Before entering the sea, the humpback whales still have several steps to take, or a heat engine.

A nuclear reactor made of weapon-grade enriched uranium can no longer be stopped once the fission reaction is turned on. The only thing that can be done is to reduce the energy output of the reactor.

The reactor is now in the heat engine.

The reactor was placed under the cockpit of the humpback whale, where the monster workers used almost the most advanced alloy metal to keep the reactor safe. At the same time, according to Ye Qing’s proposal, the monster workers also set up the last insurance lock.

Once the reactor is under loss control or technically out of control, it can't be recovered.

The connecting pipes in the reactor and the primary circuit cooling water communication device will be automatically disconnected, and the armor under the reactor will automatically untie the fixing bolts, and the reactor will fall into the watertight compartment below.

The mission of this watertight compartment is to sink into the deep sea with the reactor.

This is a safety lock that must be paid for once it is implemented. The probability of such an event is infinitely small, but when using nuclear energy, any chances that may occur are less likely to be dealt with.

At the same time, the technical difficulty of this safety lock is second only to the reactor.

Whether it is primary circuit cooling water or various connecting pipes on the reactor. They are under extreme pressure at work. When designing these pipes, ordinary engineers hate to do everything they can to harden them, especially at the pipe joints.

Now the monster workers are doing the opposite, and these interfaces are designed to be automatically detached.

The technical difficulty of this can be imagined.

There is also the manufacture of a watertight compartment below, which is not a normal compartment. After the normal compartment is equipped with a runaway reactor, it may not be long before it will be destroyed by high temperatures or a huge pressure.

In the event of an accident, a nuclear reactor is a slow fission process that does not release all of its energy instantaneously like a nuclear bomb.

The specially manufactured watertight compartment ensures that the reactor can be sealed for at least two days. At this time, Ye Qing also provided the salvage processing time. As for the salvage plan, and the plan is not available for the time being.

After all, at sea, in the event of a major nuclear reactor event, throwing away the reactor can save the humpback whale.

If you don't lose it, the humpback whales will be buried with the reactor, which will greatly increase the difficulty of salvage.

In addition to the reactor, the humpback whale has a 5000kw standby generator set that can remove power from the entire ship.

In the cockpit, a circular high-tech console, representing the electronic percentage dashboard of the reactor's energy data, has illuminated an 18% power sign.

The temperature of the primary circuit cooling water is slowly rising from 180 degrees. When it exceeds 375 degrees, the ultra-supercritical unit will warm up and start.

The standby generator set is also being activated to provide working energy for the entire ship's electrical equipment. Ye Qing thought for a few seconds and gave orders to the call system.

Two minutes later, eight metal experts and four masters walked into the cockpit from the escalator. This is the crew of the humpback whale.

“How long can the ultra-supercritical unit start?”

The exquisite master laughed and said: "At one hour and twelve minutes, when the ultra-supercritical unit is started, the nuclear reactor will enter normal power operation. If it is idle, we can use the humpback whale as the power station. It is more than enough to supply a city."

"Well, now everyone is divided according to their responsibilities and return to their respective positions. I need you to check the ship's work data again." Ye Qing clenched his fist.

After dozens of minutes, the monsters in the call system reported the data after checking the data one by one.

"Boss, the reactor control cabin is all right."

"The critical crew is normal."

"The electromagnetic engine power cabin is normal."

“The electrical control cabin is normal.”

“The liquid oil and air pressurized cabin is normal.”

"Very good, now I will open the top cover of the warehouse, the electrical control cabin and the liquid oil and air tank to pay attention to whether the work data is normal." Ye Qing also talked about the data on the main console. A huge ship that can carry 20,000 tons of cargo, according to normal conditions, the bulk wheel needs about 60 crew members, and the tanker needs 20 to 30.

This is still the most advanced giant wheel. The electric whale whale with a higher degree of electrical automation, if it is not equipped with the marine nuclear reactor of the highest industrial level of mankind, only a few monsters can be easily controlled.

At the same time, all cabin work data of the whole ship can also be displayed on the console. Ye Qing now needs to test whether the data is accurate.

Four very tactile toggle switches were opened by Ye Qing, and as the first switch was moved, the entire humpback whale was alive.

The hydraulic fuel supply system works immediately, even in the cockpit, Ye Qing can hear the system's low and strong working sound. Then, on the back of the humpback whale, there is a thick metal shell that is larger than the basketball court and slowly rises.

Inside the berth, some small and delicate parts, the resonance caused by the low roar, the belt does not stop on the metal tray.

Even outside the platform, the edge of the sea that touches the platform is also shaking.

When the back whale of the humpback whale is fully opened, the eight-storey warehouse cover is like a magnified 100-fold missile launcher, quietly there, under the cover is a huge cargo that can accommodate two hundred standard containers. warehouse.

A hidden spotlight was lit, and the interior of the warehouse, 20 meters deep, was also white.

There are also three warehouses in the same warehouse, which are opened by Ye Qing in turn.

The participation of the monsters reported is also normal.

One hour later, the primary reaction cooling water of the nuclear reaction was heated to 375 degrees by circulation and officially entered the supercritical state. At the same time, the ultra-supercritical unit was started synchronously to perform the preheating rotation of the main shaft.

After an hour and a half, with an earth-shattering shock, the two ultra-high-pressure steam of 200,000 kilowatts of power reached 600 degrees, and the ultra-supercritical unit officially entered the working state.

At this moment, the humpback whale is completely activated.

Looking at the 50% power output on the energy dial, Ye Qing took a deep breath and “opened the gate.”

At this moment, under the motor, the two steel gates of the Three Gorges ship lock in front of the humpback whales slowly open towards both sides. After tens of seconds, the first seawater quickly rushed through the gap. After a few minutes, the sea water flows like a flood.

At the same time, the humpback whale's black and flat hull first touched the sea.

The water can carry the boat. When the ship's path is completely filled with seawater and is consistent with the sea level, the humpback whales with their own weight have already floated on the sea. The lifting platform below is also driven by the hydraulic system and completely lowered to the level of the ship.

Ye Qing stood in the cockpit and looked down the long boat back, just to see the sea shining under the light.

"Starting." Ye Qing said in a mood.
