Chapter 207 -s 202 and 203 – Catastrophe Island (Double Monthly Ticket Bonus Update)_2

He Xingzhou said, “Using a hydrogen bomb to blow up the Zerg hive is undoubtedly the indisputable choice, but I think before we destroy the Zerg nest on Catastrophe Island, we can leave space to send a team to capture land Zerg samples!”

“Now there is only one suitable land Zerg research location in the world, and to blow it up directly may seem to reduce our risk, but in reality, it leaves us with hidden dangers for facing the Zerg in the future!”

“Dr. He,” one of Hans’s commanders, Herbert, said, “we also want to capture samples for research, but so far, none of the capturing teams we’ve sent have succeeded!”

“Continuing like this will only waste time and unnecessarily increase losses.”

He Xingzhou did not deny it and said, “Catastrophe Island is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean, and just sending ships to it poses a risk, while landing is equally dangerous. Relying on one or two small task teams cannot accomplish the capture mission.”

“Therefore, I propose that we unite together and jointly launch an offensive on Catastrophe Island, using ships for cover and sending landing teams to execute the mission. This way, the pressure on each front will be much less, and the success rate will increase.”

“When the mission is completed, have the ships nearby launch a hydrogen bomb to destroy the Zerg nest!”

Everyone pondered. It was indeed difficult to succeed when acting individually. If they united and simultaneously conducted the mission, preventing the Zerg from concentrating on any one team, there was indeed some possibility.

“Dr. He makes a lot of sense!” France’s commander, Florance, agreed, “I support this proposal!”

They also wanted to obtain research samples, and now that several major leaders were on board, they were all for it.

“Dr. He’s idea is indeed feasible. We also plan to send teams to explore before destroying the Zerg nest on Catastrophe Island. In that case, let’s act together.” Another commander of Bai ying, Jonah, said.

“Since this is the case, we have no reason to refuse either.” Igor Yoke also cast his vote of approval.

Hans’s commander, Herbert, said, “We have no objections either.”

Since these Level 1 commanders had no objections, the other commanders were even less likely to have any.

Therefore, Qin Peng announced, “The joint exploration of Catastrophe Island is now confirmed. We need to agree on a time and prepare together.”

Discussion about the timing took quite a while, as some wanted it sooner rather than later, while others felt unready.

Ultimately, they decided to proceed in six months.

Six months’ time was enough for them to be well-prepared. During this period, they also had to study the Zerg and manufacture corresponding weapons and equipment.

…

With matters settled, He Xingzhou could prepare with peace of mind.

He once again disappeared from the public eye, delving into the laboratory.

This time, He Xingzhou’s work location was the Atomic Energy Research Institute, and his partners included Dong Chen, the Dean of the Physics Department at Beijing University of Science and Technology, and other atomic energy experts like Cai Hao.

He Xingzhou’s teacher, Zhang Boyan, was also researching nuclear physics, but at that time, he was leading a team to construct a nuclear power plant and had no energy to do this.

“Our current nuclear battery technology is a type of radioactive isotope battery,” Dong Chen introduced the team’s research progress to He Xingzhou.

“Using radioactive elements, which continuously release energy in the form of heat rays during decay, this energy’s size and speed are not affected by the external environment’s temperature, chemical reactions, pressure, or electromagnetic fields, thus possessing strong resistance to interference and stability.”

“Additionally, radioactive elements have long half-lives, allowing them to be used for a long time.”

“The nuclear battery we are developing is already being used in the Chang’e Satellite.”

He Xingzhou carefully reviewed the existing research materials. The current nuclear battery was a thermoelectric low-voltage nuclear battery, with neither high voltage nor high electric power.

It was commonly used in medical instruments and spacecraft.

But this level was far from He Xingzhou’s ideal, which was a nuclear battery capable of propelling mechanical exoskeletons, mechas, and robots for long-term operation, and even releasing lasers, high-voltage arcs, and electromagnetic pulses.

“We need to make a high-voltage nuclear battery!” He Xingzhou said, “Using tritium as the radiation source, the voltage and current strength must far exceed the current thermoelectric low-voltage nuclear batteries.”

“The challenge with this is that tritium is highly radioactive. How do we control its decay in a small-sized battery?” Cai Hao asked, “Additionally, how can we prevent its strong radiation from causing radioactive pollution?”

“I have a method!” He Xingzhou was naturally ready and called out for Luminous, saying, “Open the design diagram.”

Luminous, the first voice intelligence developed by his team, had grown rapidly and had already become He Xingzhou’s life assistant.

And other various intelligent devices had their AI systems, so now, Luminous had essentially become He Xingzhou’s personal AI.

Luminous’s crisp voice sounded, “The 3D design diagram is open!”

In front of them appeared a design plan for a radiation isolation layer. He Xingzhou introduced, “I adopted a multi-layered isolation layer design, using a composite radiation-protection layer made of a layer of carbon nanomaterial and nickel as the base, with a multi-layer stacked structure. It can effectively absorb and isolate radiation, with a thickness only a few nanometers, so even if layered ten thousand times, it is less than a millimeter thick!”

“Based on the different radiation intensities of the nuclear battery, increasing the thickness can achieve radiation isolation. In theory, as long as the isolation layer remains intact, even if the nuclear battery is placed next to the equipment or person, it won’t affect people.”

“This is a new material!” Seeing He Xingzhou’s design, both exclaimed.

Materials are the foundation for developing all practical technologies; often, a breakthrough in a material can drive the development of many areas of technology!

“Next is the transducer.” He Xingzhou opened a second design diagram, “The transducer is the core of the nuclear battery; it converts the thermal energy produced by the decay of radioactive isotopes into electrical energy.”

“The nuclear battery transducers we commonly use are static thermoelectric transducers; they utilize the thermocouple principle to produce a potential difference between different metals to generate electricity, but the conversion efficiency is too low, not even thirty percent.”

“So I designed a micro thermal engine transducer that can boost the efficiency to over fifty percent…”

He Xingzhou carefully explained his design.

The entire team was attentive, conducting research.

He Xingzhou had only made an initial design and needed to further refine it while also designing different types of nuclear batteries according to manufacturing processes and application scenarios.

Spacecraft nuclear batteries, miniature nuclear batteries for medical instruments, nuclear batteries for smart devices, and mech power converters for mechanical equipment, among others.

…

When the nuclear battery research was on track, He Xingzhou immediately turned to research on armor technology.

The first generation of the Universal Mechanical Exoskeleton had now undergone many improvements and was applied in the military, engineering, and civilian sectors. Companies had also used this technology to develop mechanical prostheses for humans.

These matters were no longer He Xingzhou’s concern and were handed over to the respective research teams for upgrades and iterations.

He aimed to study more powerful Mechanical Power Armor, otherwise known as mechas!

Unlike mechanical exoskeletons, mechas would fully envelop the human body, provide more power, and be equipped with various high-tech weapons and means.

According to He Xingzhou’s vision, a soldier wearing a mecha would at least be able to hunt Zerg alone, including those resilient beetles or even the giant “Super Emperor Crabs.”

*”Nuclear batteries were certainly not a problem,”* He Xingzhou thought. He had already verified the design and simulation of the nuclear batteries on the computer many times.

*Just waiting for them to be manufactured and they could be used.*

“So, now I can directly unlock the corresponding technology and develop the mecha!”

He scrutinized the Quantum Light Computer, searching for the related technology for mechas.

The technology system needed for mechas was more complex, including the Mech Core, power engine, Control System, defense armor (internal and external), weapon system (defense/attack), Communication System, energy device, and load system, among others.
