Chapter 236 Dismantling a Nuclear Bomb

The nuclear fusion reactor is equivalent to a furnace, and the nuclear fuel is equivalent to coal.

There's basically nothing wrong with this metaphor, but this thing just feels... awkward.

Because this as a nuclear fuel, it is not a nuclear fuel dedicated to a nuclear fusion reactor, but a combat component removed from a nuclear bomb.

This... Although the maintenance manual clearly stated that this combat component could be used as nuclear fusion fuel, Dong Chen always felt that it was like throwing explosives into a stove.

Although the explosion conditions of nuclear bombs are quite harsh, this is a conditioned reflex of human beings, well, a psychological problem.

Dong Chen now took the maintenance manual to the ammunition bay. Looking at the nuclear bomb that was bigger than himself, he really didn't want to operate this thing.

Humanity's understanding of nuclear bombs is basically the big mushroom, as well as the ruins and tragedy after the big mushroom disappears. Although Dong Chen has never seen that kind of tragedy in the real world, he has seen it in some audio and video products. Images, but this world allowed him to see it in person.

Especially since this scene was caused by this submarine, or to be precise, it was caused by the brothers and sisters of the nuclear bomb in front of him.

After looking at the words on the maintenance manual that said 100% safe, Dong Chen followed the procedures in the maintenance manual a few times and opened the combat components on the nuclear bomb.

This world is contradictory. Advanced and retro coexist, and complexity and simplicity coexist. Dong Chen only opened a metal guard panel and saw the core part of a nuclear bomb.

Looking at the tubular body sitting there quietly, Dong Chen hurriedly stuffed the maintenance manual into his pocket, then carefully took out the tube of nuclear fuel with both hands, looking at the arm-length piece of unknown metal in his hand. Dong Chen was truly speechless.

Although the design of a uniform size is very friendly to logistics, it always makes people feel uncomfortable when this thing is used as both a nuclear bomb and fuel.

I believe that when refueling a nuclear reactor in the real world, those workers must also be very nervous.

This thing is not a machine gun bullet. Thousands of rounds can be fired out every minute. The consumption is not that big at all. A nuclear submarine can last for decades to replenish warheads and fuel, and the nuclear warheads may be used continuously. nothing.

If you have time to scratch your head and design, you can just prepare a few more tubes of fuel on the submarine. This submarine is 200 meters long, so there is no shortage of space.

Helpless, Dong Chen returned to the energy room with the tube of fuel, reopened the energy interface of the nuclear fusion reactor, and then carefully stuffed the tube of fuel in.

Seeing that the tube removed from the nuclear warhead was installed perfectly, Dong Chen always had a strange feeling like "welding a detonator and sawing a light bulb."

After confirming that the filling was complete, Dong Chen went to the operating station outside and restarted the nuclear fusion reaction device according to the steps in the maintenance manual.

With a very low buzzing sound, Dong Chen's electromagnetic perception felt that a powerful energy began to operate in the energy room, and his eyes also saw several dark columns in the energy room light up blue. With the light, some components in the nuclear fusion reaction device also started to operate.

Looking at the energy display meter connected to the nuclear fusion reactor on the operating table, I watched the pointer start to rotate from 0 to 100 before stopping.

Until the pointer stabilized at 100, Dong Chen checked the pressure of each part according to the process in the maintenance manual and found it was normal. After seeing that all parts were running normally, he felt relieved.

Dong Chen found a chair and sat down, watching the changes in the various pointers and indicator lights on the operating table in front of him. According to the maintenance manual, special attention must be paid within fifteen minutes of restarting the reactor, so he Wait for it to completely stabilize.

Fortunately, the Chinese military products in the radiation world are still strong. Even if they have been idle for 200 years without maintenance, they can still be used after replacing parts, and they run perfectly.

Fifteen minutes later, after confirming that everything was normal, Dong Chen turned off all the backup power supplies, and then connected all the lines to the main power supply.

In an instant, the originally dim lights and some emergency lights were turned off, and the entire submarine fell into darkness. Only the normally operating nuclear fusion reaction device in the energy room still emitted a faint blue light.

A second later, all the lights came on again, this time it was no longer the dim lights to save energy, but bright white lights.

Bright white lights started to light up from the energy management room, which is the cabin where Dong Chen was located, and then the command cabin, rest cabin, entertainment cabin, resource cabin, hangar, corridor... and so on, one by one cabins started. The darkness became brighter, which made this somewhat dilapidated submarine look slightly like a high-tech product.

Sure enough, lighting is a product of modern human civilization, and to a certain extent it also represents human technological civilization.

After the first lights came on, some equipment that had been turned off to save energy gradually started operating.

For example, some surveillance screens lit up, at least the monitors in front of Dong Chen lit up. This allowed Dong Chen to clearly see the operation of several key parts without entering the energy room.

Dong Chen could also feel that the air circulation system in the submarine was also running, because he could clearly see that the radiation content in the air measured by the radiation protection helmet was decreasing. He believed that it would not be long before he could take off the radiation protection helmet.

This air circulation system may be indispensable to Dong Chen, and it cannot be turned off even if it saves energy, but for Lao Zhao in the game, he is a corpse, mutated because of radiation, and he is not afraid of radiation at all. .

Therefore, this world follows the rules of the game. Although there is no Lao Zhao here, in order to save a small amount of backup energy, the air circulation system of the large energy consumer is directly turned off.

Seeing that all the data were stable, Dong Chen left the energy management room with the maintenance manual and came to the command room.

"Now that the main energy source has been restored, it should be enough to restore the control system." Dong Chen said while looking at the maintenance manual.

Everything in the maintenance manual is written in great detail. This is to enable the submarine to better perform latent missions and to allow the submarine personnel to solve more problems independently. The person who compiled this book could not wait to put all the problems together with The solutions are all written down.

Strategic nuclear submarines are generally thousands of miles away from the country. After some problems occur, they cannot return to the dock for repairs in time, so they usually have to rely on themselves.

Just like the space station and space shuttle, it is even less possible to get maintenance from professional engineers at any time when they are far away from the earth. Generally, astronauts flip through thick technical manuals and then cooperate with engineers to solve problems and solve problems through remote communication. Maintenance tasks, or just carry the technical manual and do it yourself.

Therefore, Dong Chen also successfully inspected and repaired the submarine's control system according to the procedures in the maintenance manual. However, Dong Chen was not very familiar with the submarine and wasted a lot of time in the process of repairing the system.

The only pity is that the hole blown by the mine cannot be repaired. Fortunately, after locking some hatches nearby, there will be no problem.

However, this had little impact on the movement of the submarine, so in the end the submarine was repaired by Dong Chen.
