Global Cataclysm: Start building Noah's Ark

Chapter 92 Upgrade the Hull!Upgrade nuclear power!
At night, Noah's Ark and scientific research cruise ships turned on their strong searchlights, and other ships also turned on all the lights, and the docks were brightly lit.

In the cold wind, two cranes operated simultaneously to hoist the miniature nuclear fission reactor from the scientific research cruise ship.

"Slow down, slow down!" Lao Bi was very nervous, for fear that something might happen to this thing, and such a month's work would be wasted.

Two cranes steadily loaded the micro-nuclear reactor onto the truck.

The female guards stepped forward one after another and tied him firmly to the car.

Then there are semi-finished boilers and steam power generators manufactured by Lao Bi.

"Transport them to Noah's Ark!" Qin Bin instructed.

Then he turned around and told Yang Mi, "Go and hoist the steel from the No. 5 material ship and stack it on the pier."

"It's the captain!"

Yang Mi took two female soldiers aboard the No. 5 material ship, opened the cargo hold, and hoisted the steel down with the ship's built-in crane.

Truck after truck of steel was transported to Noah's Ark.

It was busy until 1 o'clock in the morning before finally transferring all 2 tons of high-alloy steel.

Qin Bin took a deep breath and checked his survival points.

12500 survival points!

"System, I want to upgrade the hull!"

"Ding! Good host, to upgrade the hull, a total of 5000 survival points are needed. Are you sure you want to confirm the upgrade?"

"Confirm the upgrade!"

"Ding! The upgrade is complete!"

The 2 tons of high-alloy steel on the wharf disappeared instantly.

A white light flickered on Noah's Ark, which suddenly increased in size and turned into a giant ship with a more sci-fi shape!
The huge silver-gray hull does not reflect light under the light, but it makes one's scalp tingle just looking at it!
The total length is 230 meters, the molded width is 35 meters, the molded depth is 22 meters, and the full load draft is 10.5T!

It looks like a giant beast in the sea!
This hull is more than double the size of Noah's Ark 1, and it also maintains a sharp bow, capable of breaking waves, and more stable.

There are two more naval gun positions at the bow position. There are 90 missile launch positions on the deck behind the machine guns, and there are 4 torpedo launchers on each side of the side.

At present, these positions are only preset, and they are all empty. There are no missiles inside, and the weapon system needs to be upgraded!

The whole ship adopts a fully enclosed design and an integrated mast. The island in the middle is more prominent than the previous level. The height of the island is 1 meters, which is nearly 20 times higher!
Because there is no need to resist the previous tsunami disaster, the Noah's Ark 2-stage design can have better space for the ship island.

In the front, back, left, and right directions of the island, there are reserved positions for dual-band active phased array radars, and this advanced advanced radar can be upgraded in the future.

There is a small platform behind the island. The two corners of the small platform are the positions of the anti-aircraft guns. There are a total of 4 anti-aircraft gun positions on the whole ship, and two are located on the front and rear side decks.

At the end of the ship is a helicopter platform, which can accommodate three armed helicopters. Below the platform is the helicopter garage!
Below the hangar is the speedboat deck, which can store things like speedboats and amphibious armored assault vehicles.

It can be said that after the hull of Noah's Ark is upgraded, it looks more like an advanced [-]-ton destroyer!

The 055 large destroyer is only [-] tons, and it is already one of the heaviest destroyers in the world!

And once Noah's Ark is upgraded to level 2, it can be said that it is the largest destroyer in the world!

With a tonnage of [-] tons, it is the size of a light aircraft carrier!
Qin Bin's mood was agitated as he looked at the fully upgraded group.

After upgrading the hull, it's time to upgrade the nuclear power!

"System, I want to upgrade the ship's power system to nuclear power!"

"Ding! Good host, to upgrade the nuclear power, a total of 7000 survival points are needed, are you sure to confirm the upgrade?"

In the case of already having semi-finished nuclear reactors and boilers, it still needs 7000 survival points, which is more expensive than upgrading the hull!
"Confirm the upgrade!"

Qin Bin said decisively.

No matter how painful it is to upgrade, this is the core key to solving energy demand!

As long as it has nuclear power, Noah's Ark can theoretically achieve unlimited battery life, and it can also supply power to ports and terminals, so there is no need to worry about power demand.

After the second nuclear reactor is built, the base can have a steady stream of renewable energy.

"Ding! The upgrade is complete!"

There was a dull humming sound from Noah's Ark. This sound was much smaller than using diesel power, and it was very low.

This is the sound of the nuclear reactor starting to run and starting to boil water to drive the motor to generate electricity.

Nuclear power worked!

Qin Bin immediately checked the upgraded nuclear power data.

The power generation and propulsion system of nuclear-powered ships rely on the heat energy generated by fission to boil water, and then drive the motor to generate electricity and drive the steam turbine to rotate to generate propulsion power.

Simply put, the history of human technological development is a history of boiling water.

From the earliest use of firewood, to coal, fuel oil, and now to the more advanced nuclear fission reactors, it is necessary to convert energy into heat energy first, and then boil water to drive power through the water vapor medium.

The performance of a nuclear reactor is reflected in its heating efficiency.

这台微型核裂变反应堆属于20万千瓦级的反应堆，通过电机每小时发电量10万千瓦时，24小时发电量达到240万千瓦时，除去损耗每天可以产生200万到300万度电！
Enough to meet the daily electricity consumption of a town of 10 people!

The nuclear power includes 4 steam turbines with 10 horsepower, and the maximum speed can reach 50 knots, which is about 80 kilometers per hour!
The normal cruising speed can be maintained at 35 knots, which is a bit higher than the cruising speed of most warships in the world at present!
Nuclear power not only has ultra-high energy output, but also does not require fuel replenishment. Most of the fuel storage compartment on Noah's Ark can be given over to the vehicles and equipment on board.

In this way, the vehicle equipment can have enough power energy to use!
However, in Qin Bin's view, there can be machinery that consumes diesel, but more vehicles use electric energy.

Now that Noah's Ark is equipped with a nuclear reactor, the energy is actually overflowing. If it can consume electric energy, it is best to consume electric energy. After all, diesel oil is consumed and there is no more.

Qin Bin boarded Noah's Ark and checked the changes of the whole ship. With the upgrade of the hull, the size of each functional area began to change, and even the living area was halved.

The hull has increased, the space has also increased a lot, and there are more places that can be used, but now there is only the shell of the hull.

View task progress.

"Upgrade task: The overall progress is 35%.

Hull: Upgraded Hull (Completed)
Propulsion device: upgrade the whole ship's all-electric propulsion system (not completed), nuclear reactor (completed)
Auxiliary devices: ship nuclear power plant (completed), steam boiler (completed), power supply system (completed)...

Outfitting: living area (not completed), missile launch system (not completed), expanded warehouse (not completed), expanded magazine (not completed)...

System devices: intelligent control center (not completed), security system (not completed)...

The next key upgrade point is the all-electric propulsion system of the whole ship. This is another propulsion method, which is more stable, faster in response, and more coordinated in the power of the whole ship, which can provide energy response supply at any time!
This system is arguably a better way to use energy!
