My Black Tech Shelter

Just when Lu Chen was thinking about whether to make his own chips, his seabed prospecting robot made a new discovery.

"Sir, there is an important discovery here"

Lu Chen stopped thinking as he remembered Zero's voice.

"Zero, what did you find?"

"Sir, the prospecting robot on the seabed discovered a small open-pit uranium mine in a trench,"

"real?"

"Yes sir, tell me the location now."

After finishing speaking, the holographic map of the Annan region was displayed on the holographic platform. In a place outside the sea area of ​​Annan Kingdom, a red dot flashed.

After Lu Chen zoomed in on the red dot, the specific image was displayed.

Looking at the images transmitted back by the robot in real time, deep in a trench, a small piece of uranium ore was exposed. After detecting it with a prospecting instrument, it was found that the uranium ore reserves are about 1,000 tons. If all of them are mined and refined, You can get about 700 kilograms of enriched uranium, of which only a few kilograms of uranium-235 are available, and the rest is uranium-238.

Lu Chen had wanted to upgrade the power system before, but the current geothermal generator was only enough for the shelter's own equipment. Recently, a lot of electrical equipment was manufactured, so power has begun to be scarce.

Just now that there is this uranium mine, Lu Chen is planning to verify the fast reactor technology in the database around Shelter 1. Although Longguo has already built a test reactor, whether he has done it himself, he has to do a verification first. ,

Lu Chen planned to wait until the fast reactor nuclear power plant in Shelter 1 was completed and the technology matured before building it in Shelter 0.

"Zero, now keep one seabed prospecting robot, and the other robots will change equipment to mine all the uranium ore in this area, and then build uranium ore purification equipment far away from Shelter No. 1.

In addition, we will suspend the transportation of metal resources from Shelter No. 1 to our place and make every effort to ensure the construction needs of purification equipment.

By the way, after the uranium ore is purified, uranium-235 and uranium-238 are separated, and the uranium-235 is temporarily sealed. This thing is a bit sensitive, so I’d better not let others know about it for the time being. When the technology is verified and mature, I will start from my side. The government purchases uranium-238, which cannot be used as nuclear weapons and is not very sensitive. "

As Lu Chen spoke, he opened the fast reactor data and began to study this technology in depth.

Because I just took a general look at it before and didn’t do any in-depth research, but I didn’t expect that I would encounter uranium mines so soon.

After having uranium mines, as long as the fast reactor can be successfully operated, there will be no restrictions on energy for the time being.

While Lu Chen was researching, Ling was also taking action.

After receiving Lu Chen's instructions, the instructions were conveyed to Shelter 1. Then, all the six-legged robots on the periphery of Shelter 1 returned to the shelter, began to transport materials, and began to build separation two kilometers away from the inner shelter. Purification equipment, and except for one of the underwater prospecting robots that continued its offshore exploration, all the other robots began to return.

After the seabed prospecting robot returns to the shelter, it will install the digging equipment that has been prepared on itself and start charging.

At this time, Zero reported to Lu Chen again, reminding Lu Chen that if he needed to mine quickly, he needed to provide enough power for the robot to use.

Previous prospecting operations were in a low-power operation state. New commands were rarely sent, and they just moved in one direction. After detecting metal resources, the location was recorded and continued.

The data will be uploaded every time you return to charge.

Nowadays, mining needs to be controlled in real time, so power consumption has greatly increased.

After Lu Chen thought for a while, he checked the resource reserves of Shelter 1 and ordered Zero to have Shelter 1 start producing a batch of spare batteries.

In this way, add a set of batteries to the undersea robot to increase its mining time to one day, and then establish a battery replacement station on the seaside so that the robot can replace the battery directly here, and then let the six-legged robot replace it regularly.

After Lu Chen continued his research, Zero began to allocate resources and carry out tasks on multiple fronts.

Soon, some of the six-legged robots took materials to the beach to build a battery replacement site. At the same time, spare batteries began to be produced in Shelter 1. Some of the six-legged robots went to build purification equipment two kilometers next to the shelter.

The next day, after a night's rest, Lu Chen got up energetically. At this time, Ling reported on yesterday's construction progress.

"Sir, the purification equipment will be built in two days. At the same time, the first batch of ore has been mined and piled up next to the battery replacement station.

A tractor separated from the mine was already operating at full capacity, but the capacity was still insufficient. "

"In this way, there should be a lot of trucks at the mine. Check to see if any have not been driven away. Modify them and use them to pull ore. After the resources are sufficient in the future, search the entire mining area and bring them to the mine. All the heavy-duty trucks that can be found are converted into electric drives so that these trucks can be used normally."

After receiving the order, Zero began to make arrangements.

As for Lu Chen, after yesterday's in-depth research, he already knew how to build a fast reactor. He was just waiting for the materials to be ready to start the experiment.

It's okay today. Lu Chen is going to adjust the chicken farm. The previous free-range breeding model is not suitable for underground and needs to be adjusted.

Because the chickens are free-range, it is difficult to clean the inside of the chicken house. Lu Chen plans to divide the chicken house into two parts, a small part as the resting area for the chickens, and a large part as the activity area for the chickens. Then the ground will use an automatic cleaning system.

In this way, the activity area will be cleaned when the chickens rest, and the rest area will be cleaned when they go out. The sewage will flow into the biogas tank to produce biogas, and a small cycle will be completed.

A few days later, when the chicken house was renovated, Lu Chen put the locked chickens back into the chicken house. After the chickens regained their freedom, they ran back and forth happily in the activity area.

Lu Chen scattered some food again, and after watching the chickens fight for food normally, he returned to the studio.

In the studio, Lu Chen asked about the recent situation of Shelter No. 01.

"Sir, after several days of construction, the purification equipment has been installed and officially put into use.

By searching the entire mining area, 10 trucks with different loads were found, with a total load of 500 tons. One of the heavy mining trucks reached a load of 100 tons, and the others were trucks with a load of dozens of tons. Now it has A 40-ton truck has been transformed and can be used normally."

"Very good, I finally heard good news. How is the progress of seabed mining?"

"Because the energy supply is guaranteed, the progress of seabed mining is very fast. 50 tons of ore can be transported back to the seashore every day. After a few days of accumulation, 100 tons of uranium ore have accumulated on the seashore."

"Very good, in this way, the first pile can be built soon. Zero, you continue to mine, and I will find a way to deal with the plutonium-239. You continue to keep up the progress."

"Okay, sir"

After Zero was busy, Lu Chen thought for a while and decided to find an official to exchange plutonium-239.

After making the decision, Lu Chen took out the communicator and contacted Li Yunpeng, the leader of the military team from last time.

After a few pleasantries, Lu Chen got straight to the point.

"Leader Li, I found a small uranium mine in Annan. After purification, I can get about 3 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. I wonder if the military is interested in a deal?"

After hearing this, Li Yunpeng was also shocked. Highly enriched uranium can be used to make nuclear bombs. What does Lu Chen want to do?

However, thinking that Lu Chen dared to speak out about this matter, it proved that Lu Chen had no bad intentions.

"Mr. Lu, this matter is too big. I don't know what you need to trade? I will report to my superiors here."

"Don't be nervous, Team Leader Li. Although I am not a good person, I can't make a big killer like a nuclear bomb. This time I mainly want to solve the electricity problem of my shelter once and for all, so I am going to make a fast reactor, which requires some uranium-239, and I don't need uranium-235, so I want to trade with the official and exchange some plutonium."

"Then Mr. Lu, wait a moment, I will report to my superiors."

After Li Yunpeng reported the matter, the central government was also shocked, but after understanding the situation, they decided to exchange after a little discussion.

After receiving the notice, Li Yunpeng informed Lu Chen that he could trade after he was ready.
