Starship Troopers: When I kill insects, I become stronger

Chapter 93 Nuclear Mine!!

“The tenth squad of the three teams remains, and the rest follow me in.”

“Listen well, don’t hesitate after seeing the enemy, the front row is covered by fire, and the rear row is supported by grenades.”

Zarak left three squads at the entrance and then walked into the passage with a large force

The passage slopes steeply downwards, and after walking a little way, the height drops below the surface.

At this time, forks and rooms began to appear on both sides of the passage.

There was not much room for forks, so Zarak did not choose to take a fork in the road.

The room is carefully examined.

These rooms are supposed to be the storage rooms of the Torfitel Starmen, because they are full of all kinds of tools, even those like hammers.

Zarak is not at all interested in this basic tool and does not even recycle it.

Ten minutes later, the team arrived at an underground plaza.

The square is about three hundred square meters, and there are many soldiers and insects wrapped in blue amber wrapped in adhesive.

If you look to the left, you can see several holes cut into the metal wall

It can be seen that the base was breached from here, when the Tofitel Starmen also fought with the burrowing soldiers, but in the end they lost.

“Blow up the hole.”

Zarak stuck his head into the hole and looked at it, and the 917 was indeed a hole dug by soldiers and insects from the traces.

The inside of the wormhole is very wide, the size of a room, but there are many curves, you can’t see where it leads, and it is safest to blow it up directly.

After dealing with the wormhole, the team moved on.

“Sir, why didn’t you leave?”

At this time, Sim, who was walking behind Evan, found that Evan stopped, and he almost crashed into it.

“It’s okay.”

Evan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

His telepathic ability perceives things again.

However, the perception is not very strong, it may be too far away, or the mood swings may not be strong enough, so you can only try closer and try again.

After crossing the square, the crowd entered a passage again.

The passage is long and wider, like a horn, with a pale blue light shining into the passage at the end.

When I walked to the end of the passage, everyone opened their mouths.

A huge cave appeared in front of him, and the whole cave was an upright column, which looked like it had been dug by a giant drill.

There is no metal protection on the walls of the cave, but natural rock formations.

These rock formations are strange, shimmering with a pale blue glow, like a luminous stone mine and fluorite mine.

Around the glowing rock wall, a metal boardwalk is built against the wall, forming a spiral downward staircase.

“Locke, check it out.”

Zarak frowned and said to Locke.

There is no artificially created light energy here, so the rock wall is not a light-absorbing ore.

But the rock wall naturally produces fluorescence…

This shows that these stones contain radioactive elements and belong to radioactive minerals.

Radioactive elements may not be known to many people in depth, but it has another name.

Radioactive nuclide!

With a nucleus in the name, elementary school students will feel very dangerous when they hear it.

In fact, this element is indeed dangerous, and the most common in the nuclide family are beryllium, polonium, uranium, thorium, radium.

Beryllium and plutonium are extremely poisonous, sticking a little in the morning, the body will be completely necrotic at noon, and the banquet will be directly opened at night.

These two elements are then deposited to release neutron source energy, most notably for nuclear weapons and space fuel.

Uranium, thorium, and radium are not far behind, it joins the atomic energy industry, everyone calls them nuclear energy, is an important material for the manufacture of nuclear weapons.

Radioactive elements are either high-energy fuel or high-energy nuclear materials, and it is strange that they are not dangerous.

Moreover, the fluorescence intensity emitted by the rock wall is not worse than that of warm lamps, and the content of radioactive elements carried on it is absolutely extremely high, dangerous to burst.

“Sir, we may be in trouble.”

“This is a highly explosive fissile material, they are very similar to the organic fuel used in starships, but they are very unstable, like phosphorus with its own radiation.”

After Locke finished inspecting the rock wall with the instrument, his face turned a little ugly.

“So we can’t shoot?”

Zarak frowned, feeling the pressure on his shoulders suddenly heavier.

This is not the base of the Tofitel Starmen, but the mine of the Torfitel Starman, a strategic nuclear mine!

The Tofitel Starmen have compression glue guns and bugs with claws, but they only have guns that cause sparks.

Once the nuclear ore is detonated, the entire hilly area will be blown up into the sky!

“Sir, I don’t think the situation is that serious.”

“Radioactive minerals contain only primordial elements, and their radiation may be strong, but ordinary elements are difficult to react with.”

“Just like a nuclear bomb, unless we bombard it with high-energy neutrons, even if we bake the nuclear bomb for three days and three nights, the nuclear bomb will not explode, and at most it will produce nuclear leakage.”

“We just don’t take off our armor, otherwise it will rot into a meatloaf in half an hour, and finally turn into a glowing skeleton.”

At this time, Evan silently raised his hand.

He was sure that when Locke and Zarak went to school, they were the same scumbags as Johnny.

“Are you sure?”

Zarak was silent for a moment and then asked again.

“I can’t be 100% sure, but the tools of the Tofitel Starman are metal.”

Evan shook his head.

He didn’t know much about nuclear materials, but he had read some basic introductions when he read books.

What is certain, however, is that radioactive minerals here are difficult to provoke, at least not by jerking them with metal tools.

“Metal tools…”

Zarak was stunned for a moment, then laughed rarely.

If the spark collision alone could cause a reaction of radioactive minerals, then the Tofitel Starman would have been blasted into powder when he excavated.

As the commander of the team, he actually missed the clues he saw on the road, which is a low-level mistake that should not be made.

After a thrilling episode, the team moved on.

Further down the road is not easy, they need to step on the spiral mine road, all the way to the bottom of the pit.

Bad walking refers to time consuming.

This spiral mine cave is very large, probably more than 100 meters in diameter.

With a diameter of one hundred meters, then the length of a spiral ore channel is three hundred and fourteen meters.

The spiral mine cave cannot see the bottom at a glance, and the spiral mine channel that can be seen is at least twenty turns.

In other words, the road that can be seen is six kilometers long, and the one that cannot be seen does not know how long.

This trip goes on, and it takes seventy or eighty minutes to walk the bottom.

After all, they can’t use to run, it’s too dangerous…
