Chapter 414 Atomic Smasher

He originally planned to conduct experiments at the New Kaohsiung Space Station, but after being interrupted by the 326 space accident, Huang Haojie continued to conduct research at a secret research institute in Keelung City.

He is in the research base in the south of Keelung City, which is the base where Jiang Yingyu is in charge.

"Chairman, this is the atom smasher we just developed." Ma Shan pointed to a piece of equipment and explained to Huang Haojie.

"Atom smasher? Can it smash atoms?" Huang Junjie joked.

"Haha." Ma Shan scratched his head in embarrassment. This name is indeed quite good.

After Huang Haojie joked, he asked: "Tell me about the effect."

"Okay, Chairman." Ma Shan sorted out his thoughts and said, "This atom smasher was developed by me based on the neutron ionization characteristics of the NN-8-1 material."

After Ma Shan finished speaking, he played some more holographic test videos, and then continued:

"After many tests, we have learned about the various characteristics of NN-8-1 material, especially the activation extension range. The extension range of NN-8-1 material is proportional to its quantity. "

"In other words, the larger the number, the wider the range?" Huang Junjie asked.

Ma Shan nodded, and then said while drawing a line on the holographic display: "We found that NN-8-1 can be transformed into a line at its smallest, and a single NN-8-1 nucleus can be connected in a line."

"What's the effective distance?" Huang Junjie asked a key question.

"The maximum effective distance is about 16 kilometers. It's not that it can't be longer, but it's an issue of energy supply." Mashan explained.

"Energy supply?" Huang Junjie thought for a moment and said, "Is the activation time too long, causing the energy to be unable to be supplied?"

"Yes, once the activation distance exceeds 16 kilometers, the energy consumption will increase exponentially with each distance." Mashan nodded and said.

"Test it." Huang Haojie ordered.

Mashan started operating it immediately. The atomic crusher looked like a self-propelled artillery. In fact, its chassis platform was modified from a self-propelled artillery.

This Atom Smasher is a combination of offense and defense. It can be turned into the defensive state of the condensed matter shield and the attack state of the Atom Smasher.

Inside the lotus-like device, there is a large group of NN-8-1 stored.

Ma Shan ordered the testers to operate the atomic crusher. The "Lotus" device of the atomic crusher quickly rotated and aimed at the target 500 meters away.

Huang Junjie activated the telescope function of the stand-in robot, and the optical lenses in his eyes quickly adjusted the focus. Soon the target 500 meters away was clearly visible. It was an ordinary foam cement target, surrounded by high-speed cameras, sensors and the like. .

drop! Crackling... an imperceptible NN-8-1 air column penetrated directly into the bullseye.

Those crackling sounds are the sounds of NN-8-1 gas column neutrons ionizing the air. Because the speed is too fast, the air is ionized by the neutrons before it can be discharged.

In this case, the air ionized by neutrons will produce discharge phenomena.

Huang Junjie glanced at the data from the atom smasher, which showed that the speed of the NN-8-1 air column reached 67 kilometers per second. No wonder the air could not react to this speed.

The attack was completed in an instant. After completing the attack, the NN-8-1 air column shrank back instantly, and the speed of return was also very fast.

Huang Junjie focused his sight on the target. A hole with a diameter larger than a basketball appeared in the middle of the target. The edge of the hole was a smooth and scorched hole wall.

"The target is made of high-strength foam cement, with a thickness of 1 meter, which is equivalent to 5 meters of ordinary cement." Ma Shan quickly introduced:

"Actually, foam cement and ordinary cement are similar. This kind of neutron ionization can only slightly block the neutron ionization attack unless it is a defensive wall built with heavy elements."

Of course Huang Junjie knows the reason. If a lead plate or a tungsten steel alloy plate is used, it may be able to block it for a second or two, and the premise is that the thickness is very large, preferably more than 1 meter.

However, 1 meter of thickness is armor, and even aircraft carriers do not reach this level. Even if 1 meter of armor can be installed, the weight can make people desperate.

This is not reinforced concrete armor, but lead alloy or tungsten steel alloy armor. That weight can turn a battleship or tank into a real turtle.

The problem is that the defensive power of this turtle shell is still unsatisfactory. There is not much improvement in the defense power with or without installation. Anyway, under the neutron ionization attack of NN-8-1, whether it is reinforced concrete or tungsten steel alloy, it will Just like paper.

"This thing is within the killing range. Unless a condensed matter shield is installed, conventional materials cannot resist neutron ionization attacks." Ma Shan continued.

"The killing range is a flaw and can only be used as a supplement to the condensed matter shield. However, if it is used as a tunnel excavator, this thing is very useful." Huang Haojie said with a smile.

"It's true. The 16-kilometer killing range is indeed very small. The tunnel excavator is indeed a good idea." Ma Shan reacted after being stunned.

NN-8-1's neutron ionization attack is indeed very impressive if applied to tunnel excavation.

Regardless of the tunnel's water seepage or collapse, it is not a problem to dig hundreds of kilometers a day.

Suddenly, Huang Haojie's eyes lit up, and he observed the atomic crusher, thinking about the problem as he walked.

Ma Shan saw the big boss thinking about the problem and did not dare to disturb him. He could only wait aside.

Huang Junjie turned on the holographic bracelet and asked Zhong to assist him. He quickly designed a device. Ma Shan also watched Huang Junjie design this thing.

The equipment looked a bit like a stove, but Ma Shan didn't know what this thing was used for, but Huang Haojie had no intention of explaining it and continued to immerse himself in the design work.

After about half an hour, a draft was finally released. Huang Junjie touched his chin, wondering if this design needed improvement.

"Chairman, is this a smelting furnace?" Mashan also saw something about the situation at this time.

"Yes, I designed the ionization furnace based on the neutron ionization characteristics of NN-8-1." Huang Haojie nodded.

All elements can be ionized, but the energy required is different. Some elements are very easy to ionize, such as xenon, hydrogen, and metallic sodium; there are also some elements that are difficult to ionize.

Huang Haojie took advantage of this characteristic to ionize elements step by step by finely adjusting the neutron ionization intensity of NN-8-1.

Suppose there is a piece of iron ore in the ionization furnace. We can separate different elements through different degrees of ionization, so that the effect of purification and smelting can be achieved.

Huang Haojie estimates that this smelting method can save 30 to 40% of energy consumption, and can also fully extract other rare elements in the ore.

Moreover, this ionization furnace is very suitable for outer space smelting, because the energy required by the ionization furnace is relatively small. The small energy consumption means that the heat generation is also small, and the heat dissipation problem in the vacuum environment is reduced by more than half.

If the thermoelectric power generation system and radiation heat dissipation system can be combined, the heat dissipation problem of vacuum smelting can be solved.

Huang Haojie immediately sent the plan to the Materials Research Institute and asked them to build a prototype and send it to the new Kaohsiung Space Station for testing.
