"This island is an unnamed island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Because it is too small in size and is an active volcano, surrounded by shoals and reefs, it is not suitable for building airports and ports, and has no military and transportation value." In the Xuanwu Conference Hall, Qin Peng unfolded the map.

"Because of the discovery of the terrestrial worm nest, we named it the 'Island of Calamities'."

"Xuanwu, what is the information on the Island of Calamity?" He Xingzhou asked.

Xuanwu called out the information on the Island of Calamity and said, "The worm's nest on the Island of Calamity was discovered by a marine scientific research organization. When they approached the island, they were attacked by the zerg and sent out a distress signal, and then the entire army was wiped out."

"The members of the Blue Star Alliance sent reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance that day, and they also encountered a zerg attack. The reconnaissance robots that were thrown found that there were a large number of zerg inside the volcano, which was suspected to be a terrestrial worm nest."

It shows some clips sent by the reconnaissance robot. The vegetation on this island is extremely dense. Looking down from the crater, there are deposited volcanic ash and various tall vegetation. From time to time, you can see some strange-shaped Zerg moving.

Further down, they are all blocked by vegetation, I don’t know what else is hidden inside!

"Looking at the density of the Zerg, it is also in an active volcano, and the possibility of having an insect nest is as high as 90%!" Song Jinghong said, "Previous detection has proved that the Zerg can absorb geothermal energy!"

"Only geothermal energy can raise so many terrifying monsters!" Kong Qing added.

A small island has any resources to feed the Zerg, and it has to rely on the geothermal energy of the volcano!

"Once a terrestrial worm nest appears, the evolution speed of the terrestrial zerg will increase hundreds of times!" He Hongwei said, "The Island of Calamity is in the Pacific Ocean again, and the scope of influence includes us. This worm nest must be destroyed!"

"Now the opinions of all parties in the Blue Star Alliance are to drop a hydrogen bomb, trigger a volcanic eruption, and destroy it!" Qin Peng said, "What do you think?"

"You can't be so perfunctory!" He Xingzhou said, "Destroying the worm nest is certainly feasible. But this worm nest is also our opportunity!"

"In our current experimental samples, there are almost no advanced terrestrial zerg! Even if we drop a hydrogen bomb on Calamity Island, it may not be able to kill all zerg, such as giant beasts that can hide in magma, they can resist The hydrogen bomb exploded!"

"So before destroying it, first get enough Zerg samples!"

"This point has also been raised by various parties." Qin Peng said, "but they have no confidence."

"After the aircraft carrier fleet in the Mariana Trench sank, everyone was very afraid of the hive and worried about losing too much power."

"In order to obtain a sample of Calamity Island, you have to send an army to Calamity Island. This can be said to be the most dangerous mission in the world! No one has the confidence to complete it!"

He Xingzhou nodded, this is the key question. First of all, the Isle of Calamity is surrounded by shoals and reefs, and there are insect nests, so ships cannot get too close.

Even sending the most elite marines to land operations, in front of the Zerg, it seems that they are just delivering food.

"Anyway, you have to give it a try!" He Xingzhou said, "During this time, when I developed and nuclear batteries, I will upgrade the equipment. Such as armor, laser weapons, new fighter jets and the like."

"The chances of success will be much higher then."

"So let them not be impulsive first, and then delay it for a few months."

"Okay, then we will take this attitude next time!" Qin Peng nodded.

...

The Blue Star Alliance holds a global conference, which is accomplished through network holographic projection. Mutated birds have now appeared, and planes have become less safe.

To be on the safe side, most world conferences are held online.

In the virtual conference room, commanders appeared in the conference room.

The virtual conference room is circular, with a display stand and a speech stand in the middle. The commanders sit in sequence, the first-level commander sits in the innermost circle, and then the commanders at all levels.

First-level commanders are basically from major countries, and with different strengths, the number of commanders is also different.

At present, the number of commanders of White Eagle and Shenlong is the largest, followed by Maoxiong, Hans, Gaul, etc.

"Everyone, our Blue Star Alliance held a meeting this time to discuss the response to the Island of Calamity's Hive." Qin Peng said, "All parties can make comments."

At this time, none of the second- and third-level commanders spoke up, because they knew very well that they had no ability to do anything to the Calamity Island Hive.

"Of course it was blown up!" said a burly and well-built commander. His name was Igor York, and he was from Hairy Bear.

"Our hydrogen bomb is ready! We can blow it up anytime!" he said.

"To deal with the worm nest, only hydrogen bombs can be used!" said Harvey, the commander of the White Eagle. The deep-sea monsters in the Mariana Trench left him with an indelible shadow in his heart, and now he thinks of these guys when he sees them. Nuclear weapons!

Their speeches were all expected by He Xingzhou and others.

Whether it is a white eagle or a hairy bear, they have a large number of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons have a shelf life and need to be maintained every year, which costs a lot of money.

Once the expiration date has passed, these things become a burden, costing and threatening to keep, and wasteful to destroy.

They are eager to throw these hydrogen bombs that are past their expiration date to the Zerg, so that they can free up resources to develop new weapons.

He Xingzhou said: "Using a hydrogen bomb to blow up the worm nest is of course an undisputed choice. But I think we can reserve space before blowing up the worm nest on Calamity Island and send a team to capture land zerg samples!"

"There is only such a suitable terrestrial Zerg research site in the world now, and it is directly blown up. On the surface, it reduces the risk for us, but it actually leaves a hidden danger for us to face the Zerg in the future!"

"Dr. Ho," said Herbert, one of Hans' commanders, "We also want to capture samples for research, but so far, none of the capture teams we have sent has been successful!"

"If this continues, it will only waste time and increase the loss in vain."

He Xingzhou did not deny it, and said, "The Island of Calamity is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean. Just dispatching ships requires risks. Landing is equally dangerous. It is impossible to complete the capture task with one or two small task execution teams."

"So I propose that we join forces to launch an offensive against the Island of Calamity, cover with ships, and send landing teams to perform missions. In this way, the pressure on each side will be much less, and the probability of success will be improved."

"When the mission is over, let the ships parked nearby fire hydrogen bombs to destroy the hive!"

When people think about it, their single action is indeed very difficult to succeed. If they are united together and carry out tasks at the same time, it is indeed possible that the Zerg cannot concentrate on a certain team.

"What Dr. He said makes sense!" Florent, the Gallic commander, agreed, "I agree with this proposal!"

They also want to get research samples, and now there are several big bosses taking the lead, why not do it.

"Dr. He's idea is indeed feasible. We also plan to send a team to explore before blowing up the Calamity Island worm nest. In that case, let's act together." Jonah, another commander of the White Eagle, said.

"In this case, then we have no reason to refuse." Igor York also voted in favor.

"We have no opinion either," said Herbert, commander of Hans.

Since none of these first-level commanders have any opinions, other commanders will not have any opinions.

So Qin Peng announced: "Then the joint exploration of the Island of Calamity is confirmed. Now we need to agree on a time and prepare together."

The negotiation time took a lot of effort. Some people hope that the sooner the better, and some people say that they are not ready.

In the end, they decided to do it half a year later.

Half a year is enough for them to make full preparations. During this time, they also need to study the Zerg and manufacture corresponding weapons and equipment.

...

The matter has been settled, He Xingzhou can prepare with peace of mind.

He disappeared from the public view again and threw himself into the laboratory.

He Xingzhou is working at the Institute of Atomic Energy. His partners are Dong Chen, Dean of the Department of Physics at Beijing University of Science and Technology, and Cai Hao, an atomic energy expert.

He Xingzhou's teacher Zhang Boyan also studies nuclear physics, but at this time, he was leading the construction of a nuclear power plant and had no energy to do it.

"Our existing nuclear battery technology is a radioisotope battery." Dong Chen is introducing the team's research process to He Xingzhou.

"The use of radioactive elements will continuously release energy in the form of rays with thermal energy during the metamorphosis process. The size and speed of this energy are not affected by the temperature, chemical reaction, pressure, and electromagnetic field in the external environment, so it has a strong anti-interference and stability.”

"In addition, radioactive elements have a long decay period and can be used for a long time."

"At present, the nuclear battery we developed has been used on the Chang'e satellite."

He Xingzhou carefully read the existing research materials. The current nuclear battery is a low-voltage nuclear battery with a thermoelectric difference. Its voltage is not high, and its electrical energy is not very high.

It is more common to use in medical instruments and spacecraft.

But this level is far from ideal for He Xingzhou, which can promote the long-term movement of mechanical exoskeletons, mechas and robots, and even nuclear batteries that can release weapons such as lasers, high-voltage arcs, and electromagnetic pulses.

"We are going to make a high-voltage nuclear battery!" He Xingzhou said, "Using tritium as a radioactive source, both the voltage and the current intensity, are much higher than the current temperature difference low-voltage nuclear battery."

"The problem with this is that tritium is very radioactive. How to control its decay in a small battery?" Cai Hao said. "In addition, its radiation is very strong, how can radioactive pollution be isolated?"

"I have a way!" He Xingzhou was naturally ready. He called Lumi and said, "Open the design."

As the first voice intelligence developed by him, Lumi has grown rapidly and has become He Xingzhou's life assistant.

All other smart devices have their own AI systems, so now Lumi has basically become He Xingzhou's personal AI.

Lumi's crisp voice sounded: "The 3D design has been opened!"

In front of them, a design plan for a radiation insulation layer appeared, and He Xingzhou introduced: "I adopted a multi-layer combined insulation layer design, using a composite radiation protection layer composed of a layer of carbon nanomaterials and nickel as the basis, and a multi-layered structure. They can effectively absorb and isolate radiation, and they are only a few nanometers thick, so stacking 10,000 layers is less than a millimeter thick!"

"According to the radiation intensity of the nuclear battery, increasing the thickness can complete the radiation isolation. In theory, as long as the isolation layer is not damaged, even if the nuclear battery is placed next to equipment or people, it will not affect people."

"This is another new type of material!" The two exclaimed when they saw He Xingzhou's design.

Materials are the basis for the development of all practical technologies. Often a breakthrough in a material can drive the development of many aspects of technology!

"Next is the transducer." He Xingzhou opened the second design drawing. "The transducer is the core of the nuclear battery. It converts the heat energy generated by the radioisotope atoms into electrical energy."

"The nuclear battery transducers we usually use are static thermoelectric transducers, which use the principle of thermocouples to generate potential differences in different metals to generate electricity, but such conversion efficiency is too low, less than 100%. Thirty of."

"So I designed a miniature heat engine converter that would increase the efficiency to over fifty percent..."

He Xingzhou introduced his design carefully.

The whole team is listening to the lectures and doing research.

He Xingzhou is only a preliminary design and needs to be further improved. At the same time, different styles of nuclear batteries are designed according to the manufacturing process and application scenarios.

Spacecraft nuclear batteries, micro nuclear batteries for medical instruments, nuclear batteries for intelligent equipment, and nuclear power converters for mechanical equipment, etc.

...

After the research on nuclear batteries was on the right track, He Xingzhou immediately started the research on armor technology.

The first-generation general-purpose mechanical exoskeleton has now undergone various improvements and has been used in military, engineering, and civilian applications. Some companies have used this technology to develop human mechanical prosthetics.

He Xingzhou no longer worries about these things. The upgrade and replacement are all handed over to the corresponding scientific research team.

He wants to research more powerful mechanical power armor, which is the so-called mecha!

Different from the mechanical exoskeleton, the mecha will fully cover the human body, with more power, and at the same time possess various high-tech weapons and means.

According to He Xingzhou's vision, a soldier wearing a mecha must at least be able to hunt the Zerg alone! Including those tough beetles, and even the giant "super king crab."

"Nuclear batteries are definitely not a problem." He Xingzhou thought to himself, he has verified the design and simulation of nuclear batteries many times on the computer.

Just wait for it to be manufactured and then you can use it.

"So, now I can directly unlock the corresponding technology and develop mechas!"

He looked at the quantum optical brain, looking for the corresponding technology of the mecha.

The technological system required by mecha is more complex, including mecha core, power engine, control system, defensive armor (internal and external), weapon system (defense/attack), communication system, energy device, load system, etc.

When you say procrastination, you have to rely on your conscience! Since it was put on the shelves, there have been eight chapters a day, the starting point list has been stable in the top three, and it has rushed to the first place from time to time. I can't find a few more updated than me on the entire website. Writing from morning to night, from waking up to 24:00 in the evening, but also to ensure quality, check materials, change literature to prevent harmony, and work while sick.
