Planet Builder

Once the most powerful place in the world, New York has remained intact despite the swarms.

They built a 40-meter-high steel defense line along the edge of the coastline. In terms of shape and function, it is suspected of imitating the steel Great Wall, but the locals prefer to call it the Wall of Freedom.

Within this wall is a paradise of freedom!

The wall of freedom has more than one layer, and there is an inner layer inside, and the boundary between the inner layer and the outer layer completely separates the rich from the poor.

"The swarm is attacking, please enter the shelter immediately to escape!" The alarm sounded in the city.

The people in the outer layer hurriedly entered the underground shelter; while the people in the inner layer, many of them had already driven into cars and planes, left the city, and went to the inner city for refuge.

"Everyone, please rest assured that the Wall of Freedom will never be destroyed!" On the news program, Commander Leslie vowed, "We have the strongest line of defense and use powerful weapons."

"We have tens of thousands of hydrogen bombs, even deep sea monsters, we can blow them to pieces!"

Their hydrogen bomb reserves are extremely large, and after the era of cataclysm, they have increased a lot. The meaning of the command is that the number of hydrogen bombs must be able to blow up the deep sea monsters around the world!

"We will definitely keep it!"

"Long Live the Wall of Freedom!"

"We still have the Sunbird Company, and the leader of human civilization like Dr. Barry! It is impossible to fail!"

Many people are full of confidence. In the early days of the cataclysm, some cities and defense lines were breached by the Zerg, and the Zerg entered the interior, causing great harm to people.

But just after the headquarters cooperated with Sunbird Company, the situation has been greatly improved. The combination of the Biochemical Corps and modern weapons removed most of the Zerg from the land and preserved some important cities.

Survivors from all over the world are trying their best to run here, hoping to live on the soil of freedom.

In the headquarters, Leslie is arranging tactics with his subordinates: "There are too many Zerg, and the fleet intercepts them from a long distance. With the wall of freedom as the defensive line, they must not be allowed to break through the wall of freedom!"

"As soon as the deep-sea behemoth emerges, bomb it with a hydrogen bomb!"

"Yes!" Everyone started to make arrangements.

After contacting his subordinates, he connected with Barry again.

"Mr. Barry, how long will it take for your biochemical army to arrive?" Leslie asked.

Barry said: "Don't worry, our biochemical army is already on the way and will arrive when necessary!"

How could Leslie not be in a hurry in his heart, although he looked like he was going to win, but he knew very well in his heart that the deep-sea behemoth was definitely not that easy to deal with!

A few years ago, the deep-sea behemoth was able to resist hydrogen bombs, and now this one has no other ability to defy the sky!

Since Jonah and Harvey stepped down as commanders, his record after taking over has been mostly victories. The main reason is because the Sunbird's biochemical army played a great role in combat.

Without the Biochemical Corps, he would not have the confidence to win.

"I hope you can be on time!" Leslie didn't say much. The command of the Biochemical Corps was always in Barry's hands.

For those biochemical monsters, they also don't know how to control them!

The swarm has approached the coastline, and the worms have begun to charge the wall of freedom. Countless missiles, artillery, and electromagnetic guns are bombarding, and the stumps of insects are piled up on the beach!

The power of these cannonballs is not as good as those on the Great Steel Wall, but they are better in number and can barely resist.

"Shoot a hydrogen bomb!" Leslie saw that there were too many swarms, and directly ordered a hydrogen bomb to be fired into the far sea.

The hydrogen bomb was like water, the mushroom cloud rose, and countless bugs were killed.

"It's really extravagant!" Seeing this scene, Xuanwu executives sighed with emotion. It's not a special situation. They won't launch hydrogen bombs in the sea near them, but it's not difficult for Rilis to issue this order.

The defensive battle lasted for an hour, and the Wall of Freedom remained steadfast. Countless bugs were killed. During this period, they fired six hydrogen bombs.

"If this goes on, we will be able to hold on!" Leslie gradually gained confidence.

And the people have also been informed that so far, the first wall of freedom has not fallen.

"The wall of freedom can still protect us!"

"It doesn't matter how many Zerg come!"

"We are safe!"

"One day, we'll go back to the sea and kill the bugs!" They could let go of their hearts.

"With the Wall of Freedom, maybe we don't need the Biochemical Corps, we can hold it!" Leslie thought to himself, this Wall of Freedom was what he advocated to build.

If he can defend successfully this time, he will definitely become famous and gain more support.

At this time, the satellites in the sky showed that the shadows in the deep sea were approaching the water surface!

"Behemoth, are you finally coming out?" Leslie became serious, "Nuclear bomb launch team ready!"

Everyone looked nervously at the pictures taken by satellites and drones. Surrounded by the swarm, a behemoth finally surfaced!

Including the tail, its body is about 400 meters long, with fins and a dinosaur-like head, and the skin on the body is like crocodile skin, hard lumps.

Overall, it looks like a combination of a crocodile and a Cretaceous ocean overlord Mosasaurus!

The moment it appeared, a hydrogen bomb was aimed at it.

This deep-sea behemoth was obviously prepared for the hydrogen bomb. Those pimples on its body showed a high-energy reaction, and a lightning bolt instantly cut through the sky, detonating the hydrogen bomb in advance.

There was a big firework in the sky, and the beast was unharmed!

"It actually discharges. The pimples on its body should be the same as electric eels. They are special biological discharge tissues." He Xingzhou said immediately.

"These deep-sea beasts have already deliberately avoided nuclear bombs. If you want to deal with them, the difficulty will be doubled!" Song Jinghong said solemnly.

"Continue to fire!" Seeing that the Mosasaurus crocodile detonated the nuclear bomb ahead of time, Leslie frowned and ordered the team to fire the second one immediately.

This one did not come from the sky, but the nuclear submarine was launched from underwater, because at this time the Mosasaurus Crocodile had come to the surface of the sea, within the range of the underwater nuclear bomb.

"Zizzizizi..." The sea water near Crocodile Mosasaurus was filled with high-voltage current, and the bomb was detonated before it got close.

"Launch!" Leslie continued to shout. This time, ten hydrogen bombs fell at the same time, and the Mosasaurus Crocodile could not be shattered. One hydrogen bomb hit it!

Its smaller half body was instantly vaporized, it let out a painful howl, and then dived to the bottom of the sea.

"Hit!" the soldiers cheered, "We repelled the deep sea beast!"

"Harvey, have you seen it?" Leslie was excited, "Deep sea monsters are not invincible!"

Before they were happy for a second, suddenly a lightning bolt was launched from the sea and penetrated the wall of freedom.

In the offshore area, another crocodile mosasaur appeared!

"One more?" Leslie's eyes widened, "How come there is one more?"

"No, there are still two!" The observer shouted in horror, and he found another crocodile mosasaur.

Leslie yelled, "Quick, keep attacking!"

"At this distance, the hydrogen bomb will affect us!" the commander next to him shouted.

"Can't handle that much! Can't let it get close to the city!"

Several nuclear bombs were fired again. This time, the crocodile armor Mosasaurus was better protected. The two heads cooperated with each other, and there were countless flying zerg forming a protective net. This time, no hydrogen bomb could hit them!

The shock wave of the hydrogen bomb set off a tsunami, and the sea crashed against the wall of freedom.

A crocodile mosasaur has landed, and it sent a high-voltage current to the wall of freedom, and the soldiers inside were electrocuted to scorch in an instant! And those weapons, bombs, all exploded, and the wall of freedom collapsed!

The second electric shock also fell quickly, and the "indestructible" inner wall of the Wall of Freedom, before the terrifying energy erupted, also failed to last for a second and collapsed instantly!

As the wall of freedom collapsed, so did people's beliefs!

"The wall of freedom has fallen! Where is there any place to be safe?"

"The giant beast has entered the city, hurry up and escape!"

"The city of freedom is about to be destroyed!"

"It is impossible for humans to stop the Zerg!"

"Destroy it, destroy it all! The world is over!" The people who were still shouting long live freedom just now are shrouded in despair!

"It's over, this city can't be held anymore!" When the Wall of Freedom collapsed, Leslie knew that it was over!

Even if the next nuclear bomb kills these crocodile mosasaurs, the city will be destroyed!

"It's our turn to come on stage!" In a secret experimental base of Sunbird Biotechnology Company, a smile appeared on the corner of Barry's mouth.

"The new super-power nuclear power plant in New York really caught their attention, thanks to the nuclear fuel we poured into the sea!" The bug said excitedly, "Quick, go to their lair first, there must be giant beast embryos and eggs!"

"Blow up one or two more with a hydrogen bomb, and we can get several samples of giant beasts!"

"Roy, it's time to go!" Barry shouted into the communicator.

"Yes!" In the Atlantic Ocean, an aircraft carrier fleet began to go to the worm nest, and they wanted to capture giant beast embryos or samples of giant beast eggs.

The fleet was supposed to support the defense of New York, but the command of the fleet was now under Barry's command.

"New York, fall!" When the news spread all over the world, those who survived felt extremely shocked.

Many of them are still working hard to go to the city of freedom, but now, this so-called last city of freedom in the era of cataclysm has also fallen in the attack of the Zerg, and many survivors have been desperate.

"Human civilization, it's not time to perish!"

"Shenzhou is still safe, it is the last pure land of mankind!"

"If the giant beasts attack Shenzhou, can they hold it?"

...

The fall of New York means that the Zerg has completely landed on land. The era of the rampant nuclear power behemoth Zerg has come!

Human beings, on the other hand, are at the critical pass from primitive civilization to first-level civilization. If they cannot break through the controllable nuclear fusion technology before the giant beast strikes, all their early efforts will be in vain!

The artificial sun project has become the top priority.

"Re-correct the laser!" In the laboratory, He Xingzhou was adjusting the laser design with everyone.

For a single atom to release a temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, at least a nuclear fission reaction must occur. The laser cannot reach such a temperature, so it is necessary to use the laser focusing method to make hundreds of lasers converge at one point, generate ultra-high temperature, and ignite the nuclear fusion raw materials!

On hundreds of previous attempts, they all failed. The focusing of the laser is not so easy, and there are different requirements for the angle, power, direction, etc. of the laser.

Through different calculations, they reset the values ​​of hundreds of lasers, and then fixed them in the corresponding positions of the tokamak device.

After several days of busywork, everyone finally solved the problem of the laser. With that, most of the structure of the spherical tokamak is complete.

Unlike the previous ring-shaped tokamak that weighed tens of thousands of tons and had a diameter of several hundred meters, the spherical tokamak this time was less than 30 meters in diameter.

With such a diameter, if it can successfully control nuclear fusion, it can be installed on large military weapons or engineering equipment!

"Finally do the equipment verification again, and three days later, prepare to ignite our artificial sun!" He Xingzhou said.

Three days passed in a flash.

During this time, the team readjusted and inspected the spherical tokamak and confirmed that there were no problems.

And today, they will ignite this little artificial sun!

This incident has attracted national attention. The news media came and asked to visit and report. Countless people were paying attention to the controllable nuclear fusion technology.

"Academician He Xingzhou leads the team and is about to break through the controllable nuclear fusion technology? Please lock in today's news and bring you the latest information!"

"The artificial sun will be lit today!"

"The most meaningful technology of human civilization will start experiments today!" There are similar reports all over the Internet.

But He Xingzhou did not start the live broadcast this time, because of the technology of controllable nuclear fusion, he could not guarantee a success.

The theory of nuclear fusion has been known in the last century, but it is difficult to really control it.

Even if all processes are as designed, new problems may arise.

In the control center, He Xingzhou, Kong Qing, Duan Bingzhen, and He Xingzhou's teacher, Zhang Boyan, Dong Chen, Cai Hao, and others are all here. There are hundreds of experts in atomic energy and nuclear physics alone.

In addition, the number of people involved in this project exceeds 100,000! They are also awaiting the experimental results.

"The last inspection, report the situation of the device!" He Xingzhou shouted.

"Report, the test is completed, and the device is all in good condition." The inspector reported.

"Okay!" He Xingzhou said, "The countdown will start below, and in three minutes, the artificial sun will be ignited!"

Everyone is quiet, the control center, and only the voices of people operating the quantum computer are left.

The media outside the venue are also paying attention and reporting the current situation.

"Countdown, ten seconds." He Xingzhou started the countdown, and his voice became solemn.

Kong Qing straightened his back, his eyes fixed on the holographic screen.

"Eight!" Zhang Boyan's mood involuntarily became tense.

"Seven!" Dong Chen and Cai Hao held their breaths and didn't even dare to breathe, as if they were afraid that this would affect the experimental process.

"Six!" Duan Bingzhen and the researcher's hearts were raised in their throats.

"Five!" The media workers outside the venue seemed to have been casted by the immobilization spell and remained motionless.

"Four, three, two, one, fire!" He Xingzhou's steady and loud voice sounded in the command center.

The electronic sound of the AI ​​system sounds: "Start the laser transmitter, start the ignition!"

They can't see what's going on in the device, but the computer can simulate the reaction scenario through the meter's data.

At the center of the spherical tokamak is the neutron reaction chamber.

Hundreds of laser transmitters were activated at the same time, and the high-energy lasers converged on the target in the center, where the raw materials for deuterium and tritium fusion were placed.

Particles collide, producing blazing heat! On a time scale undetectable to humans, the temperature at this point exceeds 100 million degrees Celsius!

At this moment, the temperature here is comparable to the real core of the sun!

"The temperature has exceeded 100 million degrees Celsius!" The AI ​​system reported the situation.

Everyone became more and more nervous, and Duan Bingzhen whispered: "This time, it's time to test the high temperature and high pressure superconducting material on our inner wall!"

"In the previous experiment, the inner wall was melted!"

Although they use magnetic confinement to control the reactor, the inner wall of the container is not in direct contact with the high temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, but at such a close distance, the test of the ultra-high temperature on the inner wall is still very severe!

At this point, the nuclear fusion reaction has begun!

The nuclear material is heated by the ultra-high temperature into countless particles, which impinge on the isolation layer.

The divertor diverts the charged particles from the outer shell of the discharge into a separate reaction chamber, where the charged particles bombard the baffle and become neutral particles that are pumped away.

At the same time, a large number of neutrons escaped and hit the inner wall, again testing the performance of the inner wall. The cooling system has begun to work, it is constantly cooling the inner wall to prevent the inner wall from being melted through due to high temperature!

High-temperature plasma, has appeared in the magnetic field!

Through the thermoelectric conversion device, the energy of nuclear fusion is being exported!

On the ammeter, it shows that the energy output soars in a straight line.

"The current energy gain value is 3.7, 4.6..." The energy output display has been increasing, reaching 20, which means that this nuclear fusion reactor can almost meet the most basic requirements for commercial power generation.

The energy output has also been increasing over time.

"The Q value is 20!" When the energy gain value reached 20, everyone was already a little excited.

"It's 40!" Dong Chen shouted.

"The Q value is over fifty!" Zhang Boyan looked overjoyed.

"The duration of the discharge has been 60 minutes, which is longer than any previous human nuclear fusion experiment!" Duan Bingzhen clenched his fists, he had already seen the dawn of victory!

Outside, media reporters are still asking.

"Is it successful now?"

"It can't be said to be successful yet!" the researchers said. "We will see if it can be stabilized by continuous discharge. If it can continue to stabilize, it means we have succeeded!"

"Controlled nuclear fusion has been stable for an hour, and we are likely to succeed!" Some reporters couldn't help but publish the article, which attracted cheers and celebrations from people.

"Controlled nuclear fusion is about to succeed?" Xuanwu executives also paused their work to watch.

Before they could celebrate, an accident happened.

The AI ​​system reminded: "Warning, energy output is decreasing!"

"What's the situation?" Everyone's heart jumped when they heard the warning.

At this time, all instruments have abnormal data.

"High temperature plasma is drastically decreasing!"

"Nuclear fusion is about to stop!"

A few seconds later, Duan Bingzhen looked at the meter with zero energy output, and his tone was extremely heavy: "The nuclear fusion reaction has stopped!"

Everyone's heart sank, they thought this time would be more successful than any previous time, but the nuclear fusion reaction stopped!

In the entire control center, everyone fell into a brief silence.

They were still immersed in anticipation and joy just now, but at this time, with the extinction of the artificial sun, their hearts also sank to the bottom.

"What's the problem?" Kong Qing asked, "The whole process, so the meter shows normal!"

The AI ​​system replied: "There is no abnormality in the spherical tokamaka device, and the instrument is normal."

When they heard the AI ​​system, everyone was even more chilled. Since there is no problem with the equipment, it means that there is a problem with their design?

They prefer other problems. If it is a design problem, maybe one of their ideas is wrong!

"At least this time, we broke the previous discharge record." Zhang Boyan comforted, "Re-examine the plan again, we should be able to figure it out."

"Yeah, after all, it is controllable nuclear fusion, the most important technology for human civilization to move towards a new era. Good things come and go." Dong Chen also said.

"This time the progress is so great, we will soon improve the plan!" Cai Hao said.

None of the others spoke, of course they knew that this time it was a big improvement. But time waits for no one, and the nuclear behemoths are active around them frequently, and it is only a matter of time before they attack Shenzhou!

Everyone looked at He Xingzhou, his expression was very calm, He Xingzhou said: "This experiment is an unprecedented breakthrough."

"I think there is no problem with the device and design ideas. We should have overlooked a certain detail! As long as we find it, we can truly break through the controllable nuclear fusion technology!"

"Yes, what Dr. He said is right, everyone cheer up, let's continue to cheer!" Everyone responded, "Now cool down the reaction device immediately, and try to find the problem in the shortest time possible!"

Outside, the media also found something different.

"The fusion reaction has stopped!"

"It didn't work this time!" They looked at each other, thinking that this would be a big news that would change human civilization, but they didn't expect it to fail!

The researcher said: "Friends from the media, although we failed to stably control the nuclear fusion reaction this time, we have surpassed any previous time. We believe that we will soon be able to overcome the final problem."

The media can only report in this way, but this news does not sound so wonderful to the public.

"The controllable nuclear fusion experiment failed to stabilize!"

"The discharge effect stopped within an hour!"

"Failed?"

"It's a pity, I wish them an early success!"

"@Planet Builder, come on, Academician He!"

People were cheering them on, but everyone was a little uneasy.

They have seen the horror of nuclear power behemoths, and those guys may not be able to blow up even with hydrogen bombs.

If human beings are stuck on the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, human civilization will not be far from extinction!

He Xingzhou was also looking for the problem. He analyzed every data and thought hard.

...

Tianzhu, Ganges River Basin, a large refuge.

This is a vast area with a large population. After the advent of the era of cataclysm, it did not successfully resist the invasion of the Zerg.

The Zerg landed from the ocean, invaded the continent in front, and created a purgatory on earth.

In the shelter, people struggle to survive. They had to face starvation, disease and mobs.

Outside the sanctuary, there are Zerg attacks and gatherings every day.

In one area of ​​the camp, a man stood in the middle of the street, blocking all traffic entering and leaving.

The survivors quickly recognized him, "Jaiba, you murderer, how dare you show up?"

Once when the Zerg invaded, the man took advantage of the chaos to kill and loot. Because of the chaos, he was allowed to escape.

The crowd gathered around and shouted, "Catch him and kill this murderer!"

"Get out of the way!" Jaiba grabbed the pickup truck beside him with one hand. He lifted the pickup truck with one hand and smashed a man who approached to death.

It was only then that everyone discovered that his sleeves were not hands, but claws like Zerg!

"It's a bug, he has become a bug!" Everyone backed away in horror.

The so-called worms are monsters that have been infected by human beings with zerg gene mutations. Eating Zerg flesh and blood is prone to this situation.

Because of the sufficient food security in China, this phenomenon naturally does not occur. In all parts of the world, the appearance of bug people has been very frequent.

Most of them have been reduced to mutated beasts, losing human emotion and reason. But there are very few who still retain the original memory and thinking.

Jaiba burst out laughing, he rushed into the crowd, grabbed a nobleman by the neck, locked his throat tightly, and jumped onto the roof, shouting: "You bastards are hopelessly stupid. ."

"This guy, my younger brother was just too hungry at the beginning. After eating his family's bread, he sent someone to beat my younger brother to death!"

"And I, just avenging my brother and killing the bully who killed him, became a murderer! It's ridiculous!"

"Jia... Yiba, let me go, I'll give you food and money!" The nobleman's face was flushed as he pinched his trachea.

"Food, hum, aren't you all food?" Jaiba opened his mouth, his mouth full of fangs, and a long forked tongue like a snake.

"As for money, money in this world has long been useless! You all deserve to die! I will represent the great Lord of Destruction and punish your sins!"

As he said that, he bit the nobleman's neck in one bite and directly tore off his head.

This cruel scene made people flee in terror.

"Bang bang bang!" A series of gunshots sounded, and a guard shot at him.

The bullet pierced through his clothes, but failed to penetrate into his body. There was also a thin layer of scales on his body, blocking the bullet!

"Ask for support! This is a high-level bug!" The guards quickly fled.

Jaiba rushed over, faster and more agile than a cheetah, and soon had him catch a guard.

"Don't...don't kill me!" The guards were frightened with tears.

"Sad guy." Jaiba grabbed him by the neck and brought him up to his eyes, the scarlet tongue slid across his face, and the barbs on his tongue slashed the guard's face with blood!

"Go and call your supreme commander, I want to negotiate with him!" Jaiba said, "Tell him that I am the messenger of the Lord of Destruction, and I will deliver the order of the Lord of Destruction!"

After speaking, he threw the guard out, and the guard quickly got up and went over to report.

Jaiba didn't move, just waiting there. Soon he was surrounded, and the muzzles of several armored vehicles locked on him.

Hundreds more, with guns pointed at him.

In the distance, Commander Singh shouted with a loudspeaker: "Jaiba, take it easy!"

Jaiba said without fear, "I am the messenger of the Lord of Destruction. As long as you dare to do it, the tens of millions of insect swarms outside will immediately drown this place!"

Singh was suspicious and asked, "Who is the Lord of Destruction? What are you going to do?"

"The Lord of Destruction is the Insect King you said!" Jaiba proudly announced, "The insect swarms outside are all its subordinates, and now I will serve it!"

"It asked me to inform you that you have to find enough nuclear material for it, and offer a thousand people as its food every day, it will not attack you!"

"Otherwise, everyone here will die!"

"I suggest you learn to be smart. Before you, I went to five shelters, two rejected us, and all of them have been eaten. And the other three, luckily became the subordinates of the Lord of Destruction !"

"He's a lunatic, kill him!" someone shouted.

Singer didn't dare to make a decision easily, there were indeed many bugs gathering outside.

But offering nuclear raw materials, this is something he can't do at all. This sanctuary has no ability to extract nuclear materials at all.

"Bang!" I don't know who fired without heeding the order.

Immediately afterwards, other soldiers also fired and fired.

When the hail of bullets came, Jaiba's body suddenly disappeared in place. After the bomb exploded, Singer discovered that there was a tunnel that had been dug in the ground.

"Wait for destruction!" Jaiba's voice echoed in the distance.

He crossed the passage, came to the Ganges River, and shouted in the Zerg language: "My lord, they refuse to accept your gift, and they are unwilling to provide you with nuclear materials and food."

"Then destroy it!" A huge shadow appeared in the turbid river.

Immediately afterwards, countless Zerg gathered and began to attack the refuge camp.

"Quick, urgent defense!" Singer hurriedly returned to the headquarters to direct defense.

The changes here were also captured by the Skynet satellite, and Xuanwu informed the executives.

In the Xuanwu Conference Hall, all six Xuanwu executives were present, and only He Xingzhou was absent because he was studying controllable nuclear fusion technology.

"This time is extraordinary. Dr. He is temporarily absent because of his research on controllable nuclear fusion. We have six discussions." Qin Peng presided over the meeting.

"Okay." Everyone knows that He Xingzhou has been looking for the problem of the controllable nuclear fusion reaction before, and it has reached the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

"The place where the Zerg appeared this time is very close to our territory. If it spreads over and passes through the land, they can reach our territory in a month!"

"Xuanwu, turn on the holographic projection!" Qin Peng ordered.
