When a person is completely immersed in their work, they lose track of time.
Xu Zhengyang worked tirelessly for a full eighteen hours.
Only after finishing all the design blueprints did he stretch and, with a satisfied expression, instruct Da Bai, "Restart the production line according to the order I marked!
Once the new robots have fully taken over all the tasks in the shelter, bring back all the overlapping-function robots for disassembly and recycling to avoid wasting the shelter's resources."
"Understood, Master."
Da Bai faithfully executed Xu Zhengyang's orders.
*Xu Zhengyang slept for a full twelve hours to replenish his energy! The next morning.
After getting up, Xu Zhengyang enjoyed the breakfast prepared by Da Bai while opening his task list to check the latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Power IV (In Progress)]
[As your development progresses, your shelter has grown larger, and the demand for electricity has skyrocketed.
To ensure the normal development of the shelter, please upgrade the power system again!]
[Task Objective: Expand the power generation capacity of your shelter to 1000 megawatt-hours]
[Task Reward: Intermediate Mental Awakening Serum]
Xu Zhengyang flipped through the task log.
Upon comparison, he found that this time's power upgrade task target had increased tenfold compared to the last time! One thousand megawatt-hours.
That means the power generation must reach one million kilowatt-hours per hour!
Thinking of this.
Xu Zhengyang nodded and said, "It seems it's time to build a nuclear power plant near the shelter…"
Before the apocalypse.
Xu Zhengyang had once used the Blood Plague Serum to save a high-ranking official's precious grandson, and in return, he received a large stack of top-secret documents.
These documents not only contained mass production plans for various high-performance new materials but also included a design plan for a "Fourth Generation High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Nuclear Power Plant"! "Let's build it!"
Xu Zhengyang said.
He projected the electronic version of the Fourth Generation High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Nuclear Power Plant design plan onto his contact lenses to review the construction standards and equipment requirements for the nuclear power plant.
Human technological development is essentially just finding different ways to boil water.
Though this statement may sound trivial, it is indeed a fact.
Even the most advanced nuclear power plants today first convert the thermal energy emitted by radioactive materials into kinetic energy, which then drives turbines to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy.
For this reason.
The construction of a nuclear power plant was not as grand as Xu Zhengyang had imagined.
With the efficiency of the Engineering Robots, as long as the building materials were sufficient, the buildings they constructed would definitely be much more standardized than those built by humans! Although Xu Zhengyang's physical strength had reached 20 points and he had obtained a directional skill called Cosmic Adaptation, general radiation would not harm his body.
But after all, the shelter was his home.
So after reviewing the Fourth Generation High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Nuclear Power Plant design plan, he made some modifications to enhance the safety of the nuclear power plant.
After completing these tasks.
Xu Zhengyang handed the new construction blueprints to Da Bai, instructing him, "Da Bai, build a nuclear power plant on the surface according to these standards!"
"Understood, Master."
Da Bai replied, immediately operating various Engineering Robots to begin work! At that moment.
Xu Zhengyang asked Da Bai, "Da Bai, help me filter and see where I can find a turbine generator set with a capacity of one thousand megawatt-hours."
A turbine is an external combustion rotary machine that converts steam thermal energy into mechanical work.
Once steam enters the turbine.
It passes through a series of circularly arranged nozzles and moving blades, converting the steam's thermal energy into mechanical energy that rotates the turbine rotor.
To save space and for better maintenance management.
Xu Zhengyang did not want to use multiple small turbines to reach the one thousand megawatt-hours of power generation; he wanted to achieve it all at once! Fortunately, Da Bai did not disappoint him.
As soon as Xu Zhengyang finished speaking.
Da Bai sent a navigation message to Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses, saying, "Before the apocalypse, this was the largest turbine manufacturing plant in our country. If you go here, you should be able to find one."
"Great!"
Xu Zhengyang agreed and immediately took out the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha from his Dimensional Space Pocket, piloting it towards the southeastern coastal area!
*Before the apocalypse arrived.
Haiyun Heavy Machinery Processing Plant was somewhat famous worldwide!
Because of this.
Every day, a massive number of orders flew into Haiyun Heavy Machinery Processing Plant like snowflakes, and Haiyun could even selectively take on the most profitable orders! Before the apocalypse.
If Xu Zhengyang wanted to buy a one thousand megawatt-hour turbine set through regular channels, he probably wouldn't even meet the threshold of Haiyun.
But now.
As long as Xu Zhengyang cleans out the Blood Plague monsters inside Haiyun Heavy Machinery Processing Plant, he would be free to use all the equipment in their warehouse!
Since most of Haiyun Heavy Machinery Processing Plant's orders were for export.
To facilitate this.
The plant was also located near the port.
Because of this.
After the apocalypse arrived, the plant was quickly overrun by the densely packed Blood Plague monsters! When Xu Zhengyang piloted the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha in shuttle form over Haiyun Heavy Machinery Processing Plant.
He suddenly noticed that the monsters occupying the plant were somewhat different! So Xu Zhengyang immediately hovered in the air, using the shadow glasses' 12X zoom to enlarge his view and employed the Detection skill on the monsters below.
[Explosive Frog]
[Attributes]
(Strength: 1 / Agility: 10 / Intelligence: 1 / Spirit: 1 / Stamina: 1)
[Skills]
(Charged Leap: The Explosive Frog can leap at a speed of 200 meters per second, with a maximum jump distance of one kilometer)
(Self-Destruct: The Explosive Frog has a meat sac filled with acidic liquid in its belly.
When the Explosive Frog approaches a target, it triggers an unstable chemical reaction inside, causing itself to explode and spray strong acid outward!) [Special Note: The Explosive Frog is extremely fast but very fragile and sensitive; it will self-destruct immediately if attacked or stimulated]
"Explosive Frog?"
Seeing the densely packed Explosive Frogs in Haiyun Heavy Machinery Processing Plant, Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine! With Xu Zhengyang's current weapons and equipment, dealing with these Explosive Frogs would not be difficult.
But he was worried that as soon as he made a move.
The Explosive Frogs in Haiyun Heavy Machinery Processing Plant would be stimulated to self-destruct, damaging the turbines in the warehouse.
If that happened.
Then this trip would be in vain…
