The rise of nanometers

June 24th.

In the calm and hot Gulf of Mexico.

Song Yaomin once again led the submarine team and quietly entered the sea area and found a suitable seabed rock formation. About 274 meters below the rock formation was an underground river.

This area was chosen because the rock formations are moderately thick and it is only 124 kilometers away from the Texas coastline, so the location is just right.

After the submarine was berthed, it began to work on the seabed, and at the same time secretly arranged a submarine signal transfer station.

This signal transfer station uses the newly developed composite nuclear decay battery, which is also a common power source for various submarines and submarine unmanned equipment.

Composite nuclear decay batteries are different from common nuclear batteries. The raw material of this nuclear battery is carbon 14, which is mainly derived from waste graphite in nuclear fission reactors.

All major nuclear fission reactors in the country need to use graphite, and these graphites need to be replaced at regular intervals. The replaced graphite has been exposed to neutrons from nuclear fission for a long time, and a lot of carbon elements have been converted into carbon 14.

In the past, this kind of waste graphite was very difficult to process and could only be piled up in lead boxes and then stored in deserted areas.

However, since the Suiren system's element separation technology was developed, carbon-14 is no longer a dangerous substance, but has become a precious resource.

There are tens of thousands of tons of waste graphite in the country, and after the recent takeover of the Dongying Nuclear Power Plant, nearly 270,000 tons of waste graphite have been obtained.

The Suiren System extracts high-purity carbon-14 from these waste graphites, and then reprocesses the graphite without radioactive substances and sends it back to the nuclear power plant for recycling.

High-purity carbon 14 is mixed with several metals to make a nuclear decay core, which is coated multiple times with carbon nanometers and silicon nanometers.

The short-range radiation of carbon 14 itself will illuminate the carbon nanolayer and generate a certain amount of electrical energy.

At the same time, because the nuclear decay process of carbon 14 will release heat, this heat can be combined to generate a large amount of electricity through the thermoelectric power generation module and the molten salt energy storage power generation system.

This type of nuclear battery, with the same volume and mass, can generate about 1.7 to 1.8 times more power than a plutonium nuclear decay battery.

Especially when working in the sea, if the power generation exceeds the usage, the heat can be released into the surrounding seawater and underground water through the molten salt system to ensure that the heat of the nuclear battery will not accumulate inside.

It is precisely because of this high-performance and cheap nuclear battery that Suiren and China can use nuclear batteries in large quantities.

After all, plutonium nuclear batteries are expensive to build, mainly because plutonium is so expensive and can only be obtained through uranium decay.

Carbon-14 can be extracted from the graphite waste of the reactor, and the production volume is many times higher than that of plutonium.

At present, the cost of making a carbon-14 decay core is about 8,500 yuan per kilogram. Compared with plutonium decay batteries, which often cost hundreds of millions, the price difference between the two is several orders of magnitude.

If this kind of battery is used in the civilian field, it has great potential. If it were not for the risk of nuclear leakage in nuclear decay batteries, it would have been vigorously promoted in China.

Currently, three experimental decay reactors have been established in several underground bases, using some radioactive materials as raw materials for decay reactors.

To establish an undersea signal station, a nuclear decay battery is indispensable, a power source that can be used for a long time and is relatively concealed.

The signal station arranged by Song Yaomin can receive data from the underground river sonar detection system, and then transmit the data to communication satellites in outer space through a laser communicator.

The laser communicator is installed in a buoy and can float to the sea surface regularly to emit lasers into outer space to exchange information.

Compared with radio wave communications, which are easily detected, laser communications are very concealed and confidential and are difficult to be captured by electronic monitoring systems.

Of course, submarine signal stations can also be connected through optical fibers, or directly connected through submarines to achieve data exchange.

In Chu Xuan's plan, the laying of submarine fiber optic networks may be at risk of being discovered, and if one is discovered, it may even cause the entire area to be uprooted.

Therefore, they do not plan to deploy submarine optical fibers and use a single-line optical fiber system. Even if one of the signal stations is discovered, other signal stations will not be implicated.

Unknowingly.

The deep wells on the seabed have been drilled and sealed. The new deep wells have been transformed into two wells, one large and one small. The large well is used for the entry and exit of submarines, and the small well is used for placing optical fiber lines.

As the first submarine entered the deep well, the fiber optic lines began to extend little by little toward the northwest North American land, and then there was still one fiber optic connector every 50 kilometers.

It only took about 184 hours for the submersible to reach the underground river near Austin.

At this time, Song Yaomin also came to the control cabin and watched the staff carefully control the submersible, using sonar to detect the surrounding underground geological structures while slowly approaching the underground base.

Soon the submersible arrived at the closest location to the base, which was located in the underground river diagonally below the underground base. The distance between the submersible and the base was only about 1347 to 1503 meters.

Song Yaomin ordered: "Try to monitor."

"OK."

The staff started the submersible's micro-drilling manipulator, inserted the passive sonar receiver into the micro-drilling, and collected sound waves through the solid conduction of the rock formation.

In an instant, the subtle sounds in the underground base were transmitted back to the data storage system inside the submarine.

Because the distance is too close, even if you speak in a low voice, it is difficult to escape the leakage of the sound.

Through a rough voiceprint data analysis system, some specific conditions of this underground base were quickly discovered.

Similar to the situation analyzed before, this is a biochemical research base, mainly conducting human brain wave analysis.

At this time, this base is conducting experiments on living subjects, and they are inhumane experiments. From the wailing sounds of those experimental subjects, you can know the evil and cruelty involved.

Song Yaomin was not surprised at all that Noah would do such a thing. This was just their basic operation.

At that time, they deliberately concealed the truth and allowed Meren students to participate in the so-called syphilis vaccine research. As a result, syphilis was directly injected into these students.

These are only the ones that have been exposed, and there are definitely many more similar incidents that have not been exposed and have had their evidence destroyed and covered up.

But regarding the research projects of this scientific research base, Song Yaomin became a little serious: "Brain wave laboratory? Mind control? These guys are really not fuel-efficient."

Recording this information, he continued to direct the staff and began to launch the second submarine.

The speed of the second submarine is faster. After all, the first section of the road is the same. With the pathfinding data of the first submarine, it naturally seems familiar.

At about 274 kilometers away, the second submersible chose another underground river. Song Yaomin wanted to find out about various underground bases near Texas.

In addition, you can also follow the underground river and continue northward to the deep interior of North America to achieve blind-angle monitoring of its interior.

Once this system is installed, many secrets of the Noah Society will be controlled by the Intelligence Department.

Just think about it and you will understand how terrifying it is. The current base camps of the Noah Society are set up deep underground in the Rocky Mountains and the Central Plateau.

Just being eavesdropped on the content of a strategy meeting would have disastrous consequences, and it would be easy to fall into passivity and traps.

And with this kind of monitoring, they would probably have a hard time detecting the presence of sonar detectors in the underground river even if they tried their best.

If used a little, it can also make them suspicious and suspicious of each other.

After all, in such a top-secret meeting, there were only a dozen or so people present. After the meeting content was leaked, they would immediately suspect that there was an insider betraying them. This would sow the seeds of distrust in the board of directors of the Noah Society. Create rifts and barriers.
