Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 524
"Lingkui, can the long-distance detection ability of your mind force sense the intensity of the radiation in the environment?" Qi Lin asked suddenly.

"I can detect a little, what's the matter?" Ling Kui gave Qi Lin a puzzled look.

"Grind your gun before the battle, and you will be happy if you are unhappy." Qi Lin said.

Now that the two have lost their mechs, they have to walk through the No. [-] tunnel. With Qi Lin's current ability as a two-level evolutionary, it is very likely that not only will he not be able to help Ling Kui, but it may also drag her back. Therefore, Qi Lin must think Ways to improve your strength in a short period of time.

According to the original plan, the improvement of strength should be carried out at the No. [-] energy reactor, but the appearance of Cheng Mu and Lingkui completely disrupted Qi Lin's plan, causing him to be forced to leave without being able to obtain radiation energy. industrial area.

"...Although I don't know what you want to do, I can try it, but the farthest range of my mind detection is only 300 meters, and I don't know if I can find what you are looking for within a range of 300 meters." After finishing speaking, Ling Kui closed her eyes, and Qi Lin only felt a circle of invisible ripples centered on her, quickly spreading away.

"I found it. The radiation reaction is the strongest at the position 140 meters in front of me." Aoi suddenly opened her eyes and said.

"140 meters straight ahead?" Qi Lin hurried to the window, cleaned the dusty and stained window, and looked straight ahead.

At 140 meters, there is just a column to support the dome of the underground space. This is a concrete load-bearing column with a diameter of nearly [-] meters. This business belongs to a layman, but anyone with a little common sense can see that the metal plates arranged neatly like blades have only one purpose.

That is cooling.

This is a hollow load-bearing column. Inside this load-bearing column, there should be a small emergency reactor hidden!

What Qi Lin needs is the kind of "spent fuel" that has been reacted in the reactor. A brand new fuel rod itself does not have much radiation, because the uranium 235 in it is in a very stable state. The critical point of nuclear fission has not been reached.

But in the reactor, when the neutron source is ignited, the neutrons will bombard the nucleus of the uranium atom at a very high speed, thereby triggering fission, and the large amount of heat generated by the fission chain reaction is the source of energy for the nuclear power plant.

During the fission process, not only will a large amount of heat be released, but also a large number of uranium-235 fission daughters with a very short half-life will be generated, and these fission daughters will emit neutrons and gamma rays to the surroundings. The origin of radiation.

What the energy-gathering vortex can absorb is the energy in this form of radiation—in fact, the energy used by human nuclear reactors is just the by-product heat produced by the fission reaction.

Qi Lin himself has no way to bombard the uranium nuclei in the fuel rods, so he has only two ways to obtain enough radiation energy - one is to accelerate the fission of uranium ore through the "catalyst" secreted by energy-eating insects; The second is to use man-made nuclear waste and radiation pollution left over from wars.

The radiation-contaminated areas are basically on the surface. In the shelter, if Qi Lin wants to obtain a large amount of radiation, the only way to find waste from the nuclear power plant is.

Although the radiation energy carried in the spent fuel rods is not comparable to pure energy crystallization, the energy gap between the second level to the third level and the fourth level to the fifth level is also very different. According to Qi Lin's own estimation, Good things like pure energy crystals, it is estimated that only one or two of them can make him break through the current level.

"We have to find a way to get to that load-bearing column." Qi Lin checked his equipment. Except for a Tokarev pistol and a mutilated military dagger, he has no weapons around him now. As for Ling Kui, She had just regained a little mental strength and used it all to search for the location of the radiation source.

The current combat effectiveness of the two can be said to be at the lowest level since they entered Vault 909.

The "Nengang No. 1 machine" on the street has been completely scrapped. Although Qi Lin and Lingkui have left the machine, the opponent's sniper seems to be worried that Qi Lin will run back into the mecha again. A few minutes later, dozens of shots were fired at the mecha from all angles, completely destroying the important parts and weapon systems of the mecha.

The thick smoke at the crossroads has gradually thinned out. Behind the smoke, it can be seen that several groups of soldiers are trotting towards this side. If Qi Lin wants to go to the load-bearing column, he must pass through the 20-meter-wide road in front of him. street.

"Lingkui, you're hiding here. I'll come back as soon as I go... If I don't come back within 10 minutes, you can find a way to get out." After Qi Lin finished speaking, he directly opened the door and rushed out. .

Now that the smoke from the explosion has not completely dissipated, Qi Lin must seize every second——

"Thumbs up!!"

Not long after Qi Lin rushed out, the soldiers found him through the smoke. Suddenly, there was a loud gunshot, and countless bullets pierced through the smoke and came straight to Qi Lin.

Even if the field of view is blocked, there are too many people and guns on the opposite side, and the street is so wide, even if you sweep randomly, there will always be a few bullets that will collide with Qi Lin.

Qi Lin scrambled to the back of the abandoned mecha, and the flying bullets kept hitting the mecha, making crisp sounds—at this distance, Qi Lin's only pistol could not cause any damage to those soldiers. Any threats can only be beaten blindly.

All the weapons on the mecha have been destroyed by the anti-material sniper rifle. The only thing to be thankful for is that there is no sniper in the direction where Qi Lin is hiding, otherwise, he would really be besieged on all sides.

The mecha stopped in the middle of the street, about ten meters away from the opposite side of the street, but it was completely blocked by the opponent's firepower at this distance of ten meters. No matter how fast the speed is, it will inevitably be smashed into a sieve when passing through the ten-meter space.

Qi Lin's target kept scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed that not far behind the mecha, there was a sewage ditch across the street!
The surface of the sewage ditch is covered with a metal fence-like cover, extending from the block here to the opposite side, and the width of the sewage ditch is just enough to accommodate a person who is not very burly.

Qi Lin ran over immediately, pried up a section of the cover with a dagger, and then burrowed into the sewage ditch——

It is full of black silt and muddy sewage, and there are all kinds of domestic garbage mixed in the silt, not to mention the smell. However, this disgusting sewage ditch is made by those soldiers. In the blind spot of shooting, no one's bullet can turn, and no one can hit Qi Lin who is crawling in the sewage ditch.
