Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty First
"Lingkui, can your mental power's long-distance exploration ability sense the intensity of radiation in the environment?" Qi Lin asked suddenly.
"What's wrong if I can find a little?" Lingkui glanced at Qi Lin in confusion.
"If you don't want to sharpen your guns in the face of battle, you will lose your energy even if you don't feel happy." Qi Lin said.
Now that the two have lost their mechas, they must walk through Tunnel Zero. With Qi Lin's current two-level evolutionist ability, it is likely that not only will it not be able to become the help of Yan Kui, but it may also drag her back. Therefore, Qi Lin must find a way to improve his strength in a short period of time.
According to the original plan, the improvement of strength should be carried out in the No. 1 Energy Reactor, but the appearance of Cheng Mu and Ling Kui completely disrupted Qi Lin's plan, resulting in him being forced to leave the industrial area without obtaining radiated energy.
"...Although I don't know what you are going to do, I can try it, but my mind exploration range is only three hundred meters at the farthest, and I don't know if I can find what you are looking for within the three hundred meters." After saying that, Lingkui closed her eyes, and Qi Lin felt a circle of invisible ripples spreading rapidly with her as the center.
"I found it. At a location 140 meters in front of me, the radiation reaction there was the strongest." Yan Kui suddenly opened her eyes and said.
"One hundred and forty meters ahead?" Qi Lin hurried to the window, wiped the dusty and stained window, and looked straight ahead.
One hundred and forty meters, there is a column used to support the dome of the underground space. This is a concrete load-bearing column with a diameter of nearly 100 meters. There are a large number of metal components on the surface of the load-bearing column. Although Qi Lin is completely a layman in the machinery and energy industry, as long as he has a little common sense, he can see that the metal plates arranged neatly like blades have only one function.
That is heat dissipation.
This is a hollow load-bearing column. In 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 in the reactor reaction. A brand new fuel rod does not have much radiation, because the uranium 235 in it is in a very stable state and is far from reaching the critical point of nuclear fission.
However, in the reactor, when the neutron source is ignited, the neutron will bombard the nucleus of the uranium atom at a very high speed, thereby causing fission. The large amount of heat generated by the chain reaction of fission is the source of energy of the nuclear power plant.
During the fission process, not only will a large amount of heat be released, but a large number of uranium 235 fission inosomes with extremely short half-life will be generated. These fission inosomes will emit neutrons and gamma rays to the surroundings, which is the origin of nuclear radiation.
What the energy-concentrating vortex can absorb is this form of radiation - in fact, the energy used by human nuclear reactors is just the by-product heat generated by fission reactions.
Qi Lin himself has no way to bombard the uranium nucleus in the fuel rod, so he only has two ways to obtain enough radiation energy - one is to accelerate fission of the uranium mine through the "catalyst" secreted by the energy-eating insect; the other is to use artificial nuclear waste and radiation pollution left over from the war.
The radiation-contaminated areas are basically on the surface. In the shelter, Qi Lin had no choice but to find waste from nuclear power plants.
Although the radiation energy carried in the spent fuel rod is not as good as pure energy crystallization, the energy gap required between level 2 and level 3 and level 4 and level 5 is also very different. According to Qi Lin's own estimate, good things like pure energy crystallization are now estimated to be able to break through his current level with just one or two.
"I have to find a way to go to the load-bearing pillar." Qi Lin checked the equipment. Except for a Tokarev pistol and a broken military dagger, he had no weapons around him now. As for Yan Kui, she had just recovered a little mental power and used it to search the location of the radiation source.
The current combat effectiveness of the two people can be said to be at the lowest level when they entered the shelter No. 909.
The "Energy Angel 3" on the street has been completely scrapped. Although Qi Lin and Ling Kui have left the body, the other sniper seemed to be worried that Qi Lin would run back to the mecha. After just one minute, he blasted dozens of guns at the mecha from all angles, destroying the important parts and weapon systems of the mecha thoroughly.
The thick smoke at the intersection has gradually become thinner, and it can be seen that several teams of soldiers are jogging and approaching here behind the smoke. If Qi Lin wants to go to the load-bearing pillar, he must pass through the street more than 20 meters wide in front of him.
"Lingkui, just hide here, I'll go back... If I don't come back within twenty minutes, you can find a way to get out of here." After Qi Lin said that, he directly knocked open the door and rushed out.
Now that the smoke produced by the explosion has not completely disappeared, Qi Lin must seize every second—
"Tutututututututututututu!!"
Not long after Qi Lin rushed out, the soldiers had already discovered his traces through the smoke. Suddenly, gunfire sounded loudly, and countless bullets penetrated the smoke and rushed straight to Qi Lin.
Even if the vision is blocked, it cannot withstand the number of people and guns on the opposite side, and the street is so wide. Even if you sweep it randomly, there will always be a few bullets that will collide with Qi Lin.
Qi Lin rolled and crawled behind the abandoned mecha, and the flying bullets kept hitting the mecha, making a crisp sound - at this distance, Qi Lin's only pistol could not pose any threat to the soldiers, and could only be beaten blindly.
All the weapons on the mecha have been destroyed by anti-equipment sniper rifles. The only thing that is thankful is that there is no sniper in the direction where Qi Lin is hiding, otherwise he would be really entangled.
The mecha was parked in the middle of the street, about ten meters away from the opposite side of the street, but this ten meters distance had been completely blocked by the opponent with firepower. The bullets were pouring out like money. Even if Qi Lin was fast, he would inevitably be beaten into a sieve when passing through this ten meters of space.
Qi Lin's target kept scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed that there was a sewage ditch crossing the street not far behind the mecha!
The surface of the sewage drainage ditch is covered with metal fence-like covers, extending from the block here to the opposite side, and the width of the sewage drainage ditch is just enough to accommodate a person with a not-so-burly figure.
Qi Lin immediately ran over, pried up a piece of cover with a dagger, and then drilled into the sewage ditch-
There was black silt and turbid sewage everywhere, and there were all kinds of domestic waste mixed in the silt, not to mention the smell, but this disgusting sewage ditch was a dead corner for the soldiers to shoot. No one's bullets could turn, and no one could hit Qi Lin crawling in the sewage ditch.
