Su Wen continued explaining:
"The Chain Reaction Rate is usually described by the Neutron Multiplication Factor, k, which represents the average number of neutrons produced by fission triggered by each generation of neutrons.
So,
in certain reactor designs,
the insertion and withdrawal of Control Rods, used to absorb neutrons and regulate the Chain Reaction Rate, are important means of adjusting the reaction rate.
If the control system malfunctioned,
causing the Control Rods to fail to insert in time and prevent the chain reaction from accelerating, then even if external energy pathways, such as the cooling system or power supply, were cut off, the chain reaction within the reactor could still accelerate due to loss of control, ultimately resulting in a nuclear explosion.
But under normal circumstances,
the trigger logic and neutron controls should not have been placed too far apart.
Of course, the birth of the Origin Era brought about physical innovations in most composite spiritual-energy laws, so I cannot be completely certain about the crucial details either.
Since they set up this backup mechanism involving the rupture of Control Rods made from strong neutron-absorbing materials—cadmium, silver-indium-cadmium, or Boron Carbide—it naturally would not have been built in the same location.
In other words,
if the abandoned church in the parish where you are located contains no such controllable procedure, and the dispatch zone Sifana has long controlled is also unrelated to this matter,
then only the final and most crucial Energy Core remains—
the one where Svetlana is:
Khitrovka District."
At this moment,
Moscow's Khitrovka District was still deeply embraced by winter.
Snowflakes drifted lazily down from the leaden-gray sky from time to time, draping this historic district in a coat of white, frigid splendor.
Along both sides of the street,
old buildings lay buried beneath thick snow, while ice
