Fission Power Unit

"This is a nuclear power unit. I never thought a nuclear power unit could be successfully miniaturized," Orbis exclaimed in awe as he saw the nuclear symbol on the power unit.

In this era, nuclear fusion power plants had already been successfully developed for civilian electricity.

However, for military power units, they were either fission power units, electric power units, or fossil fuel power units. Currently, many major powers were still testing nuclear fusion power units.

The large spacecraft and warships used by many major powers utilized fission technology for their nuclear power units. This was not only to ensure long-term energy supply for extended operations but also to effectively output the beam weapons of the warships.

But no matter how well fission was developed, its accidents were no joke. Once a fission power unit exploded, the emitted radiation could cause extreme harm to the human body.

For this reason, the soldiers responsible for the nuclear power units wore very thick isolation suits.

Fission was only used in large-scale power units. He had never heard of any smaller warships possessing fission power units.

Yet, the power unit dismantled from the captured Oni Yasha Mobile Suit was a fission power unit.

"It seems this organization is truly capable. No country has successfully miniaturized fission power units yet, but this organization has already managed to develop and equip mobile suits with miniaturized fission power units," Long Fei said, looking at the fission power unit for mobile suits before him.

Li Xiucheng and the other Gundam pilots also arrived at the scene.

"So that's how this mobile suit could instantly boost its performance and suppress us Gundams – it was all thanks to the nuclear power unit."

Li Xiucheng had been dwelling on the previous battle. Seeing the nuclear power unit, he felt somewhat relieved. He hadn't lost because his technology or the Gundam's performance was inferior, but because the opponent had activated the performance-enhancing capabilities of the nuclear power unit, temporarily suppressing him with the Oni Yasha Mobile Suit.

"Boss, we've obtained their nuclear power unit. If we take it back to research and develop a similar nuclear power unit, won't our Gundams' performance also improve? We could even activate cheat-like functions," Avina said, seeing the nuclear power unit.

"If it were possible, I would want to equip your mobile suits with nuclear power. However, this nuclear power unit uses fission technology, which is too dangerous. Once an accident occurs, nuclear radiation leakage would cause immense harm to humans. Therefore, I veto this decision."

Although a hint of disappointment flashed across the faces of the Gundam pilots, they then remembered that their boss was right. The harm caused by nuclear radiation was too great; no one could bear such a price.

"Don't be disappointed. Although I've vetoed the installation of fission power units, it doesn't mean I won't research this fission power unit for mobile suits. I will find a way to upgrade fission power units to fusion power units. Once successful, all future Gundams will be directly equipped with fusion power units."

Listening to their boss speak, many people exchanged glances. They all acknowledged their boss's talent, whether it was his skill in piloting mobile suits or his development of new technologies as a scientist. He possessed unattainable talent.

But their boss had boasted that he would develop even more advanced fusion power units, making them feel he might be overconfident. The scientists and academicians of various countries were not mediocre. No matter how talented their boss was, could he surpass the combined research efforts of a large group of scientists?

Therefore, they were inwardly skeptical of their boss's words, but no one dared to voice it. Who would dare to offend their benefactor?

If they knew that their boss, Long Fei, possessed the technology of the Solar Furnace, which was close to a perpetual motion machine, in his mind, they would probably all shout that all the scientists in the world were idiots and should all go home to farm.

In fact, if conditions allowed, Long Fei wished he could immediately develop fusion and the Solar Furnace, technologies that provided near-infinite energy.

Although Long Fei possessed the knowledge and theories for these technologies, they simply couldn't be developed in the current era.

It was like mobile phone chips. To develop a new generation of electronic nuclear energy, many related industries, manufacturing techniques, and engineers and scientists were required. Not a single one could be missing.

Even if Long Fei could develop them single-handedly, he wouldn't be able to mass-produce these technologies. Any industrial technological upgrade internationally would require a considerable amount of time.

Even if Long Fei were to release the blueprints for the fusion technology he possessed and share them internationally.

Whether it was scientists and related industrial engineers from space colonies, various Earth Spheres, Mars Spheres, or Jupiter Spheres, if they saw these blueprints.

They would be extremely embarrassed, shrugging their shoulders and saying, "This is quite awkward. Your technology is too advanced. All current international related industries must first undergo a round of industrial technological upgrades. It will take at least another 20 years before we can attempt verification."

This was because the fusion technology Long Fei currently possessed was at least 20 years more advanced than the fusion technology of this era.

A few days later, the arranged transport ships, a total of 18, had arrived, escorted by six escort ships. Two of the escort ships had previously participated in the operation to combat the Pirate Group.

These 18 transport ships were an industry under the Skywing Mercenary Group, mainly responsible for transporting merchant goods. Merchants paid to rent them. Some merchants felt that if they used their own cargo ships to transport goods and encountered pirate raids, the loss of cargo would be a significant sum, and the loss of a transport ship would be another significant sum. Upon learning that the Skywing Mercenary Group owned some transport ships, they entrusted the Skywing Mercenary Group to escort their goods and rented the transport ships, paying a rental fee.

Furthermore, according to the contract terms, if they encountered a raid and the goods were lost, they would compensate the commissioning merchant 20% of the total price of the lost goods. The rental fee for the transport ships would also be refunded to the commissioning merchant.

Many shrewd merchants, by doing a simple calculation, found that not only could they reduce costs and earn more substantial profits, but they could also minimize losses if their goods were hijacked.

Moreover, except for that one instance where they failed to escort goods due to a fierce pirate raid, the Skywing Mercenary Group had not failed in any of the entrusted escort missions. Therefore, many merchants chose to entrust their goods to the Skywing Mercenary Group for escort in this manner.

The crew members of the other four escort ships were dumbfounded as they watched the spoils of war being unloaded box after box. Although they had seen the items brought back by the six modified spacecraft a few days prior, and then heard their colleagues' bragging, they had thought their colleagues were exaggerating and boasting.

Now, seeing it with their own eyes, they felt that their colleagues weren't boasting at all; the current situation far exceeded their expectations.

Long Fei decided to use this fission power unit as a reference. Perhaps it could inspire him to develop the Minovsky-type Thermonuclear Reactor.
