The entire foundation has a mirror-like silvery-white color, as if a large reflector has been installed on the surface of the moon. Even from the perspective of the terrain, it is obvious that this area is much brighter than other places.

The well-constructed foundation is deeply integrated with the lunar surface, extending several kilometers underground. Even if the area near this crater were hit by another meteorite, the foundation would not necessarily be damaged.

After the foundation was completed, Li Xingkong took out the blueprints and mentally assembled a complete model from the numerous blueprints.

The entire nuclear power plant is designed to be quite large, much larger than any nuclear power plant currently on Earth Star. According to the blueprints, once completed, its energy supply will be equivalent to two Three Gorges Dams.

Before long, the model in Li Xingkong's mind was completed. The nuclear power plant has many components, and the precision requirements for each component are different, as are the materials used.

It's unrealistic to expect to accomplish this all at once like on Earth Star. It's better to build it in multiple steps, based on its components and the requirements of each part.

Li Xingkong first opened the Space Bag and used his Divine Sense to take out many building materials from it.

Just as a painting requires sketching the outline to define the shape, Li Xingkong also plans to first build the basic framework of the entire nuclear power plant before proceeding with the detailed construction of the internal structure.

As the spell was cast, the materials that poured out of the Space Bag, before even landing, transformed into a torrent and surged into the material processing array.

After being processed by the magic array, countless raw materials were transformed into various high-strength building materials that could be used directly. However, before being shaped, they existed as liquids, flowing within the space of the magic array.

Following the design blueprints, after the location of the nuclear power plant was determined on the foundation, the flying materials, like silver dragons, rushed towards the designated location, solidifying upon landing. Like animation effects, rooms of unknown purpose rose one after another from the ground.

It's as if it grew out of the ground.

The room was quickly completed with its roof. At this point, the materials had not yet hardened, and all the rooms looked like they were made of soft rubber, appearing bouncy and quite interesting.

After completing the construction of these rooms, Li Xingkong turned his attention to the details.

Basically, each room contains a separate reactor. The entire nuclear power plant gathers the enormous energy generated by these numerous reactors and then converts it into electricity.

Building a reactor requires far more thought than building a room.

After all, as long as the quality of the room is guaranteed and Fallout does not leak out at critical moments, it's fine. But the reactor, as the direct device for generating nuclear energy, requires extremely high precision.

If constructed using ordinary methods, this thing would have to wait for the relevant manufacturer to complete its construction before being delivered to the appropriate location for installation. However, Li Xingkong's Thick Earth City Fortification Technique is different. After becoming somewhat familiar with this spell, Li Xingkong's assessment of it is that nothing is beyond its capabilities.

As long as you know the blueprints and have the materials, even using this magic to construct a computer or a car is not a problem.

It can be used for much more than just building construction; its applications are even wider.

After using a magic array to harden the constructed room, Li Xingkong waved his hand, and new materials poured out of his Space Bag.

Large quantities of steel, aluminum, and related alloying materials were ejected, and then, under the activation of the magic array, they were transformed and flowed into various rooms, forming large reactors.

Generally speaking, our current use of nuclear energy is still very crude.

First, the nuclear materials react in the reactor, releasing a large amount of heat energy, which is then removed using a well-designed cooling system.

Cooling is typically achieved using water or heavy water. The heat energy generated in the reactor is used to convert the water into steam, which is then used to drive a turbine to generate electricity.

That's why people say that modern nuclear power plants are essentially advanced versions of boiling water, because that's indeed the case.

The large amount of heat energy generated by nuclear power cannot be used directly; it can only be converted into electrical energy by boiling water.

The sheer simplicity and brutality of this method of exploitation immediately reminded Li Xingkong of Wakanda, a nation from a famous comic book, when he first encountered it.

With its advanced technology, and the fact that they fight using swords and shields, it truly feels like a blend of the primitive and the future.

Fortunately, with the popularization of cultivation, the design blueprints given to Li Xingkong were obviously not as low-level as those from the other side.

On the inner wall of the nuclear reactor, a magic array was constructed to directly extract the heat energy generated by each reactor and collect it in the central heat energy chamber. Then, another large conversion array was used to convert this heat energy into electrical energy.

After utilizing the magic array, the energy consumption during energy conversion was greatly reduced, which is the main reason why the energy supply efficiency of the nuclear power plant designed this time has been improved so much.

For Li Xingkong, both thermal energy and electrical energy could be converted into Magic Power, so the impact on him was not significant. Therefore, while constructing the structure, he was also making final adjustments to the design.

Instead of using the electrical conversion array in the central thermal energy zone, the Dao beacon of the External Core is placed here directly. After a large amount of thermal energy gathers here, it is directly transmitted to the corresponding External Core through the Spatial Beacon.

After all, every energy conversion inevitably involves energy loss, and if you want more energy, you can only try to avoid this conversion from happening.

However, this means that the nuclear power plant can only be used for External Core practice and cannot be used to generate electricity.

It can only be said that there are gains and losses. This thing was originally created to assist in cultivation. As for power supply, that was not within Li Xingkong's consideration.

As the reactor was completed, the related magic arrays inside began to be inscribed. As if the surrounding natural environment had gained an extra pair of hands, a very standard magic array was inscribed from scratch under the combined effect of magic and Divine Sense.

With the reactor structure complete, the final room is the thermal energy chamber. This room has a very special structure; its walls are much thicker than those of the other rooms. Moreover, standing inside the room feels like entering the interior of a cauldron. The entire interior wall of the room forms an Arc shape.

Li Xingkong's modified magic array was also incorporated into the design drawings, and he began to inscribe it using magic.

Li Xingkong took out a set of Space Pellet he carried with him for making External Core, took out one of them, and threw it downwards. The bead spun a few times in the air before shooting into the already constructed thermal energy chamber.

Li Xingkong's thermal energy room has another unique feature: it has no door.

It's important to understand that nuclear power plants frequently require maintenance, making door design a challenge. However, Li Xingkong is different; his Divine Sense is all-pervasive, eliminating the need for him to personally enter the plant. This is an advantage in the design of nuclear power plants.
