Chapter 470 Security Assessment
If you are facing an unfamiliar environment, you must proactively preset the possible situation to the worst possible state.

This has become Luo Xi’s habit.

Therefore, from the moment he entered the Earth, he never thought that he could defeat Wei Si, let alone win without any injury.

From the very beginning, he had a mentality of fighting to the death.

Engineer Luo Yingran’s plan is an ideal plan for a perfect victory, which seems to be able to solve the problem of dimension 4 once and for all and usher in the final victory.

This result is of course a happy one for everyone.

But the reality is that it can never be changed by human will.

When the actual situation has become critical to this extent, we must prepare for the worst.

So Luo Xi went to the engine area of ​​the spacecraft with only one purpose, which was to fight with the opponent.

However, normal people cannot think of his plan, nor dare to think about it, but Luo Xi is a madman who will do anything to achieve his goal. In his eyes, the result is more important than the process.

Even in order to achieve the desired result, no matter what the cost, it is worth it.

The speed of the lightweight composite armor has reached its limit. During the few minutes of the journey, Luo Xi has been checking all the information he can find on the engine and power system of the Earth spacecraft. Because it is a multi-system collaborative operation mode, the entire spacecraft uses three different systems. The main engine uses an antimatter reactor, the auxiliary power uses an ion thruster, and the emergency energy is a nuclear fission battery.

After asking the AI ​​adjutant to conduct a simple risk assessment, Luo Xi came to a conclusion.

The auxiliary power system ion thrusters and nuclear fission batteries are almost impossible to be “detonated”.

The ‘detonation’ here refers to the risk caused by external explosion.

The evaluation results of both systems are at the safety level.

However, the “antimatter reactor” used in the main engine was evaluated as “dangerous level”. That is to say, from a technical point of view, an explosion from the outside can detonate the main engine, and once detonated, the result is the core melt, producing the highest energy level annihilation explosion.
By then, the entire Earth will be engulfed by the explosion, most of it will disappear completely, and a small part will become dust in space.

Of course, Luo Xi wouldn’t be crazy enough to fight to the death with Wei Siyu.

He just needed a knife that was enough to scare Wei Si, and then put the knife on the other’s neck.

The smarter Wei Si is, the more powerful this knife will be.

In the actual situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, the ability to perish together with the enemy is the best weapon to restrain the enemy. The only problem now is how to cause an external explosion sufficient to detonate the main engine.

General arson, sabotage and explosions are ineffective.

In addition, the location of the external explosion and the destructive power caused must also be considered. If one wants to ensure one-time success, rigorous calculations must be made.

Luo Xi was calculating.

The AI ​​adjutant serves as an auxiliary and acts as a calculator.

“.Suppose, an external explosion destroyed the antimatter storage device, causing the antimatter to leak out and come into contact with the surrounding matter, what would happen?”

“According to the hypothetical results, this will trigger an exponential release of energy. The energy released by the annihilation of 1 gram of antimatter is approximately equal to 4.3 tons of TNT equivalent, which is equivalent to 3 times the Hiroshima atomic bomb. The energy released by the annihilation of only 1 gram of antimatter is enough to directly destroy the Earth!”

The AI ​​adjutant obviously didn’t notice it, and after it told him the results of the calculation, Luo Xi’s eyes lit up.

“However, this assumption is not valid. The antimatter storage device is made of the safest material and has the highest level of defense. The possibility of direct damage is zero, so please rest assured that no external attack can directly penetrate the protective shell of the main engine.”

The AI ​​adjutant was “comforting” Luo Xi, but he didn’t know that Luo Xi’s thoughts were completely different from what it thought.

“I hope for foolproof safety. Please conduct another safety assessment of the antimatter reactor of the main engine. I want to know any possible loopholes.” Luo Xi once again gave the AI ​​adjutant an order. Obviously, the AI ​​adjutant was not Wei Si, otherwise, he would understand that sometimes humans are inconsistent. They say they are for safety, but in fact, they themselves are the biggest safety hazard.

“Assessment result: safe. Currently, there are no elements that can threaten the antimatter reactor. Please rest assured that the Earth is absolutely safe at this time.”

The evaluation results of the AI ​​adjutant were obviously not what Luo Xi needed.

He wanted loopholes.

But instead of patching the loophole, they exploited it to break through the so-called absolute security defense mechanism.

“So, what if we add some assumptions?”

“Yes, please list the assumptions.”

“If some kind of explosive can bypass the protective shell of the storage device and detonate inside, will it cause an annihilation-level explosion?” Luo Xi gave a prerequisite.

The AI ​​lieutenant immediately began a safety assessment.

“This situation does pose a security threat, but we also need to evaluate the equivalent of the internal explosion. At present, explosions below 5 kilograms of TNT explosive equivalent cannot destroy the outer shell of the storage core area. This level of explosives does not exist on the Earth. Even the electromagnetic grenades in the arsenal cannot achieve this level of explosion, unless enough grenades are collected and concentrated in the storage core shell for detonation. However, the cabin that stores the grenades has extremely high authority, and there is no risk of explosive leakage.”

The evaluation results conducted by AI are still safe.

And Luo Xi has already obtained the data he wanted.

Soon, he changed the subject.

“Dual-mode power module for lightweight composite armor, project the blueprint.”

“Ok!”

“Adjutant, do you remember that I asked you before about the safety issues in case of a failure of the overload protector of the battery module?”

“Remember, if the overload protector of the armored battery module fails or fails, there will be a risk of combustion and explosion due to overload. In this case, you need to stop using it immediately, troubleshoot, repair and replace the overload protector. Do you need to retrieve the operating manual for replacing and installing the overload protector?”

“Retrieve it, let me take a look!”

Soon, an electronic manual appeared.

Luo Xi quickly read the steps for replacing and installing the overload protector. In fact, it is not particularly complicated. Many electronic devices now have the function of hot plugging. In essence, it is no different from unplugging and installing a Lego brick.

“Adjutant, please calculate how destructive the explosion would be if the overload protector was lost and the armor battery module exploded.”

This is the most critical issue for Luo Xi.

The AI ​​lieutenant immediately began to calculate and evaluate.

In less than two seconds, it feeds back the calculation and evaluation results.

“If such an extreme situation occurs, due to the special nature of the armored battery module, it will generate energy similar to that generated by a 20 kg TNT explosion, about 83 joules, enough to cause a huge disaster. But please rest assured that this is only a possibility in extreme situations. In fact, the armored dual-mode battery module is very safe. Even without an overload protector, its internal structure will prevent combustion and the resulting explosion.”

“What are the safety mechanisms inside the battery? Are there any vulnerabilities?”

“Under analysis and evaluation”
