Chapter 615: Chapter 273 Deep Sea Weapon_2 Chapter 615: Chapter 273 Deep Sea Weapon_2 However, because the Artificial Whale's size was so colossal, the electrical energy required to drive it was unbelievably high. Thus, although the high-energy battery group had a tremendous storage capacity, it still couldn't sustain the Artificial Whale's operations for an extended period. Therefore, it had to return to the secret pier of Misty Island every ten days for recharging.

After discovering the power storage issue with the high-energy battery group, Yan Fei suggested that Yang Qi optimize it, preferably by adding more battery groups to gain more reserve power. However, after calculating, Yang Qi found that the current high-energy battery group was the optimal ratio. Continuing to add batteries in series would not only fail to increase the overall storage capacity of the battery group but would also interfere with the previous batteries, significantly reducing the storage capacity of the added ones. This meant that the current high-energy battery group was at the maximum storage capacity attainable at the moment.

So no matter what Yan Fei did, the Artificial Whale's standby time was just ten days. Such a standby capacity meant the Artificial Whale had no issues operating near the territorial waters of Misty Island, but if it were to venture out, it wouldn't get far before becoming inoperable, to say nothing of the higher power consumption when entering combat mode.

It was precisely because of these two significant limitations that the Artificial Whale was incapable of mounting an offensive operation. But when they were backed by Misty Island and purely on the defensive, they could exhibit incredible combat power thanks to its superior performance. However, weaponizing the Artificial Whale was a future concern, as its current task was to extract Uranium from seawater.

Once Yang Qi confirmed that there were no issues with his design, he stopped controlling the Artificial Whale. He handed control back to the Artificial Whale, letting its Smart Control System take over. Under the operation of the Smart Control System, the Artificial Whale's movements remained very agile. Then they saw the Artificial Whale quickly dive into the deep sea, and under tremendous water pressure, its body didn't show any change, nor did its movements delay. Once it dived deeper than 600 meters, it lost contact with Misty Island's control center.

However, when Drones used Quantum Radar, they could still connect with the Artificial Whale through the Auxiliary Brain. But this task would be a routine in the future, and Yan Fei wouldn't always pay attention to it, so control of the Artificial Whale would be handed over to Yang Qi's laboratory. To let them figure out a way to control the Artificial Whale, Yan Fei didn't plan to intervene. Except for special circumstances, he would not use Quantum Radar to monitor it.

At twelve o'clock that night, the Artificial Whale quietly surfaced 600 meters from the sea bottom and uploaded the data of a day's operation to Yan Fei and Yang Qi's control terminals using a secret communication signal. On the first day, after working for sixteen hours, the Artificial Whale managed to extract 0.67 kilograms of Uranium from seawater. If it worked 24 hours, it would extract a kilogram of Uranium.

Seeing this data, Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Yang Qi's design was successful and could indeed extract Uranium from seawater. In the time to come, all Yan Fei had to do was complete the construction of the Super Nuclear Power Station to use the Uranium for power generation.

With this successful extraction of Uranium as an experience, Yan Fei now had more plans in mind. Sea water contains not only Uranium but also a large amount of other precious metals. Relatively speaking, Uranium is one of the rarest amongst them. In the time to come, Yan Fei would certainly create more Artificial Whales to extract gold and other precious metals from seawater. With the existing Technology Tree, modifying the Artificial Whale to extract other metals would be quite straightforward.

With Uranium at hand, especially Weapon-grade Uranium with a purity of 95-98%, Yan Fei's first thought was to use it for the Nuclear Power Station's power generation, as this was the primary goal of producing the Artificial Whales. His second thought was to manufacture Nuclear Weapons with it because the world was very unsafe, and living every day without Nuclear Weapons as a Trump Card would be fraught with anxiety.

To achieve this goal, Yan Fei forcibly interrupted Yang Qi's research plans, directing Yang Qi to begin designing Manufacturing processes for Nuclear Weapons. As an all-round Scientist, Yang Qi was very familiar with the working principles of Nuclear Weapons. On Yan Fei's request, Yang Qi temporarily put aside other scientific projects and designed a very mature Production process in a short period. Then, using a Mind control device connected to the Auxiliary Brain, he began Technology Analysis on the manufacturing process of Nuclear Weapons.

In this process, something disappointing happened to Yan Fei. Despite Yang Qi designing a mature technology for Nuclear Weapon production and entering it into the Technology Analysis System, the system surprisingly did not conduct any calculations on Yang Qi's production processes. On the Technology Tree, there was only a branch for nuclear technology, and no branch for Nuclear Weapons.

Since the Technology Analysis System couldn't analyze the production process for Nuclear Weapons, it couldn't store the manufacturing process in the Auxiliary Brain's Database. Without the production process in the Auxiliary Brain, it couldn't be imported into the mini-production workshop. Even with Weapon-grade Uranium available, without the manufacturing process, the Production Workshop would be unable to produce Nuclear Weapons.
