    Man if you ever get the chance to see a wolf irl take it! At first you think it’s a husky, but as it comes out of the woods into the clearing you can see it’s the size of it, the size of the jaw. Built for snapping tibias. A predator’s gaze falls upon you. And you realize it’s definitely not a dog. All those half remembered, ancient tales of wolves suddenly being made truth. Whom will be hunter, and who will be hunted. You crouch and grasp at the forest floor. A rock, a stick, anything. It turns to go and so do you, realizing too late it’s buddy was in the woods to your back. It stops, looks over it’s shoulder once more, and asks for about tree fiddy.










  • The atoms of plutonium or whatever break down into other atoms. This process is called fission. When it breaks down it also lets neutrons loose, which then attach to other plutonium atome, destabilizing it, then the next one and so on in a chain reaction that produces heat. That heat is transferred to water, which the eventually powers steam turbines. Electricity does not come directly from the rods.

    This whole process is regulated via neutrons(or maybe protons, not 100% on that). Put the rods of plutonium closer together, get more fission, more heat. I think they use graphene to regulate things too.
