Three and a half days later.
The tin wood was placed in the urgently repaired Research Room No. 3 and fixed in a huge glass container.
The container is filled with nutrient solution, and the tin wood floats quietly on the surface of the liquid, rising and falling, growing slowly.
Compared with before, the restoration of the tin wood from the core state to the tree state is slightly different this time. The process is slower and more cumbersome.
Ximu's explanation for this is: Because he was hit hard twice in a row, his core original power has been seriously affected. In other words, it is very likely that he will not be able to maintain the level of an advanced life like the Immortal Species.
To avoid this actually happening, he needs to spend some time consolidating his core origins before growing again. In this way, he can make his trunk harder, absorb more energy from the void, and have a stronger ability to stabilize energy fluctuations.
To sum up, it is because I was beaten too badly before and was "annihilated" both times. This time he learned his lesson and prepared to grow obscenely before doing other things.
As for the purpose of his obscene growth, it is difficult to determine whether it is for a better job or for other purposes.
In this regard, Richard didn't bother to guess whether it was true or not. He just told Ximu seriously: There is only one chance for forgiveness, and it was used up not long ago. Therefore, you can either concentrate on work and try to "reduce your sentence" so that you can be free as soon as possible. Either continue to harbor alien intentions, and once discovered, they will be completely destroyed.
After warning Ximu like this, Richard took care of all the finishing chores and rarely had any free time.
He luxuriously gave himself a half-day vacation to adjust his physical and mental conditions to the best, and then began the final step of the nuclear weapons research and manufacturing plan - the manufacture of nuclear weapons.
…
Nuclear weapons manufacturing begins!
Four days later, it was six o'clock in the morning.
"Click, click, click!"
Richard operated a few times in front of the lighting system console in the main laboratory and reached out to press the button. Through the glass windows, you can see the crystal lights placed on the four sides of the Garden of Eden outside. They light up instantly, illuminating the entire Garden of Eden with soft light, like the rising sun, representing the beginning of a new day.
Richard looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, walked out of the main laboratory and walked towards the machining sector.
…
Machining Sector, Research Room No.1.
Richard opened the door and walked in, and saw an extra silver-white metal table on the floor of the room compared to before.
Calling it a metal table is actually a bit insulting. The device in front of me looks a little bit larger than an ordinary metal table. The "tabletop" alone is several square meters in size and is extremely strong. The sixteen "table legs" are thick and powerful, like the legs of an elephant. Each one is strong enough to withstand several tons of gravity without deforming. This is the only way. In order to install various machine tools and equipment required for nuclear weapons manufacturing.
In addition, each table leg is embedded with a level - a glass ball with a scale, half filled with colored liquid, and the liquid level is used to determine whether it is level.
In addition, each table leg is equipped with a screw jack to ensure that the height, angle and other values of the tabletop can be freely adjusted.
Richard walked in and took a look at the levels of the nuclear weapons on the table legs. Since they had been adjusted in advance, he found that they were completely in compliance with the standards.
"call-"
Taking a breath, Richard began to place various required equipment around the metal table for the next manufacturing.
…
A few hours later.
Numerous equipment was arranged around and above the operating platform. Richard walked in from outside the room holding a large metal block, placed it on the platform and began cutting it.
"Click, click, click..."
The long mechanical arm, under Richard's operation, kept making sounds as it moved its position on the metal block. The space iron ring inlaid at the end is like an indestructible blade, quickly cutting off the excess metal parts like cutting tofu, and storing these excess metal parts into an independent space without leaving any annoying garbage.
Due to Richard's proficiency, the progress of the cutting work was very fast. After a while, an oval-shaped shell was completed.
This is the shell of a future nuclear weapon, in other words, the shell of an atomic bomb.
From the looks of it, the entire shell is almost one meter high. If measured accurately, it is ninety-five centimeters. This is so that it can be easily put into the space iron ring and carried around.
The width of the shell is smaller in comparison, only about sixty centimeters.
Richard took out the measurement attack and measured it accurately. He determined that it was exactly sixty-two centimeters, which was in line with the design data on the drawing. He nodded lightly and showed a satisfied expression, but he controlled his emotions and did not get too excited.
The shell of the nuclear weapon is manufactured. This is the first and simplest process in the manufacturing of nuclear weapons. In a sense, he was just warming up with this process. There would be no big consequences if he failed, and success wouldn't mean much of a victory.
The next step is what is important.
Moreover, one is more important than the other.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Richard stepped away from the operating table, walked to the side, picked up the cup, drank the nutrient solution in one gulp, took a few deep breaths, turned around and walked out.
…
A few hours later.
Richard appeared in another functional sector of the Garden of Eden, busy in front of a furnace. What he was doing was sintering rhenium-tungsten alloy.
Rhenium-tungsten alloy, as the name suggests, is a material made of a mixture of tungsten metal and rhenium metal. Among them, he had already obtained the tungsten metal he needed, and the rhenium metal had also been obtained in sufficient quantity through Rice City and his party.
At this time, he mixed the tungsten metal and rhenium metal powders together in strict proportions, poured them into the mold, and pushed them into the furnace to prepare for heating.
The furnace in front of you, unlike ordinary furnaces, does not rely on burning fuel to generate high temperatures. Instead, it has a built-in metal coil. After the current is turned on, it is heated through the principle of electromagnetic induction vortex heating.
In a sense, this is a giant induction cooker.
Therefore, when this equipment is in use, the demand for electrical energy is very high for a short period of time. Normally, he would have had a slight headache, thinking about how to modify the energy system circuitry of Eden Garden so that other equipment would not be greatly affected when using the electromagnetic furnace.
However, now in Pompeii, there is no such trouble. Just transfer the energy stolen from the belly of the volcano and use it directly.
"Click!"
With a soft sound, Richard pressed the button on the furnace and connected the circuit. The inside of the furnace became bright and began to heat the rhenium-tungsten alloy powder.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The temperature in the furnace increased rapidly, and after a while, the metal powder in the mold emitted a dazzling white light.
