After retreating to a certain distance, the team members dispersed and walked in twos and threes to the temporary camp set up at the foot of the mountain, where they began to rest and wait for the next work.
Didak did not leave, but watched a new group of people come up.
These people were all wearing hard armor and carrying heavy iron shields, as if they were moving like an iron lump.
The other party looked at Didak and asked Didak about the demolition. He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Didak say that all the alchemy items installed were effective, but he did not completely relax his vigilance and walked towards the demolition site with his lips pursed.
Didak looked at each other and knew very clearly that these people had to find the remains of all the alchemy tools before they could complete their work and notify the next team to enter.
Only in this way can we avoid accidentally delaying the effectiveness of any alchemy item and killing a large number of people.
Correspondingly, the other party's job is obviously the most dangerous. Even if the other party is dressed like an iron knot, most of it is just psychological comfort. According to his estimation, if these things were doubled in thickness, they would not be of much use in front of large alchemy tools. Once something happens, there will be no bones left.
However, because of this, the other party can get a very high salary that is more than five times that of ordinary places. If he is killed unfortunately, he will also receive high compensation.
The highly paid members of the disaster relief team spent more than half an hour finally completing their work and finding all the wreckage. After confirming with Didak, they left the site panting.
Afterwards, the third working team appeared.
Everyone on the other side was carrying a bucket, which contained a pungent light blue liquid. They didn't know what it was, so they sprayed it on the ore.
In Didak's opinion, the work these people do is the strangest and most meaningless. The only use may be to reduce some dust. He has repeatedly told Captain Sean that these people can be removed or supplemented with his squad.
But Captain Sean said that this was specially arranged by the mine owner Waltz, and no one could touch it.
After the strange third team had been busy for several hours, spilling a large amount of strange liquid all over the work site and left, the fourth team finally arrived belatedly.
The fourth team is the team with the largest number of people in the entire mine. It has hired more than a thousand people so far and is managed by Hua Wen and another team leader.
The job these people do is very simple, that is, to process the ore at the most basic level, load it on a carriage, and transport it to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, a factory has gradually taken shape, where the ore will be processed for a second time by hired workers - through screening, classification, cutting, and then transported to distant places for sale.
As far as Didak knows, this is almost the entire working process of Mine No. 13.
In a sense, this workflow is ten times more efficient than other traditional mining methods in other mines, which is astonishingly high.
However, he doesn't care too much about this. What he cares most about is the first step of the process - the demolition work under his command.
Every time he did demolition work, he could experience the beauty of destroying everything with power, and felt that his whole body reached the peak of pleasure. Of course, he told no one this secret, not even his friend Bo Fei, who had become the group leader.
What worries him a bit is that at the current rate of mining, the whole mountain will be leveled. It seems that it is really not a joke of the mine owner Waltz. Given time, it will definitely come true, so how long can he continue to do the same job
I really want to keep doing it.
In the darkness that fell unknowingly, in the camp at the mine at the foot of the mountain, Didak turned over and fell asleep with this thought in mind.
…
As Didak fell asleep, something more secret began to take place.
In the ore processing plant not far away from the mountain, in a secret factory building, a very small number of special ores are selected and processed multiple times with more precision. It was ground into particles, put into sealed lead boxes, and quietly transported by horse-drawn carriage to an unknown place in the distance.
…
Blue Lake Manor, study room.
Richard appeared here, but did not stop and quickly entered the Garden of Eden.
After entering the Garden of Eden, Richard went to the dangerous functional sector and walked into the underground building with the highest protection level.
In the completely closed laboratory, he took out several heavy lead boxes from the space iron ring. The lead boxes contained some special ore powder samples mined and transported from the small town of Shambhala—actually radioactive ore powder samples.
The reason why he brought the specimen to the underground building was also very simple, that is, to test its composition and determine what it contained.
This matter should have been done in more than ten days, but he abruptly postponed it until today. This is not because he has procrastination, but simply because only in this way can he understand some information more comprehensively.
It is true that there are radioactive ores in the mines of Mine No. 13. It is the radioactive materials that created the demonized creatures and attracted Joseph. So a series of things happened, which eventually led him step by step to discover this precious resource and the raw material that could make nuclear weapons.
But be clear, it is only possible to create nuclear weapons.
possible!
Not all radioactive ores can make nuclear weapons, only some of them, such as ores containing uranium-235 and plutonium-239, can.
There are many radioactive ores containing these two elements, such as crystalline uranium ore, pitchblende, uranium black ore, titanium uranium ore, silicon uranium ore, copper uranium mica ore, vanadium uranium ore, and vanadium uranium ore. wait.
But there are also some radioactive ores that do not contain these two elements, such as yttrium niobium ore, xenotime, beryllium yttrium ore, yttrium niobium ore, niobium calcium ore, complex rare gold ore, pyrochlore ore, and easily decomposed Stone ore, thorium ore, allanite ore, etc.!
Therefore, it is necessary to determine the specific type of radioactive ore in the mine before we can determine whether we can proceed to the next step—research and manufacture nuclear weapons.
In fact, even if it is determined that the radioactive ore contains uranium 235 and plutonium 239, there is no 100% guarantee of moving to the next step.
Because the amount of ore required to research and manufacture nuclear weapons is very large, it must be ensured that a large part of the entire ore vein is similar qualified ore.
This is just like gambling on a stone. If you cut it with a knife, it will be full of green, as if you got a large piece of jade. But as I continued to cut, I found that only one corner of the edge was green, and the rest was empty, and I could only feel joy in vain.
Therefore, he waited until now and had some ore samples extracted from the shallow veins for testing.
Only in this way can the test results be comprehensive.
So, what do the full results look like? Does it contain uranium-235 and plutonium-239
Thinking of this, Richard started to move.
"Swish, swish!"
Richard put on his chemical protective suit.
"boom!"
Richard opened the lead box containing the ore powder sample.
