After opening the lead box containing the ore samples, Richard's expression under the mask of protective clothing became positive and he quickly became busy.
First, a sample was taken, placed in a large blue container, and the prepared alkali solution was added into it. Let it react, remove impurities, and obtain a relatively pure sample. Afterwards, a variety of liquids were added in sequence and reacted with them until a white precipitate formed in the light green liquid.
After that, Richard took another sample and put it into a large cyan container this time. He added the prepared acid solution into it and allowed it to react to remove impurities. The product is then filtered and crystallized, and a variety of liquids are added to react with it until the other party produces brown floc.
After completing the two testing experiments, Richard took a short rest and recorded a few strokes on a papyrus scroll. After thinking for a moment, he took out the third sample. Dip this third sample with alkali solution, then put it in a crucible to isolate it from the air and burn it continuously, let it melt, and observe the situation.
Then came the fourth sample. This time Richard added yellow sulfur and performed a heating reaction...
For the fifth sample, Richard injected colorless nitrogen, controlled the temperature at about 400 degrees Celsius, and allowed it to react...
For the sixth sample, Richard added jet black carbon and raised the temperature to about 1250 degrees Celsius to let it react...
The seventh copy…
eighth…
Richard kept busy and did not stop for most of the night. He was doing various test experiments with ore powder samples, and sometimes used various equipment to assist.
…
Eventually several hours passed.
Richard looked at the last sample and let out a sigh of relief when he saw the precipitate forming little by little in the light green acid liquid. He took out the precipitate, placed it on a weighing instrument and accurately weighed the mass of the precipitate. After calculating on the papyrus for a while, Richard solemnly filled in another string of data on the papyrus scroll form.
After finishing, Richard picked up the papyrus scroll form, looked at the dense data filled in it over and over again, and remained silent for a long time. Then, hidden under the mask of thick chemical protective clothing, with a tired look on his face, the corners of his mouth turned up little by little, revealing a knowing smile.
"The results are good!" Richard in the chemical protective suit murmured, his eyes brightening as he looked at the form.
Yes.
good!
very nice!
very good!
Through his series of tests, the current results have fully demonstrated that there is a rare uranium mine hidden under the hilltop where Mine No. 13 is located in the small town of Shambhala.
The reserves of this uranium mine have not yet been fully proven, and the underground trend has not yet been determined. However, the information calculated so far is enough to carry out preliminary research and manufacturing of nuclear weapons.
As for how far the research and manufacturing of nuclear weapons can be carried out, it depends not only on the reserves of uranium ore, but also on whether various problems that may be encountered can be solved.
But no matter what, this is excellent, excellent, excellent news for now!
Excellent!
This news means that he has a certain possibility, through a series of efforts, to obtain the pinnacle of technological military weapons on earth - nuclear weapons.
Richard's eyebrows couldn't help but rise.
He was not sure whether nuclear weapons could fight against the so-called ninth-level wizards in the legend, but in his opinion, it was enough to deal with the fourth-level wizards he might encounter. After all, when a nuclear weapon explodes, the core temperature reaches several million degrees Celsius, and the impact is unimaginably great. It can easily destroy a large city, and its overall power is completely better than the meteorite that destroyed the White Stone Tower.
Once he obtains such a weapon, he will have the ability and confidence to fight against any force in the current world - even the unfathomable Truth Society and the Order of God.
In this way, although he does not have the idea of unifying the world and becoming king, it can greatly reduce the impact of unexpected factors on his various research and plans, and even speed up the progress, allowing him to achieve some of his goals more efficiently. Purpose.
To give an example, for example, the Truth Society has a large amount of information about the ancient wizarding world, but it is strictly protected and does not want to be disclosed. After some planning, he stole the information in some way and read it, which greatly accelerated the progress of his own research.
However, the good times did not last long. The Truth Society found out what he was doing, broke up with him, and chased him madly, leaving him moved around and unable to continue his research.
At this time, he can find a way to gather the many high-end wizards of the Truth Society who are chasing him to a location, and then throw a nuclear weapon at them.
After a roar that shook the world, there was silence and harmony.
Without any accident, the hatred between him and the Truth Society will disappear. If he was lucky, he might be able to get more information about the ancient wizarding world from the Truth Society.
Of course, having said that, this is actually only one of the reasons why he researched and manufactured nuclear weapons, and it is a relatively small reason.
The reason for this is because he clearly realizes that although it is feasible to solve many things with absolute violence, it is not the most trouble-free - there are many tricky ways to replace it.
For example, if he is also being hunted by the Society of Truth, he does not need to spend a lot of time to finally make a nuclear bomb and throw it at it. He can find a remote place, hide in the Garden of Eden, and study with peace of mind for a year and a half to ensure that the Society of Truth is absolutely Can't find it.
He has never been a man who believes in the supremacy of force, but a researcher. The main reason why he studies and manufactures nuclear weapons is to blame the research itself.
In other words, because he studies nuclear weapons, he studies and manufactures nuclear weapons. Instead of researching and manufacturing nuclear weapons for the purpose of killing with them.
So what is the purpose of his research
It's a long story, a certain method, and it's related to his attempt to crack the current world and analyze the current world's extraordinary power system.
In other words, the reason why he studied nuclear weapons was not a sudden thought, but a plan. This is the continuation of his previous research results and the necessary path to the end of his future research.
What was he studying before
He studies many things, which are very complicated, including the blood of gods, magic pattern spells, communication crystal balls, and so on.
But in fact, these things, tracing back to their origins, have one core point - that is the foundation of all current research things - it is this foundation that derives everything.
This foundation was the theory that he summed up in the Emerald Kingdom of Semans Island shortly after embarking on the extraordinary path to initially explain the current world power system - the theory of super-heavy nuclear stable island elements.
