Bikini Basin, World Peace Council Institute.
Baili Qingfeng arrived here early. After saying hello to Haisen who came to greet him, the two of them walked straight towards the factory.
"Uranium hexafluoride is a highly toxic substance. You need to be particularly careful when refining it. I don't want any accidents to happen to any of you."
Baili Qingfeng said.
Hessen had a confident smile on his face: "We have gone through a lot of data simulations for the preparation of uranium hexafluoride, and the success rate is 99.996%. We are currently moving this number towards 10%." Ninety-nine point ninety-nine perfection, striving to minimize all risks.”
"I'm very happy that you have such confidence. First prepare a sufficient amount of uranium hexafluoride. As soon as the centrifuge arrives, we will be able to obtain weapons-grade enriched uranium."
"In fact, our first batch of centrifuges has been delivered, but because the quantity is too small, and because enough uranium hexafluoride has not been prepared, uranium enrichment is not yet possible."
Haisen led Baili Qingfeng towards the huge factory, and at the same time introduced their work progress.
"The centrifuge has arrived?"
"Yes, there are only the first batch of thirty units. These centrifuges are all top-notch equipment from the Glorious Empire. Although we in Shia have become independent from the Glorious Empire, many places are still affected by the Glorious Empire, and we want to purchase these equipment. The first is the Glorious Empire, of course... In terms of the advanced equipment, the Glorious Empire may be worse than the Golden Eagle Empire, but the Golden Eagle Empire is far away in Lone Star Continent, and it is not easy for us to purchase the most advanced equipment from them. matter."
Haison said regretfully.
The Golden Eagle Empire is the largest technological power in the world.
This country occupies almost the entire Lone Star Continent, with a land area of an astonishing 31.84 million square kilometers. In addition, this country has an open mind and strives to accommodate all talents and cultures, making the country's scientific and technological level. Soaring development.
If it were not for the threat of humanoids that contained most of the power of the Golden Eagle Empire, I am afraid that within fifty years, this country would have surpassed the other five super empires and become the only superpower in the world.
"How is the performance of the Shining Empire centrifuge?"
"These are top-notch equipment produced by Nabod, the largest sophisticated industrial group in the Radiant Empire. They have the advantages of high vacuum, high Mach, high speed, high corrosion, long life, etc. In terms of the most important speed parameter, these centrifuges The maximum speed of the machine can reach 16,000 revolutions per second, and the stability is excellent, but... it consumes a lot of power. In addition, we need at least 3,000 centrifuges to officially start working on the prepared uranium hexafluoride. concentrate."
Haisen said.
Baili Qingfeng nodded.
The most important thing in peaceful weapon manufacturing is raw materials.
Baili Qingfeng remembers four methods for refining and concentrating weapons-grade raw materials: gas diffusion method, gas centrifugation method, chemical separation method and electromagnetic separation method.
Among these four methods, the gas diffusion method is relatively backward, not very efficient, and consumes a lot of electricity. Baili Qingfeng immediately rejected it, and the chemical separation method...
He's not familiar with it.
What he was really interested in was the electromagnetic separation method.
There are two types of electromagnetic separation methods, one is an older separation technology, and the other is a new technology born in 2031.
There are three isotopic elements in uranium ore: U233, U235 and U238. In a uniform electromagnetic field, charged particles of different isotopes move in different trajectories. As a result, the isotopes collected at different locations are naturally different. This is the result of the electromagnetic separation method. Fundamental.
In 2031, this technology was deeply explored and an electromagnetic resonance wave frequency separation technology was developed, which significantly improved the efficiency of collecting isotopic elements.
Baili Qingfeng still remembers the detailed magnetic resonance formula.
only…
The technological points of this world have not reached this point at all. At present, the only option he can choose is gas centrifugation.
"The Heavenly Realm actually forms a special life field through the cultivation of the small universe. And because I visualized the innate god demon Zuzi, the life field can be used as an electromagnetic field... The current field is relatively weak. When the small universe cultivation method At the second level, you can use your own electromagnetic field to communicate with the star's magnetic field, and use the power of the star's magnetic field to amplify and enter the resonance formula to generate special frequency separation to collect enough weapons-grade enriched uranium... "
Baili Qingfeng estimated that when that time comes, if everything goes well, he can artificially produce weapons-grade enriched uranium, and then artificially trigger the fission chain reaction of these weapons-grade enriched uranium.
But now…
Just use the gas centrifugation method.
Under the leadership of Haisen, the two quickly arrived at the enrichment factory and changed into work clothes.
There are already many people waiting here.
Auburn, Maher, Loves…
No one wants to miss a critical moment.
"Mr. Baili is here."
"Hahaha, our sponsor is here, everyone is welcome."
"Mr. Baili is not only the sponsor of our research project, many of our theories were perfected due to Mr. Baili's guidance and inspiration. Without him, this project would not have been born, and we would not have turned our attention." to this new energy source.”
Several people smiled and greeted Baili Qingfeng at the same time.
Baili Qingfeng returned the greetings one by one, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After saying hello, he came to the batch of processed yellow cake products: "Leave the professional work to the professionals, let's get started directly."
"Well."
Haisen did not force it. Following his order, the staff who had been waiting here immediately became busy.
Looking at these busy staff, Baili Qingfeng was quite satisfied with the progress.
that is…
The enemies seem to be gone.
He regarded the Three Holy Lands as the main culprits of Shia's troubles, and planned to make these weapons of peace and throw them at the mountain gates of the Three Holy Lands, but now...
The three Holy Lands have almost been beaten by him. When he breaks through to the town-state level, he will probably put the overthrow of the Three Holy Lands on the agenda. According to the committee's research and development progress, he wants to truly make available weapons. I'm afraid it will take nearly a year to come out.
One year…
Baili Qingfeng spared Rao's head...
It is said that the Aurora Empire's military formation is unparalleled in the world. One regiment can defeat Shia's division. The military formation will look wherever it goes. Will it be thrown into the Aurora Empire's military formation
And the emperor of the Aurora Empire...
In addition to the emperor, humans also have the humanoid enemy, which is the source of the chaos and turmoil in Shia. After losing the Aurora Empire, the humanoid can also be lost.
After completing these two small goals, it is estimated that he will be able to step down as the deputy leader of the Thunder Sect, withdraw from the martial arts world, become an ordinary person with peace of mind, marry a wife, have children, and live the life he longs for.
Thinking of this, Baili Qingfeng felt relieved and watched the staff dissolve the ground uranium powder into nitric acid to produce a uranyl nitrate solution. After extraction and purification, the uranyl nitrate reacted with ammonia to generate ammonium diuranate, and then Hydrogenation reduction yields uranium dioxide.
After obtaining uranium dioxide, the temperature is raised to 500 degrees, and it is refined with hydrogen fluoride to produce uranium tetrafluoride. Uranium tetrafluoride reacts with fluorine at 300 to 350 degrees to obtain uranium hexafluoride.
The whole process is very simple.
When the staff stored the refined uranium hexafluoride in special gas cylinders, everyone applauded heartily.
"Bah bang bang!"
In the applause, everyone was congratulating each other.
With enough uranium hexafluoride, real weapons-grade enriched uranium can be refined as soon as the centrifuge arrives. Peaceful weapons are equivalent to completing the most critical step.
As for the next step of weaponizing enriched uranium...
It is much simpler than refining weapons-grade enriched uranium.
"I can't wait to see the arrival and installation of the centrifuges. Please remember to notify me when all centrifuges are installed and begin refining weapons-grade enriched uranium."
Baili Qingfeng said sincerely.
"Of course, no one can live without you. If it weren't for you, we would never have thought of using this idea to refine this raw material."
"I believe it will be another great moment."
Hessen and Oban both laughed at the same time.
“The truly great moment is yet to come.”
Baili Qingfeng said with a smile.
He will personally take part in the weaponization of high-purity enriched uranium. Anyway, the three holy places no longer have use of those weapons. Since he is not in a hurry, he has to consider confidentiality.
Baili Qingfeng did not intend to make this matter known to everyone.
It's like there is a nuclear non-proliferation treaty in that world. This kind of thing may bring world peace, but the same...
It can also destroy the world.
…
After witnessing the preparation of uranium hexafluoride, Baili Qingfeng left the base under the escort of base vehicles.
When I got home, Shi Yiyi was actually there.
Seeing him, Shi Yiyi seemed a little resentful: "Qingfeng, you are now the deputy sect leader of the Thunder Sect, so you can just leave quietly, but you don't even bring your mobile phone..."
"cell phone?"
Baili Qingfeng put his hand in his pocket...
But he took out a walkman.
"I was in a hurry and forgot about it, but... it's okay if I don't bring my mobile phone, right? It's rare for anyone to call me. My mobile phone rings only once every three days on average."
"That was before. Today, your phone is almost full of calls."
"Well, what can I do? Could it be a call to sell insurance? Or someone to buy financial products?"
“…”
It took a while for Shi Yiyi to say: "Go back and call me quickly, or... I will take you directly to the Thunder Sect? The sect master and the elders have many things they want to ask you. They will all come in the morning. I looked for you, but I didn’t meet your person.”
"Then no need."
When Baili Qingfeng thought about so many elders asking questions around him, he felt like an older young man who was being urged to get married when he returned home during the New Year: "I'll call the second grandpa and ask him to help me repair my war." First."
With that said, he walked upstairs.
At this time, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly opened the box he brought last night and took out a beautiful sword box.
"for you."
Baili Qingfeng opened the sword box and handed the sword directly to Shi Yiyi: "This time you accompanied me to Tros City and it was a hard drive. I happened to get a sword and gave it to you. Thank you for your kindness along the way. My help."
"sword?"
Shi Yiyi looked at the sword handed over by Baili Qingfeng and immediately saw how extraordinary the sword was: "Is this sword a fine Chenjin sword?"
"Yes, it should be Lanyu's sword..."
"Lanyu!?"
Shi Yiyi felt like her breathing was quickening, and she looked at Baili Qingfeng blankly: "The first female terrestrial true immortal Lanyu who fell in your hands, Qingfeng... you... you have to give me this sword... ?”
Baili Qingfeng nodded: "This sword is suitable for women, so it's the best thing to give to you."
"Qingfeng..."
Shi Yiyi looked at Baili Qingfeng, and her heart was filled with emotion.
"Okay, put the sword away, I'll take the sword box with me."
Baili Qingfeng handed the sword to Shi Yiyi without any explanation.
"Thank you, Qingfeng."
Shi Yiyi's pretty face turned red and she thanked her sincerely.
"You're welcome, as long as you like it."
