"I've already thought about the route to get in, and I've made notes of most of the checkpoints in the city. I even found three temporary hideouts for us, two near Mantebella and one in the city center. Virtek nodded.

Lin Rui nodded, set off with the rest of the team, and took advantage of the night to blend into Hekou City. Originally, this small farm was in the suburbs not far from the city, and it was very convenient to enter the city. After infiltrating the city, Virtek led them all the way southeast, avoiding most of the checkpoints. Coming to an old house in the city, he looked around and pushed the door in.

There were three or four rooms inside, but none of them were big. After closing the door, Virtek turned on the light and spread out the map on the table.

"This is where we are now, two blocks away from the Mantebella power plant. With troops guarding both this position and this position, the defense at night may be a little looser than during the day. Virtek whispered, "I've observed and calculated, if we're going to go there, we'll have to take this path." ”

Lin Rui waved his hand and said, "Where are those members of the Secret Society you said stationed?"

"Most of the members of the Order are concentrated in this area, but the number of personnel is unknown, and I can't get there. Virtek pointed to the location on the map.

"What is this place for?" asked Lin Rui, pointing to the place on the map.

"It's an old chemical plant, and I can't remember what the name is. Virtak thought for a moment and said, "But it's completely locked down now, you don't want to go there, do you?"

"Nothing, just asking. Lin Rui nodded and turned to Jiang'andao, "What do you think?"

"Whatever the Order's people are doing there, I'm pretty sure they're in need of plenty of power. "You know that the infrastructure in Santuyak is very poor, and there are big problems in terms of power supply. In some villages, there is still no electricity. And even power outages in the city are commonplace. But here, they have plenty of electricity. Because the power plant is right next to them. ”

"Not necessarily, right? With their strength, they can secure power supply wherever they are. They are not like the native warlords, they are much better equipped than they are. Power supply can be guaranteed even in the field. A couple of generators is not a problem for them at all. Ivan shook his head.

"Maybe they need more than just general electricity, but large-scale, industrial-grade power supply. Shogan's face changed slightly.

"Large-scale industrial electricity, chemical plants. Lin Rui frowned and said, "Could it be that they are doing some VX poison again?"

Shogishi shook his head and said, "Maybe it's more dangerous than this." VX Poison doesn't have to maintain such a large amount of electricity consumption. Unless they're making something else. ”

"What?" said Ivan, frowning.

"Heavy water. "Shogan said slowly," a compound made up of deuterium and oxygen. They chose the location near the hydropower plant for the purpose of using electricity. It is likely that they used the oldest electrolysis method to produce heavy water, because the energy required for electrolysis and distillation is enormous. In 1934, Norway built the world's first heavy water production plant using cheap hydroelectric power. ”

"However, what is the use of the heavy water you are talking about, why do the members of the Secret Society produce such a thing?" Peng Lefeng said with some puzzlement.

"The special value of heavy water is reflected in the application of atomic energy technology, and to create powerful nuclear weapons, heavy water is needed as a moderator in the fission reaction of atomic nuclei. ”

"Nuclear weapons!" Ivan's face changed suddenly.

"It should be a reactor. Some nuclear reactors use heavy water to slow down neutrons and give them a chance to react with uranium. Light water can also be used as a moderator, but because it absorbs neutrons, it is necessary to use enriched uranium instead of ordinary uranium in light water reactors, and heavy water used in nuclear power plants will not reach critical mass.

Heavy water reactors will not only use ordinary uranium, but will also convert uranium-238 into plutonium, which can be used to make nuclear bombs. India, Pakistan, and Israel all use this method to produce nuclear fuel. Moreover, in order to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the production and sale of heavy water is restricted in many countries. "Shogan said slowly.

"Wouldn't it?" Lin Rui said in disbelief.

"I hope not, but when I was in the Strategic Research Laboratory, I did some research on these kinds of incidents. The river leads to the offshore water, and the electrolysis of seawater from guò to produce heavy water requires a huge amount of energy, and large hydropower plants are the best option. These factors come together, it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?" said Shogishi's face solemnly.

"In that case, the situation is too strict. Lin Rui frowned and said, "No wonder they will send so many people to guard the power plant." And maybe the heavy water plant will be tougher defended. Maybe that's what they're really for, they never wanted to help a warlord like General Dunby, they just wanted the resources here. Large hydroelectric power plant with a port to the sea in the south. After they make heavy water here, it can be transported to many places. ”

"That's how it should be. "Judging from the time, this city only fell into the hands of the rebels a few months ago, so it didn't take long for them to start producing heavy water. There shouldn't be much of it until now. ”

"This means that if we destroy the power plant, the plant will be forced to shut down. Lin Rui said in a deep voice.

"It's just a conjecture on my part. If it is true, the Secret Society has spent such a big price, and I am sure they will not give it up lightly. "Jiang An said slowly," Maybe he will increase his efforts to control this area. This would push this war to the real top. ”

Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "This matter is too important, should we notify Silver Wolf Michelle?"

"How to notify, our qiē is just speculation, even if it is reasonable, we can't prove it. Besides, the silver wolf is busy with other things now, and we can't communicate with Guò satellite. "Shogan said slowly. "We have to make our own decisions. ”

"No matter what, we will destroy this power plant and leave according to the original plan. Their heavy water plant, without electricity, still can't work. Qin Fen said in a deep voice.

"But then we'd be completely furious with the Order. If they suspect that their plans for heavy water production have been exposed, then we will be the main target of their outrage, not Harlot. Ivan said slowly, "Harlot owns a country, and he fights with the Secret Society, and it is still miserable like this. What about us?"

Lin Rui was silent for a long time and said, "Do it according to the original plan, and you must destroy the power plant." ”
