Inside the furnace, the light emitted by the metal powder in the mold is very bright, but it does not melt.

Both rhenium metal and tungsten metal are extremely heat-resistant and have a high melting point - this is one of the main reasons why they are used to cast the internal components of nuclear bombs, so simple heating cannot make them quickly transform into form, and the rest of the operations must be carried out.

Pressure.

"Click!"

With a bang, Richard pulled down a lever on the outside of the furnace.

"Buzz!"

A slight roar sounds, and the air pump comes to work, injecting argon, an inert gas, into the sealed furnace to increase the pressure.

Eventually, under the dual action of high temperature and high pressure, the metal tungsten and rhenium metal were gradually melted and successfully sintered into rhenium-tungsten alloy metal blocks.

......

Richard worked long hours in front of the furnace and obtained hundreds of sintered rhenium-tungsten alloy components.

These components are rough and then further processed to reduce the number of tolerances to meet the numerical requirements in the nuclear weapons blueprint.

But in any case, the second process of nuclear weapons production is completed.

Then comes the third process.

Richard moved his body and left the furnace.

......

The third process is carried out in the highest-level laboratory in the Garden of Eden, which is the underground laboratory of the dangerous goods functional sector.

This time, I will work on the metal beryllium.

Beryllium metal is considered a non-toxic element, but beryllium powder reacts with air and is easily converted into berylliium oxide. Once the human body absorbs beryllium oxide, it will be converted into beryllium hydroxide through a reaction in the body, which will cause beryllium poisoning pneumonia, which is fatal.

To do this, Richard put on a full set of protective suits. On the one hand, it is for absolute safety, and on the other hand, it is also for the next process to do practice.

In the highest-level underground laboratory of Eden, a processing table has been set up in one room, which is not much different from the processing table in the No. 1 laboratory of the machining sector. They are wide and heavy, calm and precise, with levels, screw jacks, and more robotic arms, and a space iron ring for cutting at the end of the robotic arm - the reality has proven that this is the best cutter head.

Inside the three-proof mask, Richard took a deep breath of air from the oxygen tank, walked to the console, grabbed the robotic arm and began to work.

The free energy elements in the body poured out, penetrated the protective suit and acted on the space iron ring, turning on the functions of "absolute cutting of space scissors" and "absolute processing of space accuracy" of the iron ring, and approaching the metal beryllium on the operating table.

"Squeak, squeak......"

An extremely subtle sound sounded, and the metal beryllium kept changing shape, moving closer to what it looked like in the blueprint.

......

It was another long time, and the processing of the third process of metal beryllium was also completed, and the fourth process was officially ushered in.

This is the most important process in the manufacture of nuclear weapons, and it is the core.

In this process, the nuclear raw material – the uranium metal – is processed.

Specifically, the metal uranium-235 is cast into a metal block and then cut into the desired shape - that is, the combination of the second and third processes - which is why the first two steps are carried out first, and then this step is carried out, and after "practice", it is guaranteed that the already low accident probability is reduced again.

......

It is also the highest level underground laboratory in the Garden of Eden.

in another room.

Dressed in a hazmat suit, Richard removed the weapons-grade uranium metal from the heavy lead box, loaded it into a ceramic crucible, and sent it towards an electric furnace set up here.

Pull down the lever and the air pump starts working, first emptying the oxygen inside, and then injecting an excess of the inert gas argon, which avoids oxidation reaction and keeps the inside of the furnace in a high-pressure environment, which is conducive to melting.

After doing this, Richard solemnly pressed the button.

"Silk Silk ~"

The current is turned on, the furnace is running, and the internal temperature rises rapidly, and the weapons-grade metal uranium is melted and then poured into the abrasive to cast it into the desired shape.

After this step, the reshaped uranium metal was placed on the processing platform in the previous room, and Richard operated the iron ring of the sword control at the end of the robotic arm, cutting the metal uranium like cutting metal beryllium.

"Squeak, squeak......"

The spatial iron ring smoothly crossed the surface of the metal uranium, undulating unevenly, and instantly became smooth into the mirror, and the degree of fineness has exceeded the limit of what the human eye can distinguish.

"Squeak, squeak......"

As Richard worked on it, the surface of the uranium metal became brighter and brighter, and it looked like a water-soaked rag had been wiped against a dusty mirror—as if the uranium metal had been the way it was, and now it was just a matter of restoring it to its original state.

In the silent processing room, the robotic arm is constantly moving, and a large, bright component slowly takes shape, displaying a striking beauty.

Eventually, the building was done.

It looks a little weird, like a glass of water, with the mouth of the bottle bending extremely outward, and then extending towards the bottom of the glass—at an angle, like an exaggerated vase.

But in reality, it is neither a water cup nor a vase, and it has a large round hole in the bottom that prevents it from holding anything.

It is the internal building block of a nuclear weapon – the most important, the most central building block of nuclear materials.

Its exterior is as smooth as glass and bright as a mirror, and every surface reflects the light of the room's spotlights. It looks like a piece of art, more beautiful than diamonds and crystals.

In fact, it is indeed a work of art—an object made by the art of technology, the art of industry, and the art of destruction.

This is a "crystal heart", a seed that destroys the world.

Richard breathed in his hazmat suit, carefully picked up the processed metal uranium component, looked at it with his eyes, and smiled knowingly after looking at it for a long time.

After so many years of hard work, I finally saw the rewards and the dawn of success.

Not easy, not easy.

However, it's worth it.

It's worth it.

Richard spent more than ten seconds quietly enjoying the satisfaction of the success of his work, and then slowly put away the uranium metal components and walked out of the room.

......

Now the fourth and most important process of nuclear weapons manufacturing has been completed, but this does not mean that nuclear weapons have been produced.

On the contrary, there are still many tedious processes before nuclear weapons are actually produced.

Although these processes are not as important as the "crystal heart" uranium metal components, they affect the effectiveness of nuclear weapons.

The principle of nuclear weapons is simple, but the actual production is a highly sophisticated industrial product. As a result, any detail of the explosion will be greatly reduced, or even prevented from happening.

To put it simply, nuclear weapons have not yet been built, and we need to continue to work hard.

Then keep up the good work.
