Chapter 778: Nuclear Fission Experiment
After the meeting, Fang Yuan returned to the Shenzhou to conduct the physical examination and armor maintenance required by the super soldiers.
This is a necessary procedure after every battle.
The Academy of Military Sciences needs to know exactly the status of each super soldier to determine whether they can continue to participate in the war next.
The maintenance of the warframe is also very important, and the warframe must be in the most perfect state at all times, and there can be no accidents.
However, when Fang Yuan saw Yang Yuping on the Shenzhou, he was stunned for a moment.
"How did you get here?"
"I wanted to go to the Moore Mining Area, but the headquarters didn't let me go, so I went to the Shenzhou first, and then transferred to the Moore Mining Area in a few days. The laboratory over there should be almost ready. Yang Yuping said and pulled Fang Yuan to the Star Power Tester for a physical examination.
In China, the star power cultivation model of the awakened was completed by Yang Yuping with the scientific research team, so Yang Yuping is also a master in the research of the awakened.
This time, he applied to go to the Moore Mining Area, but the headquarters temporarily left him on the Shenzhou on the grounds that the laboratory was not built.
Relatively speaking, the Shenzhou's defense force is stronger and safer.
Moreover, the headquarters also gave Yu Hongsheng the authority to command the Shenzhou to withdraw from the battlefield at any time.
"Professor, it's actually good to do experiments on Earth, it's not interesting to come here." Fang Yuan felt that a leader in the scientific community like Yang Yuping should still stay in the rear.
"Don't persuade you, experimentation itself is dangerous, it's the same everywhere. This time, there has been new progress in the research of Xingyuan ore, and the research of strong interaction materials is also close to the last kick, as long as it can be crossed, there is really hope for mankind. Yang Yuping's eyes were burning, as if he had seen the hope of human beings surviving under the threat of advanced civilization.
Until then, human scientists were well aware that humanity had little hope of surviving under the threat of advanced civilizations.
In fact, most human scientists believe that escapism is the only way for humanity to continue the flame of civilization.
It's just that, many times, the truth is in the hands of a few.
In the eyes of scientists, "flight" is the only hope for the continuation of civilization.
And in the eyes of the public, "fleeing" is the act of cowards, the act of abandoning them.
Collective wisdom is sometimes stupid.
Each individual in the collective thinks about his own interests, and when he hears about "escapism", he only thinks about whether he will be abandoned, not whether the civilization can continue.
It's different now.
From controlled nuclear fusion to strong interaction materials, to in-depth research on star source ores, each of them is ahead of its time, and as long as human beings cross this threshold, they will have the hope of developing into an advanced civilization in the future.
"Just got the data, and you copied your opponent's 235U ability? This ability, useful for the study of nuclear fission, requires rigorous testing. Yang Yuping had been prepared to test the uranium-235 fission reaction before.
"yes, 235U is copied, and you don't have to say, it's super exciting to use. As soon as he raised his hand, the uranium-235 element would begin to fission, and a chain reaction would occur, boom boom boom ......" Fang Yuan gestured with his hand with a boom boom motion, his eyes were full of raging war fire, and he felt a little unfinished.
"Come here. We go into the fission lab. Yang Yuping said and took Fang Yuan to the laboratory.
Entering the fission lab, a researcher in a protective suit opened the lead container and took out a copy of the radioactive elements used in the experiment.
"Professor, this is uranium-235." The researcher said.
This uranium-235 is a laboratory quantity and has a very small mass.
"Are you ready for the experiment?" Yang Yuping looked around and asked the team.
Da Liu gave a thumbs up and said, "It's all ready." ”
"What about protective preparations?"
"It's ready, too."
"Let's get started. Fang Yuan, you use your ability to detonate this uranium-235 sample. Yang Yuping said.
Although he knew that the mass of this uranium-235 sample was very small, and the explosion caused by it would not be too powerful, Fang Yuan still used the Black Crystal Shield Armor to protect it a little before he started to detonate the uranium-235 sample.
Boom!
A muffled sound exploded inside the lead container.
Various instruments in the laboratory quickly record the process of explosion.
After the nuclear explosion, preliminary conclusions were quickly drawn.
"Professor, it is normal nuclear fission, mass loss and energy release, which is completely in line with the mass-energy formula." Da Liu saw the data on the computer, pushed his glasses and said.
"Okay, hard work, everyone, next, try plutonium 239." After Yang Yuping saw the data, he then ordered the next experiment.
Plutonium-239 is another radioactive material often used in fission bombs, and in nuclear bombs, plutonium-239 has a higher nuclear explosion efficiency than uranium-235, but it is also much more difficult to obtain.
Fang Yuan didn't ask why he was conducting the plutonium-239 experiment.
Because this question doesn't need to be asked.
The ability is called 235U, which literally means that it can control the fission reaction of uranium-235.
However, the name is not necessarily the whole of the super-energy properties, and the fact that it can control the fission reaction of uranium-235 does not mean that it cannot control the fission of other radioactive elements.
Of course, this needs to be experimentally to be determined.
After the research team prepared the plutonium-239 experiment, Fang Yuan used the ability on the plutonium-239 sample as required.
However, this time the plutonium-239 sample did not explode.
Fang Yuan repeated the attempts many times, and finally confirmed, "Professor, this ability seems to be the same as its name, it only works against uranium-235. ”
Yang Yuping nodded and said, "Judging from the current experimental results, this is indeed the case. However, it may also be that the energy level is not enough, and this needs to be analyzed to know the results. ”
In the eyes of scientists like Yang Yuping, many laws of the universe are related to energy.
If an experiment is not successful, it is likely that the energy level is not enough.
The same is true for the manufacture of strong interaction materials, ordinary energy cannot bring the distance of atomic nuclei closer at all, and only the energy provided by Xingyuan ore can do it.
This is because the energy provided by the Star Source Mine is an extremely high energy level.
Therefore, Yang Yuping preliminarily believes that the ability of 235U can only make uranium-235 fission, but it has no effect on plutonium-239, and the energy level should not be enough.
Fang Yuan nodded slowly, agreeing with this point of view: "Now this ability really doesn't work on Plutonium-239, if you want to continue this experiment, I guess you'll have to wait until later." ”
"You work harder, hurry up and increase the star power level, maybe after upgrading, the energy level will be enough." Yang Yuping has a posture that allows you to upgrade, and you can upgrade.
Fang Yuan spread his hands a little helplessly, and said, "That Raman Campbell meteorite-level Lv.4, depending on his situation, he only collects uranium 235 elements, and it is estimated that before the meteorite-level Lv.4, this ability will not change much." ”
