206. Exposure (two-in-one)
Adam found that the social division of labor in the radiant population was very vague, and the second-level creatures in the city did not have a clear function, they were very random.
Radioactive creatures roam around the city, some of them happen to be on the edge of the city, they will be responsible for handing over to the first-class laborers, carrying radioactive minerals and supplies themselves, and even the perimeter of that important building does not find the presence of guards, they just swagger in, and then soon return to the city to continue wandering.
So Adam also began to wander around there, he was not in a hurry to take over the job, after all, he was playing a second-level creature that had just been promoted, although the radiation race seemed a little sluggish, but it was difficult to guarantee whether anyone would be spying on him, so it was better to be cautious at this time.
Within seven days, Adam followed the other radioactive creatures to try all the things he could do in the city, including obtaining water and other survival materials, resting in the designated places, and directing the first-level radioactive creatures to invade the dragon plane on the newly created dimensional crevices, etc., and on the eighth day, he found an opportunity.
A second-level creature on the edge of the city suddenly left the city, and a large number of minerals and resources unloaded by the laborers were left in place and no one gathered them, and when several nearby second-level creatures were about to go over and take over, Adam found the right time to rush to carry all the ores on his back, and then flew towards the building.
There were also a number of monsters that converged from several other directions along the way, and Adam joined the party as if nothing happened, and then entered the building without any problems.
At this point, Adam deliberately slowed himself down in order to get a better view of everything in the building.
This is a preliminary preparation and refining plant for radioactive minerals, and the radioactive race is indeed studying nuclear knowledge.
In Adam's memories from Earth, the refining of radioactive minerals was the process of extracting uranium from uranium ore until it was made into a nuclear-pure uranium compound. Nuclear purity is a quantity that represents the purity of a radioactive sample, is the percentage of the activity of a radionuclide in the total activity of the sample, on the earth, uranium with a purity of 3 percent is called low-enriched uranium, which can be used as an energy source for power generation in nuclear power plants, and the purity greater than 80 percent becomes highly enriched uranium, of which the purity greater than 90 percent is called weapons-grade highly enriched uranium, and only when this purity is reached, can it be used as nuclear weapons fuel.
The preparation of weapons-grade highly enriched uranium requires a very complex series of processes, after mining the ore, it needs to go through the processes of leaching, smelting, refining, enrichment and separation, which requires a high level of science and technology, and refining one kilogram of weapons-grade U-235 requires 200 tons of uranium ore, which is still under the basically mature atomic energy industry system on the earth, and the efficiency will be lower in Katos.
In the factory in front of Adam, Adam saw that many secondary radioactive organisms were using their stout tentacles, which seemed to have been deliberately mutated, to smash the ore into pieces and annihilate them into small particles, which would then be stuffed into the mouths of another group of motionless radioactive creatures, and the uranium in the particles would be selectively dissolved by the bodily fluids they secreted, and finally a small amount of uranium that still contained a large proportion of impurities would be separated.
That's all the things that this factory can do, they don't have a complete atomic energy industrial system, but they rely on the special structure of the body to complete the initial purification of the raw ore with mutated tissue.
There were a few Level 3 creatures in the factory as managers, but they only focused on the Level 2 creatures as tools, and didn't care about the transporters, saying only one word at the beginning, "Put it over there." "I haven't said anything since.
Adam left the factory with the other creatures, he felt that if Katos's research on nuclear only reached this level, they were still far from the real application, these impurities of the primary pure uranium were useless at all, but this sign was terrible, the talent of the radiation population was born in line with this knowledge, in the case of no alchemy system at all, they actually used the way to control the direction of their own mutation to refine radioactive minerals, in giving them some time...
"When knowledge is transformed into power, maybe they can really evolve from a radiant race to a nuclear race. Adam said to the devil.
The devil was a little speechless when he heard this: "Master, I think you really should learn more about common sense after completing this mission." ”
"What do you mean?" Adam asked inwardly as he drifted toward the other end of the city.
"The race that can directly turn knowledge into power, in the observation of the devil, there is only one mage in the entire void. I've never heard of any other world in the Void having this ability, and even if Katos really succeeds in researching, it will only be one more weapon, and racial evolution is simply impossible. ”
Adam knew that he was weak in common sense, not to mention that compared to other mages, he was not even as good as the devil who had fun outside for a long time, so he humbly asked, "Why?"
It was rare for the devil to have such an opportunity, so he simply put on a look of hatred for iron and steel, and reprimanded: "Because of the origin of the mage world, master, you have been in contact with the origin since you were promoted, right? ”
He thought of the great origin of the mage world, and what the origin said to him at the moment of promotion: You verify my existence, and I give you infinite power.
Adam was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized: "I see, this is the reason why the mage can directly transform knowledge into power. ”
The devil nodded again and again: "So, the mage's ability is unique, which is also the reason why the mage can become the top predator in the void, this group of monsters in the world of Katos is still too far away, and master, I think you think you think too highly of this energy called nuclear energy, even if they succeed, what can they do, can it be stronger than magic?"
At this time, Adam flew out from the other end of the city, and flew to another city along the group of laborers transporting the preliminarily purified ore, the devil's question Adam didn't know how to explain to the devil, this part of the information was the top secret on the earth, as early as the moment of the explosion, it was wiped out with the body, what he knew now was only the most superficial content, but he had a faint hunch that the role of nuclear energy here would definitely be very powerful.
After all, even ordinary ground, water, wind, fire, and power can give birth to such amazing power, let alone more advanced nuclear energy?
Moreover, a large part of the research of nuclear energy involves the micro level, which has a huge effect on exploring the reality of the world.
———
The cities of the radiant race are distributed in a ring, they seem to divide the whole world into four large circles, the outermost is the ordinary city, Adam called it the four rings, they form the first line of defense of the new order of the radiant race, these cities are carrying out preliminary purification processes, according to this law, the cities in the third and second rings will further refine the rough ore, maybe in the final, in the ring that Adam has not entered, there will be high-level and even extradimensional beings to collect these resources for experiments.
Over the next few months, Adam followed the group of laborers out of the first city through many cities in the Third Ring Road, and he didn't know what the relationship between the Radiation Kings was, so for the sake of safety, he didn't choose the city that deviated from the distance, but he had already gathered a lot of information, and the Radiation Population was really developing a unique system.
With only one month left before the arrival of the mage legion, Adam arrived at the Second Ring and entered the first city of the Second Ring Road as a high-ranking laborer.
The city is completely different from the previous ones, the social division of labor is clear, there is a complete rudimentary order, the minimum standard of living here is a third-level creature, compared to the second-level creatures, their language has more logic, Adam was interrogated relatively carefully before entering, until he told his origin and the deceased to which he belonged, he was allowed to enter the city and transport the minerals to the factory here.
Adam thought he would be driven away after sending the ore to the warehouse like all other servants, but things changed.
"You, stay, go over there. A tertiary radiation creature stopped in front of Adam and said.
Adam was slightly stunned, and walked to the other side according to his words, and found that there were more than twenty second-level creatures gathered there, because they did not talk to each other, so Adam could not know the purpose of the third-level creatures, but Adam found that including himself, everyone had one thing in common, that is, the body was relatively huge, and Adam was because of the dragon body before the mutation, and they could all be counted as strong individuals in the radiation population.
"Master, let's run away, these monsters are definitely not in good health, and there is more than one fourth-level monster here, it would be terrible for them to find out. The devil said anxiously.
Adam rejected him: "No, I want to know what they are going to do. ”
The devil felt very tired: "Master, if we are surrounded by fourth-level creatures, it will be difficult for us to escape, although your electromagnetic magic restrains them, but..."
At this moment, the previous third-level creature came to them: "Follow me." ”
Adam said to the devil, "Shut up. He then cut off the communications and walked into the factory with the rest of the secondary creatures.
The third-level creatures divided them into teams and handed them over to the rest of the factory, and Adam, along with the five radiant creatures beside him, was led deeper into the factory, next to a group of monsters that were used as tools.
"Du, they're the quota this time. ”
The deepest monster opened its eyes: "So little?"
"The war continues, the losses of the low-level races are great, and there are fewer and fewer evolved individuals, and even fewer of them can be used. ”
The radioactive creature named Du ignored the explanation and said arrogantly: "I don't care for any reason, Ken, next time I want to double the quota, otherwise I will turn you into an extractor." ”
Adam's real eyes lit up, the meaning of Du's words was obvious, he had the ability to control other radiation creatures to complete specific mutations, and Adam could feel the undisguised fourth-level energy aura on his body, it seemed that this time he could really contact the upper echelons of the radiation population.
Ken was silent for a moment before saying, "I see, Du." Then he retreated.
After Ken left, Du stood up from the spot, this was the largest radiating creature Adam had ever seen, it looked like a deformed tumor when it was completely erect, not counting the tentacles with teeth and claws, and its net height was nearly thirty meters. Adam noticed that he had a thick tentacle running through the rest of the monsters known as the Refiner, and he used this method to connect the multiple monsters into a single unit.
Adam understood what he wanted to do, although he didn't know what kind of state it would be like after being turned into an extractor, but it was obviously impossible to feel good, otherwise the previous Ken would not have been silent for so long, that is, he might die after being mutated.
Du didn't have the idea of asking the second-level kindred, a tentacle bolted out like lightning, and easily inserted into the body of the one closest to him, the ugly body of the creature began to twitch, and a large amount of low-level radiation energy overflowed, and then it was quickly filled with the high-level energy on Du's body.
The tentacles did not linger and continued to insert into the second creature, and the same scenario happened again.
Adam silently watched the tentacles running through the creatures around him, and the real body set the thread containing the flashing spell to the state to be activated, and he realized that this time he might not be able to fool around.
Sure enough, as soon as the tentacles entered Adam's body, Du's energy aura suddenly became fierce, and dozens of tentacles rose like blades, making a huge explosion, and then hit Adam fiercely.
"You're not of the same race!Dragon, I've tasted the Dragon!"
Bang bang!
As if the hammer smashed into the egg with all its might, the radiated frost dragon's body was directly beaten into meat sauce, and Adam's body holding a magic wand appeared in front of him.
"Not a dragon, advanced energy! What are you?"
"Intruder!"
The deafening sound instantly spread throughout the entire factory, and nearly ten energy breaths that had reached the fourth level rushed into the sky, quickly killing in the direction of Du.
"Die!"
Du roared again, and a huge energy beam with a diameter of nearly five meters directly smashed the refiner blocking him into nothingness, bringing energy fluctuations that were so strong that they disturbed the space to Adam.
The magnetized mage's armor lasted less than a second under the furious energy attack before it was on the verge of collapse, and in the nick of time, Adam activated his whole body magic to stabilize the space around him, and then disappeared in place with the glow of the runes.
The energy beam missed, and the power of the entire factory did not diminish in the slightest, and all living things in this straight line were evaporated until they were several kilometers out of the city.
Du was furious, broke through the walls of the factory, flew into the air, and ordered several fourth-level clans and third-level lifeforms of the whole city to rush over: "The intruder has pure high-level energy! Find him, capture him, and give it to King Nathaniel!"
