347. The prototype of the Institute of Atomic Energy
"Moreover, funding is a big problem, and we first need to apply to the Mage Council for the first batch of funding, a huge amount of money. ”
"How much?"
Adam estimated it and gave an approximate value, and Julius Superdimensional said unconcernedly: "The funding is not a problem, I can provide it myself, or someone else..."
"This is a must, Your Excellency, relying on the capabilities of the two of us is not enough to support such a large project, we need a lot of help. ”
Julius scratched his hair irritably: "Okay, leave these to me, you make a list of the types of mages you need for me, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

If you want to study atomic energy, you must understand the internal structure of atoms, for example, determine the nuclear model, find protons and neutrons.
Neutrons, in particular, will be a necessary prerequisite for the study of nuclear structure.
The methods of the experiments had a rough impression in Adam's mind, but in order to make these experiments possible, he needed the help of more mages.
The convenience of magic is here, these experiments on the earth, require all kinds of sophisticated experimental equipment, but here, the power of magic can be achieved.
In order to create an atomic bomb in the mage world, it is necessary to first purify weapons-grade enriched uranium with a uranium-235 content of more than 90%.
The method of purification also requires the power of magic.
Julius said that he saw from these radioactive elements the great knowledge that could make him a true spirit, Adam did not think that nuclear fission could achieve this effect, the power of the atomic bomb was terrible on the earth, but as far as Adam saw, only the arm of the Archmage of the true spirit of Mateson could produce the power that could throw off the atomic bomb I don't know how far.
Nuclear fusion is still a bit possible, but Adam feels that it is still not enough.
If these two points are removed, what will remain?
Adam feels like there may only be one left...
Adam felt that it was appropriate for an extradimensional mage from the Second Holy Tower to study this, and it might save a lot of difficulty.
Adam didn't expect to rely on that to advance to the extradimensional.
In fact, for him, the extradimensional barrier no longer exists, and the barrier between mind and matter mentioned by Croft is something that extradimensional mages who grow up in the normal system need to face, but for Adam, he can be promoted from another aspect, and now he only needs to wait for the existing magic to be complete, and then obtain enough source power to fill the last fifth of the soul, and then he can become extradimensional in one fell swoop.
The main reason why he was interested in coming to this institute was that he felt that he could apply the fusion fission reaction after his research was completed to magic.
As we all know, magic is a kind of energy, in addition to ether, the foundation of the mage's survival, the mage's use of magic is roughly burning-production-release, if the existing combustion method can be changed, so that the magic power can be fissioned or even fusion to produce energy, then the strength of a mage, how much will it improve?
———
Julius's actions were very fast, and he found a large number of helpers in a few days, and it can be seen from their reluctant expressions that these helpers are his acquaintances, and it should be for the sake of the mage himself to help when he comes to the laboratory, and he is not very optimistic about this project.
Julius Chaowei didn't care, he wanted to make achievements to slap these old friends in the face, the more difficult it is to invite now, the more dazzling the reversal will be after the results appear in the future.
He comforted himself.
Adam felt that the number of people was still a little small, but it was estimated that this was already the limit of Julius's extradimensional connections, and he couldn't force too much now, as long as there was even a useful progress in the project, it could be taken out to attract more talents, just like the previous personal chip.
These mages who came to help didn't have a bad impression of Adam, and they were all high-level members of various holy towers, and they also knew something about what Adam had done before, so they were very kind when communicating with Adam.
Julius did what he said, without the slightest intention of interfering when Adam arranged the work, and seemed to really regard himself as an assistant, and Adam began to give instructions unceremoniously.
The first is the enrichment of uranium.
Several extradimensional mages from the Fifth Elemental Tower, who are the best practitioners of the Gas Diffusion Method, have magic that can perfectly replace any equipment for their purposes.
Before, Katos radiation creatures could prepare uranium hexafluoride, and the mages naturally could, after Adam briefly introduced the principle, they nodded their heads and said that there was no problem, and they were even a little surprised, at that time, they couldn't come up with such an effective way to purify those ores, but they didn't expect a fourth-level mage to find a way.
Adam then invited several other mages to join him in the Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment, also known as the Gold Leaf Experiment, which was great in terms of ideas, but actually very simple to operate.
Especially in the mage world.
Sources capable of emitting alpha rays are everywhere in Katos, and the radiation emitted by radioactive minerals everywhere contains these particle beams, as can the radioactive creatures that work as slaves outside.
Adam put the radioactive element polonium in a lead box, prepared a micron thick piece of gold leaf, a phosphor screen, and asked the mage to construct an amplification spell to create a vacuum space.
When the collimated alpha ray bombards the gold leaf, most of the particles shine straight through the gold leaf, and the deflection is very small, but a few particles are deflected, and the deflection angle of one in 8,000 is greater than 90 degrees, and even the large angle scattering with a deflection angle of 150 appears.
As soon as this experimental phenomenon appeared, the faces of the extradimensional mages around Adam changed drastically, even if they didn't know much about the microscopic level, they knew that this was not normal.
"What's this, what's going on?" they couldn't help but ask.
Adam ordered his personal chip to record the experimental data in its entirety, and replied, "Obviously, there are particles in the void that are smaller than atoms, and if you have seen the paper I uploaded earlier, you will know that I have discovered a new particle called electron, which exists in atoms..."
Unfazed, the mages either connected to the magic web, or activated their personal chips, and began to read Kiadam's papers, ignoring the high cost of reading and immersing themselves in the new knowledge.
The more they read, the more shocked they became, they never thought that this fourth-level mage in front of them would actually find such an amazing thing.
Adam waited until they had finished reading and then said: "The mass of the electron, less than 1 in 7,400 of the alpha particle, the particle touches it, like a flying bullet touching a particle of dust, and the direction of motion does not change significantly..."
