The reason why neutrons are chosen is because neutrons are electrically neutral, and in the process of bombarding the atomic nucleus, they are not affected by the force of the nucleus, and can penetrate the Coulomb potential more easily.

As for the precision equipment that Adam is talking about, he is referring to the accelerator. The importance of the accelerator does not need much, and this high-tech, precise, and cutting-edge equipment is a necessity for the study of high-energy physics and particle physics.

There are advantages to early manufacturing, and although you don't need to use it yet, you can use it sooner or later.

The use of neutrons to bombard uranium nuclei requires a neutron source that can stabilize the emission of neutrons, and there are many of them, but the best and most convenient is californium metal (open).

Adam opened an enclosed room containing only the experiment's operator, Julius Superdimensional, californium in a lead box, and uranium as a target nucleus directly in front of the particle orbit.

The mages who were doing other research gathered around them, everyone knew that this institute was in charge of Julius at the beginning, and the initial research project was what he was going to do now, although now they felt that this project was actually dispensable, but they still put down their work and gathered around the observatory, if they found it, it was naturally good, and if they didn't find it, they could laugh at Julius.

After the preparations were completed, Adam announced: "The first neutron bombardment experiment with uranium begins. ”

Extradimensional Julius removed the shield in front of the lead box, but nothing happened, no energy emission, no matter generation, no mysteries.

The two of them had already filled the room with the most advanced observation magic arrays to ensure that every corner was in the observation range, but these microscopic particles were too small, and the existing magic arrays still could not observe the appearance of neutron beams.

Everyone looked at each other, although they didn't talk to each other, but the regret in their eyes couldn't be hidden, the first experiment was obviously a failure.

Adam and Julius Superdimensional didn't care about a failure, Adam knew that the probability of inducing fission was actually not very high, especially when it was only a low-energy neutron as a cannonball, and Julius Superdimensional had a firm belief that he could become an eighth-level mage, and he had done countless experiments and experienced countless failures in the long years, and now he couldn't shake his will at all.

Various purification spells appeared in the room, and when everything was the same as it had been, Adam announced the start of the second experiment.

However, the result is still inconclusive.

And then the third, the fourth... Twenty-four hours passed, and not a single one of them succeeded.

A day later, the extradimensional mage walked out of the room, ignoring the others, and walked directly to Adam, discussed with him about adjusting the parameters of the experiment, and then walked in again.

For a few days, the two of them had no idea what exhaustion was, but the thousands of failures made the rest of the mages lose interest in continuing to watch, and Adam simply separated the area, leaving only himself and the extradimensional mage.

After five days, the energy indicator alarm finally sounded in the room that had been silent, and the two of them shook their spirits at the same time, and Julius teleported to the most target uranium, while Adam pressed his head against the monitor.

"We succeeded!" the two said in unison.

The voices of the two attracted the attention of all the mages, and they teleported to Adam's side almost at the same moment, asking in a loud voice, "Did you succeed? What did you find?"

Julius Superdimensional: "The uranium nucleus was hit by neutrons and split into two medium-mass nuclei!"

Adam: "A lot of energy was generated during the splitting, and two neutrons were released!"

The others didn't understand where their excitement was, and a nucleus turned into two, and then a little bit of energy was produced, and what was a joy to find? That energy was tens of thousands of times stronger for each of them if they emitted a little bit of magic.

"So, what's the use of that?" someone asked, puzzled.

Adam looked at Julius Extradimensional, this explanation should be left to him, but the extradimensional mage was so immersed in the success just now that he didn't have time to pay attention to everyone, and immediately began to prepare for a new round of experiments, he had to make sure that it was not an accident.

Seeing this, the sub-generation explained: "The success of this experiment means that the nuclear fission reaction can be achieved in the mage world, in the ether void, this time the uranium as the target nucleus is too small, if the uranium is larger, the fission will produce a chain reaction, and after confinement of them to a range, it will produce great power." ”

"Uh, and then? an extra alchemy weapon?" Everyone still didn't understand, just a weapon, how important can it be? The mage world has never lacked something powerful, and any one true spirit magic is enough to destroy a large plane.

Now, Adam finally had the confidence to say what he thought: "No, it's not about making weapons, it's about applying the way this energy is generated to ourselves." ”

As soon as Adam's words fell, the eyes of all the mages suddenly lit up, and someone asked tentatively, "You mean... Magic!?"

Adam nodded without hesitation: "That's right, it's magic." If we can apply the phenomenon of fission to our own magic, then..."

"At that time, whether it is instantaneous output or energy reserve, it can be increased geometrically!"

————

The success of the first experiment and what Adam said were all spread through the mouths of the mages, and the reaction of the mage council was extremely fast, and the resources were immediately tilted to the atomic energy research institute, and the first generation of accelerators was completed in just one month.

In addition to the original team, extradimensional mages from various Holy Towers, with the highest academic and research capabilities, rushed to rush in, put down all projects, and went all out to overcome the fission chain reaction.

When developing the personal chip, the mage world only twisted part of the power into a rope and lent it to Adam, but now, all the resources of the entire world are at Adam's disposal.

The speed of research has increased rapidly, and the difficulties of each project have been solved as quickly as possible with the wisdom of everyone.

Of course, the cost of funds is also staggering, and the Mage Council allocates tens of millions of ether crystals for research and development on average every half a month.

With so much money to master and consume, Adam also had a lot of pressure, and he knew he had to make results as quickly as possible.

Half a year later, when the twelfth tranche of funds ran out, Adam and all the mages in the institute cheered at the same time, and they finally made the first atomic bomb in the mage world, with a yield of two million tons.
