15.5 The nucleus is coming
The year 666 of the electrical calendar.
Qianao Island Coconut Grove Port, once a small port of less than 10,000 people, has now expanded to 600,000 people. Ten years ago, it was painted with rows of wooden poles hanging from bamboo strips drying dried fish, but now there are rows of cooling towers and high-voltage power lines.
It's the world's largest electric city, and the vast majority of that electricity is sent to a mysterious factory in the city.
Centrifuges work around the clock to enrich uranium at the plant, where the 15 percent abundance of nuclear fuel rods for the heavy water reactor comes from.
Production lines for more than 30% enriched uranium have also been successful, and if 30% enriched uranium can be produced, then there is no technical threshold for obtaining 90% weapons-grade uranium. Of course, producing more than 15% enriched uranium is not as simple as distilling liquor.
From 15% to 90%, six times the concentration, but the price is 70 times different.
Zhao Xuanwei now has high-enriched uranium on hand capable of producing eight nuclear bombs. And in order to maintain the nuclear industry, Sandstorm Group has invested nearly 1,000 median professionals.
Practitioners are more likely to sense the burning sensation of neutron radiation than ordinary people. As long as the medical priest performs cell regeneration, it can be cured quickly.
However, within the Sandstorm Group, Bai Haoge, Rong Jietang, and Zhao Xuanwei still emphasized the mutation hazards of nuclear radiation to the producers here again and again.
In the entire nuclear industry system, the private life of staff members is strictly prohibited. The aim is to prevent radiation from destroying germ cells from binding and leaving genetic defects in offspring.
If you say such a scientific research, you may not be grounded, but directly say: "This is the root of the blood inheritance curse in the Moonfall Mountain Range recorded in history", which immediately made all the middle-level professionals accept the strict nuclear industry production system in horror.
……
In the 21st century, although the latest nuclear weapons of various nuclear powers have followed the route of advanced design of plutonium bombs in order to miniaturize. However, mastering the technology of centrifugal purification and enrichment of uranium is the standard configuration of nuclear powers, and it is indispensable to master it.
The plutonium bomb route is for a nuclear offensive, while the uranium enrichment route is the capability for a nuclear counterattack.
After the success of this technical route, it means that as long as you hide some centrifuges in the cave and connect them to the external power grid, you can get weapons-grade materials. It is difficult to find out the wiring of the power grid in the mountain, so it cannot be accurately attacked. In addition, the entire nuclear production line is highly secret, and the survival rate in a nuclear war is extremely high.
On the other hand, the target of the heavy water reactor is so fat that it will not survive the first nuclear strike.
As long as the centrifugal plant is not blown up, or thousands of tons of diesel fuel are directly generated in the cave, it can still use the stockpiled raw materials to make a big killer.
This is the reason why Su Ying still wants to engage in uranium bomb route after taking the plutonium bomb route. The aim is for sandstorms to have adequate nuclear deterrence in the future.
……
On a small island one hundred and thirty kilometers east of Qianao Island, a steel tower has been built, and all kinds of metal cages, as well as all kinds of tanks, chariot buildings, and ships have been prepared. The creatures involved in the experiment were crammed into various vehicles. There are ordinary creatures, as well as demonic creatures that mimic the lineage.
That is, the big demon who was captured by Su Ying in Cuiyu Harbor, and the experimenters of the Sandstorm Group used the spores on his body to infect various creatures such as primates, fish, artiodactyls, and yuan birds.
Even the Great Demon itself was locked in a concrete building to participate in nuclear tests.
Bai Haoge just wanted to see that creatures with different spiritual element content reacted in a nuclear explosion, and the higher the profession, the higher the spiritual element content in the professional's body. The spirit elements in demonic creatures do not form the regular lines of modern spell systems, but they can also simulate the damage suffered by professionals under a nuclear explosion.
All kinds of equipment and experimental products were prepared, and in the large nuclear industrial base of Coconut Grove Harbor, a nuclear weapon was sent to the ship under the protection of three teams of dragon guards.
The mid-level professionals in charge of escorting this superweapon are undergoing a final check.
……
The Iron Tower, on a cement building to the east.
The exterior tiles of the building are freshly pasted, and the interior is decorated with different types of flooring.
At the top of the building, Zhao Xincheng stood at the top of the commanding height, focusing on the surroundings of the firearms, while chatting with each other through the communication system on the individual armor.
Zhao Xincheng looked at the port in front of him, the surrounding road vehicles were in normal condition, and reported in the communication group: "This is the 73rd observation position, and everything is normal. ”
The communication reported: "This is Observation Point 69, and everything is normal. ”
Zhao Xincheng: "Tian Mi, be serious. ”
Tian Mi: "I'm serious, captain, what exactly do you say we are escorting?" When His Royal Highness Su Ying entered Taiyun, he didn't have this treatment. ”
Zhao Xincheng: "You ask me, who do I ask, who do you know what the mechanics of the Rong family have come up with?" "-Anything related to machinery, the people below guess that it is related to the Rong family.
"Be serious, don't gossip." It was Ye Ge who spoke.
Ye Ge: Profession Great Wall, after Su Ying communicated with the captains of Zhening, he was taught from their descendants. Now one of the three Dragon Guard warbands.
"Yes head." The two dragon guards saluted their Great Wall from a distance of several kilometers as normal subordinates.
Ye Ge pushed his eyepiece, took a breath and said: "Miss Zhao (nuclear weapons codename, why do you take this codename, because Zhao Xuanyu is a dead sister control) escorted by the Rong family has Cheng Chi, you all have to be careful when you speak." ”
Ye Ge stared at the escort convoy on the highway between the ship dock and the experimental site.
At this time, on the third truck of the convoy, Rongsu wearing a mechanical suit sat on the top of the vehicle, Rongsu seemed to sense Ye Ge who was looking at him on the building a few hundred meters away, nodded with a smile in the direction of the building in the distance, and waved his hand.
Rongsu is the Great Wall, and there are three Great Wall escorts that the Rongjia family is now involved in.
Now those high-ranking professionals of the Rong family are still kept secret by Bai Haoge and Rong Jue, and they are all managers of the industrial production department.
Ye Ge looked at the melted plastic in the convoy, took a deep breath, and said silently in his heart: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" ”
He immediately said to his team members in the newsletter: "You all cheer up, we are being watched, and I don't want to hear from the leaders of other units that our group has a bad attitude on duty." ”
Tian Mi: "Head, what is Miss Zhao?" You should have news. ”
Ye Ge paused and said, "According to the confidentiality regulations, I will not be able to inform you until four hours later. Now, I said it in advance. ”
Ye Ge meant: "Be tight, what Lao Tzu told you in advance, don't spread it around." ”
As for why Ye Ge dared to violate discipline, because he was the Great Wall. The Great Wall is a super soldier, discipline or something, half of it depends on self-consciousness.
Ye Ge cleared his throat and explained: "According to the above, this is a superweapon that spans the ages, and it will be better than all the bombs in the past. It is not the chemical energy that is extracted, but the energy in the more essential structure of the substance. Name: Fission Element Bomb. ”
Ye Ge was not clear about the concept of nuclear weapons, he just knew that this was a mythical superweapon in the Hundred Saints Era. Now he boasts about this sci-fi concept with his companions on hearsay.
Before the nuclear explosion, most of the Sandstorm group humans were ignorant. For them, the future is bright. Because they have seekers in their camp, they have luck.
But in the steel cage 500 meters outside the tower, for the great demon who woke up from 50,000 years ago, the future is dim, and the upcoming fate is tragic.
The demons were a powerful race in ancient times, and their thinking and culture were completely power-worshipping.
Their camp does not tolerate wisdom, exploration and sincere cooperation. Therefore, it is inevitable that they will not enjoy the luck brought by progress and development.
As for the demon doing live experiments, will there be a moral problem now? Twenty thousand years ago, in the era of equality and fraternity, there may have been a problem in doing this, but now for humans after the "collapse of civilization", isn't it normal to experiment with demons?
Su Ying's attitude: "This guy who has been living for 50,000 years has killed a lot of people in Cuiyu Port, so he should have been dragged to the shooting range and shot." Now to send it to a nuclear test is to lift it. ”
At the top of the iron tower, five hundred meters outside the Great Demon Iron Cage, was the Iron Throne of 'Miss Zhao'.
In another six hours, 'Miss Zhao' will unleash her charm with all her strength at an altitude of one hundred and fifty meters, trampling all the energy reaction levels on the surface of the entire planet under her feet.
Seeing the humans outside the cage, the huge demon struggled hard, but was powerless.
The demon's body was firmly locked in thick metal restraint armor, and its mouth was gagged with a black ball.
This mouth ball is the size of a basketball, and in order to defend against the demon's acidic corrosion, the researchers directly built it with a platinum shell, which can be said to be a bloody investment. If you don't stuff your mouth, this big demon will surely roar loudly: "Despicable and lowly humans" and something like that.
You must know that the Great Demon was taken captive to the laboratory of the Sandstorm Group, and his mouth was not to speak, but he also attacked humans with an infrasound sound. Uncle Bai Haoge, who was visiting this goods in the laboratory with great interest at that time, also had a temper, and with a wave of his hand, he took out the project funds and ordered a set of steel restraint clothes for the big demon.
Now the big demon is struggling frantically with knotted muscles in the cage, but the alloy steel cage forged by modern industry is much stronger than the iron cage produced in ancient times, not to mention the gap between steel materials and wrought iron, just say that each steel bar on the steel fence has a diameter of forty centimeters. Tsk, the demon's muscular power is like a grasshopper shaking a tree, and as for the acid on the wound, it can't bring enough damage to this chrome-plated steel structure in the short term.
A group of people in white coats are doing the final test of the Archdemon's physical condition, and the tank they operate uses a robotic arm to insert a needle the thickness of a child's arm and a pencil-thick needle into the Archdemon's buttocks, draw blood, and inject drugs. Enthusiastically make the final experimental preparations.
A series of thumb-sized metal instruments were inserted, which were used to detect changes in blood pressure, body temperature, and radiation levels in the demon's body under the influence of strong radiation. In order to effectively measure the body reaction of the Great Demon, a metal rod simply stabbed directly into the demon's excretory mouth.
……
The reason why this archdemon was treated so roughly was because the way its spores symbiosis multiple genes had been figured out. It's — it's useless!
In Sandstorm Group's biological laboratory, spores have been used to culture joint organs where cells of various organisms coexist. In the base of Cuiyu Port, Sandstorm Port took over the original Penghai official mountain base, and even cultivated a number of new strong giant horn individuals in the mountain base.
Tianjian pity this big demon has been controlled by the Li family, the Zhang family and other wealthy families in the local port for forty years, but he has not been able to get out the life development of the giant demon.
After the sandstorm incident, these local wealthy families were hit hard, and the research progress in recent years has directly swooped out.
In fact, the researchers are still the researchers of those local families. Guangling just asked Zhao Xuanyu to adjust the system.
Now as long as the experiment is done in the whole laboratory, it must be recorded in the archives, there is no so-called private experiment, and no one uses the name of the clan to take advantage of the technological achievements, and in accordance with the system, the reward funds are publicly awarded, the authority to preside over the laboratory is publicly reviewed, and the intellectual property rights of scientific research achievements are protected by legislation.
In order to seize the dominance of the biological laboratory, these technicians of the former family began to take out the data locked in the safe, and then began to work in large teams.
And in the face of the competitive pressure of the young research team, those old researchers can't take care of their children, and join forces with their past rivals, racing against time to get the results out first, wanting to determine their supervisory position in the scientific research institute and get the decision-making power of project funds.
The accumulation of personal ideas of these researchers for decades has all been hooked up by sandstorms.
Under the family system, most of the talents are hidden, so the sky can shine. But now, there are many capable people.
To a certain extent, the changes in Cuiyu Port, the Li family and the Zhang family, the two spiritual masters and biologist families who were hit hard and were regarded as the culprits by the Penghai Minister, have been revived as the disciples of the family gradually entrenched in a large number of scientific research positions in the Sandstorm Group and controlled a large amount of capital flow.
However, to another extent, the two families of Cuiyu Port have also disappeared completely.
Because although the medical industry and food industry in Cuiyu Port are still members of the eight major families such as the Li family and the Zhang family, each industry is no longer a store under the name of the family, but a store under its own name. The annual operating income of these industries is no longer reported to the family, but to the Sandstorm Group (regime), and the raw material channels and sales channels no longer rely on the power of the family, but the market arrangements under the command of the Sandstorm Group.
The concept of family is gradually weakening under the impact of the times.
……
As the sun sets over the sea to the west, nuclear weapons have been placed on the towers and all staff have been evacuated from the testing range.
In the city, all kinds of experimental creatures seem to sense something, and they are restless. It was as if there was a thick hostility everywhere in the air. It's as if the whole world is carrying out a grand conspiracy against them.
A huge electronic quartz clock hangs from the building, counting down with red numbers.
