Chapter 42: Circle of Friends (3)
Cobalt: Recently, one of my isotope brothers, Cobalt 60, had a lot of fun in the world, and three of them died of radiation, injuring a large area, which made me panic too.

Uranium: Awesome, radioisotope brothers!
Cobalt replied to Uranium: Wow, great god! Your radioisotope brothers are also superb, and they are the materials used by humans to make atomic bombs.
Plutonium replied to Uranium: Great God! Among our chemical element brothers, Brother Uranium was the first to be used as an atomic bomb by humans.
Uranium reverts to plutonium: You are also one of the main components of the atomic bomb, and your radioisotope brother plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,100 years, which is more powerful than my radioisotope brother uranium-235.
Uranium replied to cobalt: Brother Cobalt, human beings favor you, use the gamma rays you emit to breed and sterilize, cobalt god, introduce us to it.
Cobalt: Okay, here's the autobiography of our Cobalt family.
We have many isotope brothers in the cobalt family.
Among them, the most famous one is Cobalt 60.
Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope of our cobalt family.
Originally, we had very little cobalt-60 in nature, but in order to use us for breeding and sterilization, human beings have found a way to produce radioactive cobalt-60.
Non-radioactive cobalt-59 is put into a nuclear reactor, and the nucleus captures a neutron, which becomes radioactive cobalt-60.
After cobalt-60 is removed from the reactor and wrapped in two layers of stainless steel in a hot chamber, it forms a cobalt radioactive source that is needed by humans.
Cobalt-60 produces gamma rays during decay.
Unlike ordinary spot lights and candle light, which are generated by the movement of electrons outside the nucleus, these gamma rays are photons emitted when the nucleus transitions from a highly excited state back to a low excited or ground state during the decay process.
The killing effect of gamma rays on microorganisms is actually the process of energy transfer.
When gamma rays pass through a substance, the energy carried by the matter is absorbed by the matter, which can cause the ionization effect of the matter.
When gamma rays emitted by cobalt-60 are used to irradiate food, medicine, or even living animals, the outer electrons of the nucleus of these items absorb part of the energy of gamma rays, detach from the atoms, and the photons lose part of their energy to move forward, and the recoil electrons that are shot out continue to interact with matter to form ionization or excitation, and finally the electrons lose all their energy.
This is the Compton effect.
Humans use this effect to carry out various activities.
Gamma rays act directly on the nucleus of microorganisms, causing the chromosomes in the nucleus to be interrupted and killed.
Gamma rays are transmitted through energy, damaging organelles and inactivating enzymes, resulting in the death of microorganisms.
When gamma rays hit a living person, the human being will disintegrate from the inside out, just like a microorganism killed by the radiation.
Any living creature, without exception.
Plutonium replied to Cobalt: Wow, great god!
Cobalt replied to Plutonium: You're also a great god.
Hydrogen Returns Cobalt: How Do You Only Worship Heavy Metals? I have the most hydrogen in the universe.
Cobalt restores hydrogen: Brother hydrogen, you are the boss of our chemical elements, don't look at you lightly, but you are the most element in the universe, your amount is more than a hundred times the total amount of other chemical elements, I admire you the most.
Uranium reverts to hydrogen: Brother Hydrogen, you are the first in the list of chemical elements, and humans have also made up a song for our chemical element brothers, and the first one to sing is you.
