"Iroh, since you have taken over the Northwest Orc forces in place of Leviathan, and have cleared the obstacles near the two most powerful points, then this part of the task is also handed over to you...... With the help of the previous agreement with the Vola Empire, find a way to let the orc army pass through the Constantine Line and join the war between Havar and Tadoya!"

"Brooklyn, you use the fastest time to integrate the forces of the three major tribes, and when the army of the Northwest Orcs enters the interior of the continent, you will be responsible for receiving them!"

"In addition, Iroh, the two most powerful spots near the Principality of Stasi and the Holy Flame Tribe, you also have to speed up and clear them. ”

"I already know about UD-286, 10902 will cooperate with him to corrupt the Divine Light Great Enchantment, and let that Mind Flayer community come directly......"

"Edie, Lilia, and Bartlett, continue your previous work and do everything in your power to interfere with the Holy See of Dawn and prevent them from discovering our plans prematurely. ”

"Agathans, Suva, Leonard, it's up to you to interfere with the metal dragons. I've heard that the old guys in the Holy See have become restless lately, and Lilia and they may not be able to take care of the metal dragons anymore. ”

"Finally, O'Neien ...... I think you could meet with Iroh and his UD-286, which should help you in your research. Once you've made a breakthrough, try to create new turmoil in the southeast of the continent. ”

"I, on the other hand, will be familiar with my talents. At that time, I will be personally responsible for the Holy Judgment Venerable!All in all, the peak of energy located in the Holy See and the Holy Dragon City is the most difficult to overcome. Only when you do a good job of preparing in the early stage can we be sure to break through these two places!"

While recalling the plan that Yan had arranged in the conclave not long ago, Iroh once again put on the disguise and restraint of human appearance, and left Shedlock, a small city south of Falkenridge.

Many people used to shy away from the city because they believed that the town was once a refuge for demons. The reason for this is the smell of a large number of sulphur bogs in the west of the city and the dormant volcano in the east.

However, after the influence of the Cult of the Flame Dragon spread here, this superstition was easily dispelled: the members of the Helio-Optical Society told the people about the hidden interests in the Brimstone Swamp, and the once disgusted city was now a thriving place.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Solar Optics Society is stationed here.

The reason why the Solar Optics Society came here was not because of any sulfur mines, but because at the southern end of the city, there was almost another mine on the Falkenridge border.

- To be precise, only a handful of people in the Solar Optics Society regard it as a mine, and even many ordinary believers in the Yanlong Church don't understand why those scholars would be interested in a "useless" cave.

At this moment, Elo's target is not this seemingly important mine, but a secret experimental base located under the volcano in the eastern part of the city.

The surface part is covered by a volcano and is also a secret territory of Saramondo, and the underground part is protected by its own nuclear power, which Iroh believes is quite secretive.

"Your Excellency. ”

In the conference room of the experimental base, Yang, a female scholar who had not seen each other for a while, saluted respectfully towards Iro.

That's right, the top person in charge of this base is Jan, one of the first four members of the Solar Optics Society!

"Don't say anything superfluous, I'm here to hear your latest progress. Iroh casually took out a small jade dragon statue with a lot of weight and played with it, and looked at Yang who had entered middle age with deep eyes.

This woman who is bent on knowledge, although time has consumed her beauty, her intellectual temperament has also become more and more charming under the effect of time.

"Noele told me that your research on nuclear fission has progressed, right?"

Iroh's gentle words are tantamount to a bombshell to the world.

This means that from a certain moment on, this accumulation of magic has gone far beyond the world of material accumulation, and has quietly changed the trajectory of its operation.

Although Iroh has long been able to cause nuclear fission and create a fission bomb with his own power, it is still his own unique ability. If you want to give this power to more people, you have to do something......

Therefore, more than ten years ago, Iroh, who had just mastered nuclear fission, started a study on this issue with scholars from the Helio-Optical Society.

Luckily, because Iroh already has the power of nuclear fission, the scholars only need to work backwards based on the results.

In addition, Iroh has been sparing no effort to provide a large number of experimental resources with faith points over the years, so it was not long ago that the mystery of nuclear fission was officially grasped by scholars.

Speaking of nuclear fission, of course, uranium should be mentioned first. This substance, which once appeared in the records of the relics of the Hidden Age, was different from the plutonium in Iroh's body, but it was very similar in many places.

At least if used to make nuclear weapons, a fission bomb made from a uranium-based nuclear charge is only slightly less powerful than a bomb made from a plutonium-based nuclear charge.

What's more, Noele also found relevant records, pointing out that plutonium bullets are more powerful than uranium bullets, but they are not easy to control.

Therefore, for the current Yanlong Church, making uranium bombs is a more suitable choice.

Naturally, that mine in the south of Shedlock is actually a uranium mine!

Something isolated from that rare and beautiful yellow or green exotic ore was originally thought to be real uranium. But Epstein, the orc who was also an original member of the Heliographic Society, quickly sensed that something was wrong.

Based on the nature of the "uranium" and the information Noelet had found in the records, Aphestein suggested that the "uranium" may be a uranium compound rather than a true elemental metallic uranium.

He was very familiar with the knowledge of alchemy, and tried to reduce this compound with another metal element, and after many tests in a row, he succeeded in obtaining uranium metal, which is an important raw material that can really be used to make nuclear weapons!

But the discovery was deliberately hidden, mainly for the reason that uranium was too hard to obtain.

According to the material school, uranium is undoubtedly a rare metal. Although Epstein asserted that uranium was abundant in the earth's crust, it was difficult for even the top alchemist team led by Epstein in the Helio-Optics Society to produce uranium because of the difficulty of extracting uranium, so every piece of uranium available was extremely valuable and could not withstand the slightest waste and destruction.

Don't forget that both the Metal Dragons and the Dawn Holy See regard the knowledge left over from the Hidden Age as taboo. If they know that the Yanlong Church can already make uranium, then they still have to?

Incidentally, despite its widespread distribution in the earth's crust, it has long been believed that uranium can only be extracted from two common deposits.

Recently, however, Jan and her team have broken this stereotype and discovered uranium, a natural metal, in nature.

She and her research team systematically studied the composition and valence of the uranium mine in the southern part of Shedlock, using a combination of magical and material methods, and found that uranium is not only in the form of compounds, but also in the form of metallic elements.

Now that the raw materials are available, then in order to create nuclear weapons, one needs methods, or - core ideas.

This is the nuclear fission that Iroh has mastered.

Although Iroh can provide the results of nuclear fission reactions, he does it more instinctively than he understands the principle, just like people are born with blinking eyes and drinking water, but they can do it, but they don't know why.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go for nuclear fission to be truly mastered by Iroh's men.

And all this is still thanks to the efforts of Jan and Turner.

As Noelle further deciphered the records in the ruins, research into uranium-based radioactive elements was secretly carried out within the Helio-Optics Society.

As part of their research on radioactive elements, the two scholars, who are no longer young, considered that the essence of nuclear fission should be the splitting of the atomic nucleus, and they initially tried to create atoms heavier than uranium in order to make the atomic structure unstable, and then split.

The specific method is to try to bombard uranium atoms with free microscopic particles, and some of these protons will hit the uranium nucleus and stick to it, thus producing elements heavier than uranium. It didn't seem too difficult, but it never worked.

They tested their methods with other heavy metals, and each time the reaction was unexpected, everything happened according to the previous assumption, but when it came to uranium, it didn't work. This matter has troubled the scholars of the Helio-Optics Society for a long time.

From the point of view of the microscopic particle branch of the material school, it makes no sense that atoms heavier than uranium cannot exist. However, scholars have tried many times, and none of them have been successful. Apparently, something happened during the experiment that they were not aware of. Young and Turner finally realized that new experiments were needed to explain what exactly happened when they bombarded uranium nuclei.

With Iroh's help, Turner enlists Noele to first mimic the scene Ielo saw in the illusion, bombarding uranium with a stream of magical particles, but getting nothing that seems useful.

Strangely, however, after the bombardment, Turner discovered that there was much more uranium than at the beginning of the experiment. Confused, he asked Jan and other scholars to help him explain what was going on.

With the joint efforts of many people, the helio-optical society finally found the answer: in fact, the mass of the atom did increase, which made the uranium nucleus very unstable, and thus split. Soon after, a series of experiments were carried out to prove that when free microscopic particles bombarded uranium, each uranium atom split into two parts, and this process also released a huge amount of energy.

In this way, the mystery of nuclear fission was finally truly grasped.
