Chapter 52: The Hydrogen Bomb
In the main control room, including Feng Yu, president of the Academy of Sciences, Qi Sixian, president of the Weapons Research Institute, and many academicians and scholars, everyone looked solemn.
It was the first practical atomic bomb to be developed after many nuclear tests and many improvements.
The so-called practical atomic bomb is of course different from the atomic bomb that Wei Qingyang blew up the Sky Breaking Sword Formation.
There is one of the biggest hurdles to make an atomic bomb, and that is how to improve the fission efficiency of uranium-235 and involve as many uranium-235 elements as possible in fission.
Like Wei Qingyang's original spontaneous fission atomic bomb, don't look at the full 50 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium-235, but when it finally exploded, the uranium element that finally participated in the fission was probably only a few grams, and the rest of the nuclear materials were blown away at the moment of explosion, and it was too late to participate in fission.
Such a so-called atomic bomb is not only less powerful, but also expensive and not practical.
The current atomic bomb adopts the newly developed "gun" structure, using high-strength energetic materials such as all-nitrogen anionic salts as the initiating charge, and the internal neutron source, neutron reflector and other equipment are all equipped, and the fissile material used is not even one-tenth of Wei Qingyang's atomic bomb, but the power has increased by more than ten times.
What needs to be tested now is how much damage it can do to monks at the peak of the Spirit Body Realm. Only by establishing this point can we have a target for a possible future war against the monks.
Under the monitoring equipment, the Celestial Snake Demon will suddenly be unconscious, still eating and drinking, very comfortable.
"Professor Sky Snake, this weapon's weapon is a little different from the previous one, so you'd better be cautious."
A professor kindly persuaded through the intercom.
The Heavenly Snake Demon waved his big hand, stuffed a whole roast chicken into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it into his stomach: "Underestimate me, don't you?" Leave it all armed and come. ”
"That, that......"
The professor took a few moments, and realized that he really couldn't make the Celestial Serpent Demon General understand the power of this weapon through simple words, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
"And get started?"
"Hurry up, hurry up, after the test, Professor Ben is still in a hurry to find Hu Chonghai." This time, Professor Ben is going to bring ten roast suckling pigs, thirty braised ducks, and thirty roast chickens, and eat them in front of him, and don't give them to him at all, hum! ”
Qi Sixian, the director of the Weapons Research Institute, checked the situation and found that everything was normal, so he gave a serious order.
"Detonate!"
With this command, the electronic detonator immediately detonated the all-nitrogen anionic salt in the atomic bomb. In the middle of this, the tremendous pressure began to converge inward, and the fissile material reached a critical state almost instantly, and the next moment, an endless stream of light and heat, as well as radiation, collectively known as Gangfeng in this world, burst out in an instant.
The moment he felt the power of the explosion, the eyes of the Heavenly Snake Demon General bulged. He didn't even have time to swallow the braised duck in his mouth, so he screamed.
"What the hell! Help me! Yes! ”
In a hurry, he didn't even have time to activate the talisman magic weapon, so he could only rely on his own cultivation to resist.
In this instant, the power of the endless stars burst out from the jade mansion in his mind, and began to spread all over his body according to some mysterious law, and exerted all kinds of strange effects.
In the main control room, many professors looked nervous, staring closely at the monitoring screen in front of them, observing all kinds of data.
"Radiation is normal!"
"The temperature is as expected!"
"Normal pressure!"
"Neutron flow is normal!"
The explosion only lasted for a split second, but the Celestial Serpent Demon General felt as if he had spent his entire life.
He only remembered that he had been holding on, struggling to persevere, but he was still broken through by the fierce wind and extremely high temperature. He felt his body melt and his soul seemed to leave his body.
I don't know how long it took for the explosion to slowly subside. There is still some wind erosion, but the intensity has decreased a lot.
He felt as if he had been evacuated and fell to the ground.
In the control room, the professors were immediately in chaos.
"What about the people from the Life Sciences? What about people? What about Archon Gu? Come on! Let's go and see how Professor Snake is doing! ”
Professor Celestial Snake must not die!
He's going to die, what about our weapons testing work?
Let the Terran monks come?
There are only two monks at the peak of the spiritual body realm, Archon Gu Yunzhu and Head Hu Chonghai, and these two are busier than the other, where do they have time to come here to play in the mud? Besides, even if the two of them have time, who has the courage to let them come?
What if something happens and you kill someone?
After all the calculations, there is only one Professor Sky Snake who can do this job. It's cheap and affordable, and it's not too easy to use.
You don't want to die!
At this moment, countless professors and researchers are praying from the heart.
Many students and disciples of the School of Life Sciences wore thick protective clothing and immediately rushed towards the Heavenly Snake Demon General.
At this moment, the table beside him, roast pigs, fine wine, braised ducks, etc., had long since disappeared, leaving only a barely indistinguishable thing to the ground on the ground, twitching slightly from time to time.
The disciple was immediately overjoyed: "Professor Heavenly Snake is still alive!" And gas! ”
"Great!"
All the disciples cheered, and immediately wiped the various elixirs developed and researched by Gu Yunzhu towards the Heavenly Snake Demon's body and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Huh? Wait a minute! Professor Snake is talking! ”
"Don't make a sound! I'll listen! ”
The disciple leaned over carefully, and finally heard the words of the Heavenly Snake Demon General clearly, his eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears.
"I have sold my life for the sect master, I have blood for the sect mainstream, you can't kill me, you can't kill me......"
The disciple wiped away his tears and sobbed: "Professor Heavenly Snake, don't worry, don't worry, no one wants to kill you, you will be fine, we still have sixty-seven different models of weapons that have not been tested, you must not die!" ”
The eyes of the Heavenly Snake Demon General were also red. His lips quirmed, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He tilted his head and fainted.
"Professor Snake has fainted! Fainted! Send him to first aid! Fast! ”
The first real-life test of the atomic bomb yielded satisfactory results. Experiments have shown that for the peak cultivators of the Spirit Body Realm, within a range of 500 meters, they all have greater lethality. If the distance is shortened to fifty meters or even closer, if the monk does not have a relatively powerful talisman weapon, he can even be killed directly.
After the completion of the practical atomic bomb, the development of a practical hydrogen bomb was immediately put on the agenda.
Compared to the atomic bomb, the hydrogen bomb is much more complicated. The most important thing about this is that it requires a lot of mathematical calculations and a very precise manufacturing process.
The basic principle of the hydrogen bomb is well known, which is nothing more than compressing the fusion raw material and causing it to undergo an uncontrollable fusion reaction under high temperature and high pressure. But the principle is simple, but it is extremely difficult to make it.
The most critical point is that synchronous compression must be maintained in all directions. Just like a ball, to build a hydrogen bomb, pressure must be applied to all surfaces of the ball at the same time, and the pressure must be equal. As long as there is a slight desynchronization, the hydrogen bomb will not be able to detonate.
If the pressure in direction A is high and the pressure in direction B is small, then it is obvious that the fusion raw material will rush out from point B, and the required pressure and temperature will not be reached. If the timing of the compression is inconsistent, the same result will occur.
This is where the difficulty in creating a hydrogen bomb lies.
After solving this problem, the next thing to be solved is the miniaturization of the hydrogen bomb.
Even if a hydrogen bomb had been built with great painstaking efforts, it would obviously have no practical value if it was as big as a hill.
This puts forward higher requirements for materials science, engineering, precision, mathematical calculations, etc.
Thanks to the atomic bomb, many previously unavailable data are now available, and the development of the hydrogen bomb is progressing relatively smoothly.
After several more test explosions and many improvements, the first practical hydrogen bomb was finally built.
This time, the selected test personnel is still the Heavenly Snake Demon General.
Since the last time, the Celestial Serpent Demon General has had a deep fear of the job of a weapon tester. This time, after discovering that it was still a metal ball that was going to participate in the test, and that it was bigger and heavier than the previous one, the fear in my heart came over like a tide.
"I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it, I'm going to work as a coolie under Hu Chonghai, I'm going to work as a coolie!"
The Heavenly Snake Demon General cried and shouted to go out, and many professors from the Academy of Weapons Sciences hurriedly surrounded him.
"Professor Celestial Snake, Professor Celestial Snake, don't get excited, don't get excited. This time the test distance is 10 kilometers, 10 kilometers! ”
"Archon Gu said, as long as you complete this experiment, you will double your living supply!"
"Our Weapons Research Institute is also willing to allocate some spirit stones and materials from the research funds to you!"
"Professor Celestial Snake, help!"
After everyone persuaded for a long time, the Heavenly Snake Demon General slowly calmed down. He looked at the professors with some suspicion and asked, "Really ten kilometers?" ”
"I can't lie to you!"
Qi Sixian, director of the Weapons Research Institute, patted his chest and made a guarantee.
"Doubling the supply of living?"
"A must!"
"Give me a portion of your money too?"
"Definitely!"
"Good!"
The Celestial Snake Demon General gritted his teeth and agreed.
With a distance of ten kilometers, as long as you are careful to deal with it, you should have no problem.
Although I am still a little scared in my heart, in the face of such a rich reward, I can only fight hard.
He sat down in the test position again with trepidation. And open all the talisman magic weapons early, and be on guard.
In the control room, Qi Sixian gave the order to detonate again.
The next moment, the terrible roar of the Heavenly Snake Demon General came from the listener.
"Qi Sixian! You play with me! Help me! Help me! ”
