Chapter 390: Methods of Manipulating Uranium and Nuclear Explosion Magic
How to separate the scarce amount of uranium-235 from a high-concentration uranium mine is the first step in making a nuclear weapon.
Generally speaking, the commonly used are gas diffusion method, centrifugal method, nozzle method, laser method, etc., the first two are most suitable for large-scale industrial applications.
It's just that Lynn uses the electromagnetic separation method this time, which has a much higher separation coefficient than a gas centrifuge, and the most important thing is that the wizards have the power to control the thunder and lightning, which will make the whole process much easier.
Furious lightning filled the entire alchemy circle, the temperature continued to rise, and soon reached the melting point of uranium, and under the gaze of everyone, the solid demon stone gradually melted under the impact of thunder, turning into a red and viscous liquid......
Regardless of continuing to increase the power of the thunder, at a high temperature of more than 4,000 degrees, the liquefied uranium was soon sublimated into a gaseous state, and finally plasma, completely integrated into the raging thunder.
An invisible barrier of magic power rose from the edge of the circle, and the next moment, the entire alchemy circle turned into a huge drum, and the plasmized uranium inside began to rotate at an extremely high speed, and under the action of centrifugal force, the uranium isotope plasma with a larger mass gradually enriched in the radial direction, so that several isotopes with slightly different masses would be distinguished!
However, this process is far from being as easy as said, Lynn has mobilized almost all the computing power, and even used the [Overload Mode], and the mental power level has been increased from the fourth ring to the fifth ring, and the situation can barely be maintained.
Erok on the side watched all this nervously, the violent thunder power in the formation made him feel a burst of shock, if these official wizards were involved, it would definitely be ten deaths!
The whole process lasted for more than forty minutes, and the power of thunder in the magic circle began to gradually dissipate, Lynn opened his eyes, all the abnormalities had subsided, and in the center of the alchemy circle, there were only three magic balls left.
As soon as Lynn's mind moved, the magic ball spontaneously flew over and hovered around him, inside were three elements that existed in a gaseous mode.
The largest magic ball is uranium-238, followed by uranium-235, and finally a bonus - radium!
Yes, he didn't find uranium-234 in this small piece of demon stone—the amount of that thing was too small, but Lynn was pleasantly surprised by the discovery of radium.
This is also a radioactive element, and it is very critical, because the half-life of radium is only 1600 years, which is hundreds of thousands of times faster than uranium, which shows how radioactive it is, and many rays are found to be related to radium.
For uranium and radium, two extremely harmful elements, Lynn did not dare to slack off, and after separating them, he wrapped them in a magic ball, as for whether the magic power can block the rays, it needs to be further studied and tested.
At present, it is just a matter of comfort......
The second thing that made Lynn happy was that although he couldn't use the [Advanced Matter Deconstruction] to analyze and mimic these radioactive elements, it was still no problem to simply manipulate them.
It's just that manipulating them feels like going back to manipulating the elements as an apprentice, and you will feel tired and powerless, and the consumption of magic and mental power is very large.
Seeing that the experiment of elemental separation had been successful, Ellock and the others had begun to celebrate, perhaps the first to separate these elements from the Demon Stone.
"Everyone, it's a little early to celebrate, separating the elements is just the first step, and then we need to test their properties, mass, molecular weight, and density ......."
Lynn's words suppressed the excitement of the crowd and distributed the test items, while he took a piece of paper and began to build a spell model about the nuclear explosion......
It is too much trouble to create an atomic bomb entirely scientifically, and there are countless process problems to solve, so using the principle of nuclear explosion to develop magic is undoubtedly the best and fastest option......
The first is how to gather large amounts of uranium-235 together.
Electromagnetic restraint may work...... But after thinking about it carefully, Lynn crossed out the electromagnetic restraint again, because the strong electromagnetic field may affect the occurrence of the chain reaction.
Lynn thought about it for a while, and decided to use magic to mimic a solid element as a shell, that kind of strange snake scale protection is very good, I don't know which kind of monster's body structure is referenced, it is much stronger than steel......
This is followed by how the Neutron Source should be achieved by means of magic, which is the key to detonating a nuclear weapon......
In the end, you'll have to figure out how to project this thing far enough, or you'll be dooming the enemy!
Endless questions came to Lynn's mind, even with the help of the brain and the detailed knowledge theory in the federal database, but to turn the nuclear explosion into magic, Lynn also felt a big ......
……
In the next few days, the study of new elements and their inner structure has become a topic of heated discussion among all wizards, causing no small amount of confusion, with more than thirty experimental accidents occurring alone.
Fortunately, some 'small accidents' are not strange for wizards who are keen on research, whether it is a formal wizard who presides over the experiment, or an apprentice who has started to work, once the situation is not right, one runs faster than the other, and all kinds of protection are also in place, and no one has died because of this.
Only one hapless wizard tried to use the explosion to shatter the atom, and in the process of miscalculating the dose, he was blown off an arm, but after drinking a bottle of potion that was reborn with a severed limb, he did not delay at all, and returned to research......
It wasn't until the evening of the third day, when the council convened to share the latest research results, that the wizards reluctantly walked out of the laboratory.
Recently, such seminars have become more and more frequent, and the methods that used to be studied and pondered slowly by each other are no longer suitable.
After all, the threat posed by the Holy See is imminent, and any discovery is very important, and frequent exchanges can also help to blow out inspiration.
Thanks to frequent exchanges and experiments, since the theory of elemental separability was proposed, in just one week, two people have been nominated for the Order of the Morning Star, which shows how much attention the council attaches to it.
By the time Lynn arrived at the conference room, it was already crowded, and many wizards looked to have disheveled hair and heavy dark circles under their eyes, apparently because they had been staying up late for a long time to conduct experiments, and he happened to be the last to arrive......
