Levi directly ignored Li Qingye's Versailles, but looked at the large pile of sludge in front of him, his eyes full of excitement.

100 kilograms of uranium coarse material contains about 0.8 kilograms of uranium, and after the uranium-rich bacteria removed part of the uranium-238, only 75 grams of uranium are left.

Among the 75 grams of uranium, the content of uranium-235 is about 7.5%, that is, about 5.6 grams, and the rest is uranium-238.

Don't look at this concentration is not high, but in the opinion of Levi, a nuclear physics major, this concentration is simply breaking through the sky.

After all, the uranium-235 concentration of civilian-grade nuclear reactors is generally below 5%.

In other words, after the mud is extracted, it can be directly used as nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors.

That's why Levi's marveled at the technology, which was cheap, efficient, and very hidden.

Using this technology, even a small rookie country like Honsavady, which has very poor supporting facilities, can produce a high concentration of weapons-grade uranium-235.

In fact, the design principle of the atomic bomb can be found on many nuclear physics academic websites, except for the principle of the hydrogen bomb, which is partially blocked, the principle of other nuclear reactions is not difficult to find.

Levi could even design a hydrogen bomb.

But that's not the point.

The key to nuclear weapons lies in uranium enrichment technology.

At present, the more efficient industrial uranium enrichment technology is the centrifugal separation method, which has a huge threshold, not only the investment is not small, but also the movement is not small.

The reason why Persia and North Korea carried out nuclear experiments can be quickly discovered by the great powers is because the centrifugal separation method must use a large number of multi-stage ultra-high-speed centrifuges, which not only occupy a very large area, but also consume a very large amount of electricity.

Large-scale uranium enrichment facilities can be discovered simply through satellite remote sensing.

As for building facilities in mountains or underground, this plan obviously does not work, mainly because the scale is too large, and this kind of underground facilities cannot be affordable by ordinary small countries, and those who have the ability to build underground facilities do not need to be sneaky.

Levi is now very excited, he is not the kind of pacifist who was blacklisted by Western academic institutions in Luzon for his pro-nuclear rhetoric.

His concept is very radical, believing that only by possessing nuclear weapons can small countries resist the bullying of foreign powers, even if they cannot build nuclear bombs, they must build a large number of nuclear power plants, and use nuclear power plants to coerce foreign powers to throw a mouse.

When Li Qingye secretly invited him, this guy directly threw himself into his arms.

For the sake of his dream, he divorced his wife, then faked his death and left, and came to a small ravine in Honsavady.

Today, Levi's finally saw hope.

Meeting room at the base.

Li Qingye, Kevin, Wu Hu, Levi and others gathered together.

Kevin calculates the current uranium feedstock reserves: "Based on the current uranium crude stockpiles, we can refine 170 kilograms of uranium-235 from them.

"Dr. Levi, how many atomic bombs can be produced from 170 kilograms of uranium-235?" Li Qingye asked.

Levi thought for a while: "If you use relatively primitive and mature technology, 50 kilograms of uranium-235 can make one atomic bomb with a yield of 300,000, and 170 kilograms can make three." ”

After listening to this data, Li Qingye thought for a while, and then made a decision: "OK, I understand, then use the mature old-fashioned process to make three atomic bombs with a yield of 300,000 tons first." ”

"Lee, how do we experiment? After all, I have only studied the theoretical framework of this thing, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems in practical application. Levi reminded with some hesitation.

Li Qingye shook his head: "In a short period of time, the live-fire test will definitely not work, how about using laser focusing experiments and graphite slow neutron reactors?" ”

"Laser focus? This can solve part of the problem, and I am also working on the graphite slow neutron reactor, but compared to the live bomb detonation test, there may be some errors. Levi said helplessly.

Li Qingye was not disappointed in this regard: "It's good that we can test the data, we can't confront the great powers head-on in a short period of time, at least 100 atomic bombs must be reserved, or hydrogen bombs can be developed before we can conduct live-fire tests." ”

"Speaking of hydrogen bombs, can our bioenrichment refine heavy water?" Levi asked.

Li Qingye touched his chin: "This time in the process of developing uranium-rich bacteria, I found more than a dozen special gene sequences, which can effectively distinguish small differences in isotopes. ”

"Then I propose to build a batch of heavy hydrogen enrichment plants, anyway, now we already have uranium bombs for nuclear fission, which can be used as an atomic trigger for nuclear fusion."

Li Qingye turned his head: "Kevin, you are responsible for the implementation, under the pretext of producing seaweed and methane, to open another batch of heavy hydrogen enrichment plants." ”

"Yes, boss." Kevin nodded.

After the meeting.

Li Qingye was still in the base of the Black Tiger Canyon, and he was thinking about another question.

That's the issue of vehicles.

To constitute a nuclear deterrent, it is not enough to have a nuclear bomb, but also to have a powerful long-range delivery vehicle.

In fact, Homo sapiens is already working on this.

For example, the Typhoon series of cruise missiles developed by the former subsidiary, Flying Fish.

Of course, if he could, Li Qingye also wanted Homo sapiens to have an official ICBM.

He looked through the various technologies on the biolaptop, hoping to integrate the technology that Homo sapiens currently has that could be applied to ICBMs.

First of all, there is no need to worry too much about nuclear warheads, although the nuclear bombs produced by the old process have a lower nuclear fuel utilization rate than the latest modern technology, but the deterrence is stronger.

After all, the older the process, the more serious the radioactive residue after detonation, and to some extent, it is also an advantage for the opponent to throw a mouse.

Now the key is the vehicle itself.

"Maybe ......" After seeing the crystal sponge technology, he suddenly thought of a plan.

Modern intercontinental missiles are mainly divided into two types of fuel, one is a solid fuel type, and the other is a liquid fuel type that can be stored at room temperature.

Usually solid fuels occupy the vast majority, while liquid fuels are used on high-thrust space launch vehicles.

The main reason for this is that liquid fuels are either not suitable for long-term storage or are highly toxic.

However, Homo sapiens' crystal sponge technology can store methane, and after storage, it can remain solid at room temperature and pressure, and the storage time is very long.

Compared with the missiles or launch vehicles currently used by various countries, if the crystal sponge is used as a fuel storage tank, the production process and supporting facilities will be much lower.

The more Li Qingye thought about it, the more he felt that this direction was good.

He quickly asked the Honsavady branch to find a small mountain basin in the northern state of Kachin to serve as a research and development base for methane rocket engines.

Of course, this base can also take on the future space industry of Homo sapiens.

In the near future, Li Qingye will stay in Honshawady, on the one hand, in order to adjust the layout of various industries, rocket engines, missiles, and aerospace industries are the key.

On the other hand, it is also to look at Honsavady and see the development of this division.

Upon receipt of his instructions, the Honsavady branch also quickly implemented them.

This mode of operation is also one of the current advantages of Homo sapiens, there are no internal people who are ripping and filling their pockets, and the utilization rate of various resources has skyrocketed.
