Seeing that the Holy Maiden had made a decision, Joshua stopped trying to persuade him, and his worries about the wizards suddenly eased a lot.
In this case, it is only a matter of time to regain the kingdom!
"Has the candidate for the next Saint been decided?" Lucia asked.
"This is the list of candidates..." The Pope gently stroked the scepter in his hand, and five humanoid images appeared in the Tower of the Sky.
They are all girls between 16 and 18 years old, with impeccable appearance, identity, status and talents. Four of them are very devout in their beliefs, and have achieved bishop-level spiritual power under the careful training of the local church.
Lucia was a little surprised by the remaining person. The other person was not a nun, but a member of the God's Punishment Army. Logically speaking, she should not be eligible for selection.
"This is Ivina Pedrol, the second daughter of Viscount Pedrol of the Eastern Seaport Town. She passed the selection of the God's Punishment Army two years ago. Although her psychic talent is slightly inferior, she has He has extraordinary combat intuition and was specially recommended to me by the commander of the God’s Punishment Army.” The Pope explained respectfully.
"The Eastern Seaport Town is the place that was almost burned by the fire of hell?" Lucia paused and said in surprise.
This incident was a big deal, and naturally it reached her ears. She heard that it was about a great wizard who had been lurking in the empire for a long time. It was Edwell who arrived in time to expel him. Previously, the Holy See had already Such a tragedy has not happened in many years!
"Not bad!" The Pope nodded and then continued. "The eldest son of the Pedrol family was killed by the wizard in that catastrophe. Ivina's joining of the God's Punishment Army should also have something to do with this."
"Is this another revenge drama?" Lucia was quite bored, and after hearing Ivina's information, she didn't pay much attention.
No matter how powerful your fighting talent is, it is just the icing on the cake, only psychic ability is the foundation of everything!
Lucia randomly selected a candidate that she liked, then waved her hand and said with a sigh of relief. "You guys go down, I'm sleepy and need a rest."
The two people present nodded and saluted, and quickly exited the Sky Tower.
After the presiding judge Joshua walked out of the tower, he couldn't help but sigh. "It's a pity that the kingdom fell at this time."
As long as there are three to five years left, the goal of one million devout believers will be achieved.
Those wizards chose this time to create a rebellion in the kingdom, causing tens of thousands of devout believers to die under weapons and persecution. Their plan may need to be delayed again...
"It doesn't matter. Since His Majesty is willing to personally take action to eliminate the Wizards' Council, the archenemy of the Holy See, it may not be a bad thing." The Pope said in a calm tone.
After seeing the power of God, the people of the kingdom will naturally return to the embrace of the Lord...
…
[Hadera Tower] In a strict laboratory in the royal capital, Orlando, Philip and more than thirty wizards of the Iyeta school are busy drawing a huge alchemical circle underground.
While everyone was busy drawing the electromagnetic array, Lin En was not idle either. After preliminary testing, it was found that the uranium content in the outer shell of the Devil's Stone was as high as over 95%!
Of course, not all uranium is suitable for use as a nuclear weapon.
Natural uranium ore has three isotopes, namely uranium-234, uranium-235 and uranium-238.
Among them, uranium-238 has the highest content, accounting for more than 99%. Unfortunately, it is not a practical nuclear fuel. This thing has a long half-life of hundreds of millions of years. It is not feasible to force it to undergo nuclear fission. An easy thing.
Uranium-235 is different. It is the only isotope in nature that can naturally fission. Its radioactivity is 6.5 times that of uranium-238. It is the most important fuel for nuclear weapons!
It’s just that natural reserves are very rare. There are only seven uranium-235 for every thousand uranium atoms!
Uranium-234 is even less, only 0.0054%!
In fact, the principle of nuclear weapons is also very simple. It is to let a neutron hit a fissionable atom like uranium-235, forcing it to split into two smaller atoms. During the fission process, several redundant neutrons will be produced. The particles are fired at other uranium-235, causing a chain reaction that causes all the nuclear fuel to fission in a short period of time.
According to the mass-energy equation, the mass loss caused by the atom splitting process will be converted into a large amount of energy and released. This is the so-called nuclear explosion!
However, although this principle sounds simple, it is not so easy to actually do it.
When testing the uranium content, Lin En discovered a thorny problem, that is, he was unable to use the [Advanced Substance Deconstruction Technique] to decompose the element uranium!
This discovery made Linn extremely surprised. After becoming a great wizard, he used this technique to analyze the forty-nine known elements in the Wizarding Land.
Before, Lin En thought that with his current strength, no atoms would be able to escape his magical influence. Unexpectedly, he encountered a tough problem this time...
However, uranium is indeed somewhat different from the elements discovered by wizards before. First of all, this thing is a radioactive element with a chemical symbol of U and an atomic number of 92. It belongs to the special actinium series in the periodic table of elements and was also found in nature in previous lives. The heaviest element found…
Lin En pondered for a while and guessed that it was possible that all the actinides, that is, the 15 radioactive elements with atomic numbers 89 to 103 in the periodic system IIIB group, could not be analyzed with the power of the great wizard.
This may be why they have never been discovered...
Thinking of this, Linn felt somewhat helpless. This meant that his previous dream of using magic to mimic uranium-235 to unleash unlimited nuclear explosions was shattered.
Now we can only use a slightly more scientific method to harness its power...
Alok and others, who had been busy all night, drew the last electromagnetic symbol on the ground. After confirming that it was correct, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Dean, the electromagnetic array you need has been arranged." Alok wiped the sweat from his head and spoke with great excitement.
"Very good, then get ready to start!" Lin En stepped forward, and after confirming that there was no problem with the array, he used [Mage's Hand] to send the 'Devil's Stone' to the center of the array, and then started alchemy Array.
The next moment, the complex inscriptions carved on the ground lit up one by one, incandescent lightning appeared inside the magic circle, the hissing sound of arcs striking dust continued to sound in the secret room, and the powerful and violent power of thunder was Tightly bound within a magic circle with a radius of about three meters, they quickly gathered towards the demon stone placed in the center...
