How to separate the rare uranium-235 from a piece of highly concentrated uranium ore is the first step in making nuclear weapons.
Generally speaking, the commonly used methods 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 this time Linn used electromagnetic separation method, whose separation coefficient is much higher than that of gas centrifuge. The most important thing is that wizards have the power to control thunder and lightning, which will make the whole process much more convenient.
Violent lightning filled the entire alchemy circle, and the temperature continued to rise. It soon reached the melting point of uranium. Under the gaze of everyone, the solid demon stone gradually melted under the impact of thunder, turning into Red and viscous liquid...
Lin En continued to increase the power of the thunder regardless. Under the high temperature of more than 4,000 degrees, the liquefied uranium quickly sublimated into gaseous state, and finally plasma, completely integrated into the violent thunder.
An invisible magic barrier rose from the edge of the magic circle. The next moment, the entire alchemical magic circle turned into a huge roller. The plasmaized uranium inside began to rotate at an extremely high speed. Under the action of centrifugal force, the mass was high. The large uranium isotope plasma is gradually enriched in the radial direction, so that several isotopes with slightly different masses will be distinguished!
However, this process was far from as easy as he said. Lin En mobilized almost all the computing power and even used the [Overload Mode], raising the level of mental power from the fourth ring to the fifth ring, and then barely maintained the situation. .
Alok watched all this nervously on the side. The violent thunder power in the formation made him feel frightened. If formal wizards like them were involved, they would definitely die!
The whole process lasted for more than forty minutes. The power of thunder in the magic circle began to gradually dissipate. Lin En opened his eyes. All the abnormalities had subsided. In the center of the alchemy magic circle, only three magic balls, one large, two small and three small, were left. .
As soon as Lin En thought, the magic ball flew over spontaneously and floated around him. Inside, there were three elements existing in gaseous mode.
Inside the largest magic ball is uranium-238, followed by uranium-235, and finally an unexpected surprise - radium!
Yes, he did not find uranium-234 in this small piece of Devil's Stone - the reserves of that thing were too small. Fortunately, the discovery of radium element surprised Linn even more.
This is also a radioactive element, and it is very critical, because the half-life of radium is only 1,600 years, which is hundreds of thousands of times faster than uranium. This shows how radioactive it is. The discovery of many rays is related to the radium element.
Regarding uranium and radium, two extremely harmful elements, Linn did not dare to neglect them at all. After separating them, he wrapped them in a magic ball. As for whether the magic power can block the rays, further research and testing are needed. .
For now, I'm just trying to comfort myself...
The second thing that pleased Linn was that although he could not use the [Advanced Material Deconstruction Technique] to analyze and mimic these radioactive elements, he could still simply control them without any problem.
It's just that controlling them feels like going back to controlling the elements during the apprenticeship. You will feel tired and powerless, and it consumes a lot of magic power and mental energy.
Seeing that the experiment of element separation has been successful, Airok and others have begun to celebrate. They may be the first to separate these elements from the Demon Stone.
"Everyone, it's a little early to celebrate now. Separating elements is only the first step. Next, we need to test their characteristics, mass, molecular weight and density..."
Lin En spoke to suppress everyone's excitement and distributed these test items. He took a piece of paper and began to think about building a spell model about nuclear explosion...
It is too troublesome to create an atomic bomb entirely using scientific means. There are countless process problems to be solved, so using the principles of nuclear explosions to develop magic is undoubtedly the best and fastest option...
The first is how to gather large amounts of uranium-235 together.
It might be possible to use electromagnetic restraint... But after thinking about it carefully, Linn crossed out the electromagnetic restraint because the strong electromagnetic field may affect the chain reaction.
Linn thought for a while and decided to use magic to mimic a solid element as the shell. The strange snake scale protection was very good. I don't know which kind of monster's body structure it was based on. It was much stronger than steel...
Next is how to realize the [neutron source] through magical means, which is the key to detonating nuclear weapons...
Finally, we have to figure out how to project this thing a far enough distance, otherwise we will die together with the enemy!
Endless questions emerged in Lin En's mind. Even with the help of the Intelligent Brain and the detailed knowledge theory in the federal database, Lin En still felt a headache when trying to magic the nuclear explosion...
…
In the next few days, the research on new elements and the internal structure of elements has become a hotly discussed topic among all wizards, causing quite a lot of chaos. There have been more than thirty experimental accidents alone.
Fortunately, some "minor accidents" are no longer surprising to wizards who are keen on research. Whether it is the official wizard who presides over the experiment or the apprentice who does it, once they see that the situation is not right, one will run faster than the other, and all kinds of protection will be available. It was done very well, and no one has died as a result.
There was only one unlucky wizard who tried to use the explosion to shatter atoms. He miscalculated the dose and had an arm blown off. However, after drinking a bottle of potion that could regenerate severed limbs, there was no delay at all. Invested in research again...
It wasn't until the evening of the third day, when the council convened everyone to exchange the latest research results, that the wizards reluctantly walked out of the laboratory.
Such seminars have become more and more frequent recently, and the previous method of concentrating on research and slowly pondering is no longer appropriate.
After all, the threat posed by the Holy See is right in front of us, any discovery is very important, and frequent communication will also help to spur an explosion of inspiration.
Thanks to frequent exchanges and experiments, in just one week since the theory of separable elements was proposed, two people have been nominated for the Medal of the Morning Star, which shows how high the importance of the Parliament is.
When Lin arrived at the conference room, it was already crowded with people. Many wizards looked like they had disheveled hair and heavy dark circles under their eyes. It was obvious that they had stayed up late for a long time to conduct experiments, and he happened to be the last one to arrive. …
