Magus Tech

On the night of the Saturnalia, Cathy and Harry learned more philosophical knowledge, a clearer understanding of the future path, and what to pay for it.

At the same time, their teacher, Richard, was in the Garden of Eden, busy with his heart.

For Richard, he had determined the choice of the road many years ago, and he was very clear about the price he paid, and he had no regrets.

Because he knows that only when the path he chooses is cleared up will all make sense.

Otherwise, the rest of the pursuit, in the end, is probably just a dream bubble, which looks beautiful, but it actually breaks after a poke.

So can it get through?

In the Eden, the underground laboratory with the most stringent protection measures, a large reaction cell was filled with corrosive acid in a certain room.

Richard walked in in a chemical protective suit, without hesitation, quickly opened the lead box placed on the ground, and poured the mineral powder into the reaction tank.

"Grump!"

After special treatment, the ore powder is extremely fine and the body is small, which increases the area of ​​reaction with the acid solution to a certain extent and increases the reaction rate.

So it is visible to the naked eye that as soon as the mineral powder and the acid liquid come into contact, they start to react violently, and a large number of bubbles pop out.

The surface of the acid solution in the reaction tank kept rolling, as if boiling water was boiling.

Li Cha was not surprised by this. He constantly poured a box of ore powder into the reaction tank, using force to control the rotation of the acid solution, and fully stirred to dissolve all the ore powder.

At the end, I saw the liquid in the whole reaction tank, showing a deep dark green, like a door, which can lead to the abyss and exude a strange breath.

Li Cha glanced at it, completely ignoring the color of the solution, and with little hesitation, began to take samples from the reaction cell.

Draw the solution into the beaker, divide a dozen parts, add various solutions to it, observe the phenomenon, and calculate the element composition and content.

It took a few hours to get the final result.

The dense numbers were written on a piece of papyrus, and after reading Richard, he frowned deeply and thought.

Now the uranium element he needs for nuclear weapons research and manufacturing plans is in the reaction tank. The next thing to do is how to purify the uranium element as much as possible.

This is not an easy task. After all, 100% pure uranium ore does not exist at all, and the ore powder added to the reaction tank has some impurities.

One kind of impurities does not matter, but it is serious if a dozen or dozens of impurities are mixed in it.Now the solution in the reaction tank is like a porridge with dozens of raw materials in a pot. It takes a lot of effort to extract exactly one raw material.

One of the feasible ways is to continue to add other substances into it, react with the impurities in it, and remove the impurities.

When the last impurity is completely cleared, then the rest is pure uranium.

In theory this is very simple, almost at the level of high school chemistry on Earth.

But the actual operation is a bit tricky.

The tricky first reason: too many impurities, as many as dozens of impurities, affect each other.High school chemistry has to deal with just a few impurities. The number here has increased tenfold, and the difficulty has increased by hundreds or thousands of times.Each step must consider the impact on all impurities, and once mistakes are made, the previous achievements are discarded.

The second thorny reason: the substances added are restricted, and the cost and difficulty of preparation must be considered.At present, the amount of mineral powder in the reaction tank is not too much, but considering that once this experiment is successful, the future scale will be expanded to hundreds or hundreds of times, then the added materials must be easy to prepare and low in cost.

With these in mind, Li Cha kept thinking.

Thinking, sitting at a table in the room, holding a quill pen, and quickly calculating on papyrus.

"Shusha..."

"Shusha..."

A papyrus was quickly filled, and Richard replaced the second papyrus.

The second papyrus was also filled up in a while, and then replaced with the third papyrus.

The fourth and fifth...

Richard continued to calculate and write, and after a few hours, he stopped.At this time, the entire desktop was covered with a thick layer of papyrus.

Looking at the contents of the last few papyrus scrolls, Li Cha pondered, and after a few minutes, he started.

Turned around and walked out of the laboratory, and soon returned with several heavy iron buckets.

Opening one of the iron drums, you can see that there is a light blue liquid inside. Richard uses the instrument to accurately measure a certain volume and injects it into the reaction cell.

The reaction cell, which had already been leveled, now has fine bubbles, which indicates that gas is generated.At the same time, an off-white precipitate appeared at the bottom of the reaction tank.

Without being wordy, Richard manipulated the reaction cell to quickly filter out the precipitate, and then measured another light yellow liquid with the instrument and poured it into the reaction cell.

"Guttering!"

This time, no precipitation was generated, but a large number of bubbles appeared, and the liquid in the reaction cell was also stained with a hint of yellow.

Richard quickly turned on the ventilation device in the laboratory, sucked out the gas, and replaced it with an inert gas that hardly reacted with the solution-helium-his own oxygen bottle for breathing in his chemical suit, don’t worry about it at all. asphyxia.

After doing this, continue to operate.

Continuously add various substances to the reaction tank to carry out a series of reactions.

Occasionally, after adding a substance, stop to think for a long time and do a lot of calculations.

Occasionally, a part of the solution in the reaction cell is directly taken out, and it is loaded into several other empty reaction cells in the laboratory, and different solutions are added to each for a comparative experiment.

This time, Richard was using almost all his brain power at work.

Originally, if it was purely purified uranium element, it does not need to be so troublesome.He can use some stupid, but easier way to achieve his goal.

However, the purpose of this experiment is not to purify the uranium element. It is more important to summarize a practical, low-cost, and concise procedure to prepare for the future large-scale uranium element refining.

Therefore, the entire process should be optimized as much as possible, and every link should be optimized.

"Breathe--"

"Breathe--"

Richard wears protective clothing, breathing, thinking, and operating.

With the passage of time, the impurities in the reaction cell are getting less and less and more and more pure.

After a long time, I don't know how long it will be. Li Cha looked at the clearer reaction pool solution and exhaled in a protective suit with a smile.

Although the uranium element has not been completely purified yet, he knows that this first step has basically been completed.

At this moment, he looked at the reaction pool and could feel the faint energy in it.

This energy is very unremarkable, but he knows that if it continues to develop, it will become a force that affects the world-maybe many forces can make the world change, but this will be the biggest and the most irresistible. share.
