Magus Tech

"Thank you." Richard said thanks, took the list passed by Inova Gowa, glanced at it, and soon saw several materials that had not been collected, with crosses on them.

There are two that are not found, to be precise.

First, the name on the list is rhinestone, which is actually rhenium.

This is a silver-white metal, very hard, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, insoluble in hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid.This metal has an excellent feature, that is, heat resistance, melting point 3180 ℃, ranking third among metals, boiling point is as high as 5627 ℃, the highest of all metals.

This metal also has a "rhenium effect". When it is made into an alloy, it can greatly improve the strength and plasticity of tungsten, molybdenum, and chromium. Adding a small amount (3%-5%) of rhenium can make tungsten The initial temperature of crystallization rises by 300℃-500℃.This is exactly how rhenium-tungsten alloys can squeeze nuclear raw materials under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions without igniting high-explosive explosives.

Second, the name on the list is sweet emerald, which is actually beryllium.

This is a gray metal, which is fragile at room temperature, has a modulus of elasticity about 50% higher than steel, but a lower density, so the speed of sound is very high.At standard temperature and pressure, the speed of sound propagation in it is about 12.9kms-under the same conditions, the sound propagates in the air, but it is only more than three hundred meters per second.

Of course, these are not important. What is important is that except for traces of radioactive isotopes caused by cosmic rays, natural beryllium is almost entirely composed of beryllium-9 isotopes with a nuclear spin of 32.This leads to a relatively large cross-section for high-energy neutrons and 6 targets for neutron cross-sections with energies higher than 10 keV, which can quickly reduce the neutron thermal energy to below 0.03 eV and is an excellent neutron reflector and neutron. Reducer.

To put it simply, if it is used as a reflective layer, it can limit the neutron's activity in a certain range, let the continuous nuclear chain reaction proceed, and help increase the power of the atomic bomb.

At the same time, beryllium will release neutrons under the impact of deuterium nuclei and protons, so it can become a neutron source under certain conditions to stimulate the nuclear explosion of the atomic bomb.

In short, these two materials are very important for the manufacture of implosion atomic bombs.

Rhen couldn't find it, he could still understand.

After all, this metal is relatively rare, and was discovered very late on the earth. If it is really not found, he can try to use other materials instead.

But beryllium could not be found, so it was a bit difficult to accept.

Beryllium is much more common than rhenium, not to mention anything else, it exists only in certain types of emeralds.

Putting down the list and looking up at Inokova, Richard confirmed and asked: "The Inokova witch, the two missing materials on the list, haven't you found any of them?"

"Is this..." Inogova was hesitant and thought for a while, "Wait a moment."

The words fell, looking up the piles of information on the table. This time, after searching for a few minutes, I finally found a new document.After carefully reading the above content, I read it and said, "Sorcerer Richard, according to the report submitted, in fact, some sweet emeralds have been found, and another rhinestone has also found clues, all concentrated in the cable In a coal mining city called Lacey, but if you want to raise the materials to the quantity you require and ship them back, it may take a month or two, so the current status of these two materials on the list , Still vacant."

Richard listened, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is the Soma Alliance's Rice City far from Pompeii?"

"It's not very far. Rice City is relatively close to the southern border in the Soma Alliance. If you rush to the road, it may only take two days to reach." Inokova said.

Sounds like it's about the same distance as going to St. Louis City... Richard raised his eyebrows and asked, "If so, why does it take a month or two?"

"This is mainly because the recent situation of the Soma Alliance is a bit turbulent, and our power in the Soma Alliance is very weak. We cannot directly control people to do things. In this case, we can only wait patiently for the situation to improve and then deal with it, so time It's a bit wasteful above." Inova Gowa spread his hand.

After glancing at Richard's frowned, he thought about it and proposed: "Of course, if you are really anxious, Wizard Richard can also leave Pompeo and go to Rice to deal with it in person. Be careful not to go back and stay outside for more than a year-really, you have to register with me and go through the procedures for handling your residence."

"Is that so?" Richard nodded.

...

Not long after, Richard returned to the Garden of Eden.

Sitting in front of the ring laboratory table in the main laboratory, Richard flicked his fingers gently on the table, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound, thinking about the proposal just made by Inokova.

He agrees with Inogova's proposal.After all, the research and manufacturing plan for nuclear weapons has now reached this stage. Almost everything is ready, but it is owed to the east wind. It must not be delayed for a month or two because of a small problem of lack of materials.

When he first came to Pompeii, he hadn’t forgotten: his real identity could be exposed at any time. Pompeii is equivalent to the enemy-occupied area. He must complete the nuclear weapons research and manufacturing plan as soon as possible with the help of Pompeii’s resources. Once gone, get rid of this danger.

In this case, he must go to Rice once, and the sooner the better.

Thinking of this, without hesitation, Richard stepped out of the laboratory.

Soon, he found Pandora in the open space in front of the main laboratory. After briefly telling what he was going to leave, he handed a crystal ball to the other party.

"I leave this time, and in a few days at most, I will get back to work as soon as possible." Richard urged, "And before I return, the Garden of Eden will continue to absorb energy and produce and reserve nuclear materials as much as possible. So you can't move around casually. In the process, you have to be optimistic about your home, especially the tree in the room. Although I think that his chances of causing trouble are very low, it is also a hidden danger and cannot be underestimated.

Once he really gets into trouble, don't be polite, just teach directly.If the situation is critical, just contact me through this crystal ball, then I will throw everything back.I have taught you how to use the crystal ball before, remember?"

"Of course." Pandora nodded her crystal ball hard and nodded her eyes. "Relax, everything will be fine. In fact, if that tree really causes trouble, I haven't been fighting for a long time. I just wanted to Let’s do it."

"Hah." Li Cha couldn't help but smiled, and asked something out loud, "In other words, you won't wait until I'm gone. You deliberately caused that tree to cause trouble, and then teach you a lesson?"

"Is it okay?" Pandora's tone rose slightly, with some surprises, and his eyes glowed.
