Magus Tech Chapter 886: Primary purification of uranium

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! On the night of the Saturnalia, Cathy and Harry learned more philosophical knowledge and realized more clearly The path to take in the future, and what to pay for it.

At the same time, their teacher, Li Cha, was busy in the Garden of Eden without distraction.

For Li Cha, he had made the choice of the road many years ago, and he knew very well what the price was, and he had no regrets about it.

Because he knows that everything is meaningful only if the path he chooses goes well.

Otherwise, the rest of the pursuit is likely to be just a dream bubble in the end, which looks beautiful, but actually bursts with a poke.

So can we get through?

In the most heavily protected underground laboratory in the Garden of Eden, in a certain room, a huge reaction pool has been filled with corrosive acid.

Li Cha walked in wearing a chemical protective suit. Without hesitation, he quickly opened the lead box placed on the ground and poured the mineral powder inside into the reaction pool.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

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

It can be seen with the naked eye that as soon as the mineral powder and the acid solution come into contact, they will start to react violently, and a large number of bubbles will come out.

The surface of the acid solution in the reaction pool is constantly tumbling, as if boiling water is boiling.

Li Cha was not surprised by this, he kept pouring boxes of ore powder into the reaction pool, controlled the rotation of the acid solution with his power, stirred it fully, and dissolved all the ore powder.

In the end, the liquid in the entire reaction pool showed a deep dark green color, like a door that could lead to the abyss, exuding a strange aura.

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

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

After several hours of busy work, the final result was reached.

The dense numbers were written on a piece of papyrus. After reading it, Li Cha deeply frowned and thought.

Now the uranium element needed for his nuclear weapon research and manufacturing plan is in the reaction pool. 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, and the ore powder added to the reaction pool has more or less impurities.

One type of impurity does not matter, but a mixture of more than a dozen or dozens of impurities is serious. Now the solution in the reaction pool is like a pot of porridge with dozens of raw materials. How to accurately extract a raw material requires a lot of effort.

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

Wait until the last impurity is completely removed, then what is left is pure uranium.

It's simple in theory, almost at the level of high school chemistry on Earth.

But in practice, it is a bit tricky.

The first tricky reason: too many impurities, as many as dozens of impurities, interact with each other. What high school chemistry has to deal with is just a few impurities. Here, the number has increased by ten times, and the difficulty has increased by hundreds or thousands of times. Every step must take into account the impact on all impurities. Once a mistake is made, all previous efforts will be wasted.

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

Considering these, Li Cha kept thinking.

Thinking, he sat down at a table in the room, holding a quill, and quickly calculated on the papyrus.

"Shushasha..."

"Shushasha..."

One papyrus was quickly filled, and Li Cha replaced it with a second papyrus.

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

The fourth, the fifth...

Li Cha kept counting and writing, and it took several hours before he stopped. At this time, the entire tabletop was covered with a thick layer of papyrus.

Looking at the contents of the last few papyrus scrolls, Li Cha pursed his lips and thought about it. After a few minutes, he moved his hands.

Turning around and walking outside the laboratory, he returned after a while carrying several heavy iron buckets.

Opening one of the iron barrels, he saw a light blue liquid inside. Li Cha accurately measured a certain volume with an instrument and poured it into the reaction pool.

The reaction pool, which has been calmed down, now has tiny bubbles, which indicates that there is gas generation. At the same time, off-white precipitates appeared at the bottom of the reaction pool.

Without fuss, Li Cha operated the reaction pool, quickly filtered out the precipitate, then measured another pale yellow liquid with an instrument, and poured it into the reaction pool.

"Google!"

This time, no precipitation was formed, but a large number of bubbles appeared, and the liquid in the reaction pool was also stained with a light yellow color.

Li Cha 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—he had an oxygen cylinder for breathing in his chemical protective suit~IndoMTL .com~ You don’t have to worry about suffocation at all.

When you're done with this, move on.

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

Occasionally, after adding a certain substance, he will stop for a long time to think and perform a lot of calculations.

Occasionally, a part of the solution in the reaction pool is directly taken out, put into several other empty reaction pools in the laboratory, and different solutions are added to each for comparative experiments.

This time, Li Cha used almost all his brainpower to work.

Originally, if it was just to purify uranium, it would not need to be so troublesome. He can use some stupid, but easier methods to achieve his goal.

But the purpose of this experiment is not to end with the purification of uranium. More importantly, it is to sum up a practical, low-cost, and concise procedure to prepare for large-scale uranium extraction in the future.

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

"Exhale-inhale-"

"Exhale-inhale-"

Li Cha was wearing protective clothing, breathing, thinking, and operating.

As time goes by, the impurities in the reaction pool become less and less, more and more pure.

After a long time, and I don't know how long it took, Li Cha looked at the reaction pool solution that had become somewhat clear, let out a long breath in the protective clothing, and smiled.

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

At this moment, looking at the reaction pool, he could vaguely feel the weak energy emanating from it.

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