Magus Tech Chapter 892: Phase 4 of the nuclear weapons program

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! "Others?" asked the Lich old man Ah Fu.

"Yes, others." Li Cha nodded, "In addition to what I said, one more thing to consider is that under certain circumstances, private power will have a counterproductive effect on the individual.

If the starting point of developing a private force is to help oneself, then after the development, the private force will definitely provide some services for oneself and be responsible for the things that one has done. Regardless of whether the private forces are doing well or not, it is undeniable that once the other party has any problems, it will greatly affect themselves.

The larger the private power, the more prone to various problems, even if you put in a lot of energy to avoid it, you may be deliberately attacked by the enemy because of the struggle of certain interests. "

"So, you will never develop your personal power?" The old Lich frowned, "You can't say that private power is useless at all?"

"Of course not." Li Cha shook his head, "I understand very well that sometimes, the role of private power cannot be ignored, and it can act as a multiplier and shorten the distance to success. To develop private forces, even on a large scale, but before that, I chose to take the research route.”

"Research route, what is this?"

"In a simple explanation, that is, I am exploring this world and want to find out something. Only when I explore to the end can I be sure what I need to use my personal power to help me with.

For example, a few years ago, I might just ask them to help me prepare some simple chemicals, now I may ask them to help me purify uranium, and then I may ask them to help me use The exhaustive method analyzes the rules of a certain aspect.

The goal of a private force largely determines the positioning of a private force, which will affect its structure, personnel quality, and number of personnel.

Right now, I can handle a lot of things, building a private faction is helpful, but not necessary. I will only create it when it is really necessary. For example, when my research reaches a certain bottleneck that cannot be broken through personally, I will try to create a private force to forcefully break through the bottleneck.

All in all, all in all, it's not the time yet, I just plant a few seeds occasionally, or use money to create a loose business organization to serve myself. Only at critical moments do I put in a lot of energy. "

"Therefore!" The old Lich listened, his eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Therefore, you can call me back with peace of mind and help you, right? You want to save energy, don't be blind Building a private force, but unceremoniously squeezing me and occupying my time, this is not in our previous agreement."

"It's not my fault." Li Cha spread his hands, "I didn't intend to trouble you at first, but before there was an accident in the mine, you told me clearly 'let me deal with it', so what can I do? "

"This—" The old Lich's expression froze, and he was speechless, because Li Cha was telling the truth.

Silent for a long time, the old Lich stepped forward, sat down heavily on the easy chair next to him, and said angrily: "OK, OK, it's my fault. But then again, even if I'm wrong, I should help you I'm busy, so give me some time to rest. I'm an old man, and I don't know how many years old my real age is. Is it okay for me to rest for a while? I've decided, I'm going to lie down for a while, and then help you."

"As long as you're happy." Li Cha said, shaking his head lightly, and walked to the side.

Now, there is really no need for the old Lich to do the work.

The Lich old man watched Li Cha go away, stretched his body, closed his eyes and lay on the easy chair, "squirmed" a few times, and said in a voice: "It's comfortable." Race against time to enjoy the few leisure time .

On the other side, Li Cha walked to the end of a row of chemical instruments, glanced at the instruments, and began to adjust with the joystick again.

A few minutes later, accompanied by a "rusting" sound, substances began to form in a special glass container more than one meter high.

It is a colorless and transparent particle, a bit like salt.

However, Li Cha is very clear that in a sense, this is more dangerous than the most dangerous salt he has ever made—spell salt.

Because the other party's name is uranium hexafluoride, the chemical formula is UF6, which is a substance formed by combining six fluorine elements and one uranium element, and it is also the product of the third stage of uranium element purification.

If you want to get the other party, you need to use the yellow cake (U3O8) obtained in the previous stage to remove the neutron-absorbing impurities in the uranium salt by ion exchange, and ensure that the impurity content does not exceed the equivalent equivalent of eight parts per million of boron ( That is, in 1 million parts of uranium, 8 parts of boron absorb slow neutrons).

Afterwards, metal elements such as iron, aluminum, nickel, etc. that may generate non-volatile fluorides are removed to generate high-purity uranium oxide - uranium dioxide (UO2).

Uranium dioxide (UO2), a black powder ~IndoMTL.com~, is then reacted with hydrofluoric acid (HF).

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is an aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride, known as bone erosion water, bone water, and bone acid, and is highly corrosive. Because the binding ability between hydrogen atoms and fluorine atoms is relatively strong, it cannot be completely ionized in water. In theory, it is only a weak acid, but it can dissolve many substances that cannot be dissolved by other strong acids, such as ruthenium, rhodium, tantalum, etc. .

It combines with uranium dioxide (UO2) to produce uranium tetrafluoride (UF4).

Uranium tetrafluoride reacts with fluorine to form uranium hexafluoride (UF6).

Uranium hexafluoride is a further nuclear weapon material than yellow cake, and has many special properties.

For example, its melting point is 64.8°C (338.0K), but its boiling point is lower at 56.5°C (329.7K).

This causes it to be a solid. When the temperature reaches 64.8°C, it can directly become a gas and evaporate when the temperature reaches 64.8°C, without going through the process of melting and turning into a liquid, which is the so-called sublimation.

In addition, it is highly toxic and needs to avoid direct contact with the human body as much as possible. It also reacts violently with water and corrodes most metals, so the best way to store it is in gas steel tanks.

Li checked the instrument and confirmed that the temperature in the product container was 35°C, the air was zero, and the moisture was zero, so he felt relieved. After that, all the produced uranium hexafluoride is put into gas steel tanks and stored in the warehouse.

This is the complete end of the third phase of the nuclear weapons research and manufacturing plan.

After that, the fourth stage is the final purification of uranium.

In a sense, this can be regarded as the only true purification, because it no longer targets the wide range of uranium elements, but the more precise uranium 235.

Yes, uranium-235.
