Chapter 829: The Roots of Research
After opening the lead box containing the ore samples, Richard got busy with his face under the mask of his protective suit.
First, a sample was taken, placed in a large blue container, and the prepared lye was added to it. Let it react to remove impurities and obtain a purer sample. After that, a variety of liquids are added in turn and react with them until the other party produces a white precipitate in the pale green liquid, and then it does not stop.
Afterwards, Richard took another sample, this time in a large cyan container, and added a prepared acid solution to it, allowing it to react and remove impurities. After that, the product is filtered, crystallized, and a variety of liquids are added to react with it until the other party produces brown flocculents.
After conducting the two tests, Richard took a break, took a few notes on a papyrus scroll, pondered for a moment, and took out a third sample. The third sample was soaked in lye, then placed in a crucible to isolate the air and burned to melt and observe the situation.
Then came the fourth sample, this time with yellow sulfur added to Richard for a heating reaction......
In the fifth sample, Richard introduced colorless nitrogen and controlled the temperature at about 400 degrees Celsius to allow it to react......
In the sixth sample, Richard added pitch-black carbon and raised the temperature to about 1250 degrees Celsius to allow it to react......
Seventh ......
Eighth......
Richard was constantly busy, and did not stop in the middle of the night, using ore powder samples to do various test experiments, and sometimes with various equipment to assist.
......
Eventually, hours passed.
Richard observed the last sample, and exhaled lightly as he saw that the other party was precipitating little by little in the pale green acid. The precipitate was raised, the quality of the precipitate was accurately weighed on the weighing instrument, and after calculating it on the papyrus for a while, Richard solemnly filled in another string of data on the papyrus scroll form.
When he was done, Richard picked up the papyrus scroll form and looked at the dense data filled in on it repeatedly, and was silent for a long time. Then, hidden under the mask of the thick chemical protection suit, with a tired face, the corners of the mouth curled up a little, revealing a knowing smile.
"The results are good!" Richard in the chemical hazmat suit muttered, looking at the form, his eyes brightening.
Yes.
Not bad!
Very good!
Very good!
Through a series of tests, the results obtained so far have fully demonstrated that there is a rare uranium mine hidden under the hill where the No. 13 mine in Shambhala Town is located.
The extent of this uranium mine has not yet been fully proven, and it has not yet been determined what the underground trend is, but the information calculated so far is sufficient for preliminary nuclear weapons research and manufacturing.
As for how far we can go in the research and manufacture of nuclear weapons, we must not only look at the reserves of uranium mines, but also see whether the various problems that may be encountered can be solved.
But in any case, this is excellent news for now!
Fabulous!
This news means that he has a certain possibility that, through a series of efforts, he will obtain the pinnacle of military weapons on earth - nuclear weapons.
Richard's eyebrows furrowed.
He wasn't sure if the nuclear weapons would be able to fight the legendary so-called ninth-level wizards, but in his opinion, it was completely enough to deal with the fourth-level wizards he might encounter. After all, when a nuclear weapon explodes, the core temperature is as high as several million degrees Celsius, and the impact force is unimaginably great, and it can easily destroy a large city, and the comprehensive power is completely better than the meteorite that destroyed the White Rock Tower in the first place.
Once he has such a weapon, he has the ability and confidence to confront any force in the current world - even the unfathomable Truth Society and the Supreme Order God Society.
In this way, although he does not have the idea of unifying the world and becoming a king, it can allow him to greatly reduce the impact of unexpected factors on his various research and plans, and even speed up the progress, allowing him to achieve some of his goals more efficiently.
To give you an example, for example, the Society of Truth has a lot of information about the ancient wizarding world, but it is strictly guarded and does not want to disclose it. After some design, he somehow stole the materials and read them, which greatly accelerated the progress of his own research.
It's just that the good times don't last long, and the truth will find out what he is doing, tear his skin with him, and chase him frantically, leaving him everywhere and unable to continue researching.
At this time, he can find a way to gather the many high-level wizards of the Truth Society who are chasing him into one location, and then throw a nuclear weapon over.
After a roar that shattered the heavens and the earth, there was silence and harmony.
Without incident, the hatred between him and the Truth Society will disappear. If he's lucky, he might be able to get more information about the ancient wizarding world from the Truth Society.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons why he researched and built nuclear weapons, and it was a relatively small reason.
The reason for this is that he is well aware that many things can be solved with absolute violence, but it is not the most convenient - there are many ways to replace it.
For example, he was also hunted down by the Truth Society, and he didn't have to spend a lot of time to make a nuclear bomb and throw it over, he could find a remote place, hide in the Garden of Eden, and study it with peace of mind for a year and a half, ensuring that the Truth Society would never be found.
He has never been a force supremacist, but a researcher, and the main reason for his research and manufacture of nuclear weapons is to blame the research itself.
In other words, because he researched nuclear weapons, he researched and manufactured nuclear weapons. It is not for the sake of killing with nuclear weapons that nuclear weapons are researched and manufactured.
So what is the purpose of his research?
It's a long story, a certain method, and it has to do with his attempt to crack the current world and analyze the current world's transcendent power system.
In other words, the reason why he researched nuclear weapons was not a whim, but a long time ago. This is a continuation of his previous research results, and it is also a necessary path for him to reach the end of his future research.
What was he researching before?
There are a lot of things he researches, and they are very messy, such as the blood of gods, magic spells, communication crystal balls, and so on.
But in fact, these things, tracing back to the source, have a core point - that is the foundation of all the current research things - it is this foundation that derives everything.
This foundation is the theory that he summed up when he was in the Emerald Kingdom of Smans Island shortly after he embarked on the transcendent path, and used it to explain the current world power system - the superweight nuclear stability island element theory.
