Looking at the stainless steel cans, the dark clouds also had their eyes shining, and they muttered to themselves: "Get rich, get rich......"

Lei Dong smiled slightly, he knew what the dark clouds meant.

As one of the countries with the most abundant mineral resources, the most complete minerals and high supporting Chengdu in the world, the Republic has discovered 171 kinds of minerals, 153 kinds of proven reserves, and 25 kinds of 45 kinds of major minerals rank among the top three in the world, of which 12 kinds of rare earth, gypsum, vanadium, titanium and so on rank first in the world, and 7 kinds of coal, molybdenum, magnesite and so on rank second in the world, but the oil, natural gas, iron, copper and other high-quality, bulk pillar mineral resources are relatively insufficient.

What is particularly speechless is that uranium, which is the most important and critical resource for making nuclear weapons and supporting nuclear power plants, and extracting plutonium, ranks far behind the top 10 in the world, and more than 60% of them are small and medium-sized reserves, and the ore grade is even lower than that.

It is for this reason that the Republic has to spend a lot of foreign exchange to import large quantities of uranium ore from several large uranium mining countries, which is not only costly, but also constantly subject to the constraints of others. For the sake of the development of the nuclear industry, the republic even had to set up a research institute with a huge organization and a large number of personnel, which traveled all over the mountains and mountains of the country with only one mission: to find uranium mines!

It is precisely for this reason that for many years, the number of nuclear warheads equipped in the republic has been in a polar state.

However, now it is different, more than 40 tons of ready-made weapon-grade plutonium are neatly placed in front of them, like a naked, little lamb, let themselves ask for it, it makes people's hearts surge! I don't know if the bigwigs in the country see these guys. Will you faint with joy? Or when the bigwigs are happy, they directly promote the team members by three levels. Do you want a division commander and a brigade commander to do it?

After all, this is weapons-grade plutonium that can make thousands of nuclear warheads!

But. Is this really that thing? What kind of tricks do little devils do to hide the sky and cross the sea? When the matter came to an end, the dark clouds were a little troubled and lost, and asked cautiously: "Do you want to take one apart and take a look?" ”

Lei Dong shook his head slightly, he was not without the slightest worry, but at the same time, he didn't want these treasures to be exposed to the air. Since plutonium, especially the plutonium ring, which is the most important element in the manufacture of nuclear bombs, is very easy to oxidize, at room temperature, plutonium exposed to air will quickly form a layer of plutonium dioxide. Such a precious thing, even if it is a loss of one milligram, it is enough to feel distressed for at least half a day!

With a light in his eyes, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping beauty, he walked over lightly, lifted a stainless steel tank with one hand, felt the weight, and started heavily. Put down the steel groove hand and gently place it on the shell, and carefully feel the temperature of the shell. The tentacles are lukewarm.

"That's right, it's him!" A pleasant smile appeared on Lei Dong's face.

Plutonium-239 has a half-life of more than 24,000 years, and in constant decay, it emits α particles of about 5.15 MeV per second. It produces almost 10 watts of energy, so it feels warm to the touch, despite being covered with a layer of stainless steel. But this slight change in temperature still accurately captures this anomaly.

As for the weight? The specific gravity of plutonium-239 is about 19.8. It's roughly the same as gold, so you can feel it as soon as you get your hands on it.

Maybe. There are many things with the same specific gravity, but what is such a specific gravity, coupled with such a temperature, that is not the coveted plutonium element? What's more, in such a heavily guarded place, just to put dozens of tons of gold? Little devils haven't been extravagant enough to do this, have they?

"Damn, even if it's gold, if you get back dozens of tons, it's a small fortune!" Lei Dong stomped his feet and scolded, and with a slight flip of his hand, a stainless steel tank was stuffed into the space ring, and disappeared in an instant.

Lei Dong's heart blossomed, and he felt that the most prescient thing of his trip was to extort this small ring from the old god stick, which not only saved space, but also contained a large number of materials, and nothing added weight to it, as if it was directly connected to another space, which was simply a necessary medicine for home travel to kill people. If it was up to a few people to carry more than 40 tons of metal plutonium away, it was estimated that before anyone could find out, he would have to be pressed down first.

"I'm so wise!" Lei Dong was elated, and one by one the stainless steel cans were thrown into the space ring.

In order to better maintain the critical state of plutonium, metal plutonium is usually made into plutonium rings with a diameter of about 11 cm, each weighing about 8 kilograms, enough to make a nuclear warhead of more than 100,000 tons. Lei Dong glanced over, and in this hall, there were about 90 such stainless steel tanks, that is to say, more than 40 tons of weapon-grade plutonium shown in the intelligence should be here.

You don't have to bother to look for it elsewhere, the little devil's arrangement is simply too intimate! Lei Dong almost wanted to hug the original designer and kiss him twice.

"Elsewhere?" Lei Dong's hand that was reaching out to the next stainless steel can suddenly stopped. No, no, since all the plutonium is here, what is in the other cave chamber in this cave? Is there another secret to this?

As soon as Lei Dong turned around, he picked up the broken arm and wrist that he had just thrown on the transmission belt, and threw his hand into the arms of the dark clouds, facing Nunu outside the cave.

Subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, and without waiting for Lei Dong to speak, the dark clouds reacted, his face couldn't help but change, and he turned around and hurriedly ran out of the cave.

Lei Dong turned his head and waved his hands continuously, speeding up the speed of "looting", and the stainless steel canisters with only plutonium rings stored disappeared like a fly.

"Boss, come and see!" At the same time that the eighty-ninth and last stainless steel canister was loaded into the space ring, in the distance, there was a cry of dark clouds, and the sound passed through the alleyway outside, which seemed a little dull, but it couldn't hide the surprise in his tone anyway, let alone the boundless anger!

Sure enough, something happened!

Lei Dong didn't have time to say yes, turned around and rushed out of the alleyway, and rushed to the next cave in three steps and two steps.

The first cavern is different. There are no long lanes inside, and the wider gate openings are opened. The situation inside is directly visible. Just glanced outside the door, and the thunderous brain "buzzed". I was so shocked that I couldn't speak!

It is a cavern larger than the one where metal plutonium is stored, and it is square and nearly 300 meters long. The silver-white alloy walls stretched straight upward, and on the dome more than 50 meters high, the light embedded in the silver-white ceiling sprinkled softly, illuminating the entire cavern in dust, but it seemed to be covered with a mysterious and misty halo.

The door to the cavern is open to allow two heavy trucks to enter and exit easily. There was not a trace of dust on the ground, and it was as clean as new.

Lei Dong and Wuyun stood at the gate, staring at the cave in amazement, unable to believe their eyes.

About 200 meters in front of them, near the side of the cave wall, a row of thirteen conical objects was placed. The cones look unremarkable, their shape is indistinguishable from that of many missile warheads, and the smooth, shiny streamlined cones are painted a dark green, with almost no signs of welding visible. Silver-red striped labels are attached to the sides and a white round base at the bottom.

Perhaps, in the eyes of people who have not undergone serious training, this is nothing more than conventional missile warheads. It may even be thought to be an ordinary shell or bomb. However, after years of brutal training, it has become almost instinctive to distinguish the weapons of various foreign armies, and it is clear at a glance what this thing is.

That's not a bomb. Not artillery shells, not conventional missile warheads. It's a powerful fusion nuclear warhead!

Just when everyone in the outside world is saying, "There is only a screwdriver between the Jeppen Empire and the nuclear bomb." When everyone thought that this defeated country, which was almost destroyed in the last world war, did not dare to produce nuclear warheads in the face of the world's condemnation, this country, which was strictly ordered by the international community not to develop offensive weapons after the war, had already produced fusion nuclear warheads that were powerful enough to completely destroy a small city in an instant!

And not one, not two, but a whole thirteen! Lei Dong believes that as long as there is a real need, relying on the mountain of more than 40 tons of weapon-grade plutonium outside, this number will multiply countless times in the shortest possible time!

What a frightening and ironic thing to do. With such nuclear warheads, this empire, which has always been ambitious and never willing to admit its aggression, is fully capable of launching a nuclear war that will destroy the entire world.

And for the republic, which is close at hand, these nuclear warheads do not even need to use long-range missiles, but only ordinary medium-range missiles are needed to hit the most important and prosperous urban agglomerations and economic belts along the coast of the republic, as well as military bases, and deal a heavy blow to the military and economy of the republic!

"Damn, these crazy people!" It took a long time for Lei Dong to wake up from the shock and curse through gritted teeth. And the dark clouds saw the other side: "Damn, it's Mi Guo's father, get used to it, pet it, this time it's stupid, right?" Every day we accuse us of stealing cutting-edge weapons and technology, but Nima's own godson is building a nuclear bomb right under his nose! ”

Lei Dong didn't speak with a gloomy face, just nodded.

It is well known that as the de facto suzerainty of the Jeppen Empire, the Commonwealth of Minia, while claiming the two countries to be the closest allies, is also quite wary of this country. After all, the surprise attack on the military port of Pierce decades ago left a painful lesson for the Commonwealth of Minia that will never be erased. No one dares to give complete trust to this almost crazy nation. It was only in order to block the republic that he had to give great support to Jeppen, a pawn.

Even so, the restrictions of the Commonwealth of Minia on Jeppen's development of high-end weapons technology are still very strict, fighters, missiles, Aegis systems, you can provide them if you need them, but if you want to develop them yourself, there is no way! As for nuclear weapons, don't even think about it, I'm afraid that you will throw it directly on my head!

But it is obvious that these thirteen warheads, in terms of appearance, except that the craftsmanship looks more sophisticated and beautiful, are completely a copy of the W88 nuclear warhead of the Commonwealth of Minia.

As one of the most advanced devices in the world to date, the W88 nuclear warhead weighs only about 200 kilograms, but its explosive yield can reach 300,000 tons. Such warheads

There may be a beryllium reflective layer outside the primary plutonium fission core, the detonator is deuterium-tritium, and the fusion material may be lithium deuteide-6. W88 can use any of the explosion methods of high-altitude explosion, medium-altitude airburst, low-altitude airburst, near-ground explosion and ground contact explosion, according to expert calculations, if 10 W87 nuclear bombs detonate around the target point for a certain time, they can produce a concentrated energy effect similar to the principle of wave superposition in physics, which can cause greater damage than the sum of a single W87 nuclear warhead. Considered to have sufficient capability to destroy any fortified targets, including specially enhanced land-based ICBM bunkers and protective bunkers for enemy leaders.

Such a powerful and advanced weapon technology is one of the highest top secrets of the Commonwealth of Minia, and it is absolutely impossible to provide it to a third country, even its closest allies! Then there is only one conclusion: the little devil stole it from his father......

"Fortunately, these things will soon become Lao Tzu's own!" Lei Dong was just angry for a while, and his mood suddenly became better. What did the little devil do to his Mi Guodad, Lei Dong was not interested in knowing, he only knew that the thirteen nuclear bombs were shipped back to China, not only to increase the inventory of the republic's nuclear arsenal, but also to greatly promote the research process of nuclear technology.

However, Lei Dong's hand had just been attached to the warhead, and before he could put it into the space ring, Lei Dong's face changed, and that smile instantly froze on his face.

The projectile body is warm! This can only mean one thing, the shell of this nuclear bomb is made of radioactive metal! Lei Dong took out his combat knife and carefully scraped off the dark green paint on the surface of the warhead, and an orange color immediately appeared in front of him.

Orange alloy! Highly enriched uranium! Using this radioactive metal as a shell can not only greatly increase the power of the explosion, but also produce a large amount of radioactive material that is enough to kill thousands of innocent people, poison all life in a city, whether it is people, insects and beasts, or even flowers and plants, within the explosion range, there is no grass! And the half-life of tens of thousands of years is enough for this poison to last countless years after the war!

"Fuck bitch!" Lei Dong couldn't hold back anymore and blurted out the swear words. At this moment, he even had the urge to detonate this nuclear bomb on the spot! (To be continued......)
