Chapter 388

Seeing off the pilot, Chen Xin naturally turned his attention to the weapons grade enriched uranium.

This is really a good thing, and it's also a big killer.

There are only a few countries in the world that can produce this kind of enriched uranium of weapon grade purity. Small countries have no scientific and technological strength and industrial strength to study related technologies.

Coupled with the control and blockade of nuclear technology by the five rogues themselves, it is even more difficult for small countries to have the opportunity to study and manufacture such weapons grade nuclear materials.

If it is put before the disaster, such a batch of nuclear materials that can produce 100000 tons of equivalent tactical nuclear bombs is very valuable. Although the cost of a kilogram of weapon grade enriched uranium is about 500000 US dollars, in fact, there is no market at all. Let alone idle people, idle countries can't buy it.

Before the disaster, if anyone could resell such a batch of nuclear raw materials, it would be hard to say if they could make money, but at least they could not spend so much money in their lifetime.

If Chen Xin is not in Yanguo, a nuclear power, and the country has the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons and nuclear raw materials, he can't easily get access to this level of nuclear raw materials. Instead, he can consider buying some uranium ore to purify himself. After all, before the disaster, uranium ore was only controlled, and the price was not expensive.

But now thanks to the state's blessing, Chen Xin has obtained this batch of weapon grade enriched uranium. Naturally, there is no need for Chen Xin to slowly purify the uranium ore and make his own enriched uranium.

The reason why Chen Xin needs to enrich uranium is to build a fusion reactor.

Some people may wonder how enriched uranium, which is clearly the raw material for fission reaction, can be used to build a fusion reactor?

This is not Chen Xin's mistake, or his plan to upgrade the fission furnace into a fusion furnace by means of the system. Instead, it is possible to build a fusion reactor through the fission furnace.

Before explaining how to do this, we need to know that the fuel for fusion reaction is usually the isotopes of deuterium and tritium. Although deuterium is abundant in nature, tritium needs to be produced artificially.

The way to produce tritium is to bombard lithium-6 compound target with neutrons produced by fission reaction, and tritium can be obtained in large quantities.

After that, we only need to enrich tritium to more than 99% by thermal diffusion method, then we can use fusion reaction.

Of course, what we can get by doing this directly is a violent thermonuclear fusion reaction, which is usually called hydrogen bomb explosion, releasing huge energy in an instant.

Therefore, all the countries that have the ability to study nuclear fusion are looking for ways to control the nuclear fusion reaction, which is the origin of the idea of controllable nuclear fusion and cold nuclear fusion.

It's not difficult for Chen Xin to achieve controllable nuclear fusion and cold nuclear fusion by holding the system in hand. Even if he is willing to toss about, he can get science fiction power sources such as GN solar furnace and antimatter reactor.

But of course, what Chen Xin wants is not something black and irrelevant, but something that can be copied and promoted.

So he doesn't plan to get too black technology, even cold fusion, but a controllable hot fusion reactor.

For this thermonuclear fusion reactor, Chen Xin's idea is not to add fuel to the reactor by injecting fuel from the outside, but to install a fission reactor under the fusion reactor, which directly bombards the target material with the fission reactor to produce tritium and supply the fusion reactor as fuel.

That's why Chen Xinhui needs nuclear materials. Otherwise, even if he can make a furnace, it won't burn without fuel.

As for why we don't use fuel grade enriched uranium but use weapon grade enriched uranium, it is because according to Chen Xin's idea, he needs to use high-purity nuclear materials as fuel.

"Seriously, it's a bit numb to see so many nuclear materials piled up in front of us." In the warehouse where nuclear materials are temporarily stored, Chen Xin looks at the box in front of him for storing nuclear materials and the huge nuclear radiation sign on the box. He really feels numb in the back.

"Weapons grade enriched uranium with more than 90% purity will not kill many people if it flows out." As the commander of the special forces, he has carried out many dangerous tasks. Naturally, he can understand how dangerous this thing is and how many people will risk their lives for it.

"So please take care of it. Before I build the reactor, I can't lose a gram of these things." Chen Xin looked at the commander, his face turned to serious: "these nuclear materials will be temporarily stored here, and then I will continue to work in Linshi. After the work here is completed, these nuclear materials will return to my own refuge with me, where I will complete the manufacturing and loading of the nuclear fusion reactor, and then carry out the test run. The whole process of security tasks will be completed It's up to you. "

Chen Xin's words made the commander of the special forces look awe inspiring. Although he had been called by the superior leaders before the departure of this mission, and he was psychologically prepared, Chen Xin let him guard these important and dangerous nuclear materials, but still let the commander breathe in a hurry.

But as a soldier's sense of mission and responsibility, he almost instinctively replied to Chen Xin: "guarantee to complete the task!""This is an extra trouble I brought to you. Originally, you only wanted to protect my safety, but now you have to be responsible for the safety of these nuclear materials." Chen Xin also knows that he has brought troubles to others, but these troubles are inevitable.

After all, it's weapons grade nuclear material. The state can't just hand it over to Chen Xinji. If the special forces hadn't been ordered to protect him, I'm afraid the state would not have handed over weapons grade nuclear material to him so easily.

Therefore, this special force has been shouldering the task of protecting the safety of nuclear materials and Chen Xin's next fusion reactor since they started.

Fortunately, in the current environment, it is not too much trouble to protect the safety of Chen Xinhe's batch of nuclear raw materials. As long as we keep the barracks well and ensure that the batch of nuclear raw materials do not flow out, there will be no problem.

After all, in the land of Yan state, there is no force that can break the barracks guarded by an elite special forces, and can rob things from the barracks.

"The existence of this batch of approved raw materials should be blocked as far as possible. The less people know about it, the better. I'll ask you for all this." Chen Xin didn't know how to do it, but he put forward his own requirements to the commander according to his impression.

The commander also nodded to this, and replied in a positive way: "it's true that the less people know about this kind of thing, the better. After that, I will explain it to the soldiers in charge of security and let them keep it secret."
