Release that Witch Chapter 1320: High-energy experiment (on)
The noon the next day after waking up from the dream, Roland has really good news.
The Engineering Department and Ministry of Construction finally jointly completed the layout of the venue and equipment required for the "Splendor of the Sun" plan.
Since theoretically 52 kg of spherical uranium 235 can reach the threshold, elemental purification is not the biggest threshold. Since Lucia is busy, hundreds of kilograms of pure uranium have been accumulated in the Institute of High Energy Physics.
But just stacking uranium 235 together will not give full play to the power of the fission reaction, unless the amount invested is surprisingly large. But then, its safety and practicability will be greatly reduced, so it needs to stimulate its energy efficiency through a specific configuration.
The other key point of the plan is the test explosion.
Know that theoretical calculations are one thing, and doing them is another.
From the principle device to the actual product, it is almost impossible to want a success during this period. According to statistics, Roland has developed many weapon products for First Army. The number of failures during the test was more than double digits. This is still under the situation with reliable drawings and witch assistance.
The "Splendor of the Sun" plan is undoubtedly more special.
Other weapon manufacturing, improvement, and testing can be performed in one place, but fission reactions are not. Regardless of whether the result is success or failure, a place will become a restricted area.
In fact, it took almost a month just to inspect the test site.
Fertile Plain, although broad, can be used as the main development direction of Neverwinter City in the future, obviously it is not suitable as a test explosion site.
There are so many isolated islands in the fjord, but the distance is too far. Nowadays, the shipping pressure is very high, and it is difficult to draw out ships to transport various equipment.
The uninhabited desert in the south seems to be the most suitable place, but considering that there was a large number of "Matchstick People" ruins buried there, Roland hesitated for a long time and rejected Extreme Southern Region.
The detonation site was finally set at the former Devil outpost camp of -- west of Great Snow Mountain.
Although Evil Beast and Devil may be encountered there, the risks are still within the acceptable range. At the same time, no matter if the test blast succeeds or fails, a contaminated area will be formed. Instead, it will disguise to improve the rear safety of Neverwinter City.
When both of these thresholds are crossed, it can be regarded as qualified for nuclear testing.
"Your Majesty, please take me."
"me too!"
"I won't say any more. As long as it is weapon that can kill Devil, I will teach you anyway!"
"Uh ..." At the same time as receiving the message, Roland also received a request for dialogue from Border Town No.3. Looking at the three "big faces" squeezed across the light curtain, he could not help but wipe his sweat. "This is just a principle device test, which is far from the real weapon test."
Since he instilled the concept of "Splendor of the Sun" into Taquila witch, Pasha and Celine have been thinking about it, but he did not expect that even Elicia was also joining come in, and there seemed to be a little piety in his tone.
"If it is really like what you said, it is enough to illuminate the dark clouds above human heads, then I hope to witness it all the way." Pasha hangs down main tentacle.
"I also made a lot of efforts to make the core components of Splendor of the Sun. You ca n’t keep the participants of the program here, right?" Celine added.
"But there is no passage from Great Snow Mountain to the experimental observation point ..."
"You can rest assured that Months of Demons does not have the sun. We will spend much more time outside than usual." Elicia hurried back, as if he was afraid he would say nothing, "And the last time Fran drilled out The passage is still there, and we will never get anyone's attention when we leave the city.
Roland looked at Anna in tears and laughed, and the latter nodded at him with a smile.
Since all three have reached this point, it doesn't seem to be human if they don't agree.
"Then I will let Ministry of Construction leave your seat in bunker . Remember to bring some God Punishment Witches peers and pay attention to safety on the road."
"Thank you Your Majesty!" the three rejoiced.
Looking at this scene, Roland is quite emotional.
In previous lives, this weapon was often seen as an opportunity for self-destruction, and it has been described by countless literary works and biographies as the sword of Damocles hanging above human heads. But here, it is the dawn of hope -- When darkness comes, only strength can shelter the civilization and cut it off.
He looked at Anna, "Let's also set off."
...
Great Snow Mountain 50 kilometers west of north.
The snow here is much larger than Neverwinter City, not only covering the land eroded by Devil, but also making the bunker project extremely difficult.
Fortunately, the powerful God Punishment Witches helped, and the construction team finally took root in this no-man's land.
In order to ensure the quality of the project, the workers in the team are from the elite of the Northern Expedition. After the **** killing on Fertile Plain, the bad weather is not the worst enemy. Moreover, they have been notified before set off. This construction project is the top secret of Neverwinter City. It is about the future of the homeland and the kingdom, and the high remuneration from the Administration Department, so everyone is full of energy.
Replaced with the previous Greycastle, no matter how noble is forced, it will never be possible for your subordinates to develop a camp in such a place.
It took the Roland and his team nearly two days to reach the test site. After drilling into the underground command post, another scene in the room was --. The thick brick walls blocked the snow and the fire was burning. The fireplace crackled, and the project leaders held oil lamps and checked their tasks against the form, which seemed extremely busy.
Seeing his arrival, everyone stopped for a while, then saluted, "See Your Majesty!"
"You keep busy." Roland waved his hands, then looked at Karl van Bate "How about situation here?"
"No trace of Devil has been found in the past month," Karl replied, "they should completely abandon this place. As for Evil Beast, occasionally you can see so many dozens that pose no threat to the garrison. Try Both the blasting station and the simulation equipment have been constructed, and if you have no other instructions, they can fully meet the requirements of the plan. "
"Where is the test station?"
"Fifteen kilometers to the north." Karl pointed at the map. "You can't see it in the command post. The snow here is too thick. Even if it is three floors high, it will be snowed." Block. "
"It's okay, you can see it when it blows up." Roland smiled and turned to Anna. "Then let's start the first detonation test."
In order to verify the feasibility, the two have prepared at least three configurations for testing in half a year, and this time it is the simplest Gun-type configuration.
