Vol 2 Chapter 1061: Crystal heart

In the furnace, the light emitted by the metal powder in the mold is very bright, but it has not melted.
Whether it is metal rhenium or metal tungsten, it is extremely heat-resistant and has a high melting point-this is also one of the main reasons for casting the internal components of nuclear bombs. Therefore, simple heating cannot make them quickly transform into forms, and the rest Only operation.
Pressurized.
"Click!"
With a sound, Richard pulled down a joystick outside the furnace.
"Buzz!"
A subtle roar sounded and the gas pump started to work, injecting inert gas argon into the sealed furnace to increase the pressure.
Eventually, under the dual action of high temperature and high pressure, the metal tungsten and metal rhenium gradually melted, and successfully sintered into a metal block of rhenium-tungsten alloy.
...
Richard worked for a long time in front of the furnace and obtained hundreds of sintered rhenium-tungsten alloy components.
These components are very rough, and further processing is required to reduce the number of tolerances to meet the numerical requirements in the nuclear weapon design drawings.
But in any case, the second process of nuclear weapons production is considered complete.
Then comes the third process.
Richard moved his body and left the furnace.
...
The third process is carried out in the highest-level laboratory in the Garden of Eden, which is the underground laboratory of the functional sector of dangerous goods.
The thing to do this time is to process metal beryllium.
Metal beryllium is considered a non-toxic element, but beryllium powder reacts with air and is easily converted into beryllium oxide. Once the human body absorbs beryllium oxide, it will be converted into beryllium hydroxide in the body through a reaction, which will cause beryllium poisoning pneumonia, which is enough to be fatal.
To this end, Richard wears a full set of protective clothing. On the one hand, for absolute safety, on the other hand, it is also an exercise for the next process.
In the highest-level underground laboratory in the Garden of Eden, a processing table has been set up in a room, which is not much different from the processing table in the No. 1 research room of the mechanical processing sector. They are all wide and thick, stable and precise. Levels and screw jacks are all available. In addition, more robotic arms are installed. The end of the robotic arm is equipped with a space iron ring for cutting-reality has proved that this is The best cutter head.
In the three-proof face mask, Li Cha took a deep breath of air from the oxygen tank, walked to the operating table, grabbed the robot arm and started to work.
The free energy elements in the body flow out, penetrate the protective clothing and act on the space iron ring. The functions of "absolute cutting of space scissors" and "absolute processing of space precision" of the iron ring are turned on, and the metal beryllium on the operation table is approached.
"Squeak, squeak..."
An extremely subtle sound sounded, and the metal beryllium kept changing its shape, moving closer to the design.
...
Another long time, the third process of metal beryllium processing is also completed, officially ushered in the fourth process.
This is the most important process in the manufacture of nuclear weapons and is the core.
What is to be done in this process is to process the nuclear raw material, that is, the metal uranium 235.
The specific content is that after casting metal uranium 235 into a metal block, it is cut into the desired shape-that is, the combination of the second process and the third process-this is why the first two steps must be carried out, The reason for this step is that after "practice", the already low accident rate is guaranteed to be reduced again.
...
It is also the highest level underground laboratory in the Garden of Eden.
In another room.
Wearing a protective suit, Richard took the weapon-grade metal uranium out of the heavy lead box, put it in a ceramic crucible, and sent it to an electric furnace installed here.
Pull down the joystick and the gas pump starts to work. First, it evacuates the internal oxygen, and then injects an excess amount of inert gas argon. While avoiding the oxidation reaction, the inside of the furnace is placed in a high-pressure environment, which is conducive to melting.
After completing this step, Richard solemnly pressed the button.
"Sisi~"
The electric current is turned on, the furnace is running, the internal temperature rises rapidly, the weapon-grade metal uranium is melted, and then poured into the abrasive tool to cast it into the desired shape.
After finishing this step, the reshaped metal uranium was put on the processing platform in the previous room. Richard manipulated the iron ring at the end of the manipulator arm, cutting the metal uranium like a metal beryllium.
"Squeak, squeak..."
The space iron ring smoothly slides across the surface of the metal uranium, the uneven undulations, instantly become smooth into the lens, and the fineness has exceeded the limit of the human eye can distinguish.
"Squeak, squeak..."
Richard continued to process, the surface of the metal uranium became brighter and brighter, and it looked like a dusty cloth wiped over a dusty mirror-as if the metal uranium was like this, now it is just to let it revert to original.
In the silent processing room, the robot arm is constantly moving, and a large and bright component is slowly formed, showing an amazing beauty.
Finally, the component is completed.
It looks a bit weird, like a glass drinking glass. The mouth of the bottle is extremely curved toward the outside, and then extends toward the bottom of the glass-at an angle, it looks like an exaggerated vase.
But in fact, it is neither a water cup nor a vase, and there is a huge round hole at the bottom, which makes it unable to hold anything.
It is an internal component of a nuclear weapon-the most important and core component of nuclear materials.
Its appearance is smooth like glass, and bright like a mirror, and each surface reflects the light of the lamp illuminating the room. It looks glorious and flowing, more exquisite than diamonds and crystals, like a piece of art.
In fact, it is indeed a work of art—an object created by the art of technology, the art of industry, and the art of destruction.
This is a "crystal heart" and a seed of annihilation.
Richard breathed in the protective suit, carefully picked up the processed metal uranium component, looked at it with his eyes, and after a long look he showed a thoughtful smile.
After such a long effort, I finally saw the reward, and finally saw the dawn of success.
It's not easy, it's not easy.
But it's worth it.
Worth it.
Richard spent more than ten seconds quietly enjoying the satisfaction of the success of the work, and then slowly put away the metal uranium components ~ EbookFREE.me ~ out of the room.
...
Now the fourth process of nuclear weapons manufacturing is also the most important one, but this does not mean that nuclear weapons have been produced.
On the contrary, there are still many tedious procedures before the nuclear weapons are actually produced.
Although these processes are not as important as the "crystal heart" metal uranium components, they affect the effectiveness of nuclear weapons.
The principle of nuclear weapons is very simple, but it is a highly precise industrial product. This leads to problems in any of its details, which will greatly reduce the power of the explosion and even prevent the explosion from happening.
In simple words, nuclear weapons have not yet been successfully manufactured and need to continue to work hard.
Then continue to work hard.
