Chapter 351
The reason why neutrons are chosen is that neutrons are electrically neutral. During the strikes of the nucleus, they are not subject to the force of the nucleus and can more easily penetrate the Coulomb potential.
As for the precision equipment mentioned by Adam, it refers to the accelerator. The importance of the accelerator does not need to be much. This high-level, precise, sharp, and integrated device is a necessity for the study of high-energy physics and particle physics.
Early manufacturing has the benefits of early manufacturing. Although it is not necessary to use it now, it can be used sooner or later.
Using neutron strikes uranium nuclei requires a neutron source that can stabilize radioactive neutrons. There are many sources of this, but the best and most convenient one is the metal californium (open).
Adam opened up a closed room, in which there is only the experiment operator Julius Super-Dimensional, the californium placed in the lead box, and the uranium that is in the particle orbit up ahead as the target nucleus. .
Mages who are doing other research gathered around them. Everyone knows that this research institute at first is in charge of Julius. The initial research project is what he is doing now, although now they They felt that this project was actually dispensable, but they still put aside their work and surrounded the observatory. It would be good if they found it, and they could laugh at Julius if they didn't.
After the preparatory work was completed, Adam announced: "The first neutron strikes uranium experiment, start."
Julius Super-Dimensional moved the shield in front of the lead box. Open, but nothing happens, no energy is emitted, no matter is generated, no mysterious phenomenon.
The two of them had filled the room with the most advanced observation magic array to ensure that every corner was in the observation range, but these microscopic particles were too small, and the existing magic array was still The appearance of the neutron beam cannot be observed.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they did not discuss each other, the regret in their eyes could not be concealed. The first experiment obviously failed.
Neither Adam nor Julius Super-Dimensional cares about a failure. Adam knows that the probability of inducing fission is not very high, especially when the shells are only low-energy neutrons. And Julius Super-Dimensional is firmly convinced that he can become an eighth mage. He has done countless experiments and failed countless times in the long years. Now he trifling once, he can't shake his will at all.
Various kinds of purification magic one after another appeared in the room. When everything was the same as at the beginning, Adam announced the start of the second experiment.
However, the result is still no result.
The next third, fourth time... a full twenty-four hours passed, and none of them succeeded.
One day later, Super-Dimensional Mage walked out of the room, ignored others, walked directly to Adam, discussed with him to adjust the test parameters, and walked in again.
For a few days, the two of them didn’t know what exhaustion was, but thousands of failures made the rest of the mage lose interest in watching. Adam simply separated this area. Leave yourself and Super-Dimensional Mage together.
Five days later, in the silent room until now, the energy indicator sirens finally sounded. The spirits of the two were shaken at the same time, and Julius Super-Dimensional teleported to the most target core. Next to the uranium, and Adam put his head against the monitor.
"We made it!" the two said in unison.
The two voices caught the attention of all mage. They teleported to Adam at almost the same moment and asked loudly: "Did you succeed? What did you find?"
Julius Super-Dimensional: "The uranium nucleus was hit by a neutron and split into two medium-mass nuclei!"
Adam: "A lot of energy is generated during the splitting process, and Two neutrons were released!"
Others failed to understand where their excitement was. One nucleus became two, and a little bit of energy was generated. This can be considered. A discovery worthy of pleasure? That point of energy, each of them, will be tens of thousands of times stronger if they release a little magical power.
"So? What's the use of this?" someone asked puzzledly.
Adam looked at Julius Super-Dimensional. This explanation should be given by him. However, Super-Dimensional Mage was immersed in the success just now and didn’t have time to pay attention to everyone, and immediately began to prepare for a new one. In the round of trials, he must be sure that this is not an accident.
Seeing this, Adam explained on his behalf: "The success of this experiment means that the nuclear fission reaction can be achieved in the mage world and in the ether void. This time the volume of the uranium used as the target nucleus is too small. The volume of uranium is larger, and fission produces chain reactions. After they are limited to a range, huge formidable power will be produced."
"Uh, what then? One more alchemical weapon?" Everyone Still don't understand, just a weapon, how important can it be? The mage world never lacks formidable power and huge things, any True Spirit magic is enough to destroy large planes.
Now, Adam finally has the confidence to say his thoughts: "No, its meaning is not to make weapons, but to apply this energy generation method to ourselves."
Adam tone barely fell, the mage eyes suddenly lit up, and someone tentatively asked: "You mean...magic power!?"
Adam without the slightest hesitation's nodded: "No Wrong is magic. If we can apply the phenomenon of fission to our own magic, when the time comes..."
"when the time comes, whether it is an instantaneous output or an energy reserve, it can be geometric The increase in multiples!"

The success of the first experiment and what Adam said were all circulated through the mouths of the Mages, and the reaction of the Council of Mages It was incredibly fast, and the resources were immediately allocated to the Institute of Atomic Energy, and the first-generation accelerator was completed in just one month.
In addition to the original crew, Super-Dimensional Mages from various Saint Towers, with the highest academic and research capabilities, rushed in, put down all projects and tried their best to overcome the fission chain reaction.
When developing the personal chip, Mage World just twisted a part of its power into a rope and loaned it to Adam, but now, all the resources of the entire world are left to Adam.
The speed of research is increasing rapidly, and the difficulties of each project are solved at the fastest speed under the wisdom of everyone.
Of course, the cost of funds is also amazing. The Council of Mages allocates tens of millions of ether crystals for research and development every half a month on average.
To master and consume so many funds, Adam is also under a lot of pressure. He knows that he must use the fastest speed to produce results.
Pressure generates power. Half a year later, before Twelfth's funds ran out, Adam and all the mage in the institute cheered at the same time. They finally produced the first atomic bomb in the mage world, equivalent to The size, two million tons.
