Three days later.
Qiao Nian took the result of 56% purification, faced Bethea, Black Man and others, and leaned on the island to speak casually.
"The explosion of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs is based on the two nuclear reactions of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion."
"During these reactions, the mass and energy of the nucleus undergo dramatic changes, releasing enormous amounts of energy."
Qiao Nian raised his hand, pointed at the complex formula on the blue light tablet not far away, and continued speaking calmly.
"Although the explosion mechanism of nuclear weapons is complex, it also involves chemical reactions. For example, in the explosive device of an atomic bomb, the explosive explosion system is used to compress or compress the nuclear fission components to reach a supercritical state. In this process , the explosive reaction is a chemical reaction, and the nuclear fission reaction it triggers is a nuclear reaction.”
"So what do you mean?" Bethea interjected thoughtfully upon hearing this.
In the laboratory filled with the smell of chemical reagents, the white light overhead shone on Qiao Nian's body. She was wearing neat chemical laboratory clothes, with a few faint traces of reagents visible on the white fabric.
"The next step is to prepare plutonium-239."
The girl's figure is tall and straight, her eyes are firm and bright, as bright as stars. Every movement is full of confidence and calmness, and the clear and powerful voice echoes in the laboratory.
"Plutonium-239 is usually produced in a nuclear reactor by irradiating uranium-238 or already enriched uranium-235 with neutrons, which also involves a combination of chemical and nuclear reactions."
"I want to participate in the 'Faded One' explosion reaction experiment."
"No." Bethea's first reaction was to refuse. She touched her lips lightly and said bluntly: "Only high-level scientists are qualified to participate in the explosion reaction experiment of faded people. You have only been in the Sixth Continent not long ago. According to the Sixth Continent, According to the regulations, you cannot participate in the explosion experiment." "OK." Qiao Nian shrugged casually, raising his eyebrows and raising his eyes slightly: "Then I refuse to take the next step."
"Chemist!" Bethea called her angrily.
"It's because I'm not from your Sixth Continent, so I don't want to abide by your rules. I ask to participate in the whole process because I am responsible for my own research. I want to watch the nuclear fusion reaction to adjust my own data and modify what needs to be modified. If I want to be responsible for my own research, I must follow the whole process." Qiao Nian opened her lips lightly, and every professional term she spoke was like a precise note, a clear explanation, and an in-depth explanation, which made people around her react with surprise. .
After a few days of getting along with each other, they had already gotten a feel for the character of this weird-tempered chemist.
She was indeed a loner, and she was indeed...different.
He even dared to fight Karl, and the proposal and the whole process seemed not that difficult to accept.
After all...this is a chemist.
"Of course, you can reject me. But I won't waste my time and energy on researching the next step. You can consider it." Qiao Nian's slender black eyes were full of concentration, quite serious, but also radiant. Shoot, it’s so cool that you can’t take your eyes away.
Bethea's temples were beating wildly, and the eyes looking at her were shocked, angry, and vaguely helpless.
"Why do you need to embarrass me?" She paused: "I don't have this authority."
"Then ask the person with this authority." (End of Chapter)
