    After seeing off the pilot, Chen Xin¡¯s attention naturally shifted to the batch of weapons-grade enriched uranium.

    This is a truly good thing and a great weapon.

    ¡°There are only a handful of countries in the world that can produce enriched uranium with such weapons-grade purity, and ordinary small countries simply do not have the scientific and technological strength and industrial strength to research related technologies.

    ¡°Coupled with the control and blockade of nuclear technology by the five gangsters themselves, it will be even more difficult for small countries to have the opportunity to research and manufacture such weapons-grade nuclear materials.

    If it were before the disaster, such a batch of nuclear materials that can make a tactical nuclear bomb with a yield of 100,000 tons would be very valuable. Although the cost of one kilogram of weapons-grade enriched uranium is about half a million US dollars, it is actually valuable at all.  There is no market, let alone ordinary people, even ordinary countries cannot buy it.

    "If anyone could resell such a batch of nuclear materials before the disaster, it doesn't matter whether the money earned would be life-saving, but at least they would not be able to spend that much money in a few lifetimes.

    If Chen Xin were not in Yan State, a nuclear power that has the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons and nuclear materials, he would not have easy access to this level of nuclear materials. Instead, he could consider buying some uranium ore and purifying it himself. After all, before the disaster  Uranium mines are only regulated and not expensive.

    But now that thanks to the country¡¯s blessing, Chen Xin has obtained this batch of weapons-grade enriched uranium, there is no need for Chen Xin to slowly purify the uranium ore and make enriched uranium himself.

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

    ¡°Some people may wonder, enriched uranium is obviously a raw material for fission reactions, how can it be used to build a fusion reactor?

    This is not because Chen Xin made a mistake or that he planned to use the system to forcibly upgrade the fission furnace to a fusion furnace, but it is indeed possible to build a fusion reactor through a fission furnace.

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

    The method of producing tritium is to use the neutrons produced by the fission reaction to bombard the lithium-6 compound target, and then a large amount of tritium can be obtained.

    After that, it is only necessary to enrich the tritium to more than 99% through thermal diffusion method, and then the fusion reaction can be used.

    Of course, what you get by doing this directly is just a violent thermonuclear fusion reaction, which is commonly known as a hydrogen bomb explosion, releasing huge energy in an instant.

    Therefore, every country in Blue Star that has the ability to study nuclear fusion is looking for ways to control the nuclear fusion reaction. This is the origin of the ideas of controllable nuclear fusion and cold nuclear fusion.

    With the system in hand, it is not difficult for Chen Xin to achieve controllable nuclear fusion and cold nuclear fusion. Even if he is willing to work hard, he can also create sci-fi power sources such as GN solar furnaces and antimatter reactors.

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

    So he doesn¡¯t plan to build anything too high-tech, not even cold fusion. He only plans to build a controllable thermonuclear fusion reactor.

    For this thermonuclear fusion reactor, Chen Xin's idea is not to add fuel to the reactor by adding fuel from the outside, but to install a fission reactor under the fusion reactor and directly bombard the target with the fission reactor.  To produce tritium and supply it as fuel for fusion reactors.

    This is why Chen Xinhui needs nuclear raw materials. Otherwise, even if he can make a stove, it will not ignite without fuel.

    As for why weapons-grade enriched uranium is used instead of fuel-grade enriched uranium, that¡¯s because according to Chen Xin¡¯s vision, he needs to use high-purity nuclear raw materials as fuel.

    "To be honest, seeing so many nuclear materials piled up in front of me makes my scalp go numb." In the warehouse where nuclear materials are temporarily stored, Chen Xin looked at the box used to store nuclear materials in front of him and the huge nuclear weapon on the box.  The radiation sign does give me a tingling feeling on my back.

    "Weapons-grade enriched uranium with a purity of over 90%. If this thing leaks out, I'm afraid many people will die." As a commander of a special forces, he has also performed many dangerous missions, so he can naturally understand how dangerous this thing is.  , how many people will take desperate risks and risk their lives for it.

    "So I would like to trouble you to keep an eye on it. Before I build the reactor, not even a gram of these things will be missing." Chen Xin looked at the commander, and the expression on his face turned serious: "These nuclear materials will be temporarily stored in  Here, I will continue to work in Linshi. After the work here is completed, these nuclear materials will be with me.Let's return to my own shelter together, where I will complete the manufacturing and loading of the nuclear fusion reactor, and then conduct a test run. You will be responsible for the security of this entire process.  "

    What Chen Xin said made the commander of the special forces look stern. Although he had been warned by his superiors before embarking on this mission and was mentally prepared, Chen Xin asked him to guard these important and dangerous tasks.  The nuclear material still made the commander breathe quickly.

    But his sense of mission and responsibility as a soldier made him almost instinctively reply to Chen Xin: "Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

    "This can be regarded as the extra trouble I have brought to you. Originally you only had to protect my safety, but now you are also responsible for the safety of these nuclear materials." Chen Xin also knew that he was causing trouble to others, but  These troubles are bound to occur.

    ¡°After all, it is weapons-grade nuclear materials. The country cannot hand them over to Chen Xiaojun so casually. If the special forces were not ordered to protect him, I am afraid the country would not hand over weapons-grade nuclear materials to him so easily.

    So from the moment they set off, this special force has been tasked with protecting the safety of nuclear materials and the fusion reactor that Chen Xin will build next.

    Fortunately, in the current environment, it is not too troublesome to protect the safety of Chen Xin and this batch of nuclear materials. As long as the military camp is guarded to ensure that this batch of nuclear materials does not leak out, there will be no problem.

    After all, there is no force in the Yan Kingdom that can break the military camp guarded by an elite special forces force, and can also steal things from the military camp and run away.

    "The existence of this batch of nuclear materials must be blocked as much as possible. The fewer people know about it, the better. I leave it all to you." Chen Xin didn't know what to do specifically, but he still proposed to the commander based on his impression.  meet their own requirements.

    The commander also nodded to this and replied firmly: "The fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. I will explain it to the soldiers responsible for protecting it and ask them to keep it secret." (Remember the website address of this website.  £ºwww.hlnovel.com
