Alien King

Chapter 30 Quasinuclear Fission
Although there is a lot of personal grievances with the Military Affairs Council, Ye Tian is very wise. The financial problems of the Royal Trade Union cannot drag the Military Affairs Council into it.To solve this problem, we can only rely on other methods.

Ye Tian thought for a while, and then asked: "Isn't there a second manufacturing factory and a third manufacturing factory? It's impossible for all three factories to trade at a loss, right?"

Ruan Ji smiled wryly: "President, you are really right." After a pause, Ruan Ji continued: "The Royal Union has three factories in total. The first factory is in charge of ordnance, and the second factory is in charge of construction. and civil engineering, the third manufactory is in charge of metal utensils and precious handicrafts made of gold, silver and jade."

Ye Tian nodded, motioning for him to continue talking.

"The profits from ordnance have been eaten up by the Military Affairs Council in disguise. Construction and civil engineering are all paid by the Ministry of Industry. If you want to get the final reward, you have to pay tribute to the Ministry of Industry. There are only metal utensils and precious handicrafts left. President, you I also know that the noble concubines and ladies in the palace, as well as the princesses and ladies of the emperor's relatives, love these things the most. Before leaving the workshop of the third manufacturing factory, they were booked, and the people who came to make reservations were all in front of the emperor. Those of us, foremen, how dare we say no," Ruan Ji said helplessly.

Ye Tian opened his mouth, daring to love a royal trade union. After working hard for half a day, he finally got some surplus value.

Coming out of the Royal Trade Union, Ye Tian got into the carriage, feeling very depressed.Originally, I came here to find Ruan Ji to complain about my troubles, but I didn't expect to be filled with bitterness by Ruan Ji.

After rushing all the way back to Yuhu Xiyuan, as soon as they entered the door, Meirou asked, "My lord, seeing that autumn is coming to an end, we have to buy Heijing early, and we need to keep warm in winter."

"Hei Jing?" Ye Tian looked at Mei Rou, and suddenly remembered the hard knot on his chest.

He reached out and took out the few pieces of black crystals he picked up on the street, and took a closer look. This thing was black and shiny, with an extremely regular shape, as if it had been carefully carved.

Mei Rou said, "These few dollars are not enough, at least one carriage is needed."

Ye Tian shook the black crystal in his hand, and said, "What the hell is this? Isn't it coal?"

Mei Rou shook her head with a smile: "Coal is a very ancient fuel, which has long been outdated. Now people use black crystals. Whether it is burning time or heat release, black crystals are far stronger than coal."

"How long can this thing burn?" Ye Tian asked.

Meirou reached out to take a few pieces of black crystals from Ye Tian's hand, and said, "With just a few pieces, the stove can last for about three or four days."

Ye Tian stared: "Just a few yuan, can it be burned for three or four days?"

After pausing for a while, Ye Tian asked again: "That winter, only a few dozen yuan is enough, why do you need a carriage?"

Meirou covered her mouth and let out a chuckle: "My lord, Yuhu West Garden has more than one house, and each house has more than one room. Think about it, my lord, your house has three rooms."

Ye Tian nodded, thinking to himself that he was short-sighted, and he didn't turn around such a simple question all of a sudden.

Turning his thoughts around, Ye Tian's attention returned to Hei Jing.

Such a long burning time, coupled with greater heat release, is a sign of great energy.

Due to his profession, Ye Tian began to have a strong interest in the few black crystals in his hand.

Not caring about continuing to talk to Mei Rou, Ye Tian returned to the room with Hei Jing in his arms.

Putting a piece of black crystal on a metal shelf, Ye Tian found the fire pocket, blew on the flames, placed the fire pocket under the black crystal, and slowly ignited the black crystal.

I saw that the entire black crystal slowly turned charcoal red, but there was no flame on the surface, it was only burning gently.

Ye Tian stared at the red black crystal for an entire hour, but the charcoal red color did not change at all, which showed that its burning time was indeed very long.

Out of the desire for detailed observation of chemical reactions, Ye Tian was eager to find a microscope to observe the molecular changes of black crystals when they burned.

But in this world, the application of glass products is limited to the level of magnifying glasses and telescopes, and has not yet reached the level of microscopes.

In a hurry, Ye Tian came to Meirou and Biling's room, and immediately asked, "Magnifying glass, is there a magnifying glass with a larger magnification?"

Seeing Ye Tian's distraught look, Meirou couldn't help laughing and said, "What do you want a magnifying glass for?"

"I'm going to do an experiment, give me a magnifying glass."

In desperation, Meirou opened the drawer under the bed, took out a slightly smaller magnifying glass and handed it to Ye Tian: "Here, only this one."

Ye Tian held the magnifying glass that was obviously not as big as his hand, and sighed.

At this time, Bi Ling said: "What exactly is your lord doing, let me see if I can help you."

"Zoom in, I need to zoom in, at least a hundred times." Ye Tian said.

Bi Ling asked, "Isn't that a microscope?"

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Yes, yes, it's microscopic, do you still understand this?"

Bi Ling laughed: "I am an orc, and I am born to understand natural magic, and microscopy is only the lowest level of it."

"Microscopy?"

Bi Ling nodded: "What exactly does your lord want to magnify?"

Ye Tian took Bi Ling into his room, pointed to the red-hot black crystal on the metal frame, and said, "That's it."

Bi Ling looked at the red black crystal and embraced it with both hands. A curved space similar to an enchantment slowly formed in the bend of her arms.Through the curved surface of Bi Ling's arms, Ye Tian could clearly see the surface structure of the black crystal.

After observing for a while, Ye Tian asked again: "Can you zoom in again?"

Bi Ling used a little power, and the surface of the black crystal under the curved surface changed again.

This time, the molecular structure of the black crystal was clearly displayed.

With an excited expression on his face, Ye Tian observed and took notes.

After observation, Ye Tian came to the conclusion that burning is only the least efficient way of using black crystals.Burning the black crystal can only release one percent of its energy, and it is really a huge waste to just use it for heating.

Based on the knowledge and experience of Ye Tian's chief weapon designer, the chain molecular structure of the black crystal fully shows that it is a nuclear-like substance.That is to say, given certain excitation conditions, the black crystal can undergo a reaction similar to nuclear fission.

This thing can be used to make nuclear weapons.

Ye Tian broke out in a cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, the things that every household uses for heating in winter are nuclear bombs.

But soon, Ye Tian's mood calmed down again. Combustion is not enough to trigger nuclear fission reaction. The conditions to trigger nuclear fission reaction are quite complicated, and it is still difficult to achieve with the industrial and technological level of this world.

Ever since he discovered that Heijing had a chain reaction structure, every day except for morning court, Ye Tian dragged Bi Ling into the house to study his nuclear fission reaction.

After a few days, Bi Ling got annoyed too, so she simply used magic to make a timed microscope, and Ye Tian would give him one when he needed it, and it would dissipate by itself when he didn't need it.

Yuhu Xiyuan is peaceful during the day, but noisy at night.Ye Tian came back from the Royal Trade Union with a bunch of tools, and at night he would beat them, causing fires to burst out of the room.Meirou and Biling couldn't sleep well all night.

With a microscope, Ye Tian was finally able to show his talents.

Through careful observation, Ye Tian discovered that the black crystal is just a kind of nuclear substance. The firing pin hits the macromolecular chain of the black crystal, which can split one macromolecule into two smaller molecules, releasing enormous energy.

At the same time, no matter how big a black crystal is, it only needs to stimulate the chain reaction of one molecule, and the energy released can replace the firing pin and continue to excite the surrounding macromolecules.That is to say, as long as there is a firing pin, it can cause nuclear fission of the entire black crystal.

The key question is how to make fission controllable.

If it is uncontrollable, black crystals can only be used as bombs, and cannot be used for civilian and commercial purposes.

For this reason, for half a month, Ye Tian has been testing the impact of the speed and force of the firing pin on the black crystal chain reaction.

But apart from directly triggering the chain reaction of black crystals, there is not much difference in the different speeds and forces when the firing pin hits the macromolecular chain.From the impact point of view, it is impossible to control the fission reaction.

Ye Tian turned to research on the volume and weight of the black crystal.

After repeated experiments, Ye Tian drew a detailed correspondence table between the volume of the black crystal and the energy generated.Comparing the data in the table, Ye Tian designed and manufactured a black crystal flow controller similar to an hourglass.

Through the black crystal flow controller, the large black crystals in the container are crushed and then flowed into another container for chain reaction to control energy and temperature.

It lasted for another half a month, and suddenly one night, Ye Tian screamed and ran out of the house.

As soon as Mei Rou heard Ye Tian's scream, she thought another assassin was coming, she immediately put on a golden armor, with a gun in hand, rushed out of the room, and looked around.Bi Ling summoned more than a dozen falcons with a wave of her hand, and they flew into the air, watching closely the movement of the entire Yuhu West Garden.

However, the assassin didn't see him, but Ye Tian kept yelling wildly: "Successful, I succeeded, wow ha ha ha ha."

Seeing Ye Tian's appearance, Meirou and Biling exclaimed helplessly: "Is it going to make people calm down?"

Ye Tian dragged the sleepy Meirou and Bi Ling to the room.Meirou and Biling rubbed their eyes and looked at it. There was something like a planer placed on the table in the middle of the room.

Ye Tian excitedly pointed to the wood planer and said, "Do you know what this is? This is the greatest technological innovation in the world, a controllable crystal nucleus fission energy release machine."

"What, what, what, what?" Mei Rou and Bi Ling stared wide-eyed, unable to understand what Ye Tian was saying.
