Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

On the New Year's Eve of 1925, Emperor Zhao Xi congratulated the people of the Empire on the New Year by recording and broadcasting.

Originally, Lin Yi also needed to give a speech, but a major event happened in the meantime, which forced Lin Yi to go to Luocheng two years ago.

And this major event was the major achievement of the Burning Sky Plan.

Lin Yi can't wait until after the new year to go.

When Lin Yi arrived at Luocheng Station, he immediately went to the military base.

At this time, the person in charge of the base, Shi Chengyi, was already waiting for Lin Yi's arrival at the entrance of the base.

When he saw Lin Yi's car arriving at the door, he immediately stepped forward, opened the door for Lin Yi, and saluted Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi returned a standard military salute, he asked: "How is the situation?"

Hearing Lin Yi ask about the experiment as soon as he got out of the car, Shi Chengyi also had a smile on his face.

He stayed in Luocheng, a remote town, for three or four years, just for this moment?

As the person in charge of the entire base, he naturally knows what the base is researching and what it represents to the empire.

Now that the experiment has achieved significant results, he is naturally sincerely happy, because this means that his time over the years has not been in vain.

"Your Majesty, the experiment was successful. We have advanced the purity to 81%." Shi Chengyi said with some excitement.

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard Shi Chengyi's words.

"81%? Such high purity?" Lin Yi said in surprise.

He still remembered that at least the experts in the base concluded that with the current level of technology, the purity could be increased to 78% at most.

But now he was told that the concentration could be increased to 81%?

Don’t underestimate this small 3% improvement. The former's 78% purity can also make weapons, but its power is much less.

In later generations, this can only be called high purity, and only when the purity is increased to more than 80% can it be considered a qualified weapon raw material.

Moreover, only a purity of more than 80% can be called ultra-high purity and reach weapon level.

"How did you do it?" Lin Yi now wanted to know how Shi Chengyi and the others did it.

Shi Chengyi laughed, and then began to explain to Lin Yi the methods they used.

To put it simply, after the base obtains the uranium ore, it first uses acid leaching, then filtration and precipitation. After the output is obtained, it undergoes an oxidation reduction and finally uses a centrifuge.

At the same time, the centrifuge at this time was no longer the original version that Lin Yi had seen. Instead, through many improvements, the speed reached more than 39,800 rpm.

Although it still cannot reach the minimum speed of 40,000 rpm required by later generations, it is almost the same.

After several purifications, a finished product with a purity of up to 81% was obtained.

When Lin Yi heard Shi Chengyi's introduction, he called him a good guy. This is indeed a miracle with great strength.

"You are very good! You are indispensable for the empire to achieve its intended goals!"

"You will definitely be written into the history books in the future. Because, with you, the empire will not be afraid of any enemies in the future!" Lin Yi looked at Shi Chengyi and praised without hesitation.

Shi Chengyi also laughed when he heard Lin Yi's words.

"Take me to see the finished product first!" Lin Yi looked at Shi Chengyi and said.

Naturally, Shi Chengyi would not disagree.

When Shi Chengyi and Lin Yi walked into the entrance of the underground base and were about to arrive at the laboratory, the two of them put on heavy protective clothing.

Looking at the weight-bearing lead clothing on my body, I suddenly thought that these scientists have to wear such heavy protective clothing and stay in the laboratory for several hours every day.

They are the unsung heroes of the empire.

Lin Yi also thought about it. When he returns to the capital, he will tell Zhao He about the achievements of these people, so as not to chill the hearts of these scientists.

As soon as the two people put on protective clothing, a soldier immediately stepped forward and pushed open the load-bearing lead door.

When the lead door opened, Lin Yi saw a large number of scientific researchers busy inside the laboratory.

Lin Yi and Shi Chengyi walked into the laboratory, and the researchers who were still conducting experiments turned to look at Lin Yi.

Thinking about it, these people all knew that Lin Yi would be here today, so they all wanted to see what Lin Yi looked like.

However, the heavy protective cap hit Lin Yi's face. It was impossible to see Lin Yi's face.

At this time, a shorter man quickly walked up to Lin Yi.

"My lord, are you here?" the man said to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi heard this familiar voice and said with some confusion: "Are you Gu Baiyu?"

"Your Majesty, you have a good memory. You still remember me." Gu Baiyu nodded happily when he saw that Lin Yi could say his name correctly the first time.

Gu Baiyu was the first student from the empire to go to Europe to study nuclear physics. It can be said that Gu Baiyu and his group are currently the most familiar with nuclear physics in the empire.

And they are also responsible for the entire Burning Sky plan.

Lin Yi also nodded behind his helmet when he heard Gu Baiyu's words.

"Take us to see your results first." Lin Yi said in a deep voice.

Gu Baiyu nodded, then walked to another room, and with the combined efforts of several people, opened a door.

However, Gu Baiyu went in alone and soon walked out with a lead box in his arms. He put the lead box on the table with a bang?

Then in front of everyone, he opened the box, took out something with a metallic luster but looked like a lead weight, and held it in his hand.

Gu Baiyu held the piece of uranium and did not hand it to Lin Yi. Instead, he held it himself and took a few steps closer to Lin Yi so that he could see it more clearly.

"Is this what you are talking about, uranium with a purity of 81%?" Lin Yi asked curiously, reaching out to touch it.

But Gu Baiyu quickly took a step back and then said to Lin Yi: "Your Majesty, this thing is very dangerous. Your Majesty, it is better not to touch it."

When Lin Yi heard Gu Baiyu's words, he was stunned for a moment and then immediately realized what he meant.

Although the harmfulness of this thing will only be fully released after it is detonated.

But this thing, even in its ore state, has radiation, not to mention the purity of the piece in Gu Baiyu's hand now reaches 81%.

Lin Yi heard Gu Baiyu's words and nodded, indicating that he already knew, and then took a closer look.

How to describe this piece of ultra-high purity uranium?

It is silver-gray, with a metallic color. Although it is not as golden as gold, it is more valuable than gold of the same weight.

Likewise, it is much more dangerous.

After Lin Yi read it, he nodded to Gu Baiyu, indicating that he could put it away.

Seeing Lin Yi motioning for him to put it away, he put the piece of uranium back into the lead box and carefully closed the lid of the lead box.

After doing all this, Gu Baiyu put the lead box back into the original special room and closed the lead door heavily.
