C30 Quasi-nuclear Fission

Even though he had some personal grudges with Military Court, Ye Tian was very wise. With regards to the financial matters of Royal Labor Union, he could not drag Military Court in, at least for now. He could only rely on other methods to solve this problem.

Ye Tian thought for a while and asked again, "Aren't there still a second and a third manufacturing plant?" "It's not possible for all three factories to be in business at a loss, right?"

Ruan Ji smiled bitterly: "President, you're right." After a pause, Ruan Ji continued, "There are a total of three manufacturers in Royal Labor Union. One of them is responsible for the military equipment, the second one is responsible for the buildings and the earthwork, and the third one is responsible for the metals and the precious artifacts made from gold, silver, and jade."

Ye Tian nodded, motioning for him to continue.

The profits of the military equipment have been eaten up by the Military Court. The construction and earthwork are all paid for by the Ministry of Industry, if you want to get the final remuneration, you have to honor the Ministry of Industry, leaving behind a piece of metal equipment and precious handicrafts. President, you also know, the imperial concubines, as well as the princesses and mistresses of the royal family, love these kind of things the most. Ruan Ji said helplessly.

Ye Tian's mouth was agape. With just Royal Labor Union, he worked himself to death for half a day, finally gaining some value. Before he even had the money, he was already divided up between the Military and Government Academies and the royalty families.

After exiting the Royal Labor Union, Ye Tian got into the carriage and was extremely depressed. Originally, he came here to complain to Ruan Ji. Unexpectedly, he was poured into a belly full of bitter water by Ruan Ji.

They travelled hurriedly back to the Jade Lake West Garden, and just as they entered the door, Mei Rou immediately asked, "Master, it's almost the end of autumn, we need to buy back the Black Crystal as soon as possible. We need to warm up when winter arrives."

"Black Crystal?" Ye Tian looked at Mei Rou and suddenly remembered the item on his chest that was tied up.

Reaching out his hand, he took out a few pieces of Black Crystal that he had found on the streets. Upon closer inspection, they were shiny black and had a very regular shape, as if they had been meticulously carved.

However, Mei Rou said, "These are not enough. We need at least a carriage."

Ye Tian shook the Black Crystal in his hand and said: "What the hell is this? Is it not coal? "

Mei Rou smiled and shook her head. "Coal is a very old fuel and has long been out of date. Now, everyone uses Black Crystal, whether it's the time of combustion or the release of heat, Black Crystal are all far stronger than coal. "

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

Mei Rou took the Black Crystal from Ye Tian's hand and said, "If it's just a few of them, the stove can last about three to four days."

Ye Tian stared at him: "Just a few pieces, and it can burn for three to four days?"

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

Mei Rou covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sir, Jade Lake West Garden does not only come from one room, and each room has more than one room. "My lord, think about it. Your room has three rooms."

Ye Tian nodded and thought that he was careless. He couldn't figure out such a simple question.

With that thought, Ye Tian's attention returned to the Black Crystal.

With such a long combustion time and the release of a greater amount of heat, it was a sign that there was a great amount of energy contained within.

As a result of his profession, Ye Tian began to have a strong interest in the few black crystals in his hands.

Ye Tian didn't have time to continue talking to Mei Rou as he carried the Black Crystal back to his room.

After placing a piece of Black Crystal on a metal rack, Ye Tian found a fire piston and blew on it with the flame seedling. Then, he placed the fire piston under the Black Crystal and slowly lit the flame on it.

The entire Black Crystal slowly turned into a charcoal red color, but its surface did not have any flames, it was only gently burning.

Ye Tian stared at the red Black Crystal for an entire two hours. The charcoal red color did not change at all, which showed that it had been burning for a long time.

Ye Tian was eager to find a microscope to observe the molecular changes during the burning of the Black Crystal due to his desire to observe the chemical reaction.

But in this world, glass products are limited to magnifying glass, telescope level applications, has not reached the microscope level.

Ye Tian came to Mei Rou and Bi Ling's room in a hurry and asked, "Magnifying glass, do you have a magnifier?"

Seeing Ye Tian's exasperated look, Mei Rou couldn't help but laugh, "What does the lord want a magnifying glass for?"

"I'm going to do some experiments. Give me the magnifying glass."

Helpless, Mei Rou opened the drawer under the bed, took out a small magnifying glass and handed it to Ye Tian. "Here, only this one."

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

At this moment, Bi Ling opened her mouth and said, "What exactly does Master want to do? 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 microscopic?"

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment and then excitedly said: "Yes yes yes, it's called 'Microscope'. You still know this?"

Bi Ling laughed. "I am a person of Beast Clan, and naturally understand Nature Attribute Magic. Microscopy is only one of the lowest levels."

"Microscopy?"

Bi Ling nodded. "What exactly is it that you want to enlarge?"

Ye Tian brought Bi Ling into his room. He pointed at the burning Black Crystal on the metal rack and said, "This is it."

Bi Ling looked at the red Black Crystal. Both of her arms were wrapped around it as a curved space similar to a barrier slowly formed in her arms. Through the burning 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 enlarge it again?"

Bi Ling circulated her power slightly, and the surface of the Black Crystal changed again.

This time, the Black Crystal's molecular structure was clearly displayed.

Ye Tian had an excited expression on his face as he observed the recording.

After observing, Ye Tian concluded that burning was only the lowest method of using Black Crystal. The Black Crystal could only release 1% of its energy and was only used to heat up. It was truly a huge waste.

With Ye Tian's knowledge and experience as the chief Weapon Designer, the chain structure of the Black Crystal fully explained that it was a type of nuclear material. In other words, under certain conditions of excitation, the Black Crystal could undergo a fission reaction similar to that of a nuclear fission.

This thing can be used to make nuclear weapons.

Ye Tian was covered in cold sweat.

Who would have thought that the things every household used to keep them warm in the winter were nuclear bombs?

But soon, Ye Tian calmed down. Burning was not enough to trigger a nuclear fission reaction. The conditions to trigger a nuclear fission reaction were quite complicated. With the industry and technology of this world, it was still difficult to achieve.

Ever since he found out that the Black Crystal had a chain reaction structure, other than the morning assembly, Ye Tian pulled Bi Ling into the house to study his nuclear fission reaction.

After a few days, Bi Ling was also annoyed. She used magic to make a timing microscope. Ye Tian would give him one when he needed it, and dissipate when he didn't need it.

The Jade Lake West Garden was quiet during the day, but during the night, it was instead noisy. Ye Tian brought back a bunch of tools from Royal Labor Union. When night fell, he would beat around the bush and fire would frequently burst out of the house. Mei Rou and Bi Ling could not sleep well all night.

With the help of the microscope, Ye Tian could finally show off his skills.

Through careful observation, Ye Tian discovered that the Black Crystal was just a kind of nuclear material, its internal structure was much simpler than the real nuclear material, and there was no need for complicated techniques and conditions to activate the chain reaction. As long as there was a small enough impact needle and it struck the large chain of Black Crystal, it could split a large molecule into two small molecules, releasing a lot of energy.

At the same time, no matter how big or heavy a Black Crystal was, it only needed to trigger the chain reaction of one of the molecules. In other words, as long as there was a needle, it would be able to cause the entire piece of Black Crystal to undergo nuclear fission.

The key question is how to make the fission controllable.

If it was not controllable, the Black Crystal could only be used to make bombs, it could not be used for commercialization and commercialization.

Because of this, for an entire half a month, Ye Tian had been testing the effects of the speed and strength of the needles on the chain reaction of Black Crystal s.

However, other than being able to cause a chain reaction of Black Crystal s, there wasn't much difference in speed and strength when the needle struck the macromolecular chain. From the point of view of impact, it is impossible to control the fission reaction.

Ye Tian started to study the size and weight of the Black Crystal instead.

After repeated experiments, Ye Tian drew a detailed corresponding table between the size of the Black Crystal and the energy it produced. Using the data in the form, Ye Tian designed and created a flow controller for Black Crystal that was similar to an hourglass.

Through the flow controller of the Black Crystal, a large chunk of the Black Crystal in the container would be crushed and then flow into another container that was used for the chain reaction to control the energy and temperature.

After another half a month, Ye Tian suddenly shouted and ran out of the house one night.

When Mei Rou heard Ye Tian's scream, she thought it was an assassin. Immediately, she covered her body in golden armor and rushed out of the house with her war spear in hand. She looked around. With a wave of her hand, Bi Ling summoned a dozen falcons and flew into the air, closely watching the movements of the entire Jade Lake West Garden.

However, the assassin was nowhere to be seen. On the other hand, Ye Tian was screaming, "Success! I succeeded! Wahahahaha!"

Looking at Ye Tian's expression, Mei Rou and Bi Heng helplessly cried out, "Are you going to let me rest or not?"

Ye Tian dragged the sleepy Mei Rou and Bi Ling into the room. Mei Rou and Bi Ling rubbed their eyes and took a look. There was something similar to a wooden planer on the table in the middle of the room.

Ye Tian pointed excitedly at the wooden planer and said: "Do you know what this is? This is the world's greatest technological innovation, the controllable crystal nuclear fission energy release machine. "

"What what what what what?" Mei Rou and Bi Ling's eyes were wide open as they couldn't understand what Ye Tian was saying.
