Release that Witch - Chapter 1223

[Chapter 1192 The Wind Chaser (Part 1)]

The neutron source can be understood as a fission catalyst. With the extra neutrons it provides, even uranium 235 below the critical mass can be efficiently split.

Theoretically, polonium and radium separated from uranium ore can form a neutron source with beryllium. There is no technical difficulty in this, and it is purely based on the characteristic that beryllium will release a large number of neutrons when it is bombarded by alpha particles. It only works when put together.

All three are naturally occurring substances, and their feasibility is undoubtedly much higher than those artificial elements that are extremely difficult to serve or require complex processes to produce.

As for Roland’s choice of polonium instead of radium in the end, it was purely out of safety considerations-although the half-life of polonium 210 is short, it is basically alpha decay, and the output of gamma photons is extremely low.

That said, it’s almost as safe as uranium, as long as it’s not ingested.

But radium is different. Whether it is the radon gas that decays later or the gamma photons emitted by itself, they are all potential safety hazards that cannot be ignored.

In order to avoid accidents during the experiment, the polonium-beryllium neutron source has become the most suitable choice.

In addition, beryllium also has the characteristic of reflecting neutrons. If it is used as the outer shell, it can further increase the utilization efficiency of neutrons.

If the two are used at the same time, and a sufficient amount of uranium 235 is added, even the simplest and most reliable gun structure can achieve good results.

However, beryllium is widely found in emeralds. Such a mineral with distinctive characteristics saves Azima the effort to search for it through mountains and rivers. It only needs to release news through merchant channels and buy it widely in the four kingdoms.

Roland is very clear about the level of technology in Neverwinter City – the principle of brilliant radiation is simple to say, but every 10% increase in the utilization rate is a threshold, from 1% to over 90%, without the need for massive theoretical calculations and Experiments have corrected that if the energy release is not achieved with high efficiency, it will be impossible to miniaturize weapons, and the weapon-grade uranium that has been accumulated with great difficulty will also be wasted.

Without Lucia, the loss of refining alone would be an insurmountable peak.

But in the same way, hand-rubbing nuclear bombs is not just a joke when the loss is affordable, or the loss is not considered.

The technical thresholds vary widely, but the principle remains the same. Thanks to the inherent advantages of mass-energy conversion over chemical gunpowder, even if only 1% of uranium participates in fission, its power is enough to turn the tide of the war.

In the face of this life-and-death battle that determines the fate of the ethnic group, he will definitely do his best.

What’s more, isn’t it a kind of romance in itself to steal divine fire and shorten the distance between humans and the sun in such a barbaric era?

As long as there is a chance, he is willing to try.

“Very good, keep it like this.” Roland patted Lucia on the head, “When all the lead cabinets are full, the formal experiment can begin.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Lucia said energetically.

*******************

At the same time, Neverwinter City, Aerial Knight Academy.

This area located on the west side of the new research institute, which also occupies a huge area, is quiet—today is the day when the students are on vacation, and most people leave the campus early to enjoy the time of reunion with their families, but Goode is an exception.

“Upwind, press the bar!”

“Crosswind, roll!”

He sat on the simulated cockpit, set the wind direction for himself, and responded according to the regulations in the “Flight Manual”. car.

The temperature in the training room was rather sweltering. After practicing for a long time, his back was soaked in sweat, and beads of sweat dripped from his chin from time to time, sprinkled on the simple “dashboard”.

It wasn’t until the grip slipped that Goode stopped, leaning on the chair and letting out a sigh of relief.

After nearly half a year of study, he is no longer the ignorant layman at the beginning. The “Flight Manual” compiled by Her Royal Highness can be said to be fluent, and the basic operations can be said to be all printed in his mind.

From being in a hurry when boarding the bridge at the beginning, to now you can operate according to the password with your eyes closed. If you give the order to yourself, you don’t even need to say it. As long as you have a thought, your body will react immediately.

But will it make you fly?

No matter how he imagined it, he couldn’t picture the scene of going upwind in his mind.

“Capture the direction and size of the wind, feel the posture and tremor of the body, and then apply the coordinated operating force” – this is the original words in the manual, but he has no idea what kind of feeling it is.

No matter whether he gently pulls halfway or pulls to the end, the bridge will not give him any feedback. As for the “dashboard” drawn with ink lines, it seems to be mocking his efforts.

The more proficient the movements, the more frustrated Goode felt.

Just when he was a little upset, the door of the training room was suddenly pushed open with a creak.

“You really are here—”

“Well, I guess right?”

Goode turned his head back and looked at the two people who entered the room in surprise—they were Finkin and Heinz from the same team, “Why do you…”

“Don’t use the vacation to have fun?” Finkin whistled, “Because the fun is in the academy.”

“It’s you, it’s fine if you don’t have a family, don’t you have a lovely younger sister?” Heinz stepped forward and grabbed his neck, “She told me to tell you not to be tired, tsk tsk… so good.”

Gude’s expression tightened suddenly, “Wait, you two went to where I live?”

“Nonsense, otherwise, where can we find you?” Finkin raised his eyebrows at him, “Her name is Rachel, right? How about introducing us?”

“Don’t even think about it,” Goode glared back at the other party.

“Are you thinking that our conditions are not enough?” Finkin objected, “At least I still have a formal residence in Chishuihe community!”

Good was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly, “It has nothing to do with you, but my sister… Rachel’s own problem. You don’t want to be with her.”

“Why? I think she’s pretty good,” Heinz asked puzzled.

“Let’s hear it?” Finkin also looked curious.

“Don’t ask this,” Goode said angrily, “Tell me something else—what do you mean by the fun you said earlier?”

Finkin didn’t continue to entangle, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “Do you want to try a real plane?”

Goode couldn’t help but froze, “What did you say?”

“I saw it when I climbed the fence a few days ago,” Finkin showed a slightly smug smile, “Several new planes have been transported into the warehouse of the flying field. Although they are covered with cloth, they are all similar to the princess in terms of size. The Unicorn piloted by His Highness is similar. In other words, it is the plane prepared for us!”

“A few days ago? Why didn’t you say it then?”

“I’m afraid you’d get too excited and leak the news.” He shrugged. “And today is a holiday, and there are only a few people in the academy. It’s a chance to sneak in and see her true face!”

“You’re crazy!” Gude didn’t dare to say anything, “We can’t enter the flying field without permission!”

“Those soldiers won’t let you in, okay?” Finkin gave him a blank look, “Of course we’ll take another route, and don’t go through the flying field.”

“But……”

“We’re just going to take a look,” Heinz also chimed in. “You should feel it. Her Highness Tilly has been smiling a lot less recently, and her training has become a lot stricter. If things go on like this, maybe you’ll have to wait.” It takes one or two months to really touch it. Compared with this crude wooden platform, don’t you want to see what the plane we are going to look like in advance?”

“If you don’t want to go, we’ll go first.” Fin Jin frowned.

Goode hesitated for a long time, and the boring and dull creaking sound of the wooden poles echoed in his mind again, as well as the bewilderment that he could not feel any progress no matter how hard he practiced, finally he bit his lips, nodded and said, “I’ll go, lead the way Bar.”
