Chapter 183 Spending Billions! Controlled Nuclear Fusion
Seeing that Chen Feng was not interested, Lin Wei did not continue the previous topic, but began to talk about knowledge about nuclear weapons.
"There are roughly two types of nuclear weapons, one is nuclear fission and the other is nuclear fusion, which are what we often call atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs."
"An atomic bomb is made using the fission chain reaction principle of heavy atomic nuclei such as uranium 235 or plutonium 239. It can kill and destroy through the huge energy generated by the splitting of atomic nuclei. A hydrogen bomb uses a special atomic bomb as a detonator to ignite the self-sustaining fusion reaction of light atomic nuclei such as deuterium and tritium."
It was not until twelve o'clock noon that Lin Wei finished telling Chen Feng all the knowledge about nuclear matters.
Chen Feng finally understood how to manufacture nuclear weapons.
He originally thought it was very complicated, but he didn't expect that making nuclear weapons would be much simpler than he thought.
The difficulty in manufacturing nuclear weapons lies only in the materials. It is easy to make as long as the materials are available.
Human beings have now achieved controlled nuclear fission, and it is precisely because of the success of controlled nuclear fission that humans can use nuclear energy to generate electricity.
But compared with controlled nuclear fission, controlled nuclear fusion is much more difficult.
According to Lin Wei's explanation, nuclear fusion reactions will produce a large amount of high-energy particles and radiant heat. These high-energy particles will cause serious loss and damage to the reaction vessels and materials.
Until now, humans have not developed materials that can carry such high-energy particles.
There is also the plasma core of nuclear fusion. With the current level of human technology, it is impossible to achieve stable control like nuclear fission.
This is also the reason why nuclear fusion is only used in nuclear weapons and not commercialized.
Because nuclear weapons only need to cause damage, the fusion reactions they produce do not need to be controlled.
Controlled nuclear fusion is a technology that scientists around the world are trying to break through.
Because once it is successfully developed, it can provide humans with inexhaustible clean energy and completely solve energy shortages and environmental problems.
The most important substances for nuclear fusion, such as deuterium and tritium, can be directly extracted from seawater.
After listening to the knowledge related to nuclear fusion, Chen Feng had an idea in his mind.
The existing materials available to humans cannot solve the problem of controlled nuclear fusion, but what about the materials in the world of immortal cultivation?
The magic weapons of low-level cultivators may not be able to withstand the high-energy particles of nuclear fusion.
But if there were magic weapons or higher-level materials, maybe it could be done.
Chen Feng didn't think too much about this matter. This kind of thing could only be tried later. What he had to do now was to quickly build nuclear weapons.
Lin Wei said at this time:
"Highly enriched uranium 235 can only be separated by special centrifuges. If you use this kind of centrifuge, it will be discovered immediately because it will produce highly radioactive substances. What are you going to do?"
Chen Feng said: "I will solve this problem, you don't need to worry about it. I just want to know if you can modify the centrifuge by yourself?"
According to Lin Wei, the uranium enrichment centrifuges in Sakura Country must be modified before they can be used.
Because the uranium enrichment centrifuges in nuclear power plants are used to make nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants, the enrichment level of the separated uranium 235 does not reach the level for making nuclear weapons.
Lin Wei nodded:
"That's no problem. Sakura Country's uranium enrichers are already very sophisticated. The uranium enrichers they manufacture are actually very sophisticated. They only need a simple modification to separate highly enriched uranium 235."
Chen Feng understood after hearing this. Although the defeated country is not allowed to manufacture nuclear weapons,
But there are certainly ways to quickly produce nuclear weapons.
After all, the technological level of the Sakura Country is not bad, they just don’t dare to build it directly.
"One more thing, I need you to help me build a small nuclear reactor, the kind used to generate electricity."
Chen Feng stated his other purpose, which was to provide power to the wind gate.
He didn't need a large reactor plant; a small one would suffice.
"That's no problem. Manufacturing a nuclear reactor is very simple." Lin Wei agreed without even thinking about it.
She has already agreed to help Chen Feng modify the uranium enrichment centrifuge.
It was naturally not a problem for Lin Wei to help Chen Feng build another small reactor.
To put it simply, a nuclear reactor is a power generation device that heats water.
It was very simple for her, nuclear fuel was the key to a nuclear reactor.
"Okay, I'll ship the centrifuge over later. How long will it take you to modify it?" Chen Feng asked.
Lin Wei thought for a moment and said:
"Five days should be enough, but how are you going to transport it? That thing should be very big, and it will be troublesome if someone finds it."
But she knew that this centrifuge was stolen by Chen Feng from Sakura Country.
If other people find out about this, it will definitely be a disaster.
This news is still very popular now. Not only has the International Atomic Energy Agency sent people to the Sakura Country, but various countries have also sent nuclear experts there.
Three centrifuges are missing, along with so much nuclear fuel.
This is enough to produce nuclear weapons, so countries are naturally very cautious.
Chen Feng said:
"I will deliver the centrifuge to the warehouse next to the institute. I will notify you when it is ready. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Lin Wei was puzzled as to how Chen Feng transported the centrifuge to the warehouse.
But Chen Feng obviously had a solution, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"I have made two more spiritual energy collectors in the past few days. You can take them."
Lin Wei pointed to the corner of the laboratory, where two large spiritual energy collectors were placed.
Seeing the two large spiritual energy collectors, Chen Feng smiled: "Thank you."
Now Xingfengmen only has one large spiritual energy collector, and Zhou Jing flies a helicopter to collect spiritual energy everywhere.
Chen Feng planned to go back and get a few more helicopters to the scroll world, and let Zhou Jing teach some Xingfengmen warriors how to fly helicopters, and then they could form a helicopter fleet.
This formation will not only help him collect spiritual energy in the future, but also serve as the air force of the Xingfeng Sect.
"You don't have to thank me, this is all your money." Lin Wei said nonchalantly.
The spiritual energy collector she made for Chen Feng, as well as the funds for research on spiritual energy, all came from Xingfeng Group.
Only a company like Xingfeng Group, with a daily revenue of more than 10 million, can sustain her crazy, money-burning research.
Hearing Lin Wei's words, Chen Feng nodded:
"If you need money, tell Li Xiaorou. There is one more thing."
Chen Feng then asked Lin Wei about the need for other equipment for manufacturing nuclear weapons.
According to Lin Wei, the key to making nuclear weapons lies in highly enriched uranium 235.
As for other materials and equipment, general military factories will have them.
The factory equipment that can produce ordinary ammunition can also make nuclear bombs. Although the precision may not be good, for Chen Feng, it is enough for it to explode.
He only needs to move the two military factories in the Golden Triangle to the painting world.
The only things you need to buy separately are safety equipment, which is pretty easy to source.
With his connections at Longke Institute, it wouldn't be a problem for him to find a channel to buy some.
This kind of thing is not a controlled material.
Chen Feng did not stay with Lin Wei for long. He left a bottle of spiritual liquid for Lin Wei for research and then left.
Xingfeng Group, General Manager’s Office.
Li Xiaorou is busy.
Today, Xingfeng Group is not only very famous in China, but also internationally.
It was also because of the last press conference that Xingfeng Group became popular.
At the same time, Li Xiaorou herself became a celebrity.
A beautiful female president and a benchmark of the new era, these are the comments made by netizens on the Internet about her.
Some of her classmates have also contacted her recently, and everyone has been very polite to her.
Li Xiaorou knew very well that everything she had now was given by Chen Feng. Without Chen Feng, she wouldn't be where she is today.
Therefore, she has always been very serious and responsible about the development and work of the group.
I do many things myself.
At this time, the female assistant ran into the office in a hurry.
Seeing the female assistant's anxious look, Li Xiaorou frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
The female assistant said excitedly: "Mr. Li, the boss is here."
Hearing this, Li Xiaorou immediately looked towards the door and saw Chen Feng walking in.
Li Xiaorou's originally serious expression immediately became gentle, and she quickly stood up and walked towards Chen Feng.
"Boss, you are finally back!"
Li Xiaorou directly took Chen Feng's hand and pulled him to the sofa.
Then he ran to pour water for Chen Feng.
At this moment, she has become Chen Feng's secretary again, instead of the cold and aloof female president in the eyes of outsiders.
As if noticing that the female assistant was staring at her, Li Xiaorou immediately said, "Get out and close the door!"
The female assistant curled her lips. Although she wanted to stay, she did not dare to disobey Li Xiaorou's order.
Seeing Li Xiaorou pouring water and preparing to peel fruit, Chen Feng said helplessly:
"Stop busying yourself. How is the group doing recently?"
Li Xiaorou put down the half-peeled fruit, walked to the desk in small steps and took a stack of documents.
"Boss, this is the financial situation of the group that I prepared, take a look."
Chen Feng immediately took the document and started reading it.
After watching for a while, he also understood the current operating status of Xingfeng Group.
The group's industries can generate more than 10 million in revenue every day, and the revenue is still growing every day.
In particular, Xingfeng Pharmaceutical has been in a state of supply exceeding demand, and both of its drugs have been very popular.
"I will send two million each of the Nourishing Essence Pill and the Healing Pill in the next two days. You can arrange to expand production directly."
Chen Feng put the documents on the table.
When he came back this time, his storage bag was filled with a large number of nourishing pills and healing pills, which were all purchased by Liu Qian before.
And this is only part of it. With the unification of the six countries by the Xingfeng Sect, low-level elixirs such as healing pills and nourishing pills are easy to obtain.
As long as you go to shops in various countries to purchase, you can receive a lot.
"Two million each?" Li Xiaorou lost her composure the moment she heard the number.
One Yangyuan Pill can produce ten Yangyuan Jianti Pills, and the current price of one Yangyuan Jianti Pill is two thousand yuan.
The revenue brought by the two million Yang Yuan Pills was as much as 40 billion!
"Boss, I will hold a group meeting tomorrow to arrange the expansion of production!" Li Xiaorou is full of energy at this moment.
Chen Feng nodded:
"Well, there's one more thing. I need you to help me purchase some things."
Chen Feng handed a list to Li Xiaorou.
Li Xiaorou was not surprised that Chen Feng asked her to buy things, as Chen Feng had asked her to buy things several times before.
She took out the list and started looking at it. As she looked at it, her expression changed.
"Boss, are you sure you want to buy these?"
Li Xiaorou's face changed because the quantity of things Chen Feng wanted this time was completely different from before.
The first thing is the purchase of power facilities on the list. According to the contents of the list, the purchased power facilities must be sufficient to fully electrify a small city.
There are a lot of cables, poles and transformers used in this, not to mention some lighting equipment.
Based on the purchase volume of this power facility, Li Xiaorou estimated that it would cost at least ten billion.
And this is just the first item on the list.
The second item is the purchase of transportation.
The number of cars purchased is 10,000, including cars of different types. If calculated based on an average price of RMB 300,000 per car, the total cost would be RMB 3 billion.
Compared with 10,000 cars, the 100 tons of gasoline that Chen Feng wanted to purchase on his list was nothing.
The third item of expenditure was what surprised Li Xiaorou the most.
Because they are all engineering equipment and building materials, the quantity and variety are very large.
Such as excavators, bulldozers, road rollers, concrete mixers
There are dozens of species.
According to Li Xiaorou's estimation, if one really wanted to buy all the items on the list, it would cost at least 10 billion yuan.
"Boss" Li Xiaorou's hands were shaking as she held the list.
Although Xingfeng Group currently has a daily revenue of 10 million, the group has not been profitable for long, and the group has only a few billion in liquid funds in its account.
And a large part of the money needs to be given to Lin Wei as research and development funds for the institute.
Chen Feng was going to buy things worth nearly 10 billion yuan in one go, which really made Li Xiaorou not know what to say.
And he didn't understand why Chen Feng wanted these things.
Last time Chen Feng only gave him 50 cars, but now he directly bought 10,000.
"I know you want to talk about the funding issue. Go to the bank to get a loan first, and I will make up the difference later."
Given the current situation of Xingfeng Group, it is not a problem to obtain a bank loan.
Besides, he will be able to pay back the money soon, just by waiting for the auction in the Golden Triangle to start.
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it later."
Li Xiaorou was a little panicked. She had never thought of taking out a loan of nearly 10 billion yuan at once.
The group was originally thriving, but now it has suddenly become a negative asset.
"Go contact them first and get it done as soon as possible."
Chen Feng stood up and prepared to return to the Xingfeng Gate to transport the uranium enrichment centrifuge.
Seeing Chen Feng was about to leave, Li Xiaorou called out to Chen Feng:
"Boss, wait a moment."
As she spoke, Li Xiaorou ran to the desk and took out a few sets of clothes that had not yet been unpacked.
"Winter is coming soon. I asked someone to make you some casual clothes."
Li Xiaorou put the clothes in front of Chen Feng and looked at him expectantly.
The last time I saw Chen Feng, the clothes he was wearing were very thin, so Li Xiaorou went to specially customize a few sets for Chen Feng.
Chen Feng took a look at the clothes and nodded: "Well, thank you."
He did not refuse Li Xiaorou's kindness. He picked up his clothes and left the office.
In fact, with his current foundation-building stage, he would not feel cold even if the temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
Moreover, after reaching the foundation-building stage, he was able to practice fasting and didn’t even need to eat.
After Chen Feng left, Li Xiaorou's face was filled with joy.
She started taking out her cell phone contacts to purchase the things on Chen Feng's list.
