Chapter 864 Spectacular
"The direction of the wind has changed? It's just the right time!" Yang Dongsheng immediately lifted his spirits.

He immediately called up the three-dimensional map, found XX Mountain, and was preparing for the next step...

But at this moment the phone rang.

Yang Dongsheng took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was Hu XX calling.

"When will Mr. Yang come back?" asked across the phone.

"I'm really sorry! I have a headache, so I won't be with you, you all have fun!" Yang Dongsheng said perfunctorily.

"This... Did Manager Chen leave with you?"

"Manager Chen? No! I helped him to the toilet door, and he went in by himself. Has he not gone back yet?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"I haven't come back. We just looked for the toilet, and there was no one there!"

"Otherwise? Can I still knock him out and put it in the trunk?" Yang Dongsheng asked back.

"Mr. Yang was joking. Let's look for it again. I'm bothering Mr. Yang!" The other party hung up the phone after speaking.

Yang Dongsheng hung up the phone and turned his gaze to the Grain Coast.

Under a base here, hundreds of tons of plutonium-239 produced by Yang Dongsheng using fast breeder reactors over the years are stored.

These plutonium-239 are kept at a purity of less than 1%, and are also doped with a large amount of cadmium and silver to absorb the neutrons released by the natural decay of plutonium-239.

He first carefully obtained two small pieces of plutonium-90 with a purity of more than 239%.

He has simulated this production process many times before using gold with a similar density. The two pieces of plutonium-239 do not exceed the critical mass, but putting them together will definitely exceed the critical mass.

Then Yang Dongsheng looked at another factory on the Grain Coast.

Compared with the huge power consumption required to enrich uranium and plutonium, the preparation of lithium deuteride-6 is much simpler.

Lithium hydride is a desiccant and a commonly used hydrogen storage material. Many companies can produce lithium hydride.

At present, the method of preparing lithium hydride on a large scale in various countries is to use metal lithium hydrogenation.

Fill the crucible with high-purity metal lithium and put it into the hydrogenation furnace.

Vacuum the inside of the furnace, then supply power to the hydrogenation furnace to raise the temperature, and then feed high-purity hydrogen at a certain flow rate.

When the temperature rises to the maximum hydrogen absorption temperature, stop heating and keep warm until there is no hydrogen absorption reaction.

However, it is not realistic to expect to extract lithium deuteride-6 from lithium hydride.

Natural lithium is composed of two stable isotopes, lithium-6 and lithium-7, and the content of lithium-6 is 7.5%.

The content of deuterium is lower, and in natural hydrogen, it only contains 0.0139% to 0.0156% deuterium.

Therefore, in normal lithium hydride, the content of lithium deuteride-6 is generally only 0.001%—that is, about one hundred thousandth, and each ton of lithium hydride contains about ten grams of lithium deuteride-6.

If you want to produce a large amount of lithium hydride, you have to use some means.

Just then, the phone rang again.

Yang Dongsheng looked at the phone number, it was still Hu XX.

"Has anyone been found?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"The person was found, but there is one problem." The person on the other side of the phone was a little embarrassed.

"what is the problem?"

"Manager Chen said that Mr. Yang just tricked him to the lake and pushed him down the lake!"

"Nonsense!" Of course Yang Dongsheng would not admit it.

"I don't think it's possible either! It's just that it's convenient for Mr. Yang to come over here? Please explain clearly if there is any misunderstanding!"

"How to explain this kind of thing? He insisted that it was me, and I don't have any witnesses! Please tell him, if you want to buy ethane, you should buy it in a regular way, and don't engage in so many crooked ways!" Yang Dongsheng said while hanging up the phone.

Several voices came from the opposite side of the phone, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang..."

Yang Dongsheng looked at the phone that rang again. Under the anger just now, he was indeed a little impulsive, and he was not careful enough.

After thinking about it, he called Yang Haisheng again and asked Yang Haisheng to arrange a lawyer to handle the matter.

In natural hydrogen, the content of deuterium is 0.0139% to 0.0156%.

Large-scale production of deuterium gas is the key to large-scale production of lithium deuteride-6.

The methods for producing hydrogen in industry mainly include electrolysis of water and hydrogen production from natural gas.

But for the Grain Coast, there's an easier way.

They now have a full set of steel production technology, and one of the byproducts of coking is hydrogen.

According to the group of people engaged in clean energy, this hydrogen is called gray hydrogen.

In natural hydrogen, the content of deuterium is 0.0139% to 0.0156%, and coal is no exception.

As long as the coking coal containing deuterium is enriched together, the hydrogen by-product of coking is also deuterium.

For a coke oven with an annual output of one million tons, one day's output is enough for them to use for many years.

The production method of lithium-6 is also similar!
Through this method, over the years, the Grain Coast has stockpiled dozens of tons of lithium deuteride-6—despite the cover, they have been carefully producing it so as not to be discovered.

In a thermonuclear weapon, one kilogram of lithium deuteride-6 could release 4 to 5 kilotons of TNT equivalent.

Yang Dongsheng didn't release too much, only more than 100 kilograms.

After collecting the two materials, Yang Dongsheng turned his gaze back to Asia.

The principle of the atomic bomb is very simple, the difficulty is to produce highly enriched uranium-235 or plutonium-239.

The manufacture of thermonuclear materials is not difficult, but the difficulty is to make these thermonuclear materials undergo fusion.

If the atomic bomb is simply wrapped with a layer of thermonuclear material, then after the atomic bomb explodes, the thermonuclear material will only be blown to pieces.

The layer of uranium-238 wrapped outside the general three-phase bomb is not enough to support the six-fission of lithium to produce tritium, and then undergo a thermonuclear reaction with deuterium.

At best, let part of the lithium six fission.

This is why, except for the Wuchang, other countries with atomic bombs can only produce enhanced atoms at best, but not thermonuclear weapons.

For thermonuclear fusion to occur, the radiation must first reach the thermonuclear material, allowing lithium six to fission into tritium.

Then the high temperature and high pressure generated by the atomic bomb explosion arrives again, causing deuterium and tritium to fuse.

How to control the sequence involves the top secret of Wuchang.

Yang Dongsheng also understood the principle after referring to the nuclear bomb discovered in Greenland.

Since there are still several countries that have not developed thermonuclear weapons, the specific details will not be described here.

In short, after setting up the "things" and placing them on the top of the magma chamber, Yang Dongsheng retreated extremely quickly, all the way to the high altitude, overlooking the mountain.

After all, this is a nuclear explosion, and he can't guarantee whether his ability can withstand this kind of explosion.

"Nagasawa-chan, Goto-chan, welcome to China to develop!"

……

But after waiting for several minutes, there was no vibration that should have occurred.

Yang Dongsheng hesitated for a moment, and was about to go deep into it to see what went wrong.

At this time, the mountain trembled, and the whole mountain first sank suddenly, and then rose rapidly again.

First, some smaller stones could not hold up the pressure of the ground, and flew out like shells fired from the chamber.

Immediately afterwards, an opening was seen on the top of the mountain, and billowing magma gushed out of the opening.

The orientation of the crater is not very good, and the magma mainly flows to the valley in the northwest.

But it doesn't matter, there are mountains to the west and north.

After the magma quickly filled the valley in the northwest, it overflowed from the valley and poured down to the southeast. The scene was extremely spectacular!
