Chapter 334 Uranium Ore
When he came back to his senses, Lei Luo turned his head and glanced at the rear, but saw that the direction he came from, the place where his teammates gathered, and the faint light from the bonfire had completely disappeared.

And judging from the inclination of the body along the way, and the feedback from the feet, the depth of the cave seems to be a slope leading to the ground.

"Is it this deep here?"

Feeling that his body was leaning slightly forward, Lei Luo circulated his chakra to concentrate on the soles of his feet, and only after he stabilized his posture did he look around again.

It seems that this place is already deep in the ground, and what is under the feet is no longer a hard rock wall, but a faintly moist soil, and the surrounding area is also pitch black, with only some ores protruding from the soil on both sides. It is still emitting a glowing light, which can barely be used for lighting.

But compared to the stalactite cave on the surface, which are mostly composed of crystals and ores of different colors, the color of the ores here is rather monotonous, and the light emitted is much dimmer.

They all present a kind of light yellowish dark green, with a faint asphalt-colored luster, which looks very strange, giving people a kind of eerie feeling, like a ghost.

For a moment, Lei Luo only felt that these ores exuded an inexplicable strangeness, and even vaguely gave him a sense of familiarity.

So, he casually picked out a fist-sized green ore from the soil beside him, held it in front of his eyes and observed it.

"Where should I have seen this thing..."

Fiddling with the ore in his hand, looking at the light green radiance emanating from its surface, Lei Luo quickly searched the memories in his brain, trying to find out the real source of the familiarity before.

One second, two seconds... one minute, two minutes...

After more than ten minutes had passed, Lei Luo suddenly remembered where he had seen this kind of ore.

If you guessed right, this thing... seems to look a bit like the ore he saw in a scientific research article in his previous life, and in a mission, he also happened to see this ore with his own eyes, and I touched it once.

No matter in terms of shape, color, touch, and the spiritual feeling it brought him, the ore in his hand seemed to be very similar to the ore in his previous life.

Could it be that……

"Is this... uranium ore?"

Lei Luo squinted his eyes, carefully looked at the light green stone in his hand that was faintly transparent, like a crystal, and asked in a muttered voice, holding up the ore The palm of his hand trembled slightly unconsciously.

But at this time, no one answered him.

Therefore, in order to verify the guess in his heart, Lei Luo decided to conduct relevant experiments as soon as possible to determine whether the ore in his hand was the kind of uranium ore he had seen in his previous life.

If it's really uranium ore... Lei Luo's eyes flickered wildly, and he forcibly suppressed all the thoughts that came to his mind, and began to recall certain experimental procedures that he had specially understood in his previous life.

It is very rare for Lei Luo to be so excited, but there is only one reason that can shake his mood to such an extent:
Uranium ore is the main raw material for making nuclear weapons.

If we briefly introduce the principle of this, first of all, uranium ore is a dangerous mineral with radioactivity.

Uranium is an extremely rare radioactive metal element, with an average content of only two parts per million in the earth's crust, making it extremely precious.

Uranium mainly contains three isotopes, namely uranium 238, uranium 235 and uranium 234, of which only uranium 235 is a fissionable nuclear element, which can undergo a chain nuclear fission reaction under neutron bombardment, and can be used as nuclear fuel for atomic bombs and nuclear power plants Reactor fuel.

Relevant information quickly flashed through Lei Luo's mind. He held the thing that looked like uranium ore with one hand, and made several imprints quickly with the other hand.

"Water escape. Fog concealment technique."

Silently, a faint mist shrouded the dark underground space, covering most of the light emitted by the surrounding ores, and only the faint light could barely be seen.

The technique of fog concealment was obtained by Lei Luo by searching for the memories in the shaman's brain, but this technique was really useless for ninjas of his level, so he never used it in battle.

However, now it can be used for experimentation, which can be regarded as waste utilization.

In order to better observe the nature of the ore in his hand, Lei Luo made some adjustments to the cast of the fog concealment technique, reducing the output of his own chakra, so that the concentration of the mist emitted by it is not high, in order to form a kind of other The experimental environment that can be used to detect the existence of nuclear radiation in the previous life—that is, the cloud chamber.

The purpose of doing this is to better observe every minute change of the ore in the water mist, and strive not to miss a single detail.

Lei Luo opened his eyes wide, and with the help of the faint brilliance emitted by other ores around him, he stared at the ore in his hand and the curling water mist floating around it without blinking.

In the slightly dim space, Lei Luo just stood there quietly, staring at the ore and the surrounding fog firmly, without any sign of impatience.

He was waiting, waiting for the change to happen, waiting for the ore in his hand to show its true nature.

Namely, radioactivity.

The time passed for about a few minutes, and suddenly, Lei Luo's eyes froze:
He saw an invisible, extremely tiny column of air emanating from the surface of the ore, flying into the surrounding mist, and disappeared after passing a short distance of more than ten centimeters.

This column of air is a force, a force that emerges out of nowhere, a force that is transparent, like an air bomb.

Its speed is so fast that it can be said to be fleeting.

The reason why it can be detected is because Lei Luo noticed:

In the mist, the path it passed left a tiny track along the way, a track that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye, as if some ants, or even smaller transparent substances, suddenly passed there.

Immediately afterwards, this first wave was like a fuse. After it crossed a transparent trajectory in the mist, more invisible waves burst out from the surface of the ore.

The scene at this moment is like the ore suddenly turning into a sun that continuously emits rays of light, sending countless invisible forces to the surroundings, leaving dense vacuum tracks in the mist.

It's also like, countless invisible mosquitoes and flies, jumping out from the surface of the ore at high speed, after a short distance, leaving extremely small tracks in the water mist, they all dissipate.

Taking all the changes around the ore into his eyes, Lei Luo finally came to a conclusion: that is, the ore in his hand was the famous uranium ore in his previous life.

In Lei Luo's previous life, there was also a famous name for the countless waves of waves continuously emitted into the water mist: that is, nuclear radiation.

After the Chakra in the Fog Hiding Technique gradually became unsustainable, and the mist around him gradually dissipated, Lei Luo held the uranium ore that seemed to have returned to normal, and was speechless for a while.
