Chapter 409: Chapter 397: Spallation Neutron Source and the Terrifying Radiation!

The second one is the reactor neutron source, which, as the name implies, uses nuclear fission reactors to generate a large number of neutrons.

However, if he were to manage to create a nuclear reactor now, there wouldn’t be the need to worry about how to “ignite” a nuclear explosion!

So, this method could only be ruled out!

The third one is the accelerator neutron source, which utilizes various charged particle accelerators to accelerate particles such as protons or deuterium, and then bombards a target nucleus to generate neutrons.

Its advantage lies in the intensity of the neutrons obtained are much greater than those from radioactive isotope neutron sources, and it can obtain monoenergetic neutrons across a wide energy range.

Simply put, the principle behind these methods is the same—that is, particles or rays strike an element serving as the target, knocking out neutrons from within!

Indeed, it is that ‘simple,’ otherwise it wouldn’t be said that the progress of human weaponry is just exploring how to throw a ‘stone’ faster and more accurately—the only issue being that there are not many elements suitable for use as targets.

After carefully studying the information, Lynn came up with a rather complex solution.

He thought about using alpha particles to bombard nitrogen nuclei to create protons, and then use high-energy protons to strike against heavy metal targets to obtain neutrons!

In this way, the variety of elements for the targets suddenly increased, with gold, tungsten, tantalum, molybdenum, and other elements all being viable targets.

The only problem was that this would make the entire process very cumbersome, requiring the creation of a large number of protons first, then using strong magnetic fields to accelerate these protons to bomb heavy metal targets to produce neutrons, and finally triggering a nuclear explosion!

How to conceive an intricate spell for nuclear explosion magic, with all the complex steps shortened to within ten seconds, became a resurfacing issue.

These days had virtually wrecked his brain…

After pondering, Lynn decided to hand this challenge over to the wizards of the Council, reasoning that a group brainstorming would always be faster than him thinking alone.

While Harrov and others might not be as proficient in scientific research as he was, they had rich experience in developing magic, and perhaps could find a solution to the problem from the perspective of magic.

As a result, Lynn began delegating each ‘task.’

Aurora was responsible for the experiment of using alpha particles to bombard nitrogen nuclei to create protons; Vittorio, Anthony, and several great wizards who had learned Thunder Magic went to study particle accelerators, and he, along with Harrov, set out to tackle the neutron source!

As for the formal wizards, all were sent to search for deuterium!

Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen, also known as heavy hydrogen, and it is the most important element in upgrading an atomic bomb into a hydrogen bomb!

In his past life, this matter could be found in both seawater and regular water, though in extremely low concentrations, with an abundance of 0.015% on Earth.

Under Lynn’s arrangements, almost every wizard had something to do, all immersed in exploring the microcosm.

“In that case, let’s delay the evaluation of the research awards until we have concrete results,” Harrov spoke thoughtfully.

The other party had made such a grand initiative, involving all the wizards of the Council, and claimed that the magic being developed could defeat the false god.

Clearly, a Silver Moon Medal would not suffice.

And since the issuance of the Corona Medal must be taken with utmost caution, Lynn was not planning to explain the principles behind the new magic.

So it was difficult for them to judge, better to wait and see the results before assessing, to avoid any blunders, and turning the award into a joke.

Lynn nodded, not really caring much about receiving medals; power and knowledge were what he considered most important for a wizard, and glory was merely a derivative of these two.

“Then let’s bring today’s discussion to a close!” Vittorio declared, unable to wait to start researching the so-called particle accelerator.

The council members participating in the meeting had some reluctance to leave, still discussing the Star Orbital Model of elements or speculating about the level of magic that Lynn, the star of magic, could achieve with such a grandiose display.

As the subject of everyone’s discussion, Lynn was busy packing up the radioactive elements used in the experiments, carefully enclosing them in lead boxes.

“Master Lynn, is this box designed specifically for storing new elements?” Rafael noticed Lynn’s actions and inquired curiously.

To him, it might be a method to suppress the scatter of radioactive elements, allowing these new elements to retain their energy longer for sustainable storage.

“No, to be precise, it is used to isolate radiation!” Lynn shook his head and explained, then slapped his forehead, looked at the still-present wizards, and warned seriously.

“Right, I forgot to mention, the two new elements extracted from the Demon Stone are extremely dangerous, and the particles they emit are hazardous.

Remember to take protective measures during experiments, otherwise, the consequences can be very serious…”

“Aren’t you being a bit alarmist, Master Lynn?” Rafael frowned, somewhat reluctant to believe Lynn’s assessment.

Alpha particles are emitted from the cores of elements and represent the most fundamental force of magic…

Besides, although these particles are fast, the experiments just now had already proven that they would unobstructedly pass through the elements or be rebounded by the nuclei without causing any damage.

Lynn glanced at Rafael, clapped his hands, and said, “Just right, I conducted an experiment, and you can see what happens.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

This is what rats look like after being continuously exposed to the new elements for several days!”

Pearce immediately brought over ten mouse cages.

Rafael and the others leaned in curiously for a closer look, then their expressions drastically changed because the mice inside the cages were unrecognizable.

Seven of them appeared to be barely alive, with swollen bodies and rotting skin, and internal cancerous growths developing…

The remaining three seemed slightly better off, but it was evident that they had started to show similar symptoms.

Such a horrifying scene sent chills through everyone present.

“It seems that the radiation emitted by uranium elements is indeed very frightening,” Rafael said, clinging to a sliver of hope, trying to remain composed.

Since uranium made up the vast majority of the Demon Stone’s mass, while radium constituted only a tiny part, Rafael presumed the former was at fault!

“No, on the contrary, Master Rafael!” Lynn said with a hint of amusement.

“I suspect that this radium is the real culprit behind the miners’ fainting, illness, and death because its radiation intensity is hundreds of times higher than that of uranium!”

Hundreds of times?!

Your face turned pale at the revelation, and a female wizard who was playing with a fluorescent glass suddenly screamed and threw the glass far away without a moment’s hesitation…
