Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 654: Uranium Extraction Begins

Li Yunlong, who was supervising in Qinshui, sneezed. He didn't know that this time he was the one taking the blame for Chu Yunfei and was scolded by Ningci Okamura.

However, even if he knew it, it wouldn’t matter. Old Li doesn’t care about it.

If Li Yunlong knew that the old Japanese devil Gangcun Ningci was scolding him, he would probably not be angry but very happy. He finally found an excuse to attack, how could he not smile?

I was just worrying about not having an excuse to start a war, but now the excuse has been delivered to my doorstep.

However, such things are just imagination.

"Da Biao, Yang Xing, do you think Chu Yunfei can ambush the Japanese this time?"

Li Yunlong had nothing to do, so he opened a betting site with Zhang Dabiao and Yang Xing, which was a way to have some fun in this boring engineering protection work.

"I think it's okay. After all, we have given them so much equipment. If you give me so much equipment, let alone the 155mm howitzers, just look at these 107mm rocket launchers and fuel-air explosive bombs, I would dare to ambush these little devils.

What a pity, we were not given this opportunity."

Zhang Dabiao touched his chin and said with some regret.

"I think so too. After all, their artillerymen were trained by us, and I know their strength. Bombing these devils shouldn't be a problem. If they can ambush and destroy the railroad tracks to prevent the devil's special train from moving, it shouldn't be a problem to take down these devils.

However, given their artillery capabilities, they are unlikely to be able to provide full coverage, so it is hard to say how many fish slipped through the net."

Yang Xing considered it for a while and gave his own judgment.

Li Yunlong took a look at his two subordinates. He originally planned to set a trap to defraud some allowances from them, but these two guys were so shrewd that they didn't fall into his trap.

Old Li glared at him: "Yang Xing, you bastard, don't teach me everything!"

"Hey, don't worry, Captain. I won't teach you what I shouldn't. They are not our comrades. What if we teach them and they turn around and attack us?

We have suffered a lot in the past.”

Li Yunlong took a look at Yang Xing, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He didn't expect that this guy also had black water.

"That's fine. According to the current situation, I estimate that the southwest is more prepared for us than for the Japanese. I think we will have to fight another battle sooner or later."

Old Li finished the cigarette in his mouth in one gulp, put the cigarette butt on the ground and twisted it hard with his feet. He was actually looking forward to having a good fight with Chu Yunfei, but it depended on whether this guy would give him the chance.

"Da Biao, how is the progress of our mining now?"

"Captain, I just confirmed with Mr. Zhong Gong this morning. He said that the exploration has been completed. He will leave three students here to take care of it, and the others will follow him to explore other places.

I heard that mineral veins were also discovered near Taiyuan."

"Near Taiyuan?"

"Yes, Captain, this is the information that Taiyuan directly communicated with Mr. Zhong Gong."

"This is a good thing! It's great!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh excitedly. This was a great thing.

"Good news? Captain, why are you so excited?"

Zhang Dabiao didn't quite understand why Lao Li reacted so strongly. Logically speaking, it was a very happy thing that we discovered a new mineral vein, but it had nothing to do with the Independent Regiment. Was the regiment commander so excited?

"Da Biao, you are still too young. Mineral deposits have been discovered near Taiyuan. Are Mr. Zhonggong and his team going to explore?

Do you think Mr. Zhong Gong is an important technical talent for our side?

Do you think we should send a large force to escort them?

answer me! "

When Lao Li said the last sentence, his voice suddenly rose.

After getting the hint from Lao Li, Zhang Dabiao's eyes suddenly lit up. He already understood the intention of the captain's words.

Our independent regiment is a legitimate main force, the main force among the main forces. It was an urgent, difficult and dangerous task for us to come here to seize the mineral veins before. Now that the matter has been resolved, what will it be like to stay in this mine every day?

Naturally, we should take this opportunity to quickly switch defense and return to a more core combat position.

"Captain, it's really high!"

After Zhang Dabiao realized Li Yunlong's thoughts, he quickly flattered Li.

"Go, go, go, let's have the soldiers gather the ore we dug out. When the replacement team arrives, we'll load it onto the truck and leave without giving them any chance to react!"

Old Li made the final decision and waved his hand to let Zhang Dabiao do it.

While Lao Li was collecting uranium ore, Yu Ye was worrying about the small pile of uranium ore he had just pulled back. He was moving too fast now. Apart from the core equipment, the centrifuge, other supporting equipment was either still on the way or could not be obtained at all. This was really worrying.

"Teacher, the chemical properties of uranium are very active and it is not easy to extract. I tried several methods in the makeshift laboratory, but none of them worked out well."

Chen Kan was transferred back to the 221 base, which is Ping'an County, to extract uranium under Yu Ye's arrangement.

After hearing Chen Kan's report, Yu Ye took the uranium ore sample mined from Qinshui Coal Mine and looked at it carefully. The uranium content here was only about 0.12%, which just reached the passing line for industrial extraction. It was indeed not a high-grade uranium ore.

What can be done?

We can only work hard to create a miracle. If 100 tons of ore are not enough, then we can produce 1000 tons or 10000 tons. Eventually, we will have enough raw materials for the atomic bomb.

"Let's do this. We will first enrich the uranium from the low-grade ore, and then we will do further enrichment.

We won't do that delicate work anymore. We'll just use the brute force approach and produce the finished product by using enough uranium ore.

First, crush all the uranium ore, then soak it with sulfuric acid, and finally introduce enough ammonia to produce the crude product ammonium diuranate.

That is, let’s make the yellow cake first.”

Yu Ye finally slammed the table and made a decision. He didn't care about the losses in the process and just piled up the materials.

"Okay, teacher, I'll do it right away. I'll spend 10 days to figure out a mature process, and then I'll promote it to everyone.

In this process, we can start with the work of crushing ore.”

Chen Kan reported.

"Go ahead. I have only one request. If you are short of people, materials or ores, please tell me at any time and don't delay the progress of the project.

If you can't come up with a preliminary plan within 10 days, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

After saying this, Yu Ye buried his head in the list of components that needed to be prepared and coordinated. He knew everything about the extraction of nuclear materials, but he was lacking a lot of equipment, so he could only start from scratch to figure out a plan that was suitable for the current situation.
