The second one is the reactor neutron source, as the na suggests, utilizing nuclear fission reactors to produce a large number of neutrons.
But if he could get hold of a nuclear reactor now, there wouldn't be any need to worry about igniting a nuclear explosion! So, this thod can be excluded!
The third is the accelerator neutron source, using various charged particle accelerators to accelerate particles like protons or deuterons, bombarding target nuclei to generate neutrons. Its advantage lies in obtaining neutron intensity much higher than that from radioactive isotope neutron sources, enabling acquiring single-energy neutrons across a wide energy range.
In simple terms, these thods share the sa principle—particles or rays striking an elent serving as the target to release neutrons from within!
That's right, it's that 'simple,' or else humanity wouldn't have described the advancent of weapons as finding ways to throw the 'stone' faster and more accurately; it's just that there aren't many suitable elents to be used as targets.
After carefully studying the data, Lynn devised a more complex solution.
First, use alpha particles to bombard nitrogen nuclei to create protons, then imdiately use high-energy protons to collide with heavy tal targets to obtain neutrons! This way, the number of elents available as targets instantly increases—elents like gold, tungsten, tantalum, molybdenum, and more are feasible targets.
The only issue is that this process becos exceedingly cumberso, requiring the production of a large number of protons, followed by using a strong magnetic field to accelerate these protons, allowing them to collide with heavy tal targets to generate neutrons, finally triggering a nuclear explosion! Designing a sophisticated nuclear explosion spell that condenses all these complex procedures within ten seconds has beco the problem that erged again.
These days, it's as if he's exhausted his brain...
After contemplating, Lynn decided to delegate this challenging task to the council's wizards; a group of people could think much faster collectively than he could alone.
While Faiz and the others might not match his scientific research, they possess rich experience in magical developnt, perhaps capable of finding a solution from the perspective of magic.
Therefore, Lynn assigned these 'tasks' to each of them.
Aurora was responsible for experinting with alpha particle bombardnt of nitrogen nuclei to create protons; Victorio, Anthony, and a few grand wizards studying thunder magic were tasked with researching particle accelerators, while Lynn and Harof would handle the neutron source!
As for the official wizards, they were all directed to find deuterium elents! Deuterium, also known as heavy hydrogen, is crucial in upgrading an atomic bomb to a hydrogen bomb! In the previous world, this stuff could be found in seawater and regular water, but its content was extrely low, with an abundance of 0.015% on Earth.
Under Lynn's arrangent, nearly every wizard had sothing to do, all imrsed in exploring the microcosm.
"Given this, let's postpone the assessnt of research awards until the results are in," Harof pondered and spoke.
The scale of this initiative involved the entire council of wizards, claiming to develop magic capable of defeating that pseudo-god; clearly, it couldn't be handled with just a Silver Moon dal.
The issuance of the Solar Crown dal needed careful consideration; Lynn didn't plan to explain the principles of the new magic, so it wasn't easy for them to judge. Hence, they'd delay it until results were achieved to avoid misunderstandings and turn the award into a joke.
Lynn nodded; obtaining a dal wasn't his primary concern. For a wizard, power and knowledge were the most crucial; honor was just a byproduct of these two.
"Then let's conclude today's discussion!" Victorio declared, eager to delve into the so-called particle accelerator.
The participating council mbers seed sowhat unsatisfied, discussing celestial orbit-based elental models as they rose, speculating on the level that the new magic created by the star of magic could reach.
As the topic of their discussion, Lynn was tidying up the radium elents used for experints, carefully storing them in lead containers.
"Master Lynn, are these boxes specifically designed to store new elents?" Raphael noticed Lynn's actions and curiously inquired.
To him, this might be a thod to suppress radium elent scattering, ensuring these new elents didn't lose energy and could be preserved for longer.
"No, precisely, it's to isolate radiation!" Lynn shook his head, explaining, then slapped his forehead, turning to the wizards who hadn't left yet, reminding them seriously.
"Oh, I forgot to ntion, the two new elents extracted from the demon stone are extrely dangerous; the particles they emit are hazardous. When conducting experints, rember to take precautions; otherwise, the consequences will be extrely severe..."
"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration, Master Lynn?" Raphael couldn't help but furrow his brow, reluctant to believe Lynn's judgnt.
After all, alpha particles erge from the atomic nucleus, the most fundantal force of magic...
Moreover, although these things were fast, the experint just now had proven that they could easily pass through elents or be bounced back by atomic nuclei without causing damage.
Lynn glanced at Raphael, clapped his hands, and spoke. "I just did an experint; you can take a look. These are ten rats continuously exposed to the new elents!"
Pearce imdiately brought over ten cages.
Raphael and the others curiously approached and glanced inside, then their expressions changed abruptly. The rats in the cages were in terrible condition; seven looked almost on the brink of death, their bodies swollen, surface flesh starting to rot, and internal organs displaying signs of cancer...
The remaining three were in slightly better condition, but it was evident they too had begun to exhibit so similar symptoms.
Such a horrifying scene chilled everyone present.
"It seems the radiation emitted by the uranium elent is indeed very frightening." Raphael, with a trace of hopefulness, forcibly tried to remain calm.
The uranium elent accounted for the vast majority of the demon stone's mass, while the radium elent only made up a tiny portion. To Raphael, it must be the forr's fault!
"No, quite the opposite, Master Raphael!" Lynn said playfully. "I suspect it's this radium elent that's responsible for the miners' fainting, severe illness, and deaths because its radiation intensity is hundreds of tis higher than uranium!"
Hundreds of tis?!
Hearing this, Raphael's face turned pale green. A witch playing with a fluorescent glass suddenly scread and imdiately threw the glass away...
