Chen Hao
Chapter 419 Obtained
Chen Hao watched Karabog in silence, then stood up and smiled. “Give me the goods, and I won’t kill you.”
Although Karabog felt Chen Hao's attitude was a bit casual, he had no room for bargaining at all. He could only pray that Chen Hao would keep his word. He stood up and walked into a staircase inside the room that led to the basement.
The staircase was very long. Chen Hao roughly estimated it to be about a hundred meters, and the depth of the basement was nearly fifty meters. At this depth, relying on the stability of the earth and soil layers, the basement would be absolutely safe and stable as long as no earth-penetrating bombs were used.
This basement was not a particularly high-security secret room; it was just a warehouse used to store war materials in the past. But because there were no other safer storage locations, the enriched uranium was urgently sent here as soon as Karabog got off the plane.
At least fifty meters underground, no matter what happened on the surface, it would not affect the reaction of the enriched uranium.
Originally, this warehouse was guarded by soldiers, but they had all run out to provide support earlier and died on the battlefield. At this time, the entire warehouse was unguarded.
Chen Hao easily opened the warehouse door.
The entire warehouse was empty, at least a thousand square meters in size, but there were only five lead containers placed in the center. Other than that, there was nothing!
Chen Hao’s breathing became rapid. He quickly walked to the lead containers and opened them. What caught his eye were spherical, brownish-gray uranium beads!
“Enriched Uranium
Uranium-235 Enrichment: 80%
Grade: Weapons-grade
Weight: 1kg”
After seeing these data, Chen Hao finally confirmed that the dark beads in front of him were the enriched uranium he needed. Each of them weighed 1 kilogram, divided into small volumes, and was extremely carefully placed in five huge lead containers. Each lead container was nearly one meter high but only contained four small uranium beads, which seemed like a waste of space.
But in reality, doing so was absolutely correct!
Because enriched uranium is a fissile material, its critical mass is affected by factors such as the properties of the nuclei, physical properties, material shape, purity, whether it is surrounded by neutron-reflecting materials, and whether there are neutron-absorbing materials.
And if the enriched uranium reaches this critical mass, it will undergo a critical assembly and produce a nuclear explosion!
The critical point of enriched uranium is about 15 kilograms. That is to say, if the weight of a single piece of enriched uranium exceeds this value, it will explode instantly, destroying everything.
In fact, the principle of nuclear weapons is very simple: to make the mass of enriched uranium reach the critical point. In other words, a whole piece of enriched uranium exceeding 15 kilograms is, in a sense, a nuclear weapon.
Take the "Little Boy" nuclear bomb that the European Union once used to bomb Dongying as an example. Its detonation principle was to shoot a small piece of uranium through a gun barrel onto three other large pieces of uranium, causing them to collide with each other to create sufficient critical mass and trigger a nuclear explosion…
Simple, right?
If Chen Hao now took out all the uranium beads, held them in his arms, and rubbed them together with his hands, he could be said to have created a nuclear bomb with his bare hands in a sense, which could instantly raze the entire Beifengkou to the ground.
It’s just that this method is only suitable for dying together with someone.
The difficulty in making nuclear bombs is not making them explode, but making them explode at a designated location and time according to one's own will.
That’s the key.
*Pa!*
Chen Hao resealed the lead containers. These things were indeed too dangerous. As the strongest force that humans have been able to master so far, Chen Hao didn’t think any carbon-based life form could withstand one of its explosions.
Under Chen Hao's control, the five lead containers were collected into the system backpack.
Karabog watched this scene without saying a word.
"Boss, we've arrived…" At this moment, Lu Chi's voice came from the button communicator. They had arrived.
…
Lu Chi and Tang Su looked at the ruins all over Beifengkou and weren't too surprised. Soon, Chen Hao and Karabog came out of the basement.
"Did you get the stuff?" Lu Chi asked.
"Yes." Chen Hao nodded, then looked at the time and walked towards the distant tarmac. "I'm going to clean up the battlefield. I'll leave this place to you."
On the Beifengkou tarmac, there were still five Tu-160 Blackjack bombers parked. Chen Hao was very interested in this war machine that had just left him with terrible memories. Its firepower was fiercer and its speed was faster than the bombers produced in the farm mall!
Although it was only temporary, after the level 4 shelter was upgraded, the bomber data unlocked in the mall would completely crush the Tu-160, but at this moment, it was still one of the strongest and top-notch aerial weapons on Blue Star.
These bombers were equipped with unique control systems and positioning systems, but when Chen Hao reached out and touched them, these Tu-160 bombers instantly disappeared from their original locations, and their coordinate positioning points also disappeared from the Russian Air Force Command's locator.
On the other side, after Chen Hao left, Lu Chi seemed to have guessed something. He strode towards the trembling Karabog.
Seeing Lu Chi walking over with a murderous look on his face, Karabog began to shout nervously.
"What are you going to do? You said you would let me go! (Murphila language)"
Lu Chi frowned but didn’t stop.
"I beg you, don't kill me! I still have family and children, they are all waiting for me to go back…"
"We can cooperate. I am the current Minister of Defense of Murphila…"
"I will hide what happened today for you…"
"You are all a bunch of bastards who don't keep their promises!" Karabog broke down. He looked at Lu Chi's unwavering steps and seemed to have foreseen his ending. He collapsed to the ground and cursed Chen Hao with all kinds of venomous words.
*Pa!*
Lu Chi took out a pistol, pointed it at Karabog, and frowned, saying in Yanhuang language, "I didn't even graduate from junior high school. What the hell are you babbling about? Sounds like you're chanting scriptures or something?"
Karabog was stunned.
"Things have gotten so big now, and you, as the key figure, still want to survive… Aren't you too naive?" Although Lu Chi couldn't understand Karabog's words, he could roughly guess what the other party was thinking. He said, "Only you being dead can ensure a smooth transition for this matter; otherwise, do you believe that Russia can wipe out the entire Murphila?"
Karabog's face was filled with despair.
"I'll send you on your way." Lu Chi raised his pistol and pulled the trigger.
*Bang, bang, bang!*
Three gunshots rang out, and Karabog fell to the ground.
