Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 201 Reactor!
Ever since the two Japanese divisions moved north, Ren Zhong has been paying close attention to the second battle of Jiuyuan. Although according to his war game simulation, the main force in the northern part of the country should have a chance to win.

However, before getting the results, Ren Zhong was not sure whether his war game simulation would be feasible. After all, the battlefield is ever-changing, and if there is a problem in any link, the result may be different. However, after achieving a great victory, Ren Zhong was completely relieved.

This time, two divisions of the Japanese were beaten to a pulp. As more and more weapons and ammunition move north, the Suimeng Autonomous Army and the Saibei Military Region will only become stronger.

The situation in the grassland has been initially stabilized. Relying on the current military strength of the Japanese, they can no longer shake the situation in Jiuyuan.

Unless the Kwantung Army goes crazy and sends a main force consisting of more than four divisions to the west, the North China Front Army's own strength, even if the two newly arrived Goryeo divisions are deployed, will probably be of no avail. The North China Front Army, which lacks heavy weapons, may only be able to achieve some results if it concentrates its air force and tank units and focuses on dealing with Jiuyuan.

After receiving the battle report, Ren Zhong thought for a moment and was about to use this victory result to let the border area communicate with General Shi to see if he could get something new from Rogue Eagle.

Professor Wu came to visit.

"Mr. Ren, we have accumulated 5 tons of heavy water!" Professor Wu didn't waste any words and got straight to the point.

"In addition, the uranium we have initially enriched and refined is enough for one reactor. Mr. Ren, we will start designing the first pressurized water reactor. If the design you provide us is correct, I think we will be able to verify a real chain reaction within three months."

"So, where is our reactor construction next?"

Professor Wu asked very seriously.

"So fast?" Ren Zhong was stunned. He didn't expect that the heavy water, which he originally thought would take some time to complete, could be completed so quickly.

"Not so fast anymore. Eighty percent of the electricity from the hydropower station we built in the border area is used for heavy water production. Now it can finally be released for other things," said Professor Wu.

They only need to build a test reactor, and they only need enough heavy water. After all, too much heavy water is not of much use.

Now the industrial construction in the border area is in full swing, and electricity is a scarce energy source. Even if thermal power plants are built one after another, they can't keep up with the situation. After all, the stalls are getting bigger and bigger.

Ren Zhong thought about it and realized that this reactor was no small matter. Although there was almost no possibility of explosion, after all, the equivalent was too small and it was in its early stages, it would be quite troublesome if it exploded, as the nuclear material contamination inside could not be dealt with at all.

"If the reactor fails, it will be very troublesome. My suggestion is to choose a suitable place in the desert area of ​​​​Ikh Ju League, where there are few people around and the underground water source is relatively deep. We must not cause a new ecological disaster."

Ren Zhong said very seriously.

"Professor Wu, this may be a bit harder for our research team, and our logistical support in the desert will be much more difficult. But we have to do this."

There is no precedent for doing this now, and many people don’t know how harmful this thing is. Even Professor Wu, who has done the most in-depth research, is not completely clear about it.

"Yes, Mr. Ren, I also think that we can't build in this border area. We don't know how harmful the radiation from these things is, but it is definitely harmful. We have studied cases where small animals and plants have been mutated."

Ren nodded and emphasized, "Professor Wu, I am not an expert in reactor technology, so I won't give you any advice, but I can confirm that the hazards are much greater than we think.

I would like to remind the research team about this, and even give a serious warning. Everyone who comes into contact with uranium must take safety precautions. Each of you core researchers must wear the radiation protection suits I gave you. As for other personnel who come into contact with uranium, they must wear the lead protective suits I mentioned earlier. This is the only effective way to prevent radiation at present. "

Ren Zhong has specialized in the field of radiation protection. In the main world, radiation protection clothing is made of special radiation protection fabrics. It uses high-tech nano-technology to weave natural cotton fibers, sweat-absorbent and breathable polyester fibers and ultra-fine metal fibers. The metal shielding mesh is fine and firm, with a content of about 30%, and its shielding effectiveness can reach 99.97%.

However, in this plane, Ren Zhong does not have the conditions to manufacture such clothing, so he can only use the traditional and cumbersome lead suit. Only core researchers like Professor Wu can wear more than 100 sets of modern production full-body airtight protective clothing that Ren Zhong has obtained from the main world with great difficulty and brought into the world of Bright Sword as a precaution for the core team.

Ren Zhong has too many goods to carry now and there is no way he can bring more clothes for them.

"I understand. Mr. Ren, your care for us scientific researchers is obvious to all. We will carry out our research work in accordance with the safety guidelines you provided. We will definitely keep our bodies useful and release the power that you said, Mr. Ren, that can ignite the sun!" Professor Wu said excitedly.

Although she was attracted back by half of Fermi's theory, after being exposed to Ren Zhong's theory and introduction of the peaceful bomb, she devoted herself to this great cause without hesitation. Now every step is being implemented one by one according to Ren Zhong's plan.

This made Professor Wu, who had almost mastered the theory, full of admiration for Ren Zhong. He was a true great man with high moral character and standing on the shoulders of giants.

A patriot who truly disregards fame and fortune and devotes himself wholeheartedly to the cause of national rejuvenation!
"Professor Wu, there is no major problem with our theory and the design we have obtained. You just need to boldly follow the design and you will definitely succeed." Ren Zhong said with a smile.

"So, don't be so stressed. You must make sure you have 12 hours of rest time every day. This is my only order to you!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ren, we will all learn to take care of ourselves. The food, medical care and even health care provided by the institute are already world-class treatment for us researchers. We will cherish it all," said Professor Wu.

Ren Zhong shook his head, this was a bit too much.

Now, the first-class kitchens for top researchers at the Dawn Institute have been upgraded to provide meat for every meal, the second-class kitchens provide meat for every two days, and the third-class kitchens provide meat for every week.

In the border area where people have just solved the problem of food and clothing, it feels a bit extravagant. After all, food is still not so abundant, and the cost of raising pigs, cattle and sheep is still very high. As for meat and eggs, except for the Dawn Research Institute, even the top leaders of the border area have not said that anyone can have meat dishes once a day.

Only kitchens like those at the Dawn Research Institute offer a special standard of living with meat for every meal.

Because Ren Zhong asked the 8th Guard Regiment that was guarding him to open a farm where they raised pigs and chickens.

The staff of the Dawn Institute certainly know what the situation is like outside. With the institute providing them with such excellent conditions, what else could they ask for?

"Regarding the new test reactor research base, I will coordinate with the border area to provide full support and select a good place. We will send people to build living facilities first." Ren Zhong said.

"No need, Mr. Ren. We started at the same time as the construction team. We have no time to waste now. We can live wherever the construction team can!" Professor Wu shook his head and said firmly.

Seeing Professor Wu's persistence, Ren Zhong knew that it would be difficult to convince her to give up.

I couldn't help but feel a little headache. Ikh Ju League is not a border area. The conditions are much worse. The supply lines are also very long. Living supplies are really a big problem. This place can't be too bad.

With this question in mind, Ren Zhong returned to the main world and carefully selected the location of the test pile. After much selection, he chose a place on the Maowusu Desert at the edge of Jingbian.

Now the road to Jingbian has been built. It is only more than 100 kilometers from the Liming Institute to the edge of the Mu Us Desert, so transportation is quite convenient.

In addition, this place is deserted, which meets Ren Zhong's second condition. Even the first explosion in the future can be carried out here. In addition, this is a plateau, far away from rivers, which blocks the spread of radiation. From a natural condition point of view, this place should meet Ren Zhong's several basic needs.

Ren Zhong returned with the result, and together with Professor Wu, he led the engineering team of the 8th Border Guard Regiment directly northward for investigation.

After a field visit, both of them fell in love with this place.

For Professor Wu, being able to implement his plan without causing any interference to the outside world is enough. Of course, he also needs to think more about it so as not to cause a large-scale disaster if something goes wrong.

It basically does not exist here. There are no large water systems passing through the plateau above 1200 meters above sea level. Even in the worst case scenario, if it is discovered and blown up by the Japanese, the scope of its spread can be controlled in the desert, and it will basically have no major impact on the surrounding areas.

Both of them passed, and the project code-named Houyi Project was launched.

The border area organized an engineering team and Jingbian's migrant workers to launch a major engineering campaign. According to the schedule, the infrastructure housing construction can be completed in three months at most. The road from Jingbian to Houyi Base is on the edge of the desert, and the Victory I can actually run directly on it. Of course, the load-bearing capacity cannot be too demanding. Under light load conditions, the Victory I can almost be used as an all-terrain vehicle on the spot.

After all, it can run on a 40-degree slope!
Of course, planning and construction of a direct road of more than 10 kilometers has also begun. After all, there are still many construction materials that must be transported in from outside. Even sand, although it is all over the ground, cannot be used as construction materials.

Standing in front of the desert, Ren Zhong suddenly thought of looking for something that Rogue Eagle had asked for.
