Splurging Ten Billion! Controlled Nuclear Fusion

Seeing that Chen Feng wasn't interested, Lin Wei didn't continue the previous topic, but instead began to talk about nuclear weapons.

"Nuclear weapons are roughly divided into two types: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, which are what we commonly refer to as atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs."

"Atomic bombs are made using the fission chain reaction principle of heavy atomic nuclei such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239. They can kill and destroy through the enormous energy generated by atomic nucleus fission. Hydrogen bombs, on the other hand, use a specially designed atomic bomb as a detonating device to ignite a self-sustaining fusion reaction of light atomic nuclei such as deuterium and tritium."

It wasn't until noon that Lin Wei finished explaining all the nuclear-related knowledge to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng finally understood how nuclear weapons were manufactured.

He originally thought it would be very complicated, but he didn't expect that manufacturing nuclear weapons would be much simpler than he thought.

The difficulty in manufacturing nuclear weapons lies only in the materials; once the materials are available, they can be easily made.

Humans have now achieved controlled nuclear fission, and it is precisely because of the success of controlled nuclear fission that humans are able to use nuclear energy to generate electricity.

However, compared to controlled nuclear fission, controlled nuclear fusion is much more difficult.

According to Lin Wei's explanation, nuclear fusion reactions produce a large number of high-energy particles and radiant heat, which can cause severe wear and damage to the reaction vessel and materials.

Humans have yet to develop materials capable of containing such high-energy particles.

Furthermore, the plasma core of nuclear fusion is something that current human technology simply cannot control as stably as nuclear fission.

This is why nuclear fusion has only been used in nuclear weapons and has not been commercialized.

Because nuclear weapons only need to cause damage, and the resulting fusion reaction does not need to be controlled.

Controlled nuclear fusion is a technology that scientists around the world are eager to achieve.

Once successfully developed, it can provide humanity with an inexhaustible supply of clean energy, completely solving energy shortages and environmental problems.

The most important substances for nuclear fusion, such as deuterium and tritium, can be extracted directly from seawater.

After listening to the information about nuclear fusion, Chen Feng had an idea.

Humanity's current materials cannot solve the problem of controlled nuclear fusion, but what about the materials used in the cultivation world?

Even the Law Artifact of low-level cultivators might not be able to withstand the high-energy particles of nuclear fusion.

But if we had Law Treasure or higher-level materials, we might be able to accomplish it.

Chen Feng didn't think too much about it; such things could only be tried later. What he needed to do now was to quickly develop the nuclear weapons.

Lin Wei then said:

"Highly enriched uranium-235 can only be separated using special centrifuges. If you use such a centrifuge, it will be detected immediately because it produces a large amount of radioactive material. What do you plan to do?"

Chen Feng said, "I'll handle this problem; you don't need to worry about it. I just want to know if you can modify the centrifuge by yourself?"

According to Lin Wei, the uranium enrichment centrifuges in Cherry Blossom Country need to be modified before they can be used.

The uranium enrichment centrifuges in nuclear power plants are used to produce nuclear fuel for the plants, and the uranium-235 enrichment obtained from them is not high enough to produce nuclear weapons.

Lin Wei nodded:

"That's no problem. Cherry Blossom Country's uranium enrichment machines are very sophisticated. They've designed these machines with careful consideration; they only require simple modifications to separate highly enriched uranium-235."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng understood. Although the defeated nation was not allowed to manufacture nuclear weapons, this was a matter of life and death.

But there must be a way to quickly produce nuclear weapons.

After all, Cherry Blossom Country's technological level is not bad either; they just don't dare to manufacture it directly.

"There's one more thing. I need your help to build a small nuclear reactor, the kind used for generating electricity."

Chen Feng revealed his other purpose: to supply power to the Xingfeng Sect.

He doesn't need a large reactor; a small one will suffice.

"No problem, building a nuclear reactor is quite simple." Lin Wei agreed without hesitation.

She had already agreed to help Chen Feng modify the uranium enrichment centrifuge.

Building another small reactor for Chen Feng would naturally not be a problem for Lin Wei.

A nuclear reactor is simply a power generation device that heats water.

It was very simple for her; nuclear fuel was the key to a nuclear reactor.

"Okay, I'll bring the centrifuge over later. How long will it take you to modify it?" Chen Feng then asked.

Lin Wei thought for a moment and said:

"Five days should be enough, but how do you plan to transport it? That thing must be quite large, and it would be troublesome if it were discovered."

She knew perfectly well that Chen Feng had stolen the centrifuge from Cherry Blossom Country.

If someone else finds out, it will definitely cause a major problem.

This news is still very popular. Not only did the International Atomic Energy Agency send people to Cherry Blossom Country, but various countries also sent nuclear experts there.

Three centrifuges are missing, along with so much nuclear fuel.

This is enough to manufacture nuclear weapons, so countries are naturally very cautious.

Chen Feng said:

"I'll deliver the centrifuges to the warehouse next to the research institute. I'll let you know when it's ready. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Lin Wei was puzzled as to how Chen Feng had transported the centrifuge to the warehouse.

But Chen Feng clearly had a solution, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"I've made two more Spiritual Qi collectors in the last few days, you can take them."

Lin Wei pointed to a corner of the laboratory, where two large Spiritual Qi collectors were placed.

Upon seeing the two large Spiritual Qi collectors, Chen Feng smiled and said, "Thank you."

Currently, Xingfeng Sect only has one large Spiritual Qi collector, which Zhou Jing uses to collect Spiritual Qi by flying around in a helicopter.

Chen Feng plans to get a few more helicopters to the Painting Scroll World and have Zhou Jing teach some Xingfeng Sect martial artists how to fly them, so that they can form a helicopter squadron.

This formation will not only help him collect Spiritual Qi in the future, but will also serve as the aerial armed force of the Xingfeng Sect.

"You don't need to thank me, it's all your money," Lin Wei said nonchalantly.

The Spiritual Qi collector she helped Chen Feng build, as well as the funding for her research on Spiritual Qi, all came from Xingfeng Group.

Only a company like Xingfeng Group, with daily revenue exceeding ten million, could sustain her crazy, money-burning research.

Hearing Lin Wei's words, Chen Feng nodded:

"If you need money, just tell Li Xiaorou. There's one more thing."

Chen Feng then asked Lin Wei about the other equipment needed for manufacturing nuclear weapons.

According to Lin Wei, the key to manufacturing nuclear weapons lies in highly enriched uranium-235.

Other materials and equipment are generally available in military factories.

Factory equipment capable of manufacturing ordinary munitions can also produce nuclear bombs, although the precision may not be good, but for Chen Feng, as long as it can explode, that's enough.

All he needs to do is move those two military factories in the Golden Triangle to the Painting Scroll World.

The only thing that needs to be purchased separately is safety equipment, which is relatively easy to procure.

With his connections at Dragon Academy of Sciences, finding a channel to buy some wouldn't be a problem.

This item is not classified as controlled material.

Chen Feng didn't stay long with Lin Wei Lin Wei. He left her a bottle of Spiritual Qi liquid for research and then left.

Xingfeng Group, General Manager's Office.

Li Xiaorou is busy.

Today, Xingfeng Group enjoys a great reputation not only domestically but also internationally.

It was also because of the last press conference that Xingfeng Group became famous.

At the same time, Li Xiaorou herself became a celebrity.

Beautiful female CEO, a role model of the new era—these are the comments netizens make about her online.

Some of her classmates have been contacting her recently, and everyone has been very polite to her.

Li Xiaorou is well aware that everything she has now is a gift from Chen Feng.

Without Chen Feng, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Therefore, she has always been very serious and responsible about the group's development and her work.

He does many things personally.

At that moment, the female assistant rushed into the office in a hurry.

Seeing her female assistant's flustered appearance, Li Xiaorou frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

The female assistant excitedly said, "Mr. Li, the boss is here."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaorou immediately looked towards the door and, sure enough, saw Chen Feng walk in.

Li Xiaorou's originally serious expression immediately softened, and she quickly stood up and went to greet Chen Feng.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

Li Xiaorou took Chen Feng's arm and pulled him onto the sofa.

Then he ran to pour water for Chen Feng.

At this moment, she had become Chen Feng's secretary again, instead of the aloof female CEO that outsiders perceived her to be.

Seemingly noticing her female assistant staring at her, Li Xiaorou immediately said, "Get out and close the door!"

The female assistant pursed her lips. Although she really wanted to stay, she didn't dare disobey Li Xiaorou's orders.

Seeing Li Xiaorou pouring water and preparing to peel fruit, Chen Feng said helplessly:

"Stop busying yourself. How's the group doing lately?"

Li Xiaorou put down the half-peeled fruit, took small steps to her desk, and picked up a stack of documents.

"Boss, this is the group's financial statement I've prepared. Please take a look."

Chen Feng immediately took the document and began to read it.

After watching for a while, he also learned about the current operating status of Xingfeng Group.

The group's businesses generate over ten million in revenue daily, and this figure continues to grow.

In particular, Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals has been in a state of supply shortage, and both of its drugs have become huge hits.

"I will send over two million Nourishing Essence Pills and two million Healing Pill each in the next two days. You can immediately arrange for expanded production."

Chen Feng placed the documents on the table.

Upon returning this time, his Storage Bag contained a large quantity of Nourishing Essence Pills and Healing Pill, all of which Liu Qian had previously arranged to acquire.

Moreover, this is only part of the story. With the unification of the six kingdoms by the Xingfeng Sect, low-level pills such as Healing Pill and nourishing pills are easy to obtain.

You can acquire a large quantity simply by purchasing from shops in various countries.

"Two million each?" Li Xiaorou was instantly taken aback upon hearing this number.

One Yangyuan Dan can produce ten Yangyuan Jianti Wan, and one Yangyuan Jianti Wan is currently priced at two thousand yuan.

The revenue generated by two million Nourishing Essence Pills amounted to a staggering 40 billion!

"Boss, I'll hold a group meeting tomorrow to arrange for expanding production!" Li Xiaorou was full of enthusiasm at that moment.

Chen Feng nodded:

"Well, there's one more thing. I need you to help me buy some things."

Chen Feng handed a list to Li Xiaorou.

Li Xiaorou wasn't surprised that Chen Feng asked her to buy things; Chen Feng had asked her to buy things several times before.

She took out the list and started looking at it, and as she looked, her expression changed.

"Boss, are you sure you want to buy these things?"

Li Xiaorou's expression changed because the quantity of things Chen Feng wanted this time was completely different from before.

The first step is the procurement of the power facilities listed. According to the list, the purchased power facilities must be sufficient to provide full electrification to a small city.

This involves a large number of cables, utility poles, and transformers, not to mention lighting equipment and the like.

Based on this amount of power facility procurement, Li Xiaorou estimates it will cost at least one billion.

And this is only the first item on the list.

The second item is the purchase of a vehicle.

The number of cars to be purchased is 10,000, including different types of cars. If we calculate based on an average price of 300,000 per car, then it will cost 3 billion.

Compared to 10,000 cars, the 100 tons of gasoline Chen Feng wanted to purchase was nothing.

The third expense was what surprised Li Xiaorou the most.

Because they are all engineering equipment and building materials, the quantity and variety are enormous.

For example, excavators, bulldozers, road rollers, and concrete mixers.

There are dozens of varieties.

According to Li Xiaorou's estimate, it would be impossible to buy everything on this list without spending 10 billion.

"Boss" Li Xiaorou's hands were trembling slightly as she held the list.

Although Xingfeng Group currently generates ten million yuan in revenue every day, the group has not been profitable for long, and the group only has a total of over one billion yuan in working capital.

Moreover, a large portion of the money needs to be given to Lin Wei as research funding for the research institute.

Chen Feng's decision to buy nearly 10 billion yuan worth of goods left Li Xiaorou speechless.

Moreover, he didn't understand why Chen Feng wanted these things.

Last time Chen Feng only gave her fifty cars, but now he's buying ten thousand directly.

"I know you're talking about funding. You should take out a loan from the bank first, and I'll make up the difference later."

Given Xingfeng Group's current situation, obtaining a bank loan should not be a problem.

Besides, he'll be able to pay it back soon; he just needs to wait for the auction in the Golden Triangle to begin.

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."

Li Xiaorou felt a little panicked. Taking out a loan of nearly 10 billion yuan was something she had never imagined.

The group was thriving, but now it has suddenly become a liability.

"Go contact the person first and get it done as soon as possible."

Chen Feng stood up, preparing to return to the Xingfeng Sect to retrieve the uranium enrichment centrifuge.

Seeing Chen Feng about to leave, Li Xiaorou called out to Chen Feng:

"Boss, wait a moment."

As she spoke, Li Xiaorou ran to the side of the desk and took out several sets of clothes that were still in their packaging.

Winter is coming soon, this is a casual outfit I had custom-made for you.

Li Xiaorou placed the clothes in front of Chen Feng Chen Feng, looking at him expectantly.

The last time Li Xiaorou saw Chen Feng, he was wearing very thin clothes, so she went to a shop to have several sets custom-made for Chen Feng.

Chen Feng glanced at the clothes and nodded, "Okay, thank you."

He did not refuse Li Xiaorou's kindness, picked up the clothes, and then left the office.

In fact, with his current Foundation Establishment level, he wouldn't feel cold even if the temperature dropped to minus twenty degrees Celsius.

Moreover, after reaching the Foundation Establishment, he was able to Grain Avoidance and didn't even need to eat.

After Chen Feng left, Li Xiaorou's face showed joy.

She started taking out her phone and contacting people to buy the items on Chen Feng's list.
