Chapter 207
Adam noticed that the social division of labor among the radioactive species was very vague. The level-7 creatures in the city did not have a clear role and were very casual.
The radioactive creatures wandered around the city. Some of them happened to wander to the edge of the city and were responsible for handing over the radioactive minerals and supplies to the labourers. Even the most important building was not guarded. They just swaggered in and soon returned to the city to continue their wanderings.
So Adam also began to wander around the area. He was not in a hurry to take over the job. After all, he was playing the role of a level-7 creature that had just been promoted. Although the radioactive creatures seemed a little sluggish, it was hard to guarantee that no one was watching him. It was better to be cautious at this time.
Within seven days, Adam followed the other radioactive creatures and tried everything that could be done in the city, including obtaining water and other survival resources, resting at designated places, and going to the newly created dimensional gap to command the level-6 radioactive creatures to invade the dragon plane. On the eighth day, he found an opportunity.
A level-7 creature at the edge of the city suddenly left the city. A large number of minerals and resources unloaded by the laborers were left uncollected. When a few level-7 creatures nearby were about to take over, Adam found the right time to carry all the minerals on his back and flew towards the building.
Along the way, there were many monsters that gathered from other directions. Adam joined the group as if nothing had happened and then smoothly entered the building.
At this time, Adam deliberately slowed down his speed so that he could observe everything in the building better.
This was a preliminary preparation and refinement factory for radioactive minerals. The radioactive creatures were really researching nuclear knowledge.
In Adam's memory from Earth, the refinement of radioactive minerals was the process of extracting uranium from uranium ore until it was made into nuclear uranium compounds. Nuclear purity was a quantity that represented the purity of a radioactive sample. It was the percentage of the total activity of a radioactive nuclide in the sample. On Earth, uranium with a purity of three percent was called low-enriched uranium. It could be used as a power source for nuclear power plants. Uranium with a purity of more than eighty percent was called highly enriched uranium. Among them, uranium with a purity of more than ninety percent was called weapons-grade highly enriched uranium. Only by reaching this purity could it be used as a fuel for nuclear weapons.
The preparation of weapons-grade highly enriched uranium required a very complicated series of processes. After the ore was mined, it had to go through the processes of leaching, refining, refining, concentration and separation. It required a very high level of technology. Refining one kilogram of weapons-grade U-780 required 755 tons of uranium ore. This was under the basically mature nuclear industry on Earth. The efficiency in Kratos was even lower.
In the factory in front of him, Adam saw many level-7 radioactive creatures using their thick tentacles that seemed to have deliberately mutated to smash the ore into small particles. Then, these particles were stuffed into the mouths of a group of motionless radioactive creatures. They secreted different bodily fluids to selectively dissolve the uranium in the particles. Finally, a small amount of uranium that still contained a large proportion of impurities was separated out.
This was all that the factory could do. They did not have a complete nuclear industry, but they relied on the special structure of their bodies to complete the preliminary purification of the ore with their mutated tissues.
There were a few level-8 creatures in the factory as managers, but their eyes were only on the level-7 creatures that were used as tools. They did not care about the transporters at all. From the beginning to the end, they only said one sentence, "Put it over there." After that, they did not speak again.
Adam followed the other creatures out of the factory. He felt that if Kratos' nuclear research was only at this level, they were still a long way from real applications. Purified uranium with many impurities was not useful at all. However, this was a scary sign. The radiation population was naturally compatible with this kind of knowledge. In a situation where there was no alchemy system at all, they were able to control the direction of their own mutation to extract radioactive minerals. If they were given some time, they would be able to …
"When knowledge is turned into power, maybe they can really evolve from a radioactive species to a nuclear species," Adam said to the Devil.
The Devil was a little speechless. "Master, I think after this mission, you should really learn more about common sense."
"What do you mean?" Adam asked in his mind as he drifted to the other side of the city.
"According to the Devil's observation, there is only one species in the entire Void that can directly turn knowledge into power. I have never heard of any other world in the Void that has this kind of ability. Even if Kratos really succeeds in their research, they can only create one more weapon. It is impossible for a species to evolve. "
Adam knew that he was lacking in common sense. He was not even comparable to the Devil, who spent a lot of time playing outside, so he asked humbly, "Why?"
The Devil rarely had such an opportunity, so he simply put on a look of disappointment and scolded, "Because of the Origin of the World of Sorcerers. Master, you have come into contact with the Origin after your advancement, right? Connected to the Magic Internet Cafe? That is the reason. "
The Origin and the Magic Net? He thought of the great Origin of the World of Sorcerers, and what the Origin said to him at the moment of his advancement: You have verified my existence, and I will grant you infinite power.
Adam was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. "So that's why Sorcerers can directly turn knowledge into power."
The Devil nodded. "So, the ability of Sorcerers is unique. This is also why Sorcerers can become the top predators in the Void. The monsters in Kratos are still too far away. And Master, I think you think too highly of this energy source called nuclear energy. Even if they succeed, so what? Can it be stronger than magic?"
At this time, Adam flew out from the other side of the city, following the laborers who were transporting the preliminary purified ores to another city. Adam did not know how to explain the Devil's question to Adam. This part of the information was top secret on Earth. It was destroyed along with the body at the moment of the explosion. What he knew now was only the most basic information, but he had a faint premonition that nuclear energy would be very useful here.
After all, even the ordinary earth, water, wind, fire, and lightning could produce such amazing power, let alone the more advanced nuclear energy.
Moreover, nuclear energy research involved a large part of the microscopic level, which was very useful in exploring the truth of the world.

The cities of the Radiation Race were distributed in a ring. They seemed to have divided the whole world into four circles. The outermost circle was the ordinary city, which Adam called the Fourth Ring. They formed the first line of defense of the new order of the Radiation Race. These cities were carrying out the preliminary purification process. According to this pattern, the cities in the Third Ring and the Second Ring would further refine the crude ores. Perhaps in the First Ring, which Adam could not enter, there would be high-level or even Hyperdimensional creatures collecting the ores for experiments.
In the next few months, Adam followed the laborers out of the first city and went to many other cities in the Third Ring. He did not know what the relationship between the Radiation Kings was, so for safety's sake, he did not choose to go to a city that deviated from the route. However, he had collected a lot of information. The Radiation Race was indeed developing a unique system.
When there was only one month left before the arrival of the Sorcerer Legion, Adam came to the Second Ring and entered the first city in the Second Ring as a high-level laborer.
This city was completely different from the previous one. The social division of labor was clear, and a complete embryonic form of order had appeared. The minimum standard living here was a Level 8 creature. Compared to Level 7 creatures, their language was more logical. Adam was questioned carefully before entering the city. It was not until he told them his origin and the undead he belonged to that he was allowed to enter the city and transport the ores to the factory here.
Adam thought that he would be driven away after sending the ores to the warehouse like the other laborers. He did not expect that things would change at this time.
"You, stay. Go over there." A Level 8 Radiation Creature blocked Adam's way.
Adam was slightly stunned. He walked over to the other side and found that there were more than 75 Level 7 creatures gathered there. Because they did not talk to each other, Adam did not know the purpose of the Level 8 creatures. However, Adam found that everyone, including himself, had one thing in common, and that was that their bodies were relatively large. Adam's was because of his dragon body before his mutation, but they could all be counted as healthy individuals in the Radiation Race.
"Master, let's run away. These monsters are definitely up to no good. Besides, there is more than one Level 9 creature here. It will be bad if we are discovered by them. "The Devil said anxiously.
Adam rejected him. "No, I want to know what they want."
The Devil felt very tired. "Master, if we are surrounded by Level 9 creatures, it will be difficult to escape. Although your electromagnetic magic can suppress them, but …"
At this time, the Level 8 creature from before came to them. "Follow me."
Adam said to the Devil, "Shut up." Then he cut off the communication and followed the other Level 7 creatures into the factory.
The Level 8 creature divided them into several groups and handed them to the other Level 8 creatures in the factory. Adam and the other five Radiation Creatures were brought deeper into the factory and came to a group of monsters that were being used as tools.
"Du, they are the quota this time."
The largest monster in the deepest part of the factory opened its eyes. "So little?"
"The war is still going on. The low-level creatures have suffered great losses. There are fewer and fewer evolved creatures, and there are even fewer of them that can be used."
The Radiation Creature named Du did not listen to the explanation and said rudely, "I don't care what the reason is, Ken. Next time, I want twice the quota, or I will turn you into a refiner."
Adam's real body's eyes lit up. The meaning of Du's words was obvious. He had the ability to control other Radiation Creatures to complete a specific mutation, and Adam could feel the Level 9 energy on him. It seemed that this time, he could really come into contact with the upper echelons of the Radiation Race.
Ken was silent for a while before he said, "I understand, Du." Then he retreated.
After Ken left, Du stood up. This was the largest Radiation Creature Adam had ever seen. When he stood up, he looked like a deformed tumor. Excluding the tentacles that were baring their fangs and claws, he was almost 85 meters tall. Adam noticed that he had a thick tentacle that pierced through the rest of the Refiners. He used this method to connect the monsters into one.
Adam understood what he was trying to do. Although he did not know what kind of state he would be in after being turned into a Refiner, he knew that it would not be pleasant. Otherwise, Ken would not have remained silent for so long. In other words, he might die after being mutated.
Du did not ask for the Level 7 creature's opinion. A tentacle shot out like lightning and easily pierced into the body of the closest Radiation Creature. The ugly body of the Radiation Creature began to twitch, and a large amount of low-level radiation energy leaked out, which was quickly filled up by Du's high-level energy.
The tentacle did not stop and continued to pierce into the body of the second Radiation Creature. The same thing happened again.
Adam silently watched as the tentacles pierced through the Radiation Creatures around him. His real body set the thread that stored the Blink Spell to wait to be activated. He realized that he might not be able to get away with it this time.
As expected, just as the tentacle pierced into Adam's body, Du's energy aura suddenly became fierce. Dozens of tentacles rose up like blades and made a loud explosive sound. Then, they viciously struck at Adam.
"You are not of the same race! Dragon Race, I have tasted the taste of the Dragon Race! "
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Like a hammer smashing an egg, the Radiation Frost Dragon's body was smashed into meat paste. Adam appeared in front of Du with a magic staff in his hand.
"Not of the Dragon Race? High-level energy! What are you? "
"Intruder!"
A deafening voice instantly spread throughout the entire factory. Almost ten Level 9 energy auras soared into the sky and rushed towards Du.
"Die!"
Du roared once again. A huge energy beam with a diameter of nearly five meters blasted the refiner in front of him into nothingness. It brought along a powerful energy fluctuation that disturbed the space around it as it arrived in front of Adam.
The magnetic field of the Mage Armor lasted less than a second under the violent energy attack before it was on the verge of collapse. In the nick of time, Adam activated all the magic in his body to stabilize the surrounding space. Then, he disappeared from the spot with the radiance of the runes.
The energy beam missed its target. After piercing through the entire factory, its power did not weaken at all. All the Radiation Creatures in the path were vaporized. It only gradually disappeared after it was a few kilometers away from the city.
Du was furious. He broke through the walls of the factory and flew into the air. He ordered the Level 9 creatures and the Level 8 creatures in the city, "The intruder has pure high-level energy! Find him and capture him! Offer him to King Thaniel! "
