Chapter 348

"Also, funding is a big problem. First, we need to apply for a large amount of funding from the Sorcerer's Council."

"How much?"

Adam estimated and gave a rough estimate. Julius Hyperdimensional said casually, "Funding is not a problem. I can provide it myself, but the others …"

"This is a must, sir. It is not enough to support such a big project with just the two of us. We need a lot of help."

Julius Hyperdimensional scratched his head in annoyance. "Alright, leave it to me. Give me a list of the types of mages you need. I will take care of the rest."

In order to study atomic energy, one must understand the internal structure of the atom. For example, determine the model of the nucleus and find the protons and neutrons.

Neutrons, in particular, were a necessary prerequisite for the study of the nuclear structure.

Adam had a general idea of the experiment method in his mind, but in order to do these experiments, he needed more mages.

The convenience of magic was here. These experiments on Earth required all kinds of sophisticated experimental equipment, but here, the power of magic could be achieved.

In order to create an atomic bomb in the Sorcerer's World, one must first purify weapons-grade enriched uranium with more than 45% Uranium-780.

The purification method also required the use of magic.

Julius Hyperdimensional said that he saw great knowledge in the radioactive elements that could make him a True Spirit. Adam did not think that nuclear fission could achieve this effect. The power of an atomic bomb was terrifying on Earth, but from what Adam saw, the power of the arm of the Great Necromancer Magus Magus far surpassed that of an atomic bomb.

If it was nuclear fusion, there was a possibility, but Adam felt that it was still not enough.

If these two points were removed, what else would there be?

Adam felt that there was only one left …

Adam felt that it was suitable for the Hyperdimensional Mage from the Second Holy Tower to study this. It might save a lot of trouble.

Adam did not expect to rely on that to ascend to the Hyperdimensional.

In fact, the Hyperdimensional barrier no longer existed for him. The barrier between consciousness and matter that His Holiness Croft spoke of was something that Hyperdimensional mages who grew up in a normal system would have to face. However, Adam could advance in another direction. Now, he only had to wait for his current magic to be complete, and then obtain enough origin power to fill the last fifth of his soul to become a Hyperdimensional in one fell swoop.

The main reason why he was interested in coming to this research institute was because he felt that he could apply the fusion fission reaction to magic.

As everyone knew, mana was a type of energy. It was the foundation for the survival of mages other than Ether. The way mages used mana was basically through combustion, production, and release. If they could change the current combustion method and make mana fission or even fusion to produce energy, how much would it improve the strength of a mage?

Julius' Hyperdimensional was very fast. In a few days, he had found a large number of helpers. It could be seen from their reluctant expressions that these helpers were his acquaintances. They came to the laboratory to help because of the mage himself. They were not optimistic about this project.

Julius' Hyperdimensional did not care. He was holding back a strong desire to produce results to slap these old friends in the face. The harder it was to invite them now, the more dazzling the reversal would be when the results were produced in the future.

He comforted himself so.

Adam felt that the number of helpers was still a little small, but this was probably the limit of Julius' Hyperdimensional connections. He could not ask for too much now. As long as there was a useful progress in the project, it could be used to attract more talents, just like the personal chip before.

These mages who came to help did not have a bad impression of Adam. Moreover, they were all high-ranking members of the Holy Tower. They knew what Adam had done before, so they were very friendly when communicating with Adam.

Julius' Hyperdimensional was a man of his words. When Adam was arranging the work, he did not have the slightest intention of interfering. It seemed that he really treated himself as an assistant. Adam began to give orders without hesitation.

First, it was the enrichment of uranium.

Several Hyperdimensional mages from The Fifth Element Holy Tower were the best practitioners of the gas diffusion method. Their magic could perfectly replace any equipment to achieve the goal.

Previously, the radioactive creatures in Kratos were able to produce uranium hexafluoride. Naturally, the mages could do it too. After Adam briefly explained the principle, they all nodded to show that there was no problem. They were even a little surprised that they could not think of such an effective way to purify the ore. They did not expect a level-four mage to find a way.

After that, Adam invited a few other mages to participate in the alpha particle scattering experiment with him. This experiment was also known as the gold foil experiment. It was a grand idea, but in reality, it was very simple to operate.

Especially in the world of mages.

The source of the alpha ray could be found everywhere in Kratos. The radiation emitted by the radioactive minerals all over the place contained this particle beam. The radioactive creatures who worked as laborers outside could also do the same.

Adam put the radioactive element polonium in a lead box, prepared a piece of gold foil with a thickness of microns, and a fluorescent screen. Then, he asked the mages to cast a magnification spell and create a vacuum space.

When the alpha ray bombarded the gold foil, most of the particles passed through it. The deflection was very small, but there were a few that were deflected. One in eight thousand was deflected by more than ninety degrees. There were even some that were deflected by more than one hundred and fifty degrees.

When this phenomenon appeared, the Hyperdimensional mages beside Adam were shocked. Even if they did not know much about the microscopic level, they knew that this was not normal.

"What's going on?" They could not help but ask.

Adam ordered his personal chip to record all the data as he replied, "It's obvious that there are particles smaller than atoms in the void. If you've seen the paper I uploaded earlier, you'll know that I've discovered a new particle called the electron. It exists in atoms …"

The mages did not have time to be shocked. They either connected to the magic network or activated their personal chips to read Adam's paper. They ignored the high cost of reading and immersed themselves in the new knowledge.

The more they read, the more shocked they were. They did not expect the level-four mage in front of them to have discovered something so shocking.

Adam waited for them to finish reading before continuing, "The mass of the electron is less than one percent of the alpha particle. When the particle touches it, it is like a bullet hitting a speck of dust. There is no obvious change in the direction of the particle's motion …"
