Madman, let's not steal the enriched uranium! This thing is a national strategic resource. If someone finds out that we stole the enriched uranium, we might be arrested and sent to jail! Don't you know the head of the secret service called Long Zhijie? He has a strong background in the military, so you might as well ask him to help you get some enriched uranium! How could he use it openly and secretly like this?”The three of them walked on the way to the engineering laboratory. Liu Zhibo, who couldn't resist the temptation, followed them reluctantly. As he walked, he kept persuading Xiao Zixian to give up the plan to steal the enriched uranium.
Xiao Zixian rolled his eyes at Liu Zhibo and said directly,""Long Zhijie isn't an omnipotent person who can give you whatever you want. He's just a member of the military's intelligence system and doesn't have any real power. Moreover, Long Zhijie had finally made me a supernumerary member of the military, so I was not under the jurisdiction of the military. If I rashly asked Long Zhijie to help me get sensitive experimental materials like enriched uranium, it might attract the attention of the military.”
Liu Zhibo saw that he couldn't persuade Xiao Zixian, so he could only follow behind and mutter,""How good would it be to officially join the military? Not only can you enjoy the benefits of the military, but your laboratory can also receive free experimental materials from the military like those state-level laboratories. Look, you have to raise money to buy any experiments from the military now, and you have to secretly obtain sensitive materials.”
Xiao Zixian ignored Liu Zhibo's complaints and rubbed a plastic bottle in his pocket. This plastic bottle contained a fake enriched uranium sample. Xiao Zixian had once entered the basement of the engineering laboratory building to observe, so he knew the shape and color of the enriched uranium sample. In order not to let people find out that the enriched uranium sample had been stolen, Xiao Zixian came up with the method of using a civet cat to exchange for a fake sample to steal the real enriched uranium sample. The enriched uranium sample had been in the laboratory for more than ten years and no one had ever touched it. Some people only studied it closely to observe its color and shape. As long as Xiao Zixian made sure that he was not discovered when he secretly changed the real sample, there would be no danger. As for this fake sample, it was actually made of mud mixed with black ink. After it was formed, it was sprayed with a layer of shiny black paint. The degree of imitation was almost genuine. If one did not use equipment to analyze it, one would definitely not be able to tell that it was fake.
There were many laboratory buildings in the University of Engineering, and the laboratory building with a basement was a place dedicated to storing experimental equipment and materials. Moreover, because there were radioactive substances in the basement, there was not even a gatekeeper. Unless there were teachers or students who wanted to enter the basement to obtain radioactive substances for experiments, the laboratory building was usually guarded by an iron general.
The three of them sneakily came to the laboratory building. After looking around to make sure that no one had found them, Xiao Zixian picked up the big black lock of the big iron door and took out a miniature electric drill and stabbed it into the keyhole. The electric drill drilled twice and opened the lock. Xiao Zixian pulled and the big black lock was opened with a bang.
Li Zeyu, who was watching from the side, felt that it was fun. He reached out and snatched the small electric drill from Xiao Zixian's hand while asking curiously,"What is this thing? How could this lock be opened with just a drill? Could it be the legendary 007 special agent equipment?”
Xiao Zixian threw the electric drill into Li Zeyu's hands and smiled."What special agent equipment! It was just a transmission made from a toy racing car motor. Even a child could make it.”
Li Zeyu took the small electric drill and looked it up and down. As expected, this small electric drill was a small motor driven by two batteries. He could not help but exclaim,"F * ck! It was really made from a racing motor! This kind of thing was really good at being a thief. Such a big lock was opened with a single move.”After saying that, he stuffed the small electric drill into his pocket and smiled."I want this thing. It might be useful in the future! Hehe."
Xiao Zixian pushed open the big iron door a crack, and the three of them went in one by one. After entering the laboratory building, the three of them went to the room next door and put on thick protective clothing. Then, they slowly moved to the big safety door in front of the basement. The basement of the laboratory building was filled with several types of radioactive materials and hundreds of precious metals and ores. The value of these materials was close to ten million. It was inevitable that such expensive things would encounter malicious people. Therefore, the security room of the University of Engineering had set up strict surveillance equipment around the basement. Strangers who broke in would soon be discovered by the school security room. In particular, the exit of the basement was specially installed with a detector for radioactive substances. As long as there was a radioactive substance passing by, it would immediately alert the police. After all, it was not a big deal if the precious metals were stolen. If a curious thief stole the radioactive substance along with it, it would really kill people.
The central monitoring room of Xiao Zixian's laboratory was connected to the campus network of the University of Engineering. Therefore, before they set off, Xiao Zixian had ordered Envoy X to enter the security system of the laboratory building and turn off the cameras, heat sensors, radioactive material detection alarms, and other safety equipment. Xiao Zixian and the other two would not be discovered even if they swaggered into the basement.
The first safety door in the basement was an old-fashioned revolving safety door that was usually only used in old bank vaults. The password of the wheel was an open secret in the University of Engineering. When the professors brought the students into the basement to observe the radioactive material, they opened the safety door in front of the students, so as long as the students had the intention, they would remember the password of the wheel.
The basement was 20 meters deep. After opening the first safety door, the three guys in protective suits moved into the spiral staircase like three penguins. As they went deeper into the underground, the air began to become damp and cold. When they reached the entrance to the basement, they encountered a modern electronic security door. Xiao Zixian, who also knew the password, entered the password and opened the door to enter the basement.
The basement was a large room with an area of 2,000 square meters and a height of nearly three meters. Therefore, people who walked into the basement felt that it was extremely vast and would not feel the pressure of going deep underground.
There were more than 300 neatly arranged round stone pillars in the basement. The top of the stone pillars was covered with a transparent glass cover. Inside the glass cover were some minerals used for experiments in various forms. The most eye-catching thing in the basement was that there were 10 pillars made of lead in the deepest part of the basement. At the top of each pillar was a round small window made of plexiglass. Under those small windows were radioactive substances such as thorium and polinium, which were used for experiments. Of course, there were more than 10 radioactive substances in the basement. In the periodic table of elements, all elements with atomic numbers above 84 were radioactive because they were either too rare or too expensive. For example, radium discovered by Madame Curie, the price of one gram of radium refined to 99.99% purity was as high as 20 billion. Therefore, even a rich engineering university couldn't afford even one microgram. Moreover, if they bought such an expensive thing, they wouldn't put it in such a dark basement. They should be treated like treasures for research.
The enriched uranium used to make nuclear bombs was Uranium-235, which was highly radioactive, so it was also covered with lead. Xiao Zixian walked to the lead column with the fake enriched uranium sample in his hand, while Li Zeyu followed closely behind with a double-layered suitcase made of lead and plexiglass.
Liu Zhibo didn't follow them. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the basement and shouted,""The radiation will stay in my body for the rest of my life. The children born in the future will be deformed. Our Liu family has only one child for three generations. If my father finds out that I have gamma-rays in my body, he will definitely castrate me.”
Xiao Zixian and Li Zeyu did not pay attention to Liu Zhibo. They were already sweating profusely after walking so far in protective suits. In addition, there was a kind of dizzying heat in the protective suits. The two of them endured the discomfort and sped up their actions.
Xiao Zixian placed the fake enriched uranium sample on a lead column next to him and freed his hand to open the lead cover of the Uranium-235. Li Zeyu clumsily held the suitcase with both hands and opened it. Xiao Zixian picked up the enriched uranium sample and gently moved it into the suitcase. Li Zeyu was afraid of being exposed to radiation and quickly closed the suitcase and locked the switch.
Xiao Zixian poured out the simulated enriched uranium sample from the plastic bottle, then placed it on the lead column according to the original appearance of the real enriched uranium sample and covered it with the lead cover.
After the operation was completed, the three of them checked the scene and found that there was no trace left. They exited the basement and closed the two safety doors in turn. Then, the three of them took off their protective suits and left the laboratory building covered in sweat.
On the way back, Li Zeyu looked down at his suitcase from time to time. After thinking carefully for a moment, he asked,"The enriched uranium sample in the school has been stored for more than ten years. After such a long half-life, the energy of this enriched uranium sample has been reduced a lot. I estimate that the energy of this 500-gram enriched uranium sample after complete fission will not exceed 600 tons of coal.”
Xiao Zixian had just stolen a sample of enriched uranium, so he was in a good mood. He walked in front and laughed,"You don't have to worry about that. The energy of this enriched uranium is a little low, but it will be able to react for 20 years in a small nuclear reactor.”
Liu Zhibo walked up from behind while rubbing his hands. He chuckled and said,""We have already helped you steal the enriched uranium. Shouldn't you fulfill the conditions you promised us before?”
Xiao Zixian looked at Liu Zhibo's warm face and sneered,""You brat, you've been going through the motions from the beginning to the end, and you didn't do anything. You're just like a stalker who's in the way, and you actually have the cheek to ask for repayment?”
Liu Zhibo recalled that he did not do anything just now. He could not help but plead with a bitter face,"Just let me try driving it once! Don't drive for too long, just drive for half an hour and I'll be satisfied.”
Xiao Zixian turned around with a fake smile and said,"Isn't it the same if you drive Xiao Yu's sports car? Xiao Yu's sports car costs millions. Ordinary people can't even afford to drive it! Why do you have to drive mine? Is my car better?”
Liu Zhibo frowned," Xiao Yu's sports car is affordable for anyone with money. But your sports car is different. It's a limited edition pure-blood Bugatti Veyron. Even if you have money, you might not be able to afford it. Only rich and powerful people can afford it. I'm begging you because I want to experience the feeling of being rich and powerful!"”
Xiao Zixian saw Liu Zhibo's pitiful look and said in a deep voice,""I'm going to conduct the assembly experiment of the small atomic reactor in the next few days. You have to come over and help me as my assistant. If you perform well, I'll let you drive it out for a few rounds.”
" I already told you that your small atomic reactor is purely a small nuclear bomb," Liu Zhibo said in surprise." What if the experiment fails and it explodes after it's assembled?!" I'm still young and I don't want to sacrifice myself for science.”
Seeing Liu Zhibo's terrified look, Xiao Zixian was about to raise his hand and knock him on the head when a shout suddenly sounded behind him,""Xiao Zixian, stop right there! I finally caught you."
The three people who had just stolen something thought that their tracks had been discovered. They were so frightened that they froze on the spot and did not dare to move.
