Ship Girl: Start with an Aerospace Carrier

Chapter 26 Uranium Mine



Chapter 26 Uranium Mine
After confirming that they had been approved to join the port area, the drooping animal ears of the three heavy cherry ship girls immediately stood up, which was a sign of happiness.

On the other hand, Changchun and Qingyuan looked at the ears of these three curiously, and reached out to touch them, "Hey, Nagato, where did you buy these ears? Why can they move? They're so cute!"

For Shige Sakura, the ears on her head are almost equal to her sensitive parts, and now being touched by Chang Chun, who doesn't understand anything, Nagato's expression is a little bit abnormal.

"Don't touch it, those are my ears, not decorations!" The voice became a little thin like a mosquito.

"Oh, am I just curious?" Changchun heard this, and moved his hand away obediently.

After seeing that the three Sakura ship girls he had picked up had been agreed by their commander to join the port area, Uranus and others continued.

"Commander, we made a major discovery in that forest. The previous nuclear radiation was not a nuclear test made by the sirens."

"It's because there are very rich uranium resources underground in this forest, and the decay of uranium 235 will emit a small amount of nuclear radiation, which was detected by us."

Afterwards, Uranus grabbed Jiang Ran's arm and looked very excited, "Commander, do you know? After calculation, our uranium ore reserves on Bingquan Island may be as high as one million tons!"

"Millions of tons? Uranus, you're not making fun of me, are you?" Jiang Ran couldn't believe it.

Just now, after hearing the news of the uranium mine from his ship's wife, Jiang Ran felt that it was already very good.

If there was no Jian Niang present, he would have already jumped up with joy.

However, now even the reserves have reached one million tons, which makes Jiang Ran not quite believe it.

After all, if you look at it by the standards of the earth, tens of thousands of tons of uranium ore is not bad.

And the reserves of one million tons are almost equal to the sum of the reserves of several top-ranked countries on the earth!

"No, Commander, although I don't really believe it, but there are really millions of tons of reserves, and I have calculated it many times!" Uranus said a little aggrieved.

After listening to Uranus' words, Jiang Ran naturally chose to believe in his ship girl, and at the same time, he began to make calculations in his heart.

If I can mine all of the 100 million tons of uranium ore reserves, based on the conversion rate of 235/7000 of uranium 235, I can probably get more than [-] tons of uranium [-].

Uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring metal.It is silvery white and has the characteristics of strong hardness, high density, extensibility, and radioactivity.

Uranium is generally found in combinations with oxygen, oxides or silicates.

Uranium atoms can undergo fission reactions and release a large amount of energy, which can be used in power generation, nuclear weapon manufacturing and other fields.

This much nuclear fuel is enough for him and the ship girls to use for a lifetime, and it can also be used to make nuclear bombs and so on, Jiang Ran was thinking happily.

Moreover, in uranium mines, the content of uranium 238 is greater than 99%. In the previous life on the earth, due to technical and other reasons, it was difficult to use this kind of element to generate electricity.

Only seven thousandths of that uranium-235 can be utilized.

However, now that there is a system, it is not the same.

Jiang Ran discovered that in the mall of the system, there is a technology called fast neutron breeder reactor, which can also cause nuclear fission of uranium 238.

In this way, the uranium 238 element with even greater reserves can also be used to generate electricity by itself, and its own port area no longer needs to worry about energy.

As for those uranium 235, Jiang Ran intends to use all of them to make nuclear bombs, so as to maximize the use of this uranium mine.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran began to urge his mother-in-law to take him to the uranium mine to have a look.

After arriving at the uranium mine, Jiang Ran turned on the system. The ship's mother had just wiped out a lot of deep seas, and there was also a deep sea flagship.

There are hundreds of points in the current system, and at the same time there are 2000 red diamonds, which is the red tip in the previous game.

These red tips are mainly used to buy various technologies in the system's advanced mall, or to exchange them for system points at a ratio of 1:100.

After opening the high-level shopping mall, Jiang Ran saw a lot of technologies, and the fast neutron breeder reactor was also listed, requiring 1000 red diamonds.

It is different from the ones bought with points before, the things bought in this high-end mall are all complete technologies, and after buying, they can be manufactured indefinitely.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran bought this technology without even thinking about it.

At the same time, it was Jiang Ran who also discovered that the fast neutron growth reactor he bought was not just a reactor design for building a nuclear power plant.

There is also a miniaturized shipboard fast breeder reactor suitable for ship girls, which is a small surprise.

As long as they are equipped with fast neutron reactors, coupled with the huge reserves of uranium-238, the girls in my family will no longer need to rely on oil.

In other words, my future port area can completely get rid of the dependence on Donghuang.

After replacing the fast neutron breeder reactor, Jiang Ran also made a lot of small robots from the construction system to mine uranium ore.

Otherwise, I can't let my girls dig uranium here in the Temple of Heaven, right? In that case, wouldn't I become a scumbag commander who abused the ship's mother?
At the same time, the credits were exchanged for centrifuges and other equipment necessary to separate uranium ore. Otherwise, it would be useless if it was mined but could not be purified.
Soon, row after row of small mining robots started their mining work under the curious eyes of the girls.

"Commander, can you give me one of these robots? It seems to be quite fun." Qingyuan and Changchun looked at the little robot in front of them and wanted to take one away.

On the other hand, although Ling Bo didn't speak, it could be seen from her eyes that her thoughts were basically the same as those of the two little girls.

Looking at the little girl's appearance, Jiang Ran was a little speechless, "What's so interesting about this kind of robot that specializes in mining? Later, the commander will make you a Transformer, which can move and dance."

When the three little girls heard this, they became interested, "The commander keeps his word, don't forget!"

"No, I can give it to you right away!"

While the robot was currently mining, Jiang Ran made some characters from various motorcycle and beast tribes from an anime in his previous life based on his memory.

"This one is called Thunderbolt, Vanguard, Tornado, Supersonic, Tiger King, Tyrannosaurus, and it can transform. It's much more fun than that mining robot. Take it."

"Two for one person, take it." After introducing these robots, he gave them to the three little girls.

After getting the robot, these little girls finally stopped making noise around Jiang Ran.

However, Jiang Ran's troubles have just begun.
