Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 678: Too short of people!

"Yes, to be exact, it is 402.3 kilograms. At present, our production capacity has entered a stable period. As long as there is enough raw material, 30 kilograms of 'yellow cake' a day will not be a problem!"

Chen Kan spoke very proudly and even dared to speak to Yu Ye with confidence.

"Okay, but this production capacity is still not enough. I will approve any funds you need. I ask that the production capacity be doubled."

Yu Ye whipped his horse and doubled Chen Kan's target again.

Chen Kan: “…”

"Okay, Director, we will definitely complete the task."

Chen Kan knew the importance of the mission and did not hesitate at all.

Yu Ye silently calculated in his mind that the monthly production capacity was about 1200 kilograms of yellow cake. Based on the 235% abundance of uranium 0.7 in nature, it would be only 7 kilograms of uranium 235 per month.

How is this possible?

It would take at least half a year to accumulate enough energy for one atomic bomb.

Still too slow!

The reactor issue must be put on the manufacturing schedule. At least the production capacity of plutonium 239 may be more efficient than separating uranium 235 from nature.

"Go ahead. I don't have time to care about so many things now. I only have one standard, which is that if you are short of money or things, tell me and I will solve it for you as soon as possible.

As for the lack of people, I can't do anything about it, you can fill it up yourself."

Yu Ye waved at Chen Kan.

Chen Kan was quite helpless, he came here to ask for resources and people, but no one was available at all, as there was a severe shortage of manpower.

"return!"

Just as Chen Kan walked out of the office, Yu Ye called him back with a shout.

"Teacher, have you thought it through? Can you add more people to our team?"

Chen Kan's face was filled with joy. It turned out that the teacher still cared about his direct students.

"Why call me teacher? Just call me by my job title when I'm working."

Yu Ye sent back what Professor Zhao had said to him exactly as it was.

"Can you please pull me over to produce 'yellow cake' for you?" Yu Ye said unhappily.

Chen Kan sulked and said, "Forget it. If I drag you over to produce yellow cakes, the entire 221 base and even the entire Eighth Route Army in Shanxi will kill me, or even execute me by cannon."

"Forget it. I'll ask them to assign 20 experienced chemical engineers to you. But they won't be here so quickly, so you'll have to hold on for a while.

Also, I will ask them to prepare a batch of protective equipment and materials for you.

Although the radioactivity is not strong at your current production stage, long-term exposure is still not good.

Especially you, who hasn’t had a child yet.”

Yu Ye still cares about these students of his, and shows a lot of concern and care for them in his heart.

"Thank you, Mr...., thank you, Director!"

Chen Kan's droopy face suddenly broke into a smile.

"I just called you back not to talk about the 'yellow cake' thing, but how is the research on the high-explosive explosive that I gave you earlier going? This is a very core detonator."

"I'm busy making yellow cakes every day, and I haven't had time to..."

Chen Kan shrank his neck.

Yu Ye raised the notebook in his hand and pretended to throw it, but after thinking for a while he stopped himself: "Go back quickly. If you can't do it in three months, I'll show you how I'll deal with you.

Go to the logistics department to get two pigs and bring them back to give your team some extra food. You’ve been working really hard lately.”

"Yes, factory director."

After saying this, Chen Kan ran away, even faster than a rabbit, for fear that if he was slow, Yu Ye would catch him and assign him a new job.

Only when the office became quiet did Yu Ye have time to calm down and sort out his current tasks.

Apart from the theoretical verification of the atomic bomb and the accumulation of nuclear reaction materials, which have already had some clues, there is still a lot of work that has not been done. The high-explosive explosives have not been tested, the progress of the neutron sources beryllium and polonium is zero, and the nuclear reactor used to increase the value of nuclear reaction materials has only built a foundation, not to mention various other supporting technologies and equipment.

He truly felt that a nuclear bomb is a reflection of a country's industrial level. Without a complete heavy industry system and a strong country, it is impossible to build an atomic bomb.

Yu Ye felt that the current project was not lacking in any way. He was working with the willpower of mending the sky, because there was so much missing.

No matter how much work there is, he has to do it bit by bit. He sorted out the requirements and time nodes for each task one by one according to the progress and time of each task.

By the time I finished all this, it was already late at night.

Yu Ye rubbed his eyes and, regardless of the time, made a confidential call directly to Taiyuan, specifically asking for the team of Mr. Li Zhonggong who had just returned to Taiyuan to rest.

"Sir, I know you have just finished exploring the small uranium mine outside Taiyuan and it was very hard, but time waits for no one. I hope you can help lead people to help find graphite and uranium mines."

"You mean time? The sooner the better. Thank you for your hard work."

Yu Ye felt a little embarrassed to say this. Mr. Li was already over 50 years old and had just come from the southwest camp not long ago. He felt a little sorry for assigning work to him regardless of how tired he was.

However, Mr. Li didn't care about these things at all. Although it was already late at night, Mr. Li just said softly: "Since it is needed to fight the Japanese, we will set off tomorrow."

Hearing this, Yu Ye felt a warm current flowing through his whole body and was indescribably moved.

In this country, countless people love her in their own way, and everyone hopes that this country can get rid of its suffering as soon as possible and see peace in the world.

If we can get graphite and beryllium ore within one or two months, then we will have a solution for our nuclear reactor. The large-scale use of beryllium metal can increase the accuracy of the gyroscope by several orders of magnitude, and it can also be used as a neutron source. Everything will be on the right track.

After arranging all this, Yu Ye wiped his face with a hot towel, applied some pressure to his eyes, then lay down on the chair with his eyes closed for a simple rest. He didn't dare to sleep any longer because he didn't have enough time.

After a short sleep of a few hours, he still has to complete the design of the nuclear reactor, and some of the remote-controlled mechanical equipment must also be designed and handed over to the precision machining factory in Taiyuan for processing.

The reactor is in a high-radiation environment, so simple circuit control is definitely not enough. High-precision mechanical control is required, which in turn requires a huge amount of effort to debug and design.
