Chapter 71 - A Nuclear Bomb. It Could Be Built At Any Time!
Chapter 71: A Nuclear Bomb. It Could Be Built At Any Time!
“Is this what you meant when you said it couldn’t be built?”
Edward looked at Bolen, feeling a little helpless.
Although Edward was almost certain of the answer, when he received the answer, he still did not want to face reality.
Instead, he threw the question to Bolen.
Bolen’s eyes were vicious.
In the past, be it his student’s experiment or Cedric’s experiments, he could tell at a glance whether it would work or not.
His accuracy was basically 90%.
But this time, he was wrong.
As for the stable electric current and voltage that he mentioned, Raymond had obviously taken it into consideration.
And he had done it very well.
He had also created a new innovation, so much so that he could not understand it.
“Minister, actually, it’s not entirely Boren’s fault. What Raymond made couldn’t have been determined with experience. Even now, I still could not understand at which point did he control the electricity to such a level and achieve a stable effect.”
Cedric’s line of sight was pulled from the live broadcast. He turned to defend Boren.
“No, no, no! I don’t think that it’s heavy water. After all, Raymond didn’t even test it. How could he know what he made was heavy water?” Boren didn’t think that he was wrong. “Moreover, his laboratory wasn’t dust-free at all.”
“That is to say, even if he made heavy water, it’s useless. It won’t accomplish his goals!”
Cedric also agreed with Bolen’s words and nodded unconsciously.
“What I want to know is whether Raymond can make a nuclear warhead. The rest is not important…”
Edward looked at the two highly respected people seriously, hoping to get an accurate answer.
This answer was needed not only by Edward Sidle, but also by many people at the Pentagon.
Once confirmed, they would be able to deploy forces and set things in motion.
They could be prepared in advance.
As the saying went, know yourself and know your enemy.
Now, they needed to know about Raymond.
Bollen and Cedric exchanged looks.
Cedric said solemnly, “Minister Edward, we think that Raymond has a high probability of creating a nuclear warhead, at least 80%.”
“Even if his laboratory isn’t clean, there’s still an 80% probability?”
“We cannot confirm it. After all, the current Raymond can no longer be deduced from common sense!”
What Cedric said basically meant that Raymond had already surpassed the levels of humans and could only be explained by metaphysics.
How could Walker accept such a statement?
The theory of probability…
If it was really from the theory of probability, the probability of Raymond was 100%.
That was because the things he made had never failed once.
Even when it came to laser cutting… even if the laser cannon had problems, it would not be reduced to 80%.
“Why is it only 80%?”
Walker asked a question.
“Because there are some materials that are not available on the island, so the probability is reduced.”
Hmm… Alright!
After all, it was only a small island.
It was impossible to have everything.
Even if it was, Raymond and the others might not be able to find it.
If there were all kinds of materials, then wouldn’t it be…
Walker didn’t want to think about the rest.
Fortunately, he accepted their explanation.
After all, the trouble that Raymond had caused them wasn’t a small one.
A laser cannon made in a day, could you believe it?
Ten pages of reading in a second, was this something a human could do?
Humans drawing blueprints of rocket engines by hand, was this something a human could do?
After reading the book, he coded an artificial intelligence, was this something a carbon-based creature could do?
One thing led to another, and Walker had to accept the truth.
Besides, he seemed to have gotten used to it.
Even though it had only happened a few days ago…
..
..
Uranium-236.
It was a nuclear bomb material known to the public.
Plutonium-239, deuterium, and tritium had the same effect as uranium-236.
It just so happened that there was Uranium-236 on the island.
So Raymond took this and used it himself.
But this time, he did not go on his own.
Robots were not afraid of radiation.
Even if it was harmful to them, they can just make another one.
There were enough robots now anyway, so causing a few explosions would not be much of a loss.
But he had to make better use of them.
Fortunately, Raymond had created a temporary cockpit.
Because he was close enough, Raymond could basically perform the operation with zero delays.
Raymond’s series of actions had brought a group of Gundam enthusiasts to a climax.
In the international live broadcast room.
“The birth of Gundams is just around the corner!”
“If you want Iron Man, you can do it! Just the barebone internals work for me!”
“Actually, I think Raymond can totally make a Gundam. After all, battleships are massive. Installing it all by means of a gantry crane would be way too slow!”
“You’re thinking too much! Gundam? Those guys easily stand up to 70 to 80 meters! There’s no need to build it at all! That thing has no practical use, it just looks fancy!”
“We don’t even have a prototype to refer to, how do you know if it’s useful or not without a test?”
“I don’t care, regardless, Gundams are overrated…”
“Even now, you still underestimate Thunder God?!”
“You don’t think he can do it? Go on and tell that to his face!”
“By the way, even if Thunder God makes a nuclear warhead, how would he make use of them?”
“Why even talk about launching them? Isn’t this just to please Kim Hee-sun?”
“Please her? Do you think it’s like setting off firecrackers? It can’t simply be placed just anywhere. This thing has nuclear radiation!”
“Uh… I’m suddenly a little worried. Thunder God currently believes that the world is uninhabited. He could just launch it anywhere he feels like, right?”
“That’s right! Moreover, Thunder God intends to look for aliens. He probably won’t come back for decades, so he won’t feel any guilt at all…”
“Two minutes of silence for the American people…”
How could the Pentagon not have thought of what ordinary people could think of?
Therefore, at that moment, a few military bases near the coast had already begun to deploy interceptor missiles.
As long as Raymond was planning to set off fireworks, they would immediately act to intercept him.
The Pentagon had pretty much figured out how Raymond would send the nuclear bombs into the sky.
There were still more than ten missiles on the island’s military bases.
Although Raymond might be able to make more powerful missiles with a longer range… he probably wouldn’t do it. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a ready-made one?
The United States knew the capabilities of those missiles on the island like the back of its hand.
As long as they were launched, it would be in the hands of the United States.
..
At first, Raymond wasn’t used to using the robots to operate it.
As time went on, he became more and more familiar with it.
In the end, he could basically aim it wherever he wanted.
Before dusk, the first Raymond-made nuclear bomb was produced!
