Since the two divisions of the Japanese devils went north, Ren Zhong's side has also been highly concerned about the second battle of Jiuyuan. Although according to his war game deduction, the main force in Saiwai should have a chance to win.
However, before the result was obtained, Ren Zhong was not sure that his war game deduction would be feasible. After all, the battlefield is ever-changing, and if there is a problem in any link, the result may be different. However, after winning a great victory, Ren Zhong was completely relieved.
This time, the 2 divisions of the Japanese devils were beaten to the point of crying for their parents. As more and more weapons and ammunition went north, the Suiyuan-Mongolian Autonomous Army and the Saiwai Military Region would only become stronger and stronger.
The grassland has been initially stabilized. Relying on the current strength of the Japanese devils, it is no longer possible to shake the situation in Jiuyuan.
Unless the Kwantung Army goes crazy and sends a main army group composed of more than 4 divisions to advance westward, otherwise, relying on the strength of the North China Front Army itself, even if the newly arrived two Korean divisions are thrown in, I am afraid it will not help. The North China Front Army, which lacks heavy weapons, can only concentrate its air force and tank units to deal with Jiuyuan to some extent.
After receiving the battle report, Ren Zhong's mind turned, and he was preparing to use this victory to communicate with General Tong Shi of the Border Region to see if he could get something new from the rogue eagle.
Professor Wu came to the door.
"Mr. Ren, we have accumulated enough 5 tons of heavy water!" Professor Wu didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"In addition, we have enough uranium that has been initially enriched and refined for a reactor. Mr. Ren, next we will start designing the first pressurized water reactor. If the design you provided us is correct, I think we will verify the real chain reaction within 3 months."
"So, where will we build our reactor next?"
Professor Wu asked very seriously.
"So fast?" Ren Zhong was stunned. He didn't expect that the heavy water, which he originally thought would take a while to complete, would be completed so quickly.
"It's not fast. Most of the electricity from the hydropower stations we built in the Border Region is used for heavy water production. Now we can finally release it to do other things," Professor Wu said.
They only need to build a test pile. It's good enough to have enough heavy water. After all, it's not very useful to have more.
Now the industrial construction in the Border Region is in full swing, and electricity is a scarce resource. The construction of thermal power plants one after another cannot keep up with the situation. After all, the scale is getting bigger and bigger now.
Ren Zhong thought for a while, this reactor is no small matter. Although the possibility of explosion is almost non-existent, after all, the yield is too small and it is in its initial form, but if this thing is blown up, it will be more troublesome. The nuclear material inside cannot be treated at all.
"It would be very troublesome if something happened to the reactor. I suggest choosing the desert area of the Yikezhao League, finding a suitable place to ensure that the surrounding area is sparsely populated and the groundwater source is relatively deep. We cannot create a new ecological disaster."
Ren Zhong said very seriously.
"Professor Wu, it may be a bit hard for our research team, and the difficulty of our logistical support in the desert will also increase a lot. But we must do this."
There is no precedent for doing this kind of thing now. Many people don't know how much harm this thing has. Even Professor Wu, who has the most in-depth research, is not completely clear now.
"Yes, Mr. Ren, I also think that it cannot be built here in the Border Region. We are not sure how harmful the radiation from these things is now, but it must be there. We have studied cases where small animals and plants have mutated."
Ren Zhong nodded and emphasized. "Professor Wu, I am a layman in reactor technology, so I won't give random guidance, but I can confirm the dangers. This thing is much more dangerous than we imagine now.
Regarding this point, I want to remind the research team, and even seriously warn them, that everyone who comes into contact with uranium must do a good job of safety protection. Each of your core researchers must wear the radiation protection suits I gave you. As for other personnel who come into contact with uranium, they must wear the lead protective suits I mentioned before. This is currently the only effective measure to prevent radiation."
Ren Zhong has specially studied things in the field of radiation protection. In the main world, radiation protection clothing is specially made of radiation protection fabric, which is woven from natural cotton fiber, sweat-absorbing and breathable polyester fiber and ultra-fine metal fiber using high-tech nanotechnology. The metal shielding mesh is fine and firm, and the content is about 30%. Its shielding effectiveness can reach 99.97%.
But in this plane, Ren Zhong does not have the conditions to manufacture this kind of clothing, so he can only use the traditional and bulky method of lead clothing. Only Professor Wu and other core researchers can wear the more than one hundred sets of modern production fully enclosed protective clothing that Ren Zhong painstakingly obtained from the main world and brought into the Liangjian world, as a defense for the core team.
Ren Zhong needs to carry too many goods now and cannot bring them more clothing.
"Understood, Mr. Ren, your concern for our scientific researchers is obvious to all. We will carry out research work in accordance with the safety guidelines you provided. We will definitely keep our useful bodies and release the power to ignite the sun that you mentioned, Mr. Ren!" Professor Wu said excitedly.
Although she was attracted back by half of Fermi's theory, after coming into contact with Ren Zhong's peaceful bomb theory and introduction, she also devoted herself to this great cause without hesitation. Now every step is being realized one by one according to Ren Zhong's plan.
This makes Professor Wu, who has almost thoroughly understood the theory, full of admiration for Ren Zhong.
Now the Dawn Research Institute has only raised the level of the first-class stove for these top researchers to the level of having meat at every meal, the second-class stove has meat every two days, and the third-class stove has meat once a week.
In the current environment where the Border Region has just solved the problem of food and clothing, it feels a little extravagant. After all, food is still not so abundant, and the cost of raising pigs, cattle and sheep is still very high. In terms of meat and poultry eggs, except for the Dawn Research Institute, even the high-level officials in the Border Region cannot see meat dishes once a day.
Only the first-class stove of the Dawn Research Institute has a special living standard of having meat dishes at every meal.
Because Ren Zhong directly opened a breeding farm for the Eighth Regiment of the Guards who were guarding him, which raised pigs and chickens.
The people at the Dawn Research Institute certainly know what the situation is outside. What more could they ask for when the research institute provides them with such excellent conditions?
"Regarding the new test pile research base, I will coordinate with the Border Region to provide full guarantee. After choosing a good place, we will send people to build the living facilities first," Ren Zhong said.

"No, Mr. Ren, we will start simultaneously with the engineering construction team. We don't have time to waste now. We can do what the engineering team can live in!" Professor Wu shook her head and said firmly.
Looking at Professor Wu's persistent appearance, Ren Zhong knew that it would be difficult to persuade her to give up.
He couldn't help but have a headache. This Yikezhao League is not the Border Region, the conditions are too poor, and the supply line is very long. The living supply is really a big problem. This place really can't be chosen too badly.
With the problem in mind, Ren Zhong returned to the main world and carefully selected the address of this test pile. After selecting and selecting, the place he liked was placed on the Maowusu on the edge of Jingbian.
Now the road leading to Jingbian has been opened, and it is only more than 100 kilometers from the Dawn Research Institute to the edge of the Maowusu Desert, which can be considered convenient transportation.
In addition, it is uninhabited, which meets Ren Zhong's second condition. Even the first explosion in the future can be carried out here. In addition, it is a plateau, far away from the river, which blocks the spread of radiation. From a natural point of view, this place should meet Ren Zhong's several rigid requirements.
Ren Zhong brought back this result and took the engineering team of the Eighth Regiment of the Border Region to the north to investigate with Professor Wu.
After an on-site visit, the two of them liked this place.
For Professor Wu, it is enough to have a place to implement her plan without harming the outside world. Of course, Ren Zhong has to think more about it, and it cannot cause a large-scale disaster after something goes wrong.
This basically does not exist here. On the plateau above 1200 meters above sea level, there are no large water systems passing through. Even in the worst case, if it is discovered and destroyed by the Japanese devils, the spread range can be controlled in the desert, which basically does not have much impact on the surrounding area.
The two of them passed, and the project code-named Houyi Project was launched in this way.
The Border Region organized the engineering team and the migrant workers in Jingbian to launch an engineering campaign. According to the progress, the construction of the infrastructure houses can be completed in at most three months. The road from Jingbian to the Houyi base is on the edge of the desert. The Victory I can actually run directly, but of course, you can't be harsh on the load. Under light load conditions, the Victory I can almost be used as an all-terrain vehicle on the spot.
After all, it can run up a 40-degree slope!
Of course, a 10-kilometer direct road has also begun to be planned and constructed. After all, there are still a lot of building materials that must be transported in from the outside. Even if it is sand, don't think that it is everywhere here, but these cannot be used as building materials.
Standing in front of the desert, Ren Zhong suddenly thought of something new he wanted from the rogue eagle.
Large chapter update, second update, starting today, it will be merged into a 3000-word large chapter, and the number of updated words of 6000+ will not be less.
