Chapter 166 Terrifying conjecture, nuclear radiation raw materials

This phenomenon did not attract much attention from Lin Yuan. He just glanced at it and didn't take it to heart.

Fortunately, after waiting for less than a minute, the boss came over.

He smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long."

Lin Yuan stood up and replied with a smile: "It's okay, you are busy with your business."

"Busy working."

But the words just fell.

The boss accidentally saw the blue powder on the ground and muttered to himself in confusion: "What is this?"

When Lin Yuan heard this, he quickly explained: "When we came in just now, we saw a cat coming out. It seems that it brought out the blue powder."

"Oh" The boss nodded thoughtfully.

But then, he seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: "Wait a moment, I'll go in and take a look."

After saying that, he went straight to the back room.

As a result, the next second, an angry voice came out: "These damn wild cats, I would have killed them all if I had known."

Lin Yuan curiously stretched his head and looked inside.

Found the boss squatting on the ground.

In front of him, there was a large pool of broken glass, and a lot of blue powder scattered on the ground.

I guess it was because the cat accidentally broke the glass bottle just now, that's why it happened.

But what surprised Lin Yuan was.

There's something weird about these blue powders.

The back room was filled with groceries, the windows were blocked, and the light in the room was very dim.

The blue powder seemed to be glowing faintly on the ground.

This is a bit strange.

It was normal to have reflections after being exposed to the sun before.

It still glows in the dark, could it be luminous powder?

But the question is, how can anyone make luminous powder blue?

In his impression, blue powder seemed to be rare.

The boss looked for a disposable cup with a pained look on his face, and then shoveled the powder into the cup with a small shovel.

Seeing Lin Yuan coming over, he smiled apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, just wait for me."

"This was originally in a glass bottle, and it glows at night, which is very beautiful."

"I planned to give it to my daughter on her birthday, but it was shattered by a wild cat. What a pity!"

Lin Yuan smiled and comforted: "Isn't it just luminous powder? At worst, I can just buy another copy. It doesn't cost much."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boss immediately shook his head: "This is not luminous powder. I collect scraps myself. I still know luminous powder."

"You may not believe it, but this thing was originally in a very special cylindrical metal can. The can looked like a good thing."

"I opened it out of curiosity, and it turned out that there was blue powder and a glass bottle inside. Although I didn't know what it was, I thought it must be something complicated."

"Don't you think the color of this powder is particularly charming?"

Lin Yuan nodded silently, but an unknown sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

A glass bottle with blue powder inside, but it is stored in a very special-looking cylindrical metal jar.

Indeed, as the boss said, this blue powder is anything but ordinary.

This is where the problem lies.

If it only glows at night, that's normal, and many things will do.

If it is just valuable items, it is normal to store them in special containers.

But once the two are combined.

That’s a bit intriguing! !

The use of metal tubes and glass jars is obviously to protect the blue powder inside.

But conversely, it can also be understood that these protections are to protect those who come into contact with them!

Something so important that it needs to be protected, and it glows in the dark!

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility in his mind!

Nuclear radiation raw materials! !

Take radium, for example. In the early years, the United States regarded radium as a treasure.

It lights up at night and looks so cool!

The Americans at that time thought that thing contained huge energy.

If you take it into your stomach, it can bring various benefits to your body.

Therefore, various daily necessities were developed at that time, including radium-added kettles, skin care products, toothpaste, chocolate ice cream, and other outrageous products.

It wasn't until many people died that it was confirmed that the thing contained huge radiation.

Take uranium for nuclear bombs, for example. Radium is 1.4 million times more radioactive!

What is this concept?

Looking at the unknown blue powder in front of him, Lin Yuan thought of another terrible nuclear radiation raw material.

Cesium-137!

In his impression, only cesium-137 is in the form of blue powder and glows!

But

But how could this kind of nuclear material, which is more valuable than gold, end up in a scrapyard?

This was also the reason why he didn't think about it at first.

In daily life, ordinary people are not exposed to cesium-137.

It has a wide range of applications.

For example, medicine can use its strong radioactivity to kill cancer tumor cells.

It can also be used to kill bacteria in food and so on.

There are many uses besides this.

But no matter which one it is, we attach great importance to its protection.

Because it's terrifyingly radioactive.

You should know that the half-life of cesium 137 is only 30 years.

In nuclear energy science, theoretically speaking, the shorter the half-life, the stronger its nuclear radiation.

Because it released all the radiation from its body in a short period of time.

If we insist on comparison, the radiation hazard of cesium-137 far exceeds that of radium!

It releases beta particles and terrifying gamma rays.

Gamma rays are something that can only be produced by supernova explosions.

Just thinking about it makes you realize how terrifying the power is.

Intuitively speaking, if the skin is in direct contact, the skin will be delaminated even if it is not dead.

If it gets into the stomach, even if the King of Heaven comes, I won’t be able to save it.

If this is really the case, then everyone in this room today, including him, Lin Yuan, will suffer.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan saw the boss who was collecting the powder with tools and shouted loudly: "Boss!! Stop first, don't touch it, that thing is poisonous!!"

The boss paused when he heard this, and his whole body shook unconsciously.

He hurriedly put down the tools in his hands and looked over with a confused look.

Lin Yuan didn't have time to explain too much, so he pulled the photographer and ran outside, shouting at the same time: "Don't ask, come out first, and wash your hands quickly!! Don't touch that powder!"

"Oh" The boss was also frightened by Lin Yuan's sudden change, and ran out as ordered.

But he found that Lin Yuan seemed to be avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.

There was no time to think about it. After washing his hands, he asked in a panic: "What on earth is going on? Don't scare me."

The photographer also looked confused and asked: "Brother? What's wrong? Isn't it just blue powder?"

But just after asking the question, the photographer suddenly saw that Lin Yuan's face turned extremely ugly at this moment.

I was suddenly shocked.

In his opinion, Lin Yuan rarely shows such gaffes.

Whenever this happened in the past, something big happened.

Thinking of it now, the photographer couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and his heart shuddered, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

However, he didn't know the reason why Lin Yuan looked ugly.

It's because he thought of two things.

One thing is that there was blue powder on the ground just now, although he didn't have close contact with it like the boss.

But there was inevitably a lot of blue powder on their soles.
