"Of course you can't buy it directly, but in our daily lives, there are some things that can extract trace amounts of materials." He Xingzhou directly searched the Internet for an abandoned smoke alarm.

"The probe of the smoke alarm has atoms 241, and the atoms 241 will emit α particles. Take out the atoms 241 from hundreds of smoke detectors and wrap them with aluminum foil. When the α particles hit the aluminum atoms in the aluminum foil, a nuclear reaction will occur and neutrons will be released."

"In this way, the neutron gun raw material used to impact nuclear fuel rods is available."

He Xingzhou has found the manufacturer of smoke alarms online. He carefully searched in the manufacturer's information, found the manufacturer with americium 241 in the probe raw material, and then went to a second-hand website to buy hundreds of them wholesale.

"This is OK?" exclaimed the three roommates, "then this is just the raw material for neutron guns and the material for nuclear fuel rods?"

He Xingzhou continued: "The surface coating compounds of old-fashioned gas lampshades contain thorium-232. bombarding thorium with neutrons can produce uranium-233, which is the material for nuclear fission."

He also bought hundreds of second-hand car lampshades on second-hand online.

"The nuclear raw materials extracted from these materials are very rare, and it is impossible to make a nuclear reaction device that can generate sustainable and stable power. But it is enough for me. I only need to produce a nuclear fission reaction once." He Xingzhou said.

Hearing his words, the three roommates were really convinced, and he didn't expect that he even thought of this level.

"I suddenly felt a little convinced that you might succeed!" Wang Jiahao said.

"Boss is really six, wait and see!" Feng Tao sighed.

"I have nothing to say, just wait for the nuclear reactor to appear!" Zhang Yang was also convinced.

He Xingzhou said: "I will ask you to help you, such as refining raw materials, shooting videos, etc."

"For us!" The three of them agreed immediately.

He Xingzhou started his own micro nuclear reactor manufacturing plan, and the things he bought online arrived one by one, because they were all second-hand garbage goods, and the money spent less than the budget.

These things piled up throughout the dormitory. Given that the roommates were looking forward to He Xingzhou's masterpiece, they had no objection to this and even took the initiative to help.

In the dormitory, Wang Jiahao took his cell phone and shot at He Xingzhou. They were making videos.

He Xingzhou said to the video: "Hello everyone, my name is He Xingzhou, I am a student of Capital University of Science and Technology."

"Because I wanted to verify my own idea, I decided to build a miniature nuclear reactor myself. For this reason, I wrote a complete experimental plan. The plan has been approved by relevant departments. I would like to remind everyone that nuclear tests must be approved, so please do not conduct dangerous experiments without authorization."

"My reactor mainly includes five structures, active zone, neutron reflection layer, control and regulation system, cooling system, and protective layer."

"Now I am taking the first step to collect the material of the nuclear fission reactor. I have some second-hand smoke alarms here, and at its probe, there is a small amount of americium 241. This only makes a neutron reflective layer, which is the raw material for the neutron gun that impacts the nuclear raw material atom."

"The following process will be carried out in the laboratory, and since it cannot be spread at will, it will be cut out in the video."

He Xingzhou used these waste materials to extract some americium in the laboratory.

He plans to create a series of videos while experimenting, called "College Students' Homemade Nuclear Reactor".

He specially registered an account on the video website Bilibili, named the ID "Planet Builder", and then chose to publish his first video.

After the release, He Xingzhou no longer managed his account, but started his second step in a hurry to build the basic device for the reactor.

The incident of He Xingzhou building a micro-nuclear fission reactor only attracted a few days of attention among his classmates and disappeared.

In this era of information explosion, there are a large number of new things every day, and everyone thinks that He Xingzhou is just a whim and cannot successfully create a nuclear reactor, so in just one week, few people paid attention to this matter again.

Only physics professors such as Zhang Boyan have always been concerned.

On B.com, videos are posted with many video bloggers every day, and most people see videos of those big UP masters.

When newcomers post videos, they rarely have the chance to be seen.

The first video released by He Xingzhou only had four views. Moreover, these four clicks were all clicked by him and his roommate themselves, and there was not a single new audience.

"This is not OK, no one watches this video at all!" Wang Jiahao was helping He Xingzhou edit the second video.

"Maybe everyone thought it was fake when they saw the title. And they had no fans, and they didn't recommend the big data." He Xingzhou said, "No matter what, let's release the second issue first."

"The second video is called "College Students' Homemade Nuclear Reactor - Phase 2, Pressure Cooker Making Active Reaction Zone."

After the video was edited, He Xingzhou posted the video again.

Because there are no fans, no one will watch this video when it is sent out. However, the new video will enter the background of the video editor for review. For videos that the video editor thinks are interested in, some resources will be provided to promote.

He Xingzhou's video entered the backstage of a video editing in the Technology Video Channel.

"Recently, the UP hosts of the technology channel are getting worse and worse!" Video editor "Xiaomu" complained to his colleagues while working.

"There were a lot of content in the past, but now it's all mobile phone reviews and electric vehicle reviews, and there are no hot videos."

For editors, the more popular videos, the better the editor's performance.

"It's all like this." said colleague "Ant", "mainly because the newcomer's creativity is too boring. Apart from following the trend and shooting review videos of technology products, there will be no other shots, so naturally there will be no hits."

They were chatting, and Xiaomu suddenly saw a new video appearing in the backstage: "College Students' Homemade Nuclear Reactor - Phase 2, Pressure Cooker Making Active Reaction Area".

"Hmm?" He had an impression of this video, and he had seen the first episode before.

He only watched it for a minute and turned it off because he thought that the UP owner was the title party, so why did he make a nuclear reactor? Isn't this funny? Who has the ability to do this!

Moreover, the content of the first issue was also very boring, talking about refining elements. At that time, Xiaomu felt bored and false, so he did not promote it.

Today, when he saw that he had actually had the second issue, Xiaomu clicked in curiously and took a look.

In the video, He Xingzhou's face appeared. He was transforming a pressure cooker in the laboratory.

"Hello everyone, I am He Xingzhou. In the last issue, we have extracted the raw materials for the Americium 341 and the neutron reflective layer. What we are going to do today is to make the active area, which is where the nuclear reaction occurs. The main raw materials we use include two stainless steel pressure cookers, one small water pump, one electric fan, one radiator, several small-diameter plastic pipes, and several conductive wires."

"Can you use this to make a nuclear reactor? What about teasing me?" Although his first reaction was that he didn't believe it, Xiaomu was even more curious about this video and continued to watch it.
Chapter completed!
