The ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Allied Nations that had suffered comparatively little impact were still clamoring about Homeland Defense Operations，saying that several hundred million citizens piled together could force the Alliance back out。

Just ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍as Ernesto had once done against the Allied Army，the army formed by the Alliance would likewise become trapped in the vast ocean of the people and drift with the current，and when that happened，they could negotiate a Peace Armistice Treaty with the Alliance。

A ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍peaceful armistice jointly negotiated，and defeat were two completely different things，the former was discussed at the negotiating table，while the latter was on the dining table~

Since ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the Alliance dared to speak this way，naturally it had something it relied upon。

During the Alliance’s experimental stage it manufactured a total of two Atomic Bombs，one Plutonium Bomb made from Plutonium-239，and the other a Nuclear Bomb made using purified Uranium-235。

Bratt and Yadov both saw that plump big fellow inside an open area of the Alliance’s officially undocumented Secret Special Laboratory。

“This is the thing you detonated back then？I can’t see what’s different about it either...are you sure this thing can actually be detonated？”

Bratt looked somewhat suspiciously at the lump of iron before him，because with his Saint-level magical cultivation he did not sense much threat from this thing，only a faint trace at most。

Standing before it could be said to feel like standing before a small bomb，at most it gave off a level of threat that might leave someone in a sorry state，far from reaching the level of Decisive Weapon claimed by the Alliance。

The smile on Coy’s face remained unchanged as he softly explained：

“This is also one of its advantages，before the Fission Reaction occurs its Threat Level is approximately within the range of 1 kilogram of explosives，but once it completes the Chain Reaction，under the same volume of 1 kilogram its Energy Release is approximately 20 million times that of explosives，while the process of Energy Expansion takes approximately one millionth of a second。”

“According to our estimates，if the opponent has not escaped in advance when it is deployed，then after the detonation begins doing work the directly affected range will become an Inescapable Zone，they must directly endure its complete Energy Release Process，even a Half-God would be severely injured after taking it head-on。”

“Oh right，what I’m talking about assumes the Alliance’s current technology and a 5kg charge，in the future once research in this field deepens，I believe its power can still be greatly increased。”

The method used to purify Uranium-235 from Uranium-238 Ore was the Gaseous Diffusion Method，this method was the most intuitive and straightforward and suitable for beginners，it was just that the total investment and resources consumed amounted to an astronomical figure。

The Gaseous Diffusion Method involved heating Uranium Ore until it sublimated into gas，the Uranium-238 Molecules inside were 1.3% heavier than the Uranium-235 Molecules，and the difference in weight made separating them possible，it was just that the amount of Uranium-235 retained through each filtering and screening was extremely tiny，so it had to be ground out bit by bit。

Tens of thousands of filtration exchanges required enormous amounts of Energy to keep the machinery working without interruption，and only in the end could a tiny amount of High-purity Uranium-235 barely be purified。

That was why Plutonium-239 became the alternative，because compared with separating the isotopes Uranium-238-235，converting Uranium-238 into Uranium-239 and then allowing it to decay into Plutonium-239 was much easier，lower in cost and somewhat more convenient。

Plutonium-239 was also an important material for later Implosion-type Atomic Bombs，the previously test-detonated Atomic Bomb with a 5kg Plutonium-239 charge was estimated to have had a yield of around 8000 Tons TNT Equivalent，while the fission power of 1kg of Plutonium-239 or Uranium-235 was roughly 18000 tons。

In other words strictly speaking that test bomb should have had a yield of 80-90000 Tons TNT Equivalent，so even without the later development route，there was still enormous room for subsequent improvements and upgrades to the existing Atomic Bomb。

As everyone knew，the process of an Atomic Bomb Nuclear Explosion was actually extremely simple and could be summarized in a single sentence，when two pieces of Nuclear Charge came together and exceeded the reserved Critical Mass，once the amount surpassed that threshold a Chain Reaction would automatically be triggered and thereby complete the detonation。

According to the basic principle，under high pressure the density of uranium would likewise be compressed to a higher density。

Based on this，a spherical device made from High-energy Explosives could be manufactured，using simultaneously initiated focused pressure to raise the pressure and density inside the sphere，thereby exceeding the Critical Mass and completing detonation。

The later Hydrogen Bomb followed the same triggering route，it was just that in the Hydrogen Bomb the detonator used for triggering was an Atomic Bomb，the high-temperature high-pressure fission of the Atomic Bomb ignited the Fusion Reaction of a new element，while the explosive power of Fusion had no upper limit，its power was generally hundreds to thousands of times greater than Fission。

If Uranium-238 was added to the outer layer as a Booster to increase the power，then a single Hydrogen Bomb would go through three processes，first Fission then Fusion and then Fission again，and thus it was naturally called a Three-stage Bomb。

The reason the second bomb was not test-detonated afterward was also because of this，they wanted to re-optimize it based on the latest Nuclear Explosion Data they had obtained，no matter what，only by holding something good in one’s hands could one speak with confidence。

Bratt stared at the device for a long time before suddenly blurting out：“If it really has the power you described，then...sell me one？I’m not even thinking about the technology，just get me one and let me see who still dares offend me in the future。”

“Uh...”

Coy was somewhat speechless，after thinking for a moment he did not directly refuse and instead said tactfully：“Actually compared with selling weapons，the Alliance may not necessarily refuse to provide the technology。But forgive me for speaking frankly，with your nation’s current level of Industrial Technology，it cannot be done。”

“It roughly involves Nuclear Physics、Neutron Physics、High-temperature High-pressure Condensed Matter Physics、Supersonic Fluid Dynamics、Detonation Science、Computational Mathematics and Materials Science...and other academic specialties。”

Looking at the bewilderment on Bratt and Yadov’s faces，Coy stopped talking：

“In short，to understand this weapon，no，it should be said to understand the application of this kind of Energy，it requires not only specialized education and knowledge，but also a nation with deep Industrial Foundations to provide the material basis needed to move what is learned from theory into practical application...”

“Sorry，I need to take a communication。”

Coy glanced at his Secretary who was making hand signals，then after greeting the two of them walked over：“What is it？”

He did not blame his Secretary for disturbing him on an important occasion，if it had not been something even more important nobody would have been so tactless。

“Prime Minister，a dedicated line from the Internal Affairs Department...”

“Mm？”

Coy took the device，inside it a Magical Message quietly waited for him to decrypt it。He lowered his head and looked at it，then used the method the Internal Affairs Department had left for him to remove the Restriction，but in the end it did not unlock successfully。

He was surprised for an instant and lowered his head to examine it carefully，the more he looked the more familiar the Magical Fluctuations attached to it felt，and subconsciously he unlocked it according to the communication method once used between the siblings，sure enough it passed immediately。

His hand trembled slightly，although he had always been very rational，believing that Mitia had merely left to take a somewhat longer rest，and he was extremely confident that he would live until the day his Elder Sister returned。

But when he truly received a message from her，he still could not prevent a tremor from arising deep within his heart。

Unable to care about his excitement he hurriedly opened it and carefully read the message，yet what had been left inside once again gave him that familiar yet unfamiliar feeling of astonishment。
