In this way, it is only a matter of time to retake the kingdom! "Has the next Saint been chosen?" Lucia asked.
"This is the list of candidates..." The Pope stroked the scepter in his hand, and five human-shaped images appeared in the Sky Tower.
They are all girls between 16 and 18 years old. Their looks, identities, status and talents are impeccable. Four of them are very devout in their faith and have acquired the spiritual power level of a bishop under the careful training of the local church.
The remaining person surprised Lucia a little. She was not a nun but a member of the God's Punishment Army. Logically, she should not be qualified to be selected.
"This is Ivana Pedro, the second daughter of Viscount Pedro of the Eastern Harbor Town. She passed the selection of the God's Punishment Army two years ago. Although her psychic talent is a little lacking, she possesses extraordinary combat instincts. She was specially recommended to me by the commander of the God's Punishment Army." The Pope explained respectfully.
"The East Border Harbor Town is the place that was almost burned by the hellfire?" Lucia paused and said in surprise.
This incident was a big deal, so naturally it reached her ears. She heard that it was about a great wizard who had been lurking in the empire for a long time. It was only because Edelweir arrived in time that he expelled the wizard. Such a tragedy had not happened in the Holy See for many years! "Yes!" The Pope nodded, and then continued. "The eldest son of the Pedro family was killed by a wizard in that catastrophe. Ivana's joining the God's Punishment Army should also be related to this."
"Is this another revenge drama?" Lucia was quite bored. After listening to Ivina's information, she didn't care much.
No matter how powerful your combat talent is, it is only icing on the cake. Only psychic power is the foundation of everything!
Lucia randomly picked a candidate that she liked, then waved her hand and said, "You guys go down. I'm sleepy and need to rest."
The two people present nodded and saluted, then quickly left the Sky Tower.
After walking out of the tower, Chief Judge Joshua sighed and said, "It's a pity that the kingdom fell at this time."
In just three to five years, the goal of one million devout believers can be achieved.
Those wizards chose this time to create a rebellion in the kingdom, causing tens of thousands of devout believers to die in war and persecution. Their plan may need to be delayed again...
"That's okay. Since Your Majesty is willing to personally take action to eliminate the Wizarding Council, the archenemy of the Holy See, it may not be a bad thing." The Pope said in a calm tone.
After witnessing the might of God, the people of the kingdom will naturally return to the Lord's embrace...
…
In a tightly controlled laboratory in the royal capital of Hadratta, Orlando, Philip and more than thirty other wizards of the Iyeta School were busy drawing a huge alchemical array underground.
While everyone was busy drawing the electromagnetic array, Lin En was not idle either. After preliminary testing, the uranium content of the outer shell of this demon stone was as high as over 95%!
Of course, not all uranium is suitable for use in nuclear weapons.
Natural uranium ore has three isotopes: uranium 234, uranium 235 and uranium 238.
Uranium 235 is different. It is the only isotope in nature that can undergo natural fission. Its radioactivity is 6.5 times that of uranium-238 and it is the most important fuel for nuclear weapons!
However, its natural reserves are extremely scarce. For every thousand uranium atoms, there are only seven uranium-235 atoms!
Uranium 234 is even less, only 0.0054%! In fact, the principle of nuclear weapons is also very simple, that is, to let a neutron hit a fissile atom like uranium 235, forcing it to split into two smaller atoms. During the fission process, several extra neutrons will be produced and fired at other uranium 235, thus generating a chain reaction, causing all nuclear fuel to fission in a short period of time.
The mass loss produced in the atomic splitting process will be converted into a large amount of energy and released according to the mass-energy equation. This is the so-called nuclear explosion!
However, although this principle is simple to say, it is not so easy to actually do it.
When testing the uranium content, Lin En discovered a thorny problem, that is, he was unable to use [Advanced Material Deconstruction Technique] to decompose the element uranium!
This discovery surprised Lin En greatly. After becoming a great wizard, he used this technique to analyze the forty-nine known elements in the wizarding land.
Previously, Lin En had thought that with his current strength, no atom would be able to escape his magic infection, but he didn't expect to encounter a tough opponent this time...
However, uranium is indeed somewhat different from the elements discovered by wizards before. First of all, it is a radioactive element with the chemical symbol U and atomic number 92. It belongs to the special actinide series in the periodic table and is also the heaviest element that can be found in nature in the previous life...
Lin En pondered for a while and guessed that it was possible that all the actinide elements, that is, the 15 radioactive elements with atomic numbers 89 to 103 in the periodic table IIIB group, could not be analyzed by the power of the great wizard.
This may be why they have not been discovered yet...
Thinking of this, Lin En felt somewhat helpless. This meant that his previous dream of using magic to mimic uranium 235 and thus release nuclear explosions infinitely was shattered.
Now we can only use its power in a slightly more scientific way...
After working all night, Alok and others drew the last electromagnetic symbol on the ground. After confirming that it was correct, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dean, the electromagnetic array you need has been set up." Alok wiped the sweat from his head and spoke with great excitement.
"Very good, then let's get started!" Lin En walked forward, and after making sure that there was no problem with the formation, he used the [Mage's Hand] to send the 'Demon Stone' to the center of the formation, and then activated the alchemy formation.
The next moment, the complex inscriptions carved on the ground lit up one by one, incandescent lightning appeared inside the magic circle, and the hissing sound of electric arcs hitting dust continued to ring out in the secret room. The powerful and violent thunder force was firmly bound within the magic circle with a radius of about three meters, and soon gathered and surged towards the demon stone placed in the center...
