538 Chapter 537 African Uranium Mine (please subscribe!) (1/2)

Just after the Mole and them were interrogated.

Tang Qing, who was fishing, saw the results of the interrogation. Don't even mention it. In addition to receiving nearly 30 million US dollars in funds, the intelligence provided by Mole and Flying Fish is also a bit interesting.

Not only did he crack several unsettled cases, but also obtained some very good information, something that the command room didn't know.

For example, Mole said that a small family in Egypt discovered a dynasty treasure more than ten years ago. The gold obtained alone was no less than 300 tons, and there were countless other properties. The source of this information was a direct descendant of the family.

After that, Mole killed him himself, because he was the target of that mission.

That mission was obviously a struggle for power in their family. Before the direct descendants died, they wanted Mole to announce the news and take revenge on this ruthless family.

But the Mole didn't do this, and kept it in his heart, planning to find a chance to blackmail the family if there is no money to spend in the future.

just.

Mole didn't have this chance.

Subsequently, under the investigation of the command office, the family really sold nearly 100 tons of gold in the past ten years, using several gold mines to cover up, and many other valuable works of art passed its banner. Auction houses flow into the market.

Huge amounts of money have been cashed out, and the business has become bigger and bigger.

Its wealth is currently ranked among the top 20 families in Egypt.

If the information is correct, it means that this family still has nearly two hundred tons of gold. With so much gold, Tang Qing thinks that there is an impulse for people to grab it immediately. Of course, the impulse is just an impulse.

However, the most important thing is a piece of information provided by Feiyu.

That was in South Africa. During another mission, he accidentally learned of a secret factory in an island country where the yellow cake was stored.

The command room checked carefully.

It was discovered that this factory is under the umbrella of a mining company in the United States. The company is a Japanese-American holding company. On the surface it is an oil extraction company, but in fact it is a company specializing in secretly mining uranium ore and extracting'yellow cake' .

Yellow cake.

It is a further refined product of uranium ore, but because the early technology was not developed, the refined products were all yellow in color and made into cakes, so it got the second name.

With the advancement of the refining process, it is now mainly brown and black, but people get used to it, and people collectively call it ”yellow cake”. It is stable in nature and easy to store and transport. As long as it is sealed, it will not cause harm to the human body. Of course , Can not be in direct contact with the skin and inhaled into the lungs.

Internationally, nuclear raw materials are generally traded in the form of'yellow cake'.

According to Feiyu, this factory has been helping island countries to produce and store ”yellow cakes” and transport them to the smelting plants in the next African country under the name of oil for refining, and finally produce various intermediate uranium-containing substances for storage as needed. Get up, in case you need it.

In order to avoid any accidents.

The entire chain in Africa does not produce highly enriched uranium and weapon-grade enriched uranium, but only produces low-enriched uranium for power generation in nuclear power plants, with very low abundance, but after this fuel rod is used by nuclear power plants, spent nuclear fuel rods are newer The fuel rods are more precious.

Because these spent fuel rods contain an important raw material for making atomic bombs, plutonium 239, and the island country has all the processing technology and refining capabilities for it.

So Tang Qing wondered if he wanted to rob.

Scientists in the laboratory are still studying the'civilian nuclear power plant solution'. It is estimated that it will take more than half a month to come up with a mature finished solution. He has also been considering how to get nuclear fuel.

Although there are many merchants selling ”yellow cakes” in Africa, Tang Qing feels at ease since he can spend no money, why spend the wrong money and grab things from the island country.

Think about it.

He asked Xiao Er to pick up Tang Yi's image. The next moment, the movie paused, and Tang Yi's whole body image appeared on the water five meters ahead of Tang Qing's right.

”Tang Yi, do we have uranium ore in our hands?” Tang Qing asked.

”The commander-in-chief, there is a small uranium mine in eastern Tanzania, which belongs to a company in the mining alliance. It is uninhabited within a radius of 20 kilometers and has an estimated reserve of about 150,000 tons. It just wants to form a stable mining. It takes at least three months.

We have discovered four unowned uranium mines in Africa. If necessary, we will immediately make plans to get them.”Tang Yi replied.

Tang Qing nodded, 150,000 tons. This is the weight of uranium ore, not uranium. It is not too much. Even if it is fully mined, several hundred kilograms of weapon-grade enriched uranium can be extracted. If the ore is of quality No, this number is even less.

Uranium ore is an important resource. Once discovered, it has basically become the pocket of the big countries. It is only in the past ten years that the big ore has basically been divided up, and the rest are small mines of this kind, and countries have stopped frantically taking ore. Otherwise, the ownerless uranium mine is not so easy to handle.

”Three months, it's been a long time. In this way, we don't have to rush to get those unowned uranium mines. We will not have this demand in the short term.

Tang Yi, you first investigate the situation of the factory and find out how many yellow cakes are there. If it is enough for us, we will immediately make a plan. If it is not enough, we will find a way to contact other sellers to make up.”Tang Qing ordered.

”Yes, commander in command.” Tang Yi replied.

Tang Qing really wanted to rely on robbing everything, but that was too ostentatious. If there are several news that nuclear materials have been robbed, all countries have to pay close attention to it, and the International Atomic Energy Agency is not a vegetarian.

He has not yet become a towering tree, and he does not need to challenge the nerves of all countries.

Now that the'heavy nuclear fission technology' is available in the mall, it is still unclear whether there will be a'controllable nuclear fusion' technology in the future. If that happens, these uranium mines will be a chicken rib, and it will be useless.

As for the Egyptian family that found the treasure, Tang Qing didn't make any decisions now, just as a'storage', put it there first, and then dig it out to satisfy hunger if necessary.
