Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

After being seen through, Bessia felt a little embarrassed, but her desire for scientific exploration overcame that little bit of embarrassment. After adjusting her mood, she followed Qiao Nian's words and said, "I do want to ask you a question. Is it wrong for me to use the Purex process next? I see you smile."

"The Purex process is widely used because of its efficiency and success." Qiao Nian stared at Bessia, squinted her eyes, and chuckled, "But I think the Butex process is more suitable for you."

She pointed to the busy people who were extracting liquid.

"The Butex process uses two solvents for separation. Undiluted dibutyl carbitol is used for preliminary separation and purification of uranium, and kerosene-diluted TBP is used for purification of plutonium."

"This process is too complicated." Bessia said.

Qiao Nian was neither arrogant nor impatient: "Everyone says that dibutyl carbitol can effectively extract hexavalent uranium, tetravalent plutonium and hexavalent plutonium, but rarely extracts trivalent plutonium. Plutonium can be separated from uranium by back extraction with ferrous aminosulfonic acid aqueous solution. However, due to the high viscosity and high density of dibutyl carbitol, which is close to water, and the need to use two different extractants, the process is complicated, so it has also been replaced by the Purex process."

"But I think... chemical experiments are like life. Sometimes the results obtained by omitting the process too much may seem to be the optimal solution, but it may also lose more possibilities."

Besia fell into deep thought.

Qiao Nian relaxed: "You can think about it yourself. I just provide you with an option. You are not forced to do it according to what I say."

"I believe what you said." After a brief consideration, Bethea raised her head, her expression became firm, and she turned to the black man and said: "Let's change the method today. Let's try the Butex process that the chemist said."

She tilted her head and explained to Qiao Nian: "I have always used the Purex process before, and I have never thought of changing it. I have used it for hundreds of experiments before. The results are almost the same if I do it more or less. I also want to try something else."

Qiao Nian shrugged: "Doing research is your own business. It is more important for you to believe in yourself than to believe in me. Just do it when you have made up your mind. You don't need to explain it to me."

Bethea was relieved when she heard her say this, "Thank you, chemist." This is the second time she said thank you to Qiao Nian today.

Qiao Nian accepted her thanks without comment this time, looked away, and waited for the results of Bethea's experiment to come out.

The experiment is a time-consuming and boring thing. More than 20 people waited in the third laboratory for a whole day.

The results of today's experiment came out.

They successfully separated the plutonium salt, and the amount obtained this time was much larger than any previous time!

"Damn, it worked! I got goose bumps." The black man cried with joy. This result was related to the improvement of the purity of their previous experiments and the change of extraction methods.

The person in charge of recording the data immediately recorded the results into the small computer he carried, and then obtained first-hand information through computer calculations.

She immediately reported to Bethea: "Captain, this time we used the Butex process to increase the amount of plutonium salt obtained by 3% compared to the previous use of the Purex process!"

Bethea immediately looked in the direction of the girl, surprised and happy, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart, and wanted to share this result with Qiao Nian immediately.

The chemist just casually pointed out that they could improve by 3%. She had no doubt that if the chemist personally led them to conduct this experiment, they could improve by much!
