After two weeks of countless efforts to mimic the elements, in a specially prepared room covered in lead walls.
Marie was sitting in a chair as she was analyzing one of the last two elements on the periodic table, which was extremely dangerous.
Uranium and plutonium, which because of their highly radioactive nature, were left until the end.
Marie, who was holding two uranium jars, looked curiously at the differences between the two.
In the first one, she could feel that the atoms were stable. According to the bottle, she could read that it was uranium 238, but the other bottle was completely different.
Well, she could feel that Uranium could divide to form energy. Although she did not understand how to do it, she seemed to be able to feel that she could motivate the isotope of Uranium to separate.
On the bottle he could read Uranium 23.
"If I understand correctly, the bottle on my left is the uranium commonly found in nature, which is why it has the number 238.
But the one in my right hand is the one that can split its atom to create a nuclear fission reaction. This uranium 235 went through a process in a centrifuge.
It is the cause that the exterior of Chicago is full of radiation and there is no life, right? "
On the screen in front of Marie, the image of Diara could be seen nodding.
"It is correct, Marie. The uranium on your right is the cause of creating the nuclear explosions.
It was the element that led to the death of our world. If you really want to prove its dangerousness you should be able to make an explosion on the moon because the earth has already suffered too much from the nuclear apocalypse.
Out of respect for this dying earth we do not believe that it is feasible to use another nuclear explosion on it, we do not want to repeat the mistakes of our predecessors.
15 kilograms of uranium 235 should be enough to create a nuclear fusion that generates an explosion, although if you plan to use that method, we would like to be able to observe the damage it causes on the moon.
It would be the first time in years that we could finally use our satellites, which are not very useful these days. "
Marie looked curiously at the uranium. "But I am also supposed to use plutonium to make a nuclear bomb.
What is the difference between the two? "
Diara smiled "It is easier to get Uranium 235 than plutonium, in nature it is only possible to get plutonium 244 in small quantities that are measured almost at the atomic level because plutonium loses two electrons and protons.
Which turns it into uranium just like uranium turns into Thorium when it ejects two protons.
In order to make an atomic bomb you have to use Plutonium 239, in theory you Miss Marie can ignore these limitations and create as much Plutonium as you want.
The only thing I am sure of is that you should avoid making too much plutonium 239 as it can generate an almost instantaneous fusion reaction.
Because it is constantly expelling electrons and protons so it can cause very high radiation creation or break critical mass to explode when enough Plutonium material merges.
Uranium bombs create controlled thermonuclear explosions but Plutonium atomic bombs only create loosely controlled atomic explosions that are of much lower intensity.
Perhaps it is a good thing for our scientific community that none of us here is a nuclear physicist who wants to create new weapons of mass destruction.
Otherwise, Miss Marie, I am sure you might end up becoming the true destroyer of worlds. "
When Marie heard that name she could simply smile because for some reason she imagined herself destroying worlds with her fingers.
But that thought only lasted a few seconds because he remembered the words of her father, so she changed the worlds that seemed to be living worlds to worlds without lives.
That way she wouldn't hurt anyone because there were only stones and dust in those places.
Diara, who was looking at Marie's face, could only frown and feel a little fear 'It would have been the right thing to have taught her about all the elements.'
When Marie stopped imagining her future she shook her head and began to analyze the two elements. It took about half an hour to understand the two variants of Uranium.
So in her hand he began to create the two versions of Uranium. When she had them in her hands, she could feel tickles because they were generating radiation.
As she had learned in the course of the weeks, they disappeared because it was dangerous to leave them in that place.
Leaving the tubes with uranium, she analyzed the plutonium, which was a less interesting white and silver color than uranium.
But even taking that into account, she analyzed it to her surprise; she realized that it was a little more complex than Uranium, so it took three hours until she could finally create the two versions of plutonium.
Something that she realized was that it was heavier than uranium at times, as the weight varied in a matter of temperature.
She also noticed that the more plutonium 239 he produced, the heat increased so that at some point she could feel a tickling sensation.
Diara, seeing this, used her microphone immediately "Miss Marie must quickly eliminate the Plutonium 239 because it is creating a release of radiation at this rate it will end up breaking its critical mass and an atomic explosion will occur."
Marie, who was quite interested in releasing energy from Plutonium, listened to Diara and removed the dangerous metal, so Diara sighed in joy.
Marie after this wiped her forehead and using her divine energy appeared a sandwich that she had saved to eat if she got hungry.
"Diara, since we just learned the elements I can go out and test if I can make a thermonuclear explosion on the moon."
Marie said as she bit into her chicken sandwich. Diara sighed and nuzzled her nose.
"Sure Marie, just remember to see Jhon because he will give you protective equipment that has cameras connected to the satellites.
That way we can see you at all times. You may not need to wear protection because you do not need it, but we believe it is the best.
I hope you can accept to wear the suit that we prepared for you with the materials that you could create.
Also remember to clean the radiation room there is so much radiation that just opening the door will kill us all. "
Marie showed her mayonnaise smile, so she used a napkin to wipe her mouth "I don't mind Diara at all, but I really want to be able to feel the space."
After finishing eating her sandwich, Marie got up from her chair and wiped out all possible radioactivity in the room.
For that, she concentrated it all on a green stone that she later made disappear.
When she left the room, she could see Jhon, still standing next to the door, taking care of Marie as always.
"Jhon, it's time I can go into space so I can test if I can make an enormous explosion using uranium 235."
Jhon looked at Marie with some doubt and bent down to stroke Marie's hair "Marie, I don't know what things you are learning, but you must remember that everything you do will have repercussions.
I will not tell you what to do because I have no power to make any changes. I am just a mortal.
But remember that no one can force you to take any action. Whatever you do will be entirely up to you.
If you can remember that you will avoid blaming someone for your own mistakes, that way you will be able to realize where you failed to change yourself. "
Marie smiled "Thanks for the advice brother Jhon, I will keep it in mind because papa Julien always told me something very similar."
After this, Jhon guided Marie to the room where the equipment that had been prepared for her should be.
