Chapter 1095 1094. Interesting Gadgets (35)

Of the series of warehouses in the prison, the one with real value is the No. 7 warehouse, which was acquired by Li Du.

However, this value is not how much money, the prison is really hard-headed. When they packed the warehouse goods, they must have checked carefully, and the valuable things were left behind.

The situation in No. 7 warehouse was similar to that of No. 1. Li Du found some things in it that he thought were helpful to him. Similarly, these things could not be found in the market.

He followed Hans to the door of the warehouse, where a table was placed, and the edge of the table showed signs of being removed.

"What did you find inside?" Li Du asked curiously.

Hans sneered and said, "Find a fart."

Then, he changed the topic: "However, I found these gadgets in the warehouse."

He pointed to the table, and there was a small suitcase on it. The leather suitcase was mottled in color, which had a sense of vicissitudes of time. It was because the color of the pattern had fallen off, and it was finally formed like this.

Li Du wanted to go up and open it, but Hans held him down and put on a serious expression: "No, brother, don't open him, unless you want to expose yourself to danger."

Seeing him pretending, Li Du laughed and said, "What's in it? Is this a bomb suitcase? Look at you."

He had noticed this box before. There was a big box in the warehouse, which was full of such boxes, and there were probably more than a dozen of them.

Little Flying Insect went in and looked at it. Li Du remembered that there were a bunch of messy gadgets inside. At the same time, there was an instruction manual, which seemed to say that it was some kind of children's toy.

He knew that children's toys were worthless, and second-hand toys were even less interesting, so he didn't pay too much attention to the contents of this box.

Hans told him seriously: "The things inside are more dangerous than hand bombs!"

"What exactly is it?" Li Du looked at him wonderingly, "Isn't this a children's toy box? Look, there are cartoon patterns on it. If these letters don't fall off, they mean experimental toys, right? "

Hans glanced at him in surprise: "Your eyesight is really good, it is indeed this thing, but the color of the letters has fallen like this, can you still see it clearly?"

Li Du laughed and said, "Of course, I have good eyesight."

Hans said: "It is indeed a children's toy inside, but it is not an ordinary children's toy."

Children's toys must put safety and health first, because children are the next generation of the country and the nation, and they must be well protected.

Nowadays, various countries have very strict requirements on children's toys, from the materials of toys to the danger of appearance. From the perspective of materials alone, the materials used to make children's toys must be non-toxic and harmless, and long-term exposure cannot cause disease.

Hans introduced the common sense of these toys, then patted the small box and said: "This is an exception. This may be the most dangerous children's toy in history. It was made in the United States in 1950. It was only sold for one year, but the sales volume was amazing at that time, and then it was sold. Outlawed."

"Why? What's inside?" Li Du became curious.

Hans said: "If you know the specific name of this toy, I think you can guess what's inside. It's called Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory."

Li Du's eyes straightened: "Shit, isn't this the one who made the atomic bomb?"

Hans laughed: "Of course not, but it's about the same. There are 4 pieces of radioactive uranium ore in this toy, the real uranium ore. How about it? You can buy uranium ore for 49 yuan and 5 sets of toys, yes Don’t you think it’s worth the money?”

While speaking, he opened the small box.

As Li Du judged before, Hans, the bastard, likes to create tension.

However, the mess in the box is really scary:

"Look, it's a Geiger-Müller counter, the thing that measures radioactivity, and it's a toy here, isn't it?"

"This is an electroscope, which can measure the charge of an object; this is a scintillation mirror, which is more powerful, and it can observe radioactive decay!"

"There is also the Wilson cloud chamber, which is used to observe particle trajectories. These four small stones are the main body of the toy box, four uranium ore specimens, the alpha radioactive source lead 210 and polonium 210, the beta radioactive source ruthenium 106, and the gamma radioactive source zinc 65 ..."

There are a total of ten kinds of things in the small box, and Hans introduced them one by one in a very professional tone.

Li Du looked at him strangely and asked, "You seem to be familiar with it?"

Hans nodded and said, "Of course, in fact, when I was a teenager, I wanted to get a toy box like this, but unfortunately I couldn't get it."

Li Du picked up the toy manual, and the first page read: "High energy ahead, alert here! You will come into contact with the most mysterious and powerful toy in history!"

"This toy is amazing, it can create an amazing sight, it can visually see electrons and alpha particles moving in orbit at 10,000 miles per second, and it can also make people see electrons at high speed The resulting image." Hans introduced.

Li Du closed the box and said cautiously: "But it can also expose you to radiation. You are right, this thing is very dangerous, and it can actually be a toy?!"

"In fact, when this toy was launched, it caused quite a stir, and the media reported and publicized it. Many families began to buy this toy. Do you know how much it cost at that time?"

"Forty-nine dollars and a half."

Hans looked surprised: "How do you know?"

Li Du was depressed, and said angrily: "Made, are you stupid or what? You told me just now."

Hans sneered: "Uh, yes, I told you. It's over, my brain is not working well, is it because of the radiation? Did I become dementia from the radiation?"

Li Du waved his hand and said, "Your brain is made of tofu slag mixed with dog shit, not to mention uranium ore, even if an atomic bomb explodes inside, the radiation produced will not affect you."

Brief contact is nothing to adults, but when these toys entered the family at that time, they caused great harm to children.

At that time, many children began to experience a series of conditions such as nosebleeds and dizziness after being exposed to this toy for a long time. When people discovered the problem, the toy factory recalled the toy and closed the production line a year later.

No one can say how much damage these toys caused to the family at the time, because the radiation is delayed, and after many years, as the children who were exposed to the toys got old, they began to develop cancer.

It's hard to say whether their cancer has something to do with these toys.

This has led to a large-scale lawsuit in history, and many families joined forces to sue Gilbert Toy Factory for compensation.

But that was already in the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, people had limited understanding of radioactive substances and did not realize these problems.
