Out of all the storage units in the prison, the most valuable one was unit number seven, which Li Du had gotten his hands on.
However, it was not worth much. The prison was really stingy. When they were packing up the goods in the storage unit, they must have checked carefully and left behind anything valuable.
The situation in unit number seven was similar to unit number one. Li Du found something that he felt would be helpful to him. Similarly, these things could not be found in the market.
He followed Hans to the door of the storage unit. There was a table there, and there were traces of it being dismantled.
"What did you find in there?" Li Du asked curiously.
Hans smiled sheepishly. "Found my ass."
Then he changed the topic. "But I found these little things in the storage unit."
He pointed to a small leather box on the table. The leather box had a mottled color and looked very old. It was because the colors of the pattern had fallen off.
Li Du wanted to open it, but Hans stopped him and put on a serious expression. "No, no, bro, don't open it unless you want to expose yourself to danger."
Seeing him putting on an act, Li Du laughed and said, "What's inside? Is this a bomb suitcase? Look at you. "
He had noticed this box before. There was a big box in the storage unit, and it was full of such boxes. There were about ten of them.
The little bug had gone in to take a look. Li Du remembered that there were a bunch of small tools inside. There was also an instruction manual, which seemed to say that it was some kind of children's toy.
He knew that children's toys were not worth much, and second-hand toys were even more boring, so he did not pay too much attention to the things in the box.
Hans told him very seriously, "The things inside are more dangerous than a bomb!"
"What is it?" Li Du looked at him, puzzled. "Isn't this a children's toy box? Look, there are cartoon patterns on it. If these letters had not fallen off, they would have been put together to mean experimental toys, right? "
Hans looked at him in surprise. "Your eyesight is really good. It is indeed this thing, but the colors of the letters have fallen off. You can still read them?"
Li Du laughed and said, "Of course, my eyesight is good."
Hans said, "There are indeed children's toys inside, but they are not ordinary children's toys."
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, every country had very strict requirements for children's toys. From the toy's material to its appearance, there were restrictions in all aspects. Judging from the material alone, the material used to make children's toys must be non-toxic and harmless. Long-term contact with children's toys must not cause illness.
Hans introduced the general knowledge of these toys, then patted the small box and said, "This is an exception. This is probably the most dangerous children's toy in history. It was created in the US in 1950 and was only sold for a year. However, the sales were shocking and then it was banned."
"Why? What's inside? "Li Du's curiosity was piqued.
Hans said, "If you know the specific name of this toy, I think you can guess what's inside. It's called the Gilbert U-238 Nuclear Energy Laboratory."
Li Du's eyes widened. "Sh * t, this isn't making an atomic bomb, right?"
Hans laughed. "Of course not, but it's more or less the same. This toy has four radioactive uranium ores inside, real uranium ores. How about it? 49 dollars and 50 cents for a toy set, and you can buy uranium ores, don't you think it's worth it?"
As he spoke, he opened the small box.
Just as Li Du had predicted, this b * stard Hans liked to create a tense atmosphere.
However, the messy things in the box were indeed quite scary.
"Look, this is the Geiger Mueller counter, which is used to measure radioactivity. It's a toy here, isn't it awesome?
"This is the electroscope, which can measure the electric charge of an object. This is the scintillation mirror, which is even more awesome. It can observe radioactive decay!
"There's also the Wilson cloud chamber, which is used to observe the trajectory of particles. These four small stones are the main body of the toy box. Four uranium samples, alpha radioactive lead 210 and polonium 210, beta radioactive ruthenium 106, gamma radioactive zinc 65 …"
There were more than ten things in the small box. Hans introduced them one by one, in a very professional tone.
Li Du looked at him strangely and asked, "You seem to be very familiar with it?"
Hans nodded. "Of course. In fact, when I was young, I wanted to get a toy box like this, but unfortunately I couldn't get one."
Li Du picked up the toy's manual. The first page said, "High energy ahead, warning here! You are about to come into contact with the most mysterious and powerful toy in history! "
"This toy is very powerful," Hans explained. "It can produce amazing images. It allows people to directly see electrons and alpha particles moving in orbit at a speed of 10000 miles per second. It also allows people to see the images produced by electrons at high speed."
Li Du closed the box and said cautiously, "But it can also expose you to radiation. You're right, this thing is very dangerous. How can it be used as a toy?!"
"In fact, when this toy was introduced, it caused a big sensation. The media reported on it, and many families began to buy this set of toys. Do you know how much it cost at that time?"
"Forty-nine dollars and fifty cents."
Hans looked surprised. "How did you know?"
Li Du was depressed and said unhappily, "D * mn, are you stupid or what? You told me yourself just now. "
Hans laughed. "Oh, yes, yes, I told you. Oh no, my brain is not working well. Is it because of the radiation? Did I get Alzheimer's because of the radiation? "
Li Du waved his hand and said, "Your brain is made of tofu and dog sh * t. Not to mention uranium ore, even if an atomic bomb exploded in it, the radiation would not affect you."
A short exposure was nothing to adults, but when these toys entered families, they caused a lot of harm to children.
At that time, many children who had been exposed to these toys for a long time began to have nosebleeds, dizziness, and a series of other symptoms. People discovered the problem, and the toy factory recalled the toys and shut down the production line a year later.
No one could say how much harm these toys caused to families at that time. As the radiation was delayed, after many years, as the children who had been exposed to the toys grew old, they began to develop cancer.
It was difficult to say whether their cancer had anything to do with these toys.
In history, this had led to a huge lawsuit. Many families joined forces to sue the Gilbert toy factory, asking for compensation.
But that was in the seventies and eighties. At that time, people's understanding of radioactive substances was limited, and they did not realize these problems.
