Chapter 97 Radiated Toothpaste
Queenie took out a tin tube from her storage bracelet and a dark brown glass bottle and placed it on the table.
"This is Mosacher's latest product. It contains radium. The radiation of uranium is too low and it is not very popular. I also think this is quite strange. I don't know how the effect is. When I came, I bought two and brought them with me."
Jia suddenly stepped back a little, but still felt uneasy. He couldn't help but release another radiation-proof shield in front of him, and then he felt a little more at ease.
"What are these things? Have you used them?" He was anxious and even his accent came out.
Seeing his appearance, Queenie was a little funny and puzzled: "No need to do this, right? I asked the teacher, and she said that although the radiation of radium is strong, its penetration is very weak. Even if there is only one layer of clothes, it can block most of the rays. You are one of the first people to study radiation, and you should be familiar with this. I have never used these things. I am a mage, and these are of no use to me."
Kaichi slowly calmed down and understood that what Quinny said was the fact that there are three types of radiation from radioactive elements, alpha, beta and gamma. Among them, alpha and beta are helium nuclei and electron flow, with poor penetration and even blocked by healthy skin. Only gamma rays are the most harmful.
Therefore, the Hulk is mutated by gamma rays, and a gamma knife is also used to treat cancer.
The most common decay of radium element in vitro is the first two rays, which have a much smaller impact on the human body. If there is no long-term high-dose contact, the harm will not be as great as imagined.
But looking at the two products that Queenie brings, they don’t look like external products.
"This is for brushing teeth. It contains radium, which is said to kill bacteria and keep teeth healthy. The bottle is made of radium-added tonic, which is said to be rejuvenating."
"It is used to brush your teeth, and there are also tonics for internal treatment." Jia Yi felt chills and unexpectedly saw toothpaste containing radiation.
If these things are not exposed to internal organs or mouth, they are weak parts of the human body and lack skin protection. This is to think that people are not dying fast enough. This is indeed able to protect teeth, but it is a bit useless. After all, if people die, they will use less teeth, so they will probably be slower to break.
As for the radium-containing tonic, do you want to recharge yourself through radiation? Thinking that you are Godzilla.
To revitalize yourself, find a way to find a way to get the Spring of Life from the Elf Island. Isn’t it good to ask for a little moon spring? This is much more reliable than any radium tonic.
"What do you think? How should radium be revitalized?"
"Maybe it is because radium can emit fluorescence?" Queenie said as she almost laughed. "The radioactive elements have become too popular recently. The discovery of protons and the mystery of atomic nuclei have been slowly revealed. More and more mages have begun to pay attention to atomic nuclei, which has gradually affected ordinary people. Perhaps it is because of this that they think that radiation is a good thing. Now, as long as products with radium are added, they will sell much better."
Compared with magic materials, although radium is rare, it is not too expensive as an ordinary material. In addition, many mages extract a lot of radium for experiments, making it not difficult for them to buy radium on the market.
The hot sales of radium products are actually related to Jiayi. Jiayi and Yanxi's studios led a trend, especially the emergence of magic lathes, which greatly improved production efficiency. All those involved made a lot of money, greatly stimulating the prosperity of the market.
When capital is released, neither the vested interests nor the greedy people will be satisfied with the status quo. Slowly, various new products have begun to appear, including some making money and some losing money, but the market is becoming more and more prosperous. Especially Mosacher, in just a few years, it is like a place that has changed, with almost doubled its population, and the urban area has expanded a lot.
A large number of magical industries brought a large number of workers. Some of these workers could no longer survive in other places, so they were brought by merchants from all over the country as laborers, and many were almost bought as slaves. Although Mosacher banned the slave trade, the original capitalists used various means to avoid it, but only changed their name.
Even with parliament pressing on it, the lives of the lower-class workers are still very difficult, and many people can even barely make a living after working for a long time. But at the same time, a large number of middle-class people have emerged, and more and more people have purchasing power.
At this node, radium appeared, just like the hot spot in the Internet market. It was popular with the support of original capital and instantly began to become popular, and radiation-containing products became hot spots for a while.
The radiation at this time is not something that people cannot avoid even the base stations need to be destroyed. Instead, it is considered a universal material, which can be added to almost everything and then greatly increase the price.
Just like graphene and nanometers, no matter whether they are useful or not, these high-tech words sound like they are all piled up in them. Mosacher's merchants are so bad that they are too honest and they really add radiation raw materials to them. They even dislike the radiation of uranium is not obvious enough, so they are only willing to add radium to them.
Jia Yi brought a pair of crocodile-skin gloves, picked up the tube that Queenie said to use to brush her teeth, unscrew the lid and squeezed it out a little bit. The container outside was actually made of lead, and the contents squeezed out were delicate paste, which was really toothpaste. In the past, the popular tooth powder was the first time I saw toothpaste.
The lead cover blocks the radiation inside the toothpaste very well, and the danger is much smaller than what Kaichi imagines. But as soon as the toothpaste is squeezed out, the radiation instantly becomes larger, making Kaichi's hair stand up.
Because of the publicity in his previous life, he was a little sensitive to radiation. For example, Queenie had no response to toothpaste and sudden rising radiation. It was also related to Jiayi's atomic structure solidified when he cognitively cured, and he had a more sensitive perception of radiation.
"Does the parliament care? Radiation is so dangerous, it is not good for ordinary people to contact? Fortunately, the lead tube has a strong shielding effect on radiation."
"Is radiation really so dangerous? They use lead tubes not to prevent radiation from affecting others, but to avoid people who have not bought them from being sucked by radiation in vain." Seeing Jiayi's appearance of being cautious about radiation, Queenie was also a little surprised, "I think the teacher and the others are not so cautious, are you too careful?"
Jia Yi was speechless for a while. The reason for using lead is to avoid free sex? Perhaps there are some reasons why lead is easier to process. But this toothpaste is lead and radiation. Is it okay for the person to use it?
Because natural radioactivity is mostly a flow of electrons and helium atoms, the harm is indeed more easily overlooked, especially when outside the body. The impact of radiation on the human body is long-term and not significant in a short period of time. Although products such as radiation toothpaste have added radium, it is impossible to add too much. As a newly discovered substance, although not a magic element, radium is extracted using a magic array, and the cost is not low.
These have affected the hazards of radioactive substances and were discovered, especially for mages, because they are infected and eroded by magical elements all year round, and they are more resistant to radiation.
"No, radioactive substances are more dangerous than you think. This kind of thing should not be touched by ordinary people." Seeing that Queenie was a little skeptical, "Why do we do an experiment, the experiment is always more convincing."
Queenie nodded immediately and agreed that as the authority of thermodynamics, energy and atomics, Jiayi was one of the first to discover radiation, although it was no legendary than Magni, and she still had a strong voice.
The two immediately issued a mission through the Traveler Guard and purchased a batch of small animals.
Although the Traveler Guards are busy now, they immediately spent a lot of effort to execute Jiayi's commission. Jiayi's commission was a bit weird, but it was not difficult, let alone the reward was very satisfactory.
In the eyes of outsiders, if a mage is not weird, it is no longer called a mage.
