...factory and tried every short cut he could think of. First step was pouring a solution of uranium salt and other chemicals into a battery of wooden washtubs on the roof. There the photochemical action of the ultraviolet rays in sunlight (on cloudy days, sun lamps) converted the transparent liquid into green, powdery potassium uranium fluoride. The second step: melting this secondary uranium salt in graphite cups for electrolytic separation of the pure metal. The electrodes were raised and lowered by automobile jacks. The final step was simple melting and casting...
...diving suits equipped with two oxygen tanks, submarine-type air cleansing devices, tubes for liquid food, the fukuryus could operate in deep water (most effectively at 50 feet), walk under water more than a mile an hour, stay under about ten hours. Each carried at the end of a stick a ten-kilogram explosive charge with contact fuse. A floating chamber behind the charge made it easy to handle. The fukuryus, organized in squads and platoons, were to wait till a vessel passed overhead, then ram the mine into the ship's bottom. They were to be protected from...
...with red liquid that looks like blood. And people
...From under the roof of my umbrella I saw the washed pavement lapsing beneath my feet, the news-posters lying smeared with dirt at the crossings, the tracks of the busses in the liquid mud. On I went through this dreary world of wetness. And through what long perspectives of the years shall I still hurry down wet streets-middle-aged, and then, perhaps, very old? And on what errands...
Like light, the ultrashort radio waves used in radar can be focused in a beam, are reflected by solid or liquid surfaces, travel with the same speed as light (186,000 miles a second). But for "seeing" distant objects, radio waves have a great advantage over light: they penetrate fog, clouds and smoke, reach out to far greater distances than the naked eye. And unlike light, radio impulses can easily be controlled to give an exact, automatic measurement of the distance to the detected object...
