The Gadget
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. - J Robert Oppenheimer
Background
Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear device. It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The test was conducted in the "Jornada del Muerto" desert about 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what was then the USAAF Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, now part of White Sands Missile Range. The only structures originally in the vicinity were the McDonald Ranch House and its ancillary buildings, which scientists used as a laboratory for testing bomb components. A base camp was constructed, and there were 425 people present on the weekend of the test.
Crafting
The bomb itself must be crafted in an assembly machine with the following recipe:
Fission Components
To arm the device for fission, you'll require 4 bundles of first-generation implosion propellant:
The wiring to link all the implosion propellant together:
And the large plutonium core itself, that will carry out the necessary fission:
Detonating
To construct and arm the bomb, place the Gadget down in your intended target zone. Then, place the required items in the matching slots, as shown in the diagram to the right. Once you've constructed the bomb, a detonator can be used to trigger the bomb. Make sure you're at a safe distance before detonating!
If you're having trouble understanding any of these steps, you can give yourself the Gadget Kit in creative mode to be given all the required items. You can use these items to practice constructing the bomb.
