The Naughty Genius

Thermite Reaction

Thirty minutes later both teams returned to the stage to listen to the results of the discussion whether they get the opportunity or all will end in failure only.

"Alright, we have made a deal that you will not get the opportunity to make a percentage" said Yosi's mother.

Everyone was surprised by the results of the deal that did not match what was expected.  Alisya still put on a calm face in the pull of Adith's lips half-smiling mendegar it. While Miska looked riled up and Zein could not take her eyes off Alisya's face.

"But we will give you a test of the extent to which you have mastered your material materials to see if it is indeed a coincidence or there is a conspiracy in it" added Mr. Amir in a cold tone.

"We hope you don't disappoint us" Affandi said softly.

Miska's face immediately turned into spirit and revealed a smile that looked cynical with a sharp gaze leading to Alisya who preferred to throw away the face of not seeing both.

"I'll start with Team Zein, what chose you guys to take on this theme? " Yosi's mother started the test with a simple question.

"As you know, the theme of our percentage is the Termit Reaction. This reaction is commonly used as a metal welding with Ironoxide material and Aluminum powder that can produce quite high heat." Answer Miska smoothly and loudly.

"In addition to this thermite reaction, our plan will simulate as an example of welding that is commonly done daily by workshop workers,  buildings and fence furniture and also simulated the recent eruption of Mount Merapi". Add steady Zein.

Mr. Amir and 3 other judges considered that the percentage material they displayed was quite interesting so they seemed to nod their faces in agreement considering this era is an era where everything has been related to the machine as well the creation of goods using iron, metal and aluminum has carried out the Thermit reaction process as a basic step that many people know only as a regular welding process.

"What about your Team Adith??? What chose you to take on the same theme? " Task Mr. Amir coldly.

"We basically take the same principle of working on thermite reactions as you've heard before. But our point of discussion is more towards thermite reactions that can produce

pretty high explosive power." Alisya answered calmly and smoothly looked at Adith to continue.

"Termitic reactions when ignited will produce heat on a scale of more than 3000 degrees Celsius. And the temperature exceeds the boiling point and melting point of iron or concrete.  Which if reacted with water will produce phreatic explosions like those that occur in volcanic eruptions. It is similar to the type

The bomb that exploded on the Indonesian government building that just happened last month.on investigation it is said that on the explosion detected a thermite reaction." Adith said, adding shrewdly and looking like a pro in making a percentage.

"It's no wonder that at this age he already holds his family business! he is indeed extraordinary" Inner Alisya was amazed by Adith's ability.

Hearing the answers from the two teams that are much different, Mr. Amir began to improve his sitting position to further forward signifying that he was interested and curious about what could be said by the next two teams.

All participants also felt amazed by the technique of presenting a presentation delivered by both teams so enthusiastically paying attention to what will happen next in this competition.

Hearing the Competition in this percentage, the principal and the school officials are not left behind to be able to witness this rare event even more involving the 2 phenomenal figures of the highest elite members of the school.

"At welding bioxidation and Aluminum will be burned at a temperature high enough to melt the metal which can then be used as a very strong connection to the

iron or other metals.  But this reaction is quite dangerous and produces a beam that is quite blinding so it needs special handling when doing welding activities." Miska shows welding procedures directly and seems expert in doing so. The equipment seemed ready to support the presentation he did.

"In the process of volcanic eruption, all the material contained in an active volcano has the same type to produce a thermite reaction. and the explosion that occurs at the time of the eruption is due to the presence of water from inside the mountain that reacts to the thermite reaction

with the explosion of the fraction as has just happened in the volcanic eruption that has just occurred on Mount Sumeru" Zein also displays a direct simulation of how the process of volcanic eruptions due to thermite reactions and of course with a fairly safe distance and the use of materials that fit so harmless.

Mr. Affandi is very impressed with the way they display the percentage and with the ability for him to be done by a professional enough in his field.

Miska shows a satisfied view that they are superior in bringing the percentage this time. The participants and also other spectators also gave a standing ovation to the results of the presentation made by Zein and Miska.

"For both of you!" mr. Amir pointed towards Adith and Alisya. "How can you say that the bomb used a thermite reaction? " Challenge Mr. Amir is still cold.

"Before I explain more about Bomb with thermite adhesive, you need to know that the Indonesian government building has a pillar of buffer with a building frame 4 times thicker than ordinary building so it is called a super pillar because of its strength.  And not just any ordinary bomb can destroy it.  This can be seen from the ruins of the building when I did research there" said Alisya showed pictures of the ruins of the Indonesian Government building.

"Does that mean that the bomb that was detonated is not an ordinary bomb?" Mr. Amir could not bear to ask again to see the ability of Analysis Alisya that beat the police research experts.

"As I have explained before, it is due to a thermite reaction that melts iron or concrete in the building. When the explosion occurs, water from the sprinklepun out and cause phreatic explosions similar to those in volcanic eruptions, so that the pillars are not able to support the load of the building and finally the building collapsed.  This substance is actually easier to get than gunpowder and commonly sold in this area. " Adith also showed a video simulator of how the building collapsed due to a bomb explosion using thermite reactions and also a map of the purchase of the substance.

"Seeing from the approximate location, based on the evidence left behind, the purchase of the material revolves around this area considering that the perpetrators recorded cctv is only on foot and does not use public transportation to avoid Identity tracking" Add Alisya before ending his presentation.

mr. Amir was silent and fixated on the answers given by both of them.not only did they manage to do a very good percentage, they could even have helped the police with their analysis which is fairly accurate. A senior official has quietly contacted the police after Adith began her analysis to check the truth.

the three jurors and all the people inside the building were still silent not knowing what to say.  they're still talking and digesting how two high schoolers can analyze and solve problems that even the police have not solved.

A high-ranking official came down to the stage and greeted Adith and Alisya with a loud voice.

"Thanks to you two, we have managed to capture the bomber and detect the location of the next Bomb!  for that you will be given an award as well as this school" he said while greeting Adith and Alisya.

Hearing that everyone immediately shouted with a roar and clapped loudly.The sudden atmosphere was noisier than before making Alisya's silencer not work properly. He immediately asked for permission to get off the stage after saluting the higher-ups.

Seeing Alisya's reaction, Adith immediately chased after him while the official returned to his original position and spoke to the principal. Adith and Alisya left all the crowd feeling Weird because of the stars

the show suddenly disappeared.  So do the judges who see each other.
