The 318 Institute is the biggest secret of the expeditionary force in Burma, except for these people in front of them, no one knows about its existence at all, and even these soldiers guarding it do not know what it is doing and what kind of unit it is.

In fact, the 318 Scientific Research Institute is related to nuclear weapons, and the information collected by Leng Ruxue in the United States was sent here as soon as possible.

And the Dr. Qian that the colonel just said is actually my country's future father of two bombs and one star - Qian Xuesen.

No one knows what means Jiang Haoran used to get Dr. Qian, who was supposed to be an assistant professor at the California Institute of Technology in the United States, here.

And here, there is far more than such a leading figure in the scientific community, the same as China's two bombs and one star of the nuclear physics expert Qian Sanqiang, mathematician Hua Luogeng, geologist Li Xianguang and other scientific and technological elites of this period can be found here.

Even the famous Soviet physicist and Nobel laureate in physics Igor Tamm is among them, and there are countless other scientific and technological elites from various countries who are unknown in front of them but shine in later history.

Although the development of nuclear weapons is a long process, and the immediate conditions may not be met at all, Jiang Haoran has been preparing for a rainy day and has been silently preparing.

Because he knows that the country's prosperity and the take-off of science and technology is the key.

Entering the cave, a heavy steel gate slowly opened from both sides, and the scenery in front of it suddenly opened up.

The huge hall is brightly lit, rows of offices are lined up in a semicircle along the hall, and scientific researchers in white coats and of various skin colors shuttle in an orderly manner.

The colonel and Jiang Haoran and his entourage stopped in front of one of the doors, knocked on the door first, and then gently pushed it open, and a group of white coats were judging around a pile of stones.

Hearing the knock on the door, the people in the house looked sideways, and when they saw Jiang Haoran and his party at the door, everyone hurriedly walked out, and the leader was in his thirties, and it was Dr. Qian.

"Boss, you're here!" Dr. Qian stretched out his right hand and smiled at Jiang Haoran.

The word "general seat" has long been Jiang Haoran's exclusive term, and the generals from the original national officer to the commander can be called "general seat", but after Jiang Haoran took the position, others began to take the initiative to avoid it.

"Hello Dr. Money!"

Jiang Haoran stepped forward quickly, shook hands with everyone one by one and said hello, his expression was warm and natural, and it was not the first time he had met at first glance.

After some greetings, Jiang Haoran smiled and said, "I just saw everyone happy, is there anything happy about it?" ”

Dr. Qian smiled: "It's true, Brother Zhong Gong (Li Xianguangzi) has found a new uranium mine, which is better than the quality we found before. ”

To make atoms and bombs, the first task is to find uranium, then mine and process it, and finally enrich uranium-235.

To meet the requirements of designing and manufacturing nuclear weapons, complex and accurate theoretical calculations and experimental research are also needed, even if they have collected first-hand information in this regard, and Jiang Haoran has provided them with all the talents, materials, and scientific research institutes they need, but there is still a long way to go in the experiment, verification, and production process.

Finding uranium ore is not exciting good news for Jiang Haoran, he only cares about the results, and after echoing their "surprises", he said: "Dr. Qian, according to the current progress, how long do you think we can produce nuclear weapons?" ”

Dr. Qian thought for a moment and said, "Within three years, yes, it will definitely work within three years." ”

Dr. Qian was full of confidence, but Jiang Haoran sighed in his heart, and his dream of throwing nuclear weapons on the head of the little devil before the United States was completely shattered.

Originally, he thought that with the mature technology of the United States, this process could be greatly shortened, but he ignored one of the biggest problems, these experts in front of him are still very young, and they can only be said to be emerging academically, how can they be compared with Oppenheimer and Einstein?

Jiang Haoran nodded, and after a few seconds of silence, he said,

Dr. Qian, do you think it is possible to use uranium to produce a weapon similar to the nuclear weapons of the United States in the shortest possible time, with less explosive power, but like that? ”

Dr. Qian frowned, thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "It's almost impossible, this kind of material is not well mastered, and it may be us from the scientific research institute who will die first, so it is difficult to achieve it quickly." ”

The last glimmer of hope was dashed, and Jiang Haoran was a little frustrated.

At this time, Qian Sanqiang on the side said: "Boss, I have a plan to produce an artillery shell in the shortest time, which is definitely much more powerful than conventional artillery shells, but there is still a long way to go compared with nuclear weapons." ”

"Oh, tell me." Jiang Haoran suddenly became interested.

Qian Sanqiang said: "It is to use liquid hydrocarbons that are easy to vaporize, such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, methyl acetylene and propylene two explosions, to make a kind of *, when thrown or launched into the target air, the liquid fuel is scattered to the ground together with the detonator tube and timer, and the fuel will quickly vaporize into a mist and disperse in the air, and after a predetermined delay time, it will be detonated by the lightning tube to produce a powerful explosion." Since they almost deplete the oxygen in the air near them when they explode, people in this range will suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen, even if they are not destroyed by the powerful shock wave and heat wave, which is definitely not small. ”

Jiang Haoran's expression froze, and he said hurriedly: "You are talking about fuel-air bombs?" ”

"Fuel-air bombs? Right, that's a fitting name? ”

In this era, there is no such thing as an air bomb, in fact, Jiang Haoran does not have this concept, and he doesn't know how the air bomb is made at all, but after all, he is a military fan from later generations, and he knows the existence of fuel air bombs.

Fuel-air bombs are actually cloudburst bombs known as sub-nuclear weapons, which were first used by the Mi Army in the Vietnam War, and a fuel-air bomb of several tens of kilograms can produce a large crater with a diameter of 10 meters and a depth of 5 or 6 meters, which can cause no people and animals within a radius of several hundred meters, and the power is very amazing.

The key is that it can also be made into a man-portable weapon, which does not occupy the troop establishment, just like the grenade carried by the soldier, its packaging box is the launch canister, and even the sights are plastic, which can be used out of the box and thrown away after use.

It can be used not only to kill people in a large area and destroy unprotected weapons, such as people on the ground and hiding in ordinary fortifications or civilian houses, aircraft on the tarmac, exposed*, radar and radio antennas, etc.; It can also be used for large-scale mine clearance, to open up passages for troops, or to clear the ground before helicopter landing, to clear obstacles for the landing of marines, etc., the benefits are so many that you don't want to do it, and it is definitely a magic weapon.
