Chapter 298: Building an Atomic Bomb in Four Years (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
What Hitler wanted to hear most was that a nuclear bomb would be made tomorrow, and if it really didn't work, then next year would do it, and now, the result from Heisenberg is a hundred years!
What are you kidding, Hitler won't live for a hundred years, so what's the use of investing now?
"Dr. Heisenberg, there must be some kind of problem, right? Say it, our empire, will do everything we can to solve it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info," said Ciric.
Heisenberg looked at him gratefully and continued: "This nuclear reactor of ours is just a small experimental reactor, and it burns too slowly. ”
"Then let's continue to build large nuclear reactors." Ciric continued: "Don't worry, the Empire definitely supports this plan, and funding is not a problem. ”
"General Shirek, we can build a larger nuclear reactor, so that the electricity generated is enough for domestic research purposes, but the problem now is that we can't buy enough uranium ore, and if we buy a lot of uranium ore in the international market, it will attract the alarm of other scientists."
Germany has not yet discovered uranium ore, this ore is imported from the outside world, in the world, the best uranium ore is the uranium mine in the Congo! The largest uranium mines in Europe are located in the Czech Republic.
Now, hearing Heisenberg's words, Ciric shook his head: "Dr. Heisenberg, if it's a problem with uranium ore, then we can start building a larger nuclear reactor right now." We can get enough uranium ore from the Czech Republic at any time, although the quality is not as good as that of the Congo, but it is also sufficient. ”
Ready to get it from the Czech Republic? Heisenberg immediately reacted: "We have already occupied the Czech Republic? ”
The technicians present were excited, while Hitler nodded in satisfaction.
The scientists who arrived here in the latest issue also arrived half a year ago, and they only know that the relationship with the Czech Republic is tense, and they do not know that the Czech Republic has been annexed.
Unlike the oil base, there is no radio here, and it is completely isolated from the rest of the world.
"Okay, then we need to continue to allocate 500 million marks to build larger nuclear reactors." Heisenberg said.
The construction of nuclear reactors is quite resource-intensive, especially in Libya, where all materials need to be transported from Germany, which is even more expensive.
Hearing 500 million marks, Hitler first frowned, and then agreed, after all, if this kind of bomb can be made, it will definitely be a big killer!
"With this new reactor, will we be able to build an atomic bomb in a few years?" Hitler continued.
Hitler valued scientists very much, they were the precious treasures of the Reich, and Hitler never put scientists in prison to do research like Stalin.
However, the innumerable resources of the Reich were spent, and Hitler would never have been satisfied if he had not achieved satisfactory results.
So Heisenberg was silent again.
He needs Ciric to solve the siege, in fact, while building nuclear reactors and constantly burning raw materials to produce nuclear weapons, they are also conducting theoretical research on nuclear weapons, but the results are shocking.
Looking at Heisenberg's silence, Ciric suddenly remembered the scientific anecdotes of later generations, in the development of the atomic bomb, Heisenberg took a lot of detours, and now, it is up to him to break the final key!
"Great Führer, all of you present, I am reminded of a well-known problem, called drunken walking." "How much radius will a drunken wander in the square and turn back 80 times?" ”
Ciric's words made Heisenberg instantly have a fire of hope in his eyes, General Ciric is simply a god, what he is talking about now is a big problem he is facing!
To produce a chain reaction, it is necessary to let the neutrons hit the nucleus, which is a small probability, and the space inside the atom is empty. Then there is only one way, increase the mass of the reactants, so that the reaction of a uranium nucleus can be guaranteed to continue to occur at least eighty times!
In this case, you need a lot of volume!
How big? Heisenberg calculated several times, and the conclusion was that it was devastating, 54 centimeters, which is equivalent to 13 tons of uranium-235, or similar plutonium-239, even if you build a huge nuclear reactor, it is very difficult to make so many reactors, at least, it will not be possible in more than ten years.
Hitler was able to ask questions for a few years, and he was already very patient.
Now, is there a way for Ciric to solve it?
"If no one interferes, then the radius of the drunkard's movement is very large, but if someone interferes, then the order of magnitude may be greatly reduced."
After speaking, Ciric's eyes looked at Heisenberg: "Dr. Heisenberg, have you ever thought that you can cover the outside of nuclear materials with a neutron reflection layer, so that all the neutrons generated by the reaction will continue to be reflected back and continue to participate in the fission reaction?" ”
The critical mass of the nuclear bomb is a very important figure, Heisenberg calculated a surprising figure of 13 tons, and even after the defeat of Germany and the successful dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima by the United States, Heisenberg did not believe it.
"I don't believe the news of this atomic bomb at all, and of course I could be wrong. I thought they (the allies) might have 10 tons of rich uranium, but I didn't expect them to have 10 tons of pure uranium-235! ”
Later, Heisenberg learned from the newspaper that the actual weight of the bomb was 200 kilograms, and the core explosives were only a few thousand grams. He looked agitated, wondering where his estimation was wrong.
Now that Ciric has woken him up, he doesn't need that much at all, use all the neutrons and add a reflective layer!
Like a cool breeze in the hot afternoon, Heisenberg suddenly realized that he had found the right plan!
"Führer, if we build a large reactor now, we can generate enough nuclear materials within two years!" Heisenberg said: "And then in two years, nuclear weapons will be created!" ”
Within four years, this weapon will be completely built! Now Heisenberg is full of confidence.
It's 38 years now, and in four years, it's 42 years, and if the atomic bomb can be hammered out in 42 years, then the entire history of World War II will definitely be rewritten!
Surrender or not? If you don't surrender, I'll plant mushrooms for you!
"Okay, that's four years." Hitler said: "I hope you don't let us down, this is the secret weapon of the Reich!" Now, let's talk about how the missiles are going. ”
