Smooth, fast and comfortable, the Fokker 42 flew over the blue Mediterranean, over the coastline of North Africa, and over the golden sandy sea for about two hours before landing on the runway of a large, heavily guarded airport near a small oasis in the Sahara Desert.

When the door of the plane opened, Hersman, who had already changed into a desert uniform, felt an unbearable heat rush in. The Sahara Desert near the equator is very sunny, and daytime temperatures are usually around 35 degrees Celsius in June, making it feel like heysman is in a furnace for Hessman, who is used to the cold climate.

"Ludwig, I've finally waited for you!"

The head of the U Engineering Committee, Chloe's early college teacher and former boss of Hersman, Carl Brown. General Haushofer saw Hersman step off the plane and hurriedly greeted him.

"General," Hersman asked with a smile as he shook hands with Haushofer, "are you ready?" He looked at the crowd again, but didn't notice Dr. Heisenberg, "What about Dr. Heisenberg?" ”

"Final preparations are underway!" Haushofer replied with a smile, "Dr. Heisenberg is personally supervising the assembly of the device, and the test explosion will definitely be carried out tomorrow morning as planned." ”

The two Heisenberg devices were transported to the nuclear test site in the Vargra Oasis for various tests as early as mid-May. However, there was no charge in either device - that is, no weapons-grade plutonium-239 was placed.

Weapons-grade plutonium-239 is the most valuable strategic material in the hands of the Wehrmacht, which is stored in bunkers in the Austrian Alps and guarded by a Wehrmacht mountain division.

And for today's test explosion, 40 kilograms of plutonium-239 with an abundance of 93% were secretly delivered to the Vargra Oasis on May 28, 29, 30 and 31 in four batches loaded by Fokker 42 transport aircraft.

According to theoretical calculations, this 40 kg of weapons-grade plutonium-239 is enough to make 4-6 atomic bombs with a yield of about 20,000 tons. However, the Heisenberg device was only a rudimentary atomic bomb, and its technical level was limited, so it was impossible to jam the critical charge, otherwise it was very likely that it would not explode. Therefore, the scientists of the U Engineering Committee adopted the method of adding more insurance coefficients, and 40 kilograms of weapons-grade plutonium-239 were added to the Heisenberg device used for test explosions. Today is the day when 40 kilograms of weapons-grade plutonium-239, processed into a special shape, will be loaded into the Heisenberg device.

According to the charge standard of the Heisenberg device, Germany could have a maximum of 3 atomic bombs with plutonium-239 (including the Heisenberg device for testing) in 1944. According to the plan, by the end of 1945 it was possible to increase the storage of weapons-grade plutonium-239 to the capacity of 8 Heisenberg devices (including those for test explosions). By 1946, with new, larger and more advanced production reactors ready for operation, the plutonium-239 stockpile would be significantly increased, enough for Germany to produce about 30 atomic bombs. And by 1947...... The plutonium-239 owned by Germany will be able to assemble more than 60 atomic bombs!

In other words, by 1947 at the latest, Germany would have enough atomic bombs to bomb an industrial power with a territory of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers into an agrarian country.

For safety reasons, the final assembly of the Heisenberg device was not at the base in the Vargra Oasis, but in a makeshift assembly hall near the Vargra nuclear test site, 20 kilometers away. Once all the charges have been placed into the device, the 4-ton Heisenberg device is placed on a tower tens of meters high to be detonated.

Around the tower, there is a town built to true proportions and materials, with trenches, bunkers, and a small amount of large weaponry. These were used to test the explosive power of the Heisenberg device.

By the time Hersman and the others arrived on the plane, several skilled workers had already installed a giant bomb-like device that looked a little fat under the supervision of Dr. Heisenberg and Dr. Hahn. This thing is the Heisenberg device, or the good thing of the atomic bomb.

Watching the Heisenberg device being lifted onto the tower by a large crane, Dr. Heisenberg, the chief engineer of the U Project bomb project, exhaled lightly, turned his head and smiled slightly at Dr. Hahn, the chief engineer of the U Project energy project.

"It's huge!" Heisenberg seemed a little uneasy, "I don't think they really threw it on the Americans, right?" ”

"It should ...... No," Hahn was a little unsure, "the Reich Marshal assured that the atomic bomb was only used to deter the enemy, and might be used in sparsely populated areas. ”

"I hope so," Heisenberg nodded, "just to scare the Americans, and I think the corrupt, degenerate, life-hungry American Jewish capitalists are very cowardly, and they will obediently hand over the money that belongs to the people of Europe." ”

"Yes, it should be handed over!" When Hahn said this, he always felt that he and Heisenberg were not scientists, but like two robbers in the way.

But according to the tone of Field Marshal Hersmann's speech at the secret nuclear base in Schwarz, Austria, more than a month ago, the atomic bomb was a tool used to seize world financial dominance for Europe.

"It's big, it's several tons, right?"

"The data says 4.5 tons! It can be dropped with a Me264 bomber......"

"4.5 tons? How much uranium is there? ”

"At least 1-2 tons, right?"

At the same moment, two Japanese devils, Hiroshi Oshima and Tadao Yokoi, who had followed Hersmann to the Vargra Oasis, were standing on a Heisenberg device displayed in the exhibition hall and whispering.

General Haushofer had already informed them in Japanese of the size and weight of the device, and had also allowed them to observe it up close. But you can't really see much from the outside, it's just the shell of an oval-shaped oversized bomb with a tail.

What was inside the shell was a guess, and the two Japanese took it for granted that a 4.5-ton bomb should have at least a 1-ton charge. And they didn't know there was plutonium, and they thought they saw a uranium bomb.

Plutonium has been found in both Germany and the United States, but neither country has made it public. Japan's own research in this area is limited, and the existence of plutonium has not been discovered, and naturally it is not aware of the existence of relatively low-cost plutonium production reactors. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that the United States, Germany, and other countries could not develop nuclear fission bombs in wartime -- historically, the US Oak Forest Nuclear Plant (refining uranium-235) consumed more than 20 billion kWh of electricity every year, while Japan generated only 37.7 billion kWh of electricity in 1943, while Germany's power generation in 1943 was only just over 100 billion kWh, and it was obviously impossible to spend more than 20 billion kWh to supply an isotope refining plant.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that a nuclear fission bomb will be infinitely powerful. But now the impossible has become possible! All that remains is to verify the power of this nuclear fission bomb.

If it's really as big as the legend (the result of scientists on paper), then ...... The landscape of the world will change dramatically from now on.

The Heisenberg Apparatus test was scheduled for 6 p.m. on June 1, 1944, during the hottest time in the Sahara Desert.

At the Vargra Oasis, about 20 kilometres from the site, engineers belonging to the U Engineering Committee erected a small reinforced concrete grandstand with an awning on the edge of the oasis.

Next to the concrete grandstand is a tightly guarded control room, where Dr. Heisenberg will personally press the button of the atomic bomb initiating device. The current signal will be transmitted through a 20-kilometre wire to the Heisenberg device, which is placed on a steel pylon.

At 5:50 p.m. on June 1, Dr. Heisenberg announced to the people in the stands who were waiting with bated breath to watch the explosion that the device would detonate in 10 minutes!

The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly tense to the extreme, and all the Germans, including Hersmann himself, had a feeling of being out of breath.

Hersmann put on anti-burn glasses, stood in the stands, facing the direction in which the atomic bomb was about to explode in the distance, and silently counted the numbers in his mouth. Start with 1 and count to 600, and that's when the "artificial sun" rises. And with each count, his heart beat faster by one point.

Because it will soon be the day of the European Community Leaders' Meeting, the success or failure of today's experiment is directly related to the future of the European Community and the world!

I don't know if it was because Hersman counted too fast, but when he counted to 600, the flash didn't appear, and there was silence all around.

Hersman's brow was twisted into a ball, and his face was covered with beads of sweat. Just as a sense of foreboding welled up in my heart, the dim desert in the distance was suddenly illuminated by a blinding light many times stronger than the midday sun, which was golden, crimson, purple, gray, and blue, indescribable, magnificent......

Hersman heard not a single sound, except for his own heartbeat, and just as he wondered if he was deaf, a violent wave of air rushed over him, and almost immediately followed by a strong, long-lasting, and terrible roar, as if to herald the end of the world!

Everyone in the stands was stunned by the scene in front of them, and everyone except Hersmann had not even seen the expansion of the atomic bombing. Although scientists have long calculated the possible power of the atomic bomb, ranging from a few thousand tons to tens of thousands of tons. But when these pale, seemingly meaningless numbers really turned into a huge fireball that was more dazzling than the sun, the people who witnessed all this were completely frozen in their thoughts, except for shock, they were still shocked.

In the open space below the stands, Fermi, who had already become a German citizen, suddenly reacted when the shock wave came, he threw out a handful of pieces of paper, which was blown far away, he immediately measured the distance with his feet (this is the method he used to calculate the explosion yield), and then rushed to the stands, loudly announced: "The intensity of this explosion is equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT explosives, and we succeeded!" ”
