Chapter 666: Germany Surrenders

The launch of the Nazi nuclear program worried Bohr, a famous Danish nuclear physicist. He knew that there were many outstanding scientists in Germany, Hahn, who discovered the fission of uranium nuclei, was a German, and a large number of scientists such as Heisenberg, all of whom were as famous as Einstein. These people, combined with the industrial capacity of the whole of Europe, would have made the Germans into an atomic bomb. As early as early 1939, Bohr learned from two physicists who had just escaped from Germany that Germany had begun to develop an atomic bomb. He immediately went to the United States to tell Fermi and other scientists who were in exile in the United States. These scientists, who are well aware of the enormous power of nuclear energy, are worried about this, and they know that if Nazi Germany preemptively builds the atomic bomb, mankind will face an unprecedented nuclear catastrophe!

The only way to stop this catastrophe was to build an atomic bomb before Germany, as was the consensus of the world's most famous scientists at the time. However, the creation of an atomic bomb requires strong economic backing, complete research equipment, a large number of scientific talents, and a stable social environment. Looking around at the various countries that participated in the anti-fascist war, Britain could not do it, France could not do it, and the Soviet Union was also busy with the war, and only the United States had this condition. In the spirit of being responsible for history, nuclear physicists Fermi, Szilard, and Taylor, who were in the United States at that time, actively campaigned in the United States to call on the United States to start developing the atomic bomb as soon as possible, but the leaders of the United States could not understand this new thing, regarded these scientists as "weirdos," and scoffed at their suggestions.

Over time. Scientists are in a hurry. They believed that it would be possible to begin development work as soon as possible only by handing the proposal directly to President Roosevelt. In order to increase the persuasiveness, they unanimously decided to nominate the respected Albert Einstein as their representative. Later, Szilard and Taylor visited Albert Einstein, who had settled in New York. After hearing the intentions, this scientific giant, who had a strong sense of justice and responsibility, gladly accepted the scientists' commission, signed his name on the proposal report of Fermi and others, and wrote two letters, one long and one short, to Roosevelt.

In October 1939, Roosevelt adopted Einstein's advice and ordered the creation of a uranium advisory board. Almost at the same time. Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Yasuda Fujishita, director of the Japanese "Imperial Army Aviation Technology Research Institute", Japan also launched its own nuclear weapons research program. Around the same time, the Soviet Union also began its own nuclear program, and there was already a breakthrough.

On December 6, 1941, Roosevelt formally approved the development program of atomic weapons. After the outbreak of the Pacific War. The U.S. government has accelerated the pace of research on the atomic bomb. On June 17, 1942, the U.S. Congress allocated $2 billion for atomic bomb research. On 11 August, the U.S. government formally formulated an atomic bomb research plan, named the "Manhattan Project," with General Groves, deputy director of the construction department of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as the overall person in charge of the program. The boroughs of Groves is located in Oak Ridge, near Novsville, Tennessee. At the same time, on a barren hill in Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA, a huge atomic weapons research plant with 125,000 people was built. At that time, two principles were formulated for the "Manhattan Project": one was to ensure that the atomic bomb was provided to the US team before the end of the war; The second is to build an atomic bomb before the Germans.

At 5:30 a.m. on July 16, 1945, the world's first atomic bomb was successfully exploded in the desert of New Mexico, USA. In fact, Han Yunhua knew that the atomic bomb was not manufactured until the surrender of the German Nazis. Germany's nuclear program has long been abandoned, for a simple reason, but due to air raids, lack of electricity, and lack of materials, the development of Germany's nuclear program has been slow. This could not be achieved in a short period of time, so the Nazi authorities abandoned the development of the atomic bomb as early as June 1942. In addition, the main reason for the abandonment of the German nuclear program was not these, but that Hitler was not interested in any weapon that would not produce results in six months. He was so arrogant that he believed that his blitzkrieg could conquer the whole world, and did not have the patience to wait for the atomic bomb to appear.

The power of nuclear weapons is too great, and Han Yunhua does not want such weapons of destruction to exist in the world, because the existence of weapons of mass destruction has caused more and more casualties in war. In the Battle of the Somme, when the Anglo-French army rushed to the German position, it was strafed by hundreds of German machine guns, and the British suffered nearly 60,000 casualties in one day. The world was shocked. The appearance of the Maxim machine gun is an unprecedented disaster for mankind, and mankind can be so efficient. Mass massacre of lives.

The same is true during World War II, due to the impetus of the war, heavy artillery, tanks, etc. have all been deployed on a large scale, and how can flesh and blood withstand the hunting of these steel machines, the casualties of World War II are enough to speak for themselves. If human beings used the atomic bomb as a conventional weapon, then Han Yunhua could not imagine whether the world would be destroyed because of this.

Although Han Yunhua knows that in the 21st century, the world has not been destroyed because of this, but it is less than a hundred years since the appearance of nuclear weapons, and it is not clear whether nuclear weapons will destroy the world, and the best way is not to let this kind of destructive weapon appear in the world.

On July 26, 1945, the uranium-235 body of the atomic bomb codenamed "Little Boy" was transported by the American heavy cruiser "Indianapolis" to Tinian Island in the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean, escorted by a large number of planes and submarines. Subsequently, other radioactive devices were transported to Tinian by three C-54 transport aircraft from the U.S. Air Force Department of Transportation.

In the early hours of August 6, under the bright light of numerous cameras and camcorders, the "Enola. The crew of the USS Guy B-29 bomber, led by Colonel Dibbetts, entered the engine room. At 2:45 a.m., the "Enola. The "Guy" took off from Tinian and flew to Japan. At 8:15 a.m., the atomic bomb landed on Hiroshima. A 10,000-meter-tall mushroom cloud shrouds a 3-kilometer radius of central Hiroshima in a black-gray cloud. August 9, 11:02. The U.S. military dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, "Fat Man". The dead and missing in the atomic bombing. There are about 150,000 in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki. To date, more than 220,000 people have died in Hiroshima and more than 120,000 in Nagasaki.

Because of the extinction of mankind caused by the atomic bomb, a weapon of destruction, Einstein regretted that he had written to Roosevelt to persuade him to develop the atomic bomb, and Oppenheimer, the creator of the atomic bomb, strongly opposed the use of nuclear weapons after the war. The bombardier who dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki with his own hands, Kermit. Captain Bihan's only wish on his deathbed was: "May I be the last person in the world to drop the atomic bomb!" On November 6, 1968, McVey, the captain of the USS Indianapolis, who had been responsible for transporting parts for the "little boy," was guilty of suicide after learning that he had transported an atomic bomb that had buried more than 100,000 lives.

Han Yunhua knows that his power is limited, and he may not be able to make the United States abandon its plan to develop nuclear weapons. Perhaps more countries will participate in the development of nuclear weapons in the future, but Han Yunhua must do his best to prevent the advent of this weapon that affects the normal development of mankind at this time, even if it can only be stopped or postponed for a period of time.

During his talks with Roosevelt, Han Yunhua gave a detailed account of what kind of weapon he knew about nuclear weapons, and also talked about the changes that the emergence of nuclear weapons would bring to the world. Han Yunhua is doing his best to eliminate the impact of nuclear weapons on the world.

Han Yunhua has done everything that should be done, and the result is not what Han Yunhua can predict ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
