Tan Renhao took Pan Zekang directly to Nie Renfeng's office, he didn't forget to bring Pan Zekang's first letter to him, and in addition, he also went to call Gan Yongxing.

After reading Pan Zekang's letter, Nie Renfeng's expression immediately sank, and he repeatedly looked at the young major officer. Pan Zekang looked a little scared and worried, after all, it was the first time he had seen the Imperial Admiral at such a close distance. Tan Renhao took this opportunity to explain to Gan Yongxing, and he could see it from Gan Yongxing's expression, and Gan Yongxing didn't know much about this matter, so he was a little surprised.

"Major, you wrote all this yourself?" Nie Renfeng walked over and saw that Pan Zekang was about to stand up, he pressed his hand slightly, so that Pan Zekang would not be so polite.

"Marshal, Xiaguan studied theoretical physics in college."

Nie Renfeng laughed. "I didn't ask you this question, I just wanted to know, on what basis did you write this letter?"

"This ......" Pan Zekang raised his head, "Marshal, Xiaguan only wrote this letter based on what he learned and what he learned from several teachers in Xiaguan, so ......"

"Your teacher?"

Pan Zekang nodded vigorously. Xia Guan graduated from Guangzhou University of Technology, and his three mentors were Professor Wu Dayou, Professor Wang Tuchang and Professor Yan Keats. Originally, Xiaguan was supposed to stay at Guangzhou University of Technology to teach, but after the outbreak of the war, Xiaguan responded to the call of the empire......"

"That's enough." Nie Renfeng pressed his hand, "That's it, Major Pan Zekang."

I give you special authorization, you can go to the headquarters information room to find some information you need, and I will ask the adjutant to take you to the relevant formalities. In the future, you can report directly to General Tan Renhao, if you need anything. You can also come to me. ”

Pan Zekang nodded, not yet understanding what this meant as a send-off. Tan Renhao kicked him below, and he reacted at this time, and then got up to say goodbye. After Pan Zekang left Nie Renfengdi's office, Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing both looked at the principal with puzzled eyes.

"I didn't expect that. The Empire's top-secret plan was revealed by an ordinary major technical officer, and it seems that there are still many loopholes in the 'Pangu Project 1'! Nie Renfeng sighed, "What, you're surprised?" ”

"Headmaster, if not surprised, then really strange."

Nie Renfeng smiled and shook his head. "Actually, I don't know much about this 'Pangu' plan, and I don't know much."

Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing did not speak, but waited for Nie Renfeng to continue.

"Long before the outbreak of war. Several of the Empire's most prominent theoretical physicists have proposed that if the energy of the atomic nucleus is harnessed, enormous amounts of energy can be released in an instant. Of course. What kind of theory this is, I don't know, and I don't understand. From what I've seen, the basis for the theory was developed by a German Jewish scientist named Albert Einstein. What is it called 'relativity'? ”

Tan Renhao had heard of the "theory of relativity", which was a new theory and had been a popular theory, and he only knew a little bit about it, such as the famous formula of mass and energy conservation. Gan Yongxing was even more confused, when he was studying, he was still studying classical mechanics.

"Our scientists came up with the same theory less than two years late, and the 'theory of relativity' has already been confirmed through observational experiments." Nie Renfeng shrugged his shoulders, "It was also at this time that several physicists of the empire made great achievements in the electronics laboratory, and believed that if the energy in the nucleus could be released, the energy produced would be unimaginable. ”

"But the question is, is there any way to do it?" Tan Renhao frowned.

"These are scientists' business, not ours. However, before the outbreak of the war, our physicists had already found a way, and the theoretical physics laboratories of Guangzhou University of Technology, Jiangnan University of Technology, and Beijing Institute of Technology all came up with the same results. It's just that, at this time, all research was at the laboratory stage, and no one thought that it could be used in the war. ”

Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing's expressions became serious, which can obviously be used in the war.

"After the outbreak of war, the focus of the empire shifted to war, and various related institutions were established, including a cabinet department headed by the prime minister himself, which was responsible for the development and application of new science and technology." Nie Renfeng pressed his hand, did not let Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing speak, and then said, "This is a top-secret department, even most cabinet ministers don't know about it, the task of this department is to find all ways to improve the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, especially in terms of science and technology. ”

"But how to solve the funding?" Tan Renhao raised a key question, no matter what department, it must need financial support.

"There are three sources of funding, one is the secret appropriation of the Imperial Cabinet Government, which is available every year, and was mostly used for intelligence in the past, but now it is divided into parts. The second is the secret funding of the army and navy, which, we all know very well, the imperial navy has secret funds every year. The third is to obtain additional funds through those industries controlled by the imperial government. Nie Renfeng explained simply, "Funding is not a problem, the most important thing is that we must have more advanced technology than the enemy, so that we can be more confident in defeating the enemy!" ”

"In other words, atomic physics is also among them?" After Gan Yongxing finished speaking, he looked at Tan Renhao, and he didn't know much more than Tan Renhao.

"Yes, the research of atomic physics is a key object of support." Nie Renfeng sighed, "The problem is also here, the main direction of scientific research at that time was not here, just like the tradition of the empire, more emphasis is placed on practical applications, and during the war, all the technologies that can be quickly effective and bring great progress are the most important, and as far as we know now, to transform those atomic theories into practical things." We still have a long way to go, and the investment is huge. Best of all, no one can guarantee it. Our investment is rewarded accordingly. ”

"In other words, there is a serious underinvestment in this area?"

"It's not a serious shortcoming. But it's not at the forefront. Nie Renfeng looked at Tan Renhao, "Renhao, you should be very clear about the package agreement we reached with Germany, right?" ”

Tan Renhao nodded. "At that time, I also asked the chief of staff, I heard that in order to obtain our assistance, Germany provided a group of scientists to the Reich to conduct scientific research?"

"It's not a provision. The German mainland has been bombed by the United States and Britain, several of its key laboratories have been bombed, and much of its infrastructure has been destroyed. Nie Renfeng crossed his hands, "Germany has sent this group of scientists to our side, first, to continue scientific research with the help of our laboratory, second, to avoid unnecessary casualties and losses, and third, to speed up the progress of scientific research." Of course, the condition is that all the results of scientific research are shared with us and that we will arrange for scientists to participate in the research. And play a key role in it. ”

Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing also understood at this time, obviously, these scientists are engaged in atomic physics. Maybe Albert Einstein was among them.

It was at this time that we learned that not only Germany was speeding up research in atomic theoretical physics, but also the United States. Britain, Russia, and even Japan, which had already been defeated in the war, were all conducting research on the subject. Of course, our research is no slower than anyone else's, and after receiving some of the results of German research, our scientists have shown that it is possible to create a bomb of unprecedented power, which will certainly change the basic face of the entire war field. ”

Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing immediately became nervous.

"From what we got at the time, this bomb is more than 10,000 times more powerful than any bomb we have in the area." Nie Renfeng's expression also became serious, "It is precisely because of this that the Prime Minister officially established a special agency and established a plan to research and manufacture this kind of bomb, which is the 'Pangu Plan 1'." The aim is to build such a bomb before any other country does. ”

"The cabinet is responsible for the specific work?" Tan Renhao was a little puzzled, such an important matter definitely needs the participation of the military.

"Initially, it was the Cabinet, but last year, it was handed over to the Army." Nie Renfeng sighed secretly, "At that time, when I learned the news, the prime minister had already handed over this task to the army. ”

"How much progress has there been on the Army's side?" Tan Renhao also has a bottom in his heart.

"Let's put it this way, after the army is in charge, this matter has nothing to do with our navy, and judging from the current situation, the army has not made any name for itself." Nie Renfeng suddenly laughed, "I wanted to get some information from Yan Dingyu several times, but Yan Dingyu's mouth was very tight, and he couldn't ask anything at all." ”

"Perhaps, the army has not made much progress at all."

Nie Renfeng nodded. "That's where we should be worried. Now the army does not spend more than we do, and they invest no less than we do. Perhaps, the Army simply simply cannot come up with extra funds to continue the development work. ”

"Headmaster, if this kind of bomb can finally change the whole war, it will definitely affect the final outcome of the war, if the United States is the first to do it, then we will definitely lose the war, at least we will not be able to achieve complete victory, we must make this kind of bomb before the Americans!" Tan Renhao expressed his thoughts, "If the army undertakes the research and development work alone, then the navy should participate in the research and development work. ”

"It's up to the prime minister to decide, and we don't have the right to intervene."

"But ......"

Gan Yongxing kicked Tan Renhao below and told Tan Renhao not to worry.

"Judging by the opinion of Major Pan Zekang, perhaps now the Germans are ahead of us." Nie Renfeng sighed, "The prime minister should know the seriousness of this matter, as a politician, the prime minister thinks not only about how we win the war, but also how to ensure our interests after the war." If it is finally determined that this new bomb will not only determine the course of the war, but also affect the pattern of the post-war world, then the prime minister will certainly make the right decision. ”

Tan Renhao lowered his head, war makes people crazy, and it also makes the country crazy. In order to win, any country will try to gain as many advantages as possible, if there is really a weapon with unprecedented power and can destroy an entire city, then this weapon will definitely change the face of the entire war in the end, and any country that first masters this weapon will become the undisputed global hegemon, and the Tang Empire will never tolerate other countries to make this weapon before the empire!

"Headmaster, I believe that this matter is related to the fundamental interests of the Empire, and we cannot sit idly by." Gan Yongxing is much more stable than talking about Renhao.

Nie Renfeng nodded slightly. "Yongxing, what is your opinion?"

"I think it should be brought up directly with the prime minister." Gan Yongxing pondered for a moment and said, "Regardless of whether the Army has the ability to support this research alone, now that we know it now, we can't sit idly by. This is not about fighting for the interests of the Navy, but about defending the interests of the entire empire. ”

Nie Renfeng sighed. "The problem is that now we simply don't have the right reason to make this request to the prime minister."

"Then we'll have to find a couple of reasons, and they're good enough to come up with." Gan Yongxing kicked Tan Renhao again.

"Headmaster, I think so too, no matter what happens on the Army's side, I think this matter should be directly managed by the Cabinet, not by the Army."

Nie Renfeng pondered for a while. "Okay, Ren Hao, you have a good exchange with Major Pan Zekang, learn more about the relevant knowledge, and then give me a report as soon as possible, and when the opportunity is ripe, I will personally submit it to the Prime Minister.

"But ......" Tan Renhao has a little headache, and now he still has a lot of things to deal with.

"Those problems of the Germans, let Yongxing arrange other personnel to be responsible." Nie Renfeng looked at Gan Yongxing, "Now let Ren Hao be mainly responsible for this matter, we have delayed enough time." ”

Tan Renhao and Gan Yongxing didn't go into any more wordy, neither of them was stupid, they both knew that this matter was related to the fundamental interests of the empire, and the most important thing now was to do the relevant work, and then persuade the prime minister to put the research on the new bomb in the most important position!
