This is the core of the Borodino project, where all the specialists of nuclear physics from all over the Union are concentrated, and here, according to Bettuko, there are more people with the titles of doctors and professors in some departments than ordinary technicians!

What is the least valuable thing about Atomic City? - Expert!

On either side of the hillside are tall high-voltage line towers, most of which lead to a building that looks like a giant hangar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Is that a separator room?" Lin Jun asked Bai Tuke on the side.

Now everyone is in the conference room of an office building in the core area, which solves the most core secrets, and the level of secrecy is different from that of the office buildings outside. Just now, Bai Tuko and Kurchatov gave Lin Jun a detailed introduction to the situation in the core area, and Lin Jun's question was based on his own common sense.

"Yes, Comrade Marshal, that's our separator plant. A second separator plant will soon be built at the site where construction is underway. "It's no surprise that Lin Jun would ask such a question, anything can happen to Andrei." Separating uranium-235 requires a strong power supply, and the large power plant on the periphery of the base is all about providing power to the base, and it is also the total substation. ”

Separating uranium-235 requires a total power supply that is close to astronomical amounts, a task that is impossible for a single large power plant alone. There are more than a dozen high-voltage transmission lines that lead to the power plant from all over the country, but instead of exporting electricity from the power plant, it comes from the Novosibirsk grid - the outgoing and incoming directions are reversed.

This was also due to the need for secrecy, and one can imagine how much the Soviets mobilized forces for the secrecy of this project - even the power sector was brought under the unified coordination of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Then it was a visit to the factory and laboratory, and everyone changed their heads and changed into radiation protective clothing - in fact, in the workshops and laboratories generally do not need radiation protective clothing, but the base still requires Lin Jun and his party to change into it for insurance.

A lot of equipment and work are unfamiliar to Lin Jun, and if it weren't for the introduction of Bai Tuke and a few people, he wouldn't understand anything after visiting it by himself. But knowing that everything here is his "credit", the "gas separation method" that he once mentioned with Bai Tuke is being carried out with great fanfare.

The actual effect was that the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons research took a lot of detours -- when the Americans started the "Manhattan Project," they had to use three methods at the same time because they did not know which method was best to use to split uranium-235. One can imagine how much energy and resources the Americans wasted, and now the USSR was on the right path from the very beginning.

"Kurchatov, after returning to Moscow, I will propose to the Central Committee to give you a title that matches your identity." While leaving the base, Lin Jun found Kurchatov.

The "father of the atomic bomb" did not care much about his title, but Lin Jun did very much - the comrade who made the most contribution was missing the title that Soviet scientists valued the most, and that was not the state affirmation of the "Hero of Socialist Labor", but the recognition in the scientific and academic sense: academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

Before leaving, Lin Jun also inquired about the uranium mines, and he was satisfied with the results he knew that there were rich uranium deposits in the Far East and the Altai region, both of which were undergoing large-scale mining. Contrary to what is remembered, the Soviets did not use prisoners as miners there, but rather highly efficient engineering teams.

On July 26, Lin Jun's special plane arrived at Moscow Central Airport. As with every end of the inspection, Lin Jun first went to meet Stalin.

"Comrade Stalin, in five years at the latest we will have forces that humanity has never mastered."

As soon as he met Stalin in the Kremlin's spacious conference room, Lin Jun made a final report.

Stalin had already learned about the progress of the "Borodino" project before Lin Jun went to Novosibirsk to inspect it, but what he did not understand was what kind of effect would be achieved by the current huge penetration.

The entire USSR was preparing for war, manpower and supplies were needed everywhere, and the "Atomic City" was like a bottomless pit that devoured everything, and although the decision had been made, Stalin did not know what to gain.

Lin Jun knew the reason why the old man had to inspect himself while understanding the progress: the old man had been waiting for 3 years, and the pile of reports he got were still "professional papers" that he couldn't understand, and he needed a reassurance. The only person who can reassure this pill is Lin Jun, who can bring a magical successor.

"How much longer?"

"Three to five years. Now that we've solved the most critical nuclear charge extraction problem, the next step is to scale up production. Lin Jun said and took out a drawing drawn by Bai Tuke, on which were the design drawings of two atomic bombs with different structures.

"The nuclear charge part is the most difficult problem to solve, and experts in the detonation method have a mature idea, as long as they wait until enough charge is obtained, the possession of nuclear weapons is close at hand." Lin Jun continued to make an introduction, and it took half an hour for Stalin to understand what a "gun" and a "implosion" atomic bomb were.

"Those comrades who are engaged in research have told me a lot of concepts of atomic weapons, Andrey, how powerful do you estimate such weapons?" Stalin liked high-powered weapons, and after spending so much effort, of course, he hoped for something that would solve any problem.

"One kilogram of uranium-235 or plutonium-239 is fully fissioned, which can release about 18,000 tons of TNT equivalent energy, and we estimate that the nuclear charge of an atomic bomb is generally 15 to 25 kilograms of uranium-235 or 6 to 8 kilograms of plutonium-239, but the utilization rate of the nuclear charge is estimated to be up to 5 percent with the uranium-235 charge, and the utilization rate of plutonium-239 is estimated to be higher with an implosion design. The power of an atomic bomb with a total weight of about four tons should be able to yield two to thirty thousand tons. ”

Lin Jun's report combined the experts' meaning with his own inferences.

"One can solve a city!" Stalin's voice rang out, "If we have a certain number of atomic bombs, not a single bourgeois country will be our opponent." ”

"This is just theory, Comrade Stalin. According to the experts, there is still room for further development of atomic weapons, and it is not impossible to obtain a single nuclear weapon with a yield of tens of millions of tons without increasing its weight. But that design is just an idea now, and what we need is to solve the problem at hand. ”

Lin Jun was a little worried, once Stalin had nuclear weapons in his hands, if he did not clearly realize its deeper meaning, the consequences would be difficult to say.

"Atomic weapons, unlike conventional weapons, can deliver tens of thousands of tons of bombs and artillery shells on an area, and our ground forces will soon have access to those areas. But if an atomic bomb with a yield of tens of thousands of tons is dropped on one site, people will not be able to enter those areas for a long time without proper protection, and the powerful radiation will kill all living things. ”

Stalin knew that taking X-rays was not good for the body, and what would happen if he received radiation from tens of thousands of X-ray doses at a time? Plant seeds may mutate, but the only structure of man is death.

In the next hour, Lin Jun talked with Stalin about radiation and did not let go of the weather.

"It's a double-edged sword, it can lead to victory, but it can also bring destruction." Stalin had a sense of danger, "If only we had atomic weapons, we could make peace." If other countries had the same, it could bring about the extinction of humanity. ”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin. The Americans should have already started research in this area, and although their progress has been slowed down by us, with their strong industrial strength and scientific and technological reserves, if they make up their minds to develop nuclear weapons, the United States will also obtain the atomic bomb within a few years. ”

"When both opposing sides have weapons that can destroy their opponents, perhaps the result is that no one dares to use them."

"If the two sides do not fight, they will compete in secret, and it may be appropriate to use a term to describe the future situation -- the Cold War." When Lin Jun said this, he admired Stalin's foresight and was able to see a situation that would not appear until many years later.

Lin Jun walked to the huge world map on the wall, and Stalin's gaze followed: he knew that there would be a new judgment under his beloved.

"The world of the future will be an era of confrontation between our socialism and the camp of the capitalist countries of the West. The Americans have relied on this unique geographical location to maintain the security of their homeland for two hundred years. With the current industrial and technological technology, we will not be able to directly and effectively threaten the United States in ten years, even if we have an atomic bomb, unless we take a suicidal air attack, but obviously that method does not make much sense. ”

Lin Jun is going to talk about the long-planned global today, "but the Americans may threaten us." Lin Junyi pointed to Europe, "Europe is now the domain of the Germans, and Britain and the United States are likely to form a strong alliance." Hitler was bound to lose, and if in the future the United States had military bases in Europe, its atomic bombs could directly threaten our core region. ”

"Do you want Hitler to take LinkedIn?"

"No, Comrade Stalin. Britain will be within the range of our blows in the future, and they do not have the courage to use their own lives as a backing for the Americans. At this time, Lin Jun turned his attention to the east, "We need a strong ally to rely on as a flank, and China is the best future ally, certainly not the ****** that leans towards the West." As long as we are back-to-back with China, nothing can threaten us. Lin Jun's words had already subconsciously decided the fate of Japan, and Stalin would never leave a dangerous hidden danger behind it.

"So, Comrade Stalin, we must make all the countries of the entire European continent members of the Socialist Union, so that we can have an advantage in the strategic confrontation of the second half century. It should be said that our opportunities are good, and Hitler has helped us remove the obstacles ahead. ”

At this moment, Stalin rediscovered the ability of the generals - no one could see so far, not even himself. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
