"Monsieur Curie, this is our uranium enrichment plant."

In a huge factory building in Changqing, a small city in the south of Zhaoren Prefecture, Wu Jianxiong, president of the Daming Nuclear Energy Research Institute, who was standing on a high platform, said with a hint of pride under his finger, and in the direction of her finger, there were countless centrifuges neatly arranged, looking majestic and magnificent.

In fact, there are 2,000 centrifuges running at high speed, constantly separating valuable enriched uranium from uranium hexafluoride gas bit by bit.

Although Yang Feng can easily obtain the uranium and plutonium he wants, it is also necessary to maintain the necessary production capacity on his own soil.

"This plant is still expanding, in the future we plan to install 10,000 centrifuges, according to the current work efficiency, by that time it is estimated that we can produce enough enriched uranium to make five to ten atomic bombs per year, this separation method consumes less than one-tenth of the gas diffusion method, and it is very simple to expand the scale, as long as we keep installing new centrifuges, even if we want to exceed the nuclear bomb production capacity of the United States, it is very simple, of course, there is no need for us at all, We just need to have the bare minimum of self-protection. ”

Yang Feng, who was standing next to Wu Jianxiong, said.

And the target of their speech was a special guest from Gaul, the famous Gallic nuclear physicist Jorio. Curie, Marie Curie's son-in-law and Qian Sanqiang's teacher, was the earliest leader in the development of atomic energy in Gaul after the war, and won the Nobel Prize for three or five years with his wife. Of course, he also has another more sensitive identity, he is a member of the Gallic Social Workers' Party, and he was the first to encourage Comrade Li to develop the atomic bomb in 51 years. Although there is such a special status. But if the Gallic government wants to develop an atomic bomb. Still can't do without him.

And Jorio. The goal of Curie's trip was to inspect the Ming dynasty's newly commissioned uranium enrichment plant, and then to determine whether Gaul would introduce the technology.

Although Yang Feng planned to rank behind Comrade Li in the nuclear explosion, but the current situation, it is indeed impossible to delay any longer, in fact, the development of the atomic bomb is not important to him, the sale of centrifuges is the most important, and the original history. This year is an important milestone for this technology.

Just as he led Jorio. Curie visited his uranium enrichment plant in the distant Georgian city of Sukhumi.

"What are you going to do? What crime have I committed? ”

In a research institute heavily guarded by the Soviet military, a former Prussian scientist struggled and screamed, and next to him were two men in civilian clothes, coldly grasping him for handcuffs and then before leading to a young woman, while all around them, including several officers and the institute's leaders, were silent, many of them even hurried away.

Because on the young woman's chest, she wears a terrifying shield badge on which a sword is inserted vertically from the center. The sword is covered with a five-pointed star with a sickle hammerhead flag.

National Security Council.

"Helnot. Chip? ”

The young woman asked in an extremely indifferent voice, expressionless.

The scientist nodded tremblingly.

He had seen this woman before. That was when Starling was alive, and she was in the attaché when the terrifying Bao Jun inspected the institute.

"Now arrest you for crimes against the USSR!"

The woman casually took out an arrest warrant and shook it in front of him, then said to the two men, "Take it!" ”

Soon Zip, who was already a little paralyzed, was escorted away, and the head of the institute behind him wanted to say something, but he kept his mouth shut under the warning gaze of an officer, and it was not until they were out the door that the person in charge let out a sigh of relief and ran straight back to his office, hurriedly picking up the phone to dial a certain number. Although Chip's nourishment had been almost drained, out of respect for such an excellent scientist, he decided to take the risk of providing a little help in his capacity, and everyone understood that falling into the hands of the National Security Council would become guilty without guilt.

But before he could dial the phone, he was held down by the officer who followed him.

"Do you want to die? Comrade Sophia is from the Lubyanka. ”

The officer shouted as he looked at him quizzically.

The person in charge gasped and quickly put down the phone.

At this moment, Zip outside had been put into a car, and then drove away from this hidden town to Zugdidi in the south, but when he reached a mountain road near the Black Sea, the car suddenly stopped, and the woman did not say anything, but the two people sitting behind Zipp opened the door as if they understood.

"What are you going to do?"

Zip, who was dragged out, asked tremblingly against the rough waves of the Black Sea.

However, he was answered by a muffled gunshot, followed by an additional bullet hole in his forehead, and at the same time a string of wire-connected lead vests were placed on his body before he could fall, and the KGB, who had put it on him, raised his foot and kicked him into the waves below.

Helnot. Chip, a former Prussian nuclear expert, originally the holder of a patent for a short-drum gas centrifuge in history, and the leader of the first Soviet team for the development of a magnetic levitation centrifuge, disappeared into the Black Sea, and the source of the technology of the Soviet P-series centrifuge was him, of course, now he is useless to the Soviet Union. Historically, he would have been released back to China in this year, and then applied for a patent for his technology and worked with a Chinese scientist to complete the practical research on the centrifuge, and eventually their research results became the world's second largest supplier of enriched uranium, the European enriched uranium company.

Now everything came to an abrupt end.

And this incident was quickly annihilated in countless similar actions of the KGB.

On the same day, almost on the other side of the world, in a residential area in Charlottesville, Virginia, a scream of horror suddenly broke the silence here, and soon the sound of ambulances and police cars sounded, and then stopped in front of an ordinary house, and then carried out a body covered with a white cloth from inside.

At the same time, in a small building not far from the house, a window on the second floor was closed.

In the afternoon, a local newspaper reported an unfortunate news, Mr. Binns, a professor at the University of Virginia, died in his home, in his sleep, and the cause of death was asphyxiation caused by bronchospasm by forensic medical examination.

In fact, the forensic examination was very sketchy, after all, he was not a special national security scientist.

If they had examined him more closely, they would have found a scabbed pinhole in some inconspicuous part of Mr. Binns's body, and if they had examined him more closely, and examined his blood in a complex and high-tech manner, they would have found that he had a very small amount of systemic anesthetic, which had only been applied for a few years......

Succinyldane.

Of course, none of this is possible, an ordinary small town police station, an ordinary university professor, how can it be so complicated, Professor Binns died of bronchospasm, unfortunately in his sleep in the middle of the night, and it happened that his wife was not at home that night, so this tragedy was caused, that's all.

And he is the collaborator of Zipp in the original history, and the principle of separating uranium-235 by centrifuge was proposed by him, but because the technical level is too high and not easy to achieve quickly, the Manhattan Project finally chose the gas diffusion separation method with relatively low technical content although the project is more vast, until he and Zipp complete the combination, and the centrifugal technology is really put into practice.

Of course, all of this came to an abrupt end as well.

"Monsieur Curie, how's our technology?"

Yang Feng was a little proud of Yorio. Curie said that behind the thick glass in front of them, experts in protective suits were holding out a piece of weapons-grade uranium with a purity of up to 97 percent, a piece of dust-looking metal that was enough to make a small atomic bomb. As for the reactor for the production of plutonium, it is also in operation at this time, and it is estimated that the first weapons-grade plutonium ring will soon be placed in front of him, of course, this output is not worth mentioning, he now has more than a dozen tons of weapon-grade plutonium in his hands, which can be taken out at any time to assemble hundreds of nuclear bombs.

"Your Excellency, your accomplishments are nothing short of amazing."

Yorio. Curie said.

"However, Your Excellency, I do not dare to guarantee that our government will not continue to invest in this project."

Then he added.

Obviously, this scientist is not a politician yet, and it can be seen from his public persuasion of Comrade Li to build an atomic bomb that he knows very well that the purchase of tens of thousands of centrifuges at a time and the establishment of supporting facilities will require huge capital investment, but it is really very bad whether the Gallic government will invest this money or not. Especially with the withdrawal of troops from Annam and then the chaos of the Algerian war, the political situation in Gaul is even more chaotic than before, with parliamentarians arguing every day and policies changing day by day.

Especially after the dissolution of de Gaulle's French People's Alliance, even in the Gallic army, discontent with the government was now accumulating.

Those incompetent politicians probably will not support such a huge investment.

"That's your business, as a friend I have no right to interfere in your internal affairs, but the door of my cooperation will always be open for you."

Yang Feng said indifferently.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry, it will take less than two years for de Gaulle to come to power, the Suez Canal War was betrayed by the Americans, and the Gauls who were intimidated by the Soviets with atomic bombs will know that in these years, there will be no right to speak without the atomic bomb.

Maybe you won't have to wait five or eight years. (To be continued.) )
