In May, Li Guang received a letter from Professor Pol, the chief scientist of Project A. This is the first time that Professor Bohr has asked for an increase in research funding. Much of Professor Ball's previous research has been theoretical calculations, such as the critical yield of uranium-235.

But this time is different. The reason for this was the discovery in March of American physicists of another nuclear fuel, plutonium-239, which was published in a specialized journal.

The news spurred Professor Pol, who asked Li Guang for funding to prepare an experimental process for refining uranium-235. He hopes that he can make a greater breakthrough in nuclear physics and be the first to deduce the critical yield of uranium-235 through experiments. Only with this data can the charge of a nuclear bomb be determined.

Li Guang once provided Professor Bohr with the vaporization separation method and centrifugal enrichment method for uranium refining. However, large-scale ore refining is not simply to point out a road, and the process of determining the process route is not simple. Fortunately, Li Guang allocated dozens of science and engineering students to Professor Bohr, otherwise just the process research of mineral processing would be enough for Professor Boll to have a headache.

Although Li Guang knew the principle of the atomic bomb, he also taught Professor Pol. But one of the most fatal hurdles has not been solved so far. However, if the process of industrial uranium refining is completed and tens to hundreds of grams of nuclear raw materials are obtained, Professor Boll will have the means to obtain some data through experiments, and then Professor Boll will be one step closer to calculating the critical equivalent.

Whether this idea is right or wrong, Li Guang can't judge the right or wrong of the path, and he has no intention of interfering.

All in all, it's a good thing. Although the future is bleak, it is a big improvement. Li Guang happily allocated $200,000 as a research fund.

Now the implementation of Plan A is very strange, the specific affairs are in charge of Yuan Chou, the research is in charge of Professor Pol, and the funding is in charge of Li Guang, and Li Guang also makes a cameo appearance as a consultant from time to time.

Li Guang found that it is not necessarily wrong for a layman to manage an insider. Yuan Chou did not understand physics, so he did not interfere with scientific research at all. But Yuan Chou is smart enough, he found a trick to manage this stall, which is called workload management.

The so-called workload management, Yuan Chou's tricks are very interesting, Li Guang laughed at it, he did not know how to manage a scientific research unit of this nature, and did not interfere.

This trick is that Yuan Chou recruited a few teenagers from the Naval Resistance Army, and specially counted the daily paper and ink consumption of the institute, as well as several other small data.

He turned the data into charts, which are almost like candlestick charts for stocks. From this he can keep track of the progress of the project. This trick is simply too smart, Li Guang admires.

Li Guang has a high opinion of several uncles of the Yuan family, but Yuan Chou is undoubtedly the best.

The boss Yuan Zi Li Guang didn't have much contact, but it can be seen from the stalemate between him and Professor Yuan that the boss has a very stubborn temper.

The third Yuan Yin worked as a pilot instructor on Stone Statue Island and worked hard. But he is not a very good pilot, and his sense of balance seems to be somewhat lacking. It seems that pilots are not highly educated, and physical talent is also important. However, Yuan Yin has a great advantage, he is good at overall planning and has a lot of research on aviation tactics. Li Guang was ready to transfer Yuan Yin to the General Staff Department as Chief of Staff of the Air Force when the conditions were ripe to lighten his workload.

The fourth Yuan Mao, who is still young, is not yet eighteen years old this year. But this kid jumps up and down like a leather monkey. Originally, Li Guang arranged for him to lead the armored battalion with Qin Zhan, but Qin Zhan himself was an unstable child. Li Guang was worried that the two children would lead the armored force together, and something out of control would happen. For example, in this Somalia campaign, Qin Zhan threw off the large army and rushed forward several times, covering almost all the exploits of the roundabout troops.

As for Yuan Ran, Li Guang knows best that this is an ambitious little fox, smart and cunning, and adventurous, but Li Guang likes it very much.

Thinking of this, Li Guang couldn't help but worry about Yuan Ran, and didn't know how Yuan Ran's plan was going.

Ceylon in mid-May was rainy and humid, but it was not so hot, and Li Guang felt very comfortable.

In fact, Li Guang's comfort is more psychological. He was at the Tang Port wharf today, and in addition to inspecting the fortifications that were being built, he had a more important matter.

He came here to greet Professor Yuan Ye, who had returned from the United States, and also to greet Su Zizi.

I haven't seen her for more than a year, and Su Zizi is even more charming. The moment Li Guang saw Su Zizi, he was completely demented, so much so that he forgot that there was another prospective father-in-law, Professor Yuan Ye, next to him. It took a long time to wake up, and it took an embarrassing few words of greeting with Professor Yuan to barely cover his face.

Su Zizi returned to Tanggang and was not idle for a day. She led her performance team to hold a number of concerts for all residents and soldiers of Tang Harbor, and her influence quickly radiated to the entire Nanyang Chinese world.

These days, Li Guang enjoys the gentleness of beautiful women. He felt the changes that Su Zizi had changed in the United States for more than a year, and Su Zizi was as gentle as ever. Li Guang felt the strength of Su Zizi's heart, yes, that's right, it was powerful.

In the past, Su Zizi was a little weak and even a little withdrawn from the competition between her and Yuan Ran, but now Su Zizi is even tougher than Yuan Ran.

Her toughness is not through words, but through deeds. Anyway, in front of Li Guang, she never mentioned Yuan Ran once, let alone said that she was willing to marry Li Guang together. In short, Su Zizi is still gentle, but she is resolute inside.

Su Zizi's mother, Su Mao, has recently stopped Li Guangmian about marriage, and Su Zizi is completely in charge. The more this is the case, the greater the pressure on Li Guang.

Li Guang had a headache, he couldn't let go of either of these two girls. Sometimes Li Guang waited for a long time, and he mustered up the courage to talk openly and honestly about this matter. Su Zizi's performance is that there are needles hidden in the cotton, and she doesn't pick up stubble at all. Li Guang is still a little ashamed (is there?) It's hard to speak anymore.

By the way, Su Zizi is not just an acting star now, but now Su Zizi has two companies under her name. One is in the United States and has entrusted a manager to run the business, and the other is in Tang Harbor, and his father Su Maode has sent a guy to take charge of the management.

These two enterprises, in fact, are one enterprise. The product produced was an incendiary bomb.

Most of the time, the naval resistance forces fought naval battles, and incendiary bombs were rarely used. Li Guang is a bit of a modern person's assumption, he thinks that napalm should not be very expensive, after all, the price of raw materials - gasoline is there.

Who knew that as soon as he inquired, he knew that although the current so-called incendiary bomb and the incendiary bomb in his concept are not two different things, there is a huge gap. Whether it is the United States, Germany, or the United Kingdom, the price of such incendiary bombs is about 2,000 US dollars a ton. This price is basically the same as the price of shells.

It's expensive, it's too expensive.

Later, through a few Chinese chemistry students, Li Guang figured out the manufacturing process of incendiary bombs in this era. It turns out that the key to napalm is gelatinous gasoline, that is, chemicals that turn liquid gasoline into gelatinous substance. In this era, precious rubber was mostly chemically processed to create a viscous agent. Rubber was already expensive in this year, and it is even more expensive after processing. The incendiary bomb also needs to add some thermite or white phosphorus and other substances, which are not cheap materials, so it is not unusual for the incendiary bomb to be sold for 2,000 US dollars a ton.

When Li Guang learned about it, he was immediately moved. Without him, he knew the formula of modern incendiary bombs, or what the most critical coagulant was - the viscous agent of modern napalm is made of benzene and polystyrene.

So I immediately notified Su Zizi, who was performing in the United States.

Su Zizi accepted most of Li Guang's words without objection, and immediately looked for manufacturers everywhere, and it didn't take long to find the only polystyrene factory in the United States, in fact, the only one in the world.

The owner of this factory is now anxious, the product is produced, it is difficult to sell, and the mainstream packaging boxes in the United States are still paper boxes, and few people use polystyrene. To put it simply, this factory is on the verge of closure. Su Zizi spent less than $50,000 to take over the small factory, and then hired the owner as a professional manager. Another $500,000 was invested, and production was immediately increased tenfold.

Su Zizi believed that Li Guang's result was that the products produced were still unusable, and a large number of them were piled up. Li Guang blushed for a long time, he knew the ingredients, but the ingredients also needed to be mixed with the process formula. I had to find a few chemistry students for Su Zizi, and it took half a year to finally find the formula. This is also the reason why Su Zizi was delayed in the United States for so long.

The formula has been perfected, and now the work here in the Tanggang factory has become simpler, the heavy oil used by the naval resistance warships is a product of crude oil that has been roughly refined, and the volatile fuel oil extracted is actually the main component of gasoline, but the quality of this gasoline is so poor that it is unusable, and it can be used as a raw material for napalm bombs.

According to the current fuel consumption of the Navy, even if they do not purchase gasoline, they can accumulate 35,000 tons of low-quality gasoline every year. As for the cost of causing napalm, it will certainly not exceed $400 a ton, and such a cost is a huge profit among the windfall profits, which is more profitable than making guns and cannons.

It won't take long for Su Zizi's beauty to really become a rich woman. In fact, Li Guang did not realize the future of the incendiary bomb until this time, thinking that it was just an auxiliary weapon. Although there is a profit, there will not be much sales. However, later development proved how much Li Guang, a modern person, did not understand war. Or that the movie scenes of bullets and rain of bullets have influenced Li Guang too much, so much so that he misjudged the future of this weapon, the way of money.

In the blink of an eye, Li Guang has been in this era for four years, from a 25-year-old hairy boy to a nearly 30-year-old leader of a military and political group. For Su Zizi and Yuan Ran, he is inseparable from his own feelings. But he is no longer a little hairy, and the consideration of marriage is no longer just his own love.

People say that love is a natural attribute, and marriage is a social attribute.

Now Li Guang's marriage is full of trade-offs of interests, which can't help but make him not weigh them. Whether it is Su Maode or Yuan Ye, the two families have a strong influence on the military, political and economic affairs of the Maritime Resistance Army. The two prospective fathers-in-law are working hard to contribute their wisdom to the Maritime Resistance Army, and they are actually Li Guang's indispensable right-hand men.

Faced with such a problem, Li Guang had no choice at all, and Li Guang had no choice but to drag it out.
