Dawn, bright light, thunder, trembling, wind...... Everything makes sense, everything is expected. Lynn lay peacefully on her bed, letting the shock wave from the nuclear bomb blast shake the steel-framed and aluminum-skinned house, listening to the cheers of the technicians who had been lonely and worked hard for a long time. At this moment, he seemed to have seen through the mortal dust, detached from the world, and the sourness in his heart quietly solidified.

When it's time for your usual routine, get up, bathe, dress, and have breakfast. The first thing I did when I entered the experimental area was to take advantage of the boundless joy of the people around me, casually took a pencil and two small pieces of paper from the table, and took advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet to carefully roll them up and stuff them into the soles of my shoes.

On July 16, the experts and technicians who went to the site of the explosion did not return until very late, presumably with a wealth of test data in their hands. Lynn was just a curious curiosity about these important scientific and military materials, because he knew that he would also be involved in the corresponding analysis and calculation work in the future.

That night, a celebration party was held at the test base as scheduled, with sumptuous food and open drinks, and the families of scientific research experts also came to participate, and almost everyone entered a state of selflessness. Lynn drank a beer, staggered, knotted her tongue, pretended she was too drunk, and went back to her dorm room and fell asleep. In the dead of night, he quietly turned over and began to trace the location, armament, and staffing of the test base on paper by the faint light of the crack in the door. The experience of serving as a drudger in the Imperial Strategic Staff eventually paid off, and with many years of careful observation, he quickly produced a relatively complete intelligence sketch, but he himself was not satisfied with it.

In the next few days, Lynn was as calm and low-key as ever, diligent and hardworking, whether it was from the dormitory to the experimental area, or from the experimental area back to the dormitory, he did not deliberately slow down, looked left and right, and did not use the old-fashioned way of tying his shoes to hide his observations.

In the middle of the night, the wolf lurking in the sheepfold grinds its teeth secretly. The lines and words on the small piece of paper are densely packed, and every day there are new additions, and every day they are constantly improving, until they are full of confidence, and they carefully draw the positive picture on the new paper scroll...... On July 23, with only two days left before the three-week covenant with Tanzer and Techmel, Lynn approached Oppenheimer with a look of disappointment that had been brewing, and whispered in German:

"Doctor, the experiment you mentioned earlier has been successful, when will I be able to go back to school?"

"But the war is not over yet!" The little old man looked at the young man very strangely, and naturally he spoke in German.

"Then I...... Can you ask for a day off, it only takes one day! Lynn pleaded with a wailing voice.

"Didn't I make this clear when I first started?" The little old man held his pipe in one hand and stared at Lynn with some displeasure, "You have a special status and can't enjoy normal vacations. In fact, our researchers take a day off to a nearby city to buy personal items, a big meal, or something. ”

Lin Ping had already learned from the mouths of the bystanders, and he folded his hands: "It's almost my mother's birth, and I am going to choose a gift for her in the United States before I come." After this period of study, I also prepared the idea of solving the problem and prepared to send it to Dr. Halguhi, this time to Argentina as well. ”

The other party's posture was very low, and the little old man was not angry, he said: "There are also many goods in the shop of the test base that can be used as gifts!" Or, whatever you want to buy, I'll have someone bring it back to you from the city. ”

"I ......" In order to impress the other party, Lynn did not hesitate to sacrifice his latest secret weapon: gloom**.

Seeing that the other party was speechless, the expression on his face was almost tearful - although it was only close, such an expression always made people feel uncomfortable. Oppenheimer finally asked with concern, "What special do you have here?" ”

Lynn knows that in terms of learning, this thin little old man is undoubtedly the world's top level, but emotional intelligence has always been his weakness. It was precisely because of his upright and pure heart that Oppenheim felt so guilty that he felt so guilty that he attended the United Nations General Assembly as a member of the American delegation and said something in front of the delegates of various countries that annoyed Truman, then President of the United States: "My hands are stained with blood." Moreover, because of his deep awareness and guilt about the dangers of the atomic bomb, and because he foresaw and worried that the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union would begin, he enthusiastically devoted himself to the international control and peaceful use of atomic energy through the United Nations, advocated the exchange of nuclear scientific information with major powers, including the former Soviet Union, to reach relevant agreements, and opposed the United States taking the lead in building a hydrogen bomb.

Because of these politically naïve statements and actions, Oppenheimer was quickly attacked. After Eisenhower became president of the United States, he was prosecuted for his early leftist activities (his father's death in 1937 left Oppenheimer with a $300,000 legacy, which he used to fund the anti-fascist international column in the Spanish Civil War and some left-wing activities in the United States) and delayed the strategic decision to develop the hydrogen bomb. Thus ended his political career and the political ideals of international cooperation and peace with the help of atomic energy.

In the extreme state of gloom, Lynn said heavily and sadly: "When I was born, my mother almost lost her surname because of dystocia, so since I became conscious, whether I went out to study or traveled, I had to return home on the day of my mother's birth, but this time there was really no way, so ...... My wish was to pick out a gift for her myself, and before I came here, I saw some very beautiful earrings in a jewelry store in Albuquerque, and I thought I would go back and buy them after asking you for advice, but I didn't expect to stay here for more than half a month, and I don't know how long it will take in the future...... Please, just go to Albuquerque, buy a gift and come back, and it won't cause you any trouble! ”

At this time, although a researcher took a document for Oppenheimer to sign at an inopportune time, Lynn was still determined to seek a breakthrough in him. If it doesn't work, given that the chances of success of the individual's jailbreak operation are too low, the next step may be to continue to spend time at the test base, and wait until the day of the official lifting of the ban and leave before rushing to Boston in person, at which point it will be too late.

After signing the paperwork, Oppenheimer turned his head to look at Lynn, perhaps moved by his sensational performance, and the little old man relieved: "Okay, I'm willing to make an exception here to give you a day off, but can it be made in the end...... It depends on what the base commander means. I'll talk to him about it at lunch, and I'll get back to you in the afternoon. ”

"Great!" Lynn's expression immediately turned cloudy to clear, and he didn't look like a very well-known person at all. Although he had not read the official personnel documents, through ordinary observations, he judged that Oppenheimer's authority at the test base at this time was still quite large, and the military was only responsible for security and security, and he usually responded to his needs in terms of personnel transfer and material supply.

After a few trials and discussions, Oppenheimer brought Lynn good news in the afternoon: a group of technicians would leave for the nearest big city, Albuquerque, tomorrow, to leave early in the morning and return to base in the evening, all under the care of civilian military personnel.

Although how to connect with his companions without being noticed is still a difficult technical task, it is not easy to take this first step, Lynn looked up to Oppenheimer with a grateful look, this is indeed a top physicist with good character and good heart, but this kind of tolerance and kindness is about to have an immeasurable impact on the world, and he himself may not have thought of it.

Preparation for the final night was crucial, as Lynn pulled out the shredded tobacco from the cigarette, split the intelligence drawings into two, folded them into small rolls and wrapped them in tobacco, and then stuffed them back into the cigarette and mixed it into a very ordinary pack of Camel brand cigarettes. Without a magnifying glass, pointed-tipped tweezers, and other professional tools, he tried many times and spent most of the night succeeding.

Early the next morning, with the pack of cigarettes that looked unremarkable and contained six cigarettes, Lynn calmly lined up with the researchers to board the car, and the one who was carrying them to the big city of Albuquerque was a modified eight-wheeled Dodge heavy-duty truck, high enough and sturdy enough to resist the billowing sand when driving in the desert. However, before waiting for the bus, everyone had to go through a military search sent by the base. In comparison, this kind of inspection is more detailed and rigorous than when entering the base, after all, in this highly classified test site, except for dozens of top physicists, including Oppenheim, the rest of the personnel are not allowed to carry anything suspected of leaking secrets when they go out. Wallets, papers, banknotes, clothes, all had to be thoroughly searched, and even cigarettes were not spared - the cigarettes carried by the first few researchers were all detained, and some of them were so addicted to cigarettes that they begged the American GIs in charge of the inspection to keep two with them, but only two were kept for each of them.

Seeing this scene, Lynn felt a little empty in his heart, which meant that he had to quickly identify the two with content. Soon it was his turn, and the person who was being searched happened to be the black soldier who had been watching him to the test area for the first week, and Lynn smiled at him: "Hey, sir, it's you!" ”

The black soldier, who was about the size of himself, apparently recognized Lynn, but he searched his entire body without smiling, including the neckline, cuffs, trouser legs, and shoes and socks. The banknotes were looked at one by one, and finally the cigarettes, and he skillfully grabbed the cigarettes: "You can only bring two per person." ”

After that, he knocked out two of them casually - because he made a small mark, Lynn could see that only one of them had special content - although as long as he could draw another intelligence map with his memory as long as he was pen and paper, the time and conditions for going out were not allowed at all, and the smoke falling into the hands of American GIs was also a big hidden danger.

At this critical moment, he decided to try his luck: "Sir, with my addiction to smoking, two sticks are really not enough, can you give two more?" Please! ”

Seeing Lynn's half-jokingly bitter look, the black soldier hesitated slightly, and knocked two more cigarettes out of the cigarette pack.

Two out of six choices, how to calculate the probability, Lynn doesn't know the essentials, the key is that God once again favored him, and also favored the last empire that survived for a while.
