"Prime Minister!" Seeing Chang Ruiqing and the others coming out of the car, Du Yuxin snapped and saluted: "Du Yuxin, the commander of the Tianhuo Base of the Ministry of Employment, has seen the Prime Minister, Minister Jiang, and Minister Shi.

Chang Ruiqing smiled and returned the salute: "Fortunately for you, staying in this inaccessible desert for several years, this hard work and this credit I Chang will not forget, and when the test is successful, all the officers and soldiers of the Tianhuo base will be promoted to the next level." ”

"Prime Minister Xie cultivates!" Du Yuxin hurriedly stood up and saluted again. However, I was confused in my heart, the Tianhuo base is actually a secret weapons test site, covering a huge area, and it is also equipped with a special airport and transportation logistics system, and it claims to be the 10th weapons test site of the Ministry of Armaments, but it is the first time that weapons tests have been carried out since it was built more than a year ago. I really don't know what kind of precious weapon is so valuable, not only to establish a special test ground, but also to bring thousands of officers and soldiers in the base a chance to be promoted!

"Mr. Zemin, have the Germans and the British arrived?" Chang Ruiqing and Li Fuji shook hands and asked in a low voice.

"Professors Einstein, Hahn, Chadwick, Fermi, and Aston, along with their assistants, have all arrived at the Skyfire base." Li Fuji named a large number of Nobel laureates, well, he himself won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1934 for the discovery of three isotopes of uranium and nuclear fission reactions, thus becoming a figure who can be on an equal footing with these world-class scientists.

Chang Ruiqing swept around, but didn't see a single foreign devil, thinking that these guys' shelves were really big enough. The Chinese premier did not come out to greet him.

"Prime Minister, Einstein, they are not at the base headquarters, they went to the weapons test site to supervise the placement of test bombs." Li Fuji made a solemn gesture. Walking to one of the buildings with Chang Ruiqing and others, he said as he walked: "After several years of hard work, whether it can succeed depends on tomorrow's explosion, they are all distracted, how can they rest assured if they don't see the bomb planted in place?" If it weren't for the Prime Minister, I would have personally supervised it. ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled and said, "How could it not be successful?" I don't know how many of the various experiments have been done, and all the numbers have been calculated repeatedly. It's sure to be foolproof. By the way, how many weapons-grade plutonium-239 and uranium-235 do we have in stockpiles now? ”

"There are already 100 kilograms of plutonium-239 in stock, which is 93% abundant, and two tons of uranium-235 of the same abundance. In addition, there are more than 180 tons of fuel-grade uranium-235 with an abundance of 3%. Li Fu snapped his fingers and introduced them one by one. Although the U Engineering Committee took the route of plutonium bombs, the Central Reserve Department did not stop the stockpiling of weapons-grade uranium-235, and now it has enough weapons-grade uranium-235 to make 50 atomic bombs!

"Can we build a uranium fission bomb on our own?" Chang Ruiqing Road.

Li Fuji nodded and smiled: "There is no problem, plutonium bombs and uranium bombs are the same principle." The design is much the same. It's just that the charge of uranium shells is at least half more than that of plutonium shells. If we are given 6 months, we should be able to design uranium bombs according to the gourd painting scoop, and within 12 months, we can assemble at least 55 uranium bombs and 10 plutonium bombs. ”

While speaking, the group had already walked into a conference room, and there were several models of nuclear fission bombs on a long conference table in the middle, and there was a stack of articles in front of each chair, all of which introduced nuclear fission bombs. However, without waiting for him to introduce, Chang Ruiqing preemptively asked: "Zemin." Can you estimate the number of weapons-grade plutonium-239 in the hands of the Germans and the British, as well as in the hands of the Americans? ”

Li Fu pondered for a few moments and replied: "After 1933, both Britain and Germany established large-scale isotope separation plants. Last year, a plutonium production reactor and a reprocessing plant were also completed...... These two countries should have similar production capacities to ourium-235 and plutonium-239 as we do, and if I'm not mistaken, Britain and Germany will also develop uranium bombs after successful plutonium tests. I estimate that the reserves of plutonium-239 they have now should be about the same as what we have, about 100 kilograms, but their uranium-235 is definitely not as much as ours, their factory was built in 33 and put into production around the end of 34, and now it can accumulate two or three hundred kilograms of weapons-grade uranium-235. As for the situation in the United States, we don't know about it, but we know that they started later, 34 years later, and invested on a large scale, but their industrial base is very good, so progress should not be slow. Moreover, the isotope separation process we jointly developed with Britain and Germany may have been secretly transferred to the United States by the British government, and if the Americans focus on developing uranium bombs, they should be able to have nuclear fission bombs this year and next, but there will be no more than those of Britain and Germany.

In addition, the German side also suspected that the Soviet Union had begun to develop nuclear fission bombs as early as the second half of 1934! ”

"What! The USSR was also developing a nuclear fission bomb! Chang Ruiqing gasped, and his face became solemn. Red Japan is about to be finished, and Red India has only half a life left, and if it is not for the value of elimination, it is now dead. Then the next one to land the red flag is probably only the Soviet Union! If Trotsky had possessed the atomic bomb at this time, the consequences would have been hard to imagine.

"Prime Minister, with the industrial and scientific base of the Soviet Union, I am afraid that it will be difficult to create a nuclear fission bomb in less than two years, right?" Jiang Baili reminded in a low voice on the side.

As Minister of Armaments, he understands better than everyone how demanding a nuclear fission bomb is on the industrial base! Suffice it to say that China, which has now surpassed the Soviet Union's industrial strength, is not enough to develop a nuclear fission bomb alone! If it weren't for the fact that more than 10,000 gas separators were deceived from Britain and Germany in the name of manufacturing uranium alloy armor-piercing shells before the nuclear fission phenomenon was discovered, I am afraid that the threshold for separating uranium-235 would not have been touched by now -- isotope separation is not as simple as steelmaking and ironmaking, and without a strong precision manufacturing industry and advanced materials science, if you want to engage in industrial isotope separation, let alone a door, there is not even a window!

Chang Ruiqing nodded, looking a little worried. Although the Soviet Union eventually became a nuclear power in the previous life, it was only after a large number of German engineers and technicians were acquired, and the industrial technology of East Germany and Czechoslovakia was still very advanced in history.

Jiang Baili continued: "And the development of nuclear fission bombs requires uranium ore. The Central Asian Front once discovered a uranium mine called Tabosarui near Tashkent in Central Asia, which, according to the confession of the captured Soviet engineers at that time, was the only uranium mine in the Soviet Union at that time, and before it was occupied by us, it produced a total of 100 tons of uranium metal, and it was impossible to refine much uranium-235 from such a small amount of uranium metal. ”

"Uranium ore is not a problem, the territory of the Soviet Union is still very large, and there will always be uranium ore deposits." Chang Ruiqing frowned. He said to himself: "It seems that the process of destroying the Soviet Union needs to be accelerated, otherwise it will be a big trouble for the Soviet Union to have a nuclear bomb, even if it has a few 'dirty bombs'." And the Russians who migrate to Australia in the future cannot be given the ability to build an atomic bomb. Otherwise it's always a hassle! ”

When Chang Ruiqing fell into deep thought, Adjutant Chancellor Chen Xinrui appeared at the door of the conference room: "Prime Minister, the Ministry of Defense has just forwarded a secret telegram from our delegation to Germany, and Marshal Goering, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, will personally come to the Tianhuo base to watch the test explosion of the nuclear fission bomb. ”

Fat Goering wants to come and see the big killer test explosion? A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Chang Ruiqing's mouth. Xin said: "After reading it." I guess I have to discuss with myself how to use the atomic bomb to slaughter the Soviet people, right? ”

……

Thundered......

An unimaginably huge fireball appeared somewhere in the depths of the Taklamakan Desert, and it was probably the largest man-made fireball in recorded history, at least a few kilometers in diameter! Its core temperature is tens of millions of degrees!

Whether it was Einstein, Hahn, Chadwick, Fermi, Aston, and Li Fuji who developed this fireball, or the Wehrmacht military police who were in charge of guarding the Tianhuo weapons test site, or even Chang Ruiqing and Goering, who were hiding in a reinforced concrete fortress dozens of kilometers away from the nuclear test site, watching the nuclear explosion with transparent special anti-radiation glasses, they were all startled by this huge fireball, no matter who it was. Even Chang Ruiqing, who has memories of his past life and has seen atomic bomb scenes on TV I don't know how many times, is the first time to witness a real atomic bomb explosion. There is only one word to describe this feeling.

The sky is falling apart!

Yes, even if the charge of this plutonium bomb is only 30 kilograms of plutonium-239 with an abundance of 93%, and due to the design flaws, at most one-third of the plutonium-239 has completed the nuclear fission reaction, and the nuclear explosion yield produced is only equivalent to 10,000 tons of TNT explosives, but this kind of power is unimaginable to everyone in this time and space.

The explosion generated tens of millions of degrees of heat and tens of billions of atmospheres, causing a 30-meter-high tower to melt into gas and form a huge crater in the ground. The smoke and dust raised by the nuclear explosion are like clouds hanging in the sky, which is extremely terrifying. Within a radius of 400 meters, the sand and gravel were melted into a yellow-green glassy substance, and within a radius of 1,600 meters, all test animals died.

The fireball that emitted the brightest light in the world soon turned into a dark brown ball of smoke cloud and swelled, which was the head of the legendary mushroom cloud. At the same time, after the nuclear explosion, the high temperature forms a strong updraft to carry the dust and gravel on the ground into the air, forming a thick and elongating dust column, when this "pillar" is quickly connected with the mushroom head in the air, it forms a unique external scene of the nuclear explosion - a mushroom-shaped smoke cloud.

When the mushroom cloud rose, Chang Ruiqing's gaze had quietly shifted to the faces of the other people in the bunker. He saw that Einstein, the chief designer of the atomic bomb in time and space, did not know whether it was because he was overly nervous or unable to bear the condemnation of conscience, and his face became unusually pale and haggard, and he looked almost on the verge of collapse.

The Italian scientist Fermi faced the bomb in the distance, but he closed his eyes tightly and did not dare to open them, and kept drawing a cross on his chest, and muttered words in his mouth, as if asking God for forgiveness...... In fact, he was repeating the same phrase in Italian: "In any case, this is an outstanding achievement in physics......

At this time, China's Li Fuji had already rushed out of the bunker as if no one was around, and got on a tracked armored vehicle to check the effects of the explosion, which was far more powerful than he had originally imagined. It was nearly 10 times larger than his previous estimate (the power of the atomic bomb was calculated to be about 16,000 to 18,000 tons of TNT explosives).

When Chang Ruiqing's gaze shifted to Herman. When Goering, the super fat man, found that the other party was staring at him with wide eyes.

"Mr. Prime Minister. It looks like we already have a superweapon that is enough to destroy a qiē enemy! The Luftwaffe commander seemed to have recovered from the shock of witnessing the atomic bombing, and said with a smile on his face: "If Trotsky and Takeda Heng had seen this, they would probably have knelt down on the spot and surrendered to our two countries, right?" ”

Get down on your knees and surrender? That's the great leader of GCISM, how could they surrender?

Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly and asked rhetorically in German: "Your Excellency Marshal, I think Germany's nuclear fission bombs are under the management of the Air Force, right?" ”

The fat man nodded. Of course, the nuclear bomb belongs to the Air Force, and the Army can't use this thing. A 3-ton nuclear fission bomb can't be blasted out with artillery, right?

"Do you have anything to do with nuclear fission bombs?"

Of course, there is, but otherwise the fat man Goering would not have traveled thousands of miles to the desert of China to watch the nuclear bomb explode. But. This is not convenient for a group of scientists to speak. The fat man looked around, Chang Ruiqing understood what he meant, made a gesture of please at the exit of the bunker, and then personally led the way.

It is located in a small two-story brick and wood building next to this reinforced concrete bunker. The Tianhuo Base Command has prepared a confidential conference room for Chang Ruiqing and Goering. Over there. There was already a map of the Soviet Union hanging on the wall, and Lieutenant General Shi Jianfei, chief of staff of the Chinese Air Force, and Jiang Baili, minister of the Chinese Air Force, had already arrived here first.

Chang Ruiqing did not wear a military uniform today, so he nodded and returned the salute, and the fat man Goering returned a salute - this is the latest military salute implemented by the German Wehrmacht, which means that Germany and the people are higher than a qiē, but they did not shout the famous "Hi! Hitler! ”

The four of them gathered around the map. Goering found that this map was an ordinary map of the Sino-Soviet-German battlefield. The map outlines the latest military demarcation lines in red and blue pencils, and circles dozens of major Soviet cities and industrial towns in red pencils. Apparently these cities are being targeted for nuclear fission bombs!

Due to the relatively long process of studying the atomic bomb in this time and space, and the technology of industrial isotope separation has been broken very early, China, Britain and Germany have built large-scale isotope separation plants, and now the three countries have very large reserves of high-concentration plutonium-239 and uranium-235 that can be used to make atomic bombs, which are estimated to be enough to assemble 70 to 80 atomic bombs, so that they can carry out a large-scale nuclear strike on the Soviet Union...... According to Chang Ruiqing's idea, the revolutionary will of the Soviet GCD is harder than granite, and if they want to bomb them to surrender, they must throw at least 50 to 100 atomic bombs, and they must wash all the large and medium-sized cities of the Soviet Union, killing 10 million to 20 million innocent civilians, and it is estimated that it is possible to shake the ruling foundation of the Soviet GCD.

However, the fat Goering's thoughts did not seem to be quite the same as Chang Ruiqing's, and his eyes did not linger for too long in the Soviet cities circled by red pencils, but directly turned to the military demarcation line between the Soviet Union and Germany - in the 1935 war, Germany did not make much progress in the Soviet-German battlefield, and the current front is maintained on the line of Vilnius-Minsk-Vinnitsa-Chisinau. In the past winter, the Germans desperately gathered forces there, and this map drawn by the Chinese did not indicate the deployment of the German army, but the fat Goering knew that now more than 300 divisions of German, Italian, Romanian, Bulgarian, and Yugoslav armies were deployed on this front! If you include the Air Force and logistics units, the total strength has already exceeded 6 million! It also has more than 20,000 cannons, 15,000 tanks, assault artillery, and 10,000 aircraft.

And their opponents, according to the reconnaissance of German intelligence, had at least more than 500 Soviet infantry divisions and more than 30 Soviet tank corps, with a total strength of more than 10 million! It has no less than 20,000 cannons, at least 6,000 tanks, and a small number of aircraft, but more than 3,000. In addition, there are more than 10 million armed Red Guards ready to fight the invading imperialist army to the end! In order to defend the Soviet GCD and Soviet power, almost every Soviet person who could take up arms was already organized. Even now Germany already has a weapon of terror such as a nuclear fission bomb. Goering also didn't think that Germany could defeat such a super war machine as the Soviet Union!

Because the Wehrmacht did not have enough nuclear fission bombs in its arsenal to kill all the Soviets who were ready to resist to the end - according to the estimates of the Wehrmacht General Staff, the current Soviet Union. At its limit, a maximum of 40 million people can be mobilized into battle, and if a nuclear fission bomb can kill 100,000 people, it will take at least 400 such bombs to kill all that many enemies.

But the problem was that the Germans had only plutonium-239 at most, which could assemble 5 nuclear fission bombs, and uranium-235, which could assemble another 5 nuclear fission bombs. The British may have the same amount of plutonium and uranium in their hands, but the British are not necessarily willing to use them for this war unless there is enough to pay for it...... By this time, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had hardened his stance on Australia and Canada. It seems that this dead fat man, knowing that Britain is about to master the nuclear fission bomb, is already playing a small plan to revive the British Empire!

Since Britain can't be asked for help, the only way to get China to come up with a nuclear fission bomb to use on the European battlefield is to find a way. In any case, they were the greatest beneficiaries of the destruction of the Soviet Union.

Thinking of this, the fat man Goering's expression had become solemn, and he looked at Chang Ruiqing with blazing eyes: "Your Excellency, I think you know very well how much the destruction of the Soviet Union is of great interest to our two countries. And you must know that the USSR has been transformed into a super-war aircraft by the Soviet GCD. All their resources and every citizen are in the service of this war plane, and if we want to get a vast living space from the Soviet Union, we should fight together with all our strength to defeat this incomparably evil enemy, and the sooner the better...... Because as far as we know, Trotsky instructed the scientific departments of the USSR to develop nuclear fission bombs back in 1934, and we don't know how far the Soviets went in this regard? But I estimate. If we do not destroy the USSR in the next 12 months, they will most likely have nuclear fission bombs. We're in a lot of trouble then! ”

Chang Ruiqing has already understood the subtext of Goering's words - you Chinese hurry up and take out nuclear fission bombs and everything! If we can't destroy the Soviet Union in time, and wait until the Soviet Union also makes a nuclear fission bomb, the trouble for our two countries will be endless!

He smiled slightly and nodded noncommittally: "Your Excellency, I completely agree with what you mean, we must destroy the Soviet Union in 1936!" He shook his fist vigorously: "If we don't have a nuclear fission bomb, it will be a little difficult to achieve this goal, after all, the Russian nation's will to resist is quite tenacious, and the Napoleonic Emperor was not able to conquer them." But now that we have this superweapon, maybe just pick one or two medium-sized cities to show their power, and the Russians will bend their knees and surrender...... Your Excellency, where do you think we should drop nuclear fission bombs? ”

"Your Excellency, you mean bombing Soviet cities with nuclear fission bombs?" The fat man Goering smiled and shook his head: "I don't think the Bolsheviks would care about millions or even tens of millions of Soviet civilians, in fact, they have already killed more than 10 million Soviets through arrests, shootings, civil wars and famines, and in this world war that they themselves provoked, at least 20 million Soviets were killed, I think even if we use nuclear fission bombs to kill millions more Soviets, the Bolsheviks will not be able to surrender." So our opinion is that nuclear fission bombs should be used against the military power of the USSR, as well as against their military industry...... Of course, if you have enough fission bombs to kill every Soviet. ”

Speaking of this, Fat Goering raised his eyes and looked at Premier Chang Da, and smiled: "Your Excellency, can I take the liberty of asking a question?" Chang Ruiqing nodded. Goering continued: "Can you tell me how much high-concentration plutonium-239 and high-concentration uranium-235 you China now have in stockpiles that can be used to produce nuclear fission bombs?" ”

"Mr. Baili, how much plutonium-239 and uranium-235 do we have?" Chang Ruiqing smiled and threw the question to Jiang Baili.

Jiang Baili rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "There are not much, the highly enriched plutonium-239 is less than 100 kilograms, and the highly enriched uranium-235 is a little more, about 150 kilograms." ”

Uranium-235 is only 150 kg? Fool it! The fat man Goering coughed dryly, looked at Chang Ruiqing and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I think it is in the common interests of our two countries to destroy the Soviet Union...... Because our two countries were the biggest beneficiaries of the elimination of the Soviet Union, they should also bear the corresponding obligations, and we should use all the plutonium-239 and uranium-239 in our respective hands to make nuclear fission bombs to bomb the Soviet Union! Of course, given that the amount of plutonium-239 and uranium-239 provided by the two countries may be very different, as the party that provides less plutonium-239 and uranium-239, it should come up with the corresponding technology or funds to compensate the other side, do you think this plan is feasible? (To be continued......)
