"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Energy have submitted a plan to build a large thermal power plant at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, which they claim is a plan of the Military Intelligence Agency. The industry in that area is not developed at all, so there is no need to build such a large thermal power plant. If this thermal power plant is placed in the east, it will be an effective solution to the power shortage we are currently facing. "Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du took a report and found Emperor Wu Haoxuan.

"Hehe, Prime Minister, sit down first." Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Du nodded. However, he was obviously very dissatisfied with the Military Intelligence Bureau's meddling in economic construction.

Now, the empire's industry is developing rapidly, and the demand for energy such as electricity is also increasing. The empire is planning to build thermal power plants in major cities across the country to further alleviate the domestic electricity shortage. However, now the Military Intelligence Agency is asking for the construction of a large thermal power plant in the northwest, isn't this playing the piano indiscriminately? What's more, when did the Military Intelligence Agency get ready to intervene in industrial construction. This made Yang Du very dissatisfied, thinking that the Military Intelligence Bureau was overstepping its authority. If that's the case, isn't there something wrong with the Empire?

"Prime Minister, I have seen the plan of the Military Intelligence Agency, and I have also approved it." Wu Haoxuan said.

"Why?" Yang Duhu looked at Wu Haoxuan suspiciously, obviously a little incomprehensible.

"Prime Minister, this involves a top-secret plan for the security of the Empire. The Empire is currently conducting a secret study, which requires the consumption of a large amount of electricity. This thermal power plant is a supporting facility built for this plan. And that's just the beginning. In the later stages, it may not be enough. More supporting facilities need to be built. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Your Majesty, what kind of plan is this, so troublesome? Even if it's a top-secret plan, I, the prime minister, should have the right to know about it. Yang Du was even more curious about this.

"Of course, the Prime Minister has the power to know. Actually, we never wanted to hide it from you. Merely. In the early stages of the project, there was no result. To put it bluntly, the plan is actually to create a super-bomb, a super-bomb that will make the empire invincible. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Super bomb?" Yang Du asked in surprise. What kind of bomb can you use to make such trouble? Besides, what bomb can make the empire invincible? This statement is too exaggerated.

Wu Haoxuan knew that Yang Du was a little unconvinced, so he explained: "Ordinary bombs naturally don't have this effect. But. What if a single bomb could reduce a large city to ruins? For example, to destroy a city like Yanjing, only one such bomb is needed. So, if the empire has this kind of bomb in its hands, will any other countries be able to confront the empire? ”

"What? All it takes is one bomb to destroy Yanjing? How is this possible? Yang Du's face was full of disbelief. Now Yanjing has a total population of more than one million. The area of the city is even larger, and it is definitely not something that can be destroyed by a single bomb.

"It's true. What we are doing now is to turn this bomb from theory into practice. The empire is getting stronger and stronger. But. We also have more and more enemies. It can be described as a strong enemy. This makes it impossible for the Empire to make any mistakes, otherwise. The consequences will be severe. In the future, it is highly likely that a large-scale war will break out. This kind of super bomb that the Empire is developing has become a guarantee of our invincibility in future wars. If the Empire has such a super-bomb in its hands, who would dare to oppose us? Even a powerful country like the United States has to bow to the Empire. Wu Haoxuan looked longing.

In the future world war, if the Chinese Empire wants to compete with the United States for world hegemony. A large-scale decisive battle with the United States will inevitably occur. America's strong industrial power is undoubtedly a huge threat. Even though China is developing rapidly, it is still very difficult to surpass the United States in industry. If China can wield a powerful nuclear weapon, then. There will be enough capital to build a future world order.

"If there really is such a weapon, then the empire must be in its hands." Yang Du said categorically.

The essence of this world is that the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, and if China can really control this weapon, which country will be able to compete with China for world hegemony in the future?

"The development of the entire super bomb will take at least ten years. During this period, tens of billions of Chinese dollars need to be invested. Therefore, in the next ten years or so, the cabinet needs to do a good job of covering this up, and not let other countries know about the empire's plans. It is even more impossible for other countries to control this superweapon before the Empire. Otherwise, the empire will be at an extreme disadvantage. Wu Haoxuan said.

Yang Du nodded: "It took more than ten years and a huge investment of tens of billions of Chinese yuan. "This is definitely an unprecedented plan for the Empire. But if the Empire can get hold of that superbomb, it's worth it.

"For the sake of secrecy, the entire program was led by the Military Intelligence Agency. In the cabinet, no one knows about it except you and a very small number of people. Part of the money needed for this plan was paid for by the military, and the other part was covered by the royal family. What the cabinet needs to do is to try its best to cover up the flow of this part of the funds. At the same time, it is also necessary to disguise the construction of those supporting facilities. For example, large thermal power plants and the like. Our scientific and technological strength is still very weak compared to the European powers. Therefore, we may spend more time on this plan. If it can be kept secret, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the Empire. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I see." Yang Du replied. He also knew how important this plan was to the Empire. If there really is a superweapon that can destroy a big city with a single bomb. In the future, China will inevitably become the most powerful country in fact.

After Yang Du left, Wu Haoxuan summoned General Chen Xudong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, to inquire about the progress of the plan.

"Your Majesty, we have now built a laboratory at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains. Scientists are also making their way to the lab. In addition, the construction of a large-scale thermal power plant has already begun, and it is expected to be completed in two years, which will provide the electricity needed for this project. Admiral Chen Xudong said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded: "We must ensure the living conditions of scientists. In that place in the northwest, the natural conditions are already very bad. We must give them the best treatment. They can devote themselves to scientific research. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Admiral Chen Xudong nodded.

"In addition, our own scientists and those students should be prepared to work hard to learn from those scientists. The vast majority of the main scientists in the whole project were Westerners, which was always bad for the Empire. It is important to have our own scientists fully grasp this scientific knowledge in the shortest possible time. In this way, we will be able to truly control this superweapon. Wu Haoxuan said.

As the saying goes, if it is not within my race, its heart will be different. Because the empire's current scientific and technological foundation is too thin, most of the leading scientists in the entire super bomb program are foreigners, and they are foreigners hired by the empire some time ago. Although, they are now working for the Empire. But no one can guarantee that in the future they will not leak secrets, or leak the results of scientific research to their own homeland. In that case, it would be a great threat to the Empire.

For example, there are a lot of scientists from Germany throughout the project. Once the Third Reich was established, would those scientists be called by the Mustachioed Führer to return to their home countries to serve? In that case, once Germany also grasped the superbomb program, wouldn't it put the Reich in great danger? So, the empire must be cautious.

"Your Majesty, the assistants who are planning are all graduates of the physics departments of the top universities in the Empire. The Military Intelligence Agency has already specially investigated, and they are all innocent people. Admiral Chen Xudong replied.

"Hmm. That's good. In addition, the program of hiring well-known scientists from the West cannot be stopped. If they accept the Empire's invitation, it will be the best. If they don't accept it, then find a way to get rid of them all. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Wu Haoxuan's eyes.

Although, this may not be fair to those scientists. However, for the sake of the Empire, he could only do so. Without those top scientists, the development of their own nuclear weapons by Western countries would not have gone so smoothly. Perhaps, after the empire has been successfully developed, they have not yet been able to make a breakthrough. In this way, the future empire will be truly invincible.

"Your Majesty, rest assured that the MIA is implementing this plan. Those scientists who refused to accept the Empire's invitation would die in traffic accidents, or accidents of all kinds. Admiral Chen Xudong assured.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, in order to allow the empire to be ahead of other countries in the field of nuclear weapons, he could be said to have exhausted all means. He has compiled what he knows about nuclear weapons into materials and handed them over to the person in charge of the program. At the same time, the MIA is also recruiting more scientists for the Empire, as well as assassinating those who refuse to cooperate with the Empire. Under the influence of these factors, it would be unreasonable if the empire was not able to develop nuclear weapons before other countries.
