January 15, Republic 2783 (1943), White House.

"......" US President Ghana sat silently in front of his computer.

This is an ASUS-6 type personal computer, the latest version of the computer that can be bought in the international market at present, using a 32-bit processor, in terms of function, roughly equivalent to the Pentium 2 of later generations. Of course, there are better ones in China, but those are not external.

The current price of personal computers is still relatively expensive, and it is far from being able to have one for almost everyone as in later generations. Aside from China itself, the American people are the largest user base. Among them, it is mainly used by the government, the military, schools, research institutes and companies. When China began exporting personal computers in 1934, the world's great powers went crazy.

They are all trying to find a way to copycat, but the technology gap is too big, and the integrated circuits and other things in it completely exceed their process capabilities. And because the personal computer on this plane uses the Windows operating system from the beginning, the ability to prevent copycats is even more excellent, not only the hardware, but also the software cannot be copied. Because the personal computers launched by China have a rather disgusting design, that is, users cannot program themselves.

Therefore, if you want to use Chinese computers, you must buy genuine software, at least within 30 years, foreign countries will not be able to copy or compile software by themselves, as for the copycat hardware, it is estimated that it will have to add 10 years, and within 40 years, they will all want to make this level of personal computers.

Of course, the cactus classmate can afford it, and he bought this computer himself. What silences him now is not a computer problem. It's what's on the display.

A page from the official website of the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS) is displayed on your browser, showing some industrial and agricultural data released by the Chinese government for 1942. Of course, in order to be accurate, Ghana looks at the original version of the Chinese version, and it doesn't matter if some words are not understood, there are plug-in translation software.

It's not that the cactus classmates can't understand it, but the astronomical numbers above have been thundered.

The output of raw steel is 1.2 billion tons, the output of raw coal is 2.7 billion tons, the output of oil is 100 million tons, the output of cotton yarn is 20 million tons, the output of grain is 1.2 billion tons, the power generation capacity is 23.8 billion megawatts, the operating railway is 860,000 kilometers, and the number of merchant ships is 114 million tons......

What kind of Godzilla monster is this? And these figures are only China's own production, not including the bunch of satellites of the People's Revolutionary Union. And most importantly, now China is not mobilizing, it is just producing according to the convention, uh, more than the norm, because there are too many orders, so these data are not yet considered the limit.

"Hey...... Although China's industrial industry has long surpassed that of the United States, Ghana has a deep sense of powerlessness when he sees the speechless thunderous data. In fact, the cactus students don't know that China's current industrial and agricultural output is the result of the suppression of Wen Desi, and at this time, it is for the sake of sustainable development. If explosive, these statistics will be even more shocking.

"Damn, how much the Chinese like steelmaking! 1.2 billion tons! Each of them can get 1,300 kilograms of steel! It's crazy!" Ghana muttered as he sipped his coffee. There is no way, the steel production of the United States is just over 100 million tons, and the difference between the two countries is almost 11 times! This is a desperate number.

At this time, Ghana turned the page with the mouse, and the statistics of China's imported materials were also amazingly large. Suddenly, Ghana found a problem with this table, which only had iron ore, copper ore, coal and bulk materials such as grain, meat, and timber in more detail, but there were many types that were not available, and there were also some problems with the quantity.

For example, uranium mines, the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China are only "a small amount". China has been importing uranium ore and rare earths from the United States since 1909. Ghana remembers very well because his family has several uranium mines, in the 20s and 30s was the peak of China's uranium imports, importing more than 300,000-400,000 tons a year from the United States, after the outbreak of World War II, exports declined, but last year there were 280,000 tons. Of course, the uranium ore bought by China is only primary ore with an average grade of about 1%.

"280,000 tons is still a small amount!?" Ghana felt that this was too shameless.

But it doesn't matter, what matters is that Ghana finally remembered something about uranium mines.

It was August 1940, and several scientists in the United States suggested to him that a superbomb could be made out of uranium. In the original plane, this was proposed by Enrico Fermi in 1938. As for the history of this plane, since 1910, Wen Desi has been engaged in the "pig teammate" program, abducting some important well-known scientists to China, or completely distorting their professions, and at the same time using the resources at his disposal to wantonly ban things related to nuclear fission weapons.

But we all know that the human mind cannot be imprisoned, and even with the strong intervention of Wen Desi, these related theoretical studies have only been delayed, not disappeared.

In the original time and space, several important figures in the US nuclear weapons program, such as Albert Einstein and Fermi, were abducted to China, and several were led by "pig teammates" to distort their majors, and some encountered various accidents. But when human technology develops to a certain extent, other people will appear. Those well-known people in the original plane are gone, but other talents have come. The United States is also the world's second largest industrial power, and it is normal for a few nuclear physicists to appear who have been ignored in time and space. Not only the United States, but also the top powers such as Germany, Great Britain and the Soviet Union have come to know the theory of the atomic bomb.

And there is another very important reason, that is, China launched such a thing as a computer in advance. As we all know, computers are an important accelerator of science and technology. With such an addition and subtraction, the theoretical research on nuclear weapons in this plane is only two or three years delayed from the original time and space.

Of course, for Wen Dehe, this time is enough.

However, at that time, Ghana did not attach importance to this kind of thing, and he felt that the theory of using ore as a bomb was too subversive of his common sense, and it was completely fantastical. However, when he learned that Erdezi and the Soviet Union were also researching this weapon, he paid a little attention to it and ordered the establishment of a "uranium advisory committee" to make a preliminary assessment of the relevant issues. However, at that time he did not really realize the importance of the atomic bomb, so this department was almost forgotten by him.

Today's content on the webpage alerted him at once, so he immediately called the officials of the "Uranium Advisory Committee" to ask about the progress.

Ryman Briggs, chairman of the Uranium Advisory Committee, soon arrived with a large pile of information. So Comrade Cactus knew several news, some good, some bad, and some did not know good or bad.

After nearly two years of a bureaucratic evaluation process, the committee gave him a clear answer. Ertokuko is indeed developing the atomic bomb, which is bad news. But there are not many stocks of uranium on German soil, which is good news. The other bad news is that the United States and its allies also do not have much uranium on their turf. The last piece of news, whether good or bad, is that Germany and the United States do not have much uranium ore because of the purchase spree by China and some companies......

"God, how much uranium ore have the Chinese sold?" Garner was shocked.

"Mr. President, we have no way of knowing the exact number because according to our investigation. The mining of uranium ore began to increase suddenly in 1909, and this ore was not popular before, only some scientists and laboratories would buy it in small quantities, and after 1909, there were suddenly large orders for uranium ore on the market. ”

"Isn't it China?"

"Of course, there are Chinese ones, and they buy them in the name of personal scientific experiments and universities, research institutes, etc. Although there are many of them, the quantity is less than a tenth of the number of orders, and the rest is bought by some companies, but these companies are available in various countries. We also looked at all the U.S. companies involved and found that they were also changing hands, so we don't know where these uranium mines end up unless we can investigate all the countries......"

Briggs took out a list and said: "We estimate that in the 33 years from 1909 to 1942, about 18 million tons of uranium ore were mined and sold in the world, which is incomplete, but we exported 6.2 million tons of the United States itself, of which at least 2 million tons can be confirmed to have entered China." It can be confirmed that no less than 7 million uranium ore should have flowed into China......"

That's right, those vest companies are all Wendesi's, but they clearly underestimate the amount of Wendesi's looting. In recent years, Wen Desi has scavenged in various countries around the world, purchasing a total of about 30 million tons of uranium ore under various names and horse companies, and basically 95% of the uranium ore that is currently known and proven to be easy to mine in the United States has been bought. The rest is bituminous uranium mines, which are not easy to mine and much more expensive, and the others are uranium-containing phosphates. (Note that the quantity here refers to the amount of ore in the primary selection, not the amount of uranium)

"Mr. President, the Committee's recommendation is that the United States needs to immediately restrict the export of all uranium ore in the country and in the controlled area to stop the continued loss of uranium ore. The same should be true for the Western allies......"

Garner listened, with chills down his spine. Personally, he didn't believe in any secret weapons, because he knew the strength of the United States, and even at the last moment, the United States still had hundreds of thousands of tons of poison gas in its hands to use, which was much more powerful than the atomic bomb in the mouth of scientists.

But what he doesn't have is what others don't have, that's nothing, but since China has purchased so much uranium, this atomic bomb may not be as simple as he originally thought. He hurriedly asked, "Has China built an atomic bomb?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. President," Briggs shrugged, "and we can't assess that." If you were to ask me what I think, I can only say that even if China hasn't built an atomic bomb yet, they should be developing the technology. But China has gone far in the research of nuclear power generation, and since 1929, they have begun to import large quantities of ore in the name of the state in the name of developing new energy sources. ”

"Why? Tell me your reasoning. ”

"Mr. President, according to our investigation, since 1910 China has banned the export of all radioactive mineral deposits, including uranium ore, and even the mining of all radioactive mineral deposits within its borders, and that there is extremely little information about radioactive mineral deposits in the official information released by China, which is abnormal, and we believe that this is a deliberate cover-up by the Chinese government. But they continue to search for and purchase uranium ore from all over the world in the name of scientific research and other things. Whether it is us, or the major powers such as Britain, Germany, France, Japan, and the Soviet Union, there are more or less some scientists who are studying nuclear physics and nuclear weapons, and they have achieved some results of varying degrees. ”

"China also has a group of scientists specializing in nuclear physics, but most of their research results over the years have been on nuclear power generation, and the level is quite high, and the results on nuclear weapons are lackluster, and they have not put forward a single valuable paper. It's hard to believe that someone who knows so much about nuclear power generation wouldn't know about nuclear weapons, because the two are very close. It's hard to imagine that they would take all the uranium ore and study how to generate electricity. In academia, this is very abnormal!"

"That's true, I know the man who is very interested in various energy projects, and in recent years he has promoted several new energy technology developments, such as wind power, tidal power, geothermal power, solar power, etc. I also know that China has built several experimental nuclear power plants. But even if he wants to develop nuclear power plants, he doesn't need to buy millions of tons of uranium, let alone ban China's uranium exports, and no one will compete with him. ”

"You're right, it's true. I've visited a few nuclear power plants in China, and judging from the scale, they definitely don't need that much uranium. This thing can't be eaten as bread......"

Garner stood up and said, "Mr. Briggs, draw up a plan immediately, and I will approve it immediately." The United States must begin research on the atomic bomb and atomic energy as soon as possible. In addition, the export of any uranium ore in the United States will be banned from now on!"

"Yes, Mr. President. Briggs was about to step back when he was stopped by Garner.

"Mr. Briggs, please set up a task force as soon as possible to comprehensively assess China's current state of science and technology. I mean all, everything. Garner ordered.

Now Ghana has already regretted starting a war with Japan, although it is said that Japan is now taking the initiative to attack South Africa, so China and the People's Revolutionary Federation are not obliged to participate in the war, but who can say for sure this kind of thing? Didn't the United States play the same thing back then, and found an excuse to end up with neutrality and neutrality. Now the United States is shrinking its hands and feet in South Africa and does not dare to attack the Japanese mainland, because it is afraid of provoking China, Godzilla, but can it be difficult to find an excuse these days?
