Lise Meitner was also very happy with her discovery.

So many nuclear physicists in Europe are working on this, bombarding atoms with neutrons to see what happens.And some people already have conjectures about nuclear fission.It's just that everyone's guesses failed. Some people made experiments, but they didn't consider nuclear fission.In comparison, Lise Meitner's laboratory has done a very good job, perfectly realizing the situation of nuclear fission.

So she has sorted out her findings and is going to hand them over to her colleagues in Europe, mainly her research partners in Europe.Discuss with them what you have discovered.

At the same time, she is also thinking about how to use theory to explain this discovery and prove this discovery.

It's not that easy.And because Zhao Zhongyao and Wang Ganchang directly participated in Lise Meitner's experiment, they are more and more sure that nuclear fission can completely turn into a bomb.So they have been doing calculations for the past two months, and of course they are mainly doing preliminary calculations.I am also considering what steps to take if it is to make a bomb.

And Duan Xun didn't hesitate at all.

Immediately discussed with Minister of Energy Ding Wenjiang, several exploration teams were formed to conduct uranium exploration nationwide.With the increase of China's export of raw materials in these years, especially the increase of mineral exports, there are many exploration teams in China's geological field.A lot of good things have been discovered over the years.

For example, a large number of coal mines and iron mines were discovered in Inner Mongolia, and oil fields were discovered in Shandong.Both have greatly promoted China's mining industry and metallurgy industry.Therefore, the formation of several exploration teams was completely unknown.

But even so, Duan Xun's order to Ding Wenjiang is very simple. The real purpose must be concealed, and no one should know that China is exploring uranium mines.Therefore, except for the head of the exploration team, no one else knew the real purpose.Just thought it was normal prospecting.

Ding Wenjiang chose geologist Nan Yanzong to take on the important task of searching for uranium deposits.

After that, Duan Xun asked the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics to take the lead in setting up two data centers in China.One is centered on those universities in Chengdu in the suburbs of Chengdu, and the other is centered on Beijing universities in the suburbs of Beijing.

The data center brings together a large number of college graduates who study mathematics for the purpose of calculating various data of the atomic bomb in the future.

But for now, it can only be in the name of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.In the name of the Bureau of Survey and Statistics, they recruited people from various universities. Their current main job is to sort out the various data of the Bureau of Survey and Statistics across the country.The choice of Chengdu and Beijing is because the two places with the strongest educational power in China are Beijing and Chengdu.

"Everyone understands now. Professor Zhao has already mentioned the possibility of this kind of bomb just now. But I still want to emphasize that this new type of bomb is only a possibility now. We have invested a lot, and it may take a long time in the end. It takes time to succeed. Or the manpower and material resources we need to invest may far exceed our current imagination."

Zhao Zhongyao once again introduced nuclear fission and the possibility of a super bomb.But Duan Xun once again emphasized the difficulty of this super bomb.Because Duan Xun knew that the US "Manhattan Project" cost more than 20 billion US dollars.And for this plan, more than [-] people were mobilized, and a large number of scientific communities participated in the manufacture of the atomic bomb.In this regard, China is much worse.

The number of scientists in China is an unknown fraction of that in the United States.Because the scientists participating in the "Manhattan Project" of the United States are not only from the United States, but also from Europe.

So the difficulties are many and serious.

"But I can be sure of one thing. Nuclear energy is a very important energy source in the future. Nuclear fission will produce a large amount of energy. If it is used in weapons, as we are discussing now, there will be a power that far exceeds all the current world. A bomb is a super bomb. If it is used for civilian purposes, so much energy conversion can be used in many places. For example, if such a large amount of energy can be controlled, it can be released slowly and used in In terms of power generation, how much electricity can be generated. So I am sure that nuclear fission is a great discovery that can change the history of the human world."

"Prime Minister, we are all psychologically prepared for difficulties. After all, in terms of modern industrial technology, we have always been just followers and imitators. The large-scale industrial construction in our country over the years, including the research and development of many important weapons, did not directly introduce foreign countries. Technology is the guidance of foreign experts. And this time we are going to do something that no one else has done, and the difficulty can be imagined."

Dai Kan spoke.

Acknowledge current difficulties.Impossible without difficulty, after all, this is a new weapon research and development.Moreover, it is not the research and development of traditional weapons, but the research of weapons in a completely unfamiliar field.Even the European and American powers have not set foot in the field.

"However, Professor Zhao also said just now. Professor Meitner's experiment has entered the most important time. When she completes the theoretical construction, she must make her experimental results public. Will European and American countries also Like us, they are interested in developing super bombs. With their industrial strength, their technical reserves, and the number of their scientists, once they really carry out research on super teams, the speed will definitely be much faster than ours. Such Once the super bomb is mastered by them, but we have not mastered such a thing, we will be in an extremely passive state. In the future, our country will not be able to stand upright in diplomacy, and everything will depend on the face of the European and American powers Acting. Even many of the plans we have formulated cannot be completed. Therefore, in order for our country to have a place in the world in the future and be able to speak up straight, we should also have such weapons. Our technical strength is insufficient, so we It can only be deployed early when European and American countries have not yet started."

"I agree with Premier Dai's statement."

Wang Yongjiang rarely spoke.

Said: "100 years ago, the great powers opened our door with their ships and artillery, and let our country begin a history of humiliation. Now if we fall behind to the European and American powers again, then we may become the same as a hundred years ago. The Manchu Qing government once again started a history of humiliation. We have worked hard all our lives to make our country independent and self-reliant. How can we let our country fall into humiliation again. I believe that the development process must be full of difficulties, but I believe in gathering the strength of the whole country It must be successful."

"Yes, Prime Minister, don't be afraid of difficulties, we can overcome them."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

In fact, when Duan Xun's "super bomb" plan was mentioned, they were startled at first.Because of Zhao Zhongyao's introduction, this super bomb is possible.And once completed, such a super bomb, one bomb can destroy a city.

No matter how they think about such power, they can't figure it out.

But also excited inexplicably.

After all, if China really succeeds in developing this kind of super bomb, it will not dare to call the wind and rain in the world with such a big killer in its hands, but China will definitely be able to sit on an equal footing with these great powers.There is no longer a big power in the world that can dictate China's affairs.

Including the land that China has always wanted to take back, there will be no problems.

It may even be that the world powers are depending on China's face.Therefore, each one is full of fighting spirit.What are you afraid of when you have difficulties.Now sitting in this position, many people are heroes who followed Duan Xun to conquer the world.When Duan Xun started his career, he was just a small officer under Duan Qirui, with only one regiment under his command.But in less than ten years, it is different that it has taken over Beijing.Moreover, Duan Xun has been in charge of Beijing for 15 years, and China is no longer what it used to be.Which one is easier to say.Now it is gathering the strength of the whole country, so that difficulties can be solved.

"it is good."

Duan Xun nodded.

With everyone's support, things will be easy to handle.If everyone opposes this plan, even if Duan Xun pushes it hard, it will be difficult to succeed in the end.Because the manufacture of an atomic bomb requires the cooperation of many departments.If these people disagree in their hearts and do not try their best when cooperating, then the plan may die.

"I hope everyone remembers that this is a top-secret plan. Except for those who are here today, it must not be exposed. Including your parents, wives and children, you must keep it secret. Once it is leaked, it will be a big deal. No one can bear this responsibility at the time. Therefore, everyone must guarantee this. Starting from me, after the "Great Wall Project" was formulated, it is not allowed to say this thing outside. Add any insider, whether it is a senior government official or an army general , as well as scientific research personnel, must be approved by the Prime Minister's office meeting. Next, I will confirm the leading group of the 'Great Wall Project'."

Duan Xun looked at everyone and said, "The 'Great Wall Project' is of great importance. I personally serve as the commander-in-chief of the 'Great Wall Project'. You can report important matters about the 'Great Wall Project' at any time. Premier Dai."

"Yes."

"Establish the 'Great Wall Planning Committee', and you will act as the director yourself."

"Yes."

Nuclear weapons research.

This super bomb development plan is extremely confidential, and more importantly, it requires the cooperation of many departments.In order to involve so many departments, there must be a cabinet boss who is personally responsible.The most suitable candidate is of course Dai Kan himself.

"Ren Deputy Director (Ren Hongjun)."

"Prime Minister."

"You serve as the deputy director of the 'Great Wall Planning Committee' and are mainly responsible for coordinating government departments. When the plan requires it, all government departments must cooperate."

"Yes."

"Commander Fang (Fang Dingying)."

"arrive."

Fang Dingying is a soldier.

When Duan Xun called his name, he immediately stood up.Duan Xun said: "You serve as the deputy director of the 'Great Wall Project Committee' and are in charge of military affairs. This is a weapons project, which should have been subordinate to the Ministry of Military Affairs. The troops at the test site, and a special court-martial for this program. That's your job."

"Yes."

"Bai Jianwu."

"Prime Minister."

"You serve as the deputy director of the 'Great Wall Planning Committee' and are mainly responsible for keeping secrets. You are allowed to arrest suspects while you are working. But you do not have the right to judge. After arresting people for interrogation, they will be handed over to a special court."

"Yes."

"Professor Zhao."

"Yes."

"Professor Zhao is the deputy director of the 'Great Wall Planning Committee' and is responsible for technical work. Weapon development is the most important thing. As long as it is for research work, Professor Zhao can ask all other departments to cooperate with your work. Including universities across the country, as long as it is a research institute If necessary, Professor Zhao can be introduced into your research team first. All procedures will be given the green light."

"Yes."
