How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

The two were so confused by Ye Cheng's new terms that they were speechless.

What is...

Nuclear fusion bomb?

How is it different from a nuclear fission bomb?

There is always someone stronger than you, and there is always a mountain higher than the other one.

Are fusion bombs more powerful than fission bombs?

Heisenberg's silent mood was agitated again and he looked at Ye Cheng.

"Mr. Ye, please elaborate..."

Ye Cheng laughed.

Not convinced?

Then let me show you the horror of nuclear fusion.

He once again pulled over the stack of draft paper and tore it open to reveal a brand new page.

Write and talk at the same time.

"We know that nuclear fission is the process of generating energy through the continuous splitting of neutrons and atoms."

"We can call the bomb made in this way an atomic bomb."

"But in this process, a large amount of the chemical element uranium 235 is needed. But uranium 235 is not inexhaustible, and there are huge risks of radiation and contamination."

"After the atomic bomb explodes, no grass will grow in the area for thousands of miles, and humans will not be able to live normally for decades. I believe the experiments you conducted before have proved this!"

Hahn and Heisenberg looked at each other and nodded.

That's right!

Every nuclear fission experiment is like a life-and-death challenge.

The shadow of death always hung over the experimenters' heads.

Could it be that……

Ye Cheng continued writing on the paper.

"But there is another element in nature called hydrogen."

"It has two isotopes, deuterium and tritium, which can be extracted from seawater in small quantities."

“Not too much!”

"We only need a small amount of tritium and deuterium. When heated to an ultra-high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius, they will undergo a polymerization reaction, releasing a large number of neutrons and helium! These neutrons and helium will then collide with each other and fuse into a brand new atomic structure."

"According to Einstein's mass-energy equation, a large amount of mass-energy will be lost during the fusion process, and mass-energy can also be released."

"I call this process of fusion and release nuclear fusion... This is the derived formula for nuclear fusion. You two can take a closer look..."

As Ye Cheng spoke, he had already written down the entire derivation process of nuclear fusion.

This thing was conquered as early as the 1960s and 1970s, so Ye Cheng knew it was not a rare thing.

And, what does he do?

Over the past year, I have been helping Long Guo research this project, and I am now very familiar with the derivation process.

only……

Heisenberg was shocked again!

This time, not only him, but also Ottohahn beside him was trembling with shock.

why?

Because of Einstein's mass-energy equation!

Energy = mass x speed of light squared.

This is the principle, the rule, and the most basic law for producing a nuclear fission reactor.

The nuclear fission bomb is implemented by this law.

But there is a problem in the process of nuclear fission.

That's because the energy loss is too severe.

For example, one kilogram of matter can ultimately only convert about 0.001 grams of energy.

This is also one of the reasons why uranium 235 cannot be supplied in large quantities.

No one can afford such losses.

Similarly, it also determines the maximum power of a nuclear fission bomb, or an atomic bomb.

At most, it can only be equivalent to 5 tons of TNT, no matter how huge the chain reaction is.

Although it is terrifying enough, it has its limits.

And what about the nuclear fusion derivation formula written by Mr. Ye?

It's completely different from nuclear fission.

During the fusion reaction, it can convert more mass-energy for release.

That is to say, 1 kilogram of matter can convert about thousandths of mass-energy.

What a concept!

The mass-energy ratio has increased by 7 times.

This is still an improvement in mass and energy. If we focus on destructive power, that is, explosive power...

The two looked at each other, and quickly picked up other blank draft papers to do some calculations.

After a few minutes, the calculation results were crazy.

100 times!

A full 100 times difference!

The largest nuclear fission bomb can only produce 5 tons of TNT equivalent, while a nuclear fusion bomb under the same conditions can produce 5000 million tons!

This is the same mass as an atomic bomb when it reaches its limit.

If we increase the amount of materials needed for nuclear fusion and stack them up indefinitely...

God!

The two took a deep breath and were speechless for a long time.

The entire blue planet may be destroyed.

That is truly world-destroying energy. Although it is not enough to destroy a planet, it is enough to cause it serious damage that can never be healed.

Human civilization may regress thousands of years and return to primitive society.

Silence, deathly silence!

The two finally understood what Ye Cheng had just said.

There is always someone stronger than you, and there is always a mountain higher than the other!

Compared with nuclear fusion bombs, nuclear fission bombs seem as ridiculous as children's toys.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

"Mr. Ye, can a bomb of this power really be made?"

Heisenberg asked in a hoarse voice, as if he saw the end of the world.

Ottohahn also stared at Ye Cheng, but couldn't say a word.

Although the other party is only 1.89 meters tall and weighs more than 100 kilograms.

But he has the energy to destroy the entire world!

If the method of making this bomb was really told to the Allies...

Don't say anything.

Even if the empire possesses atomic bombs, it must surrender immediately.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing that the two were indeed shocked by nuclear fusion, Ye Cheng smiled softly.

"Of course! Just give me the time and materials and I can make it."

"And I will name it..."

"hydrogen bomb!"

In front of the two history masters, Ye Cheng pretended to be cool again.

If Su Ming were present, he would probably be so angry that he would yell.

Brother Cheng, is there anyone who bullies others like you?

This knowledge, which is understood by everyone in the 21st century, shocked Heisenberg and Otto Hahn.

It’s a pity that Su Ming is not here, otherwise this thing must have been pretended to be perfect and successful.

I do not know how long it has been.

Ottohahn stood respectfully in front of Ye Cheng and bowed deeply to him to apologize.

"I'm sorry! Mr. Ye!"

"I am ignorant of my own limitations and have been too presumptuous in front of you..."

"However, please do not disclose the method of making this bomb to either the Allied Forces or the Empire."

"If it were to be made public, the world would be destroyed."

Even Ottohahn, who had always advocated the use of force, begged Ye Cheng not to release the demon.

Ye Cheng's eyes fixed on the old man's head of white hair, and he sighed deeply.

Sir!

If I don't announce the hydrogen bomb, will it not appear?

In a few years, when Oppenheimer successfully developed the atomic bomb and witnessed its tremendous power, the nuclear fusion project would be launched in full swing.

Ten years at most.

Humanity will possess the most powerful weapon in history.

Although it has not been used in actual combat so far,...

It is like a thick dark cloud, always hanging over the sky of the blue planet.

As long as it does not disappear, it may one day bloom on this beautiful planet.

"Okay! I promise you, Professor Otto Hahn!"

Ye Cheng promised softly and tore up the draft paper on the table.

Seeing the devil being eliminated in the bud, the old man's whole body went limp and he collapsed on the sofa, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

He no longer dared to say that the atomic bomb was the best way to bring world peace.

Only Heisenberg watched the draft paper being torn, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

He was silent for a moment, then asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"Mr. Ye, can't we develop controllable nuclear fusion?"

“If we develop controllable nuclear fusion, will humans have an unlimited supply of energy?”

"Our civilization will undergo earth-shaking changes. We will be able to leave the blue planet, step into space, and explore the distant universe..."

The more Heisenberg spoke, the more excited he became. He clenched his fists tightly, looked at Ye Cheng with a flushed face, and was extremely expectant.

Finally, he asked word by word with great solemnity.

"Sir, may I ask if you have mastered..."

"Controllable nuclear fusion!"

After hearing this, Ye Cheng slowly turned his head, smiled at Heisenberg, and whispered two words.

"Of course!"
