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

The fat man and the little boy?

Hu Hai was stunned for a moment and sighed at the magic of fate.

How could he have deserved to be involved in such history?

Seeing that Lomanitz (Hu Hai) was in a daze, Feynman thought that the name he gave was too ridiculous, so he hurriedly explained with a smile.

"Haha, Lomanitz, don't be surprised!"

"As for why it is named this way, it is because the Type A bomb is a uranium bomb, which is 3 meters long and weighs 4.4 tons, and can cause an explosion equivalent to about 1.5 tons of TNT."

"It is the smallest of the three bombs we made, so we named it Little Boy."

"And bomb number B is a plutonium bomb, 3.5 meters long and weighing 4.5 tons. It can cause an explosion equivalent to about 2.8 tons of TNT, so I named it Fatty!"

"How about it! Don't say friends don't take care of friends! You just happened to meet me, how about you name this third bomb?"

"I……"

Hu Hai cast his eyes on the papers on the table with a helpless smile on his face.

Feynman, you really flatter me by letting me name these three bombs.

If predictions are correct, the third bomb should explode over the desert in nine days, testing the research results of 9 people over the past three years.

The other two must be transported out of the desert to complete their missions.

Hu Hai was silent for a moment, looking at the bomb drawn on the paper that was neither big nor small and was about to speak.

Wow!

There was a sudden commotion in the corridor.

A large number of people were running quickly outside, mixed with the excited voices of the crowd.

"Go! Go and have a look..."

"Oh my god, that suicidal guy, is he going to die again?"

"It's him again! Professor Oppenheimer should expel him from the laboratory..."

People kept running past the door, talking.

Feynman, the deputy chief engineer, frowned when he saw this.

With Oppenheimer and the general away, it was his responsibility to maintain order and security.

Interrupting Hu Hai's thoughts, Feynman stood up decisively and opened the door.

"what happened?"

With a serious face, he stopped a researcher and asked what happened in the bunker.

The researcher was displeased when he was stopped. He looked up and saw that it was Deputy Chief Engineer Feynman, so he stopped immediately.

"Uh... Haha! Mr. Feynman, it's nothing. It's Louis Slotin, that guy Slotin. He actually wants to perform the critical value experiment with his bare hands... After everyone heard about it, they all wanted to go over and see what was going on..."

"What?"

Feynman was shocked when he heard this.

Freehand critical value experiment?

Louis Slotin Is he crazy?

What is the bare-handed critical value experiment? As the name suggests, it means fiddling with the core of an atomic bomb without any protective equipment.

Through observation, the numerical response of the critical value is determined and the key data is recorded.

Why barehanded?

Because science and technology were not yet developed in the 40s, the conditions for complete mechanical operation were not met.

Yes, but not as accurate.

Just like a surgeon's hand holding a scalpel.

Machines cannot yet replace humans.

Normally, experimenters would wear heavy protective clothing and gloves and slowly operate that terrifying thing.

After hearing what the researcher said, Feynman became furious and was about to stop him.

But the other party had already run away quietly, busy eating the melon.

"This madman..."

Feynman watched everyone disappear into the corridor and yelled in anger.

He no longer bothered to wait for Hu Hai to name the third atomic bomb. He took a coat and turned away.

Hu Hai stood there in a daze, feeling neither amused nor helpless.

Louis Slotin?

The only man in history who dared to break open an atomic bomb with his bare hands?

As far as he could remember, this incident didn't happen after 19. How come it happened now, ahead of time?

Without thinking too much, Hu Hai followed Feynman's footsteps.

No matter what, he had to see it with his own eyes.

You must not do anything weird when the challenge is about to end.

If the laboratory exploded, all his three years of hard work would become a joke.

Soon, everyone went down one more level and arrived at the deepest part of the bunker, where three atomic bombs were stored.

When Hu Hai passed by a house, he took a look inside.

There are two mounted bombs inside, namely Little Boy and Fat Man.

The two bombs are still safely stored in the warehouse.

The third bomb, which was used for nuclear explosion test, had its mouth open and the core inside was missing.

"Fuck! It must have been taken out by Slotin!"

Feynman also saw the scene in the warehouse, and cursed again and quickened his pace.

Hu Hai still followed behind him with a helpless smile on his face.

Again.

When the stars of humanity shine!

Slotin!

A double PhD in physics and chemistry, he is about 30 years old this year, which is the age when he is in the prime of his life.

The other party is also an indispensable scientific research expert in the Manhattan Project and is full of rebellious ideas.

His idol is Isaac Newton, and he always believes that scientific experiments should be carried out by scientists themselves.

You cannot rely on others, and you cannot rely on machines and equipment.

Otherwise, it would be a blasphemy to the great science.

Just like Isaac Newton dared to use his eyeballs to test the composition of light.

It seems that this guy is determined to die today!

The group walked quickly and finally arrived outside the laboratory.

Through the glass outside the laboratory, Slotin was seen sitting at the experimental table, holding the atomic bomb core device in his left hand and a screwdriver in his right hand, slowly touching the beryllium hemisphere below.

At the same time, his assistant standing beside him was carefully removing the gasket to allow full contact between the core device and the beryllium hemisphere.

The purpose of doing this is to test the critical value of the chain reaction of slow contact between the two parties.

There was another researcher observing the testing machine, and five other colleagues standing in the room.

A total of eight people made up this crazy experiment!

"Damn it! Let him out!"

When Feynman saw this scene, he felt like his head was about to explode.

Slotin, this is not the way to commit suicide.

If you operate carelessly, do you plan to ascend to heaven with thousands of researchers in the entire experimental base?

If two more atomic bombs were to explode, do you intend to wipe out the desert town above, with a total of 15 people,?

The consequences could be disastrous!

Feynman put his hand on the door handle and was about to go in and stop Slotin's stupid behavior!

who knew...

But a hand reached out and stopped Feynman's action.
