Chapter 1074 Super Bomb
In the south of Bavaria, at the northern foot of the Alps, there is a military restricted zone with an area of more than ten square kilometers. As early as more than ten years ago, an engineering unit arrived here, and it was only evacuated after three years of construction. Instead, a guard unit directly under the General Staff was stationed here. Since then, no one has been able to enter the restricted military zone without a pass issued by the General Staff. At the same time, it is also the place where the counterintelligence agencies of the German intelligence and security agencies focus on protection.
Hundreds of spies from various countries are caught here every year, although all countries have sent their best spies here. However, no one has been able to get in so far, which makes countries know that this is a key secret institution in Germany. But it has never been able to figure out what the Germans are doing here.
On this day, Kaiser Qin Tian and Chief of General Staff Marshal Manstein, under the protection of the guards, arrived here by car.
When Qin got out of the car, the chief officer of the base and Professor Auburn Heimer, who was in charge of the research project here, were already waiting. As for the other scientists, none of them were there. For those scientists, their time is precious. Instead of spending meaningless welcome and sending, it is better to seize the time and continue to study their topics.
In this military base, the top physicists from the whole of Germany, even the whole of Europe, and even the world are assembled. There is only one focus of their research, and that is how the huge energy released by nuclear fission can be applied to the military field.
That's right, the main research in this military base is nuclear weapons, or atomic bombs. Within the German military, only a few people knew about this plan. The code name is nothing more than an ordinary 'super bomb' plan. No one would guess that although the super bomb developed here is a super bomb that can destroy a city.
"Your Majesty, welcome to the base!" Professor Oppenheimer said. As the project manager, he knows the power of the research here. It was precisely this that made him have a deep awe of Qin Tian. He never imagined that Qin Tian, as the emperor, would have such profound insights in physics. The rapid advancement of the entire super bomb plan is inseparable from some theories and assumptions put forward by Qin Tian at the critical moment.
Although Qin Tian did not have a background in physics, as a future man, he has never eaten pork or seen a pig running? Many theories about the atomic bomb in later generations are almost rotten. Although Qin Tian didn't know why there was such a theory, he just had to put it forward and let those professional physicists study it. It is not very difficult to gather the talents of these outstanding physicists and study them. It is precisely because of this that Germany's super bomb program is progressing very smoothly.
Although their super bomb has not been successfully developed yet, Qin Tian believes that the whole plan will be successful in a short time. Once Germany can grasp the terrifying atomic bomb, this will make Germany invincible in future wars. Once an accident occurs in the war, or the situation of the war is unexpectedly unfavorable to the German army, the super bomb will become a powerful guarantee for Germany to win the final victory. Qin Tian believed that as long as Germany successfully developed the atomic bomb, Germany would win the future war.
"Professor, you have worked hard." Qin Tian smiled. He has always had great respect for these outstanding scientists.
"Your Majesty, it is an honor for me and many colleagues to contribute to the empire!" Professor Oppenheimer said.
Under Qin Tian's intervention, Auburn Highmore, an outstanding talent who should have been the leader of America's "Manhattan Project" in another time and space, has now become the pillar of the empire. It was precisely because he knew of Auburn Highmore's talent that Qin was able to trust him to take charge of the super bomb project.
Next, Qin Tian listened to the work report of the scientists.
It can be said that the entire military base has gathered the best scientists in the world. Those scientists are not only from Germany, but even from the United States. Especially in the years when the economic crisis broke out, the lives of many scientists were also very difficult. At that time, Germany extended a helping hand to them, inviting them to work or give lectures in Germany, and then gradually absorbed them into this military base.
Of course, there are still some scientists who are unwilling to work for Germany. The German intelligence service acted in a timely manner. Through various means, coercing those scientists to work for Germany. If this is not enough, then the German intelligence agencies can only arrange many accidents. For example, many outstanding physicists in the United States died due to a series of accidents such as car accidents, gas explosions, and heart attacks. This did not attract the attention of the United States. This also made the physics research in the United States set back many years.
In this time and space, if the United States still wants to carry out the "Manhattan Project", then they may have to pay a higher price for it. After all, without those brilliant physicists, they have to make up for it by investing more. Also, it will take longer. This will allow Germany to take the lead in the atomic bomb program.
"Your Majesty, our super bomb project has been basically completed in theory. Next, we will mainly start the construction of heavy water plants and centrifuge plants so that we can extract enough weapon-grade uranium. It is estimated that three years later we will We will be able to have weapon-grade uranium with a purity that meets the standard. At that time, we can assemble a super bomb. If all goes well, in 1940, our first super bomb will be able to explode!" Professor Oppen Heimer said .
Qin Tian nodded, and was very satisfied with the progress of the atomic bomb project. In 1940, the world war should have broken out. At that time, with its strong army and preparations before the outbreak of the war, Germany should be able to prevail in the war. Of course, in such a situation, the super bomb is useless. However, this allows Germany to have a big killer that can change the course of the war.
"Very good, professor, thank you for your efforts for the empire!" Qin Tian said with satisfaction.
Next, Qin Tian instructed the chief officer of the base to ensure the lives of these professors and scientists, and at the same time, ensure the secrecy of the military base.
