Chapter 63 Awakening in pain

The failure of the classification *** list has been decided, but I have no choice but to waste my time. I still sincerely support my brothers and fight again next month!!!

In the core laboratory of the Manhattan Project, Lynn, who was a newcomer, was just an inconspicuous little man. The work assigned to him was exactly the same as when he was a low-level staff officer in the Imperial Strategy Staff. He followed the technicians under top physics experts to do some very technical work, sometimes calculating data over and over again, and sometimes boring handicrafts such as building models. Oppenheimer occasionally thought of this "genius" young physicist, the son of a German Jew, to discuss issues in nuclear fusion theory. His casual way of asking questions always made Lynn unable to defend himself. Most of the time, he could only stand at Oppenheimer and barely look contemplative, or pretend to write and draw and draw on the draft with a pen.

Fortunately, as the director of such a large laboratory and the general manager of technology, Oppenheimer is very busy, really busy. He has to walk away because of other things in the middle of his words. This makes Lynn ride a psychological roller coaster again and again, changing in a nervous, depressed and relieved mood. He gradually feels a kind of torture pain, wishing to find out the environment, explore the structure, recognize the personnel, find an opportunity to escape or send the information out.

However, the experimental base is so vigilant that it is not inferior to the empire's "sanctuary" base in any detail. Not only the buildings, laboratories and equipment are given simple codes, but every researcher is also the same. Oppenheimer's code name is A, and people call him "Dr. A" in person, in addition, there are Dr. FM, Dr. B, Dr. FL, Dr. R, Dr. S, Dr. As, etc. Just looking at his face, Lynn can recognize their identities.

In this inexplicable atmosphere, the wolf spent its first week in the sheep pen. Time is the best emotional soothing potion, which is not only for emotions, but also in life. In the following time, the most celebrating thing is the preliminary review of the American side by Comrade Linn, who pretends to be an Argentine exchange scholar. The physics books, notes, and personal belongings he brought back were returned, but the small telescope sent by Bach was missing. The day of "going to and from get off work" by American soldiers ended here. In addition to being unable to leave the base half a step or stepping into those restricted areas that require license to enter, other treatments are basically the same as ordinary technical employees, and even the first week's salary was obtained.

Oppenheimer fulfilled his promise. In fact, objectively speaking, this laboratory brings together the world's top physics experts, hundreds or thousands of people, almost half of them are not Americans, or just experts and scholars who have only arrived in the United States in recent years. If they want to conduct strict identity reviews on them one by one, the US side does not have that much energy, and their intelligence and security services have not yet been opened to the world in 1945. Furthermore, as long as they firmly guard the test base and prevent any information from being leaked, the effect of confidentiality will be achieved.

Although the base's management has been a little relaxed, Lin En, who was performing intelligence missions for the first time, did not dare to relax psychologically. Even if there was no American soldiers around him, he was still cautious every day, following the rules, and doing his best work. He never copied formulas and data in the laboratory in his notebook or other places (if he copied it, he was afraid of getting it wrong), nor chatting with others randomly, nor unconsciously staring at any important physics expert.

Time always follows relative laws, some people suffer long days, and some people suffer short days. Since Lynn entered the laboratory, the emotions of Oppenheimer and the main scientific researchers have become complicated as the days pass day by day, and the tension, heavyness, excitement and longing are mixed together. It is naturally difficult to understand the inside story based on superficial observation alone. Thanks to his diligent and kind attitude and greatly improved English proficiency, Lynn gradually became familiar with the people around him.

In this experimental base, especially in the department where theoretical research is most concentrated, people do not always communicate in English. The familiar German with local accents is heard from time to time. When Lin Neng first arrived, he thought this was a temptation specially arranged by the United States, so he only listened without interrupting. Over time, he realized that German was simply the second official term here. None of them, a considerable number of top physics experts and their assistants were German Jews who fled to the United States before and after the war, and some were non-Jewish physicists who immigrated from the German-speaking areas of Europe for political or other reasons. Most of these people were able to speak English, but were not proficient. When discussing some more professional theoretical issues, they could express their opinions more clearly.

It is a loss to recognize German-born Jews as fathers, but they were sympathetic to the American officials and Oppenheimer at the beginning. When discussing issues with these experts who were persecuted and had no choice but to leave Europe, this also invisibly narrowed the distance between Lynn and their identities. Although the laboratory regulations are that only code names can be mentioned, not names, as long as they pay attention to the conversation, Lynn can also speculate on their research direction and their significance and status in the atomic bomb research and development project from the projects they are responsible for.

In the words and phrases, I kept collecting very important information, including the approximate test date, location and method of the first atomic bomb used for the test. I even knew that this guy was a complex detonation fission atomic bomb, which contained multiple plutonium cores, how many conventional strong explosives were installed on the outside, and its expected explosion equivalent - experts optimistically estimated that the power of such a super bomb would exceed 500,000 tons, but later information clearly stated 2 million tons, which is where theory can never replace practice.

Although the wolf hiding in the sheep pen collected key information that was difficult for Mr. James Bond to compete with, Lynn was not prepared in advance and the disadvantages of entering the test base by relying on accidental factors were fully revealed at this time. There was no high-tech radio equipment; no responses arranged within the enemy; no escape plan, route and tools. When planning the next plan, Lynn realized painfully that he was alone and that intelligence was fighting on the battlefield - personal heroism would never be a big deal!

As the days of the atomic bomb test explosion approached day by day, all Lynn could do was to wait for opportunities. Whenever the night was late and people couldn't sleep, he always asked himself the same question: The empire has fallen to the end, why can't those who hold power work together to overcome difficulties?

While Lynn was waiting for a lonely and hopelessly, July 15, 1945 arrived. This was the day before the atomic bomb test. The entire base was very busy, with teams of soldiers coming and going, and the roar of cars, trucks and even planes was endless. There seemed to be many tracked vehicles passing by nearby. Lynn wanted to take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to slip away, but the base guards were like the Italian football team's defense line, and in good condition, they were completely unscathed. Oppenheim disappeared early in the morning, and the top physics science

After verified the identity of the doormen, the families also walked through the passage one by one. Except for the technicians who were designated to go to the explosion site for data collection and analysis, the others could only stay in their offices. When all the key figures left, the experimental base with hundreds of technicians still left was like a deserted place that was abandoned. People were unwilling to work and mostly discussed the upcoming atomic bomb tests in private curiosity, but Lin En sat there blankly, drinking coffee one cup after another, with no smell in his mouth.

It turns out that the most comical and ironic thing in the world is not being deceived by a seemingly kind liar or defeated by a seemingly cowardly opponent, but having the ability to be a tiger and leopard, but being firmly trapped in an iron cage at the most critical moment.

It turns out that there is a deep pain in this world called "lostness".

Lynn was unwilling to give up trying. He tried his best to find the last line of opportunities, lunch, toilet, and bathing. He tried all the ways he had imagined before, but they failed without exception and were even discovered by the guards for the last time. The key gentleman and important experts left the base and went to the test site. These American guards put down their usual ideological burdens and regarded Lynn's behavior as a manifestation of pure clumsy and stupidity. While giving ruthless mockery, he repaired the window fence that he had "inadvertently" broken. Looking at the faces of these guys, Lynn wanted to use violence to knock them down sparsely, and then snatch a car and escape quickly, but he finally chose to endure rationally.

The empty base made Lin En destined to be sleepless this night. Powerless, helpless, and inaction made him feel full of loss. Thinking that in the face of the fierce Soviet armor frenzy, he was still able to hold on with his robes and resist the opponent's attack with his iron-blooded will. Now the war is gradually dissipating, and he came here with a strange will. The enemies he faces are neither fierce nor cunning, but they are like invisible bodies, and he doesn't even have the chance to punch!

Are you really no chance, or are you not finding the right way?

The rhetoric he asked made Lynn shudder in the darkness. He suddenly realized that once tomorrow passed, the Americans would officially own nuclear bombs, and the Soviet Union, the only Soviet Union in the world who could confront it, would inevitably acquire atomic bomb technology with great concern. This crack that seemed to follow the historical trajectory was the biggest opportunity in just four years. If this was used to provoke the conflict between the two superpowers and trigger a cold war confrontation in advance, the fierce conflict that would arise when the originally formed world pattern reappeared variables. Since the rise of the US-Soviet hegemony caused the world to fall into the terrifying shadow of nuclear war in the mid-to-late 20th century, and the United States, which ultimately monopolizes the world's hegemony, was bullying the weak at the end of the 20th century and the early 21st century, why couldn't they make a fierce move before they became ferocious beasts?

Arrogant? Evil?

No! Lynn overturned these old-fashioned positions in his heart. The winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy. When he stands at the peak of power, it is time to cut off justice and evil, reason and madness!
