Chapter 1057 Must Have Atomic Bomb Part 1
The European Community Leaders' Meeting, which will be held soon in the plan, was postponed again. Because the great leaders of various countries, including Hitler himself, had no intention of holding any meetings, but stayed at home to watch movies, which were blockbusters of atomic bomb explosions, which were colorful and of very good quality, which truly reflected the shocking scene of the atomic bomb explosion.
People who watch the movie are either ecstatic, in a complicated mood, or are extremely shocked.
Adolf Hitler, a group of Nazi-Host-Government leaders, as well as the German Wehrmacht generals, were undoubtedly ecstatic after watching the blockbuster movie of the atomic bomb explosion.
"We won!" After watching the blockbuster, Hitler began to express his opinions in the film screening room of the Prime Minister's Office. He gestured like he did in a public speech. Although the movements were not that large, everyone could imagine the excitement and joy in his heart.
"All dreams are coming true, the foundation of the Aryan Millennium Empire has been laid, and Germany's status as the leader of the European Community has been unshakable. The United States will also pay the due price for their treason and crimes committed against the German nation and Europe. The era of continuous decline in Europe ended yesterday. From today on, Europe has achieved revival under the leadership of Germany, a glorious, great, rich and orderly Europe will soon appear and last for a thousand years! We have created a Millennium Empire!"
Adolf Hitler suddenly raised his arm and shouted loudly: "Long live the victory!"
"Long live the victory!" Others in the movie screening room also shouted.
Hessman is also in the film screening room, and he is still calm because he has witnessed the amazing scene of the atomic bomb explosion with his own eyes.
"Gentlemen!" he raised his voice, "Yesterday, we opened not only the door to the Millennium Empire, but also a Pandora's box and released a devil named Nuclear weapons! Yes, our German Empire had it first, which was a huge advantage that would allow us to win the leadership of the world and win a strong, united, prosperous European community... All this will become a reality in the next 10, 20 or 30 years.
But here, I would like to remind you two points: First, although we have an atomic bomb, we do not have a carrier to drop the atomic bomb on the United States... Although the theoretical maximum combat radius of our me264 long-range bomber can reach the United States. However, the Heisenberg device we currently own is 4.5 tons. If we want to carry it with a me264, we must obtain a base about 2,500 kilometers away from the east coast of the United States, which can be used as a base for me264 long-range bomber to take off, and this base must be relatively safe.
2. The difficulty of manufacturing the Heisenberg device is lower than expected. With the current technical and industrial strength of the Americans, it is possible to manufacture weapon-grade uranium-235 and plutonium-239 that can be equipped with several atomic bombs within a few years... Technically, this is not too difficult for the United States. According to information, the Americans are building large uranium mines in Canada and are actively seeking ways to extract uranium-235 and plutonium-239. It is likely that reactor tests have been conducted! So there is not much time left for us to defeat the United States."
Because they wanted to use the atomic bomb to strengthen the unity of the European Community and establish Germany's absolute leadership, Germany adopted the "open" nuclear test approach.
Although not everyone knows it, there is no doubt that the big names in the United States of America will get the "blockbusters" that Hitler and Hessman are watching through various channels in a few days.
Moreover, this public display of the nuclear explosion also leaked many key secrets. For example, how big the atomic bomb is, you can infer how many weapon-grade uranium-235 or plutonium-239 are used as charges. This is quite critical data!
For example, how much is the explosion equivalent of the atomic bomb? The data "20,000 tons of explosion equivalent" announced by Dr. Fermi will sooner or later be known by the scientific team of the Manhattan Engineering in the United States.
With these two key data that do not seem to be secret in later generations, the Manhattan project in the United States has a very clear direction for efforts.
The first is of course to accumulate weapon-grade uranium or plutonium. The former can be obtained through electromagnetic separation and gas separation. Since the research on isotope separation (not only uranium and plutonium) has begun long ago, the theoretical and laboratory research of electromagnetic, gas method and gas method have begun long ago, so Americans know the method. The problem is just that design and manufacturing are nothing more than trial and error. The Germans themselves have also spent a lot of money on the research of electromagnetic and gas methods, and have experienced more than 70 failures before they succeed. According to the experience of the Germans, electromagnetic method is the least difficult, and in fact, it is to make giant electromagnets. The key is to have enough electricity and copper (the Americans have used silver in history).
As for plutonium production reactors, it is of course more difficult, mainly because the United States does not have enough uranium oxide to build reactors, so it is impossible to conduct tests for production reactors. However, the uranium mine (which was found before the war) invested and developed by the United States in Ontario, Canada, has entered the stage of mass output, and the experiments for plutonium production reactors will be successful sooner or later.
The second problem is to design the atomic bomb with reference to the appearance of the "Heisenberg Device" and the principle of nuclear fission reaction. Now scientists in Manhattan engineering have basically figured it out. Now, the approximate number of charges required to make the atomic bomb can be judged based on the size and weight of the "Heisenberg Device".
In fact, Americans also obtained similar data through calculations and preliminary reactor tests, and the Heisenberg device only verified the accuracy of their data.
So what we need to consider now is how to design the shape of uranium or plutonium blocks as charges, and how to blow them together. In theory, as long as a sufficient amount of uranium 235 or plutonium 239 is put together, the nuclear fission reaction will occur immediately.
After figuring out the critical value in actual use (it's about it), knowing how to extract uranium-235 or plutonium-239. For the United States, as long as it masters the electromagnetic method (historically invented by American scientist Ernest Lawrence) and then doing it recklessly, the rest is nothing more than design and experiment.
With American technology, you will fail at most a few times and you will always succeed in the end.

In the Palace of Venice in Rome, Mussolini entered the film screening room with his son-in-law, Marquis Ziano, to watch the film since the early morning of June 2. However, the 30-minute short film was watched repeatedly by their father-in-law and son-in-law, and finally they were not in the mood to eat lunch.
I originally thought that the powerful Roman Empire could compete with the European Community and even become the world's number one power in the future, but I didn't expect that the German barbarians in the north already had powerful weapons that could destroy everything!
The poor Roman Empire was so miserable next to these German barbarians who had terrible weapons.
"God! Do these Germanic barbarians want to destroy the world?" Mussolini finally didn't want to watch the movie anymore. He said to his son-in-law, "I must go to Berlin in person... to please the corporal Prime Minister and the Germanic god of war to prevent this terrible weapon from being used in Rome!"
"Use it in Rome?" Ziano was shocked by Mussolini's words, "No, something so terrible wouldn't have happened?"
"Who knows?" Mussolini glared with his eyes wide and showed an exaggerated expression. "Anyway, we can't offend them... If they want a battleship, just give it. There is no way. At least before we have this weapon, we must treat the Germans carefully."
"We...we also want to build nuclear fission bombs?"
"Of course!" Mussolini waved his fist, "The Roman Empire is a world power, so it must have nuclear bombs... The Germans have it, and we Romans must have it too! Otherwise, the Roman Empire will sooner or later become a vassal of the German barbarians, and even survival will have problems. Italy... After all, it is also a part of Europe!"
Mussolini paused, "Also, you will go to Switzerland with a copy of this video right away!"
Ziano was stunned, "Go to Switzerland?"
"Go to Switzerland!" Mussolini said, "Send a copy of the video to Hopkins...I think President Roosevelt should also see it."

Hiroshima and Tadao Yokoi finally returned to their motherland, Japan in the early morning of June 3, Tokyo time.
The two of them have never met each other since June 1st. When they got off the plane, they were a little drowsy.
However, they still had no way to rest. The car sent by the Prime Minister's Minister's House was waiting at the airport. The two got off the plane with "film" and got on the car and went straight to the Prime Minister's House. When they arrived there, they were immediately taken to the movie screening room by Hideki Tojo's adjutant, which was already crowded with large navy and army leaders in military uniforms.
Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Navy Minister Ioroku Yamamoto, Chief of Staff Moto Sugiyama, Navy Commander Nagao Cultivation, and Army Aviation Headquarters Director Yasuda Takeo, who is responsible for Japan's nuclear program, all gathered together, stretched his neck and waited for the movie.
Hiroshima personally handed the film to the administrator of the screening room, and then sat in an empty seat between Tojo Hideki and Takeo Yasuda.
"Oshima-kun, is it really 20,000 tons equivalent?" Yasuda, who sat on the left of Oshima, asked the question before the movie began.
"Oh," Hiroshima responded, "It looks amazing, and the explosion of air waves can be felt 20 kilometers away. As for the 20,000 tons equivalent, it was announced by Enlik Fermi's people."
"Fermi? It turns out that he is working for the Germans too..." Takeo Yasuda took a breath, "If it were what he said, then half of it would be wrong. A 4.5-ton bomb can produce 20,000 tons of equivalents, which is so terrible!"
Chapter completed!
