Chapter 1661 Centrifuge
You can't be rushing to achieve success. Shrek is the most terrifying thing to help grow. Cialis deeply understands this truth. Now, Germany does not need to catch up with the progress. Germany is the strongest in all aspects of the era. In contrast, Americans need to catch up with the progress, but it is not that easy to catch up with Germany.
Far away North Africa, Libya.
When the war in Europe was in full swing, it was still relatively safe and had not been baptized by the war. At the same time, the production capacity of the main oil-producing area in Libya, the Amal Oilfield, has reached its highest level.
Every day, tens of thousands of barrels of oil arrive at the port through the oil pipeline and then export it to Europe through the port. This has become one of Germany's main crude oil supply points.
There are kowtow machines everywhere on the oil field, working day and night, forming a busy scene.
And deeper than the oil field, there is an oasis in the desert. Now, this oasis is under strict protection from Germany and is a secret weapon research and development base for Germany.
This place was first opened. When Cialick first opened the place, it was ridiculed. They thought Cialick must be crazy and actually thought there was something in this desert that was invincible.
As a result, the facts slapped those who saw jokes in the face, letting them know that Cirick was the greatest prophet of the century, and everything he said was right.
The German bases in the desert have always been the biggest secret. Even if someone knows it, they cannot come in and destroy it. A large number of guard forces, anti-aircraft artillery and fighter jets will make any invading enemy pay the price of death. The only thing that can destroy it is ballistic missiles.
Unfortunately, only Germany has it in this era.
At this time, a larger power station had been established in the center of the base. From the towering chimneys, there was a faint blue smoke, which was not the appearance of the ore burning.
This is the largest power station in Libya, and the electricity generated is enough for the entire Libya to use.
Of course, backward Libya does not need so much electricity, most of the electricity is produced and sold by itself.
Just on the other side of the base, from the outside, there was nothing unusual, but the ground was rumbling all the time, showing that there were huge mechanical equipment underground.
It is actually very easy to build underground buildings in the desert.
First use an excavator to dig out the sand, then use reinforced concrete to pour out the factory building, and then cover the top with sand. A large centrifuge factory is formed.
The factory, which started operation only last year, is the next key project in Germany's nuclear program.
At this time, in the factory, Heisenberg, the leader of atomic physics in Germany, was walking around the factory with his assistant Hahn, which was their daily routine itinerary.
Both of them were burning in their hearts, a flame of passionate work, a flame of desire for the upcoming atomic age.
The desert is boring, but they have their own careers here, so they can work here for more than ten years. Only when necessary can they return to Europe, either to buy various materials or report to Head of Cialique.
Germany's atomic plan went through two important time points. The first was that Heisenberg brought experts to Libya to establish a base. At that time, it was based on the nuclear fission equation proposed by Cialek.
When uranium 235 was difficult to find, uranium 238 was burned in the reactor and turned into plutonium 239, achieving more and more nuclear raw materials. Germany's first atomic bomb was also formulated as a plutonium bomb.
Later, they built a small experimental reactor in Libya, confirming that the equation of Head Cialek was fine. The more you burned, the more you burned, it was finally born in their hands.
However, if there is only one small nuclear reactor, it is too slow to burn enough nuclear raw materials.
So, in 38 years, Cialek and Head of State Hitler visited the base. After learning about the difficulties here, they immediately made a decision to build a larger reactor, accelerate combustion, and obtain nuclear raw materials!
The power station outside was built at that time, and the plutonium-239 burned there could put the manufacturing of atomic bombs on the agenda.
At that time, after some serious consideration, Heisenberg agreed to a plan to detonate a nuclear bomb within four years.
From 38 to 42 years, the test explosion of nuclear bombs has been carried out, which is the fastest.
(There are many big guys who are thinking about mushroom bullets in front. The hero of East China thought he had delayed it. Later, he flipped forward and said it clearly in Chapter 298 that it was detonated in 1942. You can flip forward and take a look.)
After the large-scale nuclear reactor was built, Heisenberg suddenly discovered that there was another new problem.
The purpose of building a nuclear reactor is to burn out nuclear raw materials, but it is too wasteful if it is just to burn nuclear raw materials. So when designing, this is a giant power station that emits sufficient electricity.
Now, there is power, so let’s just launch the uranium bomb project!
In nature, more than 98% of the people are uranium-238, and the one that is prone to fission is uranium-235. Therefore, in order to reduce the difficulties, Cialek proposed a solution to burn uranium-238 into plutonium-239, which is the plutonium bomb.
At the same time, there is another way, which is to use the principle of centrifugal motion to separate two isotopes with different atomic weights, just like the principle of throwing water out of the washing machine to throw uranium-238 out, and the remaining part in the center is uranium-235.
This requires repeated centrifugation and a large amount of ore.
Now, these conditions are met. As Germany occupied the entire Europe, it obtained a large amount of uranium ore. At the same time, when the power station here was established, sufficient power supply was enough to provide stable energy for the centrifuge.
In addition, the imperial finances improved, after the european Europe, all wealth was concentrated in Germany, and another billion euros were drawn to injected into the current projects. It can be said that nothing is missing.
Standing in front of the huge centrifuge, listening to the rumbling sound inside, both of them were surging.
The war in Europe ended, the Soviet Union was conquered, and the United States was left. Our side must speed up!
