Unit 318 is the biggest secret of the expeditionary force in Myanmar. Except for the people in front of you, no one knows its existence. Even the soldiers guarding it don't know what it does and what kind of unit it is.

In fact, the 318 Research Institute is related to nuclear weapons, and the intelligence collected by Leng Ruxue in the United States was sent here immediately.

And Dr. Qian, whom the colonel just said, is actually our country's future father of two bombs and one star - Qian Xuesen.

No one knows what means Jiang Haoran used to get Dr. Qian, who was still working as an assistant professor at the California Institute of Technology in the United States, here.

And here, there is far more than just such a leading figure in the scientific community. Nuclear physics expert Qian Sanqiang, who is also the founder of my country's two bombs and one star, mathematician Hua Luogeng, geologist Li Siguang and other scientific and technological elites of this period are all here. You can find it here.

Even the famous Soviet physicist and Nobel Prize winner in physics Igor Tam is among them. There are also countless other scientific and technological elites from various countries who are unknown in front of us but have shined in later history.

.

Although developing nuclear weapons is a long process, and the current conditions may not be met at all, Jiang Haoran has been preparing for a rainy day and has been preparing silently.

Because he knows that the key to a country's prosperity and technological take-off is.

After entering the cave, a thick steel door slowly opened from both sides, and the scenery in front suddenly became clear.

The huge hall was brightly lit, and rows of offices were arranged in a semicircle along the hall. Scientific researchers of various colors in white coats were shuttled through in an orderly manner. This was not a cave, but a walk.

Entered a unique office building.

The colonel, Jiang Haoran and his entourage stopped in front of one of the doors, knocked on the door first, and then gently pushed it open. Inside, a group of people in white coats were commenting around a pile of stones.

Hearing the knock on the door, everyone in the house looked sideways. When they saw Jiang Haoran and his party at the door, everyone hurried out. The leader, who was in his thirties, was none other than Dr. Qian.

"Chief, you are here!" Dr. Qian stretched out his right hand from afar and smiled at Jiang Haoran.

The word "chief seat" has long been an exclusive term for Jiang Haoran. Originally, all generals from military officers to commanders could be called "chief seat", but after Jiang Haoran took office, others began to actively avoid the taboo.

"Hello Dr. Qian!"

Jiang Haoran quickly stepped forward and shook hands with everyone one by one. His expression was friendly and natural, and it seemed that this was not the first time they met.

After some pleasantries, Jiang Haoran smiled and said: "I just saw that everyone was in high spirits. Is there anything you are happy about?"

Dr. Qian smiled and said: "It's true that Brother Zhong Gong (also known as Li Siguang) has found a new uranium mine, and the quality is better than what we have found before."

To make an atomic bomb, the first task is to find uranium ore, then mine and process it, and finally enrich uranium-235.

Completing these is only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. To meet the requirements for designing and manufacturing nuclear weapons, complex and precise theoretical calculations and experimental research are still needed, even though they have collected first-hand experience from the United States in this regard.

Jiang Haoran provided them with all the needed talents, materials, and scientific research institutes, but there was still a long way to go in terms of testing, verification, and production processes.

Finding uranium ore was not exciting news for Jiang Haoran. He only valued the results. After echoing their "surprise", he said: "Dr. Qian, according to the current progress, how long do you think we can produce it?"

Nuclear weapons?”

Dr. Qian thought for a while and said: "Within three years, yes, it can definitely be done within three years."

Dr. Qian was full of confidence, but Jiang Haoran sighed in his heart. His dream of throwing nuclear weapons at the heads of the little devils before the United States was completely shattered.

Originally, he thought that with the mature technology of the United States, this process could be greatly shortened, but he ignored the biggest problem. The experts in front of him were still very young and could only be said to be budding academically. How could they compete with Oppenheimer?

How do you compare to figures like Einstein?

Jiang Haoran nodded, and after a few seconds of silence he said, "|Dr. Qian, do you think it is possible to use uranium as a substance to produce a nuclear weapon similar to that of the United States in the shortest possible time? The explosive power may not be as strong, but

Do you want a weapon like that again?”

Dr. Qian frowned, thought for a long time, and shook his head: "It is almost impossible. If this material is not mastered well, we at the scientific research institute may die first, so it is difficult to achieve it quickly."

The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and Jiang Haoran was a little discouraged.

At this time, Qian Sanqiang on the side said: "Chief, I have a plan to produce an artillery shell in the shortest time. It is definitely much more powerful than conventional artillery shells, but it is still far from nuclear weapons."

distance."

"Oh, tell me." Jiang Haoran suddenly became interested.

Qian Sanqiang said: "It is to use liquid hydrocarbons that are easy to vaporize, such as ethylene oxide.

Propylene oxide, methyl acetylene and propylene oxide are used to make a kind of gun. When it is thrown or launched over the target, the liquid fuel is sprinkled on the ground together with the detonator and timer, and the fuel will quickly vaporize into mist.

Dispersed in the air, after a predetermined delay time, they are detonated by the detonator, producing a powerful explosion. Since they almost consume all the oxygen in the nearby air when they explode, people within this range will not be affected by the powerful shock wave.

and heat wave elimination

, will also suffocate due to lack of oxygen, and the power is definitely not small."

Jiang Haoran looked stern and said anxiously: "Are you talking about fuel-air bombs?"

"Fuel air bomb? Yes, the name is very appropriate?"

In this era, there is no such thing as air bombs. In fact, Jiang Haoran does not have this concept either. He has no idea how air bombs are made. But after all, he is a military fan from later generations and knows about the existence of fuel-air bombs.

When Qian Sanqiang said this, he quickly understood.

Fuel-air bombs are actually cloud burst bombs known as sub-nuclear weapons. They were first used by the US Army in the Vietnam War. A fuel-air bomb weighing tens of kilograms can create a large crater with a diameter of ten meters and a depth of five or six meters.

There are no humans or animals within a few hundred meters, and the power is amazing.

The key is that it can also be made into a man-portable weapon, which does not occupy the army establishment, just like the grenade carried by soldiers. Its packaging box is the launch tube, and even the sight is made of plastic. It can be used right out of the box.

That's lost.

Not only can it be used to kill people in large areas and destroy unprotected weapons, such as people on the ground and hiding in ordinary fortifications or houses, aircraft on the tarmac, exposed weapons, radar and radio antennas, etc.; it can also be used in large areas.
