London.

The news from China made Charlotte Roosevelt's face very unsightly.

Apparently Vale has been active, and since April there have been almost daily anti-war rally, and the FBI reports that Vale's bosses are in frequent contact with various conglomerates, especially those in the west who are dissatisfied with the eastern conglomerates, and almost every one of them has close ties with Vale.

It can be felt that after the armistice with Russia, Lin Youde finally plans to make waves in the United States.

Charlotte couldn't help but think that maybe she should have claimed that Lin Youde was responsible for the bombing and threw the black pot on Lin Youde's head. In this way, at least there will be no strange factions in the country that advocate an armistice with Lin Youde and at the same time strengthen the offensive against the Ming Kingdom.

Of course Charlotte is not stupid, he knows that after the truce with Lin Youde, Lin Youde will have 110 million ways to help the Ming Kingdom resist the United States, and now the quagmire of the Ming Kingdom is terrible enough, plus one Lin Youde, then the United States will not have enough troops in the Ming Empire.

And if Lin Youde was allowed to take the blame at the beginning, he could at least make a truce with Ming and concentrate on sweeping Europe.

Charlotte thought and regretted it, and entered the conference room with such feelings.

Then she noticed that Churchill's brow was furrowed, and his expression was very stern.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency Prime Minister?"

"Our brilliant intelligence officer has sent information that shows that Lin Youde is building an airfield in the desert of Egypt."

"It's just an airport, worthy of your ......, Your Excellency Prime Minister," Charlotte stopped talking suddenly, vaguely aware of something, so she asked, "where is that airport in the desert?" ”

"Depths." Churchill paused, "In a desert oasis, there is no one around except for the occasional desert caravanserais. ”

"Damn," Charlotte cursed, "this looks like a weapons testing ground by all means......"

"Why?" Eisenhower, who had followed Charlotte in, asked curiously, "To make such a judgment just because there is no man's land around?" ”

"That's right, because there is only one weapon that needs to be real in a place where there is no man's land all around. That is the kind of weapon that provoked a massive mutation in Cyprus. Charlotte's expression was very stern.

Eisenhower's expression suddenly turned blue.

"But," he asked, "haven't we already determined that the one in Cyprus was an accident?" ”

"Do you know how champagne was invented?" Charlotte glanced at Eisenhower, "Originally, the monk's goal was to make the wine purer and reduce the bubbles in the wine, but it turned out to be the world's first sparkling wine. It was an accident that created the champagne. Again, Cyprus may have been an accident, but Lin Youde has the best scientists, and it is entirely possible for them to artificially reproduce the accident. The only problem is that the accident in Cyprus left Lin Youde's daughter in a coma for a long time, and I don't think Lin Youde is a person who would use his daughter as a bomb. ”

"Or maybe they've found a way not to put his daughter in danger." Churchill said with a gloomy face, "Either way, we have to sabotage his real plan, or we have to steal their technology, and I know that the United States has started to study the correspond, and I want to know how it is going now." ”

"There's not any progress worth mentioning yet," Charlotte shook her head, "I don't think we'll be able to catch up with Lin Youde anytime soon." ”

"But you have an alternative plan, right?"

Churchill's words made Charlotte frown.

"We do have a lot of plans, I don't know which one you mean?"

"I heard you're making some kind of weapon in a place called Oak Ridge?" Churchill smiled halfway through speaking, because Charlotte's subtle change in expression made Churchill realize that the information obtained by the intelligence agencies was indeed true, "Miss Charlotte, don't you think you should be open and honest at such a time?" ”

"There is nothing mysterious about it," Charlotte shrugged, "and the brilliant intelligence officers of the British Empire should know that our country has been looking for a conventional force that can counter the Divine Queen, and for this purpose we have conducted extensive research, even at the cost of fiddling with the nucleus. Our scientists believe that if they want to create the same protection as the magic armor of the god without relying on the power of the magic, the existing elements are not enough, so they plan to find new elements, but the atomic number of the elements exceeding uranium is too small in nature, so they plan to artificially create elements that they call transuranic elements, and find something that can be used to make armor. ”

"It's unbelievable," Greenwood sighed softly, "that you are planning to make something that may not exist in nature?" How does this look like something Lin Youde's men would do? ”

"I might as well tell you that Lin Youde's theory has a very good market in our country," Charlotte said lightly, "and we went to war with Lin Youde not because of a conflict of ideas, but because it was not good for us to let him sweep Europe." Among the supporters in my country, a large part of them supported me and Lin Youde for the reason of going to war simply because 'Lin Youde supported the new Ming government', and if the Ming Dynasty had not broken out in revolution, I am afraid that it would be much more difficult for me to get the parliament to pass a decision to go to war. ”

Such blunt words made the British bureaucrats look at each other, except for Churchill, who stared at Charlotte and asked, "You are looking for a new element to make armor, and then what?" ”

"Remember what I just said about the invention of champagne?" Charlotte asked rhetorically, "We also made unexpected discoveries under unexpected circumstances. We tried to get the atomic sequence of uranium to rise and become new elements, only to find that our bombardment guide uranium split into two elements with lower atomic numbers, and in the process, we observed a considerable amount of energy release. We don't know where this energy comes from, we don't know how this qiē happens, but we observe the release of energy. Not only that, but the fission of uranium also emits neutrons outward, which led our scientists to think that if you gather a large amount of uranium together and let one of them fission, a chain reaction will take place, which we call a chain reaction. ”

"And then there's a huge amount of energy, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"However, you can tell us such a secret so simply......"

Charlotte interrupted Churchill with a smile: "Do you think that if I tell you the basic principles, you will be able to make the same weapon?" You couldn't be more wrong, you still have countless technical hurdles to overcome, and there's no difference between knowing the principle and not knowing anything. By the way, my advisors are pretty sure that Lin Youde also knows the principle of this weapon, after all, he has Marie Curie on his side. ”

"I see," Churchill said, "that's why he's looking for uranium in Australia." ”

"Exactly, but my men have thwarted his search for uranium, and it is said that he is furious about it." Charlotte looked a little proud, but this expression disappeared immediately, "Lin Youde is really terrible, what our scientist discovered by chance, he actually knew about it at about the same time, no, if he went to the uranium mine when he set up the Vale, then he probably knew about the existence of this weapon before my scientist, so I sometimes always wonder if we are fighting against the most terrible god stick in history." ”

Churchill nodded slowly.

"Prophet...... Although this statement may sound unreliable, when you think about it, it is indeed the most consistent with what we have actually observed. Maybe we're fighting an uncertain prophet. ”

Churchill paused, and then asked, "So is it possible for Lin Youde to make this kind of weapon?" ”

"Based on the information we have so far, Germany should not have built a device that can carry out a controlled fission reaction, and the capacity of the uranium separation facility is not enough to produce enough raw materials." Charlotte said in an affirmative tone, "So don't worry about this for the time being, think about it from another angle, if the fission weapon goes well, Lin Youde won't have to focus so much on the study of the Cyprus incident, right?" ”

"And when can we use this weapon?" Churchill continued to ask.

"No comment." Charlotte smiled at Churchill.

Churchill clearly bit his lip, clearly unhappy with Charlotte's answer, but he didn't say anything.

**

A few days later, late at night, Potsdam, Germany.

"Well," Lin Youde groaned, putting down the report submitted by the Eye of Odin and looking up at the fox, "So the Americans have actually started making big mushrooms a long time ago?" ”

"Looks like it."

"But they don't know why there is a release of energy?"

"That's what Charlotte said, I don't know if she's lying." The fox shrugged his shoulders, "After all, this is just what Charlotte said at the meeting, which the big mole of England summed up, and if Charlotte wants to be British, we can't confirm it." ”

Lin Youde smacked his lips.

"In other words, the world has found a way to make an atomic bomb without Einstein and with almost zero basic theories of quantum physics?" Lin Youde pondered for a moment, "Well, it doesn't seem to be surprising, after all, the exploration of atomic physics in space-time here has actually been going on, but I didn't expect the level of the United States in this regard to keep pace with another space-time." Artificially manufactured transuranic elements in search of materials suitable for making zuò armor...... Because of this whimsical reason, the fission reaction was discovered by mistake...... It reminds me of a novel from my original time and space. ”

"Novels?" The fox asked with some interest, "What novel?" ”

"It was Yan Leisheng or who wrote a novel about the Ming Dynasty's arms department accidentally collecting enough weapons-grade uranium, and then creating the first nuclear explosion in human history, that is, the explosion of Wang Gongchang." Lin Youde shook his head, "Of course, the plot of this novel is basically impossible to happen, but to say that the United States discovered the fission reaction by mistake, it suddenly feels like it's not so strange......"

"So now the situation is that we have to build something with the same power before the Americans make that thing called the atomic bomb?"

Lin Youde spread his hands: "I'm afraid so." I am afraid that future military operations will revolve around this. It would be better to rush the Italian dockyards to hurry up and complete the overhaul of the Ming fleet. Maybe they'll be needed soon. ”

"Shouldn't you raid the factory in Oak Ridge at this time?" The fox asked, "How about letting Lin Guokai plan an action?" ”

"And then sacrifice the entire Vale? No, no, no. However, it is true that you can consider disgusting the Americans," Lin Youde thought for a moment, "I have to discuss it with Scholes, I remember that his commando team has German Americans who have rushed back from the United States to fight. ”
