"General Shrek, the direction you specified is indeed correct!" At this time, in an office of Berlin University, several people were very excited. They wore glasses and looked like full scholars!

Now, the speaker is Hahn, one of the most famous chemists in Germany. He is in his fifties this year. His hair is beginning to turn white. His spirit is very good at this time.

As a scientist, what he wants most is to win a Nobel Prize. Now, Hahn seems to have seen the Nobel Prize waving to him!

Of course, not only Hahn, but also his assistant, strasman, contributed to this discovery!

What did you find? The greatest discovery of the 20th century! Nuclear fission!

Historically, this was an unexpected discovery.

In 1938, the scientific community had made such a discovery that uranium produced some after neutron irradiation β Radionuclides, but many scientists believe that they are transuranic elements.

Only Hahn and strasman, after carefully identifying the products of the nuclear reaction, confirmed that one of them was radioactive barium. What does this mean? Uranium nuclear fission, into a new nuclear!

In Einstein's theory, the fission of atomic nucleus will be accompanied by the loss of mass and the release of energy!

Because of this contribution, Hahn won the 1944 Nobel Prize in chemistry!

Now, two years earlier than in history, they have made this discovery! This is thanks to a meeting held by hilrick for these scientists six months ago!

At the meeting, Shrek expounded his emphasis on nuclear physics and pointed out some directions.

However, many people disapprove of what Shrek said.

A soldier, when will he intervene in the scientific community, young man? Do you know how atomic nuclei are composed?

Many people have prejudices against Shrek. After all, Shrek has no prestige in the scientific community.

Only Hahn listened, took his assistant and did a lot of experiments. Finally, he confirmed the correctness of hilrick's statement. If he bombarded the uranium nucleus with slow neutrons, he could fission!

This is a discovery that shocked the whole scientific community!

Hilrick was called out late at night. That's why, at this time, almost all the experts in nuclear physics in Germany came!

"First of all, I congratulate you on your amazing discovery." Chirac rubbed his eyes and said to the beaming Hahn and his assistant, "at the same time, for the sake of Germany, I hope you can keep your discovery confidential and can't publish it publicly for the time being."

"Why?" Suddenly, Hahn was stunned.

"For Germany." Hilrick said, "I believe everyone knows what this discovery means. Atomic nuclei can be fissioned and can release a lot of energy. If these energy is released smoothly, it will bring convenience to our life. For example, they can become a source of electricity. If they are released violently in a short time, it is a weapon. "

How did the United States begin to study nuclear weapons in later generations? At first, it was found that all the academic papers on nuclear physics disappeared. As a result, Einstein and other guys couldn't sit still. They realized that Germany might be studying nuclear weapons!

Therefore, they wrote to Roosevelt to study the nuclear bomb secretly. As a result, Germany gave up and the United States succeeded.

Now, for example, no one has discovered the fission of the atomic nucleus. If we keep this secret from now on, Einstein and others will not notice anything.

Germany, from now on, will secretly carry out research and development!

"We have endured for more than ten years. We will never continue to endure." "Maybe you are not interested in politics, but I want to say that only Germany is strong can we have a future. If other countries, such as Britain and the United States, succeed in manufacturing this atomic weapon, it will be our end."

Shirek, who comes from later generations, certainly knows a lot. There are many reasons why Germany failed to develop the atomic bomb. The slackness of these scientists at present must be on the one hand and the wrong direction of research on the other.

And now, they must not continue to follow the old path!

"Our current research has two goals. In peacetime, let nuclear energy be released smoothly and serve our country and people. In wartime, let it become a Spartak sword hanging above the enemy!" Chirac continued: "everyone present is a hero of Germany. Although you will be unknown now, your deeds will be written into our textbooks and become a household hero in the future."

"I always believe that it is not politicians but scientists who change history!" Hilrick continued: "science is the driving force to promote the development of the world, and we have opened the door to the use of atomic energy!"

With encouragement and instigation, Shrek hopes his efforts will work.

"General Shrek, don't be too optimistic." At this time, Heisenberg, a famous scientist and a veteran of the German scientific community, spoke: "now, only the fission of uranium nucleus has been observed in the laboratory, which is still far from practical application."

At this time, Heisenberg has put away the previous contempt and solemnly explained to hilrick: "first of all, we need a large number of uranium raw materials. In nature, the content of uranium 238 is the highest in uranium ore, and uranium 235 is less than 1%. Our experiments have proved that only uranium 235 can split."

If it had been in the past, Heisenberg would never have talked more nonsense with Chirac, but now that it has been proved that Chirac is correct, Heisenberg will communicate with Chirac as a person in the scientific community.

Whether you want to build a nuclear reactor or a nuclear bomb, you need the purity of nuclear raw materials to be high enough. It is not so easy to enrich uranium 235 in uranium ore.

In later generations, if you want to use uranium to make nuclear bombs, you need centrifuges to enrich uranium 235. This way of investment is huge and the effect is very poor.

"Yes, it's a problem, but it's actually easy to solve." Xierik's hand picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a nuclear reaction equation that future high school students would write on the small blackboard: "uranium 238 can't split, but when it captures neutrons, it can become plutonium 239, plutonium 239, which is easy to fission."

In contrast, making plutonium bombs is much easier than uranium bombs! Because this method no longer requires centrifuges. It only needs to burn continuously in the reactor and burn uranium into plutonium!
