Chapter 1871: Manhattan

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just before Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt had approved the Vannevar-Bush plan.  In this plan, the government allocated a large amount of funds for the development and manufacture of atomic bombs.  At the beginning, this plan was just a research project, but after a few months, the project officially started, requiring a large number of people to join in, and even the US Army's engineering corps participated in the construction of facilities for the production of atomic bombs.

    ?Because the project is too large, a name is needed. Some people suggested to call this place "Alternative Materials Development Laboratory", but this name was not adopted.  Leslie Groves, a participant and leader of the project, went to work in Manhattan, New York, and saw the "Manhattan Project District" written on the sign above.  So, he immediately made a decision, and simply called this development plan "Manhattan Engineering District"!  As a result, this name accompanied the entire plan for the development of the atomic bomb, and was also referred to simply as the "Manhattan Project" or "Manhattan Area".

    The specific location of the project is in Los Alamos, New Mexico in the west. Of course, now Qin Baoshan and others don't know where they are on the map.

    "My friend. I hope you can know that the place we are about to reach has a very high level of secrecy. Therefore, we must abide by the discipline of secrecy, don't read what you can't see, don't ask what you can't ask, we are only responsible for our company  If there is a leak, our company will also be responsible." In the car, Carl said.

    Hearing Carl's words, Qin Baoshan nodded. Of course he knew that the secrecy of this place was very high, even Major Cromlin, who sent them over, had no chance to come in with him.  Qin Baoshan's bodyguard, Wei Dayong, was also not allowed in.  But Qin Baoshan strongly demanded to come together, so as to protect his personal safety.  Although Karl explained for a long time, it was useless, so Karl had no choice but to describe Wei Dayong as a technician who came with him, so that he was qualified to come in

    At this time, they were driving on the road in a car.  The glass of the car is black, and it is impossible to see anything outside.  Only a small piece of glass in front of the driver can see the route, and three groups of drivers were changed along the way, and each driver was only responsible for a section of the road he drove.

    It can also be seen how high the level of secrecy is.  At this time, Qin Baoshan secretly thought it was funny.  The level of secrecy is so high that even Karl himself doesn't know what the research is here.  But Qin Baoshan knew clearly in his heart that it was just the Manhattan Project, wasn't it just to build a few nuclear bombs?  In a few years, China will also be able to manufacture nuclear bombs.

    Of course he was slandering in his heart, but on the surface he couldn't say it like this. Qin Baoshan nodded again and again: "Yes, I know, the degree of secrecy here is very high, please rest assured, I will not read and talk nonsense. But although I told  You have gone, and you can't pin your hopes on me, I can't guarantee that I will be able to help, after all, I am not familiar with your equipment."

    Qin Baoshan came with him and made it clear that he was here to visit.  Qin Baoshan didn't pat his chest and promise to help them solve the problem. When the time came, he would come with him, but he didn't show his ability. So these Americans should not be too disappointed.

    Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Karl nodded helplessly.  How can they rely on Qin Baoshan if their own technicians don't have a solution?  Call him over, just feel that Qin Baoshan is very powerful, maybe he can be whimsical again and help them solve the problem successfully.

    The car drove for several hours in the dense forest.  Qin Baoshan knew that at this time, on any map in the world, there would be no standard here. In fact, this is the place to open Pandora's box.

    Qin Baoshan will not come into contact with the most secret things, and even he will not come into contact with those core areas that actually manufacture nuclear weapons.  Their location is just a peripheral area, and the equipment produced by Chrysler is used to vacuum the equipment here.

    Nuclear weapons are very mysterious, but the principle is very simple. It is the chain reaction of atomic nuclei, which belongs to the field of nuclear physics, or atomic physics. When studying these, a vacuum environment is often used.  Because those emitted microscopic particles are very small in size, if they hit the dust in the air, they will change direction.  In order to study these things, a vacuum must be pumped to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results.

    There are several large particle accelerators here, all of which need to be vacuumed. Chrysler has provided vacuuming equipment, but there are problems with their equipment. No matter how they operate, they cannot achieve the required vacuum.

    The company's technicians are very anxious. They have already disassembled and assembled the equipment here.?After studying for a long time, they carried out various grindings, hoping to improve the accuracy, but they still failed to meet the requirements.  These people were completely hopeless, so they asked the head office for technical assistance, so they found Karl.

    Vacuuming is actually very simple.  In essence, it is somewhat similar to the engine.  There are pistons, cylinders, intake valves and exhaust valves.  Continuously pump out the air inside the target device, and then shoot it outside. After reaching a certain level, the standard of vacuuming can be reached.  The vacuum degree of vacuuming depends on the precision of these devices.

    When Carl went in, a large group of people were still there studying.  They range from engineers to the most experienced technicians.  But they couldn't complete the task, and now they finally cheered up when they saw the arrival of reinforcements.

    "Karl, you're finally here. Come help us, fix this damn technical problem."

    Robert, the person in charge here, greeted Carl. After the greeting, he found that there were a few people he didn't know. He was a little curious.

    "They are the technicians I invited to help us troubleshoot." Carl said coldly.  In many cases, he behaved very coldly.  If he were more enthusiastic now, maybe Robert would ask this and that, causing him unnecessary trouble.  So Karl simply showed his previous indifference again.

    Hear him say this.  Although Robert felt that there was a problem, he couldn't continue to ask. If he had to ask again, this Carl would have to go crazy.  When the time comes, Karl turns around and leaves, what can we do here?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
