Chapter 678 Accident

Oppenheimer was extremely tired after a day of hard work. He had just walked out of the Center for Theoretical Physics named after him, and everything seemed so beautiful.

It would be better if the lovely Jenny was by his side.

Oppenheimer was walking around the University of California, Berkeley, smoking a pipe and looking at the starry night sky. He couldn't help but think about emotional issues after putting down his work.

For Oppenheimer, he is not young at all. He was born in 1904. He is currently 35 years old, but he has been in the stage of studying and teaching before. After meeting Jenny in 1936, this famous American

The physicist pursued her crazily, and he made a lot of jokes during this process, but for Oppenheimer, he didn't care at all, because he felt that he had found the true love of his life.

Unfortunately, Jane Tetlock did not respond to his pursuit, which made him secretly sad. However, although Jane did not agree to his pursuit, Oppenheimer still thought of her from time to time, especially in his free time.

This is especially true at times.

After walking along the road to the parking lot, picking up his car, Oppenheimer drove home.

But he didn't notice that a black car was following him at a distance. When Oppenheimer passed by a remote intersection and was waiting for a red light, he saw this car rush out and hit his car.

tail.

Oppenheimer got out of the car after being hit. The headlights of the accident car dazzled him so much that he couldn't open his eyes. "How are you driving? Didn't you see the red light?"

Anyone would be unhappy if they were hit by a car, and Oppenheimer was certainly no exception.

A man got out of the car that caused the accident, took a look at the situation of the hit vehicle, and apologized repeatedly. "I'm sorry, I didn't notice the car in front of me. I'm sorry that I hit your car. I'm Lal."

Husband, this is our business card, and I will bear all the losses to you."

Oppenheimer smelled a strong smell of alcohol from the man's mouth, and it seemed that he was a drunk man. However, Oppenheimer, who came from a wealthy family, waved his hand at the request of the man named Ralph to compensate himself.

He signaled, "No, I can just drive it back and fix it myself."

After saying that, Oppenheimer planned to return to the car.

"How is this possible? I must be responsible for the damage I caused."

The man named Ralph hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his business card to hand it to him. Oppenheimer felt a little sorry for not taking it, so he reached out to take it. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly grabbed him. At this time, this man

The man named Ralph was still half drunk. He was about to shout for help when a handkerchief with a pungent smell suddenly covered his mouth and nose.

"This is ether..."

These were Oppenheimer's last thoughts.

After Oppenheimer was charmed, the man put him back into the passenger seat of his own car and drove away in the main driver's seat. The car behind him also followed him. The original car

There were two people inside, but in order to prevent Oppenheimer from becoming defensive, only one came out to negotiate.

After the vehicle reached a cliff, the two people put it on the driver's seat and at the same time took out a bottle of liquor and poured it into the vehicle. After all was done, they started the car.

The car carrying Oppenheimer was seen driving forward slowly following the gazes of the two people, and then fell off the cliff.

After finishing all this, the two people drove away in silence.

The next day, major media outlets in the United States published news that the famous physicist Oppenheimer had died in a car accident.



Edel in Romania knew about it earlier than the American media.

"I really don't think that Mr. Oppenheimer passed away at such a young age."

At the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Edel expressed his views on this matter to Einstein, Edward Teller, Schrödinger, Fermi and others present.

As for Fermi's arrival, that's another story. It's just that Fermi couldn't stand Italy's anti-Semitic policies (his wife is Jewish) and wanted to leave. Romania's warm invitation, coupled with the promotion of Jewish organizations behind it, finally let Fermi

Mi chose to come to Romania.

And Edel is of course happy for many physicists to gather together to build it, and with their promotion, Romania's first atomic reactor is about to be built. So Edel came here not only to see the reactor, but also to give these

Scientists cheer.

But Edel's inspection tour would be like this, and he could not do anything except say a few words of thanks to the people in the laboratory.

Moreover, listening to the various data on nuclear reactors introduced by Polkesba was like listening to a bible, and it was a bible that was completely incomprehensible. This also fully exposed the fact that Edel did not have a high degree of education in his previous life (joking).

After the inspection, Edel called Polkesba alone. "It will take a long time to complete the entire result."

Polkesba, who was the only one who knew the entire plan, said after careful consideration, "It will take 7-9 years, and that's assuming there are enough funds and everything goes well."

Edel felt irritated after hearing Polkesba's words, but he did not show it. Instead, he smiled and encouraged. "I am very satisfied that the research and development can be completed at this time. Go ahead and do it boldly."

After leaving the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Edel's face suddenly darkened. He had done so many things in order to make Romania's nuclear research go smoothly, but this was the result.

Yes, it was indeed Edel who ordered the purchase of the pitchblende ore in Congo. This is not because Romania wants to use the uranium ore here. Currently, sandstone-type uranium deposits have been discovered in Transylvania, and in the former Bulgaria

Sliven also has sandstone uranium mines, so Romania’s uranium demand does not need to be imported from outside.

Moreover, countries around the world currently do not pay enough attention to uranium and have little insight into the development of uranium mines. Therefore, when countries want to conduct nuclear research, Congo's Hingarobwe pitch uranium will become a priority. And Edel is currently most worried about it.

It is the United States whose national power alarms Edel. In order to delay the United States, seizing the uranium mine first is an inevitable choice.

Although the United States can mine domestically by then, it will take time, at least half a year of preparation, to mine uranium ore. And by then, as long as there is a small accident, it is very normal for uranium ore production to be intermittent. In fact, it is very normal for uranium ore production to be interrupted.

We can't afford to delay it. Even if it explodes, it will delay time. Not to mention how many Jewish physicists have been detained in Romania.

It’s just that Edel’s efforts will still take Romania 7-9 years.

It seems that it is impossible to complete the research on nuclear bombs before 1946. Since Romania cannot speed up, other countries cannot speed up.

Thinking of this, Edel ordered the guard. "Have Holmonkman come to the palace immediately. I have something to ask him."

Looking at His Majesty with a somewhat gloomy expression, the guard quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

In the following months, many well-known physicists in the United States, including John von Neumann, suffered accidents. This caused a huge sensation in the United States, and all the research on this matter has not been completed.

clue.

Edel, who was far away in Romania, only said one thing to Hall Monkman: "Therefore, there must be no mistakes in the destruction of the data."
