Faced with the not-too-optimistic situation, Hoffman had to calm down and asked with a smile: "Tell me what you plan to do next."

"From the refining process, the difficulty and complexity of refining from low abundance to high abundance have a geometric index. Generally, uranium-5, which acts as energy, only requires 3-5% abundance, while weapon grades may require 90% or even 95% abundance raw materials. The same time and energy may be used to extract 100% abundance elements, but 80% abundance elements cannot be extracted. Based on the current limitations, if only 5% abundance raw materials are extracted, a full capacity of 5% abundance can be extracted in one month. "Heisenberg paused and said, "I insist that refining low abundance raw materials to make reactors provides more practical and strategic value than refining high abundance raw materials to make bombs. Theoretical calculations show that the nuclear raw materials produced in 2-3 months can drive a submarine of oo tons."

"Submarine?" Speer interjected, "How to do it?"

"The reactor will provide enough electricity. The submarine does not need fuel supply at all. As long as the air can keep up, you can stay under the sea as long as you want. If the reinforced reactor is used on large warships, you don't need to replenish heavy oil at all. You can drive as long as you want..." Hoffman said that it was nuclear power!

Sper's face was shocked, and Heisenberg nodded repeatedly: "Yuan's statement is very vivid, basically that's it."

Mirch seized the opportunity and asked: "If you are installed on the plane, can you fly unlimitedly without landing for supplies?"

"This..." Heisenberg looked puzzled, "I'm afraid it won't work. The reactor will weigh dozens of tons and need water or other things to cool it. It's too big or too heavy, and it won't work on an airplane. Submarines or large warships are fine at all, and it will even save space more than traditional power plants."

"Oh!" The Air Marshal sighed. The nuclear-powered global fighter in his dream was completely destroyed before it was formed!

Hoffman fell into deep thought: Heisenberg, as a representative of the energy school, has been sold in front of him more than once, the key is that he is not sure about this guy's true intention.

Later generations have three analyses about Heisenberg's calculation error and have always adhered to the energy school's view:

First, he didn't understand the principle of the atomic bomb at all, so the theoretical viewpoints and computational data were wrong;

Second, he knew that the entire system was like a "pineapple" in his conversation with Mirch, but he was unwilling to help the Third Reich make it because he thought it was immoral to make such bombs, so he deliberately exaggerated the difficulty and time, which was also the point Heisenberg himself stated after the war. Hoffmann privately asked Mirch, who denied that he had heard the words "pineapple", but Hoffmann did not want to simply deny this inference, because Mirch is now different from the historical trajectory and had been separated from the uranium project in the middle;

Third, he knew the entire system and was willing to make bombs, but because of the constraints of practical difficulties, he was too confident that the United States could not create such bombs, so he eventually gave up.

But Heisenberg was an academic authority after all, Hoffman nodded quietly and became silent. When everyone saw Yuan was silent, they all followed.

"Professor Heisenberg's idea is very good. This should be an epoch-making energy. Just like replacing a coal-burning boiler with heavy oil boilers back then, it caused a major change in warships. Maybe we can use it in the next war, and maybe it will be good to build a nuclear power plant for civilians. But what we need most is a final weapon, not a secret energy. Professor Bott, can I listen to your ideas?"

"Dear Yuan, I think your request is correct. Making bombs is indeed more important than developing new energy. Of course, I admit that Professor Heisenberg's point of view is correct. At present, we do not have the factor of large-scale refining, so..."

"Suppose, now that there are enough raw materials, can we theoretically estimate the power and lethality of the bomb?"

"This..." Hebot and a bunch of people looked at each other and finally replied with a tough bullet. "Yuan, this requires on-site verification. In theory, it may be able to destroy a city. Maybe it will be interrupted in half of the chain reaction. At best, it may be just a large bomb. Maybe it has not yet dealt with the "Driller" aviation bomb in Gibraltar Fortress."

Speaking of this, Hoffmann fully understood: the German expert, with Heisenberg and Bott, had not yet figured it out in theory, and was stumbled forward on the premise of forcing himself to cheat and provide guidance. The situation was like a complex math problem. He revealed the answer in advance but had no problem solving process, and then a group of people racked their brains to get it together.

Heisenberg himself was also very surprised. Why Yuan was so passionate about making bombs? Last summer, in June 1942, after his first experimental reactor in Leipzig was destroyed in a fire, he had clearly expressed this view. At that time, both Yuan and Sperer did not expect this bomb that "no hope for success within 3-4 years" and believed that it would be more beneficial to switch to nuclear energy, so he applied for very little research funding. Unexpectedly, a few months later, the situation came to a 18o-degree turn. The entire project not only upgraded the specifications, but also gave 500 million Marks all at once. He never dreamed of this number. In this atmosphere, not only was his reactor rebuilt, but even the graphite reactor advocated by Bot also had the opportunity to build, so he had the words "two reactors are operating well."

But he didn't think much about it. It was common for big men to change their minds and change their orders every day. Even Marshal Mirch could fall back and get back. What else is impossible?

He originally thought it was Botyan's turn, but a scene that shocked him even more appeared. After Darges attached himself to Yuan's ear and muttered a few words, Himmler suddenly came to the meeting scene, the Imperial Post Secretary Onizog and Kurt Dibner.

What is even more strange is that Yuan changed his agenda temporarily and pushed Bot back, signaling Dibner to say that he was in charge of the third uranium engineering team first.

Dibner's first words shocked everyone present: "Dear Yuan, our uranium-paraffin wax three-dimensional reactor has fully met the design requirements, and the neutron output indicator has exceeded the best situation in the Leipzig experimental reactor that Professor Heisenberg had originally hosted. Of course, I don't know if there has been any of his latest construction results."

Heisenberg certainly knew Dibner. In fact, the latter had asked him about theoretical issues a long time ago. This so-called "three-dimensional reactor" is not a new term. Two years ago, he heard that the design plan of "uranium blocks are placed in a grille" allows block uranium to be surrounded by a subtractant, not covered in two-dimensional planes, but surrounded in three-dimensional three-dimensional. However, he was not interested in this, because of three reasons: First, this is not Dibner's original work, but was dug out from the experimental files in the Curie laboratory after the German army occupied France and summarized it systematically; Second, Heisenberg did not think that this plan had many innovations, but at best it was an improvement to his Leipzig experimental reactor; Third, Dibner himself graduated from Halle University, with a lower theoretical level and was not well-known in the academic field. He believed that the other party was just a second-rate person.

In addition, he also disliked Dibner: the latter not only joined the National Socialist Party, but also had distinct national socialist remarks and political traces. Heisenberg, who claims to be a moral model, disdained this. In his mind, Bott was considered a competitor with his ability second only to himself and had different academic opinions. Dibner was at best an academic liar and just look at his backstage and knew that he was the Minister of the Imperial Post! God, can the Postal Affairs Department also be related to nuclear research?

Dibner's second sentence is even more shocking: "Integrating the experimental results and the uranium extraction process, I think it is feasible to make bombs, which is simple and direct than using a reactor as an energy supplier. The reason is very simple. Bombs do not need to consider protection, maintenance, and maintenance. As long as the power is released in an instant, and as an energy source, it must fully consider various factors such as construction, safety, protection, and stable operation. It is very difficult. It is necessary to say that nuclear energy has advantages, only raw material purification has some advantages. If there is no restrictive problem in the raw material, we can create a bomb in a very short time. I think it will be 3-6 months."

Now not only are the energy factions like Heisenberg, but even Bot, who advocates bombing, shocked him that he has not dared to speak like this. Spel turned his head and looked at Heisenberg, and saw that he curled his lips disapprovingly, as if he was very disdainful of such remarks, but he was inconvenient to express it in the presence of Yuan.

Hoffmann seemed not to notice Heisenberg's attitude, but nodded gently: "I'll introduce your achievements in Morowitz..."

As soon as he talked about this, Sperer frowned and remembered that Farbourne invested heavily in building a large Dinner synthetic rubber factory in Morowitz, which was only 6 kilometers away from the Auschwitz concentration camp. Last year, the overall project was completed, and Farbourne invested 900 million marks for the project. Strangely, the factory has never produced any synthetic rubber, but the electricity consumed exceeds the entire Greater Berlin region.

Synthetic rubber is no longer as urgent as it was when the war started. After the Indian Ocean route was opened, especially after the sea control power was established, Japan sent merchant ships twice to send natural rubber to the Middle East and then transported it to the local area. In addition to rubber, a large number of other tropical materials can be obtained through trade with Japan. So Sperer is more interested in this rubber factory that does not produce synthetic rubber. He knows that there must be articles in it. It is just that since the raw materials to electricity capacity are invested by Faben, it is clear that there are secret projects of the SS, and the SS is responsible for everything from military expenses to security. Sperer is curious and inconvenient to interrogate. Now it seems that the answer lies. (To be continued.)8
