Chapter 49 Chapter 48: From the Hydrogen Bomb to the "G Bomb"

The "secret, epoch-making and very important academic conference" has finally come to an end.Fifty-three scientists from all over the United States and the United Kingdom attended the meeting, most of them among the famous scientists, including seven "masters" or Nobel Prize winners.Most of them participated in the "Manhattan Project", lived and worked in Alamos, and now they are revisiting old places.The meeting went on for a week, and people were very excited, sometimes until late at night.Ding Jieqiong was depressed and kept silent.There are also several scientists like her who only listen and don't speak.But what was supposed to happen happened.No one expected that the problems that physicists and chemists could not solve were solved by mathematicians.The first-class mathematical analyst Bert Weiner theoretically pointed out the major flaws in Alan Taylor's hydrogen bomb design ideas, and another applied mathematician Ulam proved this flaw with calculations...

"It's over," Ding Jieqiong whispered after listening to Weiner and Ulam's speech, "'wet bomb' has become 'dry bomb'!" "It is indeed an 'epoch-making'," Aum nodded. "It has divided the two 'epochs' of the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb." "According to this estimate, the hydrogen bomb used in actual combat will appear in five to seven years." Dr. Neumann of the Aberdeen Ballistics Laboratory turned his face.He was the first to propose the application of electron tubes to the field of computing technology.Now, he has a major score without a computer. "And today's meeting place may become the starting point of human destruction."

"It's a pity that Einstein didn't come," Brown interjected, "otherwise he would have said: The next world war will be fought with stones and clubs." "Damn Weiner and Ulam," Kistikov shook his head, "no wonder the Nobel didn't set up a mathematics prize back then!" Orm knew Joan was in a bad mood.The day after the meeting, he drove to Santa Fe with the female scientist.On Donggong Street stands the former Spanish governor's residence - in the short history of the North American continent, this is considered a monument.There are two black iron gates on the fortified doorway.After entering, you can see a beautiful and picturesque Spanish courtyard. Swords, shields, muskets, armors, military uniforms, battle flags, carriages and royal emblems decorated with gold and silver are displayed inside and outside the porch.In the courtyard, there is a tunnel dug three hundred years ago, leading to the Governor's Mansion. During the "Manhattan Project", it became a "military depot", and scientists, engineers, technicians, military officers and other relevant personnel from all over the world reported and visited here; after being arranged to stay in the suburban manor for a day or two, they rushed to Alamo as soon as possible s.After many important instruments and equipment arrived in Santa Fe by train, they were transferred to Base Y.After the war, Santa Fe was as cold as Alamos.However, the scene this time was a bit abnormal: there was a row of large and small cars parked on Donggong Street, and plainclothes agents were swimming far and near.A group of middle-aged men and women who look like tourists, it should be said that they are all good-looking, most of them are blond, with bright eyes, long and narrow faces, and rosy skin. Some of them have children beside them, and they are visiting the ancient governor's office; Everything is full of curiosity...

Ding Jieqiong could tell at a glance that these were Hitler's so-called "pure Aryans" and heard that they spoke pure German.They made the deserted governor's mansion lively.What are they doing in Santa Fe?Santa Fe is not an ordinary state capital, nor is it an ordinary small desert city. Outsiders (let alone foreigners) arriving in Santa Fe is almost equivalent to arriving at an atomic bomb base.There are invisible and tight, net-like preventive measures everywhere.Therefore, Ding Jieqiong asked in surprise: "Where are there so many Germans?" In fact, Aum has noticed the unusual visitors.He supported the car body with one hand, and kept looking at the group of people coldly.Hearing Joan's question, he muttered.The female scientist thought she heard a few key syllables clearly, that is "Order No. 71".Finally, Aum waved his hand and said softly, "Let's go, get in the car."

The scenery of Santa Fe is monotonous.Orm and Joan used to be like this, after driving from Alamos to Santa Fe, wandering aimlessly on the straight and clean roads in the city, talking, laughing, chatting, discussing some mathematical or physical proposition; For the sake of excitement, sometimes there are other colleagues in the car.However, today Aum looked depressed, with confused eyes, silently looking ahead, without saying a word. Ding Jieqiong remembered that this was the second time she had heard of "Order No. 71".The last time was early last fall on the West Lawn of the White House.When the President asked Perry what he was going to do in Europe, the General's answer was "Execute Directive 71"...

Aum drove the car to the outskirts far from the urban area, where there was an elegant Chinese restaurant.They went in and found a "train seat" facing the window in a secluded corner.Ding Jieqiong ordered food, and Aum ordered a bottle of "Silver City" white wine. "Are you driving and drinking?" the female professor asked. "Drink, drink!" Aum shook his head, "It's okay." "Aum, where did those Germans come from?" Ding Jieqiong looked directly at him, "Also, what happened to 'Order No. 71'?" "Joan, are you interested in these?" Aum tilted his neck and swallowed a large glass of wine, "Isn't what you saw a group of tourists?"

"Our enemies are coming to our military bases in droves - can this not make people 'interested'!" Ding Jieqiong didn't touch his glass, his eyes were burning, "As you said, we must truly love the United States and truly love America. Loyal to America." Orm stopped his glass, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Joan. "You obviously know the details." The female professor went on to say, "Even if it is a military secret, you must tell me. I have a 'charter'." "'Charter' doesn't work here. You know, 'charter' doesn't give you everything." Orm said softly, looking around, "but, in front of me, Joan, you don't need 'Charter'."

On the eve of Germany's surrender, the United States began to implement the top-secret "Order No. 71". The American army and agents who entered Germany were fully searching for Nazi youths in the fields of missiles, jet propulsion, earthquakes, meteorology, poison gas, bacterial weapons, nuclear physics and nuclear weapons. expert.Relatively speaking, young people are not well-known, have low status, and are not easy to attract attention internationally and in the United States; but they are energetic, have been engaged in practical work for a long time, and have mastered the latest developments and key technologies, so they are very valuable.We must use all means to control them, bring them to the United States together with their wives and children and naturalize in the United States as soon as possible, so that they will be loyal to the future US global strategy.In order to reassure them, we should ignore their past crimes; we should give them favorable treatment, arrange good living and working conditions, and make their families, especially their children, develop feelings for the United States and integrate into American society as soon as possible. The "instruction" also stipulates: in order to do all this well, American soldiers and civilian personnel sent to work in Germany after the war are not allowed to contact Germans who are anti-Nazi or Germans who have only obeyed Hitler against their will...

"'Don't turn a blind eye to their past crimes', then why set up the Nuremberg Tribunal?" Ding Jieqiong asked, "You are not allowed to contact with better Germans, that is to say, you can only hang out with the die-hard Nazis? " "Anyway, Perry went to Europe to implement 'Order 71'. The first mission was to recruit Nazi experts and bring them to the United States. The second mission was to review the American military and civilian personnel sent to Germany after the war, and to correct Their 'violation' behavior." Aum shrugged, "The 'instructions' said that this is for the fundamental interests of the United States—doesn't it mean that they really love the United States and are truly loyal to the United States? Well, this is true love. , true loyalty!"

Missiles, jet propulsion, earthquakes, weather, poison gas, germ weapons, nuclear physics and nuclear weapons... Nazi Germany used to bombard London with V-type missiles. In the later period of the war, pulse jet engines were installed under the wings of fighter jets as boosters, which significantly accelerated the flight speed. Therefore, the United States has a strong reaction to "missiles" and "jet propulsion". Interest is understandable.But what about "earthquake" and "weather"? These are natural phenomena that cannot be controlled by humans! "Here's the problem. They want to have human control over it all." Aum did not say who "they" were, "there are atomic bombs, there will be hydrogen bombs. They don't just want to use the explosive function of nuclear weapons, but Attempts to 'design' and use this kind of explosion to control the climate, induce earthquakes, tsunamis, rainstorms, floods, storms and hailstones in a targeted and quantitative manner, melt plateau glaciers and polar icebergs, and even crack the earth's crust, allowing a large number of gushing magma, massive The spilled poisonous gas covers the ground to destroy the enemy..."

"Oh my god!" Ding Jieqiong's eyes widened. "Oh Joan, by the way, they're still using your 'nuclear blast aerodynamics' for that." The problem of computing speed is the bottleneck in "World War II".The U.S. Army needs to calculate thousands of trajectories every day, and it takes 20 hours for a computer to calculate a 60-second flight trajectory with a desktop computer at that time, and the data is invalid before it is calculated.As a result, the development of electronic computers was put on the agenda.In February 1946, the world's first electronic computer was born in the United States. "They" immediately thought of its military use, and used it to calculate the equations in the "nuclear explosion aerodynamics" that were almost completely unsolvable before. means of mass destruction.To this end, they are establishing two bases in Dallas, Texas and Everglades, Florida, installing a large number of wind tunnels, water tunnels, explosion holes, hydraulic facilities, and large computers. The former is called "Fort Worth Meteorological Center." ", the latter is called the "Gulf of Mexico Hydrological Center"... "They didn't tell me a word about this!" Ding Jieqiong murmured. "Will they tell you a word about this!" Ding Jieqiong felt out of breath for a long time. What I saw in front of the Santa Fe Governor's Mansion were the "talents" in the field of nuclear physics and nuclear weapons that had just been brought in from Germany.They have all served as assistants to first-class scientists such as Heisenberg, Hahn, Both, Laue, Dopper, Kechner, Steiter, Hartke and Kuhn for a long time, in Strasbourg, Oran Working in various laboratories and factories in Nienburg, Heidelberg, Dalland, Hechingen and Heigloch, he has rich experience and superb insights into accelerators, reactors and heavy water extraction, some of whom are in the centrifugation of uranium Mastering more advanced technology than the United States... Heisenberg and Hahn are top-level scientists, and they almost created the atomic bomb for Germany.Fortunately, Hitler was born in a gangster with low cultural quality. He didn't know what "nuclear" was, and he didn't believe in the power of nuclear weapons. This prevented the most terrible situation from happening.But Heisenberg, Hahn, etc. are too old and famous, so they are easy to attract attention and cause trouble; they are all "pure Aryans", supported the Nazis, and even had a close relationship with Hitler, so It would be awkward to get along with Jewish scientists like Einstein, Teller, Szilard, Carmon, and Neumann.In this way, it is the best choice to get their young assistant generation - arming American democracy with Nazi talent and technology! "Germany developed and used gas bombs as early as World War I," said Orm, "and used germ weapons..." The earliest examples of germ warfare can be traced back to 1349.When the Tatars besieged the city of Kaffa on the Crimean Peninsula, they threw the bodies of the plague victims into the city of Kaffa. As a result, many soldiers and residents in the city were infected with the plague and were forced to abandon the city and flee westward. In 1763, the British colonialists encountered stubborn resistance from the Indians in North America.The British army pretended to be friendly and presented the quilts and handkerchiefs used by smallpox patients as "gifts" to the Indians. As a result, the smallpox epidemic caused the Indians to lose their combat effectiveness, and the British army won without a fight. During the First World War, Germany sent spies to sneak into the Allies with cultures of equine and anthrax bacteria, secretly put them in the feed, or inoculated them into the nasal cavities of horses, cattle and sheep with brushes. Thirty-four thousand five hundred pigs imported from Latin America to carry weapons and equipment were infected with the plague, and the combat effectiveness of the troops was greatly damaged... "Although Nazi Germany did not use bacteriological weapons in World War II, it has been researching bacteriological weapons." Aum continued, "So, a group of German experts in this field were also brought in and placed in two cities in Utah and Indiana. Bacteriological weapons base." "Why," Ding Jieqiong was stunned, "there are two bacterial weapons bases in the United States?" "More than that! There are two other ones in Maryland and Michigan." Aum curled his lips, "You know, the U.S. government set up the 'U Committee' to develop the atomic bomb; you don't know, it was added after that The 'Committee G', which develops germ weapons, has also created a batch of 'G bombs', that is, germ bombs." "yes?" "If the atomic bomb is not produced in time in 1945, the United States is ready to use the 'G bomb'. It is estimated that in that case, more people will die in Japan from the germ bomb than from the two atomic bombs." More than ten times, or even more!" European countries are densely populated, and bacteria and viruses can easily endanger Germany itself, which is located in Central Europe, when it drifts with water, air currents, dust, or animals and plants.As a result, Germany did not dare to conduct experiments, let alone use them in actual combat, and the level of research on bacterial weapons remained low. Disappointed by this, the "G Committee" turned its attention to Japan... "It's Japan again!" "Yes, it's Japan again." Aum nodded, "There are still several countries that secretly develop bacterial weapons, and Japan is the most advanced. Japan uses China as a research base for bacterial weapons, and China as a testing ground for bacterial weapons. Japan is far away from the sea and has a natural barrier that bacteria and viruses cannot cross. China has a vast territory and is the best testing ground in the eyes of the Japanese; China has a large population and is an inexhaustible experimental animal in the eyes of the Japanese..." Ding Jieqiong listened, Bite your lip. "In addition, the key point: history has proved, especially the history of modern Japan-China relations has proved that China is a 'weak nation'." Aum continued to talk, as if he didn't pay attention to Joan's reaction at all, "No matter how aggressive Japan is, , bullying, mutilating and dismembering China, China does not have any ability to retaliate and fight back, let alone cross the sea to destroy Japan. The Chinese rulers are dark, rotten, and ignorant. Suppressing the people, surrendering to the outside world, ceding land for peace—really, in today’s world, where can I find such a large testing ground and such good experimental animals?” Ding Jieqiong remained silent.She remembered the old Chinese saying: Mourning for its misfortune, angering it for nothing. "Anyway, the war is over, Japan has surrendered, and China has 'tremendously won'. For a considerable period of time, at least as far as Japan is concerned, it will be impossible to use germ weapons against China and treat Chinese people as experimental animals. "Aum seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be sighing, "But, Joan, I have to be wary of other countries..." "What do you mean by that?" Two customers came to the next table. "Let's go, Joan." Orm stood up. On the way back to Alamos, Ding Jieqiong kept thinking about Aum's words. "Other country", which country?She didn't want to press Aum, she knew that Aum would tell her everything that should be told to her.She changed the subject: "Where are Shiro Ishii's group? Why haven't I heard them mentioned again, and they are not on the list of war criminals." "All members of Unit 731, including Shiro Ishii, fled back to Japan via North Korea at the end of the war. The Americans did not arrest them, let alone try them, and kept in touch with them..." "What is 'keep in touch'?" "It's just bargaining and buying the data of their development of bacterial weapons back then." "Why don't you simply bring this group of Japanese bacterial war criminals to the United States and use the talents and technology of Unit 731 to arm American democracy just like the experts from Nazi Germany?" "The Japanese are different from the Germans. They are too conspicuous in appearance. In addition, the Germans are scientists after all, and Germany has never actually used bacterial weapons; and these Japanese, without exception, are all war criminals and extremely ferocious beasts , everyone is guilty of heinous crimes, enough to be sentenced to 20 death sentences! Therefore, in order to avoid causing troubles at home and abroad, we cannot bring them to the United States." Aum said unhurriedly while driving, "Instead, use Three methods were used to "redeem" them: one was to manipulate the military courts in the Far East so that they could escape trial; the other was to provide them with money and food when a large number of buildings in Japan were bombed and burned after the war and supplies were extremely scarce. , housing, gifts, and all kinds of hospitality; the third is... To be honest, Japan has never been superior to the United States in terms of bacterial weapons. Japan has only far surpassed the United States in one aspect, and that is a large number of human experiment data. In addition to the Chinese and Koreans, the army conducted live experiments on a small number of Russians, Manchurian Jews, and American and British prisoners of war who were "selected" from the Pacific battlefield. Therefore, the data of the 731st Unit is from the "ethnological" sense It is quite complete, and only black people are missing, which is of great value to the development of bacterial weapons in the United States. Therefore, the third is to purchase a complete set of data from Shiro Ishii and the members of the 731 unit-as mentioned earlier, these so-called data are In exchange for the lives of tens of thousands of Chinese, Koreans, Russians, Jews and American and British prisoners of war!" Ding Jieqiong looked ahead expressionlessly.Occasional hares, muntjacs, badgers, lizards and snakes flit across the road illuminated by headlights.After a full half an hour of silence, she spoke again with a calm tone: "Aum, now, let's get back to that topic." "Which topic?" "'Be wary of other countries' — which country?" "You see clearly, Joan, there is a deep abyss beside the road!" The mountain road looked particularly undulating and winding in the twilight. Aum stopped talking, but held the steering wheel very carefully.At a fork in the road, he turned onto a deserted simple road.The body bumped violently, and after driving forward for more than ten miles, it reached the end of the road.There are several abandoned barracks under the steep stone wall standing in front of it, crumbling and dilapidated.On the left is a dry river ditch with ferocious rocks on the river bed; the canyon on the right is unfathomable, dark and creepy.Night shrouded the mountains and fields, and wolves came and fell from all directions.Aum stopped the car, turned off the ignition, took out a cigarette from somewhere, put it in front of his nostrils and sniffed it, but did not light it; after a long time, he took a deep breath and said softly: "Okay, are you here yet?" A place where people eavesdrop. To put it bluntly, Joan, I went back to Alamos this time to attend a meeting in name, but actually to see you, have a serious talk with you, and tell you all the truth I know!"
