Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

"Mr. Vice President, Mr. Vice President!" The panic-stricken Secretary of State rushed into the conference room and shouted at Vice President Truman. "Something big happened!!"

Truman was startled by his sudden move and asked subconsciously. "What's the big deal?! Are the Germans planning to land?!" It's almost December. The Germans won't choose this time to launch a landing operation, right? If true, it was beyond their expectations, and it indeed achieved an unexpected effect.

Everyone here also had the same question, and all their eyes were focused on the Secretary of State.

"It's not that the Germans are going to land!" The Secretary of State shook his head quickly. "I just received an urgent message from the ambassadors in Switzerland and Sweden. Just three hours ago, the Germans tested a nuclear weapon in the center of the desert."

"Nuclear weapons?" Vice President Truman asked with a question mark on his face. "What the hell is that?" The others looked at each other in confusion. After all, no one had heard of nuclear weapons before, but since it was a test explosion, it should be some kind of bomb, right?

"I don't know, I just know that this nuclear weapon is derived from Dr. Einstein's E=MC2 theory. I have already asked someone to contact physics experts." The Secretary of State took a breath and continued. "They say one bomb can destroy a city. The Germans built a city in the desert, probably specifically to test the power of that bomb."

"One bomb destroyed a city?!" Marshall quickly asked. "How big is that bomb?!" If a bomb weighs dozens or even hundreds of tons, it is impossible to use it in actual combat.

The Secretary of State turned pale. "I heard it weighed less than one ton, but it exploded with an explosive yield of 50,000 tons of TNT!"

"What?!" As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the conference room was shocked. "How is it possible!!" A bomb of less than one ton actually exploded with the equivalent of 50,000 tons of TNT? !This is not common sense at all! !

"Could it be that the Germans are deceiving?"

"Probably not. I heard that leaders from various European countries have been invited to visit. There is no need for the Germans to use such childish methods to deceive others." The German army's combat effectiveness is already the first in the world, and its weapons and equipment are much ahead of its time. There is no need to resort to such boring tactics.

"Did the Germans invent some new type of explosives?" The reason for this conjecture is that the Germans are very good at inventing explosives. The famous TNT was invented by the German TJ Wilberland in 1863 (Nobel invented the safe method of using nitroglycerin. This method did play a big role in the later invention of TNT, but it is not considered TNT). Later, in 1899, the German Henning invented RDX. Fritz Haber invented synthetic ammonia in 1910 (for which he won the 1918 Nobel Prize in Chemistry). This invention greatly increased the yield of crops and also increased the production of nitric acid and explosives; it even indirectly prolonged the First World War. duration and intensity. Because the British embargo against Germany at that time included nitrates, the lifeblood of military industry and agriculture. The British were very optimistic about the embargo on nitrate minerals. They estimated that if the Germans had no source of nitrogen fertilizer and explosives, Germany would surrender in less than two years; as a result, Fritz Haber's invention helped Germany solve this problem. .

Speaking of RDX, before the advent of the atomic egg, it was the most powerful explosive, also known as "Cyclone Explosive." After World War II, it replaced TNT as the "King of Explosives."

But even such a powerful explosive is only 5 times more powerful than TNT.

Nowadays, explosives with 50,000 times the power of TNT have appeared. This is too exaggerated and sounds like a fantasy! !

Think about it, if a grenade is filled with this explosive, a 100-gram grenade can explode with the power of five tons of TNT explosives; is this a grenade or a meteorite? !

Just when everyone was quarreling, the secretary came in holding a phone and dragging a long phone cord. "Mr. Vice President, Dr. Millikan has been contacted."

"?" Faced with Vice President Truman's questioning eyes, the secretary whispered. "Dr. Robert Andrew Millikan, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1923 and now teaches at Caltech." However, this doctor's Nobel Prize was not glorious. He won the Nobel for the famous Millikan oil drop experiment. Prize, but for stealing the work of graduate student Harvey Fletcher.

The Nobel physicist should be able to explain Dr. Einstein's E=MC2 theory. Vice President Truman nodded with satisfaction and picked up the microphone. Because there was no hands-free function at this time, the secretary had to work hard to connect the phone to the speaker in the conference room.

Dr. Millikan's somewhat hoarse voice sounded over the loudspeaker. "Hello, Mr. Vice President, how may I help you?"

"Dr. Millikan, do you know Dr. Einstein's E=MC2 theory? Can you explain it to me?"

"Of course." Dr. Millikan then said a lot of professional terms, which made everyone confused.

Vice President Truman coughed slightly and interrupted Dr. Millikan's tirade. "Well, Dr. Millikan, we are all ordinary people here, there are no physicists. Can you summarize it in the most understandable terms?"

After a moment of silence, Dr. Millikan continued. "Simply put, this equation tells us that the energy contained in even one cubic centimeter of a small stone is amazing. It's just that we can't release it."

"Oh God!" Now everyone finally understood. It seems that the Germans have found a way to release this energy! No wonder a one-ton bomb can explode with the equivalent of 50,000 tons of TNT! !

"That's it, thank you Dr. Millikan." Vice President Truman said these words stiffly and hung up the phone.

Everyone's expressions were extremely ugly.

Presumably the Germans would not be able to find this method within two or three years. They might have started researching it ten years ago or even earlier; not to mention the United States, not even the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union and other countries. Detect any clues.

The Germans have done a great job keeping secrets!

"Everyone, what should we do now?" Now that the Germans have successfully developed such a terrifying weapon, the situation has further deteriorated.

Marshall sighed softly and said with great determination. "What else can we do? Since we have decided to resist to the end, we can only resist to the end. A bomb with an equivalent of 50,000 tons is indeed terrifying, but for us it is just a matter of quantity. Do 200 500-kilogram aerial bombs have five Ten thousand tons equivalent? Do you have 300? We have been hit by tens of thousands of bombs so far. Have we surrendered?! If there are not, then why should we be afraid of the German nuclear weapons?!"
