It turned out that Heisenberg Rudolph, who was entrusted with an important task by the country, would also let him participate in the construction of the nuclear reactor. The nuclear reactor was different from the nuclear fission experiment of light and light. It required a more complicated operation process, and Heisenberg, as the best physicist besides Einstein, was undoubtedly the best choice.
The reason why he was not allowed to participate in the competition was that the atomic energy technology, which was originally the leading technology in history, did not produce an atomic bomb in the end, which worried Rudolph.
After all, the scarcity of resources was only one aspect. It was also closely related to the lack of cooperation of these scientists.
Therefore, Rudolph had to be careful and carefully examine every scientist.
Half a month later, Heisenberg and Hahn appeared in Rudolph's office.
"Gentlemen! The country needs you! The country lacks energy and is unable to build a large number of thermal power plants to meet the growing demand for electricity. Our geographical environment also does not allow us to build more hydraulic power plants. At the same time, we also lack a peaceful environment. Some countries suppress the development of the country while occupying colonies all over the world, but they claim to be the embodiment of justice. Therefore, we need a vital weapon to ensure the safety of the entire country."
" Of course, you scientists don't need to care about politics. You just need to abide by your duty as a scientist and make discoveries and explorations. You just need to turn theories into practical things. What is the greatest is science. It is science that drives the development of the world..."
After seeing the two of them, Rudolph spoke frankly, fully exerting his brainwashing function.
"But Mr. Prime Minister, we lack uranium, and it is very difficult to obtain uranium-235.”
Heisenberg was the first to speak. The past half a month had really shocked him. Hahn had found him and shared an important discovery with him, a discovery that could change history.
The prime minister in front of him was actually one of the discoverers. What was even more incredible was that he actually involved himself in many scientific fields. Although he always said something general and often made some very childish basic mistakes, he could prove that he was right in the general direction every time.
The country lacked uranium, and Uranium-235 was the main charge for atomic weapons. However, it was very difficult to obtain a high concentration of Uranium-235 because the ratio of Uranium-235 to Uranium-238 in natural Uranium-235 was 1:139. Heisenberg knew what he wanted most as Prime Minister. However, he was not disgusted by this. Other than being strong externally, this leader was still very good to the people in the country. The first to emerge from the economic crisis and the increasing living standards were proof.
After not mentioning and doing things like exterminating the Jewry, everything was actually not too difficult. The head of state in history was defeated by the extreme of this matter.
It was just that the reality was that it was the charge of an atomic weapon. The only materials that could be obtained in large quantities and used as atomic bombs were uranium-235, Pu-239, and Uranium-233. Uranium-238 and Uranium-235 belonged to the same material and were difficult to separate. Although Rudolph had proposed a gas separation method, it was still not certain whether it would succeed or not, but it consumed a lot of power.
"Professor, you don't have to worry about that. We can use Pu-239. Plutonium-239 is produced through a reactor. Inside the reactor, Uranium-238 absorbs a neutron and becomes Uranium-239. Uranium-239 decays into Neptunium-239 and then into Plutonium-239.”
"Plutonium and uranium are different elements, so although only a small portion of uranium is converted into Plutonium during the reaction process, the separation of Plutonium and Uranium is much easier than the separation of Uranium Isotopes.”
Rudolph smiled and wrote a formula on a piece of paper. The two methods could be used together. Anyway, Pu-239 also needed to build a reactor and could only be obtained through the neutrons released by Uranium-235. If the effect was good enough, the Uranium-235 would be produced. If it was not good enough, the Uranium-235 would be produced into Uranium bombs.
Heisenberg stared at the equation with his mouth agape. Hahn's eyes lit up, and he began to ponder. He couldn't wait to experiment.
"Mr. Prime Minister, are you sure this equation will succeed? After all, the decay water could not be controlled. Even if this equation could be established, if we built a nuclear reactor, we would still need a large number of slow neutrons to control the fission process.”
Heisenberg didn't believe that Rudolph would make such a hasty conclusion.
"My friend, the Prime Minister is a great scientist. If he wasn't lacking in energy, he would have achieved much more than us. Isn't it what we should do to prove whether this equation can be established? At least in theory, it was possible.”
When Rudolph was about to speak, Hahn had already spoken up. Every time his research was in trouble, Rudolph had come forward to help him solve the problem, so he believed in this theory.
Heisenberg nodded. Although he thought Hahn was exaggerating, it was indeed a scientist's job to face difficulties.
" Since you have no questions about Pu-239, let's talk about the medium. Heavy water is of course the best medium, and the easiest way is to obtain heavy water by vaporizing water.”
Seeing that the problem had been solved, Rudolph went straight to the next topic. If he were to explain the principle, he might be exposed.
"En! There was no problem with that. Water could be electrolysed, but heavy water could not. However, it would consume a lot of electricity. It was only suitable for laboratory operations and not for large-scale applications.”
Heisenberg nodded and fell asleep.
Large-scale your sister! I want the atomic bomb!
Rudolph couldn't help but complain to himself, but the amount of heavy water was too little, and the country of Dé couldn't bear it if it was to be electrolysed on a large scale. And it was too slow.
"Of course, this method is indeed not suitable for large-scale application. I have a method to produce heavy water. I wonder if the two of you are interested in experimenting?”
Although Rudolph thought about it, he still said it in a friendly manner. Frankensteins usually had some personality problems, and it was difficult for ordinary people to reach their heights. He didn't care too much about it.
He and Hahn almost flipped the table several times. In their eyes, he was already a member of the scientific community, and they were discussing with each other.
"Creating heavy water? What do you think?" The two of them were so interested that they gathered around Rudolph's desk.
Rudolph picked up a piece of colored chalk and ran to the wall. He started drawing on the wall. The two followed him to the wall. At this time, Rudolph looked more like a professor, while the two Bell Prize winners were students...
" This is a method of exchanging hydrogen with hydrogen. First, we can build a series of towers. The top is cold, and the bottom is hot. In this process, water flows to the bottom of the tower, and the hydrogen sulfur gas is circulated from the bottom to the top of the tower…This process is repeated in the next tower. The final product is sent to a retorting unit to make heavy water…Of course, if this method fails, we can still use graphene as the reactor medium. The effect of graphene may be worse than heavy water, but a large amount of graphene can also be used as a medium. These two methods can be used."
Rudolph wrote again and again. He didn't forget to mention about graphene. The world's first reactor was made of graphene as a medium, but the effect wasn't that good.
Although it was messy and some details could not be explained, the entire reaction process was still clear. As top physicists and mathematicians, they naturally did not care about those details. Those x details were just technical difficulties that they had to overcome...
They didn't stay for long before they left. They returned to Hahn's laboratory together. It would probably be another sleepless night. Of course, Rudolph would soon arrange a secret place for them to carry out this huge project.
"Baylor! Go get a shovel and remove the things on the wall. Remember, don't leave a single word!”
After the two of them left, Rudolph was dumbfounded. He had been full of vigor just now, and now he really had to deal with his "funeral". However, he quickly shifted the blame to his adjutant.
