Oppenheimer underestimated the difficulties at the beginning, thinking that only 6 physicists and more than 100 engineers and technicians would be enough.But by 1945, the laboratory had grown to have more than 2,000 civilian researchers and more than 3,000 military personnel, including more than 1,000 scientists.

In view of the fact that most scientists are opposed to the militarization of the laboratory, Groves agreed that the University of California should become the nominal management unit and contract guarantee unit of Los Alamos, and the military at the base would be responsible for laboratory construction, logistics supply, and security.This ensures free academic discussion within the laboratory.Oppenheimer encourages scientists to boldly discuss Chaowu's related scientific issues, and put forward that even the gatekeeper's opinions will be helpful to Chaowu's success.Oppenheimer listened carefully to anyone's opinions and controlled the entire experimental process.Some physicists involved in nuclear research later recalled that they themselves were not even as clear as Oppenheimer about the details and progress of their work.On many issues, it was due to Oppenheimer’s decision that breakthroughs were made, ensuring the implementation of the Chaowu development schedule.Oppenheimer's prestige among scientists, ordinary workers and officials is increasing.Los Alamos is known as the "Nobel Prize Winners Concentration Camp", and people call Oppenheimer the "battalion commander" of this camp.Oppenheimer has never won a Nobel Prize, but he has such a high personal prestige, which is evident from his talent and personality charm.

Of the 150,000 people working in the "Manhattan Project District", only 12 people know the overall plan.In fact, few of the staff knew that they were engaged in the work of making super weapons.For example, the Los Alamos Computing Center performs complex calculations for a long time, but most of the staff do not understand the actual meaning of these tasks.Since they do not know the purpose of their work, it is impossible to make them truly interested in work.Later, a young man explained what kind of work they were doing.Since then, the work here has reached a climax, and many staff voluntarily stayed to work overtime.Through the hard work of all personnel, many technical and engineering problems of Chaowu have been solved.

It's just that they are seriously behind now.

"Your Chief of Staff, this is not alarmist talk. Atomic energy does have such a terrifying power. You will know it when you have a detailed understanding of this plan. Once this kind of weapon is truly manufactured, even if it is just one, it can be bombed. Destroy a city." MacArthur is much more radical than Marx. After understanding this thing, he can’t wait to make him out. Of course, he also knows that this thing requires a lot of manpower and material resources, not a short time. There will be soon.Jiujiu Book Pavilion www.99shuge.com

"Well, if there is such a weapon, then we must do it as soon as possible. I don't know if the will and the man have developed it." Ma Xie nodded unsurely. MacArthur was not particularly convinced, after all. He had lost power before, and it was normal to want to stand up on something, but if physicists and military affairs don’t think so, at least this kind of weapon is very scary.

If other countries have developed such a terrifying killer, then they will be very difficult.

Although a country puts dozens of them, it is strange that that country does not surrender. Just like the terrorist bombs of the Qing Dynasty before, if there were tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of bombs, Citigroup would have surrendered.

"Although the will people started research earlier than we started, they should not have been manufactured yet, and they are still far behind. The best uranium in the world is in the Congo, and heavy water will is very lacking, so they are much worse than ours. But it’s not necessarily the case of the Qing Dynasty. They established a secret base many years ago. At that time, we didn’t know what they were developing, but now it is very likely that they are studying atomic energy weapons."

The physicist Bush said with a serious face that the military intelligence bureau has reported that the Qing Dynasty has established a base in the western desert area, which looks like a thermal power plant. At that time, the military intelligence did not find anything at all, but now thinking about it, it must be atomic energy research. Up.

"No, if people really have made such a terrifying weapon, how can we fight this war? Mi Jian will be over directly." Ma Xie frowned, he still didn't believe that one could destroy a medium-sized one. According to the city, even ten destroying a city would be terrifying. If other countries had such weapons, Mi Jian would have no chance at all. Unless he controls absolute air and sea dominance, is that still possible?..
