"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
The whistle sounded in the distance, and the Angela steamer arrived at Huangpu Pier 3 with thick black smoke.
More than thirty high-spirited young Chinese people walked down the gangway carrying heavy suitcases.
Lu Xiaojia also followed Ma Xiangbo and started chatting with these people. When these people found out that Lu Xiaojia was a warlord, they all had expressions of disgust on their faces.
After all, warlords are indeed quite notorious in the eyes of these intellectuals.
However, when they learned that Lu Xiaojia was vigorously developing education and would even implement compulsory education in Yu Province, these people all had bright smiles on their faces.
And they all stretched out their hands to shake hands with Lu Xiaojia and introduced themselves in an eager tone.
"Hello! Mr. Lu, my name is Zhao Zhongyao. I graduated from California Institute of Technology, Sam State. I am good at physics and mathematics research. I am very happy to meet you today."
He is actually a top student at California Institute of Technology, which is a top talent at any time.
Wait, this person’s name is Zhao Zhongyao?
Lu Xiaojia reacted and was dumbfounded on the spot. Did she hear it correctly? It was actually Zhao Zhongyao!
You must know that this is China's most famous nuclear physicist in modern times, and he is also a pioneer in China's nuclear physics research and the construction of proton electrostatic accelerators.
Many national-level academicians in China later became students of Zhao Zhongyao.
And this Zhao Zhongyao's mentor is also very extraordinary. He is Professor Robert Millikan, a famous nuclear physicist in Sam Country.
At the same time, he also had a lot of interactions with the John physicist, Ernest Rutherford.
Zhao Zhongyao’s mentors and the people he came into contact with were all world-class physicists who had won Nobel Prizes.
Lu Xiaojia held Zhao Zhongyao's hand tightly, thinking that he would make a lot of money this time, and the self-introductions of the remaining people were an eye-opener for him.
Ye Qisun graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Samoa, specializing in mechanical engineering and aerodynamics.
Wu Youxun, graduated from Steinway University in Samland, specializing in electrical engineering and physics
Mo Yuhong, graduated from Hanse University of Technology Berlin, specializing in mechanical engineering and materials engineering
Wei Jianhuai, graduated from the Hansi University of Leipzig, specializing in pharmacy and medicine
Meng Zhiqiang, graduated from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, specializing in biology and medicine
Hou Debang, graduated from the University of Munich, Hans, specializing in physics and chemistry
He Zaoli, graduated from the Polytechnic University of Paris in Gaul, specializing in electrical and materials engineering
Xue Guoqian, graduated from the University of Cambridge, specializes in mechanical engineering and materials engineering
Dai Zelan, graduated from Oxford University, specializing in biology and chemistry
Weng Wenyang, graduated from Sorbonne University in Gaul, specializing in physics and geology
…
After hearing the self-introductions of the remaining people, Lu Xiaojia called them good guys. These people will all be influential figures in the Chinese scientific community in the future.
These are not talents who have returned from overseas. They are obviously a bunch of scientists covering various fields.
After shaking hands with these thirty or so people, Lu Xiaojia secretly made up her mind to keep these people.
In addition, Zhao Zhongyao was also pulled aside by Lu Xiaojia, which made him a little confused.
"Master Lu, why did you bring me here? Is there anything you can't say in front of everyone?"
Lu Xiaojia did not speak and began to try hard to recall the information about nuclear weapons in her mind.
Although I was not a physicist in my previous life, I was very interested in nuclear weapons and had a brief understanding of them online and in books.
There are roughly three types of nuclear weapons: atomic bombs, neutron bombs, and hydrogen bombs
Among them, the atomic bomb is a nuclear fission weapon that uses a heavy nuclear fission chain reaction to instantly release huge energy and play a huge role in destruction and destruction.
The hydrogen bomb is a thermonuclear weapon that uses the energy of the atomic bomb explosion to ignite light nuclei such as deuterium and tritium, triggering a self-sustaining fusion reaction and instantly releasing huge energy.
As for neutron bombs, they are strong radiation nuclear weapons that use high-energy neutrons as the main killing factor and relatively weaken the effects of shock waves and light radiation.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaojia still felt that the atomic bomb was most suitable for the current situation.
The atomic bomb was developed by nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer, based on Einstein's mass-energy formula and nuclear power formula.
This led to the idea of using radioactive elements such as uranium 235 or plutonium 239 to trigger a nuclear fission reaction, releasing huge energy and causing an explosion.
Then Oppenheimer discovered alpha rays and beta rays in radioactive radiation, and thus proposed the hypothesis of atomic structure.
Later, Oppenheimer participated in the Manhattan Project of Sam State, and finally successfully developed the world's first atomic bomb in July 1945.
At that time, Truman of Sam Country wanted to show the friendship between Sam Country and Fuso Country.
They also specially ordered Boeing B29 bombers to donate two atomic bombs to Nagasaki and Hiroshima in the Fuso Kingdom for free. However, the Fuso Kingdom was not technologically advanced at the time and failed to catch these two atomic bombs.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaojia briefly organized the knowledge about nuclear weapons in his mind and said it. Zhao Zhongyao was filled with disbelief after hearing this.
"Master Lu, what kind of radioactive element is plutonium-239, and where did you learn this?"
Only then did Lu Xiaojia realize that he had let the matter slip. The nuclear element plutonium-239 was not produced until March 1940, and it does not exist yet.
"Mr. Zhao, there are many things that I cannot tell you. I have a question now. Can you conduct research in this area based on the hypothesis I just mentioned?"
Zhao Zhongyao seemed to be a little upset. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Lu Xiaojia, took a few puffs on his own, and then said slowly:
"Master Lu, do you know what your crazy idea just now means? If I am not wrong, once this hypothesis is established, a horrifying weapon will be created."
"When I was engaged in nuclear research with Professor Rutherford at the University of Cambridge, there was also a Samman named Oppenheimer who proposed an idea similar to yours. However, this crazy and whimsical idea was quickly rejected by Rutherford. The professor denied it. As a scientist, I don’t want to create a weapon.”
"Mr. Zhao, your guess is correct. What I asked you to research is a weapon with huge destructive power. And Mr. Zhao, if you don't want to make weapons, do you know what the situation in China is now?"
"Foreign powers are watching eagerly. If we don't have a big killer weapon, we can suppress the hungry wolves outside. What do you think our country will do in the future? Having a sword in your hand and having a sword without it are completely different concepts. I hope you think about it carefully."
Zhao Zhongyao was speechless, and after thinking about it, he finally agreed to Lu Xiaojia's request.
"Master Lu, for the sake of China, I, Zhao Zhongyao, can engage in research in this area incognito and forge the sword you mentioned, but there are many thorny problems at the moment."
"Do we have uranium mines in China? The laboratories and scientific research instruments needed for this must also be complete, and the research and development cycle will be very long."
Hearing Zhao Zhongyao's answer, Lu Xiaojia was extremely happy. Everything was ready, all she needed was the east wind!
Instruments can be purchased in the system mall, and there are uranium mines in Quzhou, Yu Province.
"Mr. Zhao, I can tell you that we have uranium mines in Yu Province. As for the scientific research instruments you mentioned, I have channels abroad and can import them from abroad. Just give me the list now."
Zhao Zhongyao went back to discuss with the remaining people for a while, and Lu Xiaojia took a look at the list.
[Politometer, Miller clamp, generator, Bunsen burner, centrifuge, mass spectrometer, X-ray spectrometer, UV photometer, cyclotron, high-speed centrifuge, nuclide generator, liquid chromatograph...]
Lu Xiaojia laughed, all these scientific research instruments can be purchased in the system mall.
