Arms Race! The Three Keys to Building an Atomic Bomb! Li Qiwei Alone Could Match Them All!
Borneo, Mountain Division, inside a conference room.
Facing the core personnel of the Pangu Plan, Li Qiwei was about to unveil the plan he had painstakingly refined for nearly thirty years.
Over this period, he had sorted through the real historical experiences of every nation that developed atomic bombs, striving to leave nothing to chance.
In February 1939, Hahn and Frisch successively published experimental results and theoretical proof concerning Uranium Nuclear Fission.
In March, Irène proved that Uranium Nuclear Fission released more than two neutrons, creating a chain reaction.
The moment the papers were published, the era's foremost physics titans immediately thought of a superweapon based on Uranium Nuclear Fission: nuclear weapons.
At first, these nuclear weapons went by many names: "super bomb," "uranium bomb," and later were collectively known as the "Atomic Bomb."
At the time, Germany, Britain, the Cherry Blossom Clan, and the United States successively launched atomic bomb development programs, all under the strictest secrecy.
France, Italy, the Soviet Union, and others merely ran alongside them.
Germany.
In April 1939, Germany convened a conference on "uranium devices" attended by six physicists, and established the Uranium Club in Berlin to research Uranium Nuclear Fission.
In September 1939, Germany formed a special leadership group on the foundation of the Uranium Club, with Heisenberg as its leader and Hahn as deputy leader.
The group was responsible for theoretically calculating the feasibility of an atomic bomb, codenamed the "U Plan."
In January 1940, Heisenberg led the others in drafting a formal atomic bomb development plan, codenamed the "U Project."
In June 1940, Germany occupied Norway, obtained a heavy-water production plant, and began attempting to separate Uranium-235.
In December 1940, Germany successfully mastered several uranium separation techniques and began purification, but progress was slow.
In December 1941, because Germany's battlefront had stretched
