The Intuition of the Physics Giants! "This Kind of Weapon Can't Possibly Be Built!" Borneo's New Generation!

United States, Berkeley.

After Oppenheimer and Lawrence returned from Rome, they threw themselves back into their research.

The discovery of Uranium Nuclear Fission shocked the academic world, and everything related to it became the hottest topic.

Yet Oppenheimer thought of an extremely terrifying application.

"Lawrence, come take a look."

"Based on the chain reaction of Uranium Nuclear Fission, perhaps we can create a new kind of bomb with immense destructive power."

Lawrence only glanced at the blueprint before immediately understanding the principle behind it.

He could not help drawing in a sharp breath.

"That is indeed possible."

"According to the Mass-Energy Equation, converting just 1 gram of uranium into energy could produce the explosive force of nearly 20,000 tons of TNT."

"That's simply horrifying!"

But he quickly calmed down, because this concept had a fatal difficulty.

"However, only Uranium-235 can undergo a chain reaction, and its abundance is far too low."

"To create the bomb you envision, it would have to be enriched to an extremely high concentration. That would be very difficult."

Oppenheimer nodded gently.

Isotope separation had always been a difficult problem in chemistry.

The properties of uranium's three isotopes were far too similar, making it even more difficult.

"Unless the entire nation's strength is mobilized to produce Uranium-235."

Oppenheimer gave a bitter smile. He felt he was indulging in a wild fantasy.

Even applying for the money to build a Cyclotron was such a struggle for him. How could anyone possibly build this new kind of bomb?

Besides, this only worked in theory. Once examined closely, there would be many problems.

"No matter what, I should still offer this idea to the military."

"If the United States ever reaches a critical moment, perhaps this weapon could reverse the situation."

Lawrence smiled dismissively.

"The United States has no
