Genius Conception! Turning the Impossible into Possible! Shocking the Entire Room! One Thought Decides the Life and Death of Hundreds of Millions!
Inside the Mountain Division conference room.
When the six of them heard that they had to build an atomic bomb within a year, every one of them was utterly shocked.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
The Water Division factory could only produce 20 kilograms of Uranium-235 a year.
Even if efficiency improved later on, 25 kilograms would be the absolute limit.
But an implosion-type atomic bomb required at least 52 kilograms of Uranium-235.
And factoring in losses, to be safe, the final amount would definitely exceed 52 kilograms—at least 60 kilograms.

"Dean, we know you're extremely anxious."
"Dr. Ma was captured. We're all furious too—we wish we could go bomb the Cherry Blossom Clan right now."

Hearing this, Li Qiwei merely smiled in gratification.
The children had finally grown up. They had learned to question authority.
Right now, he was like some ancient tyrant who, having grown old, had begun to grow muddleheaded—his head overheating as he indulged in wild fantasies regardless of reality.
And these disciples of his were upright, unyielding ministers, arguing on solid grounds
