On January 15, 2783, the White House.

"..." US President Garner sat in front of his computer and spoke silently.

This is an Asus-6 personal computer. The latest version of the computer that can be purchased on the international market currently uses a 32-bit processor. In terms of function, it is roughly equivalent to the Pentium 2 in later generations. Of course, there are better ones in China, but those are not external.

The current price of personal computers is still relatively expensive, and it is far from almost everyone who owns one like later generations. Apart from China itself, the American people are the largest user group. Among them, the government, the army, schools, research institutes and companies use it much. When China began to export personal computers in 1934, the world's powers went crazy.

They are all trying to copy it, but the technical gap is too big, and the integrated circuits and other things inside completely exceed their process capabilities. Moreover, because the personal computers of this plane used the window operating system from the beginning, the ability to prevent the copying is more excellent, not only hardware, but also software cannot copy it. Because the personal computers launched by this plane have a very disgusting design, that is, users cannot program on their own.

Therefore, if you want to use Chinese computers, you must buy genuine software. Within at least thirty years, foreign countries will not be able to copy or compile software by themselves. As for counterfeiting hardware, it is estimated that they will have to add ten years. Within 40 years, they will not be able to create a personal computer of this level.

Of course, the cactus classmate can afford it. He bought this computer himself. What makes him silent now is not the computer problem. It is the content on the display screen.

The page of the official website of the National Bureau of Statistics of China displayed on the browser is the specific content of some industrial and agricultural data released by the Chinese government in 1942. Of course, for accuracy, Ghana was reading the original version of the Chinese version. It doesn’t matter if he couldn’t understand some words, but there is a plug-in translation software.

It’s not that the cactus students can’t understand it, but the astronomical numbers above are thundered.

The output of raw steel is 1.2 billion tons, the output of raw coal is 2.7 billion tons, the output of oil is 100 million tons, the output of yarn is 20 million tons, the output of grain is 1.2 billion tons, the power generation is 23.8 billion megawatts, the operating railway is 860,000 kilometers, and the merchant ship ownership is 114 million tons...

What kind of Godzilla monster is this? And these data are only China's own production, not including the group of SARS satellite countries. The most important thing is that China has not mobilized now, but is just producing according to the routine. Well, there are more than the routine. Because there are too many orders, these data are not considered limits.

"Hey..." Although China's industrial industry has long surpassed the United States, Ghana felt a deep sense of powerlessness when he saw the speechless shocking data. In fact, Cactus students didn't know that China's current industrial and agricultural output was the result of Wen Desi's suppression. At this time, for the sake of sustainable development, if it was explosive, these data would be even more shocking.

"Damn, how much do Chinese people like to make steel! 1.2 billion tons! Each of them can get 1,300 kilograms of steel! It's so crazy!" Garner muttered while drinking coffee. There's no way, the steel production in the United States has just exceeded 100 million tons, and the difference between the two countries is almost 11 times! This is a desperate number.

At this time, Ghana turned a page with his mouse, and the statistics of China's imported materials were astonishingly large. Suddenly, Ghana found that the problem in this table was only iron ore, copper ore, coal, grain, meat, wood and other bulk materials were relatively detailed, but there were many types, and some were not in the quantity.

For example, uranium mines, the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China only have a "small amount". China has imported uranium mines and rare earths in the United States since 1909. Garner remembers it very clearly because his family had several uranium mines. From the 1920s to the 1930s, it was the peak of China's import of uranium mines. It imported more than 300,000 to 400,000 tons from the United States every year. After the outbreak of World War II, exports decreased, but last year there were 280,000 tons. Of course, the uranium mines bought by China only passed the primary ore, with an average grade of about 1%.

"280,000 tons and a small amount!" Garner felt that this was too shameless.

But this doesn't matter. What's important is that Ghana finally remembered something about uranium mines.

It was in 1940, and several American scientists suggested to him that they could use uranium to create a super bomb. In the original time and space, this matter was proposed by Enrico Fermi in 1938. As for the history of the plane, since 1910, Wen Desi has been carrying out the "Pig Teammates" plan, turning some important and well-known scientists to China, or completely bringing their professions, and using the resources they have mastered to ban things related to nuclear fission weapons.

But we all know that human thoughts cannot be confined. Even under Wen Desi's strong intervention, these related theoretical studies have only been lagged behind, rather than disappeared.

In the original space-time, as several important figures of the US nuclear weapons program, such as Einstein and Fermi, were abducted to China, and some of them were led by their "pig teammates" to have their majors wrong, and some of them encountered various accidents. However, after human technology has developed to a certain extent, other people will appear. The famous people in the original space-time have disappeared, but other talents have come. The United States is also the second largest industrial power in the world, and it is normal for several nuclear physicists who have been ignored in the original space-time. Not only the top powers such as the United States, Germany, Britain and the Soviet Union, but also gradually know the theory of the atomic bomb.

And there is another very important reason, that is, China launched computers in advance. Everyone knows that computers are an important technology accelerator in China. With one plus and one subtraction, the theoretical research on nuclear weapons in the original plane is only delayed by two or three years compared to the original time and space.

Of course, for Wen Desi, this time is enough.

However, at that time, Garner did not pay attention to this kind of thing. He felt that the theory of using ore as a bomb was too subverting his common sense, and it was a completely fantasy. However, when he learned that Er Dezi and the Soviet Union were also studying this weapon, he took it a little more attention and ordered the establishment of a "uranium advisory committee" to make a preliminary assessment of the related issues. However, at that time, he had not really realized the importance of the atomic bomb, so this department was almost forgotten by him.

The content on the web page reminded him all of a sudden, so he immediately found an official from the "Uranium Advisory Committee" to inquire about the progress.

Lehman Briggs, chairman of the Uranium Advisory Committee, soon came with a lot of information. So Comrade Cactus learned several news, including good, bad, and not good or bad.

After nearly two years of bureaucratic evaluation process, the committee gave him a clear answer. Erdezi is indeed developing an atomic bomb, which is bad news. However, there is not much uranium mine stock on the German territory, which is good news. Another bad news is that the United States and its allies do not have much uranium mine stock. The last news that I don’t know the good or bad is that Germany and the United States have not much uranium mine stock because of the large-scale procurement by China and some companies...

"God, how much uranium mine did the Chinese sell?" Garner was shocked.

"Mr. President, we cannot know the specific quantity, because according to our investigation, the amount of uranium mines has suddenly increased since 1909. This ore was not popular before. Only some scientists and laboratories would buy it in small quantities. After 1909, a large number of uranium mines suddenly appeared on the market."

"Isn't it China?"

"Of course there are Chinese people who buy them in the name of personal scientific experiments and universities, research institutes, etc. Although there are many, the quantity is less than one-tenth of the order volume. The other parts are bought by some companies, but these companies have them in various countries. We also investigated all relevant American companies and found that these companies also re-sold them, so we don't know the final flow of these uranium mines, unless we can investigate all countries..."

Briggs took out a list and said: "We estimate based on existing data that in the 33 years from 1909 to 1942, the world's uranium mined and sold was about 18 million tons. This data is not complete, but the United States itself exported 6.2 million tons. Here we can confirm that there are at least 2 million tons of inflows into China. If we join, there should be no less than 7 million uranium mines flowing into China..."

Yes, those vest companies are all from Wendesi, but they obviously underestimated the amount of plundering of Wendesi. In recent years, Wendesi has plundered in countries around the world, and purchased about 30 million tons of uranium ore in various names and vest companies. Basically, 95% of the uranium ore that are currently known and proven to be easy to mine in the United States has been bought. The remaining are bituminous uranium ore that is much more expensive, and the more uranium containing phosphates are uranium. (Note that the quantity here refers to the number of primary ore, not the amount of uranium metal)

"Mr. President, the committee's recommendation is that the United States needs to immediately limit the export of all uranium mines in its domestic and controlled areas to prevent the continued loss of uranium mines. The same should be true for the SAE allies..."

Garner felt cold after hearing this. He personally didn't believe in any secret weapons, because he understood the strength of the United States. Even at the last moment, the United States still had hundreds of thousands of tons of poison gas for use, which was much more powerful than the atomic bombs mentioned by scientists.

But no one else has anything he doesn't have, so that's nothing. However, since China has purchased so many uranium mines, this atomic bomb is probably not as simple as he originally thought. He hurriedly asked, "Has China built an atomic bomb?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. President," Briggs shrugged: "We cannot evaluate this. If you want to ask me what I think, I can only say that even if China has not yet built an atomic bomb, they should be developing related technologies. But China has gone a long way in the research on nuclear power generation. Since 1929, they have begun to import large amounts of ore in the name of the country in the name of developing new energy."

"Why? Tell me your reasons."

"Mr. President, according to our investigation, China has banned exports and even mining for all radioactive deposits in its territory since 1910. Moreover, in the official information released by China, any information about radioactive deposits is extremely rare. This is abnormal. We believe that this is intentional cover-up by the Chinese government. However, they continue to search and purchase uranium mines from all over the world under scientific research or other names. Whether it is us, major powers such as Britain, Germany, France, Japan and the Soviet Union, there are more or less scientists studying nuclear physics and have achieved some results to varying degrees in terms of nuclear weapons."

"China also has a group of scientists specializing in nuclear physics, but their research results over the years are mostly about nuclear power generation, and their level is quite high. They have little to say about nuclear weapons and have not put forward a valuable paper. It is hard for us to believe that people who know so much about nuclear power generation will not understand nuclear weapons because the two are very close. It is hard for us to imagine that they will use all their uranium mines to study how to generate electricity. In academia, this is very abnormal!"

Garner said with a serious expression: "That's true. I know that Wen Desi is very concerned about various energy projects. In recent years, he has promoted several new energy technology developments, such as wind power generation, tidal power generation, geothermal power generation, solar power generation, etc. I also know that China has built several experimental nuclear power plants. But even if he wants to develop nuclear power plants, he does not need to purchase millions of tons of uranium ore, and there is no need to ban China's uranium ore exports. No one will compete with him for uranium ore."

"You are right, it's true. I have visited all the nuclear power plants in China. Judging from the scale, it is absolutely impossible to use so many uranium mines. This thing cannot be eaten as bread..."

Garner stood up and said, "Mr. Briggs, I will immediately approve it. The United States must start research on atomic bombs and atomic energy as soon as possible. In addition, any uranium mine exports in the United States will be banned from now on!"

"Yes, Mr. President." Briggs was about to retreat, but was stopped by Garner.

"Mr. Briggs, please set up a special task force as soon as possible to comprehensively evaluate China's current scientific and technological standards. I mean everything, all aspects." Garner ordered.
Chapter completed!
