Chapter 55 Tracking Oppenheimer's Footprints

"Just do it!" Diglio followed Handmark and said, helplessly with a tough determination. As a promising young imperial officer, how could he tolerate being placed in the fate of being stranded in the United States?

"Do it!" Brewer couldn't wait to respond.

Among the four, only the short Weather was left. He had a relatively unique language skill in the entire intelligence team, French. So the identity he arranged was an arms dealer from France. Although the French government could not issue a real passport to such a guy, the German army occupied France for many years, and the SS intelligence department's ability to make French passports has reached the point of being fake and real.

"Since this is where I can't say anything else?" Weather still looked at Lynn with annoyance. "Do you really think it makes sense to do this?"

Lynn also asked himself many times along the way. He thought that he was just trying to survive on the Eastern Front battlefield. Later, he joined the "Vampire" commando, and gradually had the idea of ​​using German combat resources to make a career for the post-war career. He accidentally joined the "Aryan Ark Plan". After experiencing ups and downs, he now chose to withdraw from his difficulties. Many years later, when he was in a chair, he sat in a chair and watched the sunset look back on his life. He must regret that he had missed the fork in history!

In response to Weather's identity and personality traits, Lyn accurately retorted: "If we stay at the base without doing anything, do you think everything will be fine? Technology is changing with each passing day. When the United States creates a super weapon, we will have no room for strategic revival and rise. Going further apart, how can a mere 10,000 or 20,000 people develop technology in caves with limited conditions, and how can speed and efficiency be comparable to those of an opponent backed by international strength? Look at this university outside the window, one of the best universities in the United States, there are thousands of senior talents and scientific elites here, as well as sufficient research funds and high-tech laboratories. How to compare? Take a little strategic vision, and in the past few years, we can still rely on the technology of the heyday to maintain a balance of power. The gap will only get bigger and bigger. If you want to do big things, you must take advantage of the present!"

Although these words are analyzed based on the trajectory of historical development, they are very convincing in terms of emotion and reason, Lynn soon discovered that not only Weather, but the other three were also looking at him with strange eyes. After calming down his emotions, Lynn immediately reacted: these words obviously criticized the current strategies of the senior leaders of the empire. Even if they were right, they did not conform to his identity as a little lieutenant.

Helplessly, Lynn placed the bag containing 24 diamonds in front of everyone and used his last killer move.

"This was handed over to me by General Bach before he left. Obviously, he was also wary of Bertleme. Yesterday I went to the Jewelry Store to estimate the price. One was worth about $500, which was only more than $10,000, and it seemed that it would not play a big role. But I thought about it all night last night. Since your team is responsible for the trading of arms and firearms, it should be useful when dealing with arms and firearms. Commander Handmark, you have a comprehensive military ability; Commander Digrio, you are particularly proficient in military arts; Hotm, you are a shooting genius. You each have extremely valuable talent, but Brewer, although the military is not good, has an extremely important advantage, that is, business experience. I was not qualified to make such an arrangement, but now that things have come to this point, if we don't work together, we will be completely hopeless to succeed!"

After saying that, Lynn pushed Brewer with a small bag filled with diamonds: "The action requires raising funds, reliable information channels, weapons and ammunition reserves, do your best to do it, and I have enough confidence in you."

With such a heavy trust, Brewer smiled bitterly. While putting the bag in his pocket, he said: "Sir, the most difficult thing in business is to start from scratch. One day, he will be successful and proud."

After handing over the diamond, Lynn suddenly felt relieved and said goodbye to his companions for the second time. He stood up and left, and took Tanze and Tchimeer to the train station.

From Massachusetts on the east coast of the United States to California on the west coast, this distance actually spans the whole United States from east to west, with a straight line of more than 3,800 kilometers and a railway track distance of more than 4,500 kilometers. It took several months to take a boat or land route. In 1869, the Pacific Railway was opened, and people were able to complete such a journey in such a very convenient way as a train. In the past, the continuous improvement of power technology has also led to the speed of trains running in the past hundred years. With a significant acceleration, the time to travel across the United States was nearly half from the first week. Of course, if you are willing to spend more money on regular American Airlines flights, it takes less time from New York to San Francisco. Lynn chose the railway because the funding was not the first factor, but because he was worried that he would undergo a more stringent identity check when riding on the plane, not to mention that he needed to make up for his physics as he did before the college exam.

It was July 1 that the group of three people arrived at the famous University of California. In the eyes of others, this seemed just an ordinary summer day, but Lynn knew that the Potsdam Conference in history was only half a month away. I believe that the Imperial Commando, who were selected for the last 50 people, had embarked on a dangerous journey, and I don’t know if Noah was on the list. Putting aside these untimely thoughts, he walked into the campus with a different feeling, feeling the familiar atmosphere, but no longer relived the curiosity and anxiety of the school entrance examination. In order to find out the news about Oppenheimer, he chose the most direct and technically difficult route: find the physics experts staying in school in the name of communication scholars, ask questions they cannot answer, and naturally ask the whereabouts of those who can answer the questions.

Theoretical research is different from historical and military affairs. Lynn received quality education more than 60 years later. However, looking through the physics books and papers purchased by bookstores along the way, he realized that the basic physics knowledge he mastered was no longer a profound problem in this era. The first physics teacher found at the University of California was an old man who was about to retire. He saved away those inconspicuous lightweight problems and directly used the "big move": the fusion reaction model.

It is unimaginable for a non-physics undergraduate graduate to write formulas for nuclear fusion reaction without dams and preparations. The books and materials collected from the bookstore gave Lynn room to play. Einstein's mass-energy equations, the experimental physicist Hahn, female physicist Metternier jointly published an experimental subject, the theoretical papers of Italian "quantum engineer" Fermi, and even some papers by Heisenberg, the 1932 Nobel Prize winner in physics. In these materials that ordinary people think are so profound that they are word-of-word, the mystery of nuclear physics has long been revealed. What Lynn did was to use his own insights to piece together relevant formulas and models and put them in front of real physics experts. This is probably a strange thing, but real physics experts have pulled them to the Manhattan Project!

The old man with only a few hairs neatly combed, stared at the manuscript that Lin En took out for a long time before touching his chin and saying, "My research direction is applied mechanics, your question... I know who can answer it."

This is exactly the answer Lynn is waiting for, and he pretends to be surprised and asks, "Who?"

"But even if I tell you, you won't see you now." The old man said in silence. It's a pity that Lin En knew exactly what was in his gourd.

Lynn immediately played the long-simmering emotional card: "These questions have troubled me for a long time, and in fact... they have also troubled several of the most senior scholars at La Plata National University. They entrusted me to bring the answers back, and the most respected of them is in a bad state."

"It's not that I won't help you!" the old man said helplessly, "These people have been recruited by the government's confidential projects, and I don't know where they are."

Lin Neng clasped his hands and said, "As soon as I met, I felt you were a kind angel! Look, I came here from Argentina thousands of miles away. Are you waiting here? In any case, I must try it, even for my most respected mentor Dr. Hargus..."

The old man hesitated for a moment, and saw that Lin Neng was sincere, he whispered reluctantly: "You may go to New Mexico to try your luck and find a doctor named Robert Oppenheimer."

"New Mexico?"

Of course, Lynn knew that the first atomic bomb was detonated in the desert of New Mexico, but according to his own memory and understanding, shouldn’t the laboratory and the main scientific researchers be in Oak Ridge in eastern Tennessee?

"There was a letter sent from New Mexico not long ago. Although there was no specific address left on the envelope, the letter mentioned that the weather was very dry and life was boring, but everyone was still full of energy." After saying this, the old man was unwilling to talk about it anymore, just kept shaking his head.

After walking around, I didn't expect that the clue was still in the desert of New Mexico. Lynn was both puzzled and worried. Could it be that Oak Ridge was like the "1st Army Group" before the Allied forces launched the Battle of Normandy, which was simply used to cover up the situation. Then, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to let Walrich and Fyke go to the local owners in that area?

If it was an era when I was carrying a mobile phone, Lynn could send a text message to his accomplices: New Mexico has a lot of room for appreciation, so come quickly. However, when the intelligence network is not sound, if you want to convey the message, you either send a code-language telegram to Boston, and then transfer it from Bertleme's operation contact to the land buying team that has already set out for Tennessee, or simply ask Tanze or Tecmer to go directly. However, regardless of the choice, it will take time to go to New Mexico to find out. After thinking about it, Lynn decided to go to New Mexico in person first to find out.
