Chapter 1373 11372 Late, late: late but arriving
"Has it been triggered?" Seeing that the filming was completed, the assistant casting director, Mrs. Katie, asked in a low voice through the double-sided mirror.
The female reporter nodded first, then shook her head: "The intake should have been successful, but it seems that the differences did not immediately become apparent."
In other words, although several people were granted "Character Patches" blessed by "Time and Space Cache" technology in advance, they successfully activated the law of inverse causality to reset the "entries" with one click. However, the different plot conflicts of "surprises hidden behind the scenes and foreshadowings hidden on the body" did not happen immediately.
This kind of "half-beat slow" hindsight is obviously closely related to the plot delay effect of "hypertemporal cache".
"Then what should we do next?" Mrs. Katie, the assistant casting director, asked again.
"Just wait for the 'plot line to accelerate and wrap up'. What should come will eventually come. Didn't players say, late, late: late but arrived." Chief Casting Assistant War Girl Danielle comforted with a smile.
"That's right." The female reporter also agreed: "Do you want to take 'Sophia Loren's Only Ecology' now, Danielle?"
"Don't be in a hurry. First, stabilize these 'actresses' in the 'Sophia Loren-like only ecosystem' who don't know each other's existence. Try to arrange them in different carriages, and keep classes and schedules as separate as possible. Wait. Leni has completed the re-shooting and editing of the entire "National Glory: The Great War", and the "Jess" has completed the final transformation, and can start our "Eastbound Plan" at any time, and then carry out the final intake. Completed 'Sophia· The construction of Roland's only ecology."
Reshoots for director Leni Riefenstahl have been completed. A first rough cut of the film was also sent to the Third Reich Propaganda Department. Waiting for the personal tasting of Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. And release the modification direction of the second cut.
In keeping with Leni Riefenstahl's lofty status in the world of Nazi cinema. Perhaps only "Uncut," "Uncut" can match the respect paid to her unparalleled cinematic talent.
In other words, the first version of "National Glory: Battle" that has been rough cut is definitely a blockbuster of a very high standard. With the level of film appreciation of Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, it is completely impossible to give any modification suggestions for positive gains. The best way is to continue to report it upwards and let the head of state personally judge it.
The result is no surprise. The first rough cut of "National Glory: The Great Battle" was sent back "intact" and "uncut". It also comes with a commendation order written enthusiastically by the head of state. And the core figure to ensure the normal operation of the set - "Lize Meitner", the "mother of the atomic bomb" who was forced to participate in the "Revenge Weapons Program".
"What's going on?" Lise Meitner, who was secretly delivered to the platform of the broad-gauge test site by a Gestapo special train, surprised everyone, including the female director Leni Riefenstahl.
"Are we being 'spoiled'?" This was the female reporter's first reaction.
When Mrs. Katie, the assistant casting director, arrived, everyone learned the whole story: "Lise Meitner was ordered to secretly build a uranium machine-B-VIII at the GGL Broad-gauge Testing Ground of the Greater Deutsche Locomotive Manufacturers Association. "
The Gotov Test Station of the Army Ordnance Department, where the "Mother of the Atomic Bomb" Lise Meitner was secretly captured and escorted by the Gestapo, has been providing uranium crystals for experimental uranium machines (uranium reactors). These legendary uranium crystals are the real "Cosmic Cube" of the Third Reich - the Nazi "Uranium Cube".
“One day in 2013, Professor Timothy Koeth of the University of Maryland received a package containing a crumpled note that read: ‘Taken from the nuclear reactor Hitler was trying to build in Germany. A gift from Ninger. The item described in the note was a uranium cube that the Nazis used to build a nuclear reactor in the 20s, but the plan later failed. Professor Timothy Coase immediately set out to confirm the authenticity of the uranium cube - whether it really came from Hitler's failed nuclear reactor project. Professor Timothy Coase worked with graduate student Miriam Hiebert to trace the cube's origins. During the research process, the story behind this mysterious uranium cube was shocking. In fact , Germany was already able to create a nuclear reactor during the war, but the project ultimately failed due to competition between different research teams.
This story begins with the nuclear reactor built by Teller. At the end of World War II, the reactor was dismantled by the US military, and the 664 radioactive cubes that had been buried underground by the Nazis were also transported to the United States. Although there was not enough radioactive material in the reactor to operate at full capacity, a team led by Professor Coase discovered in Nazi documents that there was enough radioactive material hidden elsewhere in Germany to allow the reactor to reach full capacity. The extra radioactive cubes were in the hands of another research team at the time, but if scientists from both sides could combine all their uranium into one place, they would have been one step closer to success. The extra 400 mysterious cubes went to the black market after the war, and most of the cubes taken out from the reactor disappeared after being shipped to the United States.
After receiving one of the cubes, Professor Coase's curiosity was piqued. He teamed up with fellow University of Maryland researcher Miriam Hibbert to investigate the reactor's history, and has been working ever since to uncover the reactor's history and track down the remaining parts. .
This B-VIII nuclear reactor was built by Nazi scientists in Berlin at the end of World War II, but was eventually moved to the town of Heigolloch in southwestern Germany. The laboratory built by the Nazis at that time was small in scale and was only used to store potatoes under the town's church. and beer in the cellar. Today, the remnants of the underground facility are open to the public and have been transformed into a museum called the Atomkeller. Among the German scientists involved in the construction of this nuclear reactor was theoretical scientist Werner Heisenberg, one of the founders of quantum mechanics, who was eventually captured by the Allies in 1945.
The 'heart' of the reactor consists of 664 uranium cubes, each 5 centimeters long on a side, like the one held by Professor Coase. They are arranged in a chandelier shape and connected to each other by aviation cables. The reactor core is wrapped in a metal-coated graphite shell and placed in a water tank made of concrete. A "chandelier" made of uranium cubes is suspended in heavy water to control the nuclear reaction. Today, the restoration of the B-VIII nuclear reactor, which was dismantled and damaged by the Allied forces, is displayed in the Atomic Cellar Museum in Heigolloch. The core of these cubic networks is a neutron radiation source. As neutrons bombard the uranium-235 atoms in the cubes, these atoms will split, releasing a large amount of energy and three neutrons, and these three newly generated neutrons will The electrons will bombard three more atoms... one will give rise to two, and two will give rise to three, forming a chain reaction. Nuclear reactions release millions of times more energy than any chemical reaction, and the energy from nuclear fission can in turn convert water into steam, which drives turbines and generates electricity.
It is said that this experiment was the last and closest attempt by the Nazis to create a nuclear reactor that could sustain itself. However, there was not enough uranium in the core of the nuclear reactor to achieve this goal. To achieve the critical mass required for a self-sustaining nuclear reactor, at least 1.5 times the number of uranium cubes needed would be required. Although the 664 cubes at Hegolloch were not enough, there were actually another 400 radioactive cubes elsewhere in Germany at the time, owned by another research team. If the cubes could be added together, the Nazi scientists would have enough uranium to at least bring the nuclear reactor at Hegolloch to full operation.
If the Germans had combined their resources, rather than being held by two competing research teams, they might have been able to build a functioning nuclear reactor. Germany's nuclear research projects were fragmented and competing; in Leicester, they might have been able to build a functioning nuclear reactor. Under the leadership of General Leslie Richard Groves, the Manhattan Project in the United States was united and worked together. This was the biggest difference between the German and American nuclear research projects.
However, there were other factors that prevented the German nuclear test from being successful at that time. Even if another 400 cubes are really transported to Heigolloch and put into the reactor, German scientists will still need more heavy water to allow the reactor to operate normally. As early as 1943, the Allies bombed the Nazi The heavy water production facility inside the Vemork Hydroelectric Power Plant in Norway, where the Norwegian Resistance later sank the freighter carrying all the remaining heavy water from the plant to Germany. At this point, although Germany was the origin of nuclear physics and its nuclear research was nearly two years earlier than that of the United States, Germany failed to pose an imminent nuclear threat until the end of the war.
Professor Coase was shocked when he received the mysterious cube in 2013. He recognized what it was with the help of rough black-and-white photos in history books. The dense uranium cube, which weighs about 2.3 kilograms, was given to him wrapped in a layer of brown paper towels and packed in a small cloth lunch bag. Its weight is impressive for its size. It's always interesting to see the reaction of an uninformed person when he picks it up for the first time. The first thing Professor Coase needs to do is to determine whether the cube really comes from the nuclear reactor at Hegorloch.
The cube's surface is covered with indentations, consistent with early uranium processing techniques from the 40s, and the grooves on both sides may have been used to tie cables. The researchers also measured the energy of gamma rays emitted by the cube to confirm whether it was indeed made of naturally enriched uranium, but the gamma rays emitted by the cube were not emitted by the radioactive isotope cesium-137. of the kind, indicating that it has never been used in a functioning nuclear reactor. The crumpled note sent to Coase with the cube read: "Gift from Nininger." Robert Nininger's name appeared to be spelled more wrongly than correctly. with an 'n') was one of the experts involved in the Manhattan Project that built the United States' first atomic bomb.
According to Ninger's widow, he did possess a uranium cube and later gave it to a friend. After that, the cube may have changed hands several times, and finally ended up in the hands of Professor Coase.
Towards the end of the war, the U.S. military, like other Allied forces, also launched the Althaus mission to find and utilize Nazi scientific research projects. The German nuclear research project was a key target of this operation. On April 1945, 4, Operation Althaus troops occupied the town of Heigolloch and dismantled the nuclear reactor. The soldiers discovered that Nazi scientists still had hidden parts of the nuclear reactor and related data. They found a welding drum containing documents and three drums of heavy water in a manure pit, and a week after occupying the town, they discovered 20 tons of uranium cubes buried in the fields around Hegolloch. , these cubes were transported to the United States, and their final whereabouts gradually became a mystery. Scientists are now launching an operation to try to track down the whereabouts of other cubes from the Hegorloch reactor.
In addition to tracking the cubes sent to the United States, scientists are also eager to know the final fate of the other 400 cubes. These cubes ended up on the European black market after the war and were secretly resold as valuable treasures. The locations of 10 cubes have been determined so far, including one now owned by Harvard University and one owned by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Scientists are encouraging anyone with information to contact them via email in the hope of speaking with as many people as possible who may have come into contact with the cubes. Professor Coase is now loaning his cube to a museum to give the public a glimpse of what it looks like, which could be a good way to help find the remaining mysterious cubes.
