Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Daxia's weapons manufacturing and development are unprecedented and long-term.

Only those who have been exposed to the rain can understand the pain after being exposed to the rain.

In the past, Daxia was a country whose doors were smashed open by Western countries with weapons, and it suffered from being left behind. Therefore, Daxia's investment in scientific research, weapons manufacturing, and education was far greater than that of other countries.

The reason is that Daxia will not make the same mistake again in the future.

It's just that Lin Yi is still not satisfied when he sees the development of Daxia.

In his opinion, Daxia has become stronger now. But it is still not strong enough to ignore all the countries in the world.

Daxia does not have a trump card of his own, and he has not yet hung the Sword of Damocles over the heads of the Western countries.

This Sword of Damocles is also the rumored atomic bomb.

In fact, Lin Yi had already started planning to forge the Sword of Damocles belonging to Daxia more than ten years ago. It's just that this plan has never been implemented.

First of all, Daxia's education level is low and its domestic industry is imperfect. For a country that doesn't even have complete infrastructure, it's sheer fantasy to develop a nuclear bomb.

Not to mention other things, even if Lin Yi wanted to find a research institute in this field and form a research team, he couldn't do it.

Due to some reasons, the government-sponsored overseas students before the Great Xia Dynasty mainly went to the West to study technology, such as shipbuilding, railway manufacturing, architecture, civil engineering and other subjects. Few people would choose the kind that requires a lifetime investment. But there may not be grades in chemistry or physics subjects.

Even if you choose, it may be some practical branches of physics rather than nuclear energy.

As a result, the empire wants to find a certain number of nuclear energy researchers, but scientists are unable to find them, and there is no enough scientific research power to develop these things.

If you want to make a nuclear weapon, you can't simply say a word, or simply get a piece of uranium-233 or uranium-235, then stuff it into a bomb and detonate it.

The disciplines and engineering involved are massive. A lot of calculations are required.

This is why, even if the later generations of Millijan knew the formula for making an atomic bomb, it still took 2 or 3 years to make it.

Everything in Daxia must be made from scratch, and the time required will definitely be longer than this time.

However, it was only 1911 when Lin Yi planned it, which was ten years ago. It was also from that time that Lin Yi began to prepare.

Under Lin Yi's intervention, within ten years some of the international students studying in Europe were placed to study with various physics experts in Europe, especially those with nuclear physicists.

In the past ten years, the number of researchers and scientists in the empire in the field of nuclear energy has reached more than 1500. There are more than 40 nuclear energy research institutes, large and small.

Of course, Lin Yi did not reveal this plan in advance. He directly listed these research institutes under the names of various academies of science, and then labeled the Western Zhejiang Research Institute with a number instead of a name.

The defense forces of these research institutes are also directly drawn from the Longxiang Army or the Beijing Camp, ensuring the loyalty of the guard forces.

But even after ensuring the safety of these research institutes, Lin Yi still did not start research in this area, and just asked them to conduct independent research on nuclear energy.

But now, Lin Yi feels that the time has come, so he plans to launch the "Burning Sky" plan.

In February 1922, the second year of the Xia Empire's rise to power, a strange transfer order was suddenly sent to various nuclear physics research institutes.

This transfer order is a stamped order from the Imperial Military Department, the Imperial Cabinet, and the Emperor's Seal. The last time this kind of three-party stamping occurred was when the Empire joined the Allied Powers and declared war on the Allied Powers.

Seeing such a mysterious transfer order that did not specify any tasks and required them to arrive at Luo City in the west of the empire as soon as possible, research institutes all over the empire felt like they were facing a powerful enemy and did not dare to neglect it at all. They immediately ordered all the researchers to assemble, and then prepared to rush to Luocheng without stopping.

But what they didn't expect was that they, the researchers and scientists, would be taken directly to a newly built secret base by soldiers from the Beijing camp after getting off the train.

Even when they went to this secret base, they were blindfolded the entire time before being taken to the base.

When the blindfold was taken off, these researchers and scientists all frowned slightly. They could see that this base was obviously newly built.

Because until now, there are still many engineers and soldiers working nervously in this base. Some people are carrying daily necessities such as tables, chairs and benches into the base, and some engineers are moving some precision instruments into the base.

The whole scene looked very chaotic, but also revealed a trace of orderliness.

How to describe it, it's like this base is an ant nest, these busy engineers are worker ants, and there is a queen ant commanding them.

However, what surprised them most about this base was that every isolation door inside the base was very thick. According to visual inspection, the thickness was more than 30 centimeters thick.

Some researchers who study materials science can tell that these doors seem to be isolation doors with lead added.

Almost at the same time, all the scientists and researchers present were asking themselves crazily where they were and what they were going to do here.

Just when these scientists were thinking wildly, they heard a burst of footsteps behind them.

Everyone turned around and saw that Lin Yi had walked in with a group of senior officers with general titles hanging on their shoulders.

When everyone saw Lin Yi coming with someone, they couldn't help but make way for them. Lin Yi walked directly through the crowd and walked in front of them.

Facing everyone, Lin Yi showed a smile on his face, and then looked at everyone pretending to be relaxed.

"Everyone, thank you for coming all the way. I'm sorry, but I have to call you here in this way. Because you are called here for a plan, a plan that can make the empire stand. A program at the forefront of countries around the world.”

"I know that this plan is full of challenges and uncertainties, and even requires us to make great efforts and sacrifices. However, I believe that you are all the elites of the empire, and you all have fearless courage and unyielding spirit. You all They all have the determination to fight to the end for the honor and interests of the empire."

"I also know that this plan may be opposed and obstructed by some people. They may laugh at us, belittle us, or even attack us. However, I believe that you will not be swayed by their words. You will not You will be intimidated by their actions. You will use your wisdom and strength to overcome all difficulties and obstacles to achieve our goals."

"I know better that this plan requires us to unite and fight together. We cannot have any differences or internal fighting, and we cannot have any hesitation or retreat. We must believe in each other, support each other, and help each other. We must be like a Like fists, clenched tightly together to deliver the most powerful blow."

"Everyone, this plan is our mission, our responsibility, and our honor. We cannot live up to the expectations of the empire, and we cannot live up to the choices of history. We must use our lives to defend our country, to defend our nation to defend our civilization.”

"Let us move forward bravely for the future of the empire, for the glory of Daxia, and for our beliefs!"

"Now the king officially announces: The Burning Sky Plan is officially launched!"
