"Dr. Jones, what happened?" I saw Indiana Jones leading a group of superhumans into the car in a hurry. The leader of the Allied guards in the car blocked the crowd with his hand. There are important people resting in this car. Even the Justice League can't do it at will. get involved.
"It's okay, Captain Locke, let them in!" An old scientist with a serious face stood up from the sofa and asked with a frown, "Jones, you are in a hurry, can you tell me what happened?"
"Dr. Robert, Captain Locke, an enemy has attacked this military column. I'm afraid we must gather everyone to a safe place." Jones said briefly.
"Is the situation serious?" Dr. Robert was slightly startled and asked nervously.
"We will guarantee everyone's safety, please rest assured!" Jones said with relief, taking off his cowboy hat.
"No, Jones, you don't understand, I'm not worried about my own safety!" The old doctor still grabbed Jones' arm nervously.
"Dr. Robert, you..." Jones looked at the doctor's expression and frowned slightly. In his impression, the old scientist never lost his composure, even on the night when Casablanca was attacked, "... Is there something Things, I don't know yet!"
Dr. Robert, to be precise, Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, another plan of the Allied forces of unconventional warfare, the person in charge of the "Manhattan Project", hesitated for a moment, and cautiously glanced at Captain Locke beside him. .
"Indiana Jones is a patriot, and I trust his integrity!" Locke whispered to Dr. Oppenheimer, tilting his head at Jones. "Come with me, Jones, and you alone."
"No, doctor, although we don't know the identity of the enemy who attacked the military column, we believe it should be the League of Gentlemen in Germany. I alone cannot protect you and all the scientists on board. If you can't trust us, the only thing you can do is Germans." Jones glanced at the superhuman companion behind him, and waved his hand to stop Captain Locke.
"Well, it's better than letting that thing fall into the hands of the Germans!" Dr. Oppenheimer smiled wryly and shook his head, "Please come with me, gentlemen, and when this matter is over, I hope you can save this place." Forget what you see, which may be the only hope of ending the war as quickly as possible."
The entry of Jones and others caused the old doctor to argue with several other scientists in the compartment. However, with the old doctor's angry shout, they finally stopped arguing and acquiesced in the existence of Jones and others.
"Sorry, gentlemen, our work is very important and may have a major impact on the world. They are not ready for outsiders to get in touch with this... Pandora's box!" Dr. Oppenheimer turned around and looked behind him with a bad expression. said the superhuman.
Following the old doctor's signal, Captain Locke took out a silver aluminum can from the safe in the compartment, like a large thermos.
"What is this? Doctor!" Jones and the superhumans behind him looked at each other, they didn't know this thing.
"Jones, you know, they and I have been in charge of a separate military project!" Oppenheimer looked at his fellow scientists and hesitated.
"The Manhattan Project is the same as the super soldier project that created Captain America. The captain mentioned it to me once!" Jones nodded cautiously.
"Actually, this plan has been...successful at the beginning of the year, only the final loading tool is missing!" Oppenheimer bit his lip nervously. Considering his age, this was already a very rude expression. "but… "
"But Einstein stopped us. I have to say, as a pacifist, Dr. Einstein realized the danger of this plan earlier than us!" An old scientist behind Oppenheimer said the interface.
"Yes, Albert is right on this point. If the results of the Manhattan Project are handed over to the army and politicians, they will definitely use them on the European battlefield immediately, in order to end the war as soon as possible!" Oppenheimer said with a sigh .
"Isn't this our common expectation?" Indiana Jones asked doubtfully.
"Of course, this is our common wish! But...it depends on what we are willing to pay for this result!" Oppenheimer seemed to have finally found an outlet for the first time in a long time, and said in a heavy tone, "The entire process of the Manhattan Project It is to create a big bomb, the power is unprecedented, you can't imagine it at all!"
"How powerful is it?"
Although the threat of the League of Gentlemen was imminent, the superhumans of the Justice League subconsciously sensed more dangerous things in the doctor's words, and they couldn't help but listen to it.
"You have already felt the Gneisenau's main guns in Casablanca. The 283mm battleship high-explosive shell has a charge of about 300 kilograms. The bomb produced by the Manhattan Project has an explosion force equivalent to... 40,000 Gneisenau The power of the Sennau main gun shells!" Oppenheimer stared at the crowd expressionlessly.
"Hiss..." There was a gasping voice in the crowd. The superhumans of the Justice League are not ordinary people. Most of them have firm minds and brains, but they are still shocked by the doctor's words.
Everyone suddenly understood why Captain Locke would rather have a gap with the Justice League than allow superhumans other than American Jones to enter the car.
The superhumans in the Justice League are not the only ones in the United States, they come from all over the world. There are also Englishmen, Canadians, Frenchmen, etc., and no one can guarantee that any superhuman will show patriotism and take advantage of the fire for his motherland in the military ranks.
"Dr. Oppenheimer, if it's just because the bomb is too powerful, I can't imagine why Dr. Einstein would stop you. If this war is not ended as soon as possible, I am afraid that the soldiers of all countries will not only have to bear the burden of 40,000 battleships on the battlefield." Cannonballs!" Jones said doubtfully with a flash of his eyes.
"As I said, ending the war is everyone's common desire, but it depends on what price we have to pay!" Oppenheimer said a little irritably, "Our research is absolutely successful in military technology, but the open But it's Pandora's box. The bomb has a flaw that we haven't fixed yet."
When Oppenheimer said this, he frowned and said nothing, but the old doctor who had just spoken behind him took it up.
"When this kind of bomb explodes, it will release light and heat comparable to the sun. Even steel will be vaporized in an instant. The energy is equal to 40,000 battleship shells. Of course, the actual effect is not as great as 40,000 battleship shells.
However, the most frightening thing is that the land after the explosion is radioactive, and the pollution is so serious that there may be no grass for decades. Humans living on this land, even if they were not killed by the bomb on the spot, will continue to get sick and die in the future, and their offspring will have mutated and deformed children. The number of casualties may reach hundreds of thousands, and it is even impossible to count them at all. "
There is no sound in the carriage, the Justice League is different from the League of Gentlemen, and most of the superhumans are based on noble purposes to help the Allies end the war. If the Allies use such inhuman weapons, then how can the Justice League be just.
"Dr. Einstein is right, this kind of thing shouldn't appear!" The crowd was a little commotion, and the superpowers were a little worried.
"Dr. Oppenheimer, I don't understand, since Dr. Einstein opposes the use of this bomb, why does this thing exist!" Indiana Jones pointed to the silver "big vacuum flask" and said with a frown.
"This thing is not a bomb, but its raw material. It contains 50 kilograms of highly enriched uranium 235. It is the result of the efforts of all scientists in the institute over the past few years." The old scientist behind Oppenheimer explained, "It can not only It can make bombs, and it can also be used as nuclear fuel, providing us with an efficient and clean energy, such as electricity!"
"It's ironic, isn't it! The most polluting elements can change into the cleanest energy." Dr. Oppenheimer said with a wry smile, "Actually, not all scientists agree with Dr. Einstein's opinion, I think It's one of those things, and I want to end this war at any cost."
"Dr. Oppenheimer's opinion used to be a minority and was not recognized by everyone. Although he is the head of the institute, other scientists only agree to use these uranium 235 for peaceful purposes!" Another old scientist said somewhat said embarrassingly.
"Ever a minority?" Jones noted keenly the old scientist's words. "So that is, now..."
"Dr. Einstein is now a minority!" Oppenheimer said angrily, without a look of victory on his face, "Thousands of homeless Muslim civilians in Casablanca, and the streets and alleys The dead bodies of innocent people, so that all the scientists present saw the cruelty of the Nazis firsthand."
"We suddenly realized that if the war is not ended as soon as possible, countless civilians will die under the iron heel of the Nazis. Compared with the hundreds of millions of civilians in Europe, the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of civilians seems insignificant."
The face of the old scientist behind Oppenheimer twitched slightly, "The Nazis turned life into a number. If this is a crime, we scientists are also ready to bear it. All of us have already made a decision Once the war is over, we will dedicate the rest of our lives to the humanitarian relief work for the hundreds of thousands of victims of nuclear bombs.”
There was silence in the carriage again. In just a few minutes, the members of the Justice League headed by Jones seemed to have experienced a baptism of life. They hadn't previously realized that while the Justice League was fighting to the death, these scientists were also battling their own demons.
What is clear is that these scientists have been victors ahead of them. No matter what the Manhattan Project turned out to be, these people knew what they were doing and were prepared for the end result.
"Einstein still insisted on his point of view, but he didn't stop us anymore, he just boarded the plane back home!" Oppenheimer waved his hand wearily, "Gentlemen, you all understand now. I want to remind Yours is, no matter what happens, you must first ensure that this thing does not fall into the hands of the Nazis!"
"Doctor, don't worry, we will definitely protect you, and this... big bottle!" There was a firm light in the eyes of Jones and the superhuman behind him.
