Chapter 985 Controlling Fermi

When it was time to leave work, the scientists and engineers went home. These scientists and engineers came from all over the country, but after being hired to participate in research here, they all found houses to live in this city.

Moreover, these people all rent houses and very few buy houses here, because they all know that this plan will end sooner or later, and when the research plan is completed, they will still have to go back to where they came from.

After seeing Fermi drive out of the laboratory, Zhang Yunhe immediately started his car and chased after him.

Twenty minutes later, Fermi's car stopped in front of a flower shop. He got out, went inside, picked up a bouquet, and turned to get back into his car when a voice called out to him, "Mr. Fermi?"

Fermi stopped and turned to look in the direction the voice came from. A middle-aged man in a suit asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Yunhe stepped forward with a smile and said, "You can call me Mr. K. Mr. Fermi bought flowers and is in such a hurry to leave. If he wants to meet with Mrs. Johnson, I think we need to have a good talk!"

Fermi's expression changed drastically. "You...how did you know? Who are you? What do you want?"

Zhang Yunhe pointed ahead and said, "There's a coffee shop up ahead. I'm a bit thirsty, let's go grab a drink, Mr. Fermi?"

After saying that, Zhang Yunhe walked towards the coffee shop.

Fermi's expression shifted, but in the end he had no choice but to follow.

Zhang Yunhe found a table by the window in the coffee shop and snapped his fingers at the waiter.

The waiter approached and bowed, asking, "Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhang Yunhe handed over a banknote as a tip and said, "Give us each a cup of coffee!"

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment!" The waiter took the bill and turned to leave.

After the waiter left, Fermi couldn't hold back any longer: "Mr. K, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Zhang Yunhe looked at Fermi, smiled, and said, "I heard that Mr. Fermi currently has three girlfriends: Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Creon, and Mrs. Gauss!"

"I know Johnson. He started from nothing and spent twenty years climbing his way up to the position of city councilor. There are rumors that several of his political enemies died mysteriously. Of course, I'm not saying that those deaths were related to him! What do you think he would do if he knew that someone had cheated on him?"

Fermi's face turned pale instantly.

Zhang Yunhe continued, "Mrs. Creon is a playful woman. I heard she used to be a singer? No wonder, she's beautiful and sings well, and most importantly, she's a public figure. Wouldn't it be very fulfilling to be her boyfriend? And it's a secret relationship, pretty exciting, right?"

"But I heard that her husband, Mr. Creon, is a notorious mafia boss in the area. If Mr. Creon finds out that his backyard has been robbed, do you think he'll drag you out into the street and tear you to pieces?"

Fermi was terrified; beads of sweat dripped down his pale face.

Just then, the waitress brought over two cups of coffee. After placing the coffee on the table, she noticed that Fermi's complexion was off and quickly asked with concern, "Sir, are you alright? If you're not feeling well, you should see a doctor as soon as possible."

Zhang Yunhe smiled and said to the waiter, "He's fine, he just has a bit of a cold, a cup of hot coffee will make him better!"

The waiter looked suspicious, but nodded and turned to leave.

"And then there's Mrs. Gauss. She has such a great figure that even I can't help but be attracted to her. No wonder you like her. But her husband, Mr. Gauss, is apparently the warden of the state prison. What do you think would happen if he found out about your relationship with his wife? Would he try everything to get you into his prison? And how would he deal with you then?"

Fermi was trembling uncontrollably.

Zhang Yunhe took out a stack of photos and placed them on the table, which became the last straw that broke Fermi's back.

Fermi grabbed the photos and looked at them one by one. With each photo, his face paled a little more. After looking at more than a dozen photos, his face had turned completely ashen.

"What...what exactly do you want to do?" he asked, trembling.

Zhang Yunhe took out a cigarette case, shook it, and handed one out: "Don't rush, have a cigarette to calm your nerves!"

Fermi took the cigarette, lit it with the match Zhang Yunhe had struck, and took several deep drags.

Zhang Yunhe lit another cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "The Alamos Laboratory was only recently built and put into use, right? What does it do?"

Fermi hunched over, curled up, looked up at Zhang Yunhe, took two puffs of his cigarette, and said, "It's specifically for nuclear weapons research!"

"Nuclear weapons? What are those?" Zhang Yunhe pretended not to know, just to see if Fermi would be honest.

Fermi stated, "Currently, many scientists in the physics community believe that it is possible to use large amounts of uranium to build a nuclear chain reactor, thereby generating enormous energy and large quantities of new radium-like elements. It is now almost certain that this will be realized in the near future!"

"This will guide the design of the bomb, and it is possible that such a bomb could be manufactured, and a single bomb of this magnitude, if its yield is sufficient, could release enough energy to destroy a city."

"Reports confirm that the Germans are also conducting similar research. Some of our physicists have written to the higher authorities suggesting that such a research program be launched immediately, so that we can manufacture this powerful bomb before the Germans, and thus avoid being controlled by them in the future."

"So, this laboratory was built in just two months. I believe that more and more scientists, engineers, and military personnel will come to work in this laboratory!"

After listening, Zhang Yunhe asked, "Why are there so many military personnel in a laboratory?"

Fermi said, "Because this research program is led by the military, and it involves military weapons, of course military personnel will be involved!"

"What are your main responsibilities in this plan?" Zhang Yunhe asked.

“My job is mainly to lead the construction of an experimental nuclear reactor!” Fermi replied.

Zhang Yunhe nodded and then asked, "So, has this experimental nuclear reactor been completed yet?"

Fermi shook his head: "Not yet, but we've already started building one at the University of Chicago, and it's still under construction. I'm here to oversee the construction of this experimental nuclear reactor."
