Chapter 350 Funeral

German radio broadcast an urgent news break.

"Announcing the sad news that Dr. Albert, the founder and founder of modern physics and a leading figure in the scientific community, has unfortunately passed away."

This sentence seems to have dropped a heavy bomb on the scientific community around the world.

Albert is the greatest physicist of our time. He loves physics and devotes his life to the theoretical research of physics. People call him the Copernicus of the 20th century and the Newton of the 20th century.

How could such a great man die?

However, what came out on the radio next made everyone extremely angry.

"The American passenger ship 'New Jersey' on which Dr. Albert was traveling was attacked by a British submarine when it passed near Fair Isle. Although our aircraft patrolling nearby arrived in time and sank the British submarine, it was of no avail. The arriving rescue ship found several corpses and hull fragments. What was even more shocking was that a large number of machine gun warheads were found on these corpses and fragments. Experts confirmed that these warheads came from Bren machine guns in active service in the British Army. .

Obviously, after the British submarine sank the neutral passenger ship, instead of carrying out rescue, it carried out a brutal massacre! This is simply a human challenge!

This is the bestial behavior produced by the so-called gentleman country! "

"Dr. Albert is peace-loving. He has not participated in the development of any war weapons. All his scientific research results are for the happiness of mankind..."

Of course, the UK immediately denied it, but Germany later held a press conference, showing the salvaged submarine wreckage, the bodies of two submarine sailors, documents proving the identities of the two bodies, and the bodies of several passenger passengers. .

"We will not let the sacrifice of Dr. Albert and the innocent German people be in vain. I hereby officially declare that in retaliation, our troops will bomb London indiscriminately. And from this moment on, any ship entering British waters will be regarded as a threat to this Funded by the evil empire, the German submarine force will launch unrestricted submarine warfare against Britain without warning. We must completely remove this cancer in Europe!"

Dr. Albert died in great glory.

Because the remains of Dr. Albert and his wife could not be found, the work clothes he often wore during his lifetime and several books could only be buried in the Imperial Royal Cemetery.

This Imperial Cemetery is modeled after Arlington National Cemetery in the United States. Those who will be buried here in the future will be those senior military officers who died in the war, outstanding politicians and national workers who died in the line of duty, and people who made outstanding contributions in a certain field. In short, resting here will be regarded as an honor for those who rest in peace.

A large number of government officials and famous figures in the scientific community, headed by Yannick, attended the funeral that day.

Yannick first read a touching eulogy and then posthumously awarded Dr. Albert the highest national medal, the Order of the Empire. This medal is a smaller version of the German flag and represents the highest honor awarded by the country. He also personally spent 100 million marks to establish a scientific scholarship in the name of Dr. Albert, which deeply moved the colleagues in the scientific community present.

After putting on a "pretend" show, Yannick felt very sad. Dr. Albert, why are you doing this? You have to go to the United States. Doesn't this force me to take action? After all, I don’t want Americans to grow mushroom eggs. That's good. You who could have enjoyed all the honors and applause now end up dead without a burial. Your scientific mind is well developed, but unfortunately your ideological realm is too narrow. Do you think autocratic dictatorship will hinder human development? This time, I will let you see how I overthrow the free country in your mind and lead mankind to explore space.

After silently despising him in his heart, Yannick walked to Turing who was crying in tears, patted his shoulder and comforted him. "Ellen, don't be sad. This is war. There will always be people who will use all kinds of despicable means to try to reverse the situation."

Turing asked, choking. "But why don't they surrender?"

Yannick sighed softly. "I also wonder why they didn't surrender. The expeditionary force was completely wiped out, and the proud Armada was also defeated, but they just refused to surrender. That's why I want to defeat them completely. If If you give them a chance to breathe, their counterattack will be terrible. Let’s not talk about it. How is the research work?”

Turing wiped his tears and replied. "Your Highness, the machine will enter final assembly testing in a few days."

"Your teacher in Heaven will also be happy to see you being the first to receive the bonus established in his name."

"But Your Highness, why did you order to assemble five machines at once? I can't guarantee that there will be no problems after the machine is assembled."

"That's still a small amount. If possible, I would like to assemble ten or twenty units at once. There are too many places that need that machine. Aviation, medicine, chemical industry, military...the future is its world."

Historically, the first computer was born in 1946, and it was used to calculate the trajectory of ballistic missiles.

Now, Germany also has an urgent need in this regard. German rockets have begun to develop towards a range of thousands of kilometers. They rely on hand-cranked calculators to calculate ballistics. It takes a room of people to calculate for several months before they can get the results.

Although it is a few years early, it is not impossible, as long as there is enough investment, and Germany still has technological advantages. Transistors have been successfully developed and have begun to be used in many devices. Using transistors to make computers is much better than electron tubes. We need to be an advanced generation!

"As for the problem, Alan, don't forget what I said. We are the pioneers of the times and the leaders of human development. We are groping forward in the long river of history, and it is inevitable that we will encounter bumps and stumbles. Do we not move forward because of a little difficulty? There are always more solutions than difficulties. Difficulties are only temporary and will always pass. Don't be trapped by temporary difficulties." Damn, if you don't work hard, it's a waste of my high hat for you.

Fortunately, after listening to his words, Turing's eyes gradually became firm and nodded vigorously. "I understand, Your Highness. I will not let you down."

"Yeah. By the way, how is Christopher?"

Turing's handsome face flushed slightly. "Well, he is fine. He published a chemistry paper a while ago."

Yannick nodded. "Don't worry, I remember my promise to you. When that thing succeeds, I will remove the clause that makes homosexuality illegal from the constitution. But you should also understand that it is easy to amend the constitution, but it is not easy to change people's deep-rooted ideas for thousands of years. Maybe your colleagues and friends around you are more "academic" and open enough to accept a homosexual, but you can't overestimate the whole society's acceptance of homosexuality." After all, even in the future, there are many countries where same-sex marriage is legal and there are still groups that discriminate against homosexuals.

Yannick said it very sincerely, and Turing's face showed deep gratitude. "Thank you, Your Highness."
