Bab 716: Chapter 539: Purchasing Uranium Mine

If Arthur had to choose the next most important weapons research project, he would not hesitate to choose nuclear weapons.

It's simply that nuclear weapons have a far greater deterrent effect on a country than any other conventional weapons can have on other nations.

In later societies, there is a huge difference between a nuclear-armed and non-nuclear-armed country. A nuclear power is not necessarily a superpower, but a superpower must have nuclear capability.

Historically, the United States was the first country to develop and use nuclear weapons, and remains the only country in human history to have used nuclear weapons against another nation.

The United States' nuclear weapons research program was called the Manhattan Project, and the success of this project was largely due to the uranium mines in the Congo region.

Speaking of uranium mines, they are long-discovered mineral resources, distributed among many countries.
