雙語暢銷書《艾倫圖靈傳》第6章:連接兩個世界(19)
In November 1942 the ground had been cleared at Los Alamos, and by March 1943 the first scientists were already moving in.
The atomic bomb they planned to make would not release greater energy than the raids of 1943 already deployed against Germany.
不過，原子彈並不比1943年的雷達技術更有用，But it would make thousands of bombers redundant, thus mechanising the discipline and coordination of air offensives.
這項技術實現了防空自動化，使成千上萬的轟炸機變成了多餘。
The Manhattan Project would still depend upon an aircraft pilot—but then he, too, was being automated at Peenemünde, where the long predicted 'monster cannons' were on the way.
曼哈頓計劃也需要一個飛行員，屆時他會自動地飛往佩內明德港，那裏正在製造惡魔武器，也就是V型武器。The V-weapons would lack sufficient accuracy—but such problems of guidance were also being attacked at Germany's back by the new techniques of proximity fuses, automatic celestial navigation, and automatic fire control.
V型武器原本缺乏精確性，但德國人通過新型的感應引信、自主導航和自動開火技術，解決了這個問題。People easily understood powerful guns, fast ships, impenetrable tanks, which extended human limbs.
人們很容易理解，強力的槍炮、迅猛的艦船、不可抵擋的坦克，這些延伸了人類的四肢。By now the secret of radar was out, and it could be understood how its manifold applications extended human eyesight to the longer wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.
現在雷達的面紗也已揭開，它延伸了人類視力的波長範圍。But rapidly developing, and not only at Bletchley and Washington, was a new kind of machinery, a new kind of science, in which it was not the physics and chemistry that mattered, but the logical structure of information, communication, and control.
還有一項科技革命正在布萊切利和華盛頓展開，這就是機器科學，它不僅關於物理和化學，還關於信息、通信和控制的邏輯。
