Chapter 241 China’s nuclear test(1/2)
,
spn here is a little better than I thought, but it is still too hard."
Zhang Shusheng stood at the entrance of the entire base group and could see that there were many stone houses on the outermost circle. It was not that the base did not have steel and aluminum alloy to build better buildings. However, such large-scale buildings must be heat-proof. In comparison, stone houses and reinforced concrete houses are more suitable for living. However, because the base project is too large, some of the outermost guards can only temporarily live in the stone house.
The important buildings in the base are still guaranteed first. It seems that the largest main laboratory is built with high specifications. In order to enable expensive instruments to operate normally for a long time in high temperature environments, huge funds have been spent.
"Chairman" Everyone's life is still guaranteed. "The remaining stone houses will be transformed into steel-concrete structures within half a year." Major General Pao Boshan, the commander of the base No. 12, was an official from a base in the southwest in his early years. Now he has been promoted to the rank of major general and transferred to the commander of the base No. 12." Our plan is to strive to put air conditioners on all main buildings within five years.
Air conditioners are not rare. China currently has several brands of air conditioners. Although energy consumption is a problem, they still sell well. They are sold together with Haihong TVs and Haier washing machines, such as domestic home appliance aces, are sold to Europe and the United States. Even if the war comes, it will not affect their sales.
"Let's go and go to the main experimental banquet to have a look."
Although this is not a scientific research base for the Sun Project, it is a nuclear test base, and it is also very important to whether the test site two hundred kilometers away can work normally.
Unlike Xiong Heming, Einstein, Oppenheimer, who just arrived at the 12th base, there are also permanent scientists here. They have been working on science and technology at the base for a long time to ensure that the experiment can be carried out smoothly.
Now, the Sun Project has entered its final experimental stage, and it is even busier here. There are more than 2,000 scientific workers from the laboratory group, including Base No. 12 and Nuclear Weapon Research Center, making final preparations for the nuclear test two days later.
"How did Professor Xiong do all the preparations?", standing in the side room of the base main laboratory, you can see through the glass that there are several computers made by China in Hall No. B in the main laboratory. Next to it, there are many staff members. With the help of it, it uses it to perform some data analysis.
Xiong Heming is the general manager of the Sun Project. Although the daily nuclear weapons research is carried out in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, on the eve of the experiment, all the work is left with the slogan base.
"Because our plan started very early, all scientific research work had actually been basically completed in the research center three years ago. Then, "we mainly devoted our energy to the nuclear test preparation stage and the sodium concentration stage. Currently, the production of several sodium refining and concentration plants has been on track. The scientific research preparation of the base No. 12 has also entered the final sprint stage for two days of experiments, no problem." The reason why Xiong Heming is so confident is because China's Sun Plan has begun for 15 years. In these fifteen years, "for absolute confidentiality," China has never conducted even a verified nuclear test." Instead, it was the research direction given by the Supreme Science and Technology Commission, and it has been continuously overcome difficulties. It was not until the Sun Plan received the approval of Zhang Shusheng that the nuclear explosion experiment was carried out.
Zhang Shusheng nodded. China's nuclear weapons research team is very strong. In addition to attracting scientists from all over the world through various means, the nuclear weapons scientists of his own nation have also grown completely in the past fifteen years, and a large number of nuclear technology experts, including Qian Sanqiang, emerged.
During the same period, the German nuclear test was launched in 1937. The American nuclear engineering had not even been built yet. As long as the news of the Chinese nuclear test was not revealed, they would still launch the Manhattan project under the threat of the German nuclear threat around 1942.
However, Zhang Shusheng also knew how great the energy of Americans was. He could invest billions of dollars to attract tens of thousands of outstanding scientists from all over the world to participate in the Manhattan project. Even if he had seized many high-end nuclear physics experts with his foresight, they would still set up a team of Americans. "There is never a shortage of talents and their talent treasure houses in the world. It was just because of China's rapid rise, its previous super-high treatment, the attraction of cutting-edge technology to outstanding scientists around the world, or some shameful means, which made China have the attitude of an American, and has accumulated talents since the Southwest period, and has many foreign scientists.
However, Zhang Shusheng also knew that the reason why the Americans' Manhattan project was huge was that they couldn't understand the direction and even did not know which of the three methods to split sodium 235 was the best. They had to use three methods to do fission work at the same time, which was extremely energy-consuming and time-consuming.
For Zhang Shusheng, not only can he have relevant information on nuclear weapons research, but he can also avoid going many wrong paths. The reason why the entire Sun plan has been lost for 15 years is because he hopes to train a large number of high-end scientists for China through this plan. The entire Sun plan involves nuclear physics, physics, materials science, aerospace, automatic engineering, computer science, etc., which is really too huge.
In the past fifteen years, the Sun Plan, which was divided into several parts, has left valuable wealth all over the country. For example, the core nuclear physics research centers in Sichuan and Yunnan, the high-energy physics research centers in Yibin, the high-energy materials research centers in Guangxi, and several sodium concentration factories and refining bases, are all huge wealth in the future. In the face of more important, tens of thousands of people who participated in this huge Sun Plan may realize in the years to come that they are working for atoms and even hydrogen projects, but they can play a huge role in more industries as they grow up.
It can be said that Zhang Shusheng is following the American path, and scientific research drives the overall development of science and technology and cultivates more scientists.
Think about it, China's nuclear weapons research is not only at the forefront of the world, but also has much better conditions than the United States' Manhattan Project and later when the Republic used hand-cranked computer-assisted research. This is also the most important reason why the Sun Project can achieve results and successfully achieve Zhang Shusheng's expected goals.
Only with input can there be output. The waiting for fifteen years from time to time is not long.
"At present, the output of several of our sodium refining and concentration factories is gradually increasing. As long as this nuclear test goes well, we will be able to stockpile five well-made nuclear products at this time next year.
These second batch of formally produced atoms will be more powerful than the 30,000 tons TNT equivalent. "Di Jun, which is a little larger than the 50,000 tons equivalent. However, according to the entire solar plan, the production of atoms will continue to increase, and the hydrogen experiment conducted earlier next year will determine whether to start manufacturing hydrogen with more astonishing equivalents next year."
There were no outsiders in the observation room, so Xiong Heming briefly reported the plan to Zhang Shusheng. Although Zhang Shusheng could pay attention to these situations in time, every time he heard them, he still had limited imagination.[
"It's really exciting to see the day when China's nuclear arsenal is established."
After more than a year to next year, in 1940, World War II will kick off the real prelude. "German invades France, and the war between giants will officially break out.
At that time, after a year of slept with firewood and tasted gall, China would have five atoms.
As for the issue of equivalent, although nuclear weapons in later generations are often equivalent to millions of tons, the scale of cities today is not as fast as that in later generations, and the demand for particularly large-scale nuclear weapons is not so urgent.
The most critical reason is that the problem of nuclear miniaturization has not been solved. It is already a problem to rely on bombers to deploy nuclear a nuclear power of tens of thousands of tons. If a nuclear power of tens of thousands of tons or even hundreds of thousands of tons or million tons is made, what should I put it?
Of course, it is also possible to put it on the ground and wait for the enemy to rush over before letting it explode on its own—
"We must seize the problem of nuclear miniaturization. The balance between equivalent and weight issues is the work you should focus on in addition to the hydrogen project, nuclear and rocket projects," Zhang Shusheng emphasized.
"The Chairman is confident that these are all in the Sun's plan, and the schedule" is very fast. The hydrogen project is officially tested next year, and the technology of nuclear rockets will have to wait to enter the laboratory to come up with the problem of rocket miniaturization and equivalent balance that meets high requirements. There will be a big breakthrough at the end of next year. Of course, if more talents join the Sun's plan, the project will be smoother."
Xiong Heming is very familiar with the Sun Plan. The Sun Plan of China's nuclear weapons engineering is also a biological child who has devoted all his efforts. He is not only the project leader, but also the chief engineer and chief scientist.
"Next month, a group of very outstanding physics students and scientists from all over the world will join the project." Zhang Shusheng promised, "After the huge solar project has been subdivided, those foreign scientists who have not yet fully returned to their hearts will not be able to guess that they have worked for China's atomic project because the solar project involves too wide a wide range of projects.
Of course, with Zhang Shusheng's "nature" character, since he has come, he has good food, drink, entertainment and benefits, but it is not possible to leave.
"This time, the "Di Jun, No. 1 test" is mainly about atomic explosions. Bomber airdrop tests will be conducted in five months." Xiong Heming is not only a scientist, but also a fanatical nationalist. He is more looking forward to nuclear tests in two days. "I really look forward to it. In two days, we Chinese will burst out unprecedented power. With nuclear weapons, the living space of the Chinese nation will also be greatly improved, thus becoming a world-class giant."
Two days later, Zhang Shu got up early one morning. He rarely lived outside in the past few years. "But this time, he stayed at the base for two days, solved several scientific problems for the base, and participated in two base meetings. Due to his extremely high scientific literacy and some experience in later generations, he asked many final questions about the experiment.
Early in the morning, the weather was clear, but it was not too hot, and the sun was not that poisonous.
The scientific researchers at the base and some of the special invitations of the guards and representatives of the base staff were all gathered in the base auditorium. Zhang Shusheng did not sit on the rostrum, but sat with the base staff. The entire auditorium was filled with the base staff. The entire No. 12 base "there were thousands of people who could come to watch the grand event. Of course, most of them were scientific researchers.
On the higher podium of the auditorium, there is a military-regulated inch display made by Haihong TV Factory. Through a communication line, the display screen clearly shows the appearance of a small town.
The experimental town is in the monitor.
"It's actually the experimental town we built." Yao Zili and Wen Chang'an had just withdrawn from the experimental town. The entire battalion was arranged to rest without having to work. The two of them were invited by the base together with dozens of other people from the guards. They happened to sit in the audience.
Like all the base staff, the two looked at the back of the figure more than 20 meters away, which was that the chairman had never thought that one day he would be so close to the chairman.
Even until now, among the base personnel present, except for the core base researchers, most people do not know the real inside story of the base, nor do they know what to see in the monitor next. Although they are the scientific researchers and defenders and builders of the base, the confidentiality regulations are so cold and cold. Although the 21-inch monitor is not large, at least not as large as the 40-inch "liquid" TV in Zhang Shu's family during his lifetime, it has become a leading technology in this era. On weekdays, He Ning likes to pull Dan Tai little girl and eat the picture in the monitor in front of the 21-inch TV. It is a small town shot at a declining angle. The scientific research camera records everything in the town at a height of about 30 meters.
In the monitor, the town exudes a strange tranquility. "A town with empty real people" but there are fake people on the street, some on bicycles, some on cars, and some on newspapers on the street, while walking and looking. In the building's doors, you can still vaguely see the people standing in front of you.
A small town that seems quiet, but it seems less peaceful at this time.[
"Chairman, according to the plan, the test will start at 7:00 in Hanjing time! There are still fifteen minutes before the test begins." Xiong Heming whispered to Zhang Shusheng next to him, "Well, you can announce it briefly to everyone." Zhang Shusheng nodded and said, "Those who can enter the No. 12 base have passed the safety test 100%. Today, when nuclear tests are conducted, there is no need to keep them too confidential, and there is no possibility of confidentiality. Therefore, on the premise of considering security and confidentiality, a few guards, builders, and most scientific researchers were invited to watch the live test.
Xiong Heming nodded, then stood up and walked to the podium, said to the microphone, to the thousands of base personnel below, "Comrades, in the past five years, you have made great contributions to the completion of the slogan base. As an SS-level confidentiality base, you are all the most loyal members of the Republic.
According to the instructions of the Chairman, today "you will have the honor to watch a test of a new weapon in the Republic here.
Over the past five years, your base commander has always come to me to complain. Everyone has endured a lot of hardships, everyone has been very tired, and their scientific research conditions are so poor. Today, the scene you have seen will be the reward for your hard work over the years, which will become a witness of history. And you will observe this grand event as representatives of the Republic.
This will be an era and prosperity for the Chinese nation. Many years later, looking back on this day, you will find that history began to change from this day.
As for the confidentiality regulations, I won’t say much about the regulations. The regulations of the SS base are both externally and internally. Everyone can know some secrets, but it does not mean that they can be spread out. The Chairman specially ordered everyone to watch the live broadcast test. This is a supreme honor. I hope everyone should put the Republic first, live up to the Chairman, and truly abide by various security and confidentiality regulations.
Now I announce that a new weapon test will officially begin in thirteen minutes!! "Maybe these viewers will only know many years later that they can witness the nuclear explosion test of China's first atom, Di Jun, with their own eyes.
While Zhang Shusheng and others were waiting for the experiment to come in the base auditorium, a dramatic scene occurred in another place.
Five hours ago, around 2 a.m., it was more than 40 kilometers away from the experimental town.
"Come on!"
With a light sound, a light sound came from a sand dune. Then a figure carefully crawled out under the moonlight.
"Jason, you coward can come out. There is not even a mouse outside. It's really strange that those damn Chinese people don't go to war and come to guard the desert for whatever." The figure looked around carefully and shouted into the cave of the dune behind him.
"Puff n puff, damn Roger" You are just responsible for exploring the way, why call me a coward?"
Another man crawled out of the cave, and the two looked at the quiet night sky around them and the location of the Chinese post behind them.
The two were explorers who entered China from India, and one of them was an archaeologist. After entering China, they had been honestly exploring the Silk Road culture and were trying to move closer to Loulan.
And when they arrived near Loulan, they finally tore off their disguised mask.
Rather than saying they are archaeologists, they are tomb robbers.
They have been coveting the ancient culture of China for a long time, especially in the northwest of China. This place where people pay very little attention to but are full of cultural relics is very interesting. Therefore, they chose to register from India to enter China and then use the disguise they are good at disguising themselves as archaeologists.
The Chinese government is quite welcome to archaeologists, but these Westerners are "sceptical". After they come to China, they have security personnel to accompany them all the way" until they finally seized an opportunity and used their familiar methods to escape.
Of course, "the two were quickly put on the wanted list, and the police and security departments wanted them throughout Xinjiang. Unexpectedly, the two did not flee to any densely populated places at all." Instead, they went deeper in the direction of Loulan.
However, they did not expect that in the direction they were moving forward, they were actually martial lawfully established by the "Central"*** person position.
This is a big problem, because the two people riding in the desert, absolutely can't run through the car. The Chinese blockade of the desert by guard posts, and there are fixed desert patrol cars every half an hour. Just relying on two feet, even if they rely on garage, it is absolutely impossible to break through this seemingly sparse blockade line.
So "through their solid experience of tomb robbing and adventure, the two successfully found a desert "hole" through this "hole", and "the two dug it again" and successfully passed the blockade line.
"I hope I won't encounter the Chinese patrol team." There is no need to worry at night. The two of them are worried about whether they will encounter the Chinese patrol team in the desert after dawn." After all, the Chinese desert cars are very suitable for driving in the desert, much faster than people. Even after passing through this sentry, the two can only pass through the blockade of the entire area by luck.
However, luck seemed to be a bit unusual, and they were safe and ill until dawn.
"Rogel, if I can get rich this time, I don't mind giving you ten Scottish beauties, you damn 'sexy' wolf, haha."
"Jason, I might be able to buy you a manor." Damn, "The Tomb Raider has never been involved in Loulan in China, and I don't know if there will be any special discoveries."
The two tomb robbers are very professional and are also full of expectations for the next gain. They found a way to go to Loulan according to the book about Loulan written by the British who discovered Loulan back then.
"It's really strange. It's dawn, and no Chinese people are found."
While walking in the desert, the two were talking in a low voice with gauze covering their mouths. It was dawn and there was no Chinese shadow. There was a post that I had just discussed, and there was no one.
However, soon, the two began to become careful.
"There is a small town in front of you? Damn, the town in the desert." Just over a kilometer away, Jason discovered the town in the desert through the telescope in his hand." A faintly audible radio sound was coming from the town.
“It’s a song.”
The two of them learned Chinese through a surprise study, which was not good, but they could also be vaguely heard that the radio of the town opposite was a Chinese song, and the lyrics were all about, morning light, good morning, and it should be a popular folk song.
"Rogel" Look, this town is very strange.
", although Jason couldn't see clearly the situation in the town, his intuition as a tomb robber told him that the town was a bit extraordinary.
"You coward, is there anything more terrifying than the tomb "? This is not Egypt, there is no pyramid on the ground." Roger took the telescope indifferently, and looked at it, then said, "It should be a small town or base for the Chinese people, but it is empty. Did they give up the base? Oh, there are actually sheep."
From their place, I can't see too many abnormalities in the town, and they don't see the people walking around, but Roger found a few sheep.
"Let's go and take a look. If it's the base they gave up, or for other reasons, we can..., hehe." Jason said with great momentum. "In fact, this town just plummeted on their must-pass road." There are more desolate deserts on both sides, and this area is a shallow Gobi, so it's better to walk around. Gobi, and you can take a look. Of course, it's better to rob and find a stamina or horse. Because they have to cross the Chinese alert line, they didn't bring it to stamina.
When the two walked into the town, they finally felt the increasingly intense and strange atmosphere.
"Damn, Roger, look" what do they do with so many dummies?"
To be continued...
