Into Unscientific

After drinking with Lu Guangda, to be precise, I untied the knot in Lu Guangda's heart.

Xu Yun quickly followed Li Jue to say goodbye and headed to the next 'meal delivery point'.

over the next few hours.

Xu Yun met Wang Ganchang, Zhao Zhongyao, Zhou Guangzhao and others successively - of course, he was also drunk.

To know.

The quality of the wine these days is very average, with a typical high-to-zero taste. After two sips, the figure in front of Xu Yun started to wander.

Finally, the dizzy Xu Yun was sent back to the hospital ward by Mou Fangdong, sleeping as peacefully as a dead donkey amidst the loud sound of firecrackers outside.

Early the next morning.

"Consultant Xu, it's time to get up!"

Hearing Qiao Caihong's familiar voice, Xu Yun subconsciously smacked his mouth twice and slowly opened his eyes.

Then he yawned, pressed his hands on the bed board and moved his body to the backrest:

"Good morning, Comrade Rainbow."

Qiao Caihong shook his head when he heard this, stared at Xu Yun seriously and corrected:

"Consultant Xu, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so you should say Happy New Year."

Xu Yun was stunned subconsciously, but soon realized something.

Yes.

Today is the first day of the new year

In this era, the first day of junior high school is a very important day.

That's not an exaggeration.

In 2023, if you say 'good morning' instead of 'happy new year' on the first day of the new year, not many people may care about the difference.

But in this day and age, if you make such a mistake, some people will really shame you.

Think of this.

Xu Yun quickly raised his hand to Qiao Caihong:

"Happy New Year, Comrade Rainbow."

Qiao Caihong then hummed, took something out of his pocket and handed it to Xu Yun:

"Here, Consultant Xu, here's a New Year's gift for you."

Xu Yun took it and found that it was a very standard Chinese knot.

but

Xu Yun flipped the Chinese knot a few times and looked at Qiao Caihong with some confusion:

"Comrade Rainbow, why is this Chinese knot gray?"

Xu Yun is no stranger to Chinese knots, but the Chinese knots in his impression are all dazzling red, but the Chinese knot Qiao Caihong gave him is gray.

Then, under Xu Yun's gaze, Qiao Caihong nodded sharply:

"Because I knitted it with the donkey hair left over from your daily drinking. I knitted it with my own hands. Doesn't it look good?"

Xu Yun:

"."

Sure enough, all the pink hairs cut open showed black faces. Xu Yun mourned for three seconds of silence in his heart for the young man named Zheng Tao.

Later, with the assistance of Qiao Caihong and Mou Fangdong.

Xu Yun got out of bed as usual and quickly left the ward - on the first day after the new year, the base was preparing to hold an executive meeting.

But what was different from usual was that on the way to the base, most of the employees Xu Yun saw had smiles on their faces.

"Consultant Xu, Happy New Year!"

"Consultant Xu, wish you good health in the New Year!"

"Consultant Xu, I wish you a prosperous new year!"

"Consultant Xu"

Xu Yun kept saying hello to the employees who came and went. After the New Year's Eve dinner, Xu Yun could clearly feel that the pressure in everyone's hearts had been relieved a lot.

To know.

The issue of psychological pressure has always been a potential hidden danger that Xu Yun is worried about. He is afraid that the bomb will suddenly explode at any time.

Fortunately, with the appearance of this New Year's Eve dinner, not only the original pressure of the base employees has been eliminated, but at least most of it has been relieved by dredging.

This is a good thing.

Then Xu Yun finally arrived at the main factory office amidst the greetings of the workers coming and going.

Compared with the New Year's Eve dinner last night, there were not many tables in the open space around the factory office, and the stoves and other items had been cleared away, but the sound of firecrackers could still be heard everywhere - but there was one in the base. As for the second branch factory that produces atomic bomb detonators, it’s hard to say anything else. It really handles the New Year’s firecrackers.

It is said that a comrade was drunk yesterday and almost blew up a land mine as a firecracker.

In order to facilitate the injured Xu Yun, today's meeting was still held on the first floor of the main factory, in the same conference room where Lou Zhicen Tu Luming and others reported.

As soon as Xu Yung entered the conference room, a strong smell of dry smoke immediately hit the floor.

"Ouch!"

Xu Yun waved his hand vigorously, and after dispersing the smoke in front of him, he could barely see the situation inside:

At this time, only about half of the people were scattered on the dozens of seats, but at least 80% of them had a cigarette in their mouths, and the room was filled with smoke like the Lingxiao Palace.

No way, who made today the first day of the Lunar New Year?

Then Xu Yun found the table sign with his name in the smoke and wheeled his wheelchair into his seat.

Sitting next to him today were still Lu Guangda and Lao Guo. Those who needed to talk had already finished talking at the dinner table yesterday, so after seeing Xu Yun, Lu Guangda just patted Xu Yun on the shoulder as a greeting.

About ten minutes passed.

Li Jue walked in from outside the house wearing a Chinese tunic suit, holding a stack of documents in his hand.

"Huh?"

Xu Yun looked at Li Jue subconsciously, and curiously bumped Lao Guo with his elbow:

"Gong Guo, did the factory director change his glasses?"

Xu Yun remembered that Li Jue was wearing a pair of brown thick-framed glasses before, but today Li Jue wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked much more elegant.

"yes."

Facing Xu Yun's question, Lao Guo quickly nodded:

"The director of the factory asked someone to help with the glasses at the Mao Yuanchang Optical Factory in Shanghai a few years ago. This kind of gold-rimmed glasses requires special supplies. The director spent almost half of last year's salary on it. .”

"hiss"

Xu Yun bared his teeth when he heard this:

"Good guy, for half a year's salary, I remember that the factory director's original pair of glasses are not broken."

Lao Guo glanced at Li Jue on the stage and smiled:

"Of course it is to better serve as a 'technical leader'. After all, we, Mr. Li, are also people who have published papers in top international journals."

"I heard that when we reported on the base situation a year ago, a certain comrade in the capital highly praised the factory director's contribution to research and production."

"It is said that as soon as he was praised, the factory director went to his old comrades to show off."

Xu Yun:

"."

Okay, director, as long as you are happy.

But there is one thing to say.

If we just talk about the level of journals in which papers are published, there are really not many people in China who can compete with Li Jue - "Physical Review Letters" will be the top international journal in the future.

While Lao Guo and Xu Yun were talking in a low voice.

Li Jue on the stage also coughed slightly and said:

"Okay, comrades, please be quiet for a moment. We are ready to have a meeting."

Hear this.

Many participants quickly put their cigarette butts into the ashtray, opened their notepads, sat up straight and looked at Li Jue.

Then Li Jue looked around the scene for a week, his eyes softened a lot when they glanced at Xu Yun, and he continued:

"Comrades, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Let me first say something to you as the general manager of the 221 Base."

"Happy New Year, comrades!"

Bang bang bang——

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

According to Chinese customs, the first day of the Lunar New Year has always been a relatively relaxing day.

On this day, people can go out to visit their elders and friends to pay New Year greetings, or they can hold their mothers-in-law or husbands in their arms to communicate with each other at home.

You can also hit your children to relax, or exchange hands with your neighbors to say Happy New Year.

However, in order to complete a certain mission, the more than 10,000 people from the base came to the Northwest to hide their names and cut off almost all interpersonal contacts.

Many of them only know that they have a country but not a home.

But to their relief.

In this grassland almost forgotten by the world, they are not alone in their struggle.

At least

At the beginning of the new year, there is still someone who can say Happy New Year to them.

Then Li Jue paused and continued after the applause stopped:

"Of course, we have a heavy burden, so after saying Happy New Year, the concept of New Year has nothing to do with us."

"Next, we still have to focus our energy back on the original project and start the final sprint!"

Li Jue just finished speaking.

Swish——

The atmosphere of the entire scene suddenly became a little subtle.

Subtlety here is not a derogatory term, but an indescribable excitement and amplitude, as if a crossbow has been drawn to perfection and is ready to be fired.

As for the core reason for this atmosphere, it is naturally what Li Jue calls [mission sprint].

Before today's or yesterday's New Year's Eve dinner, although the base still maintained the trend of promoting projects, it did not start the holiday until New Year's Eve.

But it is undeniable.

At that stage, people in the base were a little restless. Sometimes the efficiency was high, but sometimes the efficiency was low.

Therefore, the leadership of the base did not make any specific plans before the holiday, which was equivalent to running slowly without any effort.

Now that the Spring Festival has passed, restless people have gradually subsided, and the entire 221 base can start sprinting with all its strength.

This is like a later Internet writer who knows that he has to pick up his children in an hour. Then he will inevitably pay attention to the time when coding, which will lead to distraction.

When he picks up the child and has nothing to do, he can devote all his energy to coding.

What?

You ask why some authors who have no wife or children still code slowly?

Ahem

His gaze returned to its original position.

After saying something, Li Jue opened the documents he brought and said:

"Comrades, in order to enable the 221 base to carry out the final stage of research and development to the maximum extent, according to the instructions of the capital, we will reorganize and rebuild some departments of the base!"

"What?"

As soon as Li Jue finished speaking, a burst of discussion suddenly broke out from the audience:

"Director? What do you mean by reorganization?"

"Reorganization and reconstruction? Lao Wang, you are well-informed. Have you heard of this before?"

"I can't come."

The scene became chaotic within seconds, but most of the attendees looked confused but not worried.

After all, everyone knows the decision-making ability of the organization. It is impossible to suddenly cut off some really critical tasks or transfer them to others. The reorganization and reconstruction here are mostly targeted at a specific group.

Some experts with more flexible thinking were already showing some thoughts at this time, and they vaguely guessed something.

Then under the gaze of everyone, Li Jue quickly continued to speak:

"Comrades, in October last year, we officially completed the design work related to the atomic bomb."

"At that time, we also transitioned the overall focus of the base from theoretical derivation to the application stage of weapons research and development."

"We have established multiple production project groups, such as neutron ignition sources, fuel layer ball fragments, etc., and each group also has a corresponding person in charge."

When Li Jue was speaking, many experts in the audience nodded subconsciously.

What Li Jue said is one of the most important milestones since the establishment of Base 221.

At that time, Lu Guangda and others completed the theoretical design of the atomic bomb, and Xu Yun came up with the Yu Min configuration with the pendant. Therefore, the organization decided to shift the base from theory to research and development.

For this purpose, the organization has also established multiple core project teams, and found corresponding bosses to lead the team for research and development.

Among them, there are seven in terms of atomic bombs:

The person in charge of the beryllium/polonium neutron source, also known as the ignition neutron source, is Wang Fangding.

The honeycomb cardboard spacer, also known as the air barrier, provides space for the critical collapse of the compressed uranium fuel after detonation. The person in charge, whose pseudonym is Wu Ke, is Wu Xuelin.

The person in charge of U235 fuel layer ball fragments is Wang Chengshu, a well-known female academician in the future.

Polonium protective layer, person in charge Feng Ji.

The person in charge of the explosive detonation drive mechanism, also known as the plane wave generator, was Qian Wushi (now Lu Guangda).

Finally, there is the free neutron generation layer and the neutron reflection layer, headed by Wu Ziliang.

There are two things that can be made public about hydrogen bombs:

Structure of soft X-ray compression secondary, person in charge Wang Daheng.

Preparation of hydrogen spheres, person in charge Leian.

The rest is all beep beep beep——

After reporting the corresponding projects and personnel, Li Jue said:

"Although the organization established an application research and development group at that time, there was no final decision on the placement of the original theoretical group members."

"Some members of the theory group continue to study related derivative theories, and some go to the application group to do collaborative work."

"Others were mobilized to the neutron bomb theory team to help, and some were like Consultant Xu running around on several projects."

"The reason for this situation is that we had just launched the research and development project at that time, and we were somewhat unsure whether the entire project could proceed smoothly."

"But now our application research and development is on the right track, so in other words."

“It’s time to give those comrades in the original theory group a concrete and stable title.”

Say it.

Li Jue looked around the scene, and finally focused on Xu Yun:

"According to Consultant Xu Yun's suggestion, after today's meeting, our base will usher in the most powerful complete state since its completion. Therefore, the organization adopted Consultant Xu Yun's suggestion and finally named this reorganization and reconstruction project."

"221 Base Completion Plan."
