Into Unscientific

In the future life where Xu Yun traveled through time.

over time.

Many internal archives related to the development of the atomic bomb have been unsealed one after another, and many touching stories have been revealed to the world.

Among the more famous ones are Lao Guo's tragic sacrifice, Lu Guangda's shocking deeds of being contaminated by radiation, and the collective attitude of the entire base to overcome difficulties under the most difficult circumstances.

And in these stories.

Love, these two words also occupy a lot of space.

Some of these love stories have happy endings, such as Xia Min, the director of the 17th branch of the base, and her husband Wang Liming.

Although Wang Liming was forced to have his leg amputated due to a work accident and was in a coma for a long time, he finally survived the ordeal safely.

The couple lived in Base 221 for more than ten years, supporting each other as they passed the 100-year-old mark, and they are still alive until 2023.

Another example is Wang Ganchang and his wife Wu Yueqin. Although they separated from each other for a long time, they stayed together until they were more than ninety years old, even if they died not far apart.

But there are some loves that are not so happy.

For example, the most famous Lu Guangda and Xu Luxi were separated for twenty-eight years. Lu Guangda passed away in Xu Luxi's arms only one year after getting together.

Among the ordinary employees of the base, there is also this pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks.

That is, Rao Aiping and Chang Ning.

This young couple had little education and belonged to a typical working-class family of that era.

The two had been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and had already reached the point of getting engaged.

However, in the face of the national selection, Chang Ning came to Base 221 without hesitation and became an ordinary but extraordinary member of the base.

Of course.

If the story only ends here and ends here, then its tragic color is actually not that strong - this kind of separation of lovers is common in ancient and modern times at home and abroad.

However, it is sad.

Just after Chang Ning worked at the base for four years, Rao Aiping was also transferred to the base.

But her workplace is not in Factory Five, but in Factory Seventeen.

At the same time, due to the confidentiality rules of the base, the comrades in the branches had different commuting and living areas. Therefore, Chang Ning and Rao Aiping were separated for eight full years even though the straight-line distance was less than two kilometers apart.

During these eight years, the two did not get married. It was not until the 221 base moved to Mianyang Ninth Hospital that the two met on the way.

As a result, Chang Ning died in a boiler room collapse within a few months of the pair's reunion.

Because Rao Aiping could not bear the tragedy of Chang Ning's death, in April of the year after Chang Ning's death, she, like Huang Wei's wife Cai Ruoshu, chose to commit suicide by drowning in the river.

If this story wasn't too tragic, Xu Yun wouldn't have been deeply impressed by it.

So Xu Yun mentioned this matter to Li Jue a long time ago, so Li Jue's assistant Zhou Cai arranged Rao Aiping to the fifth factory as soon as he got the employee transfer.

In this way, the young couple can get together.

This can be regarded as the last thing Xu Yun did at the base that changed history. Although strictly speaking, this incident had little impact on the world structure or even had no impact at all, but it was just for peace of mind.

all in all.

After the doubt-clearing meeting, the entire base entered the final sprint stage.

Base 221 was like an athlete who came to the last lap of a 1,500-meter race and heard the sprint bell, and began to run with all his strength, covering his head.

Enriched uranium refining

Hydrogen sphere

ZAD connecting board

Neutron source.

As time goes by, the core components of theoretical derivation have been completed one by one, and have been successfully released and passed acceptance.

correct.

By the way.

During this period, the other side seemed to have received some news, and couldn't help but send a U2 reconnaissance plane to find out the situation.

Then

The collection of the Military Museum is happy +1.

One morning six months later.

221 base.

Detonation test site. That is, the Sixth Branch Plant.

At this moment.

Li Jue, Lu Guangda, Zhu Guangya, Peng Hengwu, Xu Yun. Twenty or thirty base leaders gathered in the open space of the Sixth Branch Factory.

even

The writer also came.

Maybe it's because the time hasn't come yet.

Everyone occasionally chatted in twos and threes, but their eyes would glance at a building in front of them from time to time.

It probably took a few minutes.

Two figures quickly walked out of the building.

One of them is only about 1.6 meters tall, has a sallow complexion, and looks to be in his early thirties or early forties.

The other man had a Mediterranean hairstyle, about fifty years old, and held a stack of reports in his hand.

The two people were clearly Wang Yuan, the deputy chief engineer of the Second Branch Plant and the leader of the explosives project, and Gao Yuanming, the person in charge of the detonation test site and the director of the Sixth Branch Plant.

After coming to a few people, Gao Yuanming opened a page of the report in his hand and said to writer Li Juehe:

"Reporting to the two heads, after three rounds of cross-checking by the execution team, the cold explosion model has been checked correctly. Please give the next instructions to the heads!"

When the writer heard this, he turned sideways and looked at Li Jue as if he was the master of his own territory.

Li Jue nodded knowingly, thought for a moment, and said to Gao Yuanming:

"Comrade Yuan Ming, have all the people around you been evacuated?"

Gao Yuanming looked serious and reported:

"Reporting to the leader, the surrounding employees and sideline team members have been evacuated, and some important experimental equipment has been successfully transferred."

"In addition, Comrade Li Siguang also personally inspected the geological structure of the test site and confirmed that all experimental conditions are in place!"

Hear this.

Xu Yun, who was sitting next to the writer, couldn't help but glance at the location of Experimental Site No. 1 in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart.

If one of the eighteen branches of the base has the most affinity with him, then the answer is obviously the detonation test site codenamed Branch Six in front of him.

It was precisely because the base was troubled by the climatic conditions of the construction of the detonation test site that it decided to use equipment to measure meteorological parameters, which gave him the opportunity to contact the base.

Later, in order to accurately capture the explosion parameters, Xu Yun came up with the idea of ​​trading linear oscillation detection components with the German company Hochtief, which indirectly promoted the transaction of electrostatic accelerators.

Then comes now.

Now that his mission has reached the final stage, he has interacted with the detonation test site again.

At the same time, after today, the research and development of nuclear weapons can basically be declared completed, and all that is left is to wait for the final nuclear explosion.

In a sense.

This can be considered a closed loop - the intersection between myself and the base begins and ends here.

As for what Xu Yun and the others are going to do today, it is

One to one atomic bomb cold blast!

Mentioned earlier.

The so-called cold explosion is a test explosion of a bomb that has the same appearance and weight as an atomic bomb but is filled with ordinary explosives without adding fission or fusion materials.

Although the power of this kind of bomb cannot be compared with that of a standard atomic bomb, it can test whether there are problems with the structure of the atomic bomb.

To explain it with examples from later generations,

Perform a power-on test without installing the system - as long as you can enter the BIOS interface, it means that there is no problem with the computer hardware.

As for the system, it is the debugging of fissile materials.

Naturally, it was over there in Lop Nur. After all, that kind of experiment was radioactive.

In the past period, Lu Guangda and Xu Yun ran to Lop Nur frequently. Xu Yun's skin color became visibly darker every time. In Africa, he could be the chief of a tribe of thousands of people.

In addition, the debugging of fissile materials is basically not difficult after the enriched uranium reaches a sufficient concentration. The core of this thing mainly lies in the extraction technology.

As for the reason why the cold explosion was chosen at the 221 Base, it was because it was underground, and as long as the concrete was thick enough, it could block the impact of gunpowder.

Secondly, it is because the first to third factories of the base are responsible for the production of atomic bomb parts. It is convenient to assemble these parts on-site for experiments without leaking secrets.

This approach is somewhat similar to the tripe or beef grocery stores that were opened near the slaughterhouse in later generations. You can go directly to the manufacturer to get the goods.

But it sounds easy to say, but the cold blast experiment is actually very complicated.

The reason is cost.

"Commanders, we have conducted hundreds of experiments in venues two to five before. The specific number is one hundred and sixty-eight."

Considering that there were some new leaders at today's hot spot, Gao Yuanming gave a simple explanation of the cost:

"The average cost of each experiment, including explosives and parts, is 1,437 yuan and 52 cents."

"As for the cost of this one-to-one cold explosion, it is relatively high. Even if there is no fissile material, the cost of the cold explosion bomb will be 114,514 yuan."

Hear this.

A trace of heaviness suddenly appeared on the faces of some leaders from the capital.

Nowadays, the average salary of employees is only 25 yuan. As the center of the country, the salary is higher, but the average salary of most employees in the capital is only about 30 to 35 yuan.

An ordinary cold blast experiment will consume more than three years of an employee's salary.

Of course.

This heaviness is only fleeting. After all, everyone knows that this is a price that must be paid.

Then the writer turned to look at Li Jue, who nodded gently again:

"Comrade Yuan Ming, since there are no problems with the cold explosion model, let's get ready to start the cold explosion experiment."

Gao Yuanming's expression suddenly condensed when he heard this:

"Understood. Chiefs, please follow me."

Then under the guidance of Gao Yuanming.

Everyone soon arrived at an open pergola.

At this moment, there is an equipment workbench that looks very ordinary in later generations:

The exterior of this workbench is coated with a green metal paint shell. Many parts of the paint shell have been imprinted with the marks of time. Dust and fine fibers are mixed together to form an indescribable gray color.

In the middle of the workbench is a shallow groove. In the groove is a screen that is not very transparent. There are some buttons and switches next to it. The old logo has become blurred.

There are four small indicator lights arranged vertically on the edge of the screen, which glow red when powered on.

"Dear heads, this is an AXT43 console that our overseas Chinese in Germany tried to transport back to China."

After entering the pergola, Gao Yuanming walked to the operating table, touched the edge of the operating table and introduced:

"Although this operating platform is a previous generation product, it is still a prohibited equipment on the Batumi list."

"Those overseas Chinese put a lot of effort into adding it to the list of discarded items. After dismantling it, it changed hands three times in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Xiangjiang before it was successfully transported back to China."

"Without this set of operating equipment, our atomic bomb would not be unable to explode, but the operating instructions would become very complicated."

Li Jue and others were silent.

In fact, this is not the first time that rabbits have done this kind of rag picking. When later generations mention these things, they usually describe the operation process in a humorous and relaxed manner, which is quite a bit of a trick. But in fact, behind these stories, it is difficult to The dangers of metaphor and the history of the rabbits' grueling industrial struggles.

Then Gao Yuanming came to the operating table and said to a man in his thirties wearing gold-rimmed glasses:

"Xiao Chen, I have already checked the equipment. Please check the radio signal and linear detection components again."

"If there is no problem, just wait for the commander's detonation order."

I don’t know whether it was because there were too many leaders or the mission was too critical. The man named Xiao Chen seemed a little nervous. He checked the data with a sullen face and then said:

"Report to the senior engineer that the radio commands are normal, the system conduction is normal, and the damage effect test equipment is normal!"

Gao Yuanming then nodded.

At this time, they were about 700 meters away from the No. 1 test site, which is the explosive center. This distance can actually be detonated by wire control.

However, the purpose of cold explosion is to simulate the actual situation to the greatest extent, so after discussion, the cold explosion steering group decided to use radio detonation to conduct the experiment.

After all, on the day the atomic bomb was tested, the center of the explosion was at least thirty kilometers away from the safe area. At this distance, only radio detonation could be used.

As for the difference between 700 meters and 30 kilometers, this is not a big problem.

After all, radio detonation has a specific wave frequency, and there is no signal interference over there in Lop Nur. If it can be successful at 700 meters, there will naturally be no big problem at 30 kilometers.

Then Gao Yuanming and others checked the situation of the cold blast site again, and after confirming that the cold blast would not have any impact on the pergola, they walked over to writer Li Juehe:

"Chief, all data, equipment, and site personnel have been re-inspected, and the experimental department has applied for an order to detonate the cold explosive bomb!"

This time Li Jue didn't speak, but turned his attention to the writer.

The writer looked around the scene and said firmly:

"In that case, Comrade Yuan Ming, let's start the cold blast experiment!"

Gao Yuanming's chest suddenly puffed up. He said yes, and then strode to the edge of the operating table:

"Xiao Chen, let's start!"

Guru

Xiao Chen swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and pressed a button in front of him.

drip, drip, drip

A sharp sound slowly sounded from the device. The speaker that had been collided during transportation and caused some sound distortion now seemed a bit harsh.

However, everyone at the scene seemed to be unconscious, staring at the ground not far away.

Seven meters below that ground is the No. 1 Experimental Site.

A few seconds passed.

boom.

A dull but obvious vibration that did not cause any harm suddenly reached everyone's feet.
