Chapter 27: Mushroom Cloud Project (2)
When Zhao Zhongyao said that he would change the atomic bomb program mentioned by Mr. President to the mushroom cloud plan, everyone was stunned and did not understand why he could say this, is it obviously to make an atomic bomb, why can't it be called an atomic bomb program.
"Zhongyao, why did you change the atomic bomb program I said to the mushroom cloud project!" Wang Pingtao looked at Zhao Zhongyao with some puzzlement.
"President, that's the case, the reason why I want to change the atomic bomb program to the mushroom cloud program is from the perspective of classified security, what we are going to study now is a super secret weapon, how can it be directly seen from the name of this program!"
Zhao Zhongyao said this, not because he was already a soldier and he had confidential literacy. Rather, it was because he was a reborn man, and he already knew that the atomic bomb research programs of all countries were not directly named after the atomic bomb.
"That's great, Zhongyao! You're really thoughtful! I really haven't thought about it so much! Yes! How can we just name it after the atomic bomb program? Doesn't this mean that we need to study the atomic bomb?"
Wang Pingtao listened to Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, and he suddenly realized.
"Yes! President, what Comrade Zhao Zhongyao said is so right, how can we use the name of the atomic bomb program! Should we use a separate name!" Chi Shanfang, as a minister of national defense and a veteran soldier, naturally agreed very much with Zhao Zhongyao's statement.
"Hey, Xiao Zhao! Why did you name my atomic bomb program after the mushroom cloud project? What does mushroom have to do with the atomic bomb? Could it be that the atomic bomb you envisioned is in the shape of a mushroom? Wang Pingtao said his thoughts.
"No, Mr. President, it's not that the atomic bomb looks like a mushroom, but that the shape of the atomic bomb should look like a mushroom!"
Zhao Zhongyao has long known the shape of the atomic bomb after the explosion, it is the appearance of a mushroom, on the earth before his death, let alone a scientist, even ordinary people know about it.
"Oh, you can already guess the shape of the atomic bomb after it explodes, it's amazing! It seems that you will definitely be able to make the atomic bomb!" The president listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he was even more convinced that Zhao Zhongyao would be able to make the atomic bomb.
"President, this is just my speculation, what the truth is, I will not know until the day of the atomic bomb explosion!" Of course, Zhao Zhongyao can't say that he has seen the atomic bomb explode, he just said that he guessed it.
"Okay, as you said, let's name our atomic bomb research program this time after the Mushroom Cloud Project. Wang Pingtao looked at Zhao Zhongyao happily.
Since you are the chief engineer of the Mushroom Cloud Project this time, can you tell us about your plan? What are you going to do? Now everyone in this conference room can be dispatched by you!"
Wang Pingtao was a crisp and neat person, and he wanted to know what Zhao Zhongyao's mushroom cloud plan would look like now.
"President, to make a plan, it is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, after a while, when I return to the Military Industrial University, I will definitely write a plan in detail, and then show it to you.
However, I will only say a few words about my initial intentions. I think that the first step in the study of the atomic bomb is to find uranium ore in our country. ”
"Uranium ore!"
Not only the president, but also the Minister of National Defense, as well as Zuo Junqiang Li Longyun, they were all surprised, and they did not know what the relationship between the uranium ore and the atomic bomb that Zhao Zhongyao said.
"Well, according to my theoretical analysis, in order to make an atomic bomb, it is necessary to use radioactive elements. Earlier, I have said that the temperature produced by the combustion of all matter on Earth cannot destroy the nucleus.
In order to make an atomic bomb, it is necessary to use radioactive elements. But it doesn't mean that you can make an atomic bomb by just looking for a radioactive element. There are many radioactive elements on Earth, but not many can make atomic bombs.
This is because the only material that can be lightly subjected to nuclear fission is uranium, and no other radioactive element can be used. And I speculate that even if it is uranium, it is not something that can be exploded casually, and only uranium-235, an isotope of uranium, can nuclear fission occur.
If we want to make an atomic bomb, we must first find uranium ore, then refine and process the ore, and finally separate uranium-235 from its isotope, and then enrich uranium-235 in one step, so that we can obtain pure uranium, and only when we get more than 90% pure uranium can we make an atomic bomb. ”
Zhao Zhongyao said a lot in one breath, because this knowledge was very familiar to him on the earth during his lifetime. Speaking of these people now, there is naturally some gushing feeling.
When President Wang Pingtao and some other commanders of the military region listened to Zhao Zhongyao's account, their eyes widened, and they all had a question in their hearts: "Listening to this kid's speech, how do you feel as if he has experienced these things, and how can he know so much about the atomic bomb, a weapon that has not yet been born?"
"Zhongyao! What you said is really good, but we don't understand, how can you know so much about the atomic bomb! Have you already made an atomic bomb?" Wang Pingtao looked at Zhao Zhongyao with surprised eyes.
Zhao Zhongyao listened to the president's words, and he felt that what he had just said was too detailed. In this way, how can you not let others suspect that he has already worked on the atomic bomb!
"Yes--- I can't hide it, my research on the atomic bomb has reached the point of obsession. Sometimes, I would work on the atomic bomb in my sleep. And in my sleep, I already saw the scene of the atomic bombing.
The reason why I have spoken in such detail is that I have seen it in my dreams! This is really strange to say! I can't even tell myself!"
Zhao Zhongyao can't tell anyone else, he is a reborn person, so he can only panic the president, saying that he saw the atomic bomb in his sleep!
"Haha, it seems that you really think about it day and dream about it at night! You are so obsessed with the atomic bomb, then you must be able to make your dream come true!"
Wang Pingtao listened to Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, and his heart blossomed, feeling that this qiē was predestined in the dark, and their country would definitely be able to create an atomic bomb first. It will definitely make other countries look up to their country.
