Chapter 243 Chapter 243: Dangerous Weapons
Flipping through the language book, Wu Zhen turned to a new text.
The text is about our "father of the two bombs" - Deng Jiaxian.
And the author is another great scientist - Yang Zhenning.
Naturally, looking at such an article, Wu Zhenzhen couldn't help but burst into tears.
After all, it was the successful launch of atomic and hydrogen bombs that made the security of the country truly guaranteed.
However, many of the scientists who have dedicated their lives to this cause have almost all been unknown during their lifetimes.
However, after reading the text, I aroused some desire to learn, but found that I could not find the answer.
So, Wu Zhenzhen turned back to the living room and asked about his grandparents.
It was only after such an exchange that I realized how difficult it was to succeed in the atomic bomb and the success of the hydrogen bomb.
Since physics and chemistry have not yet been classed, it is difficult for Wu Zhen to understand atoms and molecules.
However, under his grandfather's explanation, Wu Zhen understood that this was a rather difficult and costly project.
After all, both fusion and nuclear fission control require very precise control, which also means that the person conducting the research must have a very solid theoretical foundation in mathematics and physics.
On the other hand, it also requires a lot of financial support, and the Manhattan Project (a U.S. program to research nuclear weapons) used to transport silver directly from the national treasury for the manufacture of sophisticated equipment.
Naturally, hearing this, Wu Zhen understood that this was a rather difficult project.
In the end, Grandpa added: "At that time, the Soviet Union withdrew all technical support, so a lot of things had to be done from scratch. ”
At this time, Wu Zhenzhen basically understood how much effort Deng Jiaxian and others had to make to create nuclear weapons at that time.
Naturally, if you do a good job of preparation, it will be easier to keep up with the rhythm in Chinese class.
Mr. Li also seemed to be very solemn on this day, and he was dressed very well.
Before this, there didn't seem to be such a serious class, and even on the day of the lecture "The Last Lesson", Mr. Li never showed such a serious expression.
Then, the class begins.
Deng Jiaxian is a student trained by Southwest Associated University, who resolutely gave up his lucrative work abroad and made far-reaching contributions to China's atomic energy work.
However, the active command of the long-term initiative to go to the front line still caused serious wear and tear on the body.
However, the invisible Great Wall built in the Gobi for 30 years can be regarded as a real no longer under such direct threat.
After all, to fall behind is to be beaten, and without an atomic bomb is even more deadly.
After the withdrawal of specialists from the Soviet Union, the whole project could not be carried out at all, and many things had to be done from scratch.
However, it was in this desperate situation that Deng Jiaxian's work successfully broke through one technical barrier after another, and produced China's first atomic bomb at an unimaginable speed.
As the mushroom cloud rises and gradually dissipates, finally, we are no longer directly threatened by the north and the other side of the planet.
However, this is just the beginning, and intense research continues.
Because other countries have already mastered a more advanced and more terrifying hydrogen bomb.
So, non-stop, started a new round of work.
It was a miracle work that made history, and just over two years later, the hydrogen bomb was successfully developed.
Looking at the huge mushroom cloud in the sky, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief that the Chinese nation's national defense and self-defense weapons have finally reached the world's advanced level. As a result, people from the north and on the other side of the earth can no longer show off.
With the accomplishment of this feat, the newspapers in the West also seemed to converge, and the atmosphere eased both in the north and on the other side of the globe.
Teacher Li said forcefully: "Although, atomic weapons are a double-edged sword, and their terrifying power makes people fearful. But without this weapon, we can't really hold fate by the throat. ”
The next paragraph, of course, contrasts Deng Jiaxian's success with Oppenheimer's. However, this passage is really not that easy to understand.
After all, most of Oppenheimer's life is not very clear to children, although it can probably be seen from the text that Oppenheimer was a very flamboyant person.
Naturally, in the end, it is necessary to talk about the spirit of Deng Jiaxian.
Half of the class time has passed, and everyone has gradually entered the state under the leadership of Mr. Li.
Mr. Li summarized the previous content a little and began to explain the last two paragraphs.
You know, in such a deserted place as the Gobi, how difficult it is to carry out such a plan that no one knows about.
With almost no upfront technical support, uranium-235 was refined from scratch to a level of purity, which was a very difficult task.
However, such an arduous and heavy task has been carried out steadily by Deng Jiaxian.
You know, at that time, there were a lot of problems faced, and the slightest carelessness would lead to wasted efforts.
Finally, after a lot of hard work, the mission was accomplished, and the shield of the republic guarded the entire country.
However, the long-term overload of labor caused the scientist to suffer from cancer and reach the point of death.
Of course, blood will not be shed in vain, and it is the awakening of a large number of national heroic souls since Lin Zexu that has successfully awakened people.
It is the sacrifice and dedication of countless ancestors in all walks of life that has created today's happy life.
After class, Wu Zhenzhen continued to read the text.
There seem to be a few things I don't understand, for example, the cold spring mentioned in the article.
Intuitively, such a person who participated in the Manhattan Project came to China from the United States must also be a legend.
So, in the next computer class, Wu Zhenzhen naturally started a carpet quest with a language book.
Naturally, this process began with Oppenheimer.
Then, in Oppenheimer's story, Wu Zhen felt surprised.
That country, which has always prided itself on being a liberal democracy, would treat its heroes in this way.
With the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Oppenheimer himself fell into deep self-reproach.
It seems that this weapon that creates a terrible mushroom cloud should not appear in the world.
However, there is no turning back from the bow, and after Pandora's box is opened, this matter is no longer up to the person who opened the box.
As Churchill's speech ended, the arms race was escalating.
Therefore, in the next period of time, Oppenheimer, who was unwilling to continue to develop a hydrogen bomb, naturally had a hard time.
Although scientists such as Oppenheimer and Einstein kept making statements, the contest between the two superpowers had begun.
So, naturally, Oppenheimer was oppressed in the United States for the rest of the year, and naturally, so was Einstein.
However, Einstein did not survive this oppression.
And although Oppenheimer was still fortunate to witness the moment of rehabilitation, it was almost time to run out of oil and lamps. 166 Reading Network
