For the nuclear industry, Yang Weiping has always been in awe of his subconscious.

His parents died of nuclear radiation because of their long-term involvement with nuclear engineering.

Although there are many risks in the nuclear industry, Yang Weiping knows better that if the nuclear industry does not develop, nuclear power is a luxury.

Although China's nuclear industry started relatively early, after the Sino-Soviet relations broke down and all Soviet experts were evacuated, China's nuclear industry, which was developed by self-exploration, was still relatively rough in terms of overall technology.

The quality management system of the nuclear industry of the Federal Republic of Germany is quite sound, and its pressurized water reactor technology, nuclear power plant evaporator replacement technology, irradiated fuel transport container technology, nuclear power plant refueling and nuclear fuel service management, including reactor fuel element technology, are currently at the world's first-class level.

At present, Huaxia and the Federal Republic of Germany have long signed a sub-strategic alliance and cooperative relationship, and the introduction of the nuclear industry technology and management model of the Federal Republic of Germany has long been regarded as a key project by Yang Weiping and handed over to the Nuclear Industry Management Office under the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

Yang Weiping insisted on continuing and expanding the 861 Project, and the State Council, taking into account the actual financial situation of the central government, said in one sentence: If you want money, you can ask for policies.

Since Yang Weiping is willing to contract privately and take the lead in importing advanced nuclear industry technology and equipment from the Federal Republic of Germany, it is of course better to revitalize a commercial nuclear power plant operation model than to let a project costing nearly 800 million RMB be left abandoned.

In addition, the Daya Bay nuclear power plant construction project in the Shenzhen-Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is currently in talks with the British government in Hong Kong, so that the Baishou nuclear power plant can be carried out first and a set of experiences have been summed up, which will certainly have many benefits for the state to control the commercial operation of the nuclear power plant at the macro level.

The original plan of Project 861 was to serve as a pan-fuel processing production base, that is, to extract PU239 from scrapped U235 raw materials for reuse. However, the cave project is designed and constructed according to the dual-purpose design of production and power generation.

In addition to the graphite water-cooled reactor part, there is also a waste treatment part, including the treatment of polluting waste such as waste water and waste fuel rods.

And this aspect. The German shareholder of the Baishou large-scale nuclear power plant, the Bipolis Nuclear Power Plant of the Federal Republic of Germany, has very mature technology and management experience.

The introduction of this technology, in addition to the joint venture to build a large-scale nuclear power plant in Baishou. It also carries out in-depth cooperation in the scientific research and safety of small and medium-sized pressurized water reactors, uranium technology, uranium ore geology and ore processing, and the production and application of radioisotopes.

The Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense has also reached an agreement with the Federal German Power Plant Alliance and the Reactor Fuel Element Alliance to evaluate the investment in how China's Yibin component plant can be transformed to produce components for large-scale nuclear power plants.

It can be said that the Baishou large-scale nuclear power plant project is personal to Yang Weiping. For the development of the western region, for the country, for the Federal Republic of Germany. It's a win-win partnership.

In order to strengthen the technical team of the Baishou large-scale nuclear power plant, Yang Weiping used the privileges of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense to relocate the Lanzhou Gas Separation Plant to Baishou Town as a whole. In view of the accumulation and reserve of technology from the first generation of gas separation method to the research and development of modern centrifuges in China's nuclear industry.

There is no doubt that Yang Weiping has regarded the Baishou large-scale nuclear power plant project as an incubation base for China's future nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, submarines and ships.

Here, with the help of the existing building of Project 861 and security secrecy. Yang Weiping has set up a professional Tiangong nuclear power research laboratory, and all the experimental equipment is the world's first-class instruments and equipment purchased from Europe.

As early as the beginning of Yang Weiping's tenure as director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, he regarded caring for the health of scientific research workers and technical workers in the nuclear industry as a top priority, and this move undoubtedly won the incomparable gratitude and respect of all technical personnel and technicians engaged in nuclear industry work in China.

Director Yang wants to set up a nuclear power research laboratory, which is naturally a response.

At the same time, the State Council has planned to reduce the funding of nuclear industry units and research. Many of the nuclear industry technicians who have been ignored and left out in the cold are now gathered in Baishou Town.

Starting from the urban area of Fuling District, Chongyu City, a convoy of five Mercedes-Benz G-type off-road vehicles detoured along the newly completed Fuling section of National Highway 319 on the winding mountain road.

On one side of the turbulent Wujiang River, on the other side is the leafy mountain beam. In the spring rains, the entire mountainous area is shrouded in a mist.

Through the misty rain and fog, countless small hills loom in the background, and the main project of the Baishou large-scale nuclear power plant, that is, the original 861 underground nuclear plant base, is hidden in the belly of this mountain at an altitude of more than 1,100 meters.

Since the nuclear power plant has not yet been put into operation, it is still classified as a military restricted area, and the armed police force stationed in a regiment is responsible for protection, and outsiders cannot approach it without a special permit issued by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

On the map of China and Chongqing released to the public, there are no coordinates and place names of this mountainous area.

Through the window glass, Yang Weiping silently looked at the mountains and forests shrouded in rain and fog in the distance, his eyes squinted slightly, and his eyes looked extraordinarily profound.

In the current environment in which the state advocates going all out to speed up economic development, it is natural that we do not very well see such a large project as the technical research of the nuclear industry, which burns money and does not see obvious benefits.

Some people in the central government have even openly shouted that we already have atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, and that we should waste state resources on what kind of nuclear industry we should do in order to concentrate funds and resources to develop light industry and improve the material living standards of the masses of the people should be the most important task for the state to vigorously grasp economic work at present!

The utilitarian atmosphere of rushing for quick success and focusing only on immediate interests has become more and more prevalent in the southeastern coastal areas.

Many projects and units that have made quick money and created huge economic benefits have gradually affected the judgment of the high-level leaders of the central government on macroeconomic development.

To be honest, Yang Weiping really feels too tired and tired now. He really didn't want to get involved in the political struggle at home.

If you love tossing, just toss!

Lao Tzu concentrated his efforts on the large-scale development of the western region, established and perfected the nine new industrial chains, and will settle the account with you in the future!

In Baishou Town, in addition to large-scale nuclear power plant projects, there is also a Tiangong Jianfeng Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. invested by Tiangong International Heavy Industry Group. It has absorbed more than 6,000 military-to-civilian technical personnel and officers and soldiers in the original 861 project, and has more than 20 branches of production and operation nature, as well as a Tiangong Chemical Research and Design Institute. It is a typical integrated enterprise integrating production, scientific research, education and trade.

The projects involved in seven categories, including chemical industry, electric power, electric metallurgy, machinery, plastic products, rubber products, building materials, etc., are 28 kinds.

The company is a new modern chemical enterprise restructured from the former 861 state-owned chemical plant.

The main production projects include a large-scale fertilizer plant with an annual output of 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia / 520,000 tons of urea, a self-supplied thermal power plant with an installed capacity of 30,000 kilowatts, a production line with an annual output of 1 million radial automobile tires, a production line with an annual output of 3,600 tons of electrolytic manganese metal, a production line with an annual output of 30 million plastic woven bags, an annual output of 20,000 tons of water glass / 5,000 tons of precipitation silica production line, an annual output of 20,000 tons of nitrogen, phosphorus, The production equipment of potassium three-element high-efficiency compound fertilizer, as well as the polyacrylate special rubber and rubber products equipment to fill the current gap in China, etc.

When the convoy passed through Baishou Town and the location of Tiangong Jianfeng Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., it did not stop, but went to the martyrs' cemetery in Youfang Village on the outskirts of the town according to Yang Weiping's instructions.

The rain was not heavy, after getting out of the car, Yang Weiping did not let Meng Shouzheng hold an umbrella for him, wearing an 81-style field trench coat, came to the main monument of the martyrs' cemetery, and with a pious mood, mourned the 53 martyrs and 18 comrades who died of illness who died for the construction of the 861 project buried here.

Among the tombstones surrounded by pine branches, a middle-aged disabled man in his forties who was on crutches stopped his hoeing work and looked at the group of strangers mourning the martyrs in front of the main monument with bewildered eyes.

Wang Chunmao, a villager from Youfang Village, who has lived here for generations, also participated in the construction of the 861 Project, and his left leg was broken by a rockfall in a landslide.

He hadn't seen any outsiders come to this martyr's cemetery to mourn the martyrs for a long time, and from the dress of this group of people and the five jeeps parked at the entrance of the cemetery, it can be seen that this group of people should be cadres with great background.

Wang Maochun walked slowly towards the main monument with a cane on crutches.

Yang Weiping also saw this middle-aged disabled farmer with patches on his clothes and pants at this time, looked around, and didn't see anyone else, he nodded to the other party with a solemn face, and said very casually: "Fellow, are you the mausoleum keeper here? I'm sorry, I didn't say hello to you. ”

"Listening to your accent, it should be a foreigner, right?" Wang Maochun asked in a thick Sichuan-Shu accent.

"Yes, we are from the capital. Yang Weiping nodded.

"It's from the capital, that's a big official. Wang Maochun muttered to himself: "It's rare that you still remember these people lying here!"

"All the martyrs who sacrificed for the country, the country will never forget!" Yang Weiping said solemnly.

"I hope so!" Wang Maochun sighed, shook his head and said nothing.

"Could it be that the local civil affairs department doesn't care about this place anymore?" Yang Weiping asked thoughtfully.

"It's been a long time since no one cared. Wang Maochun sighed and said: "You just asked me if I am the mausoleum keeper here, I am and I am not. Yes, it is because the cleaning and maintenance of this martyr's cemetery is voluntary by the people of our village. The reason why we said no was because the civil affairs department had not paid us a penny of wages or subsidies. ”

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs doesn't care, is there no one to take care of the chemical plant?" Yang Weiping asked with a frown.

"You mean the Tiangong Chemical Factory, right?" asked Wang Maochun happily.

Yang Weiping nodded and did not speak.

"In the past, when the 861 factory was still there, there were occasionally some people who would come to see it every Qingming. But since Factory 861 was swallowed up by a foreign company, how can the capitalists care about these dead people? Wang Maochun had an obvious mocking and bitter smile on his face.
