Chapter 101: A Dream of the Republic of China (16)

The master's words are definitely not groundless nonsense, there is a town closest to the base where the people have begun to eat leaves and dig roots, but unfortunately they still can't fill their stomachs. There was a group of bold people who had the idea of replenishing the base, and a group of people gathered to snatch the food from the base, but the battalion commander Zhang killed the two who took the lead, and the others ran away in fright. The base did not continue to hold the group responsible, if it wasn't for the hunger, how could they do such a bold thing? The leader is already dead, and no one knows how long the rest will live.

After sending away the master and a group of people, Yao Huang cut the blanched cactus into strips, mixed it with the soaked flour skin, made a cactus mixed with vermicelli, boiled two large potatoes in white water, and waited for Song Tianpeng to go home for dinner. just waited until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and Song Tianpeng still didn't go home.

Putting the potatoes and cacti in the lunch box, Yao Huang walked to the research room. This kind of thing is so common that the researchers are too busy to be at home, so the family members pack up food and bring it to them. The laboratory is a classified area, and even the people on the base are not allowed to enter and leave it casually, but the supervision of the office is a little more relaxed. Song Tianpeng's office was lit up, and after saying hello to the little soldier guarding it, Yao Huang walked into the office building.

Song Tianpeng was not the only one in the office, there were also several researchers, everyone gathered together, busy on the table, not knowing what Lu Dao was doing.

"What are you doing?" Yao Huang handed the lunch box to Song Tianpeng, and saw that each of them was holding a handful of shredded paper pieces in their hands, looking for the corresponding paper collage.

A trace of anger flashed on Song Tianpeng's face, "That guy Ivanovich burned all the information and charts, and we only had time to rescue so much." He was torn to shreds. ”

Yao Huang suddenly realized that Ivanovich was an expert sent to the base by the Soviet Union. Now relations between the USSR and China have become strained. Khrushchev unilaterally tore up the cooperation treaty and withdrew all the Soviet experts who supported China to the Soviet Union. I didn't expect the Soviet specialists in the base to be so ruthless. When people are gone, even the materials will be destroyed.

"I'll put it together for you." Yao Huang drove Song Tianpeng aside to eat, and asked several other researchers to also go to eat first, and take over their work himself.

"Sister Erya, those Soviets are too hateful. They taunted that we would never be able to build an atomic bomb. Song Tianpeng said hatefully, "We must not let them underestimate us." No matter how hard and tiring we are, we will develop the atomic bomb. ”

Song Tianpeng thought of the hateful face of the Soviet expert, and said to everyone arrogantly and contemptuously: "Even if you get this data, it will take at least six years to use the computer." Before leaving, he said in a sarcastic tone: "GoodLuck". At that time. He and his colleagues really wanted to throw a fist in the face of the Soviet experts and knock them down.

"Yes, I support you. Our country will definitely be able to build an atomic bomb. I believe that this day will not be long. In three years at most, the atomic bomb of our country will be able to turn out! ”

October 16, 1964 is a day worthy of commemoration by all Chinese people. On this day, China's first atomic bomb was successfully exploded.

Two days ago, after the nuclear explosion, the debugging was completed, and the atomic bomb, which embodies the blood and sweat of all the workers at the base, was carefully installed by dozens of soldiers on the 102-meter-high test tower, which had already been built. October 15th. On the same day, the central authorities issued an order codenamed "Shooting," and the explosion of the atomic bomb entered the countdown to the last day, and researcher Song Tianpeng entered the control room of the test site 23 kilometers away. General Zhang Zhenhuan will preside over this feast.

October 16, 1964, 14:40. In the nervous eyes of everyone, General Zhang issued an order.

"Power up!"

"Power on!"

"Warm up!"

The detonation enters the countdown.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven...... Three, two, one, detonate! ”

After a brief silence. In the distance, a powerful dazzling flash erupted, and a huge sun-like fireball rose up. The shock wave swept like a hurricane. An earth-shattering explosion followed. The fireball joined with the pillar of dust that rushed up from the ground, forming a spectacular mushroom cloud......

"It worked!"

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the control room. Prolonged. There are no words to accurately describe the joy and excitement of the scientists and soldiers, who laughed and laughed with tears rolling down silently, which was truly touching.

"Sister Erya, we succeeded!" Song Tianpeng hugged Yao Huang and cried with joy. Nearly ten years of hard work have finally paid off, how can he not be excited or emotional. Yao Huang understood Song Tianpeng's mood and patted him on the back silently. At this moment, their hearts were closer.

"Sister Erya, I want to go back to the countryside to put incense on my father and mother." Song Tianpeng has been away from home for more than 30 years, and at this moment he germinated the idea of returning to his hometown, wanting to tell his father and mother that their son has become a weapon, and their son has made great contributions to the country and won glory for the old Song family.

Yao Huang hesitated for a moment, her identity was very embarrassing. was originally Song Tianpeng's sister-in-law, and later became his wife. The old Song family is afraid that they won't accept her, right?

"Sister Erya, I will protect you and won't let people gossip about you." Song Tianpeng saw Yao Huang's hesitation and solemnly assured.

"Okay, I'll go back with you!"

The experiment was successful, and the workers in the base were finally able to leave the base and return home. Before leaving, Camp Commander Zhang said to everyone happily and worriedly, "When I left home, my kid was just one year old, and now I don't know what Lu Dao has become?" Do you still recognize me? ”

Yao Huang pursed his lips and smiled, "Camp Chief Zhang, don't worry. As the saying goes, father and son are connected, even if your kid can't recognize you for a while, he will be close to you for a while. ”

"Or you scholars can talk!" Camp Commander Zhang Ha Lu smiled, "Comrade Yao, you and Comrade Song have been married for so many years, should you consider having a child?" ”

Yao Huang's face was slightly red, but Song Tianpeng was very happy, "We must consider it." ”

In the past ten years, he has been so focused on his work that the two of them simply have no time or mood to have children. Now that I'm idle, maybe it's really time to have a child, a child with two people's blood.

Stepping on the land of Songjiazhuang again, both of them felt strange. Much has changed here, the older generation has left, only three of their contemporaries are still alive, and most of the others have died in the war. The three of them were the same age as Song Tianpeng, and they recognized Song Tianpeng, but they couldn't recognize Yao Huang, who looked younger than Song Tianpeng. Song Tianpeng recorded Yao Huang's name on the genealogy, no one raised objections, and no one knew that Yao Huang was Yao Erya back then.

Song Tianpeng stayed in Songjiazhuang for a month, and then set off with Yao Huang for Beijing. In the past month, he has not seen his own eldest brother, and from the mouths of the people in the village, he knows the current situation of his eldest brother. When the civil war was about to end, Song Tianying, under the persuasion of his wife, led a group of soldiers and horses to surrender. And it wasn't until that time that Song Tianying realized that his wife turned out to be an underground party. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Song Tianying was assigned to the Southwest Military Region as a deputy commander, and just the year before last, he also took his family back to Songjiazhuang to worship his ancestors.

"If you have time, I'll accompany you to see them in the southwest!" Yao Huang held Song Tianpeng's hand and said.

Song Tianpeng was moved by Yao Huang's thoughtfulness, but he didn't want her to be embarrassed, and said, "Sister Erya, don't need it." I'll just go alone when the time comes. ”

"I know you're afraid you'll embarrass me. But it's been almost 30 years, and I don't care about it, do you still dislike me because of my past identity? ”

"Of course not." Song Tianpeng hurriedly shook his head.

"In that case, what is there to care about? I'm afraid that your eldest brother won't care about the previous things anymore, at most I only admit that I am Yao Huang, and resolutely do not admit that I am Yao Erya. Yao Huang said with a smile.

Song Tianpeng held Yao Huang's hand tightly, "I've wronged you!" ”

The two did not wait for time to visit Song Tianying's family, and soon after arriving in Beijing, Yao Huang became pregnant. The old clam gave birth to pearls, and Song Tianpeng guarded Yao Huang nervously for nearly a year, and finally ushered in the son Song Yi of the two of them. Song Yi had just turned half a year old, and the most turbulent decade in the history of New China had arrived. Song Tianpeng was captured by a group of half-grown boys, criticized the bullshed, and after a few months, he was ten years old. One of the professors who was arrested in the same group as Song Tianpeng vomited blood and died a month ago, and another expert couldn't stand the torture and went crazy. Yao Huang was holding her little son, if it weren't for the fact that the child was too young and needed her to take care of it, those "Red Guards" would also pull her out of the gang to criticize. I don't know when Lu Dao will be arrested, for the sake of the child can't sit still, Yao Huang sat down at the table, held a pen and wrote a few black words on the white paper: "Respected Premier Zhou......"

Half a month later, Song Tianpeng and the other experts were sent home, and not long after, they were sent to rural villages in the south for so-called labor reform.

"Sister Erya, this world is crazy." Song Tianpeng said uncomfortably. Young people go on strike to make movements, workers go on strike to carry out movements, farmers do not farm, traditional culture is destroyed, the economy is destroyed, and the whole society is regressing.

Yao Huang was also uncomfortable, only she knew that this movement could not end in a year or two, it lasted for a whole decade. In the past ten years, how many people have died unjustly, and how many people have died. The origin of all this is not the selfishness of a certain woman and a certain group of people.

"It will pass." Yao Huang comforted Song Tianpeng, "There is still darkness before dawn, life may not be smooth sailing, let alone a newborn country." Tianpeng, we don't have the ability to manage the affairs of the country, as long as we manage our family. We still have Yi'er, and when he grows up, this world should return to its original state......" (to be continued......

PS: PS: This section of the Soviet expert originated from a movie "Born Out of Thin Air" that a certain Zen watched, which is about the history of China's production of atomic bombs in an extremely difficult environment. There are a lot of plots in it that are very moving. In the section where the grain pass was passed, there was no food at the nuclear test base, and the soldiers gave the food to the scientific research personnel and sang military songs to fight the hunger together. A certain Zen was moved to tears.
