As summer turns to autumn, the endless Gobi and desert in the west are shrouded in the glory of autumn. A steel rail stretches out into the distance, and the rail is rusty, indicating that there are few sports cars on this railway line. Suddenly, a whistle was heard in the distance, and a train appeared in view, as if to bring life to the desolate Gobi.

The steam locomotive roared in with a heap, with only three cars hanging behind the front of the locomotive, followed by a grass-green passenger car, behind which was a tanker car, and finally a cargo car full of goods. The tanker truck pulls not oil but edible water, and the truck pulls grain, vegetables and other daily necessities. It can be seen how hard life is here, and the water to drink is transported from outside, and to put it bluntly, this is not a place where people can survive at all.

In the grass-green passenger car, Ouyang Jian and his wife Mei Fang, Xu Xiangqian, Qian Xuesen, as well as staff and security personnel were seated. At this time, Mei Fang was wearing headphones on her head, and the two telegraph operators in front of her were also wearing headphones. They are not sending messages but listening, capturing the surrounding telegraphs. "Chief of the General Staff, it's good to choose this place for the test site, the vast Gobi Desert is uninhabited, and the nuclear contamination will be reduced to a minimum." Qian Xuesen, deputy commander-in-chief of the 01 project and chief scientist of nuclear weapons development, said happily.

"Mr. Qian, the test site was appointed by the Chief of the General Staff, and two years ago the laying of railways and the construction of the test site began. The engineering troops overcame many difficulties and finally built the test site. The total length of the railway is about 80 kilometers, and the distance from the end of the railway to the test site is 150 kilometers. At present, many of our materials are purchased from the United States, and after the end of the Taiwan War, cargo ships from the United States can directly enter the Yangtze River, dock at the port of Nanjing, and then directly transport them here through the Longhai Railway and the Western Railway. ”

"Chief of the General Staff, testing nuclear weapons requires a lot of money, it did not occur to you to make money in the United States, and then directly purchase supplies. Penicillin is known as soft gold, which is unimaginable, and all the links are leaky. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Mr. Qian said that when it comes to the essence of the problem, without penicillin to bring us a lot of money, we will not be able to talk about the funds for testing nuclear weapons and building a navy." Nothing can be done without money as a strong backing. ”

"It can be said that the sea, land and air force of our Eighth Route Army have grown to this day, and without strong financial backing, there would be no today's fruitful results. When it comes to earning the first pot of gold, I'm racking my brains. When I first learned through a special channel that the Arabian Peninsula had a large amount of oil reserves, I cooperated with the German arms dealer Hermann to ・・・・・・. "When we sold the land to Mobil Oil, we had to do it as a last resort.

"Chief of the General Staff, as far as I know, the Mobil Oil Company is developing rapidly in the Arabian Peninsula, where is a huge treasure, do you regret selling the land to the Americans in the first place!" Qian Xuesen asked. At that time, Japanese militarism was sharpening its knives and would use military means to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China at any time. The situation is critical, and our party is soberly aware of this and must do its utmost to prepare for war. ”

Ouyang Jian took a sip of tea and continued: "We need to reserve strategic materials and urgently need money, so we have to sell the land of Kuwait, which can be said to be the first pot of gold on the Alepbo Peninsula to open up the situation for us." We used this money not only to reserve urgently needed military supplies, steel, and expand the arsenal, but even the steel artery in the northwest was related to the first pot of gold. Speaking of regret, it is only the fulfillment of the Americans. ”

"Chief of the General Staff, the scale of the Eighth Route Army is miraculous, and the atomic bomb research is unprecedented, and we all agree that it is almost impossible for this to happen on Chinese soil, but you did it. But I feel that you are not satisfied with this why, you must know that you can't have both! Xu Xiangqian said confusedly. Brother Xu, only if we are not satisfied, can we develop and grow faster. If we succeed in our nuclear weapons experiments, we will enter the ranks of military powers in the international arena. ”

"As the saying goes: the gun shoots the first bird, and the Western powers do not want to see a strong country appear in the East. As Napoleon said, China is a sleeping lion that will shock the world when it wakes up. The Western powers want China, the sleeping lion, to continue to sleep, never to wake up, or half-asleep, and it is better to have no threat to them. But in today's China, the wishful thinking of the Western powers is already a thing of the past. ”

"The awakened Chinese people have straightened their backs, but we still have to keep a clear head. Within a year, China, the United States, and the Soviet Union, led by the Central Powers, will win the largest war in human history, but after the war is over, China's fate and future are the most important thing. ”

"After the end of the war, the United States and the Soviet Union will form two major confrontational blocs due to ******** areas, and neither of these blocs will allow the emergence of a powerful country in the East, which will use us to contain the other, and at the same time will invariably suppress us, and even use economic and other means to blockade us. In order to reverse this unfavorable situation, we urgently need something that determines, and that is the atomic bomb! ”

Ouyang Jian stood up, his eyes revealing a determined gaze, "We are developing nuclear weapons, not for war but for peace, and the purpose is to stop war with war. The lessons of history have repeatedly taught us that belligerence will perish, but forgetfulness of war will also perish. We have a powerful weapon in our hands, and the purpose is to make all warmongers dare not start war easily. The United States will take the lead in nuclear weapons, and with the scientific strength of Soviet Russia, Britain and France, it will also possess atomic bombs one after another. ”

"In the future, nuclear containment will be the most important thing, and mutual restraint will be used to achieve the goal of peace. To put it bluntly, the atomic bomb is not for war, and in that case it would destroy the entire human world. But I don't dare to guarantee that the United States will not use atomic bombs, it is possible that they will use them against Japan. Therefore, we must have an atomic bomb as soon as possible, lest the Americans use the nuclear threat to bind us. ”

"The Chief of the General Staff said it well, I would like to use one day as two days now. At present, we are fully equipped for atomic bomb testing, but progress in obtaining nuclear materials has been slow. But I am confident that we will test the explosion later next year, as long as the nuclear materials meet the standards. "Mr. Qian, I believe in you. In fact, in the process of developing nuclear weapons, our greatest gain is the training of a group of outstanding scientists. ”

"Mr. Qian, the plan for developing guided weapons submitted by you has been approved by the General Headquarters and included in the medium- and long-term development plan." "Great, if we have long-range delivery and precision guidance, we will be invincible in the world." "Mr. Qian, I have good news for you. The headquarters has decided to establish the Academy of Aerospace and Aeronautical Sciences, appoint you as the president of the Academy of Sciences, and the scientific research projects of relevant departments will be issued before the end of the year. "Please rest assured that Qian will live up to his responsibilities!" Qian Xuesen did not refuse, and his face was firm.

"The Eighth Route Army not only has land, sea and air, but is about to have an atomic bomb, which is inconceivable for China. Chief of the General Staff, you have contributed to all this! Xu Xiangqian felt it. Brother Xu, don't say that, it should be the result of everyone's efforts. Now we have to make a big deal with nuclear weapons, and this is our last chance to maximize our benefits, and we must firmly grasp it. ”

"After the war, we must create a strong environment and form a pattern of development by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, from an agricultural country to an industrial country as soon as possible. There is no doubt that we will become a military power after the war, but without a strong economic foundation to back it up, a military power will also be left behind. Therefore, we also need to build a political, economic, scientific and technological power, and have a place in the world. ”

"Report, the train has arrived at the terminal station Rob Town!" A subordinate reported.
