In the afternoon, Ouyang Jian's special plane landed at Lanzhou Airport, and Peng Dehuai and Xu Xiangqian went to the airport to greet them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoOuyang Jian stepped off the plane and shook hands with Peng Dehuai and Xu Xiangqian respectively. "Brother Ouyang, congratulations on turning the tide of the Far East in one fell swoop!" "Brother Ouyang, the powerful Soviet army is nothing more than that." "Mr. Peng, how is the situation in Xinjiang?" "According to He Long's report, the troops of the Soviet Russian steppe front entered Xinjiang by two routes, and due to He Long's limited troops, the main force is currently deployed in Karamay, making every effort to deal with the Soviet army in the direction of Tacheng."

"He Long's deployment is correct, abandon the northern Alatei, concentrate superior forces, and you can fight a war of annihilation." Ouyang Jian seemed to remember something and asked, "Mr. Peng, has Lao Jiang returned to Chongqing?" "He has fully understood the situation, so he can't wait to return to Chongqing, and he wants to personally announce to the world that he will not let go of this opportunity." "It's okay, once the test explosion is successful, the news will be spread all over the world as soon as possible, and we need this shocking result."

Several military jeeps went straight to the secret research institute on the outskirts of Lanzhou, and Qian Xuesen, the director of the institute, and others greeted them in front of the door when they heard the news. "General Ouyang, I can wait for you when I look forward to you." Qian Xuesen said happily. "Mr. Qian, is there any problem?" "The test explosion bomb has been sent to the test site, and all kinds of test data are here, and you need to make a final decision." Peng Dehuai said: "Brother Ouyang, I am a layman, and they need you to make a final decision." ”

"Mr. Peng, it's a bit hypocritical, during this time, you have personally commanded the command, and the theoretical argumentation results are satisfactory, I have heard." "There's no way, if it weren't for the Northeast War, your position should be here. Actually, I don't need to do anything here, all the work is done by Mr. Qian, scientists and engineers, and my task is to provide them with logistical support. "Chief of the General Staff, Mr. Peng is modest, he personally sits in charge, and the coordination in all aspects is smoother, which improves our work efficiency."

"Mr. Peng, Mr. Qian is a rigorous scientist, and there will be no moisture when he speaks. Even if I don't come, the experiment will be successful under your command. "Brother Ouyang, everyone is waiting for you, let's get down to business!" Walking into a room, the main scientists involved in the development of the atomic bomb are waiting in the room. Everyone responded with warm applause. Ouyang Jian stepped forward to shake hands with everyone, and then motioned for everyone to sit down and said: "Comrades, in this period of crisis, I salute you for shouldering the sacred mission and working with all your selflessness!" ”

Ouyang Jian, Peng Dehuai, and Xu Xiangqian raised their hands and saluted solemnly. "General Ouyang, this is our duty. Now that the atomic bomb has not yet been successfully tested, we do not deserve such lofty courtesy. Qian Xuesen waved his hand.

Peng Dehuai said: "Mr. Qian, everything I have seen and felt during this period not only moved me, but also made me believe that the experiment will be successful. Your rigorous scientific attitude, meticulous work style, and serious attitude towards every data speak for themselves. "Mr. Peng, the atomic bomb has not yet exploded, so it doesn't explain everything. We have only done local experiments and theories, and frankly we have only a 50 percent chance of success. ”

Ouyang Jian waved his hand and said: "Mr. Qian is serious, I think that the success is at least 90 percent, I believe in my judgment, the success of the atomic bombing is not only related to the current Sino-Soviet war, but also related to the core interests of the Chinese nation, and related to the future status of the world's great powers." We do not possess the atomic bomb to dominate the world, but to counter violence with violence, and peace must be built on a strong foundation. I came to visit you, it is an affirmation of your work, I am confident that it is difficult for you, right? ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, "Comrades, I see confidence in your faces. Tomorrow, Mr. Qian, Mr. Peng, and Director Xu and I will go to the test site, and let us welcome the exciting moment together. Qian Xuesen stood up and said: "All our efforts are just the last step. It can be said that the atomic bomb can be made, and General Ouyang has made great contributions, and he has saved us from many detours. The Americans succeeded, why can't we. We have repeatedly considered all the unfavorable factors, and after a thousand tests, the Chief of the General Staff is right, and we should be confident. ”

The next day, Ouyang Jian, Peng Dehuai, Qian Xuesen, and Xu Xiangqian flew directly to Hami by transport plane. After the plane arrived at Hami airport, they changed trains and drove deep into the desert. On the train, Peng Dehai broke the silence and asked: "Brother Ouyang, Mr. Qian has organized scientific researchers to start researching the missiles and other advanced weapons in the future that you mentioned, I want to hear your prospects?" "Mr. Peng, in the cutting-edge field of future science, the chief of the general staff has been at the forefront of the world."

Qian Xuesen continued: "In fact, missiles are only a part of it, our research work has already begun, and Mr. Peng probably doesn't know that the chief of the general staff has a mature plan." "Brother Ouyang, I only heard about missiles when I came here, and you never told me about them, you hid them deep enough." "Brother Peng, I have only talked to Runzhi about missiles, etc., and because it involves a high degree of confidentiality, I have not disclosed it to anyone except Runzhi and Mr. Qian. We are on the verge of having an atomic bomb, so the development of missiles must be on the agenda. Since I am going to implement the research plan, I will explain it in detail."

"What is a missile, it is to carry out long-range precision strikes. In the future, the range of our missiles will not be hundreds of kilometers or thousands of kilometers, but must reach tens of thousands of kilometers. "Tens of thousands of kilometers?" Peng Dehuai and Xu Xiangqian opened their mouths in surprise. "Yes, this is the missile of the future. The carrier of missiles is a rocket, and if we put explosives on a rocket, it becomes a missile, and if we put an atomic bomb on a rocket, it becomes a missile nuclear weapon. "Precision-guided atomic bombs, I can't imagine it." Peng Dehuai sighed.

"The rocket flies tens of thousands of kilometers, it must pass through the atmosphere, it must hit the target thousands of miles away, it must have intercontinental missiles. Scientists from the United States and Europe, including Soviet and Russian scientists, are also working on launch vehicles. In addition, with the rapid development of science and technology, future communications will be revolutionized, and rockets will send artificial satellites into the sky. "Wait, I'm a little confused, what is Sputnik?" Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "Brother Peng, you have to digest a lot of cutting-edge things slowly, simply put, Sputnik is." ”

"Brother Ouyang, it sounds exciting, but I didn't understand it." "Rockets involve the military field, you will understand, and I think you will also see it." "Mr. Peng, I have studied the knowledge of rocket theory in the United States, but it is not as profound and comprehensive as the chief of the general staff said, especially in the application of rockets. Chief of the General Staff Ouyang has already drawn a clear line, and if we follow this route, within two years we will have a primary rocket with a range of several hundred kilometers without problems. ”

Qian Xuesen said confidently: "If it goes well, we will use 10 years to send artificial satellites into the sky, and this goal is very likely to be achieved." In the past two years, on the basis of studying the atomic bomb, we have conducted a feasibility study on the technical theory of carrier rockets, and the next step is to set up a special space research institute. ”

Xu Xiangqian said: "Mr. Peng, the current aviation research institute has been established, within 3 years, we will have a long-range bomber like the American B29, and within 4 years, we will have a jet fighter." "Brother Ouyang, it's really an eye-opener, I'm too lonely and unheard, I didn't expect that your eyes are already looking at the future, I'm still sitting in the well and watching the sky, studying what kind of big army assault theory, it's really ridiculous." No wonder Brother Ouyang is disdainful of the battle of the large corps, I understand now. "Heated discussions with each other, time flies quickly, and before you know it, 4 hours have passed, and the train has arrived at the final station.

Except for Ouyang Jian and others, there were no other passengers at the terminal. In addition to military supplies on the platform, there are heavily guarded soldiers. Ouyang Jian, Peng Dehuai, Qian Xuesen, and Xu Xiangqian, after getting off the train, changed to a jeep and went straight to the test site under the escort of a truck of guards. As far as the eye can see, the convoy drives on the yellow sand-covered road, which seems to bring a glimmer of life here. After another 3 hours of bumpy driving, they arrived at the experimental base, which was actually 60 kilometers away from the test site, which was the safest distance.

The experimental base was very quiet, and Xu Xiangqian explained: "Therefore, the engineering and technical personnel, officers and soldiers involved in the test are all in the final inspection of the test site, so the base is very quiet." "It's almost dusk, and Ouyang Jian has decided to go to the test site tomorrow. After dinner, the sky was still bright. Qian Xuesen went to rest early due to fatigue from the journey. Xu Xiangqian, as the general manager, naturally has to perform his duties. Ouyang Jian and Peng Dehuai were temporarily idle, and the two walked on the Gobi and enjoyed the scenery of the desert. "Brother Peng, it's 7 o'clock in the evening, and it's already dark in the Northeast at this time!" Ouyang Jian looked at the east and muttered to himself.

"Brother Ouyang, the battle situation in the Northeast has become clear, what else do you have to worry about." "It's not that I'm worried about the war situation in the Northeast, I'm worried about the test explosion, and I'm not 100% sure of anything." "Brother Ouyang, I will explode the day after tomorrow, if you want to say that I am nervous, I am more nervous than you." Ouyang Jian smiled: "So I control myself not to think about the results of the experiment for the time being." lest emotions affect others. "Brother Ouyang, you have deceived me, but I believe that after so many years of hard work, you will definitely succeed."

"Brother Peng, the success of this experiment is standing at a critical juncture in history, which is the reason why I am worried. The day after tomorrow is a critical moment to witness the fate of the Chinese nation, let us wait patiently! Peng Dehuai looked at Ouyang Jian's resolute face, looked at the vast Gobi and fell silent. Mr. Peng, at this time, the chairman is probably also nervous, and I feel that I have a heart. "Yes, comrades at headquarters, they are more anxious and nervous than we are!
