During the Spring Festival of '42, An Yi did not reunite with his family, nor did he attend the endless Spring Festival group visits, but the Laizhou Nuclear Physics Research Center and Physics Experimental Base, and watched the live videos of the two nuclear tests before and after with the political leaders and important members of the Military Commission.

The first nuclear test took place in December last year.

Footage captured by multiple cameras faithfully captures what happened before and after the nuclear explosion and what the outside world was like.

At the beginning of the film, the progress of the development of the Nanhua atomic bomb is introduced. The two atomic bombs developed by the Nuclear Physics Research Center, including a gun-type uranium bomb and an implosion plutonium bomb, both weigh less than 2,000 kilograms, and are completely large enough to be carried and dropped by existing bombers.

Since both atomic bombs were to be tested and tested in order to improve and develop optimized nuclear warheads, neither was an air-dropped bomb design, but a barrel-mounted atomic explosive device.

Unlike the bulkiness and inefficiency of the two atomic bombs produced by the Americans for the first time in history, the samples produced by the South China Nuclear Physics Research Center this time are much shorter, more lean, and much more practical. There are two main reasons why the atomic bomb was made so small in the first place:

The first is to have sufficient time to prepare. Weapons-grade uranium capable of using an atomic bomb was refined in early September last year, and the experiment was scheduled for December, so there was plenty of time to design. Since there is no need for over-design with a high safety factor, as long as it can explode, various data can be collected, and the difficulty is not high;

The second is that before the early trial production of nuclear weapons, the engineers and military experts of the Nuclear Physics Research Center, who are specially responsible for the manufacture of warheads, have played the subcritical test explosion (see the previous chapter 1692) thousands of times.

Another point is that after more than a decade of accumulation, Nanhua has now hoarded more than 2 million tons of uranium ore, most of which comes from Canada, Australia and South Africa.

As we all know, due to the economic crisis, the economies of Canada, Australia and South Africa have fallen into a long-term downturn, so when they saw people taking US dollars and pounds to collect this kind of easy-to-find ore (cubic uranium, bituminous uranium, crystalline uranium, amorphous uranium, etc. are all highly radioactive and can be easily detected with instruments) and "useless" ores, the capitalists were excited to find the veins and increase their mining efforts.

After years of mining, the uranium mines of the three countries were almost scraped by the leather bag companies controlled by South China, and only gradually stopped with the outbreak of war.

In addition, before the official establishment of the "Manhattan Project" by the US government, Anyi Group also bought nearly 400,000 tons of uranium ore from the United States, Brazil and other places through layers of registered mining groups. At present, uranium mining in Kazakhstan and Mongolia has been put on the right track, and uranium mines in northeastern India have also entered construction, so that the production of nuclear weapons in South China will be effectively guaranteed in the future.

Without worrying about wasting valuable nuclear materials, the engineers and ordnance experts in charge of the atomic bomb design were able to easily go into battle and maximize their capabilities.

The first nuclear test was full of twists and turns.

The two times originally selected had to be postponed due to sudden sandstorms and weather changes, but on December 22, the winter solstice festival, the meteorological department's forecast was not wrong again, and the weather conditions were good, and the sky was cloudless, which was a good time to conduct the experiment.

The pre-experiment scene appeared on the big screen.

In the middle of the desert, where the sky stretches as far as the eye can see, stands a 128-meter-tall iron tower, which is the iron tower where the atomic bomb named "Big Pudding" is placed.

Around the tower, there are four or five storey buildings made of reinforced concrete for experiments, as well as two- or three-story brick and concrete houses. Inside and outside these buildings, different experimental objects are placed in different locations, and there are all kinds of detection equipment and photographic facilities, and various animals are quietly eating in iron cages, unaware of the impending crisis.

Between the buildings, and in the wilderness in the distance, planes, tanks, artillery, armored vehicles, and countless strong-looking fortifications were parked, and in the beautiful sea of sand, there were two small warships, all of which would be put to the test in the next experiment.

Subsequently, the picture of the movie changed, and the camera obviously shifted to the underground, only to see a large number of experimental instruments placed in various dim rooms, and the staff and security officers and soldiers were evacuating in an orderly manner, judging from the time, it should have happened two or three hours before the experiment.

At ten o'clock in the morning, as the countdown of the central automatic control system ended, a huge fireball suddenly appeared on the ground level, rolling up the dust on the ground, the heat wave rolled, and the fire shone brightly.

On the movie screen, the wind and waves set off by the bright red flame swept the land and were invincible.

There was a huge roar between heaven and earth, a strong shock wave, and the vast desert expanded rapidly, thundering and overwhelming

A huge shock wave, like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, completely destroyed everything it came into contact with

The furious flames, mixed with thick smoke and dust, together with the soil and gravel that had melted from the heat after the explosion, formed a huge red cyclone that continued to climb upwards.

When the huge wave of qi rose to an altitude of five or six hundred meters, the rolling crimson clouds and flames gradually formed a huge mushroom-like thing. As the mushroom climbs, the color changes from dark purple to orange-yellow, and then spreads to become larger and larger

At this time, the colors shown in the movie can also be compared with a kaleidoscope.

Thanks to the live shooting with multiple cameras, it can be seen that the entire desert has been enveloped in a dazzling light that is many times stronger than the midday sun.

The colors of the movie screen are constantly changing, gold, crimson, purple, gray, and blue are displayed in turn, impacting the hearts and minds of everyone watching the movie in the large conference room.

The strong and long-lasting terrifying roar from the movie speakers made the political leaders and important members of the Military Commission who had witnessed the scene of the nuclear explosion look at each other, and almost thought that the end of the world was coming.

At this time, the screen shifted to the control center 100 kilometers away from the nuclear explosion site, and I saw that the central computer quickly calculated the intensity of the nuclear explosion, about 21,000 tons of TNT, which was exactly the same as the results of the computer calculations before the experiment.

Seeing this, everyone in the large conference room couldn't help but stand up and applaud warmly.

Ou Yaoting, Jiang Yunshan, Xu Ziliang, Wu Tingyan, and others, who knew the inside story of the nuclear test for the first time, were so excited that they burst into tears, and they never imagined that even the advanced weapons that even Europe and the United States only exist on paper have already witnessed with their own eyes that with such a sharp weapon that destroys the world in front of their own eyes, which other country will be able to pose a threat to South China in the future?

Jiang Yunshan, Zhou Chong'an, Yin Jinan, Hu Jialin, Zhang Chengzhu, Li Jinlong, Gu Changfeng, Cheng Chengguang, Xia Jian, Ye Cheng, Huang Bingyi, Yang Fei, Deng Bin and others who knew the truth couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and then thought about what the appearance of the atomic bomb would bring to the country and the nation.

Those directly involved in the management and development of the work, such as Gong Qian, Ding Molan, Fermi, Strassmann, Liser Meitner, Leo Sillard, Bohr, Planck, Born, Li Jiaxian, and others, all show pride and pride, but if you look closely, you can see that many Jewish scientists have deep worries in their eyes.

The power of the atomic bomb is so terrifying that the movie screen shows the scene after the nuclear explosion:

The moment the atomic bomb was detonated, the entire tower turned into gas at a high temperature of thousands of degrees, and became an additive to increase the power of the atomic bomb.

The shock wave that swept away everything leveled all the reinforced concrete structures in the central area, the buildings a little far from the explosion point, those brick and wood houses had been burned down, the roads, trenches and fortifications were filled with sand and gravel, the animals involved in the experiment, the central area was almost scorched, and although the outer area was a little better, the side facing the center of the explosion was also burned, and it was dying in the cage screaming, obviously extremely painful.

The vast desert is blown by violent shock waves, showing sparse and dense undulating waves, and the ground in the central area is almost melted into richly colored glass.

The film doesn't end there, and just as everyone is ready to comment, the second nuclear test is shown again.

The second nuclear test was completed on 9 February, just five days before the Spring Festival of the Chinese New Year, at the Kara Desert Experimental Base, which is about 400 kilometers away from the first site.

The second nuclear bomb, called "Little Pudding", weighed only a thousand kilograms, was an implosion punitium bomb, and the demonstration results were not much different from the previous one.

On the movie screen, it was still a fireball that burst from the top of the tower, and the earth suddenly became thick with smoke and waves of fire. The fireballs that burst into flames jumped higher and higher, soaring straight into the sky, looking up like a huge pillar of fire, against the constantly tumbling smoke clouds, and slammed into the sky, and soon a huge mushroom cloud was formed in the air.

With the previous shock, the audience can now calm down, silently watching the huge mushroom cloud that appeared on the movie screen, the weapons and equipment that were destroyed and twisted into scrap metal, etc., the desert in the center of the explosion point, the terrain that was squeezed into a saucer by high temperature and high pressure, and within a radius of more than 300 meters from the explosion point, the sand melted and formed a layer of jasper-like emerald green hard vitreous object.

As the lights came on, the conference room resounded with gossip, and everyone excitedly and eagerly expressed their opinions, and the large conference room soon became a chatter.

When An Yi smiled and listened to everyone's opinions, Fermi, Bohr, Born and other Jewish scientists approached An Yi, and Lieza Meitner asked on behalf of everyone:

"Dear Mr. President, this is so terrible that it is hard for us to imagine what a miserable fate it would be if a human city were attacked with such a weapon, and we beg you not to use this weapon if it is not necessary, okay?"

Seeing the hopeful eyes of a group of scientists, An Yi thought for a while and replied solemnly:

"This super-powerful bomb is just like the poison gas bombs that we have already equipped our troops, and its role is to deter and threaten the enemy and play a role in maintaining peace. For our government and military, the atomic bomb must be had, but it cannot be used casually. The Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation, and we have always been strict with ourselves and lenient with others, and we will never do anything to exterminate the entire nation like the European and American colonizers and Japanese militarists.

The Jewish scientists nodded their heads when they heard this, apparently still confident in An Yi's promise.

An Yi said: "You are all experts in nuclear physics, I hope you can quickly invest in the collection and calculation of nuclear explosion data, reduce the volume and weight of the atomic bomb, especially to quickly develop an ultra-small atomic bomb with a yield of tens of tons, so that it can be used on the battlefield to save friendly forces while avoiding innocent injuries." ”

The scientists thought about it carefully and thought so.

If such a powerful bomb is thrown on the battlefield, I am afraid that it will affect many civilians, but if it develops into a low-power bomb, it will be different, it is just a simple military tactical weapon. At this thought, everyone felt much better, so they resigned one by one and went back to their work.

Ou Yaoting, who has recently been superstitious about Taoist karma, was worried about leaving a disaster for future generations, and asked worriedly: "Xiao Yi, are you really not going to use this thing?" If you kill too many people, you will lose your life."

"Dad, what am I lying to you for?"

An Yi shrugged his shoulders and said: "Now we already have a variety of weapons that are ahead of the times, unless the situation is critical, I don't plan to use its atomic bomb, which actually puts a tight spell on the war, unless there is absolute certainty, who dares to use it easily?" ”

Speaking of this, An Yi lowered his voice:

"Dad, let me tell you the truth, I'm not going to use this on land in a short time, I plan to reduce it to the power of dozens of tons of explosives, and then use it for the navy, through the radar wireless guidance of the small yield nuclear bomb, one shot can sink the battleship with thick skin, and it is sure to deal with aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers, so that it will not hurt civilians This explanation, Dad, you should be satisfied, right?"

Ou Yaoting nodded again and again, a relieved smile on his face.

An Yi is also very satisfied, his promise not to use the atomic bomb casually does not mean that he will not use it, if the situation is critical, a fool will put such a big killing weapon and sit back and watch the mountains and rivers fall.

And An Yi still buried a hole in his words, now the Institute of Nuclear Physics has been preparing for the development of the hydrogen bomb, with the accumulation of atomic bomb technology, coupled with the powerful computing power of electronic computers, as well as the vague memory of the science and education film about two bombs and one satellite that An Yi watched when he was a child, the research of the hydrogen bomb will also step onto the high-speed channel.

The hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon that uses the energy of the atomic bomb explosion to ignite the fusion reaction of light atomic nuclei such as deuterium, the isotope of hydrogen, and instantaneously releases a huge amount of energy, also known as a fusion bomb, the power of the atomic bomb is usually hundreds to tens of thousands of tons of TNT equivalent, and the power of the hydrogen bomb can be as large as tens of millions of tons of TNT equivalent, which is superior to the atomic bomb in terms of the cost per unit killing area, and the reserves of hydrogen and lithium in nature are much larger than the reserves of uranium, and there is no upper limit for the nuclear raw materials required.

However, thermonuclear reactions can only be carried out at extremely high temperatures, and such high temperatures can only be produced when an atomic bomb is exploded, so the hydrogen bomb must use the atomic bomb as a "detonator" to ignite the thermonuclear material. In the history of the development of nuclear physics, the fusion reaction of light nuclei was actually discovered earlier than the phenomenon of heavy nuclear fission, so that there is theoretical support, as long as he continues to study it consistently, An Yi believes that the results will not disappoint him.

Once a hydrogen bomb is developed, it is not a breach of promise to use such a powerful weapon against the enemy in the future.

The reason why the two nuclear tests in Central Asia were carried out at an interval were not unnoticed by other scientific research institutes, but the reason why they did not attract attention was that the governments and armies of various countries had no time to be distracted by the tragic wars in Europe and North America, where science and technology were developed.

And an hour after the end of the first nuclear test, the Central Government of South China announced that a 48-magnitude earthquake had occurred in the Kzer Desert area, and the second time it said that a 45-magnitude earthquake had occurred in the Kara Desert in the southwest.

In order to ensure that South China was ahead of the curve in nuclear weapons research, all Jewish scientists were closely monitored, but these scientific research maniacs were not keen on social activities, and they were reluctant to move their nests in the mountains of Laizhou, which saved the intelligence department a lot of trouble.
