Chapter 220: Centrifuges

Toho's reference to the left-wing and right-wing struggle actually refers to the recent Japanese prime minister's election, where the left wing tends to be anti-American and promote socialism, while the right-wing is closely following the United States as a conservative force, so the anti-war and anti-American tendencies in Godzilla are easily labeled as left-wingers by those who have a heart, especially since the left wing has failed in this political struggle.

The right-wing party, that is, the Liberal Party of Japan and the Democratic Party of Japan, merged into the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and became the largest party in the Diet, forming a stable majority in the Diet and ruling for 38 consecutive years.

In this case, coupled with the hints and protests of some authoritative figures in the United States, how could the Japanese government support this kind of anti-American and anti-war film, if it weren't for Toho's deep foundation, maybe it would really be directly blocked.

In the end, under pressure, Jimmy bought the U.S. rights to the film, and landed in the U.S. half a year later, setting a record of 47 consecutive weeks of theater in New York, which was also the first Japanese film to enter the United States.

The only regret is that even if Akira Kurosawa came forward in person, East Asia Film Company did not succeed in poaching Honda Inoshiro, Honda made it clear that although he admires director Akira Kurosawa very much, but now he has more important work to do, he wants to wait until he finishes filming his ideas on monster movies before going to Akira Kurosawa, which makes Downing sigh, history is really not easy to change.

On this day, Tang Ning found that Han Xuewei's expression was very strange, as if she was hiding something, but unfortunately she was a person who couldn't hide something, even if she tried her best to hide it, Tang Ning could still see it from her expression.

So he came to Han Xuewei's room and asked, "Weiwei, are you hiding something from me?" ”

Han Xuewei pretended to be casual and replied, "No." Why am I hiding something from you? ”

Tang Ning rubbed his chin and guessed: "The way you look means that there must be, but you don't want to tell me." Well, let me guess what it should be? Have you taken a fancy to the little white face outside? Seeing Han Xuewei's appearance of wanting to get angry, Tang Ning hurriedly said: "This is definitely not, I am still very confident in my charm." Could it be that something is wrong with my body? It's not right, if there was such a thing, you would have taken care of me in the first place, and wouldn't let me smoke or drink, then what could it be? Then, as if something suddenly came to mind, he asked, "Isn't it another letter from the other end?" ”

Han Xuewei held her mouth and said helplessly: "Can you not be so smart, why did you guess it all of a sudden, in fact, I didn't mean to hide it from you, the main thing is that I was worried about your body, which was just a little better." In case we're tired again, what are you going to do with us sisters? ”

Tang Ning took a step forward, hugged Han Xuewei into his arms, and then said: "I know you care about me, but you also know that I just can't be idle, and I can guess that it means that I know you well enough, not how smart I am." Show me the letter from the other end. Actually, I don't help with everything, I just help with it. It's just a hassle to take a look. ”

Han Xuewei reluctantly walked to the cabinet, took out a letter from it, handed it to him and said, "Give it to you, but you have to remember what you just said, don't worry about troublesome things." ”

Tang Ning took the letter and swept his eyes, and his face suddenly changed. Han Xuewei immediately asked worriedly, "What's the matter, this matter is very troublesome?" ”

Tang Ning nodded solemnly: "Well, it's very troublesome, but it has to be done." In fact, it's no wonder that Tang Ning has this expression, because the significance of this incident is really too great. This time, the domestic task assigned to the Telegin group was to purchase a batch of core components for high-speed centrifuges.

Before the crossing, Tang Ning didn't have any concept of centrifuges and molecular instruments, after all, he didn't study science and engineering, but in this life, because he had nylon factories and military factories, he had a lot more opportunities to contact and understand these instruments, so he knew very well what this high-speed centrifuge was used for. This kind of high-speed centrifuge is actually a conventional equipment in the laboratory, which is widely used in biology, chemistry, medicine and other scientific research departments and production departments, and is suitable for the rapid separation and synthesis of small samples.

Not to mention that the letter also indicated the purpose, which is used to refine uranium ore, and last year a batch of high-quality uranium ore was discovered in Jinyinzhai in Yizhang, Chenzhou, Hunan, so the domestic atomic bomb development plan was put on the agenda.

After the uranium ore excavated in nature goes through the process of water metallurgy, extraction, denitrification, etc., uranium-235 can be obtained, but uranium-238 is needed to make nuclear weapons and nuclear fuel. )

Uranium-238 is an isotope of uranium-235, which is less abundant in natural uranium ore, weapons-grade and fuel-grade raw materials, uranium-238 is of relatively high purity, all enriched uranium centrifuges are a kind of machine that extracts uranium-238 from uranium-235, whether it is the production of nuclear weapons or the production of nuclear fuel, enriched uranium centrifuges are indispensable, the specific principle is to process uranium raw materials into gaseous compounds, and then put them into high-speed rotating cylinders (similar to washing machines) Since uranium-238 is heavier than uranium-235, the gaseous compounds of uranium-238 are more easily adsorbed on the wall of the cylinder (the centrifugal force required for the rotation of heavy objects is greater), so after several centrifugal processes, uranium-238 with higher purity will be obtained, which is enriched uranium centrifuge.

Before the crossing, Tang Ning watched a TV series "State Secrets" about the development process of China's atomic bomb, initially China did not pay much attention to the development of the atomic bomb, and there was a famous quote "Can the atomic bomb solve the war?" No! The atomic bomb could not make Japan surrender, there was only the atomic bomb and there was no people's struggle, the atomic bomb was just empty. "The atomic bomb is a paper tiger used by the American reactionaries to frighten people, and it looks terrible, but in fact it is not terrible. ”

Later, the president of the French Academy of Sciences, a world-famous scientist and Nobel laureate, Jorio Anderson Anderson. Curie (who was Marie Curie's son-in-law and a member of the French Communist Party) sent a message to the Chinese scientists who had returned from France: Please tell your leaders that if you want to oppose nuclear weapons, you should have them first.
