The dam is only halfway through construction, and you can clearly see the water rushing down from zhōngyāng, and you can still hear the rumbling sound even from a distance of several miles. Most of the domestic hydropower station construction began in 1920, but because of technical problems, most of them were small hydropower, and the real big projects only had initial capabilities last year, and many of them were designed with the help of European and American engineers. The construction in front of me should have started at that time, and it would take three or four years to achieve power generation from the outside.

However, the hydropower station is not the main problem, the question is whether the president will take everyone to see the hydropower station thousand? When Leng Jie was puzzled, several military Hanjiang big gupu cars drove over from the end of the airport, and when Li Fuji got out of the car, he couldn't help but shout: "Mr. Zemin?!" ”

"Isn't this Leng Jie, when did you come back?"

Li Fuji is the most famous physics veteran in China, and he is also one of Leng Jie's physics tutors, but he didn't expect to see it in this unknown mountain. At this time, Yang Qiu also got out of the cabin and took the initiative to say hello when he saw him: "Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work." ”

"The president has tormented me, and I am fortunate to be able to do my best for the country, how dare I be praised by you." Li Fuji is fifty years old, but his voice is loud.

He was indeed very happy, because since 1925, when he was called by Yang Qiu to take the lead in building the country's first high-energy physics laboratory in Chóngqìng, he and the Ministry of Education have promoted the establishment of physical chemistry laboratories in major universities across the country. The high-energy physics laboratory has also grown from a dozen to hundreds now, and with the return of Leng Jie and others, it is only a matter of time before it grows again.

These old physicists are very excited to see physics blossoming everywhere in China, so they also respect Yang Qiu, who has been emphasizing and promoting the development of mathematics, physics and chemical engineering in China.

The convoy soon came to a quiet small basin, the basin zhōngyāng is scattered with dozens of buildings of all kinds, high-voltage transmission towers can be seen on the top of the mountain, and there is a cement road leading to the outside world in the southwest corner, but the highway is guarded by soldiers, and there are not many cars entering and leaving along the way. After Li Fuji's introduction, Leng Jie learned that in fact, he is not far from Chengdu now, and it only takes 3 hours to drive. And this experimental base is only one of the high-energy physics experimental bases, and there are several such bases in the country.

Compared with the advanced experimental bases in Europe and the United States, the conditions here are still very simple, especially the living facilities are completely incomparable with the big cities, but from the perspective of site selection and security forces, the degree of secrecy of the laboratory is probably very high. "Teacher, when was this base built?" When getting out of the car, Leng Jie took the opportunity to take the initiative to support Li Fuji and asked, "What kind of experiment needs to be so large-scale?" ”

Speaking of the research project of the high-energy physics laboratory, Li Fuji's face rose a little cháo, and he smiled: "This is a refining experimental field, with a lot of equipment, including water sulfide hydrogen sulfide exchange towers, compressors, and ammonia hydrogen exchange towers" Speaking of the equipment in the base, Li Fu is very unfamiliar with the ears of Leng Jie and other new generation physicists. It's not that they don't know these things, it's that they don't understand what it can bring together.

Seeing the confused eyes of the crowd, Li Fuji deliberately bought a pass, and said with a smile: "Let's go, you will know when you go in." ”

Compared with Leng Jie and others, Yang Qiu's pace was very fast, and he looked through the list of bases and the schedule of experimental projects while walking. When the group entered and walked to the door of the largest experimental building in zhōngyāng, two familiar figures greeted them.

On the left is Hu Gangfu, a master of domestic physics, and on the right is Yu Dehai, a former major general of the National Defense Forces. Seeing the latter, Yue Peng immediately twisted his eyebrows, Yu Dehai was an old officer who followed Yang Qiu in Xinhai years, and was promoted to major general after the European War, and later suddenly retired for some reason during the military reform. Everyone thought he had returned to his hometown, but they didn't expect to appear here. The uniform on his body confirmed that he had joined the National Jǐng Guard, and this base was presumably protected by his troops.

Seeing him, Yue Peng finally knew why he didn't know this, because Yang Qiu was not using military forces, but the National Guards, which had not attracted much attention!

The National Jǐng Guard is more like a supplement to the internal affairs and regular army in terms of function, and it belongs to the lightly armed troops, so it pays little attention to it both abroad and at home, and the discipline of the troops is not as good as that of the regular army, so many people do not like this army very much. But because of this, everyone ignored that Yang Qiu had already firmly controlled this army through Xiao Anguo, and gradually the National Jǐng Guard also became the first choice for doing some confidential things.

For example, the protection of highly classified experiments and engineering projects.

"President, Chief of Staff." Yu Dehai didn't mind Yue Peng's gaze, in fact, he did really retire back then, but later joined the National Jǐng Guard under Yang Qiu's persuasion. However, he joined not an ordinary army, but a garrison brigade dedicated to protecting important secrets.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Qiu patted him on the shoulder, and asked a few words of concern before walking in with Li Fuji, who was already impatient. Seeing this, Yue Peng and Jiang Fangzhen hurriedly grabbed Yu Dehai and asked the reason.

Yu Dehai did not hide it, and told all about joining the garrison brigade after he retired that year, and when he learned that the garrison brigade used the number of the 11th brigade of the national guard to protect important secret facilities, Yue Peng was whetted by this method and asked: "So, you have been here for the past few years?" ”

"Not exactly. The garrison brigade has a large establishment, and there are dozens of bases to be protected, and this is only one of the relatively large ones. ”

"Dozens?" Jiang Fangzhen didn't like this kind of dark box cāo very much, but looking at the scale of this place and the need to form a special force to protect it, I am afraid it is not simple, so he asked: "What is made here?" ”

"I don't understand either, but I've heard them say that they seem to be working on something called heavy water."

"Heavy water?"

Not only were Yue Peng and Jiang Fangzhen, who were left behind, confused, but even the physics experts who came back from abroad in front were confused. They didn't know what heavy water was, because it was discovered in 1931, which means it would be months before it appeared. Although Yang Qiu deployed the research early, it was not until the beginning of November that the real heavy water was refined, and he rushed to inspect it after learning the news.

The experimental building is divided into many areas, and along the way, Leng Jie found that ordinary equipment such as hand-cranked computers are very common here, and there are many new equipment that has just been used in Europe and the United States. He roughly estimated that not counting the construction of the base, all the scientific research equipment here alone is estimated to cost tens of millions of people, and he can't help but have more expectations for this "heavy water".

Under the leadership of Li Fuji, everyone soon came to the comprehensive experimental area on the two basement floors of the building. Access to this spacious test area requires four heavy iron gates, each guarded by soldiers, which shows how tight it is. Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more expectant, Li Fuji didn't dare to slack off and personally opened the large safe in the corner of the laboratory, and took out a box of glass ampoules similar to Western medicine injections from inside.

The ampoule is not big, it contains something transparent like water, and when he saw this thing, Leng Jie immediately asked, "Teacher, is this heavy water?" ”

"Yes!" Li Fuji excitedly explained to everyone what heavy water is, and when he heard that heavy water can be used as a diffuser and coolant, Leng Jie vaguely seemed to catch something, but soon became confused.

Yang Qiu picked up the ampoule and looked at it carefully, this small bottle seems to be no different from boiled water, but it is worth 10,000 gold, which also means that China has taken the first step in the field of nuclear technology. In the end, seeing him so serious, Leng Jie, who couldn't hold it back, finally couldn't help but ask: "President, what do you want this heavy water for?" ”

"Nuclear fission!"

By this time, Yang Qiu was finally able to decrypt it. Except for the officers, all of them were physics experts like Leng Jie, so he immediately asked Yan Yuqiu to take out the materials that had already been prepared and hand them to Leng Jie and others. In a somewhat excited voice, he recounted the idea of using the energy generated by atomic fission to generate electricity and create more powerful weapons.

In fact, he didn't understand the atomic bomb, although there were drawings of the atomic bomb in the data machine, but there were no manufacturing instructions, and the most critical materials were even less, so he could only fool some of the popular nuclear technology in later generations. But even so, Leng Jie was still fascinated by it, and even Yue Peng and Jiang Fangzhen were brought into the mysterious world of science, and when the idea of the final atomic bomb was spoken, almost all those who stepped into the laboratory opened their mouths wide.

Is it possible for a bomb to theoretically explode enough to destroy a city?!

In the stunned crowd, Yang Qiu finally told him about the 3010 plan he had been brewing for a long time. This is the most ambitious blueprint, and it is also a super plan for whether the Chinese nation can stand on top of the world. Beginning in December 1930, the state will allocate 200 million yuan per year for the next 15 years to study 10 major projects and 319 small projects, including nuclear energy, aviation, electronics, etc., and will also set up national institutions such as the Aviation Center and the Nuclear Energy Technology Center in the future.

In a sense, the 3010 program has been comparable to the famous Star Wars program in later generations, and once all the research is successful, it will greatly promote the improvement of the country's science and technology and comprehensive strength, and can make the Republic of China leap from a regional power to a world power.

Yang Qiu raised the ampoule in his hand and shook it, his face was calm and confident: "This small bottle is our first step to becoming a world power!" I don't know how to go through the road ahead, but I think that all science and technology are actually actions to break through the unknown, and I hope you can find more cornerstones and pave a broad road to the world's powers! ”

Yan Yuqiu quickly recorded this moment in his notebook.

On December 27, 1930, the 3010 program, which affected the course of China and even the world, was officially launched in this underground laboratory.
