Introduction Nuclear explosion

Next Chapter

June 17, 1967. For those at the time, it was a day of worldwide attention.

At 8:20 a.m. that day, China's first hydrogen bomb was successfully detonated over Lop Nur. For the world at that time, the poor and backward Chinese created another "impossible" achievement. Lop Nur appeared in front of the world in a high-profile posture again. This time, instead of attracting the attention of mankind with its history and mystery, it has infinite destructive power. In just over two years, people have seen two magnificent but dangerous mushroom clouds in this area. The international focus of this special period suddenly fell on China, a hostile and isolated country.

However, no one knew that the day after the nuclear test, a long-prepared inspection team drove into the danger zone of the nuclear explosion. The purpose and motive of their trip was top secret, and as soon as the nuclear explosion had ended, other personnel were forbidden to enter the test area at the risk of their lives to investigate the results of the nuclear explosion and verify the data. However, there are reasons not to go wrong with this team. Their affiliation was 042, a mysterious institution at the time.

The name of the leader of this team is Xu Weiguo, formerly known as Xu Gouwa, who looks like he is in his forties, in fact, he is only thirty-six years old, because he participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea when he was young, and after returning to China, he caught up with the great period of literacy in the National University. Xu Weiguo was later selected into the 042 organization and became a leader who carried out various dangerous tasks.

Xu Weiguo was already a colonel before the abolition of the military rank system, but later he served as the leader of this scientific research team.

"Make up your mind, overcome all difficulties, one is not afraid of death, the other is not afraid of hardship, and strive for victory! Comrades, yesterday's successful explosion of the hydrogen bomb, which attracted worldwide attention, was a great victory for our great leader, Chairman Mao, and the great proletarian revolution! Today we will enter the site of the nuclear explosion and complete the glorious task entrusted to us by the party and the people! Xu Weiguo worked hard to cheer up the researchers. After shouting the slogan, he felt a little suffocated. The scorching sun was in the sky, and the continuous desert under his feet made him feel a little dizzy, the amount of radiation in this nuclear explosion area was amazing, and the damage to human body functions was unimaginably serious, they had made the worst mental preparations before they came in, and it was a supreme honor to sacrifice for the country.

When the atomic bomb exploded three years ago, some inexplicable phenomena appeared near the nuclear explosion area, and they wanted to take advantage of this nuclear explosion to enter the nuclear explosion area and try to find out the mystery of the unexplained phenomenon. This operation is more secretive than the nuclear explosion of a hydrogen bomb, and even fewer people know about it.

Advancing boringly in the desert, Xu Weiguo shuddered when he recalled yesterday's nuclear explosion. He will never forget the scene of the nuclear explosion at that time for the rest of his life. Although he didn't know that the time of his life was running out.

When the hydrogen bomb was launched from the plane, it slowly descended with a towed parachute and landed at an altitude of about 3,000 meters, and the hydrogen bomb exploded smoothly and exploded in the air like fireworks.

I saw a scorching white light in the air suddenly rise, and after a while, there were bursts of landslides and earth cracks, lightning and thunder in my ears, the earth was shaking heavily, and the white light in front of me gradually formed a huge fireball, just at this time the sun also rose to a certain height, looking from afar, like two suns hanging in the sky. It's just that the light of this artificial "sun" is more dazzling than that of the sun. Xu Weiguo knew that if he hadn't been wearing goggles, his eyes would have been blind. The fireball continued to expand, and the smoke and dust rolled up from the earth gradually converged into a large, strange mushroom cloud. Xu Weiguo was drenched in cold sweat, he thought to himself that he had fought bloodily on the Korean battlefield for three years, a sea of swords, a sea of bullets, and a rain of bullets, what kind of scene he should have seen, but this nuclear explosion made him sweat coldly, and as long as he threw one on the battlefield at that time, life within dozens of miles around him would disappear from the world. No wonder the central government tightened its teeth and gave a death order to tighten its belts and do a good job of this thing.

Sixteen team members wore masks and simple chemical protective suits, and they did not dare to expose any skin to the air. In this scorching desert, I really can't raise the interest to chant enthusiastic slogans with Xu Weiguo. At first, they drove the Hongqi car into the hinterland of the nuclear test area, but the terrain was so badly damaged that they had to abandon the car and get down on foot. They were shocked along the way.

During the nuclear explosion experiment, in order to test the power of the nuclear explosion, scientific researchers placed a lot of small animals near the nuclear explosion area, from chickens and ducks to goats, monkeys, kittens, dogs, rabbits and other small animals.

These small animals died hideously, and the appearance of charred flesh made people secretly frightened, but the more they went inside, the more miserable they became, Xu Weiguo saw more than once that they were carbonized small animals, as long as they touched it lightly, they clicked lightly and turned into ashes. But when they continued to walk inside, they could no longer see such things, and they probably evaporated. The sand on the ground turned into a layer of glassy pieces, and all kinds of steel frames melted into piles of molten iron, condensed into a ball, hideous and terrifying, like a huge monster was ** after the flesh and skin, and then the bones were broken, and the broken flesh and bones were mixed together. , I can't tell what the name is.

"We have to cross the central area and reach the Yadan landform area in the west, which was a change after the last "Miss Qiu" experiment, so we must hurry up and rush there, I hope we can complete the task this time, comrades, our mission is higher than the mountain, deeper than the sea, I wish our great leader a long life! Xu Weiguo shouted out a sentence with the characteristics of the times. This time, his high mood clearly affected everyone, and everyone raised their right hands and shouted, "May our great leader live a long life!" The pace of the crowd increased significantly, and according to the plan, in another six hours, they could reach their destination and start their two-day mission. Miss Qiu used to be the secret code name of the atomic bomb.

However, no one will be able to come back......

At 7 o'clock in the evening of the same day, Xu Weiguo used a communicator to send back the first encrypted message to the headquarters. After receiving instructions from headquarters, proceed as planned. The content is encrypted.

At 11:30 p.m. that night, a second message was sent back. After receiving positive responses and encouragement, Xu Weiguo continued to direct the team to act according to the plan.

Then, for two days after the interruption of contact, no matter how much the headquarters tried to pursue the news, there was no news. On the third day, a top-secret order was issued to search and rescue the missing scientific expedition team. In charge of the search and rescue operation was a very high-ranking general of the local military district.

The expedition team disappeared on the periphery of the nuclear explosion range, and the search and rescue personnel were puzzled as to why the expedition team chose the most dangerous path. Because they can choose several routes that are more reasonable and less dangerous. At the very least, it is possible to bypass the nuclear explosion area. The personnel involved in the search and rescue believed that the members of these expeditions must have been killed by nuclear radiation injuries and were completely wiped out. However, they could not find the remains of the members of the expedition in the area of the nuclear explosion.

The search area gradually expanded from the site of the nuclear explosion to the surrounding area, but no missing persons were found. In the last half a month, the bodies of scientific researchers were found one after another near a small river bay of the Peacock River, more than 300 miles away from the nuclear explosion site, the deceased's face was distorted, and his eyes were wide with anger, as if he had been greatly intimidated before his death. But no one knows who was able to quietly move so many bodies without being found.

The search found 16 bodies, including the leader of the team, Xu Weiguo. But there were seventeen members in the expedition. One member of the expedition is still missing.

The missing expedition member is named Qin Chuan, who is the deputy leader of this expedition team. Qin Chuan looks majestic, not angry and self-assured, and his prestige in the team is higher than that of Xu Weiguo. Usually taciturn, his biggest hobby is looking at the sky and not knowing what he is thinking. In the entire expedition team, Qin Chuan is knowledgeable, and this expedition team is led by Xu Weiguo on the surface, but the actual core is Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan's identity in the 042 organization is very important.

Qin Chuan's disappearance, according to the general logical thinking at that time, Qin Chuan was an enemy who fled after killing the members of the expedition, and defected after killing the team members; Otherwise, it was kidnapped by hostile forces from abroad, and because of the stalemate with the big brother Soviet Union at that time, maybe the accident of the expedition team was a good thing done by the KGBs of the Soviet Union. Due to the absolute secrecy of the mission performed for the expedition, the encounter of this expedition team is also unknown, and the search for Qin Chuan's life and death is still going on in secret. Moreover, on the corpses of the dead scientific researchers, some clues were gradually found, but the bright red steel medal on the outside of the file bag was "top secret", which was destined to keep this secret.

In the autumn of that year, an inconspicuous institution came into being in a low-key manner. In contrast to the great political turmoil in the country at the time, this is one of the very few places that has not been affected. The name of this institution was awkward, and people at the time did not call it by its name, but called it W Bureau in a low-key manner.

In every part of the world, there are some things that science cannot explain clearly at that time, and every country has set up institutions that deal with these things, either explicitly or implicitly, but they all exist, and the W Bureau is such an institution.

Bureau W was officially established in 1968, and its establishment replaced the status of the 042 agency, and the story of the 042 agency can only be told later. The first thing the Bureau did after its establishment was to investigate the events that had befallen the expedition, and later the Bureau organized several expeditions, all of which were unsuccessful, but this did not stop the determination of those who solved the mystery, and they waited for one opportunity after another......
