Chapter 284: How Can This Metal Explode?
Zhu Zhongliang sat in the carriage and looked at both sides of the road a little, observing the facilities and scenery of this garden.
They are all very typical Jiangnan garden styles, but they are also too typical, and I always feel that I have seen them somewhere.
And this garden is obviously newly built, and it is obviously impossible for me to really come here.
It is obvious that this garden is not specially designed and built, and most of it is an "assembly line product".
So Zhu Zhongliang said to Zhu Jingyuan beside him:
"I heard your father say that you want to build a garden for vacation and retirement in the east of Mozhou, it can't be this, right?
"You are the richest prince of Daming, the big owner of Daming Airlines, it is impossible to build such a garden, right?"
Zhu Jingyuan almost didn't keep up with Zhu Zhongliang's train of thought, and immediately smiled and waved his hand and said:
"This is a place built by Mengxian County itself, used to receive the royal family and court officials, which is equivalent to a special pavilion.
"The resort area I want to build is in the big lake of Mozhou, not in the city of Mengxian County, and now there is not a single word."
Zhu Zhongliang now understood:
"I said why is it so rough, it seems that it was rushed out, and there should not be many masters directly involved.
"So when will the garden you planned start to be repaired, and when will it be repaired?"
Zhu Jingyuan directly said his simple plan:
"When the roads and railways I plan are built to the Great Lakes region, the Governor's Office will clean up the local chieftains.
"After the topography and geology of the Great Lakes have been explored in detail, we can start planning.
"When the official start of construction of this resort area, it is estimated that it will take three or five years to ......"
Zhu Zhongliang listened to something other than that:
"I read that your letter said that the climate and environment are very good, and I think that if it is really suitable, I also want to go there to retire.
"So can you plan and build this garden as quickly as possible? I'd love to live in it. ”
Zhu Jingyuan asked the old man to be silent.
My original plan was to fix it before I retire, and I could fix it within 40 years.
I didn't even think about the situation of letting my grandfather and other elders go there to care for the elderly.
Zhu Zhongliang is sixty-seven years old this year, and even if the rest of his life is calculated, it is estimated that he will live for more than ten years.
If the eastern part of Mozhou was built according to his own vision, he would not have had the opportunity to use that resort.
If you plan according to the deadline that he can use, it will be very difficult, and it will not be possible to achieve it.
The point is that it is not safe......
So Zhu Jingyuan carefully considered the language and carefully persuaded Zhu Zhongliang:
"Grandpa...... The premise of vacation and retirement is not only to have a place to live, but more importantly, to ensure safety.
"There are so many wild people in the Great Lakes that it's hard to ensure safety without armed settlers continuing to clean up for a decade or two.
"If you want to find a ready-made place for retirement, you might as well go directly to Xintianfu.
"Ready-made palaces, ready-made palaces, surrounded by well-developed imperial estates, rich, peaceful, stable.
"The people living around, except for the immigrants of Daming Huangzhuang, are completely naturalized Yin people.
"They are all the people who trust the Ming royal family the most, and it is really comfortable and comfortable to live there."
Zhu Zhongliang thought about it for a moment, then nodded slowly and said:
"That's right...... It's just that what you want to do, I want to see and experience it first, what should I do about this......"
Zhu Jingyuan opened his mouth, a little unsure of how to pick up the stubble.
Zhu Jingyuan finally understood Zhu Zhongliang's mentality, he was just curious about the things he tossed out.
In other words, he desperately wants to know what the future world he will live in.
His own lifespan was limited, and he certainly couldn't experience first-hand what life was like in the world when his grandson was old.
So he thought that from the inventions that appear now, he would simulate what the future world would look like.
So anything he creates, he wants to see it, to use it to complete the picture of the future world he imagines.
So Zhu Jingyuan was a little sad and helpless to explain:
"There are a lot of things I want to toss, but they basically don't include gardening, and I don't have the knowledge to do that.
"I don't have any ideas for repairing the garden, and the design and construction are probably handed over to the existing craftsmen.
"At most, it's just a little bit of a personalized suggestion on the room and attraction layout according to your own preferences."
Zhu Zhongliang glanced at Zhu Jingyuan a few times with a scrutinizing gaze, and seemed to wonder if this guy was telling the truth:
"That'...... I just want to see what your personal preferences are and what your personalized recommendations are......"
Zhu Jingyuan was directly speechless, do you old man know what privacy is......
However, the current relationship between the two sides seems to have little meaning under the pretext of privacy.
At the end of the day, it's about satisfying the old man's curiosity.
So after Zhu Jingyuan was speechless for a few seconds, he also had a little idea:
"Otherwise, I'll first build my own ideal garden in a relatively mature place to open up.
"As a planning validation for the future resort, it will also allow you to stay in it and experience it first.
"When the Great Lakes area of Mozhou is developed, I will go there and build a similar function myself."
Zhu Zhongliang nodded directly:
"This method is good, then do it, where are you going to choose this garden?"
Zhu Jingyuan shook his head and said:
"Isn't this idea coming out of Hong Kong, so I haven't thought of anything, you can help the staff officer."
Zhu Zhongliang shook his head directly and said:
"I'm not a staff officer, if I'm a staff officer, how can it be considered a garden designed by you?"
Zhu Jingyuan was blocked again, unable to speak.
After this old man retires, he is even more able to chat.
Just then, the car stopped.
The Bishui Garden was originally not big, so it came to the main hall of the garden in such a while.
The family got out of the car one after another and walked into the lobby in the garden.
Zhu Jingyuan was about to wait for everyone to sit down and start to formally introduce his family, but Zhu Zhongliang asked directly:
"Which of these two boys is uranium? Which is plutonium?
Zhu Jingyuan immediately casually introduced:
"The thinner ones are uranium, and the fatter ones are plutonium......"
Zhu Zhongliang took Judy Uranium from the handmaiden's hand, and rubbed the child's face with a dazzled smile:
"Let Grandpa Hug ......"
Empress Taishang also took Judy's plutonium and chatted with her two granddaughters-in-law with her children.
The family talked for a while, and Zhu Zhongliang also returned Judy Uranium to his nurse, and took Zhu Jingyuan into the small hall inside.
Everyone else understood that their grandparents and grandchildren were on business, so they didn't bother.
Zhu Zhongliang found a place to sit down by himself, and asked very casually and curiously:
"According to the plan, you are going to Yinzhou after the New Year, do you have any thoughts on the situation in Yinzhou?"
Zhu Jingyuan sat opposite Zhu Zhongliang and poured tea for the old man:
"There must be ideas that can be divided into two aspects, one is war, and the other is construction.
"In terms of war, I hope that in the two years that I am in charge of Yinzhou, I will completely end the war against bandits in Southern Yinzhou.
"But at the same time, let the Napoleonic Wars in Northern Yinzhou, as well as the civil war in Mexico, be maintained as much as possible.
"In terms of construction, first of all, the Yinzhou Canal project plan will be thoroughly determined, and the construction will officially start as soon as possible.
"The second is the improvement of the waterways of the Honey River and its main tributaries, and the waterway connection project between the Honey River and the Great Lakes region should also achieve initial results.
"Finally, and most importantly, the development plan of New Tianfu in the new era will also officially begin."
Zhu Zhongliang couldn't help but nod his head when he listened, most of his ideas were taken for granted and should be implemented.
When he heard the last item, Zhu Zhongliang continued to ask the details even more curiously:
"Do you have any specific thoughts on the development direction of the new Tianfu Huangzhuang in the new era?"
Zhu Jingyuan didn't know if this was a test or curiosity, but he did have an idea:
"There are two specific ideas.
"First, it is necessary to completely plan and absorb the local Yin people, and completely eliminate their self-ethnic cognition and independence.
"The plan can refer to the plan I am currently implementing in Mozhou, and eliminate the discrepancies through filtered assessment.
"The second is to establish a relatively complete industrial system within the mainland of South Yinzhou.
"In my opinion, Xintianfu is the royal backyard prepared by Emperor Shizu.
"Now in Xintianfu, the living materials are very abundant, but the industrial base is relatively backward.
"On the whole, it looks like a huge countryside, a peaceful and peaceful idyllic scene.
"Now and in the past, when the local industrialization was still relatively low, Xintianfu had an abundant supply of basic goods, which could make the lives of the local people seem relatively rich and stable.
"But with the development of science and technology, the living standards of large rural areas like Xintianfu may gradually fall behind.
"It may be exploited and plundered by the industrially developed natives, through the scissors gap between industry and agriculture, and made into a place of raw material production and commodity dumping.
"If this situation arises and continues, it will obviously affect the influence of the royal family in the New Heavenly Mansion.
"Weaken the royal control of the New Heavenly Mansion, and then weaken the royal control of the imperial court and the homeland.
"In the past, we did not develop industrial and mining industries in Xintianfu, probably because Xintianfu has not found large-scale coal mines.
"Now that the energy industry is gradually turning to fuel, I think we can and must start the industrialization of Xintianfu.
"In the new period of industrialization, if Xintianfu does not have enough industrial base, it will not be able to continue to be used as a backyard."
Zhu Zhongliang obviously understood the meaning of this backyard, and this time he nodded very seriously and said:
"That's right, Xintianfu must always maintain self-sufficiency, and the living standards and income levels of the people will maintain advantages over other feudal states and even the mainland, so as to continue to balance the local area for the royal family.
"If Xintianfu is completely dependent on the support of local industry in order to maintain a relatively modern life, then local industrial and commercial interest groups will have the opportunity to kidnap and influence the decisions of the imperial court and the royal family."
Zhu Jingyuan nodded as he listened, Xintianfu is not only a "retreat", but also one of the three major power cores of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the scale that maintains the balance of the emperor's rule.
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and Zhu Zhongliang asked a question that he was very curious about:
"That uranium and plutonium, these two metal things, how can they be detonated, Jingyuan, do you have any ideas?"
Zhu Jingyuan was obviously stunned when he heard this.
Zhu Zhongliang's words revealed too much news.
The old man is equivalent to saying that he knows that this metal can explode, but he doesn't know how to explode yet.
This is clearly to tell Zhu Jingyuan that his ancestors left a pamphlet.
At the same time, he also told Zhu Jingyuan bluntly that he knew that Zhu Jingyuan knew a lot of "special" knowledge.
This kind of question is not easy to answer, and Zhu Jingyuan does not dare to confess his identity.
God knows what Zhu Cihong, a senior, left for future generations.
God knows what they'll think of other possible traverser peers.
However, according to the various information he has received so far, Zhu Cihong probably did not leave a reminder about the traverser.
At the very least, he didn't point out the identity of the traverser.
At the same time, his father and grandfather obviously always treat themselves as relatives.
Perhaps in their minds, people like themselves and Emperor Zhu Cihong have a special "talent".
Since the current state is quite harmonious, Zhu Jingyuan is certainly not prepared to change anything.
Zhu Jingyuan thought about various situations in his heart, and finally frowned slightly and said:
"Of course, the idea is a little bit, but now there is no way to do research, no way to do testing, and the basic technology is too poor."
When Zhu Zhongliang heard this answer, he was obviously a little regretful.
Zhu Zhongliang could hear that this thing was indeed difficult.
However, Zhu Zhongliang also fully understands that if this kind of thing was not difficult, then the world would have been chaotic a long time ago.
Zhu Zhongliang pondered for a few seconds, and asked again without giving up:
"Is there still a chance for Grandpa to see it?"
This question stumped Zhu Jingyuan again, and there was really no way to answer this question.
Nuclear weapons are not stand-alone weapons, but a finished product of the atomic energy industry.
Just like engineering plastics are to petroleum refining and chemical systems.
Before there was no petrochemical and plastic synthesis industry in the world, we had to build a complete petrochemical industry system on the smallest scale from scratch, and then we could make plastic basins, plastic shells and the like.
The entry threshold for the atomic energy industry is very high.
With the industrial base of the United States during World War II, under the national system of the world war, most of the top talents of the entire Allied countries were gathered, and it took more than six years to build three rudimentary atomic bombs.
Britain itself did it from 39 to 45 years without results, and after the war, with the support of researchers who returned from participating in the Manhattan Project in the United States, they copied the American homework, and it took 52 years to finally succeed.
Moreover, the things that I "invented" before are basically that I know the principles and know a lot of details.
There are many things that I have directly used or touched with the real thing, or even disassembled myself.
But in the atomic bomb industry, I really only know the basic principles, and all the details are smeared.
The current industrial level of Daming is still in the era of World War I, but some industries that have been specially promoted by themselves have developed by leaps and bounds, reaching the era of World War II and even the post-war era.
On average, it may be similar to the era when World War I had just ended.
Even if it has its own push to accelerate with all its might, it is estimated that it will still take 20 years to catch up with the level of the earth's industry in the World War II era in the previous life.
Under such a basic environment, the time node of the atomic bomb will be evaluated in 20 years.
Zhu Jingyuan thought about it carefully, analyzed and hesitated for a while, and then said relatively conservatively:
"Grandpa, you have to take care of your ......"
Zhu Jingyuan didn't say it directly, but this way of expression also made Zhu Zhongliang basically understand what he meant.
Zhu Zhongliang sighed leisurely:
"Is there a way to speed up as much as possible? It's like an airplane engine, and now it's going to be pretty fast......"
Zhu Jingyuan instinctively shook his head, and at the same time sorted out his thoughts, trying to make Zhu Zhongliang understand where the difficulty was:
"If you compare the two projects directly, the difficulty of upgrading the aircraft engine may be like carving a statue.
"And the materials and tools are ready-made, and the craftsmen can work hard to wither them directly.
"But in the case of atomic weapons, it's like building a new battleship.
"And there are no ready-made shipyards, not even artillery factories, marine engineering plants, at most steel plants.
"Now we have to first build artillery factories, engine factories, shipyards, and then we can find ways to build battleships.
"Due to the complete lack of foundation, the construction and commissioning time of artillery factories and turbine factories are relatively uncontrollable.
"The time to build the battleship in the end is also uncontrollable."
Zhu Zhongliang understands where the difficulty is, and now there is no relevant industrial base:
"Then we will start preparing for the front-end industry now, and promote multiple aspects at the same time, how many years will it be possible to get it out at the earliest?"
Zhu Jingyuan said with a bitter face:
"There's no way to assess ......"
Zhu Zhongliang once again emphasized:
"You tell me a rough time, and I'll set a rough goal......
Zhu Jingyuan was helpless:
"That'...... Twenty years. ”
Zhu Zhongliang glared at the beads in his eyes:
"Can't it be shorter?"
Zhu Jingyuan didn't say it was difficult:
"I'll try to speed it up."
Zhu Zhongliang took a deep breath:
"Then I'll try to live another twenty years."
Zhu Jingyuan can't pick up this conversation, and he will be eighty-seven years old if he lives for another twenty years, which is definitely an advanced age in this era.
Zhu Zhongliang was silent for a few seconds, and then instinctively asked and urged:
"You arrange the direction as soon as possible, so that the relevant industrial base can start preparing in advance.
"Don't grind, don't wait until you need to find someone......"
Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously wanted to explain, it was not that he deliberately rubbed it, some things were done in advance, and they were not used at all.
However, looking at Zhu Zhongliang's mental state, this kind of words were not said in the end:
"Then start mining in advance and develop the refining unit in advance.
"After the tube computer is completed, the formal principle study begins.
"You see, I'm actually already doing the layout, and the tube computer is also the foundation of it."
When Zhu Zhongliang heard this, he nodded lightly with satisfaction, and then made two instructions:
"The mine and experimental site are located in the Tiannan Continent, and the refining equipment, research base, and production facilities are all located in Xintianfu."
Zhu Jingyuan didn't talk nonsense, and nodded directly:
"Okay, understood."
