Chapter 819: Mushroom clouds on the Gobi Desert

readx; Sitting on the train, Chen Jingyun looked at the sky outside through the glass window, thinking about the nuclear bomb explosion he was about to see, even if he had been a high-ranking power for decades, he had already cultivated his cultivation kung fu to the extreme, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there were too many things invested in this nuclear bomb, just the early secret research and development Chen Jingyun privately provided more than 50 million research and development funds, and later the political axe has invested countless resources, and the total investment over the years has reached more than 3 billion. In the 1942 budget allocation alone, the nuclear bomb project was spent as much as 800 million yuan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The money is specially spent from the treasury with a secret project, and such a huge expenditure naturally makes many people dissatisfied, especially when they don't even know what the money is for.

However, with Chen Jingyun personally pressing, even if the people below are dissatisfied, they will not dare to talk nonsense, and Chen Jingyun will not be able to tell them about the nuclear bomb project in a state of top secret in order to gain their understanding.

The train went all the way west along the Northwest Railway, but when it reached the edge of the desert, Chen Jingyun's presidential train entered a branch line of the Northwest Railway, and after walking along this deserted railway branch line for a long time, Chen Jingyun's presidential train stopped, and there was a small town in the Gobi Desert, and next to this town, there were several huge factories and several office buildings.

"There are more and more people in this Shalin Town!" Chen Jingyun is next to Chen Cai, Chen Cai is also a person who has a deep understanding of the nuclear bomb project in the two sessions of the Central Political Government, and he knows so much mainly because the security and confidentiality of the nuclear bomb project is the responsibility of the Investigation Bureau, including the security work of various nuclear bomb projects, including the security work of some important scientists, but although the Investigation Bureau is responsible for the security work, they are only responsible for the peripheral security work, and the security work inside the base is responsible for the security personnel of the nuclear bomb project itself. Therefore, Chen Cai knew that there was such a super project, but after more than ten years, Chen Cai also failed to know what this super project was for.

Even he sometimes wondered if Chen Jingyun was going to follow what those science fiction writers said, wanting to play ball and then attack the mainland directly, or building spaceships that could carry out star-level tracks, or simply developing some elixir or something, in short, he thought about all kinds of possible surnames, but he didn't expect that Chen Jingyun wanted to build a super bomb, a super bomb that could destroy the entire earth.

After all, Chen Cai, who didn't know much about nuclear physics, still couldn't understand that something could have such a big explosive power.

After arriving in Shalin Town, Wu Youxun and the others in the base were already waiting, and Wu Youxun hurriedly stepped forward: "President, you are here!" ā€

Chen Jingyun stretched out his hand to shake hands with Wu Youxun, revealing an extremely rare smile: "Professor Wu, you have been in good health recently!" ā€

Speaking of which, Wu Youxun is a few years younger than Chen Jingyun, Chen Jingyun was born in 1888, and by 1942 he was fifty-four years old. However, the Wu Youxun in front of him looks older than Chen Jingyun, he looks like he is already sixty or seventy years old, and his physical function is very bad, the reason why his body has become so bad is mainly because when he was conducting nuclear bomb research in the early years, people did not know much about the harm of nuclear radiation, and at the beginning, Chen Jingyun didn't know that these big scientists didn't know that nuclear radiation has great harm, and when he reacted, The early workers in China's nuclear bomb development were already more or less exposed to nuclear radiation, and after being reminded by Chen Jingyun, scientists paid attention to preventing nuclear radiation.

And Wu Youxun was also exposed to a certain amount of nuclear radiation at that time, although it did not kill him at that time, but it still caused serious damage to his physical functions, and this person is extremely important, he became the general person in charge of the entire nuclear bomb project in the late thirties, it can be said that his health problems are directly related to the key to the success of the nuclear bomb development, as for the other younger generation, it is still slightly inferior.

Wu Youxun has also met Chen Jingyun many times, and every time he returns to Nanjing, he usually goes to see Chen Jingyun to report on the progress of nuclear bomb research and development, and Chen Jingyun does not treat him as an ordinary subordinate based on his respect for scientific researchers, but intersects with him as an equal. Although Wu Youxun, a scientific researcher, is an idiot who is obsessed with science, it does not mean that he does not know Vanity Fair, and naturally knows that Chen Jingyun has given him great respect.

There are only a handful of people in China who can make Chen Jingyun's peers associate and give enough respect, and he Wu Youxun is one of them.

After the two gossiped a few words, Wu Youxun introduced Chen Jingyun to several other major scientists in the base, and Chen Jingyun also maintained a respectful attitude, shook hands cordially one after another, and then shushed the cold and asked for warmth. This kind of attitude is undoubtedly an extremely unexpected thing in the eyes of several military and political bigwigs who came with Chen Jingyun, even if Chen Yi, the chief of the General Staff, asks himself, it is impossible to get Chen Jingyun's respect.

And Chen Yi was even more interested in the things developed in this base at this time.

On the other hand, Wu Youxun also began to introduce Chen Jingyun to several other top science teachings in the current nuclear bomb project, that is, in addition to Chen Jingyun and Wu Youxun, the only science teachings who knew the entire nuclear bomb project.

There are only six people in China who can fully know about China's nuclear bomb project, and the first one is naturally Chen Jingyun himself, and except for Chen Jingyun, the other five people are all scientists involved in the nuclear bomb project, including Wu Youxun, the current head of China's nuclear bomb project, and four other scientists, including Shi Shiyuan, Yan Jici, Qian Sanqiang, and Qian Xuesen.

These names are famous even in later generations, Qian Xuesen doesn't need to say it, since Chen Jingyun planned to get nuclear bombs and missiles, he asked the Investigation Bureau to find him nationwide, and when he found him, he was just a ten-year-old child, and then Chen Jingyun specially approved the Ministry of Education to be responsible for Qian Xuesen's education, went to famous schools, and studied under famous teachers, and was sent by the Ministry of Education to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States in 1927. Carmen returned to China in 1935 as an assistant professor at Southeast University, and was soon promoted to professor. Genius is genius, in history he was able to achieve such great achievements without external help, and after Chen Jingyun's deliberate cultivation, he fully tapped his talent, although he is not responsible for the nuclear bomb part of the nuclear bomb project, but he is the main person in charge of the missile part of the nuclear bomb project.

At present, this person is second to none in the field of aviation in China.

Like Qian Xuesen, most of the other famous scientists were deliberately found by Chen Jingyun, and then arranged a bunch of famous teachers to teach.

In other industries, personal experience may cause different situations for everyone, but science is really a genius who can play, maybe there are many geniuses in the huge China who are better than Qian Xuesen and others, but the key is that Chen Jingyun doesn't know them, looking for a needle in a haystack to train nuclear physics experts and aviation experts across the country, it is better to directly find those scientists who are famous in history, simple and trouble-free.

In order to cultivate these scientific geniuses in Chen Jingyun's memory, Chen Jingyun personally instructed the Ministry of Education to set up a special office, from their childhood, they directly listened to the top professors in China, and even the basic courses of learning Chinese language, mathematics, and foreign languages were in charge of those well-known masters. Carmen.

The reason why they were sent abroad was not that in the 20s or 30s, foreign countries were more advanced in nuclear physics research or aerospace than China, but because they hoped that they would not be confined to China, but would look at the world and have the experience of exchanging and learning from top scientists from other countries.

Because of Chen Jingyun's attention, China's theoretical research in the field of nuclear physics and aerospace has always been at the forefront of the world, when foreign countries were only a few scientists with spontaneous interest in nuclear physics and aerospace research, Chen Jingyun has already built several large-scale laboratories with the strength of the country, and concentrated scientific elites to carry out research and development by experts in the field of nuclear physics and aerospace.

To put it bluntly, China's current level of nuclear physics is at the top of the world, the first to actually discover nuclear fission, the first to establish a chain nuclear fission reactor, but these achievements are top secret and not announced to the public, for example, Wu Youxun, the founder of China's nuclear physics, has been not well-known in the outside world.

But he presided over the construction of China's first nuclear fission reactor.

And those scientific geniuses who were sent to study abroad and returned to China were sent directly to the nuclear bomb project, and then came into contact with and studied and studied China's most cutting-edge nuclear physics research.

Although Chen Jingyun can invest heavily in investment in nuclear physics research and development and provide convenience throughout the country, these things are actually still the business of a few scientists, and they can only solve major problems after they have a flash of inspiration and then all kinds of whimsical ideas that outsiders cannot understand. And this is why Chen Jingyun attaches so much importance to these scientific geniuses, the reason is very simple - it really can't be without them.

Thanks to the efforts of these talented scientists, the unremitting efforts of many technical personnel, and the work of hundreds of thousands of personnel, China has become a leader in the field of nuclear bombs. In fact, in addition to the direct personnel in the entire nuclear bomb project, there are also hundreds of Chinese enterprises on the periphery.

For example, Fule Electric, which claims to be an enterprise that supports most of China's industry, can not only build jet aero engines, produce tanks and other high-tech important components, but also undertake the research and development and production of many equipment in the nuclear bomb project, after all, the nuclear bomb project is a huge and complex project, and too much equipment is needed to develop a nuclear bomb, and many of these equipment have not been available before, so they need to be redeveloped and produced, although there are a lot of nuclear physicists in the nuclear bomb project, It also has some small equipment factories and other scientists, but when it comes to the research and development and production of these specific equipment, it is still not as big as Fule Electric.

At the same time, in order to meet the huge amount of electric energy required for the production of nuclear bombs, the Northern Electric Power Company has even built a large number of thermal power stations and hydroelectric power stations for this purpose, because the technical difficulty used in the research and development of China's nuclear bomb is relatively small, but the energy consumption is very high gas diffusion method to refine enriched uranium, which requires a lot of electricity.
