Double Agent Saga

In fact, Zhang Zhengdong could tell from this sentence that Du Ziyuan's mission in Wuhan must be extraordinary.It's just that the jobs of both parties are very special, so they can't ask casually.

At this time, a young man stood at the door of the meeting room and said, "Please come in, the heads of state, the meeting is about to begin."

Du Ziyuan, Zhang Zhengdong and others entered the conference room and sat down in the seats designated by the young people.

Du Ziyuan looked at the people attending the meeting and knew that today's meeting was unusual.

The meeting was presided over by the Deputy Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee in charge of Public Prosecution and Law. On his left was the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and on his right was Li Yunlin, Commander of the Provincial Military Region.There is also the director of the Wuhan Public Security Bureau and Director Ge of the Domestic Security Department.Sitting opposite him were Zhang Zhengdong and Meng Wei.In addition, there are some people from the Wuhan Institute of Physics.

The deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee presided over the meeting very concisely, and said: "Actually, everyone already knows the main situation at present, so I won't say more. What to do, how to ensure the smooth completion of national key projects, mainly depends on those present here. Ladies and gentlemen, let's listen to Director Huang's introduction to the key project in front of us, so that everyone can have a little perceptual understanding. Director Huang." He looked to one side.

Sitting at the table was a young man wearing thick glasses and a blue Chinese tunic suit. He looked less than 40 years old and leaned forward with a peaceful smile on his face.

The deputy secretary smiled again and said: "Director Huang, please wait a moment. Let me introduce Director Huang to you first. Although Director Huang is young, he has very deep attainments in atomic physics. He graduated early Graduated from the Physics Department of Nanjing Central University with excellent academic performance. In 30, he went to study in the UK and received a doctorate from the University of Liverpool, where he worked as a professor. At that time, Director Huang was only in his early [-]s. In [-], Director Huang responded to the call of the motherland, gave up the generous treatment and good working conditions in the UK, and resolutely returned to China to participate in the construction of the motherland. In recent years, Director Huang has made many major contributions to the development of China's atomic energy industry The national key project we are talking about today is under the auspices of Director Huang. Director Huang, please introduce this project now."

Director Huang adjusted his glasses, looked at the first sentence of the person at the table, and attracted everyone's attention.

He said: "In the late World War II, the United States dropped two atomic weapons on Japan. Everyone must know that they are powerful. The reason why we are doing this project now is because the United States is now threatening us with this weapon!"

The meeting room suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at him attentively.

Director Huang continued: "What we usually call an atom is composed of a nucleus and electrons outside the nucleus. The nucleus is also composed of protons and neutrons. When the nucleus is bombarded by neutrons, it will split into two Smaller atomic nuclei release two to three neutrons at the same time. These neutrons go to bombard other atomic nuclei and cause new infinite fission. The chain reaction in this way is carried out in an instant, so it produces It produces huge energy. This is very large energy. The US atomic weapon was able to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, relying on this instantaneous energy.”

The people around the conference table were shocked by Director Huang's simple words, looked at each other and discussed in low voices.

Someone asked: "Director Huang, can we make this kind of weapon now?"

Director Huang shook his head, "Not yet. But we are working hard. Now Beijing is building an experimental nuclear reactor called 'Heavy Water Moderated Reactor'. This is the first step in our atomic energy career. Here, we are now manufacturing The thing called "neutron generating tube" is the core component of this reactor. As I said just now, the fission of atoms is started by the bombardment of neutrons. Then, the role of this "neutron generating tube" can be imagined gone."

The faces of the people at the table became more serious, and they kept nodding.

Du Ziyuan also heard the importance of this core component.He asked: "Director Huang, has this core component been manufactured now? Has it been successful?"

A scientist is a scientist.Director Huang smiled and said: "You are actually asking two questions. The first question, the core component has been manufactured and is currently undergoing final testing. The second question, whether it is successful or not, will have to wait until Install it in a reactor and try it out and you'll know."

Du Ziyuan immediately asked: "The last test you mentioned, how long will it take?"

Director Huang said: "Under normal circumstances, it will take about ten days. If you work harder, everything will be smoother, and it may be completed in seven days. I understand that you are actually concerned about safety issues during this period of time, right?" .”

Du Ziyuan nodded to him, "Yes, we are responsible for its safety during the ten days."

Director Huang looked at him quietly, his eyes through thick lenses were calm and motionless.He was silent for a moment before saying: "I have indeed heard that our work has received the attention of Taiwan's secret agents. What I want to say to everyone here is that I hope that the efforts of our comrades in the past two years will not be in vain! Please, everyone here .”

Du Ziyuan nodded vigorously to him and said nothing.He knew in his heart that there was no need to say more about the importance of this work.Another point is that this work is somehow related to his current mission, both for the development of China's atomic energy industry.But in his heart, there are very big doubts.

The meeting tonight was actually a briefing.Let everyone here understand the importance of this core component and understand that it is currently in a very dangerous stage.Relevant units are required to do a good job in safety and security.

After this meeting, it was a smaller meeting, and it was a more important meeting.

Attending the meeting were Du Ziyuan and Qin Donghai from the Central Adjustment Department, Zhang Zhengdong and Meng Wei from the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, Li Yunlin from the Provincial Military Region, and Director Ge from the Municipal Public Security Bureau.They were all sitting in a small conference room, looking at each other.

At this moment, Du Ziyuan had some doubts in his heart.He stared at Zhang Zhengdong and said softly: "Old Zhang, you have been in charge of this project in Wuhan before, right?"

Zhang Zhengdong also stared at him, nodded and said, "Yes."

Du Ziyuan said calmly: "I don't understand, how did the Taiwan side know? And they know it so accurately. They knew it just after the trial production here was over."

Zhang Zhengdong stared at him sternly, did not speak for a long time, and looked at Du Ziyuan.

Du Ziyuan's question seemed simple and ordinary, but to the intelligence personnel, it actually contained a deep and serious accusation: Is there a loophole in your secrecy work!

Zhang Zhengdong understood what he really asked, but he was not easy to answer, or even unwilling to answer.

At this time, Meng Wei, who was next to him, stretched out his head forward and said, "Director Du, our Director Zhang has also had this question before. We have also discussed and analyzed it in a small area."

Du Ziyuan turned to him, "Is there a result from the discussion?"

Meng Wei nodded to him, and said in a low voice, "We Director Zhang thinks it might have leaked from within us."

Du Ziyuan stared at him suspiciously, and said, "Maybe?"

Meng Wei nodded, "It can only be guesswork now. Director Zhang brought us out this time. To be honest, we strictly reviewed each of them to ensure the smooth completion of this task."

Du Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I hope we can successfully complete the task."

After that, people around the table began to discuss the next step.The first thing is to go to the Wuhan Institute of Physics tomorrow to observe the work site to see if there are any loopholes or other places that may be used by Taiwan's spies.During this discussion, Zhang Zhengdong never spoke, but occasionally stared at Du Ziyuan inadvertently, with a very serious expression on his face.

Du Ziyuan would naturally notice his expression and eyes.He vaguely understood that his identity was different from that of Li Yunlin and Chief Ge.Their job is to cooperate.As for himself, he clearly stepped into Zhang Zhengdong's forbidden area.

Anyone, anywhere, has a forbidden place, it's just a matter of severity.But in the intelligence system, stepping into someone else's forbidden area is a very serious matter.There is no denying that the intelligence systems of all countries in the world have sectarian views.

Du Ziyuan had to warn himself to be more cautious.

When the meeting ended, it was already past twelve o'clock at night.They shook hands and walked down the stairs.The entire Public Security Bureau building was very quiet, only the slight footsteps of these few people.

The guards standing at the door of the building watched them silently.

After leaving the door, Li Yunlin said: "Ziyuan, I can't sleep at night, why don't you accompany me to the house for a few cups of tea."

Du Ziyuan glanced at him and said casually, "Okay, I'll go have a cup of tea with you." Then, he shook hands with Zhang Zhengdong, Director Ge and others, and walked towards Li Yunlin's car.

Wuhan at night is very quiet, with few pedestrians and vehicles on the streets.This is completely different from the street night scene in Hong Kong.Li Yunlin's Big Jim sped across the street, its dazzling headlights illuminating the surrounding shops and fences.

Du Ziyuan glanced at Li Yunlin, and saw that he was closing his eyes, as if he was dozing off.He was very surprised why Li Yunlin was so late and still invited him to drink tea.

When the car arrived in front of Li Yunlin's small building, the lights were still on.When they walked into the living room, they saw Lin Wenxiu was still sitting on the sofa with a blanket covering her legs.She stood up on crutches to meet them.

Du Ziyuan held her arm silently and stared at her, "Wenxiu, it's so late, you haven't rested yet?"

Li Yunlin said from the side: "She is always like this, she won't sleep until I come back."

Lin Wenxiu looked at Du Ziyuan, smiled and said, "I'm used to it, I can't sleep anyway."

Li Yunlin said: "You all go to the small study, I'll get some tea, let's drink a little."
