Chapter 580 Successful Explosion Test
Guan Xuqing looked at Einstein with squinted eyes, and said with a smile, "I can promise you, but the exception is because in my eyes, it is just a large garbage dump, and I have long regarded it as no man's land."

Before the group left Pyongyang, Guan Xuqing said to Pu Yin: "Yin'er, I know that this project is very hard. If you can't support it, stop it. I am very satisfied with you."

Holding his father's hand, Pu Yin felt the warmth he had never had before, and said with a smile: "Ama, don't worry, I will definitely win glory for you."

Guan Xuqing wondered in his heart, who exactly does this kid look like with his stubborn temper? Could he be like me?
After this meeting, Einstein, Pu Yin and others returned non-stop to the atomic bomb research base in the northwest desert, and began to watch the final research on tackling key problems.At the same time, the Ministry of Finance urgently allocated 3 million yuan to the experimental base, and the Northwest Industrial Bureau did not dare to delay for a moment by using this fund, and immediately started to build electromagnetic separation facilities.With the will of the emperor himself, who dare not take it seriously.

three days!In just three days, the electromagnetic separation facility was built.This is mainly due to a flash of inspiration by the technicians, who refitted an electromagnetic unit abandoned by the Northwest Power Generation Company, which greatly accelerated the construction process.

All is ready except for the opportunity.Prior to this, Einstein and others had already completed the final theoretical research, and Rong and other facilities sought completeness, and after many experiments, they finally completed the entire plan.The next thing left is to carry out the nuclear explosion test.

On July 7, the 12rd Group Army of the Northwest Military Region received an emergency order. 3 officers and soldiers immediately assembled along the railway line from Lanzhou to Dunhuang. The railway line is completely protected.All major stations along the route are under martial law and under military control.

At 23:[-] that night, a special train secretly departed from the military station of Tongguan Nuclear Weapons Base, carrying the world's first nuclear bomb that was still in a scattered state, and slowly headed for the Lop Nur Nuclear Test Base near Dunhuang.

In the center of Lop Nur, at the explosion point about 16 kilometers away from the nuclear test base, a 185-meter-high iron tower stands quietly in the desert.In a temporary building near the iron tower, more than a dozen experts including Einstein are doing the final assembly and debugging of the nuclear explosive device, and a company of officers and soldiers are guarding them.

The experts conducted three consecutive tests on the explosives and the detonating device that detonated the nuclear bomb, showing that the detonation system was normal, although before this, they had already conducted hundreds of tests.

On July 7, the military equipment used to test the ability of the explosion to damage various weapons and equipment arrived at the predetermined location.At noon that day, the last batch of various test equipment that entered the expected blast kill zone was installed.In the afternoon, the last batch of animals for various tests was also in place.On the same day, the armored soldiers who were conducting a dragnet search nearby began to evacuate the explosion zone and imposed a tight blockade on the outside of the zone.

The nuclear device was sent to the top of the iron tower by a hoist. Einstein and Pu Yin also arrived at the same time, and started to lift the last artificial safety of the nuclear device. Originally, Einstein would not let Pu Yin climb the iron tower anyway, but Pu Yin insisted He said: "Mr. Einstein, for this atomic bomb, we have worked so hard for so many days and nights. If I don't let me finish the last program by myself, I will regret it for the rest of my life." Einstein had no choice but to agree to the request of this special student.

Seeing that all the green lights on the device were on, the two finally left and returned to the ground.

That night, all the personnel were evacuated from Lop Nur, and the members of the atomic bomb project team returned to the Tongguan base. They all gathered in a laboratory and closely monitored the situation there through radio communicators.Einstein's heart was overwhelming, and he couldn't calm down. Looking at the expressions of other people, he believed that he felt the same as himself.Everyone waited anxiously, praying secretly in their hearts.Einstein and others felt that the explosion should be successful, but they were afraid of special accidents. If it failed, such a long time of hard work and such a large amount of investment would be in vain. What face would Einstein have to see? What about the emperor?Among atomic bomb materials, high density is particularly important. The higher the density, the more it can withstand the external force of system disintegration. The longer the system collapses, the higher the efficiency of nuclear energy and the greater the material consumption.If the nuclear material expands rapidly during the nuclear reaction, it is likely to cause the termination of the nuclear reaction, resulting in the failure of the nuclear explosion.

For this reason, before the nuclear explosion, Einstein also specifically reminded the technicians to increase the burning rate of the explosives of nuclear materials, hoping to use the powerful thrust of the explosives to firmly combine the pieces of nuclear materials together.In order to increase the effect of neutrons, a neutron reflector is placed on the inner wall of the nuclear device.The entire device contains a total of 63 kilograms of uranium 235. After precise calculations, the experts calculated that it can produce a power of 1.5 to 2 tons after the explosion.

At 7:13 p.m. on July 10, a glaring white light suddenly appeared on the top of the iron tower. Immediately afterwards, the entire world of Lop Nur was filled with whiteness.After a while, the surrounding scenery gradually became clear. A rolling, rising, and expanding fireball appeared and rolled towards the sky. The smoke and dust rising from the ground also expanded and rose, very like a blooming flower. lotus flower.A thick column of smoke chased the fireball and climbed continuously. Whether it was the fireball, the column of smoke, or the smoke and dust rising from the ground, they were all tumbling and expanding crazily.After several minutes, a beautiful mushroom cloud finally formed.Cheers erupted in the entire laboratory. Einstein shook hands with his colleagues and murmured, "We succeeded, we finally succeeded!"

Upon receiving this news, Guan Xuqing was very happy and immediately summoned the imperial officials stationed in Pyongyang to the Ideological and Political Hall, and personally told everyone the news that the atomic bomb test was successful. In an instant, the audience shook. Guan Xuqing waved his hand to silence everyone, and then said : "The atomic bomb is the most powerful offensive weapon in the world. At present, this experiment has just been successful. It will take at least a month to make an atomic bomb that can be used on airborne, but at least in terms of military weapons, the empire can laugh at it." For several years, or even more than ten years, no one can surpass it during this period of time. So now I have decided to use troops against each other. Starting tomorrow, the Northeast Frontier Army and the 7th and 8th Army Corps of the Southwest Military Region will unite to form a new armed force. It is called the Sun Hunter Squadron, and it will launch an attack on the mainland as soon as it is assembled, and the Beiyang Fleet will continue to be responsible for the transportation of troops and the blockade of the coastal defense line. You work hard, the empire is in sight, and I am in sight!"

Early the next morning, Feng Xianghua organized a war meeting against Japan.

Xu Shichang first put forward his own combat ideas: "Currently the surrounding waters have been completely blocked by our navy's submarines and fleet, and there is no foreign aid at all. From the current point of view, the longer our blockade lasts, the weaker our war power will be. Since there are more than [-] million people, the food produced in their own country cannot meet their needs at all, and their fishermen cannot go to sea to fish. In this way, they will face a nationwide famine within a year at most. They used to It is impossible to obtain a large amount of food from southern North Korea. But encircling without fighting is no solution after all, so I think that as long as we blow up these food reserves, we can cause a nationwide famine in advance.”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Wu Peifu, Wu Peifu stood up and went to the front of the military map and continued: "The current food reserves can only meet the minimum consumption level for the whole year, and there are mainly seven food storage places, the Tokyo area There are two, located in Kawagoe and Urawa; one in Kyoto, one in Hiroshima, one in Kagawa, one in Fukuoka, and one in Sapporo. There are also 14 smaller storage areas. If we blow up these food storage areas , it can be guaranteed that within half a year, the famine will be entered in advance.”

Many people present felt that it made sense.

Minister of the Air Force Feng Ru said: "This idea is good. Tomorrow I will let the bombers of the Air Force bomb these places, and then continue to completely block the sea. If we don't send a single soldier, we can starve all the children to death. At that time, we will Only surrender without a fight."

But Zhao Bingjun shook his head and said to Feng Xianghua, "Marshal, I'm afraid this won't work."

Everyone was a little surprised, Feng Xianghua asked, "Why?"

"Our lurking agents reported that the ultimate solution to the food problem is to consciously 'eliminate' some people, of course mainly the elderly and people without labor ability, so that the annual food production can be achieved to maintain the most basic survival needs According to our statistical data, in order to achieve this goal, at least 2300 million to 2600 million people must be 'eliminated'. And there are about 1300 million old people and people who are unable to work, that is to say. It is necessary to 'eliminate' at least 1000 million people, and after analysis by the intelligence service, they believe that they will focus on 'elimination' on women and the physically weak in cities."

"People are really not individuals." Zhang Zuolin said angrily, "If we don't eliminate them now, our descendants will live under the threat of people forever. The emperor has said more than once that they are the eternal enemy of the empire. , but also to send troops as soon as possible, my old Zhang is willing to hug and fight the former enemy, and die without regret!"

Wu Peifu frowned, and said: "General Zhang has such a heart to serve the country, which is admirable, but for the sake of safety, a proper plan needs to be drawn up for this matter. Although the Kwantung Army and Navy in China are destroyed, there are still 300 million people in the country. It is impossible to take down a country easily. Blowing up the granary is indeed a way, but if you want to starve everyone to death with this life, you will have to wait for a year and a half, and the emperor The will is clearly stated, if we want to send troops soon, the most urgent thing is to calm down and think of the best strategy to destroy the enemy."
