Into Unscientific

 Three hours later.

 Inside the bunker.

“Director Lu, what did you say?”

Looking at Lu Guangda who had just been rinsed with a hand pump, Xu Yun's face was full of astonishment:

“You found a live chicken at the explosion site? The kind that clucked?”

 The fact that Xu Yun's nearly disfigured face showed such obvious surprise shows how shocking this news is.

Opposite him, Lu Guangda wiped the water from his hair with a towel and nodded affirmatively:

“Yes, and the living body was found in the cockpit of the P40 aircraft one hundred meters away from the center of the blast.”

 Xu Yun's pupils suddenly shrank.

The Lord of Maya, what did I hear?

 A chicken survived in the cabin a hundred meters away from the experimental nuclear bomb?

How can this be?

To know.

Although the ‘Miss Kun’ used in this experiment only has 50 grams of enriched uranium, which is several orders of magnitude smaller than conventional nuclear bombs that often weigh several kilograms, its power also depends on the situation.

 The area one hundred meters away from the center of the explosion. The impact encountered will obviously not be that small.

 It is true.

The chicken in the cockpit is protected by the 'shell' of the P40 aircraft. There may be a certain possibility of immunity from pure physical shock waves - for example, if the aircraft rolls over at a certain angle by chance, so on.

This situation can occasionally be seen in many earthquake disasters. Many survivors survive because of coincidental angles. The probability is not high but it is not particularly bizarre.

 But the problem is

The explosion of an experimental nuclear bomb produces not only physical shock waves, but also a large amount of nuclear radiation.

,

 Because at this distance, high-energy rays such as gamma rays will directly damage the internal tissues of animals, causing life activities to be unable to be maintained.

The specific principle is that ultra-high energy destroys the chemical bonds within organic polymers, causing protein mutations, damaging genetic genes, and causing cells to lose their ability to regenerate.

 The tissue loses its ability to metabolize and naturally becomes necrotic.

 In general.

  10,000 roentgens of radiation per hour is enough to kill a human body for one minute - the equivalent for chickens is even lower.

This kind of death usually takes no more than five minutes, but Lu Guangda's scattered time from counting people to setting off, arriving at the center of the explosion to search, and returning to the bunker. The total of these scattered times is at least close to two hours.

 This is obviously an unusual phenomenon.

Think of this.

Xu Yun couldn't help but raise his head and look at Lu Guangda, and asked him:

“Director Lu, where is the chicken?”

Hearing this, Lu Guangda pointed to the next door:

 “It’s in the observation room of the bunker.”

 Mentioned earlier.

The mission of this bunker is to observe and collect statistics on the various results of small-scale nuclear tests. Therefore, in addition to the command room and lounge, some special rooms are also prepared inside.

For example, there is a warehouse next to the command room, which contains food that can feed thirty people for a week.

 In addition, there is an emergency room for temporary treatment of radiation sickness, and an observation room to temporarily house nuclear test samples.

The observation room is located in the most remote location, and its wall thickness and radiation specifications are also the highest among all basements—unique among them.

 Subsequently under the leadership of Lao Guo.

Xu Yun was quickly pushed to the observation room wearing protective clothing.

This observation room is somewhat similar to a later museum or aquarium, that is, it is arranged with walls on three sides and floor-to-ceiling glass on the front. It is undoubtedly a generous move in such a remote area of ​​this era.

 At this moment.

There are no other animal remains inside this observation room, only a big rooster.

There is a chicken coop next to the big rooster, and there is a circle of feed scattered around the chicken coop.

The density of these feeds is very small and scattered several meters away. The rooster has to move a few steps every time he takes a few mouthfuls. This is obviously a deliberate move by Lu Guangda and others, in order to observe the rooster's vitality.

 After Xu Yun and Lu Guangda came to the edge of the glass.

The big rooster just raised his head and glanced at the two of them casually, and then stared at Xu Yun for a few seconds, his expression seemed to say:

 “Are you awesome, brother chicken?”

Xu Yun couldn't help but scratch his hair when he saw this:

 “Strange, why is this chicken staring at me like this?”

Lu Guangda on the side thought for a while and gave an explanation:

“Maybe you smell the same kind of roasted chicken?”

Xu Yun:

  “?!”

 And the other side.

The big rooster looked away at Xu Yun for a few seconds and continued to eat the feed as if no one else was watching.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

“Director Lu, this chicken is very energetic.”

Lu Guangda hummed, pointed to the left wing of the big rooster, and introduced:

“We found a horn tag that had been put on the chicken’s ankle. Based on the number on the horn tag, we quickly identified it as a reed chicken from Haidai Province.”

“As for the corner mark that may contain a certain amount of radioactivity, I won’t show it to you yet. Anyway, as long as you know its origin, that’s enough.”

“This chicken’s left wing was slightly injured during the rollover of the plane. Other than that, everything is normal. Its vitality is even better than that of Xinhanxia raised in many chicken farms.”

Xu Yun continued to observe the big **** for a while and nodded in agreement.

  Xin Han Xia.

Even though the name sounds a bit like a car brand, it is actually the earliest broiler breed bred.

 At this time, the broiler chickens raised in China are mainly New Hanxia chickens. In a few years, they will be crossed with Qingyuan Ma chickens and Shiqi chickens to breed Shiqi hybrid chickens.

Then Shiqi chickens will be derived from the New Langshan chicken, New Pudong chicken and New Yangzhou chicken varieties. The so-called Sanhuang chickens in later generations are the descendants of Shiqi chickens.

As for the introduction of white-feathered chickens, it will have to wait until ten years later. At this time, it is estimated that even Lu Guangda has not heard of this term.

 At present, from the appearance, the vitality of this chicken is indeed higher than that of chickens raised in many farms.

"correct."

Then Xu Yun suddenly thought of something and asked Lu Guangda:

“Director Lu, could this chicken survive because of a problem with our experimental nuclear ejection?”

Although the earlier pictures and ground vibrations proved that the experimental nuclear bomb exploded successfully, in the final analysis, those were only auxiliary evidence and could only prove that the experimental nuclear bomb had undergone nuclear fission. However, the utilization rate of fissile materials requires more precise data to be tested. For example, the nuclear charge of Little Boy is enriched uranium with an abundance of about 80% and weighs 60kg, but the final utilization rate is only 12%.

If the utilization rate of the experimental nuclear bomb is not high and it just stirs up the smoke and dust in the Gobi Desert to create a visual illusion, this is still possible.

However, Lu Guangda quickly shook his head, dispelling Xu Yun's speculation:

 “No problem, I’ll show you a few reports and you’ll know.”

“Xiao Chen, please give me the information.”

 Hearing what Lu Guangda said.

Lu Guangda's guard Chen Mingsheng said yes immediately and took a stack of reports from the table beside him.

Xu Yun took it and started reading it slowly.

“The optical pulse phase factor is 64.92, and the full time domain width conforms to the envelope function.”

 “Infrasound”

  “Flow Reynolds number 2.65”

 “Radioactivity remains.”

As he watched, Xu Yun frowned subconsciously.

 It is well known.

Science and technology these days are relatively limited, but some early detection technologies have already produced some results or corresponding methods.

For example, Xu Yun is reading the radioactive radiation detection report at this time.

Although this report does not include power frequency electric fields, particle intensity meters, aerosol measurements or large nuclear field imaging like later generations, some important parameters are still available.

 For example, light pulses.

It was originally mentioned in the principle of meteorological Doppler radar.

 The description of a pulse is usually described in the form of carrier frequency plus envelope.

 The envelope is the wave envelope shape of the pulse, and the carrier frequency is generally the center frequency of the pulse. At the same time, the change rate of the envelope with respect to time should be required to be much smaller than the carrier frequency.

 A pulse is described as E(t)=Ee(t)exp[i(ωpt+)], where Ee(t) represents the envelope, wp represents the carrier frequency, which is the phase factor, which determines the detailed shape of the pulse.

The light pulse will add a Chirp to it, which is what the industry calls chirp, which refers to the change of the carrier frequency with time in the time domain.

Chirp adds a complex amplitude to the envelope function. Through the calculation of this complex amplitude parameter, the envelope function can be restored, and then the light pulse situation when the nuclear bomb explodes can be deduced.

 Very simple and easy to understand.

The remaining sashimi waves and flow Reynolds numbers are also similar concepts, and the related calculation environment was completed by other comrades in the project team long before Xu Yun came.

Now Xu Yun can see at a glance that there is nothing wrong with these parameters.

 But because there was no problem, Xu Yun felt that he had encountered a big problem.

After all, no matter how you look at it, under this level of radiation, this chicken should definitely die.

 Even if it gets a little closer to the center of the explosion, it will melt completely.

Seeing Xu Yun's expression of thoughtfulness, Lu Guangda also sighed and continued to add:

“In addition, according to our search, all live bird samples at other locations away from the explosion center have also lost vital signs.”

“Several of the chickens and monkeys were more than 500 meters away from the center of the explosion. They were either placed in caves or simulated drivers in jeeps.”

“At the same time, we have also conducted preliminary tests on the body of the P40 fighter jet. The radiation dose inside the cockpit is comparable to that seen outside Hiroshima, so it is obviously not possible that the body structure has blocked nuclear radiation.”

 Xu Yun also nodded subconsciously.

  If the P40 fighter jet had anti-radiation black technology, then the rabbits of those days would have been able to click GG. How could they win in the end?

Xu Yun then returned the report to Lu Guangda, rubbed his chin a few times, and said:

“Since it is not an external factor, it can only be the cause of the chicken itself.”

“Director Lu, has the blood sample been taken from this chicken?”

 Lu Guangda nodded decisively:

“It has been taken, including blood routine and wing wound tissue sampling—now Lao Xu and the others are doing protein and other receptor analysis in the emergency room.”

The full name of Lao Xu mentioned by Lu Guangda is Xu Yongjin. He is one of the entourage of Base 221 and a biological expert.

His mission during this trip was to conduct the first analysis of bird samples after the nuclear explosion, so the organization also provided him with some testing equipment, which just came in handy now.

Then Xu Yun glanced at the big rooster that was looking for food, turned to Lu Guangda and said:

“Director Lu, is it convenient for Comrade Yongjin to watch over there? If so, take me over and take a look?”

 Lu Guangda nodded happily:

"did not ask."

As a result, before he finished speaking, a hurried figure appeared in the aisle not far away.

This man was also wearing thick protective clothing, but there was a big word "Xu" written clearly on his chest.

Seeing this situation, Lu Guangda happily stopped what he was doing:

"Okay, Xiao Xu, let's not go there - Lao Xu is coming by himself."

as expected.

After the visitor quickly walked to Xu Yun and Lu Guangda, a voice quickly came from under the mask:

“Director Lu, Consultant Xu, you are all here.”

 Xu Yongjin is one of the members of the base's biochemistry laboratory, a member of Liu Youcheng's team. Xu Yun has interacted with him several times in the past.

In addition, everyone had chatted with each other several times along the way, so he was not unfamiliar with Xu Yongjin's voice. Hearing this, he was immediately sure that this person was Xu Yongjin.

Then Lu Guangda briefly greeted Xu Yongjin and asked him:

“Lao Xu, how are the test results?”

Xu Yongjin took out a report from the pocket of his protective suit and handed it to Lu Guangda.

Lu Guangda took the document, placed it on top of the original test report, and read it.

 After a while.

Lu Guangda suddenly raised his head, and a ball of light burst out in his eyes:

“Lao Xu, the number of white blood cells in this chicken has not decreased? There is no swelling of the spiny cells and basal cells?”

Xu Yongjin nodded vigorously. Even through the mask, it was not difficult to see that his expression must be wonderful at this time:

"Yes, the base equipped me with a very advanced electron microscope in China this time. According to the electron microscope observation results, the vascular endothelium and hair follicle epithelial cells in this chicken have not undergone significant degeneration."

“At the same time, the formation of apoptotic cells and apoptotic bodies was not observed in the basal cell layer, there was no thrombus in the capillaries, and there was only a slight defect in the basement membrane.”

“Although it is impossible to observe in depth due to accuracy issues, I suspect that the cross-linking of the chicken’s DNA double helix will not have much impact.”

 Hear this.

 Xu Yun's pupils suddenly shrank.

As a PhD in biology, with the support of the knowledge system of later generations, his understanding of cells far exceeds that of anyone else in this era.

So after listening to Xu Yongjin’s narration, Xu Yun immediately made a judgment in his mind:

The base pairs in this chicken must not have been incorrectly synthesized, and the activities of superoxide dismutase and β-galactosidase must not have changed!

 Because the above two parameters are the basic factors of radiation sickness!

  That is, after nuclear radiation is injected into the human body, it first destroys the synthesis of base pairs, and then inactivates superoxide dismutase and β-galactosidase, and then causes so-called apoptosis, which ultimately affects the human body.

But

 How is this possible?

 Because as of September 29, 2023, there are no non-microorganisms on the earth that can maintain normal internal parameters under the irradiation of nuclear radiation!

  In other words.

 There must be something wrong with this chicken somewhere!
