Chapter 254 Nuclear Physics Engineering

As the end of the 19th century approached, the great powers seemed to be trying to put a perfect end to this century, so they all seemed very excited and made the whole world unstoppable.

Whether old-fashioned or new-born capitalist powers are busy expanding national interests and leaving footprints in more parts of the world.

For China, Wang Chenhao and his Beiyang government did not adopt any external expansion plans except to firmly control the existing overseas territory. Wang Chenhao's primary purpose is to maintain stability, because there is also an emperor in his name. As long as this emperor exists for a day, Wang Chenhao always feels uncomfortable and worried.

The two strong men who supported Guangxu, Weng Tonghe and Li Hongzao, the former was isolated from the center and served as the second minister in the Ministry of Education. They focused on national culture and education, and were mainly engaged in school construction in various places. They were basically inspected and could not contact Guangxu. Although Li Hongzao served as a senator of the Congress, he had been seriously ill at home and had passed away half a month ago.

Guangxu lost these two arms and seemed even more isolated and helpless. The members of the reformist party who had been valued by Guangxu, including Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Chan Sitong, Liu Guangdi, etc., who had been valued by Guangxu, had joined Wang Chenhao's work in various departments of the Beiyang government, immersed in the great joy of the country's various reforms, and had long forgotten Guangxu.

But this does not mean that Guangxu and the members of the royal family accepted their destiny. The members of the royal family and the children of the bannermen, led by Zaiying, were unwilling to lose their rights. They established a royal party and recruited people everywhere to abolish the constitutional monarchy and restore the emperor's rights.

As Wang Chenhao judged, China did not experience the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 defeat, did not cede land, did not pay huge compensation, and did not fall into the abyss of suffering of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, which made a considerable number of Chinese people support the imperial power, especially some Qing Dynasty robbery slave forces, who were in the same heart as their master and were hostile to Wang Chenhao and his Beiyang government.

Guangxu and Cixi seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, which led to Guangxu lifting the confinement order on Cixi. In this way, Cixi's activities were no longer limited to the Foxiang Pavilion, and she could even return to the Forbidden City and summon officials.

But a coup in Shuxu has caused Cixi's rear party to lose most of its power. The entire country is basically under Wang Chenhao's absolute control. Even if some people with ulterior motives are disobedient, they dare not resist in front of Wang Chenhao's powerful forces.

All actions of Guangxu and Cixi were under the close surveillance of the Homeland Security Bureau and the Central Intelligence Bureau. Any disturbances could not be hidden from the eyes of the two spy chiefs Li Guodong and Li Bing beside Wang Chenhao.

In the luxurious office of the General Manager's Office, Wang Chenhao lay on a chair and enjoyed the gentle massage of Linglong and Linglin's two girls, and seemed to fall asleep comfortably.

The phone rings, and the secretary on duty outside the door informed Director Li Guodong of the Ministry of Homeland Security for a visit.

Wang Chenhao patted the beautiful tun of Linglin and Linglang, and signaled the two girls to leave.

〖General〗The manager's office has a suite, and Linglin and Linglang's two daughters gave Wang Chenhao a glamorous look, and then reluctantly hid in the inner room.

A pair of little fairies who are discharged all the time!

Wang Chenhao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He is now increasingly unable to live without this pair of twin beauties who are dead.

While thinking, Li Bing had already come in.

After a procedural ceremony, Li Bing specifically reported to Wang Chenhao about the movements of Guangxu and Cixi.

"Sir. Recently, Cixi summoned some officials one after another, as if she wanted to regain power.

Guangxu seemed to have given up seizing power, and kept drinking. He selected fifty bannermen beauties from all over the country to enter the palace, singing and dancing all night every day, which was very happy."

Cixi's actions were as expected by Wang Chenhao, but Guangxu's actions surprised him a little.

"Guangxu did not want to make progress, and he squandered the imperial palace every day, squandered the national tax and treasury, and trampled on the national law. He pointed this into the newspaper and let the people re-know their emperor."

Li Bing immediately understood the intention of King Chenhao and quickly said yes.

Then, Wang Chenhao continued: "Guangxu seemed to have given up completely, so he ignored him and focused on surveillance at Cixi. This old woman is very cunning. I want to see how many old subordinates she can summon and how big a storm she can cause."

Li Bing took the order and continued: "The power that Cixi can rely on is not only the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, but also the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty have not been in a climate and have been eliminated. The Eight Banners of the Ancient Eight Banners have certain strength, but they are not afraid of it. However, there are quite a lot of Baoyi slaves in the bannermen, and there is a lot of power. But we still don't know how many of these Baoyi slaves are loyal to the Qing Dynasty. In addition, some civil organizations in Shandong and Henan, such as the Boxer Rebellion, the Red Lantern Sect, and the White Lotus Sect have been constantly disturbing the local foreign churches and Chinese churches recently. There is news that they have frequent contact with the royalists."

Wang Chenhao frowned. At this time, China had abolished all unequal treaties in China in addition to having territorial disputes with Tsarist Russia and Britain. At that time, it acquiesced to these civil organizations to make trouble just to increase negotiation chips. Now these civil organizations have completed their mission, and everything should return to normal.

But for their own purposes, these organizations now collude with the royalist party, so their qualities have changed.

Wang Chenhao weighed whether to ban these organizations for a long time. He originally planned to prevent the problems and kill these organizations in the cradle before they were on the road of treason. But he thought that once the royal party rebelled, Wang Chenhao could justify the destruction of Guangxu and end the Qing Dynasty's life.

After weighing the trade-offs, Wang Chenjie chose the latter.

"Corresponsible for monitoring them if there is direct evidence that they rebelled by Guangxu and the royalists..."

"clear!"

Wang Chenhao nodded, and Li Bing would be impressed without saying much.

The next day, the newspaper reported a lot about the Guangxu palace. According to the new constitution, the Congress launched an investigation into the Guangxu request for women from the people. It soon investigated a large number of local officials who offered women to Guangxu. The Supreme Court, the Supreme Procuratorate, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption filed prosecutions of more than a dozen local officials and asked Guangxu to explain.

Guangxu was quite depressed. It was illegal for an emperor to ask for a woman from the local area and he had to explain it to the Congress and the inspection and prosecution agency, which made Guangxu unacceptable.

In fact, Guangxu made dozens of women into the palace, but it was just a plan made with Cixi. Guangxu pretended to be happy and asked Wang Chenhao to relax his vigilance and then secretly prepared for major events. Now that the major events have not been completed, they have been furious, which made Guangxu feel urge to find Wang Chenhao to fight desperately.

Fortunately, Cixi was more far-reaching than Guangxu, and she had already expected that Wang Chenhao would make a big fuss with the media and the law. The women she summoned Guangxu to the palace were all women from the bannermen in front of the public prosecution agency, and all of these bannermen women claimed to be voluntary.

Seeing that he could not kill Guangxu at once, Wang Chenhao asked the Supreme Court to revoke the accusation against Guangxu. Although Guangxu escaped this disaster, people all over the world knew that Guangxu was a deserted emperor, which caused a major blow to Guangxu's reputation, disappointing some citizens who had a good impression of Guangxu.

On June 24, the China International Science Achievement Award Ceremony was grandly held in the Ganqing Palace of the Forbidden City, Beijing. Originally, this place was the place where the emperor paid homage to his ministers, but now the emperor has been emptied and has become an awards place. Hundreds of scientists, professors, scholars, officials and journalists from all over the world gathered here to attend the awards ceremony, making the awards ceremony look quite grand and international.

As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Wang Chenhao led a group of government officials to attend the award ceremony, which is enough to prove the importance of the Chinese government to science. Li Youyi and Luo Shir attended the meeting with Wang Chenhao. They all appeared as the first lady and became the most beautiful scenery at the award ceremony.

After the award ceremony, Wang Chenhao met with the winners of the Treasure Star Award one by one, praised them very much, highly praised their outstanding achievements in various fields, and then tactfully extended his intention to recruit them. He hoped that they could go to China to do research to benefit the whole world.

Previously, the Ministry of Education and Beiyang Technology have arranged for these Baoxing Award winners and other well-known experts, professors and scholars from all over the world to visit Beiyang Technology. All scientists were shocked by Beiyang Technology's huge software and hardware research system. No country or scientific research institution has ever been able to reach the huge scale of Beiyang Technology. The Beiyang Technology Building, which is as high as the witch floor, covers an area of ​​2.3 million square meters, a comprehensive science and technology library with 12 million books, and a villa, apartment, and a rest and entertainment venue for related supporting villas, apartments, and rest and entertainment venues are all first-class in the world. The high salary specifications are unique in the world. This shows that China's emphasis on science and technology and scientific and technological workers is not a superficial show.

All scientists, professors and scholars who have visited Beiyang Science and Technology have praised Beiyang Science and gave thumbs up to the Chinese government's science and technology policies.

These scientists who won the Baoxing Award have the right to be given priority to joining Beiyang Science and Technology, and what awaits them will be generous treatment from national academicians. For these scientists, the scientific research environment, policy environment and living environment of Beiyang Science and Technology are very superior, and there is no better place than Beiyang Science and Technology's work and living conditions. So a large number of scientists who have visited Beiyang Science and Technology on the spot have chosen to stay in Beiyang Science and Technology for work.

But some scientists who were not moved by fame and fortune politely rejected the invitation from Beiyang Technology Heavy Industry, and the representative of the French Madame Curie.

In France, Madame Curie was known as a great female scientist who was not moved by fame and fortune. The scientific research she conducted was not applied for by the French government, and it was maintained entirely by wages and living expenses. Therefore, her deeds have a strong influence in France and even the international community. Many scientists use Madame Curie as a yardstick to restrain themselves.

Since French physicist Henry Beckerel discovered that sodium has natural radiation in 1896, his discovery has become the Piao Astronomy in the history of nuclear physics technology development. Later, in 1898, Madame Curie discovered the radioactive element lock and discovered and confirmed that the nucleus of sodium element can spontaneously emit rays and energy, which has since knocked on the door to the nuclear physics era.

Of course, whether it is Henry, Madame Curie, or other scientists who have begun to study radioactive elements, they do not know that they are studying nuclear physics because no one has defined nuclear physics.

But Wang Chenhao knew the impact of nuclear physics on the future world. Wang Chenhao would not wait until the end of World War II to start developing atomic bombs. It is not worthwhile to spend billions of dollars at once like the United States, and no country's financial department has the huge economic strength of the United States as backed.

At the request of Wang Chenhao, Beiyang Technology Heavy Industry established the Nuclear Physics Engineering Laboratory in October 1898. It took 30 years to invest 200 million yuan in total to gradually complete the entire national nuclear physics engineering system and improve all the facilities and technologies for manufacturing nuclear weapons. Sharpening guns in the last battle is not Wang Chenhao's long-term style, but Wang Chenhao's strategic deployment for scientific development. Early project establishment and early research can save a considerable amount of unnecessary expenses for the country, and there is no need to rush to launch atomic bomb projects like the United States, and there is no security guarantee like a gambler.

Nuclear physics engineering is top secret, only Wang Chenhao and Xu Jianbin know, who is the highest chief officer of Beiyang Technology and the project manager in charge of nuclear physics engineering.

The first batch of scientists involved in nuclear physics engineering include British physicists Rutherford and W Remse, French Becquerel and A Derbyerne, Austro-Hungarian and Faryans. They all entered the atomic physics research after Rutherford discovered radioactive elements. Rutherford proposed the theory of atomic pin change after Wang Chenhao's guidance and prompts. He proposed that the mass of atomic nuclei is almost concentrated in the atomic nucleus, and found that the nucleus consists of neutrons and protons to make people deeply

The theory was laid the foundation for studying nuclear reactions. This theory was originally an hypothesis that Rutherford accidentally discovered in 1901 and proposed the following year, but Wang Chenhao gave him a reminder of atoms. After the electronic structure, Rutherford confirmed his theory two years in advance. Therefore, Rutherford became famous. In turn, he was very impressed by Wang Chenhao because Wang Chenhao did not compete for credit with him, which made Rutherford devote himself to working for Beiyang science and technology from then on and soon became the leader of nuclear physics engineering.

Although there were only five scientists in the first batch of nuclear physics engineering, the research progress was very fast. At this time, there was only one radiotin sodium ore, which was the Domusk sodium ore near Austria, located in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The sodium ore was asphalt sodium ore. The output of this sodium ore was not very high and only supplied scientific research from various countries. After the sodium ore radiation was confirmed, a large number of scientists from various countries purchased sodium ore and returned to research, causing the price of sodium ore soaring, to US$55 per ton. Not only is the low content, it is still in short supply.

Wang Chenhao knew that there were not many sodium ores in the world, and there were only more than 3 million tons of low-cost sodium ores. Moreover, China is a sodium-poor country. In order to ensure that China's future atomic physics innovation and development and future national defense security are necessary, Wang Chenhao started the nuclear physics project, and Liye secretly launched the national nuclear raw material reserve project and hoarded nuclear raw materials on a large scale.

〖China has hoarded nuclear raw materials on a large scale, so it is naturally impossible for China to purchase their low-content sodium ore from the Austro-Hungarian Empire at high prices. Wang Chenhao turned his attention to Australia, because sodium ore was discovered in the northwest of Australia at the end of 1898. The discovery of the sodium ore was Bella, a British explorer who traveled to Australia. Bella did not want to stay in the deserted Australia for a long time, nor did he know that the sodium ore he discovered was just the tip of the iceberg, and there were huge sodium ore veins around it.

Wang Chenhao knew that Australia's sodium ore reserves were the world's largest, up to more than one million tons, which was enough for China's future military and civilian development and innovation. So Wang Chenhao ordered the Chinese Consulate in Australia to negotiate with Bella, investing US$1,000 to buy the sodium ore in Bella, and then huān 30,000 US dollars to purchase the ore mining rights of the entire Els Mountain and more than 300 kilometers. In this way, the world's largest Els Mountain sodium ore fell into the hands of China. Three months later, the Els Lu Tian sodium ore entered the mining process and continuously transported the mined sodium ore to China.

Due to the radiation of sodium ore, Wang Chenhao set up a sodium ore reserve center on the inner side of the Bohai Bay of Liaodong Peninsula. The reserve point is located on Zhudao outside Jinzhou Bay and on two uninhabited islands of Huping Island. Although the island is not large, the area of ​​the sea area less than half a meter deep is more than 800 square kilometers. A cement isolation wall is built around it and the transported sodium ore is filled in it.

Nuclear physics engineering and nuclear raw material reserve engineering were progressing smoothly, but Madame Curie refused to work in Beiyang Science and Technology, which caused a small episode on Wang Chenhao's overall strategic issue.

Wang Chenhao knew that Madame Curie would extract 0.1 grams of radium from eight tons of sodium ore in a few years, which was a result that Wang Chenhao didn't want to see. It was not that Wang Chenhao was thinking that Madame Curie first extracted pure radium. What Wang Chenhao was worried about was that Madame Curie was too generous and si-free, so that after purifying the clamp elements, she did not apply for a patent, but contributed it to the scientific community all over the world.

Of course, Wang Chenhao also appreciates Madame Curie's character. She is really a person who does not engage in scientific research in pursuit of money.

What Wang Chenhao is really worried about is Madame Curie's radium purification technology, because her purification lock technology is a common purification method for losing some radioactive substances in the future. Because Madame Curie's great master has no longer been subject to patent restrictions on the research of radioactive elements, Yada has promoted the research process in the direction of nuclear physics.

Obviously, Wang Chenhao does not want other countries to make progress in nuclear physics technology. He hopes to use all means to hinder the nuclear physics process of other countries. Madame Curie's radium purification technology is one of the key points.

Wang Chenhao did not understand lock purification technology. Rutherford and other scientists in the nuclear physics engineering laboratory did not receive any guidance from Wang Chenhao in this regard, so they could not achieve the skills of Madame Curie. After all, Madame Curie discovered the hexagram in a few months. It can be said that no one in this regard was about to surpass Madame Curie. Wang Chenhao could not guarantee that his subordinates would complete the plan to purify radium first, so he could not take the risk of letting Madame Curie return to China. He had to find a way to keep Madame Curie.

Well, Wang Chenhao decided again that he would be shameless...
