When he heard Da Da say that he had developed a mercury-red bomb, Xu Yun's expression was as follows:
O.o?
Are you kidding me?
This tmd is a legendary weapon...
Later, he immediately found Lu Guangda, Lao Guo and other senior figures who were qualified to have access to top secrets and conducted a secret discussion. The final result was...
Naturally, the derivation is correct, and the operating angle can indeed create a mercury-red bomb.
True dreams come true.
So they immediately contacted the capital, and the 101 heavy water reactor located in the capital provided secret assistance.
Speaking of the 101 heavy water reactor, this is also a very remarkable nuclear project in China.
Mentioned earlier.
The so-called heavy water refers to a compound composed of two deuterium atoms and one standard oxygen atom, also called deuterium oxide, with a molecular formula of D2O and a relative molecular mass of 20.0275.
It is about 11% higher than the relative molecular mass of water, 18.0153, so it is called heavy water.
The advantage of heavy water in absorbing neutrons less allows heavy water reactors to use natural uranium as nuclear fuel instead of enriched uranium fuel.
seven years ago.
After detailed discussions, the capital made a strategic decision that China should develop its nuclear industry, and decided to formally accept Mao Xiong's assistance on China's research on the peaceful use of atomic energy.
April 27 of the same year.
The capital sent a delegation of Liu Bosheng, Qian Bingqiong, and Zhao Zhongyao to sign the "Agreement on the Utilization of Atomic Energy for National Economic Development" with Mao Xiong.
under such circumstances.
Six years ago, on May 26, the construction of "One Pile and One Equipment" was officially launched in the FS District of the capital.
Three years ago, on June 10, the cyclotron was debugged and completed;
On June 13 of the same year, the heavy water reactor reached criticality for the first time.
It was precisely because of the rabbits' actions of building a heavy water reactor that the other side of the sea mistakenly thought that the rabbits were building a plutonium bomb, which attracted the attention of the other side of the sea to a certain extent.
According to files declassified by later generations, the Chinese allusion "Black under the lamp" was also cited across the sea at that time, believing that it was entirely possible for the rabbits to develop nuclear weapons in the capital, which received the most attention but was theoretically impossible...
By the way.
The proposer of this imaginative plan later became really imaginative...
"At that time, Comrade Huang Shengnian, who was responsible for the heavy water reactor, secretly rushed to our base and conducted a more detailed experimental discussion with us."
Mentioning the previous verification experiment process, Da's expression was also a little excited:
"Later, Comrade Qian Bingqiong personally went to the 101 heavy water reactor with Comrade Huang Shengnian and conducted a round of secret experiments according to our plan."
"They used a mixed solution of sodium sulfide and caustic soda as the leaching agent. The electrolytic integral of the sodium thiantimonite solution was divided into diaphragm electrolyte and non-diaphragm electrolyte. They refined the antimony that met the conditions through an alkaline wet method."
"Then it goes through volatilization and smelting in a vortex furnace, beep beep beep, beep beep beep, etc., and finally produces special mercury antimony oxide that meets the requirements."
"Finally, through the introduction effect of metallic cesium, the test report in your hand was obtained."
"I see......"
Wang Haoran nodded slightly, and then suddenly thought of something:
"Comrade Yu Min, if I follow your thinking...can the standard nuclear bomb we are planning to explode this year also be changed to mercury antimony oxide as the neutron source?"
Swish——
Hear this.
Many experts in the audience suddenly brightened up.
yes.
If mercury antimony oxide can serve as a miniature neutron source, then can a standard-sized nuclear bomb theoretically be used as well?
But to everyone's regret, Yu Min quickly shook his head:
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid that can't be done."
Wang Haoran heard this and cast a puzzled look at him:
"Why?"
Yu Min helplessly spread his hands and explained:
"Because time is limited, the conditions are really not sufficient."
"Mercury antimony oxide is a kind of 'black technology' in the words of consultant Xu. Neither the production equipment nor the theoretical framework is far from up to standard."
"The mercurochrome bomb I designed is just to produce a miniature neutron bomb to catch up with the nuclear explosion schedule. It is not a standard small-volume, high-yield weapon."
"Of course, the research prospects of mercury antimony oxide itself are still very broad. At least according to the current material properties, it should be a very valuable national defense material."
As soon as Da Da finished speaking, Xu Yun nodded in agreement.
really.
Although this thing invented by Da Da is also called a mercurochrome bomb, it is still quite different from the stuffed bear version rumored in later generations.
Later generations' claims about the woolly bear version were very bluffing. It was said that it was only the size of a fist and could emit thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of power.
To know.
The little boy is only 15,000 tons of TNT, and the width of the little boy is a full 71 centimeters and the length is up to three meters.
Although one is said to be nuclear fusion and the other is nuclear fission, the gap is still scary - because although the hydrogen bomb is powerful, it also requires a lot of hardware structures to support it, and it is difficult to reduce the size to the size of a fist.
But the mercury-red bomb created by Da Da is different.
It is a case where the size is reduced but the power is also reduced. The core purpose is to solve the problem that ordinary neutron sources cannot support micro neutron bombs. Strictly speaking, it is not that black technology.
In the words of later generations of games, she is a bit of a supermodel, but not so exaggerated as to have a self-aiming headlock.
But on the other hand.
As Yu Da said, the research value of mercury antimony oxide is still very important.
Prior to this, many people, including Wang Haoran, knew only that mercury antimony oxide was an expensive radioactive substance.
Although radioactive materials can theoretically be used in nuclear research, the problem is that there are many cheaper alternatives than mercury antimony oxide.
So for a long time, mercury antimony oxide could only be left in the corner to gather dust.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But it is different now.
As Da Da came up with the design plan, the value of mercury antimony oxide was also developed:
It is radioactive, which means it can be used for detection.
Better electrical conductivity and stability than beryllium, which means it can participate in the production of the electronics industry.
Excellent catalytic effect can be used in fields such as organic synthesis, gas treatment and petroleum processing...
If you combine the above features together, an excellent new direction will appear:
Aerospace.
That's right.
Aerospace.
In the later generations when Xu Yun traveled through time, although there was no public case of nuclear bomb manufacturing, mercury antimony oxide itself was a very important national defense material, and its core application was rocket launch.
Therefore, the words used by those in China who claim to have goods on their hands are basically "made from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, the second ton is half price, dear".
In other words.
Even if further research on mercury antimony oxide on nuclear bombs encounters jamming in the future, it can be simultaneously transferred to the aerospace field.
After all, don't forget...
The space gravitational wave detector envisioned by Yang Zhenning is a standard aerospace project.
Of course.
The "cost" of replacing this prospect is also obvious, that is, the black technology of the furry bear version is basically unlikely to appear - but from the perspective of future generations, is this still a big deal?
In future generations, let alone mercurochrome bombs, neutron bombs and even hydrogen bombs have never been used in actual combat.
As of 2023, only a few acquaintances have witnessed the power of the atomic bomb with their own eyes.
Therefore, compared with actual combat capabilities, conceptual deterrence...that is, proving that one has mastered this technology is obviously more important than the former.
"...the conditions are not enough."
Wang Haoran subconsciously touched his chin and quickly understood what Yu Min meant:
"This is indeed a problem. Our current industrial level is still insufficient. It is indeed difficult to produce a standard version of mercury antimony oxide in a short time."
"But I think we can submit this project jointly and file it as a memorandum-type issue."
"When we successfully explode the atomic bomb, some of the manpower will be able to study the miniaturization of the hydrogen bomb, and the other part will study the application of mercury antimony oxide in nuclear weapons."
"Comrade Yu Min, what do you think?"
"This arrangement is very reasonable."
Yu Min nodded quickly, but soon changed the subject:
"but......"
Wang Haoran glanced at him:
"But what?"
Yu Min scratched his hair naively, with a shy smile on his face:
"But Comrade Haoran, the technology of hydrogen bomb miniaturization... our team has made a breakthrough three days ago."
Wang Haoran stood stunned on the spot for a moment:
"?!"
The entire conference room could also hear the drop of a pin.
After a long while, Wang Haoran finally came back to his senses with surprise:
"Comrade Yu Min, what did you say? Have you solved the problem of miniaturization of the hydrogen bomb?!"
Yu Da once again showed a harmless smile.
Wang Haoran felt a little numb.
To know.
The miniaturization of hydrogen bombs and the micro neutron bombs mentioned above are not the same concept. Micro neutron bombs belong to the category of "proportional reduction in volume and power", while the miniaturization of hydrogen bombs refers to the reduction in volume and power without change - this logic was previously expressed in terms of body weight.
The example of height has been explained once.
From a war perspective.
After the successful test explosion of nuclear weapons, it can only be regarded as the first step. The actual combat methods are relatively limited - because it is too large.
To reach a certain yield, unminiaturized nuclear weapons must be transported overhead and thrown by heavy bombers (refer to Neon), or heavy rockets can be launched from large fixed launch sites (refer to Asan). Not only are the operations cumbersome, they can also be easily intercepted.
The reason why bombs were successfully dropped across the sea back then was largely due to the fact that Neon's interception technology was very immature.
But things will be different after the miniaturization of nuclear weapons. Strategic bombers can launch them 1,000 kilometers away from enemy airspace, and they can also perform parachute airdrops. All kinds of strange postures can be unlocked for you.
To put it bluntly.
If China, which has not completed the miniaturization of its nuclear weapons, really starts to fight against the mainland across the sea, the possibility of dropping nuclear weapons on the mainland across the sea is actually very low.
If a war really breaks out, all the rabbits can do is pull a supporter from nearby - you dare to hit me? If you dare to hit me, I will throw the atomic bomb to the neon stick, and everyone will finish the ball together!
But things will be different after nuclear weapons are miniaturized.
No matter where the enemy comes from on the planet, rabbits have a way of threatening their homeland.
You can put it this way.
Only by completing the miniaturization of nuclear weapons can China truly have the confidence to straighten its back.
So now that I heard that DaDa has solved the problem of hydrogen bomb miniaturization, how can Wang Haoran not be excited?
Actually.
Wang Haoran was not the only one who lost his composure at this moment, many other experts also had surprises on their faces.
For example, Feng Ji, who was previously responsible for the development of the polonium protective layer, couldn't help raising his hand and asked Min:
"Greater than, are you telling the truth? You should know what miniaturization means."
Seeing Feng Ji's serious tone, Daubian also put away his previous shyness and said with the same solemnity:
"Director Feng, so many comrades are here today, I don't dare to fool you."
"After solving the problem of the neutron source of the miniature neutron bomb, I devoted all my energy to the research on the miniaturization of the hydrogen bomb. Although the time was tight, I was able to live up to my mission in the end."
"Comrade Lu Guangda, the factory director, Comrade Qian Bingqiong and consultant Xu can all testify for me on this point. As for the theoretical basis of miniaturization, it is beep beep..." (I suddenly discovered that the beep beep method is really useful.
,Actually, I don’t know why, laugh...)
Seeing Da Da say another silent word, Xu Yun was already a little surprised.
Compared to mercurochrome bombs, Xu Yun was a little more mentally prepared for Yu Da's success in miniaturizing the hydrogen bomb.
Mentioned earlier.
One of the purposes of today's reorganization meeting is to incorporate some comrades who have previously completed theoretical derivation into the application production team to provide consultant-like functions.
In fact, these comrades also had their own tasks during the window period in the past, and the one they were responsible for most was the theoretical research on the miniaturization of hydrogen bombs.
Although it sounds a bit ridiculous to figure out the principle of hydrogen bomb miniaturization in three months, the miniaturization aspect of the original history is indeed very unreliable:
He joined the light-nuclear team for hydrogen bomb development a year ago. However, due to the priority issue of the atomic bomb, the light-nuclear team did not officially start work until three years later.
Then it took Daoda 11 months to solve the problem of miniaturization of the hydrogen bomb, and the remaining more than a year was spent on the production of hydrogen bombs...
That's right.
The earliest hydrogen bombs tested by rabbits were miniaturized.
The first hydrogen bomb across the sea was 6 meters high, 1.8 meters in diameter, and weighed 65 tons. It actually had little practical value.
Mao Xiong's hydrogen bomb is better in miniaturization, but its yield is only 400,000 tons.
The hydrogen bomb that the Rabbits tested had a yield of 3 million tons and could be taken away by an airplane, which shows how well it can hang on the wall...
To know.
In the original history, there was no one to guide him in the general direction, and the J501 computer's computing power and number of uses per day were also limited - and this thing is in Shanghai, and many times the encryption and decryption time of telegram transmission is longer than the calculation time.
But it's different now.
Thanks to Xu Yun's appearance, the Computer Institute transported two computers to the 221 base, and one of them was specially given to the Greater Group for use at Xu Yun's suggestion.
This way.
With the support of Xu Yun's future vision in the general direction, a computer that does not need to spend time on encryption and decryption and can be used 24 hours a day, plus a brain larger than extraordinary...
A miracle related to the miniaturization of the hydrogen bomb was born.
