Three hundred and thirtieth chapters: Prepare for a rainy day
Regarding Mr. Wu Dayou's rejection, Yang Zhen smiled and grabbed his hand, tied the Hetian jade carving with a red string and carefully tied a Chinese knot, put it into his hand and said: "Sir, don't refuse, this is
But the millions of troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance have a lot of thoughts towards their children.”
"Mr. Wu gave up the opportunity to reunite with his beloved wife, and did not stay with his wife when the child was born. He still worked sleeplessly in this remote mountain to do research. Now, with the efforts of Mr. Wu and all the gentlemen,
We are almost about to enter the door of nuclear energy utilization. Mr. Wu and all of you have made considerable contributions to our nation."
"Now that the child is about to be one month old, we gave him a longevity lock as a way to express our blessings to the child. But we are too poor to afford a matching gold chain. Even with all the allowances I have, I can't buy it.
When you get a gold chain, you can only tie it with a red string to show your love."
"However, red is also an auspicious color in China. Since ancient times, China has auspicious words to wish people a prosperous life. I also hope that my children will have a prosperous life in the future. Mr. Wu, please be sure to use this longevity lock
Accept it, it contains the best wishes for the child from all the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Alliance."
Half-forced to take over this extremely beautifully carved longevity lock, Wu Dayou said with some excitement: "Thank you, thank you, for fighting bloody battles on the front line, and remembering these trivial things. To be able to receive the care of so many people.
, dogs are really blessed.”
"In terms of contribution, you threw your heads and blood on the front line, fought with your flesh and blood against the invading troops who invaded our land and killed our people, and achieved such great results. Your contribution to our nation is even greater.
. We are doing research here, we have enough food and clothing, and there is no danger. Your praise is not worthy, it is not worthy."
In response to Wu Dayou's modesty, Yang Zhen just waved his hands and smiled, but said nothing more. Some words can become nonsense if they are said too much, and excessive enthusiasm will make people feel that they are too much. Especially for those who have high self-esteem.
Strong senior intellectuals should pay more attention to their speech. Failure to grasp the scale will be counterproductive. Therefore, Yang Zhen said nothing to Wu Dayou's humble words.
However, Yang Zhen did not stay too long in this secret base. After holding a small meeting with Wang Ganchang and other core researchers to encourage them, he declined the invitation to dine with these scientists and did not even eat.
I left here in one bite.
After leaving this secret cave, Yang Zhen sat on the jeep returning to the airport, closing his eyes and saying nothing. Xiong Dazhen next to him, however, was a little out of breath, and said incomprehensively: "No. 1,
I don’t know why you are so cautious. Mr. Wu and Mr. Wang have both guaranteed that there will be basically no problems, so why not start it now?”
"If this reactor is started one day earlier, we can also start enriching uranium one day earlier. We are always so cautious and dare not take big steps. Our burden is too heavy. Just one day's electricity consumption here is almost equivalent to
The consumption of the Linkou Power Plant and the second power plant we built by dismantling and reinstalling the Sunwu Power Plant is less than half of Harbin. The two power plants can barely run at full power."
"This does not take into account the funds invested in setting up the power transmission and transformation lines. If we had not discovered this large secret war preparation warehouse that the Japanese army had already built, it would not be used in the future, as well as the small railway built by the Japanese army.
Just to build such a secret base, the amount of money invested would be astronomical."
"There are also stationed here a guard unit of an organic regiment, a squadron of the Special Operations Command, plus two anti-aircraft artillery battalions, two anti-aircraft machine gun companies, and an air defense unit of a radar station. This does not include aviation. In this direction
Deployed strength of an air defense squadron."
"And I heard that after uranium enrichment begins, the requirements for power supply will be higher, and the power consumption will increase faster and faster. No. 1, would you like to see if you can appropriately speed up progress in some aspects?
Running a day earlier can reduce some of our pressure, especially yours.”
"The financial pressure of continuing like this is somewhat unbearable. No. 1, and you have repeatedly asked for stability. No matter what your intentions are, it will make people feel distrustful. Especially for those with high aspirations.
For proud scientists, this feeling can make them feel resentful."
"Besides, I am clear about Mr. Wu Dayou's level and ability. I have heard about Mr. Wang Ganchang's ability before. Since they all think that there is basically no problem, why do you want them to test it again? This is not
Is it unnecessary?"
Regarding Xiong Dazhen's question, Yang Zhen did not answer him immediately. Instead, he looked out the car window and looked at the night passing by from time to time. The sentries standing as straight as statues along the way, as well as the dense anti-aircraft artillery emplacements. After a long silence, he said
: "I once said that this thing is a Pandora's box hiding the devil."
"To put it bluntly, this thing is a sharp blade that can deter hostile forces. Once problems arise, it can also be a destructive double-edged sword for ourselves. If used well, it can benefit people, protect the country and the nation, and it will rise a little higher.
It can safeguard peace. But if it is not used properly or a major accident occurs, it will be our collective destruction."
"Both Mr. Wu Dayou and Mr. Wang Ganchang are national treasures in this country in our country. Once an abnormality occurs after the nuclear reactor is started, they will be the first to be harmed. At the same time, once a major problem occurs with this thing, the resulting
Nuclear radiation is enough to destroy the entire Linkou County, as well as nearby Diao Ling and Hailin."
"And what we have lost is not only a few national treasure-level scientists, but also an ecological disaster. If there is an abnormality in this nuclear reactor, or even explodes, the nuclear radiation produced is enough to destroy this mountain forest in decades or even
Within hundreds of years, humans will no longer be able to survive."
"You can be considered a semi-physicist. You know that the decay period of these radioactive elements, or the disappearance of leaked nuclear radiation, takes tens of thousands of years. Our place is bordered on three sides and does not have as much depth as the Americans.
When selecting a location for a nuclear research base, it must be as far away from the border and Japanese-occupied areas as possible."
"In addition to some inherent advantages, we chose Linkou. This was the most ideal place in the Northeast Base Area before the war. It is located deep in Zhangguangcai Ridge, far away from the borders and Japanese-occupied areas. But there is also a disadvantage here.
, that is, it is too close to Jiamusi and Mudanjiang.”
"Although the power of our nuclear reactor is not very high, once an accident occurs, it will and will be a disaster that cannot be prevented by manpower. How far can you guarantee that nuclear radiation will spread? I am afraid that even Wu Dayou and Wang Gan
Neither Chang nor the two experts can guarantee whether nuclear radiation will have any impact on Mudanjiang."
"Coupled with the impact of climate change, once an accident occurs in this reactor, the speed will be beyond our control. For the land left by our ancestors and for our future generations, I have no choice. No matter how great the pressure is,
, we must also strictly follow the laws of scientific development.”
"Slower, more steady. Although the economic pressure is greater, compared with this land and these national treasure-level scientists who are worth a thousand dollars, it is still cost-effective for us on the whole. And this cannot just be considered a single economy.
When it comes to accounting, we have to look at the overall situation. Once an accident occurs, our losses will be even greater, so this can be considered a precautionary measure."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at Xiong Dazhen who was driving the car himself and said: "Do you know why I insisted on you secretly placing enough to cover the entire cave at the entrance and exit of the cave and all the vents before the official opening of this place?
High explosives that blew them all up?”
Looking at Xiong Dazhen's somewhat pale expression, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "I just want to seal the cave in the shortest possible time in case of an accident to prevent too much harm. Although many things are obvious,
You know this is a bad move that you shouldn't make, but the situation forces you to make it."
"If we had the conditions in the United States, such equipment and talent, or even a stable environment like the United States, I would not be willing to do such a despicable thing. But we have nothing, not enough equipment, no
There are not enough researchers, but few people even understand what nuclear physics is."
"We lack corresponding treatment methods, and we also lack corresponding prevention methods. To build such a weapon of mass destruction on a blank basis, sometimes extreme measures may reduce a lot of unnecessary harm. In order to prevent accidents
After the incident, the area of harm was too large, so I was forced to come up with this solution."
"You must be prepared in your mind. After the reactor is put into operation, it must be closely monitored. The three decontamination trucks, five fire trucks, and an engineer battalion equipped at this base must maintain sufficient combat readiness on duty at all times and do a good job.
Be ready to go at any time.”
"The 500 tons of high-grade cement and 300 tons of explosives I have equipped you are not for you to build a house here by carving out mountains and ridges. If any accident occurs during operation, ignore the people inside and immediately clear the entrance of the cave.
Blow them all up. Then wrap the entire mountaintop with cement."
"If an accident happens here, the people working inside will have to be rescued. Because they have been exposed to too much nuclear radiation, they may not survive for a few days. Even if they can barely survive for a while, the pain they will suffer is unimaginable. So once there is
If an accident happens, don't hesitate to blow up the hole immediately."
"I didn't originally intend to let you know about this scientific research project. But you are a top student in the Physics Department of Tsinghua University with few bases, and you are also the equipment minister of the military region. I don't have that much time, nor that much energy to focus on this.
On one thing. So many things can only be presided over by you on the front line."
"Old Xiong, I know that you value feelings and loyalty. But you still have to pay attention to some issues. Don't be too rigid with the Northeast Bureau's Social Department. There are some necessary procedures that you and I can't change.
And that minister, no matter what, he saved your life in Jizhong, so you should have enough respect for him."
"There are only two of us today, and I can say something straightforward. I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever. In this world, including within ourselves, there has never been a shortage of those who look for trouble with a magnifying glass and go everywhere.
Hat man. It’s true that you have a bad temper, but you should change your bad temper.”
"Be calm. If you have any complaints, you can express them in front of me, but this is only between you and me. When other people are present, you should control your mouth. You should be very clear about the truth that trouble comes from your mouth.
Don't always think about following your teachers. Be prepared to wear this military uniform for the rest of your life. Your personality is not suitable for working in this place."
