The helicopter Zhang Yunfei was riding landed steadily on the tarmac of the base. As soon as the plane stopped, a colonel officer walked over quickly and opened the cabin door for Zhang Yunfei himself. Zhang Yunfei walked down steadily.
"Stand at attention! Salute!!!"
With a shout, all the officers and soldiers on this small helicopter airport gave Zhang Yunfei a military salute. Everyone's eyes were full of respect and excitement.
Zhang Yunfei's reputation and prestige are not only very high among the common people, but also among the army. Today, everyone can see Zhang Yunfei up close with their own eyes. Naturally, these officers and soldiers are very excited and respectful. "Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!"
Zhang Yunfei returned a military salute, and then said angrily: "Comrades, thank you for your hard work!"
Zhang Yunfei just took a general look at the surroundings. The conditions here are still relatively difficult. This is an uninhabited land and is not suitable for human habitation. However, for the sake of confidentiality and safety, the base was placed here.
Zhang Yunfei, accompanied by several military officers and the person in charge of the base, walked to the base not far away. According to the introduction of the staff around Tongguo, the colonel officer just now was the person in charge of the army here, and the person in charge of the base was named Zhong, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
¡°Commander, please come this way!¡± The person in charge of the base led Zhang Yunfei and others into a surface building, followed the passage, and went down to the ground dozens of meters deep.
Along the way, Zhang Yunfei visited several laboratories and shook hands with many excited researchers. The person in charge of the base kept reporting the entire situation to Zhang Yunfei.
Although Zhang Yunfei has been here personally. However, Zhang Yunfei had seen some information and documents about this base, and even some important documents were signed by Zhang Yunfei himself. However, he did not expect that after coming here to see it in person, Zhang Yunfei was secretly shocked. The situation here was worse than the documents. It is even better than what is reported in the data, and the scale is also very large.
The construction here. A lot of manpower and material resources were spent at that time. Zhang Yunfei still knew it, but he didn't expect that it had only been just over two years since the construction started. There has been progress on this scale.
The person in charge of the base felt confused when he saw Zhang Yunfei. Then he took the opportunity to report: "Chief, since Oppenheimer came a few months ago, many problems have been solved. Scientific research work is progressing very quickly."
Zhang Yunfei nodded, thinking to himself, Oppenheimer is indeed a great person, Ziji's business is really profitable, a few warships have been replaced by such an outstanding talent.
"Let's go! Let's go see Mr. Oppenheimer."
Originally, Oppenheimer was going to personally greet Zhang Yunfei. Although he was a Jew, Oppenheimer also knew that it was a gift of acquaintance.
After arriving here, Oppenheimer certainly knew how much Zhang Yunfei attached great importance to the atomic bomb. Not only did he invest a lot of manpower and material resources, he also assigned him a right-hand man. More importantly, when he asked for atomic bombs, the central government would do it every time. Satisfied one by one.
After working here for several months, Oppenheimer is now full of energy and energy, which is completely different from the state he was in when he first came to China. Oppenheimer would like to thank Zhang Yunfei in person for creating such a good thing for Ziji's scientific research. condition.
At the beginning, even in the United States, the United States paid far more attention to Ziji than this. Ziji had just arrived in China. Not only did Zhang Yunfei personally visit him, he also entrusted him with the important task of appointing Ziji as the chief scientist of this scientific research base.
Oppenheimer wanted to welcome Zhang Yunfei in person, but Zhang Yunfei was afraid of affecting Oppenheimer's scientific research work, so Zhang Yunfei still asked Oppenheimer to interrupt his scientific research work to welcome him.
When Zhang Yunfei saw Oppenheimer¡¯s work, Oppenheimer was wearing a white coat and explaining the work to a group of people in a spacious laboratory.
These people, including Chinese and blond and blue-eyed foreigners, surrounded Oppenheimer and were listening carefully to Oppenheimer's explanation.
Oppenheimer, who was explaining, saw Zhang Yunfei and his entourage approaching. He interrupted his explanation and walked over excitedly. Although Oppenheimer and Zhang Yunfei had only met once, Oppenheimer was deeply impressed by Zhang Yunfei. I have thought of Zhang Yunfei many times.
Walking up to Zhang Yunfei, Oppenheimer said excitedly: "Oh! Dear Chairman Zhang, it is my honor to see you again. I am really grateful to God."
Oppenheimer spoke a lot in English in one breath, and his gratitude was beyond words.
Zhang Yunfei naturally felt Oppenheimer's gratitude. When Oppenheimer finished speaking, Zhang Yunfei smiled and stretched out his hand without waiting for translation.
OppenheimerRuo Ruo was surprised and excitedly stretched out his hands to hold Zhang Yunfei's hand tightly. Zhang Yunfei smiled and said: "Mr. Oppenheimer, you are still used to coming here. If you have any requirements or difficulties, just tell me."
The staff at p¨¢ngbi¨¡n were slightly surprised to see Zhang Yunfei speak fluent English, and thought to themselves, Chairman Zhang is also proficient in English, it is really unexpected!
Most of these personnel are not Zhang Yunfei¡¯s entourage. Zhang Yunfei¡¯s entourage is very impressed by Zhang Yunfei¡¯s fluent English. Those who are familiar with Zhang Yunfei also know that Chairman Zhang can also speak fluent Japanese.
ruguo is Zhang Yunfei¡¯s old subordinate. Everyone also knows that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Chairman Zhang relied on his fluent Japanese to go deep behind enemy lines and killed many imps.
Zhang Yunfei and Oppenheimer communicated for a while. After a while, Oppenheimer talked about Ziji's current research work. When it came to Ziji's old line of work, Oppenheimer was eloquent and eloquent, while Zhang Yunfei was patient. Listen carefully.
Although Zhang Yunfei has a much more detailed understanding of atomic bombs than ordinary people, and there are only a few people who can understand atomic bombs in this era, except for some professional scientific researchers and some nuclear physicists, Zhang Yunfei is still patient. Listen.
Zhang Yunfei listened to Oppenheimer's explanation and gained a detailed understanding of the atomic bomb and its development work.
The atomic bomb is one of the nuclear weapons. It is a weapon of mass destruction that uses the photothermal radiation, shock wave and induced radioactivity of the nuclear reaction to cause killing and destruction, as well as cause large-area radioactive pollution and prevent the other party's military operations to achieve strategic goals.
Before introducing the structural principles of the atomic bomb, Oppenheimer first introduced the charge of the atomic bomb to Zhang Yunfei. At present, the charge of atomic bombs mainly uses uranium 235. At present, the only fissile material that is available in large quantities and can be used as charge of atomic bombs is uranium 235.
The main scientific research work on atomic bombs is how to obtain high-concentration uranium 235. Before Oppenheimer came, this work was full of difficulties and progress was slow. After Oppenheimer came, this work made breakthrough progress.
After Oppenheimer came, in order to obtain the high concentration of uranium 235 needed to make the atomic bomb, m¨£sh¨¤ng adopted the "gas diffusion method". After many tests and research, it finally succeeded. At present, yijing has obtained a lot of high-quality Concentration of uranium-235.
With nuclear charges, as long as their volume or mass exceeds a certain critical value, an atomic bomb explosion can be achieved. But there is another problem with the atomic bomb, that is, how to do it: when it is not needed to explode, it will not explode; when it is needed to explode, it can explode immediately.
This work is currently the research topic that Oppenheimer and his scientific research team are currently working on. However, now that Yijing has a clue, Oppenheimer is ready to realize it through the control of critical mass or critical size.
Oppenheimer also has a rough plan on how to control critical mass or critical size. Oppenheimer is planning to adopt a so-called gun structure.
In later generations, the first atomic bomb used this structure. For example, the atomic bomb dropped by the United States on Hiroshima, Japan (codenamed "Little Boy") used a gun-type structure. The bomb weighed about 4100 kilograms, was about 71 centimeters in diameter, and was long. Approximately 305 cm. The nuclear charge is uranium 235, and the explosive power is about 14,000 tons of TNT equivalent.
In principle, the simplest atomic bomb uses the so-called gun structure. Two uranium blocks, both smaller than the critical mass, separated by a certain distance will not cause an explosion. When they are brought together, they are larger than the critical mass and explode immediately.
Zhang Yunfei spent half a minute and patiently listened to Oppenheimer's report. After the report, Oppenheimer was very happy and looked very pleased with Ziji's achievements.
After listening to the report, Zhang Yunfei was naturally very happy. Unexpectedly, the research progress of atomic bombs has progressed so quickly after Oppenheimer came. Yijing is studying how to control the explosion, and the purification of uranium 235 is solved by Yijing. , and purified a lot of high-concentration uranium-235.
Having made such great progress, Zhang Yunfei was slightly excited in his heart. He m¨£sh¨¤ng asked: "Dear Mr. Oppenheimer, I am very happy that you have achieved such great results. You will probably be able to develop the first atomic bomb." ?¡±
After listening to Zhang Yunfei's words, Oppenheimer said proudly: "Dear Chairman Zhang, first of all I want to thank you for providing such good conditions for our research. We will work hard to repay your kindness. We will strive to The first atomic bomb was developed within a year.¡±
"Okay! Great!" Zhang Yunfei was naturally very excited and happy when he heard that the first atomic bomb would be developed within a year.
Zhang Yunfei thought, when the first atomic bomb was dropped on the battlefield, I couldn¡¯t help butWhat did the country think, exchanging such a talented scientist to Ziji? I guess it was because the United States was in the mood of hitting a wall.
