Chapter 663 The first small nuclear test (Part 1)

  One day later.

 Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-...

 Heard a noise coming from outside the house.

Xu Yun couldn't help but rub the corners of his closed eyes with his hands, and subconsciously opened his eyes.

"Well"

Perhaps he noticed the movements of Xu Yun's hands, but a familiar voice from Xu Yun soon sounded beside the bed:

 “Xiao Xu, are you awake?”

Hearing this, Xu Yun let go of his hand and turned his head to look.

I saw that Lu Guangda, who lived in the same room, had already put on his clothes at some point, and was leaning against the window with a crack open, reading a book by the light.

He was holding a few pieces of calculation paper in his hand, probably checking certain aspects.

Seeing this, Xu Yun quickly moved his body up a little, leaned behind the bed, and asked Lu Guangda:

“Director Lu, how long have you been awake?”

 Lu Guangda pointed at the clock on the wall with the end of his ballpoint pen and said:

“Well, how about waking up about an hour earlier than you? Did you sleep well last night?”

 “It's okay, it's no different from the base.”

Xu Yun replied to him smoothly, and then glanced outside the house a few times:

“Director Lu, what's that noise outside? Isn't there another reconnaissance plane coming from across the sea?”

Hearing this, Lu Guangda opened the curtains, and the light instantly illuminated the originally dark ward:

“Listen carefully, it's not the siren of a reconnaissance plane, it's a comrade blowing the wake-up call - don't forget where this is.”

 Reveille?

Xu Yun was stunned for a few seconds, but a look of understanding soon appeared on his face.

right.

  Different from the 221 base which has a large number of ordinary employees.

The people stationed here at Lop Nur Base are basically soldiers from the army, so daily behavior is also carried out in accordance with military camp standards.

 The base not only has wake-up signals or lights-out signals, but also often conducts field training or target practice.

With the help of Mou Fangdong, who had already arrived at the door, Xu Yun successfully got out of bed and sat in a wheelchair, and the group quickly left the house.

The dormitory where Xu Yun and others live is located in the northwest corner of the Lop Nur base. It is only two floors high, but there are about ten rooms on each floor.

According to Wang Jicheng, this is the expert building built by the base last year, specifically to receive comrades like Lu Guangda who came from the 221 Base.

At the same time that Xu Yun and Lu Guangda were going out, many accompanying scholars had gathered in the open space in front of the dormitory building, and there were also several transport trucks containing supplies parked - of course, the Jeep modified for Xu Yun was also present.

In addition, Comrade Zhang, the person in charge of the base, Political Commissar Han, Peng Jiamu and others were also chatting aside, and they had obviously been waiting for a while.

 “Comrade Zhang!”

Upon seeing this, Lu Guangda quickly brought Xu Yun forward and stretched out his hand apologetically:

“Sorry, Comrade Zhang, I kept you waiting for so long.”

 “Hey, it's a small thing.”

Comrade Zhang shook his head indifferently:

“I've done marching and fighting missions countless times, what's the point of waiting for someone downstairs?”

 Then he glanced at Lu Guangda and Xu Yun in the wheelchair, and said after careful consideration:

“Guangda, do you want to go to the brigade canteen to have something to eat first?”

 Lu Guangda immediately shook his head:

"Time is tight, so there is no need to go to the canteen. We still have a few pancakes and steamed buns prepared by the 221 base for us before leaving in the car. We can just eat the steamed buns."

Comrade Zhang also has a resolute character. When he saw Lu Guangda's answer, he waved his hand neatly:

 “Okay, let's set off!”

 Lu Guangda has no objection.

 The group of people then got into the car one after another and drove in a certain direction under the leadership of Comrade Zhang.

 “Chief.”

Today, the person responsible for driving Lu Guangda and Xu Yun was still Shen Yuanfu who greeted them. He introduced them while driving:

“The circle we are in now—including the building where you and Comrade Zhang met yesterday and the experts' dormitory where you rested yesterday—all belong to the living area of ​​the Malan base.”

“This living area covers an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers, including some material warehouses and military areas.”

“The planned location of the nuclear explosion will be a little further west, about 200 kilometers away from us.”

“There is also a guardianship station there, equipped with two engineering regiments to build nuclear explosion facilities for a long time, but the living conditions are a little worse than in the main area of ​​the base.”

 Lu Guangda nodded slightly.

 The reason why the organization chose Lop Nur as the nuclear explosion site is because Lop Nur has a vast territory and can arbitrarily choose some remote places as nuclear explosion sites.

The straight-line distance of 200 kilometers is relatively safe for the radiation equivalent of an atomic bomb. In addition, the personnel at the Malan base will definitely be transferred on the day of the official nuclear explosion, so it goes without saying much about safety.

The convoy soon began to shuttle along the central axis of the Malan base. Not far from the side of the convoy was the Tianshan Mountains.

It is autumn at this time. There are not many Malan flowers in the base, but you can see a winding and clear river.

Then Xu Yun suddenly thought of something, poked his head forward and asked:

“Plai Commander Shen, is this river a tributary of Bosten Lake?”

Shen Yuanfu nodded:

 “That's right.”

When Xu Yun heard this, a look of thought suddenly appeared on his face.

 Speaking of Lop Nur, many people may think of the words Gobi Desert and desert.

  But in fact this is not the case.

At the beginning, the capital's requirements for the test explosion site were that in addition to being remote and having a solid geological structure, another requirement was that it must be close to a water source.

For example, in addition to being adjacent to Xihai Lake, Base 221 is also surrounded by fresh water resources such as Huangshui, which later became Dong Dadan Reservoir.

Another example is that after the Dunhuang site selection plan was rejected, the organization selected an area in the south of a certain province in addition to Zhuzhou.

But that area unfortunately lost its qualification as a test explosion base precisely because there was no water source around it.

 The reason why Zhuzhou is a lucky one is because there is a well-known lake inside it - Bosten Lake.

Bosten Lake is the largest inland lake in Zhuzhou. When the lake water level is 1048.50m, the lake area is 1210.50km, and it belongs to the Tarim River system.

Its area is larger than Chaohu Lake, one of the five largest freshwater lakes. It is only because of the salt water period that it cannot be listed as the fifth largest freshwater lake.

Of course.

The reason Xu Yun thought of Bosten Lake was not because of its size, but because of its size.

 Ecological issues of the Tarim River to which Bosten Lake belongs.

Although the Tarim River did not dry up in later generations, the water resources in some derived areas dried up for some reasons.

 One of the most representative ones is Lop Nur.

 That's right.

 Today's Lop Nur actually has a water source, which is not difficult to tell from the word "Bo" in its name.

Lop Nur and Bosten Lake are interdependent. After the Tarim River dies in winter, Bosten Lake will inject its essence into Lop Nur to keep it moist. This interdependent ecology is of great benefit and value to domestic ecological regulation. In later generations, the water inflow situation of the Tarim River, that is, the data from the Challa hydrological station section, is even a key indicator for domestic weather prediction.

It is a pity that Lop Nur has entered a period of natural depletion since last year. In addition, the rabbits these days do not have enough awareness in related aspects. In the next few years, domestic water will be diverted from Lop Nur without restraint, which eventually led to the complete depletion of Lop Nur in the 1980s. .

be honest.

Xu Yun is not an extreme environmentalist and does not deliberately emphasize environmental protection.

But the protection of Lop Nur is not extreme, and is of great value to climate control. Therefore, Xu Yun really has the idea of ​​​​helping Lop Nur.

This is a good thing that will benefit future generations, not to mention that the control method is very simple—just control the population growth upstream.

 The area of ​​Zhuzhou is extremely large. If the capital side has careful planning, it will be very easy to distribute and develop the population.

The other issue is the scheduling of some reservoir projects. We can talk about this with the writer in the extra chapter in a few days.

 Xu Yun then returned his mind to reality and continued to look at the scene outside the window.

 More than three hours later.

With a puff of sand and dust, the convoy stopped steadily outside a camp.

This camp is located in a mountain depression. It is not large in area, but its density is a little higher than the main base in Malan.

 There were only four soldiers on duty at the entrance of the camp, but Xu Yun was sure that this was just the number on the surface.

In the event of an emergency, the surrounding rocks and trees might come to life, and a large number of people would emerge from the ground.

The Gobi Desert is vast and endless. Before the convoy arrived at the camp, the soldiers on duty noticed this group of "guests" coming from afar.

 So after the car stopped, a group of people quickly walked out of the camp.

The leader was a 20-year-old who was not tall but very energetic. He came quickly to Comrade Zhang's car. When he saw Comrade Zhang, he immediately saluted:

 “Hello, Chief!”

Comrade Zhang also saluted him, and then led him to Lu Guangda and Xu Yun who had just got off the car:

“Guangda, Xiao Xu, this is Comrade Chang Xiangjiang, the person in charge of the testing site.”

“Xiangjiang, these two experts from the 221 base are Comrade Lu Guangda and Comrade Xu Yun.”

From the name, it is not difficult to guess where Chang Xiangjiang comes from, and the Xiangchu accent when he speaks makes this point even more clear:

 “Hello, two chiefs!”

 Xu Yun couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw this.

　　　It seems that this person has not been poisoned by the rumors. Without opening his mouth, he asked himself whether he should drink three kilograms of raw donkey blood every day.

 Subsequently under the leadership of Chang Xiangjiang.

 The group soon arrived at the camp and arrived at a large tent.

 “Several chiefs.”

Chang Xiangjiang is worthy of being Comrade Zhang's direct subordinate, and he also carries Comrade Zhang's vigorous and resolute style in the workplace. As soon as he entered the room, he took a map and spread it flat on the table:

“Commanders, our current location is the front area of ​​the test site, which is still 22 kilometers away from the center of the blast.”

“In addition, the underground at our station has basically been hollowed out, and all personnel can enter the underground at any time to avoid radiation.”

“As for the location of the headquarters, it is here. It is about 4.2 kilometers away from the center of the blast, and it is also located underground.”

Lu Guangda looked at the structural diagram of the base carefully for a while without saying anything.

 It is well known.

The atomic bomb is powerful even though it is said to be powerful, but actually it is small.

 Generally, the killing radius of an atomic bomb =C×explosion yield^(1/3), C is a fixed value: 1.493885

Today, Lu Guangda and the others only conducted a small nuclear test, and the radiation range was only one or two kilometers.

As long as the personnel stationed 22 kilometers away stay underground, the radiation harm they will receive is even less than the power radiation of a mobile phone in later generations.

 Then Lu Guangda looked at Chang Xiangjiang again and asked:

“Comrade Xiangjiang, have the people near the explosion center been screened?”

 The personnel Lu Guangda mentioned obviously did not refer to the soldiers of the Engineer Regiment, but to outsiders who were not allowed to enter the scene privately.

Chang Xiangjiang's expression immediately became serious when he heard this:

“Chief, please rest assured, we have deployed manpower to conduct 24-hour patrols three days ago, and no one has been found who entered by mistake.”

“Actually, our station has been established for 434 days today, and we haven't seen anyone break in yet—it's really too remote here.”

 Lu Guangda nodded.

 Then he exchanged some information with Chang Xiangjiang, such as where the nearest observation point was, whether the supporting materials for the test explosion were ready, and so on.

 More than twenty minutes later.

With all aspects confirmed, Lu Guangda took Xu Yun and left the tent again.

Now that the handover matters have been completed, the small nuclear explosion experiment should officially begin.

As a result, after taking a few steps, Lu Guangda suddenly found that Comrade Zhang was also following him, and couldn't help but be surprised:

“Comrade Zhang, where are you going?”

Comrade Zhang's face also showed a hint of astonishment:

"Guangda, what do you mean? Of course I went to the scene with you."

Lu Guangda's pupils suddenly shrank:

"How can this be done? Comrade Zhang, how can you go to such a dangerous place?"

  Different from Li Jue at 221 base.

 Comrade Zhang's identity is much more complicated than Li Jue's [technical leader], otherwise it would be impossible to call him Comrade Zhang.

So now that he learned that Comrade Zhang was also going to experiment with the explosive heart, Lu Guangda subconsciously made a stop reaction.

However, Comrade Zhang's attitude was very firm. He waved his hand and said to Lu Guangda:

“Guangda, you and Xiao Xu can go to that kind of place, why can't I go?”

“If I'm half a level lower than you in terms of level alone, and all the members of your academic department can go to Bakuxin to collect data, what's wrong with me joining in the fun?”

“At any rate, I have led the team to build a test explosion site for two years. Let me see if it doesn't work the first time?”

“Or are you worried about the basement that I and Xiangjiang have built, and think there might be an accident?”

 Lu Guangda was suddenly speechless:

 “Okay, stop being pretentious.”

Comrade Zhang then slapped Lu Guangda heavily on the shoulder and urged him to move forward quickly:

“What are you writing about? I've been here for the Great Chenzhuang, the Hundred Regiments War, and the Peninsular War. Why are you still afraid of a small nuclear bomb test explosion? You're gone.”

 Lu Guangda hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded hesitantly.

Comrade Zhang is notoriously stubborn. When he gets stubborn, even nine donkeys can't pull him back, let alone a scholar like him, Lu Guangda.

Anyway, although the test explosion control room was only a few kilometers away from the center of the explosion, but again, the magnitude of their test explosion was very low, and there was no problem at all after hiding in the basement.

 After thinking about this, Lu Guangda no longer persisted.

 He pushed Xu Yun's wheelchair to the jeep, and the two sat back in the car.

 Outside the car window.

Comrade Zhang greeted everyone and pushed out many broken "props" from a warehouse.

Then they loaded and fixed these props one by one, and the convoy drove further west again.

 Heart-breaking.

Note:

　 Today Huawei's press conference did not talk about mobile phones. It was careless.
