Forget it, the enlarged meeting of the Politburo, there is no need to inquire so much, and you can wait for the document to be issued with peace of mind.

"Then Shuai Deng and Chief Su...?" Tang Hua still wanted to ask.

"This," Mr. Peng was asked again, rubbed his head, and said after some thought, "Commissioner Deng said just now, 'I commanded the counter-insurgency campaign'."

This endless sentence almost confused Tang Hua. When he was thinking about restoring the scene, Mr. Peng shouted beside the hovercraft: "Tang Hua, help me down the stairs, I want to go up."

……

Mr. Peng entered the personnel compartment of the hovercraft, and sat in the back row instead of the pilot and co-pilot.However, Mr. Peng did not mean to study the technical details of the No. 34 boat, but sat on his seat and thought about the problem.

"The situation in southern Tibet is very bad."

Tang Hua climbed up the ladder and was looking at the machinery and equipment of No. 34 boat outside the personnel cabin when Mr. Peng said something.

Tang Hua:?

Mr. Peng: "Our two salient areas in southern Tibet are now in a dilemma. Suyu only considers the problem from the perspective of combat, and the political issues behind it, especially the relationship between the two countries in international politics, lack some careful consideration. But these things I don’t think there is any need to pursue it, the problem now is what to do in the future in southern Tibet.”

Tang Hua snorted, "That means we don't have enough troops to enter southern Tibet. If the worst-case scenario is assumed, the Indian side may attack me with a huge numerical advantage. We are very passive on the battlefield."

Mr. Peng: "We have only 6000 troops in southern Tibet, including 6000 engineers. These 10,000 troops are divided into the direction of Tawang and the direction of Pasika. It is difficult for the two directions to support each other. A long snake, Tawang, Derangzong, and Bundila must be guarded. On the other side, India can concentrate up to [-]+ people to attack us."

Tang Hua: "The Prime Minister and Nehru jointly issued a statement in Moscow to stop escalating the conflict. If India does not take it seriously, undermines the consensus between the two countries, and increases its troops to 10,000+ in southern Tibet, then we can also increase our troops. "

"It is possible to increase troops, but it is limited to logistics. There is an upper limit for our increase in troops. In southern Tibet, even if the road can be repaired in the future, there will be 5000 to [-] people staying there. The limit."

Tang Hua: "When the Kuomintang army attacked northern Shaanxi with an army of 10,000+, you had 3 or [-] men at that time. You had to deal with Hu Zongnan and defend the central column. Didn't you beat Hu Zongnan to the ground in the end? .”

Mr. Peng: "You also said that back then I was fighting the Kuomintang army, the army of Chang Kaishen's reactionary faction. Today's India can't be worse than the Kuomintang army, right?"

Tang Hua: "..." (hesitant to speak)

……

Qian Sanqiang and Deng Jiaxian arrived in Beidaihe on August 8.It was dragged by Tang Hua.

They don't know how long the old money has been spinning, and they didn't find any signs of rest on New Year's Day in 59.Various activities during the Spring Festival are also missing.From February to July, no need to ask, I have been busy as usual.Tang Hua felt that they were too tense if they went on like this, and it would be bad if they had health problems. Last month, they had to come to Beidaihe for a vacation. Qian Sanqiang said they were busy and had no time.

So Tang Hua could only ask Nie Shuai to sign and send a meeting notice, asking Qian Sanqiang to bring several key members of the Nuclear Weapons Research Center to Beidaihe for the project coordination meeting of the National Defense Advanced Technology Research Institute.

"Let me first report on the work adjustments of the Nuclear Weapons Research Center in the last two months," said Qian Sanqiang. Wang Ganchang and I are in charge of daily work, following up on some remaining issues in the design of the atomic bomb project, and then the development of a new type of nuclear reactor; the light nuclear reactor group is headed by Deng Jiaxian, and Yu Min, the deputy head, conducts preliminary research on the technical principles and test data of the hydrogen bomb .”

The light nuclear reaction team was established before the atomic bomb test. Qian Sanqiang's plan is indeed very forward-looking.

Nie Shuai: "The development of the atomic bomb is in the final stage, and many people are still needed to participate. To set up a light nuclear reaction team now, do you have enough people?"

Qian Sanqiang: "The graduates of the 54th, 55th, and 56th grades have grown rapidly, and some of them are already able to take on important tasks in complex technical projects. We have re-deployed the existing personnel, and there are basically no major problems. "

Tang Hua: "What technical nodes have the uranium bomb and the plutonium bomb reached?"

Qian Sanqiang: "In terms of uranium bombs, after the gas diffusion plant was completed, it first produced a set of fuel rod assemblies for the 57-4 plutonium production reactor and the 57-10 plutonium production reactor, and another set for the 54-2 experimental reactor. To replace the fuel rods, I started to switch to the highly enriched uranium production mode in January this year. On July 1, I obtained uranium hexafluoride 7 gas with an abundance of 3%. Before I came to Beidaihe, the uranium hexafluoride gas had been reduced to uranium metal. It is currently being processed at the fuel element plant."

Wang Ganchang: "It is based on the blueprint of the implosion-type uranium bomb that Minister Tang brought to the Soviet Union for review by Soviet experts in 58. The Soviet experts gave a ready-made plan and pointed out the problems in our original plan. We studied the Soviet Union The expert’s comment made us understand where our design was wrong, so we decided to correct this mistake and still use our original design plan for the overall structure.”

"In terms of plutonium bombs, the 57-4 plutonium-producing pile has grown plutonium-239," Qian Sanqiang continued, "On June 6, we took out the spent fuel rods from the 17-57 pile and tested the plutonium-4 content. It has reached the standard and can be extracted. Currently, the fuel rods are undergoing neutron cooling, and the cooling period is expected to be 239 days, followed by chemical purification to obtain plutonium-180. Generally speaking, the progress of the plutonium bomb is not as good as that of the uranium bomb.”

Tang Hua calculated the time. It wasn't that there was a delay in the progress of the plutonium bomb. The progress of the plutonium bomb was normal.The direction of the uranium bomb has been accelerated again. This should be the result of Qian Sanqiang's overtime work in the past six months.

"The direction of the uranium bomb is ahead of the original plan, which is quite impressive," Tang Hua said. "The progress of the plutonium bomb should not be rushed, especially for the spent fuel rods. It must be released for 180 days according to the operating regulations, so that the radiation is lower than the calibrated value. The chemical purification operation has only just started, so there must be no rush, and the bodies of you and the factory workers are the most precious treasure, and you must not be harmed by this. How much uranium 7 was obtained on July 3, and how many nuclear bombs can be built?"

Qian Sanqiang: "It should be 85 kilograms of uranium-235 after separation, which can make 4 implosion-type uranium bombs, and there is still a little left."

Tang Hua and Nie Shuai exchanged glances, and said to Qian Sanqiang: "Let the nuclear fuel element factory use up all of it. The factories in Dalian, Baotou, and Luoyang are all ready to assemble the four atomic bombs."

……

"As for the light nuclear reaction unit, there is nothing to say about the physical manufacture, only a little bit of tritium was obtained, which was produced in Tsinghua's 565 experimental reactor, and 7 grams of tritium were produced by July 25th..."

Deng Jia first talked about the progress of the light nuclear reaction group.

Tang Hua: "The development of the hydrogen bomb has just begun, and it is not a problem if there is no physical manufacturing. Moreover, according to the information we have obtained, the hydrogen bomb with liquid tritium as the fusion material was only made by the United States from 1951 to 1953. It is a very early original design and mature. The fusion material used in the hydrogen bomb is Lithium Deuteride 6. The production of Lithium Deuteride 6 was not owned by you before, and you may not be clear about it, but Baotou has actually produced more than 150 kilograms."

The lithium factory in Baotou was not even under the name of the Nuclear Weapons Research Center before, but at the New Concept Battery Research Institute of the Ministry of Chemical Industry. The main job was to try out lithium batteries with various formulas and structures. The isotope makes lithium deuteride 6.

"We have thought about some patterns and possible processes of nuclear fusion reaction. In the past two months, we have formally established the light nuclear reaction team, and we will continue to think about the previous progress," Yu Min said. "The dozen grams of tritium that Director Deng said is It's important that we use it and the reactor to get some data."

Deng Jiaxian: "The way to highly compress thermonuclear materials, I am afraid that the atomic bomb needs to be successfully tested first. In addition to this, the theoretical exploration of the radiation channel is now being solved." "There are also primary-secondary structures, the mechanism and specific design of intermediate stage shielding ..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Tang Hua felt that the scene was about to get out of control. Deng Jiaxian and Yu Min looked at him expectantly, but Tang Hua didn't know how the hydrogen bomb was designed. "The details of the technology, your light nuclear reaction team, go back to the meeting to discuss. I still only talk about the issue of providing support. Peng Hengwu, the one I called away and disappeared for three months, can show up now, and he also has a custom-made version of Tianhe-[-]."

Deng Jiaxian: "Oh! That's very useful."

Tang Hua: "Is your current research team mainly working in Fangshan or Baotou?"

"It's mainly in Fangshan."

"He No. [-] landed in Fangshan that day. Peng Hengwu participated in the optimization of the computer. He told us what type of calculation we should focus on, and we will change the route. From now on, Peng Hengwu will be your computer director."

……

"Chairman, Vice Chairman Lin, President Peng."

When Tang Hua and Nie Shuai found Mr. Peng, he was at the beach with the chairman and Lin Sanhu. Although he was dressed casually, he seemed to be discussing something seriously.

"Today I want to talk about the conflict with India," Tang Hua said. "In addition to the equipment that has been installed in the troops, there are two other things. The first is that the portable air defense missile has passed the test and is finalized. Three months later A small batch of products can be obtained, and if necessary, can be shipped to the printing line as quickly as possible;”

"The second thing is that we may add another new weapon to India in January and February next year. Three 1-ton atomic bombs."

Tang Hua stopped at this point.

But everyone was silent.

In the middle of the night, there were three silhouettes on the opposite chair, and the cigarette butt in one of them was flickering. It was the chairman.

"One in New Delhi, one in the Siliguri Corridor, and the remaining one is in my hand." Lin Sanhu's voice.

"no!"

After President Peng yelled this sentence, the five of them stopped talking, and the beach fell into silence again.

Tang Hua looked up at the starry sky at night.

The Milky Way is particularly bright tonight, and the sky is full of twinkling stars. These stars, which are hundreds of thousands of light years away, have existed for billions of years, and their light has taken hundreds of thousands of years to reach the earth.The universe that Tang Hua sees is actually the history of the universe. Now these stars may still shine as usual, or they may have become red giants, or they may have exploded into supernovae.

So is it a supernova explosion, or a particle of light?

I don't know how long I thought about it, the chairman's voice: "Tang Hua, will the newly created atomic bomb be usable?"
