Nie Shuai: "In the past, artificial satellites and probes were launched. Now we have to send people into space. There must be no mistakes. If the launch of a manned spacecraft fails and one or two pilots are sacrificed, the impact will be too bad."
"In 58 and 59, the reliability of the 8K7 series of rockets was still improved a lot," Tang Hua said, "but for manned spaceflight, it may have to be improved a little bit. It depends on the Soviet Union's unmanned spacecraft in the next year. Is the launch success rate high?"
Nie Shuai: "The Soviet Union's manned spaceflight plan was notified to us last year. At that time, there was a discussion in the central government about whether China could also engage in manned spaceflight."
"If we want to do it, let's see if we can cooperate with the Soviet Union?" Tang Hua said, "If we do it ourselves, we first need a rocket with a near-Earth carrying capacity of 9 to 10 tons, and then do 5 to 6 launches. , The fifth or sixth rocket can send astronauts into space. These big rockets can launch many satellites."
Nie Shuai: "Don't be in such a hurry. The central government has not yet made a final decision. It may take a while to make a decision. Maybe it will be the end of this year."
……
On February 2th, Beijing Railway Station.
Tang Hua stepped out of the carriage and stepped onto the platform.
In November, I went to the Fangshan Light Nuclear Reactor Group to replace Peng Hengwu, who was sick and hospitalized. I was somehow involved in the hydrogen bomb research, and then rushed to Xi'an to assemble the "梼杌" hydrogen bomb while perfecting the design. After the assembly, I took the hydrogen bomb directly to Lop Nur pull away.
Fangshan is still on the border of Hebei Province, so... Counting from the work of the light nuclear reaction team, it has been three months since Tang Hua left Beijing.
When he stepped out of the carriage, Tang Hua saw huge red banners, red flowers, green leaves, and green military uniforms. Waves of welcome crowds lined up neatly according to levels on the platform saw the smiles on everyone's faces.
"Hello, Chairman." Nie Shuai walked first, saluted and shook hands with the Chairman.
"Rong Zhen, well done," said the chairman, "Now, my back is hardened, and the backs of the [-] million people in China are hardened!"
"Because we have this thing in our hands, our voices in the world have become louder and our words have become tougher." The Prime Minister said to Nie Shuai.
"Chairman, this series of nuclear tests went smoother than expected." Tang Hua shook hands with the chairman.
"In Yan'an in 1946, you gave lectures at the Academy of Natural Sciences for two months, remember?"
The chairman and Tang Hua talked about what happened more than ten years ago.
Tang Hua: "I remember. At that time, I introduced the US atomic bomb and talked about nuclear weapons."
"We had a meeting yesterday. Boss Peng said that it took less than six years for China's nuclear program to go from the start to the successful test. I said, not six years, but 14 years. It should start in 1946."
Tang Hua: "From the day when 'want to have nuclear weapons' came into our minds, it was the day when the Chinese people started to develop nuclear weapons."
Prime Minister: "A person, a country, the most important thing is a dream. With a dream, a goal is set in the heart. The next thing to do is to move towards the goal. Today, we have realized the dream 14 years ago. .”
……
"Boss Peng." Tang Hua shook hands with Boss Peng.
"You have to salute. You have a military position." Mr. Peng knew that Tang Hua had a military position.
Tang Hua smiled and raised his right hand to salute.
"In the past two months of working on atomic and hydrogen bombs, we have finished fighting India," Peng said. "The fight is over, but some comrades in the air force and army are still confused. They don't know how the battle ended like this. A self-defense counterattack summary meeting will be held in March, and you will tell them about technical equipment."
Tang Hua: "It's okay, you can take a half-month vacation?"
……
"It's not fake." It was Li Fuchun, the chief accountant, who spoke.
"This year's economic and industrial plans have already been arranged, but there are many issues to be discussed when it comes to western trade and industrial equipment imports," Li Fuchun said.
Chief accountant: "Negotiate with the West and make Batumi let go. At least let Batumi release the industrial equipment and industrial technology of the same restricted level as 'computer and electronic equipment', and openly exchange with the West. You buy level 6 restricted equipment from China , then we have to allow us to buy your Level 6 restricted equipment."
Tang Hua: "Have the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade started talks?"
"It's the second round."
……
"Old Qian, look there." Tang Hua patted Qian Sanqiang on the shoulder.Qian Sanqiang turned his head and saw He Zehui leading Qian Sijin and Qian Minxie waving in this direction.
Next to them are of course Zhou Xuan and Tang Hancheng.
There are many others...
"No, no, it's not right, it's not right," Deng Jiaxian saw Xu Luxi, and was very frightened, "Our research institute is a first-class secret, and I'm a top-secret person. I didn't tell Lu Xi what kind of work I was doing before. This violates the discipline of secrecy."
"My sister-in-law has already decided to transfer to the Military Medical Research Institute, which is also a first-class secret unit, and the secret level matches yours," Tang Hua said. "Of course, there are other restrictions, but you can meet now."
How to keep the core research team of the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb secret? In the second half of last year, the central government was discussing the adjustment plan.
In the first few years of the two-bomb project, only Tang Hua, Qian Sanqiang, and Qian Xuesen were public figures, so they kept their identities public. The other dozens of backbones "disappeared in the world".
These dozens of people are isolated from their families, and they can't even see each other. This is too inhuman.
After the adjustment of the policy, family members can choose to follow the unit, work in the research institute, and work in a subsidiary unit of the same level next to Fangshan, so that they can live together.Of course, family members and researchers are together, but communication between family members and the outside world is restricted.
Some family members are engaged in important jobs in other fields and cannot be transferred to nearby Fangshan. This is not easy to solve for the time being.As an associate professor of Beijing Medical University, Xu Luxi happens to be able to transfer jobs from the Military Medical Academy, which is a special case.
However, even the core personnel of the two bombs and one satellite who cannot get together will gradually be able to have time to meet their families in the future.
Running towards the group of relatives and friends with the crowd, Tang Hua carried Zhou Xuan around three full circles, and Zhou Xuan struggled to say the first sentence:
"Tang Hua, how long has it been since you took a shower?"
……
"Although I'm a little nervous about using water, I insist on changing my underwear every three days." Tang Hua defended.
"That means you haven't showered for more than a month, right?"
Tang Hua: ...
There is basically no way to take a bath in Lop Nur.Not only did Tang Hua not take a bath, but Deng Jia was ahead of Min Peng Hengwu... These people who went to Lop Nur together, Tang Hua did not see them taking a bath.The base is not only short of water, but also has occasional heating, so it can make do.
"Jiaxian, your baby? How old is it?" "Almost four years old."
"That's more than five years younger than my family's." "That's right, Seoul and Qian Sijin are both 51 years old."
……
"Tang Hua, Minister Tang?"
Qian Xuesen was also hiding in the welcoming crowd. After a while of intimacy, Tang Hua found out.
"Tang Hua, the Soviets distorted the first live broadcast satellite, and the thrust of the third-stage rocket was abnormal, and it was only sent to an orbit of 22000-27000 kilometers, turning it into an asynchronous synchronous satellite." Qian Xuesen said.
Tang Hua: "Let's think about it, is it the one launched on December 12? Something went wrong with the rocket, so is the satellite itself working properly?"
"The people in the satellite department tested it, and it's normal. When a signal is sent to it, the satellite can amplify the signal and forward it. However, it is not a geostationary satellite now, and it is constantly moving in the sky. Ordinary ground receiving equipment can't find where this satellite is."
