"my country's first hydrogen bomb exploded successfully"
Ten days ago, the article on the front page of the People's Daily was "my country's First Enhanced Atomic Bomb Exploded Successfully", and 20 days ago it was "my country's First Atomic Bomb Exploded Successfully".
"After two atomic bomb tests within 20 days, today, February 1960, 2, China's first hydrogen bomb was successfully detonated over western China."
"The success of this hydrogen bomb test is another leap in the development of China's nuclear weapons, marking that the development of my country's nuclear weapons has entered a new stage."
"Chairman Mao said: In the field of production struggle and scientific experiments, human beings are always developing, and nature is always developing, and they will never stop at the same level. Therefore, human beings must constantly sum up experience, To discover, to invent, to create, to advance."
"From the successful test of the first atomic bomb to the successful test of the first hydrogen bomb, it took the United States 7 years and three months, the United Kingdom 4 years and 7 months, the Soviet Union 6 years and 3 months, China, it took 20 days."
"China's necessary and limited nuclear tests and development of nuclear weapons are purely for defense, and its ultimate goal is to eliminate nuclear weapons. We once again solemnly declare that at any time and under any circumstances, China will not be the first to use nuclear weapons, no Non-nuclear-weapon states use or threaten to use nuclear weapons. What we say always counts.”
……
The whole world was shocked by the success of China's first hydrogen bomb test, and the United States was no exception.That night, Blinken flew the U-2 plane to land, and he and his plane were immediately surrounded by chemical and radiation protection experts.Before being sent for a medical examination, Blinken turned his head and yelled at the CIA intelligence officer:
"I want to get radiation allowance too!"
The film taken by Blinken has not been sent back to the United States. Now at the CIA headquarters, US military experts have just finished analyzing the data of China's second nuclear test.
"It's a puff pastry bomb, we know for sure."
The main analyst of China's second nuclear test is Christie of Los Amos Laboratory.
“我们在核爆云团的残留物中发现了氘和锂6，这说明中国第二枚核弹使用了氘化锂6。残留物还包括微量铀238、钚239、钍233……这证明他们还在氘化锂6外面再包了一层铀238外壳。”
"The concentration of lithium deuteride 6 in the residue proves that the reaction of the fusion material of this nuclear bomb is very incomplete."
"In short, this is a typical puff pastry nuclear bomb, nothing more typical."
"This nuclear bomb used at least 70 kilograms of lithium deuteride 6, which is equivalent to 12 tons of TNT. The utilization rate of its fusion material is not high."
"The fission core is exactly the same as the first nuclear bomb, an implosion-type uranium bomb. The Chinese are very confident in their first nuclear bomb test, because this puff pastry bomb must have been tested in the first nuclear bomb test." It was made before it exploded."
"This nuclear bomb, can it be air-dropped?" Dulles asked almost exactly the same question as in the first meeting.
Christie: "Not sure. We have no way to see the true shape of this nuclear bomb. However, if the Chinese arsenal has skilled explosives design engineers, they can make this nuclear bomb within 5 tons, and they can use heavy bombers Drop it. Hello, Mr. Secretary, did you come in to inform China that the third atomic bomb has just been successfully tested?"
From the corner of her eye, Christie saw Dulles' secretary gently push open the door of the meeting room, which was very similar to the scene of the meeting 10 days ago, so she casually made a joke.
Secretary: "Yes, China's third atomic bomb has just been successfully tested."
"..." "..." "..."
"The seismic monitoring station has measured China's third nuclear explosion, with an equivalent of 90 tons of TNT. When the nuclear explosion happened, we happened to have a U-2 plane over Xinjiang, China. This U-2 most likely witnessed China's nuclear explosion. The scene of the third nuclear bomb explosion. U-2 will land in about half an hour."
Seeing that the meeting place was quiet, the secretary briefly talked about the current situation.

Curie Laboratory, University of Paris, France.
After the successful test explosion of the "Blue Desert Rat", the French nuclear physics research institute became the hero of France, but the Curie laboratory had no time to celebrate the victory. They wanted to continue to perfect the design of the implosion atomic bomb - the Blue Desert Rat What a waste of plutonium; the research on the hydrogen bomb has to be started, which is obviously the hardest job.
On January 1, China successfully tested its first atomic bomb. When the news reached France, Curie Lab was surprised, but not too depressed.
France and China are so far away, and in 1954, because they couldn’t fight the Yue monkey, wrong, because of the pursuit of peace, France withdrew from the Indochina Peninsula, and there was no conflict of interest with China, so China’s possession of nuclear weapons is neither for France Good things are not bad things, it doesn't matter much.
On January 1, China's 24-ton enhanced atomic bomb was successfully detonated, and then, on February 12, the hydrogen bomb was successfully detonated.
The Curie laboratory, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the whole of France are a little restless.
What Curie Lab thinks is: as a first-class nuclear weapons research base in Europe, the development of nuclear weapons is actually lagging behind China, and its reputation may be damaged.
The Atomic Energy Commission has been worrying about the Algerian nuclear test site since the first nuclear test.Because the Blue Desert Rat used a large amount of plutonium, the unreacted plutonium 239 caused serious pollution to the south of Algeria. After two or three nuclear tests, the nuclear test site was abandoned.
The Atomic Energy Commission is reporting to Charles de Gaulle to establish a second nuclear test site in the Tuamotu Islands in French Polynesia.
China's hydrogen bomb test was successful, and the Atomic Energy Commission was called in by de Gaulle in the middle of the night and reprimanded for half an hour.
After de Gaulle finished cursing, he went back and increased the allocation to the Atomic Energy Commission, asking them to change their previous development route and transfer more resources from the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb project.

Pacific Ocean, Indonesian waters.
The fleet of the Chinese Navy set off from Jakarta a few days ago and just passed through the Makassar Strait yesterday and entered the Celebes Sea (Sulawesi Sea).
In the past month, the fleet of ships has sailed from one country to another, from an unfamiliar sea area to another unfamiliar sea area.
The first-generation captains, political commissars, and formation commanders of the People's Liberation Army Navy were all a group of army officers and soldiers with low education levels a few years ago. The chairman ordered them to be driven into the sea.Under the training of Soviet consultants and uprising naval officers of the national army, I gritted my teeth and practiced hard for several years. I have the ability, but it is the first time to practice it.
On the first day in the Celebes Sea, the formation encountered the enemy.At 12:10 noon, the Chongqing ship's air search radar found two air targets, judging from the characteristics that they were not passing passenger planes, but small military planes.
The entire formation was put on alert, and a few minutes later, two small black dots appeared in the sky: the A-4 "Skyhawk" attack aircraft of the US Navy.
The formation commander immediately sounded the battle alarm.
The A-4 attack aircraft flew to a place 22 kilometers away from the Chinese naval fleet, and was locked by two tracking radars.
This is the first meeting between China and the United States on the high seas, and it seems that there is no need to aim and lock...
However, there are not so many commanders and fighters on the Chongqing ship and the 105th ship "Suzhou". These are aircraft of the US emperor.
The pilot of the A-4 attack aircraft also heard the beeping sound of the radar warning device, and quickly made a big turn, followed the Chinese fleet for a while at a distance of about ten kilometers, and then left quietly.
"The Americans are just bad, and they always try to get our ideas. Didn't they explode a hydrogen bomb yesterday, so they are in a hurry."

"The Chinese government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Maritime Safety Administration issued a notice on the no-sail zone:"
“1960年2月8日14时至2月10日14时，太平洋海域以下四点连线区域为中国海军演习区域。”
“连线的四个基本点为：北纬3度01分00秒、东经133度00分00秒；北纬3度01分00秒、东经133度22分00秒；北纬2度40分00秒、东经133度22分00秒；北纬2度40分00秒、东经133度00分00秒。”
"During this period, all ships and aircraft are prohibited from entering the sea area and its airspace, and trespassers will be driven away."
"During the start of the no-navigation zone, there will be Chinese naval vessels operating in the sea area, and a certain amount of active electromagnetic interference will be released to ensure the smooth formation of the no-navigation zone for the exercise."
……
Three days before the ballistic missile test, China officially announced that it would conduct exercises in the high seas near the equator.
This is to make the fleet of ships heading to the predetermined location less harassed by the U.S. Navy.However, although it was only three days in advance, the U.S. Navy's aircraft still caught up with the formation.
