Moreland advocated the limitation and abolition of nuclear weapons. He spent a year interviewing many nuclear physicists, including peripheral experts from the US hydrogen bomb design team and students of Taylor and Ulam. Based on the information disclosed by these people, he reconstructed He considered the Taylor-Ulam configuration, and published it in the "Progress" magazine in serial form.
It is said that his original intention for writing this series of articles was to "let the public see how terrible the hydrogen bomb is, so that the public will pay more attention to the serious threat of nuclear weapons to the earth", which is also the main work of the "Nuclear Weapons Freeze Movement" organization he participated in.
The U.S. Department of Energy went crazy when it saw this article, and then the U.S. government came forward, and the Department of Justice sued "Progress" magazine for leaking secrets. "Progress" magazine, because of the sharp increase in the sales of this article, of course had to accept protection. The lawyers of both sides fought in the dark.
The reason for withdrawing the lawsuit is: no matter whether the Department of Energy testifies that the Moreland configuration is true or proves that it is false, it may cause the secret of the hydrogen bomb to be leaked. threaten.
However, due to the sudden withdrawal of the lawsuit by the US government, is the "Moreland configuration" a Taylor-Ulam configuration?How different is it from the Taylor-Ulam configuration? If the "Moreland configuration" is manufactured, can it be exploded?These questions have become unsolved mysteries.
……
After Tang Hua drew the Morand configuration, he regretted it a bit. Zhou Guangzhao threw himself on the table to perfect the drawing and write the reaction formula, with a crab leg in his mouth, and everyone at the dinner party got into work.
They obviously won't be taking the week off.
And obviously, Tang Hua also had to work overtime.
After Zhou Guangzhao’s refinement and rationalization, the Moreland configuration still failed to pass the calculation. It seems that Howard Moreland was able to live after publishing the serial article and was not evaporated by the CIA, which made sense.
Inspired by Morand's configuration, Deng Jiaxian, Yu Min, and Huang Zuqia had new ideas in their minds.Not only have the idea of a new configuration, but also go back and perfect the previous theory.According to the energy spectrum, Yu Min divided the neutrons produced in the nuclear reaction process into 16 groups. After combing the neutron energy spectrum again, the matter progressed to the final battle. Deng Jiaxian called this "the last layer of window paper". Yu Min As the saying goes, this is a "finishing kick".
Tang Hua also has work to do. The neutron energy spectrum group divided by Yu Min needs to solve simultaneous equations, that is, under a certain structure, neutron transport and radiation hydrodynamics cannot be calculated separately.What Peng Hengwu left behind were two separate programs: the neutron transport calculation program and the radiation hydrodynamics calculation program. It took Tang Hua two days to combine the two programs into a new program.
……
The Sino-Indian border, Kongka Pass.
In November, the 4000-meter high plateau has turned into ice.The border guards of our army and the Indian army formed two teams at the junction of the forces in Shankou. Both sides had loaded their guns with live ammunition, watching each other's every move vigilantly.
The 10 prisoners of the Indian army lined up obediently, and the Chinese side did not handcuff them. Anyway, these people had no intention of escaping. Nine corpses were wrapped in white cloth and lined up in a neater row on the ground.
"Now, we will return to you the bodies of 11 of your personnel captured by us during the conflict on November 15 and the bodies of 10 dead personnel! Please bring them back to the personnel you sent to receive them!" the company commander said The roar of the voice echoed in the valley, "The weapons and ammunition of the Indian army captured by our side will also be returned at the same time!"
On November 11th, in the border conflict incident south of Kongka Mountain Pass, our army patrol team encountered a platoon of Indian army. The two sides had a fierce quarrel first, and then pointed their guns at each other.Our patrol captain got up and shouted to the other party to calm down. At this time, the Indian army fired blatantly, and our patrol captain and the 15nd company and 2nd platoon leader of the border defense regiment died.
The irritated patrol team of our army quickly launched an attack. A few minutes later, the platoon of the Indian army was defeated, 9 were killed, 10 were captured, and our army added 2 lightly wounded.
After the Kongka Pass incident, the Prime Minister personally summoned the Indian Ambassador to China Pathasarathi.
"Regarding this conflict, the governments of China and India have exchanged several notes, including your government's note to the Chinese government on November 11. It is very regrettable that although your note has raised many unreasonable It is a request that is completely impossible to fulfill, and you still violate this note."
The Prime Minister and Patasarati continued to negotiate for another half an hour, but the two sides failed to reach an agreement.
"To create a good atmosphere for the friendly settlement of the border issue, my suggestion is that the actual control lines of the two sides on the west side of the Sino-Indian border each withdraw [-] kilometers; in the conflict areas on the eastern front, the two sides promise not to send armed personnel into each other's controlled areas to provoke and fight against each other. patrol."
Pathasarathi is not authorized to make such concessions at home and pretends to be confused.
……
"Our government lodges its strongest protest to the Indian government"
"...the unprecedented and serious incident in the eastern section of the Sino-Indian border was caused by the Indian government's deliberate aggression to occupy our territory; , the inevitable result of heightened tensions across the Sino-Indian border."
"The Chinese people must not tolerate their land being arbitrarily occupied by India, and they must not sit back and watch their border guards be brutally killed! It is tolerable, which is unbearable!"
……
"Oh, oh, oh."
Tang Hua flicked the newspaper twice with his fingers, "India is like this, it may be difficult to turn back. The border conflict between China and India has developed to this day, and it is impossible not to fight a war."
Quiet.
Ok……
Tang Hua probably still has a little free time in the light nuclear reaction team of the Institute of Atomic Energy. When Deng Jiaxian, Yu Min, Zhou Guangzhao and others were doing architecture design and theoretical demonstration, Tang Hua was the supercomputer custodian; when they had some design needs Perform calculations, then program and start supercomputing to perform calculations.
"...so a big country must have a few heavy weapons, otherwise, our majestic China will be encroached on by a country like India, and we will be entangled every day." Huang Zuqia completed the derivation of a subsection of the formula and raised his head. .
"Heavy weapons of a great country..." Tang Hua nodded, "Atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, ... when the hydrogen bombs will come out, people all over the country will be watching us."
Before you know it, it's December.
"Qongqi" has been assembled and is undergoing the final round of testing.After the comprehensive inspection is completed, it will be transported to Lop Nur on a special train.In Lop Nur, the nuclear test base has been built, and the 100-meter tower is waiting for "Qingqi" to climb to the top at any time.
On December 12, Peng Hengwu returned to the Institute of Atomic Energy holding the bottle stand.Tang Hua, who originally wanted to wait for Peng Hengwu to come back to take over, saw Lao Peng's appearance, and couldn't say the words "You are on top, I'll go first."
Continue to stick to the post.
The light nuclear reaction group has now entered the state, and the researchers are divided into three research groups. Except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is immersed in the space of the atomic nucleus.No, these people were also thinking about things while they were eating.
"Xiao He, help me check the duration of this reaction." Deng Jia first held up a piece of paper.
"Okay, Team Leader Deng." He Zuoxiu is a member of Deng Jiaxian's team. The calculation of "Deng Configuration [-]" failed, and Deng Jiaxian proposed a brand new "Deng Configuration [-]". See where there are flaws.
Yu Min proposed a Yu Min (3) after the dinner, and it was passed.This is a giant bomb. The nuclear trigger does not need to be "poor" but a newly designed giant atomic bomb. Only 235 ton of uranium-1 is used. This 1 ton of uranium-235 is divided into dozens of nuclear bombs, and the equivalent can exceed one million Ton, after detonation, nuclear fission reactions are taking place in all directions of the fusion material, oppression, fusion, and fusion neutrons trigger uranium 235 to undergo more thorough fission...
This gigantic bomb with an equivalent of [-] million tons weighs tens of tons, so it has no practical significance.
Now the supercomputer is verifying Yu Min (4).
"Old Yu, the result is out."
The calculation results were displayed on the screen, and the printer next to it began to creak and creak. Tang Hua looked at his watch, it was 11 o'clock in the evening.
Yu Min leaned over to look at the screen, but Yu Min (4) still couldn't do it.
"Old Yu, Old Deng, everyone should rest here today," Tang Hua said.
Yu Min sat there motionless. "let me think again."
……
I don't know how long I thought about it, Yu Min moved, reached out and picked up the two pieces of paper Yu Min (3) and Yu Min (4) in front of me, and tore them into two pieces.
"I'll think about it again, go outside and think about it."
Wearing a thick overcoat, Yu Min walked out of the supercomputing hall, went through two doors, and went outdoors.Beijing in early winter has just had a whole day of north wind, the air is cold, the sky is cloudless, there is only a desolate land and a sky full of stars.
Tang Hua, Deng Jiaxian, Zhou Guangzhao: ...
"I've been outside the house for two hours. Lao Peng's bottle rack, just bring it here when you're done using it," Zhou Guangzhao said in a low voice, "Old Yu won't stop until he catches a cold."
"Stop, don't be crowed." Deng Jiaxian said in a low voice.
Tang Hua was typing on the keyboard boredly.
The room temperature in the supercomputing hall is very high, and even when the supercomputing is running, the windows have to be opened to dissipate heat.But once outside the house, it was minus four degrees.
