Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 166: Overcoming the last hurdle, the dragon roars! (Subscribe)
"It seems that the higher-ups have also realized our biggest loophole in the aerospace field!"

That’s right, the data sent by the Aviation Research Institute was none other than the design drawings of a supersonic wind tunnel.

You have to know that in history, it was only after we had our own hypersonic wind tunnel in 69 that our artificial satellites were successfully launched and intercontinental missiles were successfully developed.

Although this is far inferior to the future hypersonic wind tunnels, it also heralds the arrival of a magnificent space exploration.

After Mr. Guo returns to China in a few months, together with his fellow senior brother Mr. Qian, the curtain will be completely opened.

Unlike nuclear weapons which only exist as a deterrent force, the aerospace field will be the main battlefield for competition among major powers in future generations.

Aircraft, missiles, rockets and satellites are the decisive forces that will determine the outcome of future wars.

It’s a pity that Yang Ning has important things to do now and cannot participate in this. After all, now, the most important thing for us is to have something in the bottom of our box that others dare not mess with, and everything else has to be put aside.

"Finally found!"

That day, after Yang Ning finished processing the information in his hand, he finally found the reason why the reaction chain was broken before.

The preset neutron source energy of our previous test bomb was not enough, which caused the heavy atoms to fission after being bombarded by the preset neutrons. After the first one or two fission reactions, the energy of the subsequent split neutrons was less than 1.1 MeV, which could not cause other heavy atoms to continue to undergo subsequent fission reactions, which directly broke the reaction chain.

In order to make uranium 235 fission, it must be bombarded with high-energy neutrons of 1.1 MeV. If the value is lower than this, it will produce ineffective bombardment, resulting in an incomplete fission reaction.
This will not only waste a large amount of precious weapons-grade enriched uranium, but will also greatly reduce the power of nuclear weapons.

After finding the reason, Yang Ning calculated the optimal energy value of the preset neutron source based on the maximum number of fissions that could occur in an atomic bomb.

After finishing all this, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and directly locked the information into the safe, and instructed Zhao Yang: "Zhao Yang, notify Director Tian and ask him to send someone to escort me to the Atomic Research Institute immediately."

After hearing Yang Ning's instructions, Zhao Yang immediately ran to find Director Tian.

After a while, Director Tian hurried to Yang Ning's office with two armed guards.

When Tian Jianming saw Yang Ning holding a safe with a serious expression, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

He just glanced at Yang Ning, without asking anything, and directly ordered the soldiers around him: "Now enter the wartime state. From now on, anyone who attempts to approach Comrade Yang Ning without his consent can immediately execute the battlefield regulations."

"Yes!" After hearing Director Tian's order, the two soldiers immediately stood behind Yang Ning, one on the left and one on the right, and escorted him downstairs.

The commotion here also attracted the attention of other people in the data processing institute, but after seeing Director Tian walking in front and the two soldiers with loaded guns, no one came over here.

After working in the data processing department for a long time, everyone knows what can and cannot be done.

After hearing the noise, Yang Fengyu just glanced at Yang Ning, shook his head and returned to his office.

Yang Ning was actually quite nervous at this time. Although he had come into contact with a lot of confidential information before, he had never been so nervous at this moment.

Because the information in this document can make us stand up straight.

After arriving at the Atomic Research Institute, Dean Qian, who had already received the news, brought people to welcome Yang Ning into a conference room.

Only when he got here did Yang Ning breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, the main leaders of the Atomic Research Institute had all arrived. After seeing the safe in Yang Ning's arms, they all vaguely guessed something, but they were afraid that they were wrong, so no one spoke first. "Everyone, the problem of the reaction chain break has been found!"

Yang Ning looked at the anxious crowd, found a seat to sit down, opened the safe, and without keeping everyone in suspense, took out the information and told everyone the good news.

"Really!" Although he had guessed it before, after hearing Yang Ning's confirmation, Dean Qian, who had just sat down, stood up excitedly again and looked at Yang Ning and asked.

Yang Ning smiled and nodded: "The information is here, you can read it yourself."

After hearing what Yang Ning said, Dean Qian couldn't wait to take the information and read it, thinking as he read.

Although this problem seems so simple, the experimental data and calculations involved are definitely not something that can be written on one or two sheets of paper.

Everyone stared at Dean Qian as he flipped through the documents, waiting for his final confirmation.

Although there will be no problem with Yang Ning's calculations, we still have to wait and see the final conclusion of Dean Qian, the expert, before we can be completely reassured.

"The data is correct. Thanks to you for finding the problem among so much data!"

After hearing Dean Qian's final confirmation, everyone present applauded excitedly.

Yang Ning waved his hands and said, "It's all thanks to everyone. Without your experiments day and night, we wouldn't have gotten so much accurate data. I just did the final calculation!"

"Haha, your calculation has solved our big problem!"

At this time, Director Nie, who had received the news, also walked in from outside and happened to hear what Yang Ning said.

He looked at Yang Ning with a gratified smile, then looked at Dean Qian and asked, "How is it?"

"There is no problem with the data. We can proceed with the next simulation experiment!" Dean Qian said confidently at this time.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. Although your research results cannot be made public, you should still strive to present a great gift to the motherland before National Day."

"Yes!"

With the data provided by Yang Ning, the energy problem of the preset neutron source was quickly solved. With the close cooperation of various units, in September, at the same experimental site as last time, with an explosion, our giant dragon reborn from the ashes let out a childish roar to the world at the foot of the Great Wall.

When the collected data was sent to Yang Ning again, in everyone's expectant eyes, Yang Ning smiled and shouted loudly: "It's a success, the data is completely in line with the design value!"

"Great!"

"We finally made it!"

"Woooo..."

Everyone couldn't help but cheer at this moment, and some people even cried with excitement.

After a century of humiliation, people's emotions were finally released at this moment.

Although we have not yet successfully produced an atomic bomb, the success of this experiment means that our atomic bomb manufacturing will be smooth sailing in the future, and no one can stop us from standing up!
