Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 209 Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing! (Subscribe)

"Yang Ning, mom came over today and said that your childhood friend Xu Damao is getting married on New Year's Day, and asked if we can go?"

When getting home from get off work to eat, Hu Yinghong suddenly said to Yang Ning.

"Da Mao is also old enough to get married!" Yang Ning said sadly after hearing Hu Yinghong's words, then shook his head helplessly and said, "I just received an urgent research task, so I definitely can't leave during this period. You can go on my behalf when the time comes."

"Okay!" Hu Yinghong nodded and had no objection to Yang Ning's decision.

Although she also couldn't stand Xu Damao's eccentric behavior, he was one of her husband's only childhood friends, and this marriage was arranged by her mother-in-law, so it would be inappropriate for their family not to have someone go.

As for asking Yang Ning to take leave to attend Xu Damao's wedding, forget it. Xu Damao really doesn't have that much face. Hu Yinghong can still clearly distinguish between his wedding and the important scientific research project in which Yang Ning is involved.

"So what should I bring with me when I go? Will it be the same as the last time when He Yuzhu got married?" Hu Yinghong asked.

Compared with Xu Damao, Hu Yinghong likes He Yuzhu a little more.

Although He Yuzhu is not good-looking and has a stubborn temper, he is indeed an honest person and does not have as many thoughts as Xu Damao.

After hearing Hu Yinghong's question, Yang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let's add a bicycle ticket for each of them, as an apology for not being able to attend his wedding."

As our steel production increases, bicycles are no longer as rare as they were in history.

Naturally, bicycle tickets are no longer a rare thing, otherwise why would Yi Zhonghai, an old man, buy Qin Huairu a bicycle in order to improve his relationship with his apprentice's family? Even He Yuzhu bought a new bicycle with his own ability after getting married.

So when Hu Yinghong heard Yang Ning say that Xu Damao gave her an extra bicycle ticket when he got married, she didn't care too much.

While Yang Ning was busy assisting Mr. Qian and Mr. Guo in researching missiles and wind tunnels, a tense experiment was also being prepared in the Gobi Desert thousands of kilometers away from Sijiu City.

"Dr. Deng, do you think we can succeed in this experiment?"

Looking at the busy soldiers and scientific researchers not far away, a leader with three stars on his shoulders nervously asked a man in his thirties beside him.

"Don't worry, Commander. The simulated bomb we used in this experiment is exactly the same as the real atomic bomb except for the nuclear material."

"Moreover, the data from previous tests is completely consistent with the data provided by Sijiu City. I believe that this experiment will be successful."

The man called Dr. Deng by the chief said with a smile. Although he looked relaxed at this moment, his clenched right hand showed that he was not at peace in his heart.

Everyone present knew what this experiment meant. It was our last simulation experiment before we successfully developed the atomic bomb.

As long as this test is successful, it means that as long as we can produce enough weapons-grade enriched uranium, we will be able to make our own atomic bomb.

"Yes, the people of the whole country are watching us. I believe that our experiment will succeed this time! It will definitely succeed!"

After hearing what Dr. Deng said, the chief spoke firmly.

"By the way, what is the current situation at the uranium enrichment plant? When can it produce enough weapons-grade enriched uranium?"

If this experiment is successful, the only thing that will restrict our nuclear weapons research progress is the production capacity of uranium enrichment, which is also the biggest concern of all those participating in the atomic bomb project.

After hearing the chief's question, Dr. Deng smiled and said with a relaxed look, "The higher-ups are very supportive of atomic bomb research. Thanks to the efforts of our brother units, the uranium enrichment plant now has tens of thousands of discrete machines. With sufficient electricity supply, they are also working hard to produce. If there are no accidents, according to estimates, they will be able to produce enough weapon-grade enriched uranium for two atomic bombs within next year."

"Oh?" After hearing what Dr. Deng said, the chief said excitedly: "That means our Miss Qiu can get married next year?" "Yes! If everything goes well, our Miss can get married next year."

"Report to the commander, the experiment is ready and can be detonated at any time."

Just then, a soldier ran over to report to the leader.

In this experiment, all procedures were carried out strictly in accordance with the real nuclear test, which can be regarded as an atomic bomb experiment rehearsal.

At this time, all units have entered their respective posts. In the control room, researchers are sitting in front of densely packed instruments, carrying out the final debugging before the experiment.

Although everyone knew that this experiment was not a real atomic bomb, they all carried out their preparations meticulously.

With the leader's order, the experiment entered the final countdown.

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Detonation!"

Following the starter's order, the researchers immediately pressed the detonation button.

At the same time, all people involved in the experiment took protective measures, and the soldiers responsible for collecting data also wore protective clothing.

From a modern perspective, these behaviors seem a little ridiculous.

It's just a dummy bullet, is it necessary to be so serious about it?
But it is precisely because of our spirit of being serious in this era that we can accomplish miraculous achievements one after another under extremely poor circumstances.

"boom!"

With an explosion that resounded through the sky, a dazzling ball of fire rose up in the experimental center.

About half an hour later, the personnel responsible for collecting data all entered the experimental area with various instruments and began to collect data. As the collection of data was completed, everyone nervously watched the operator operate the 106 machine that had just been delivered from Sijiu City, input the collected data into the computer, and carry out the final experimental analysis and calculations.

Thanks to the development of our industrial technology and science and the efforts of scientific researchers, our nuclear test equipment is much more advanced than that of Big Brother and Eagle Sauce, so the data collected is more complete.

As the calculation results came out one by one, everyone's heart was lifted.

"The optical radiation, shock wave, early nuclear radiation, nuclear electromagnetic pulse, and radiation data are consistent with previous theoretical data."

After all the calculation results came out, even the computer operator's voice trembled when he reported.

"All is ready except for the opportunity!"

After learning the news of the success of the experiment, a leader of Sijiu City said excitedly.
