Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 87 Mobilization Meeting (Subscribe!)
Yang Ning looked at Dean Guo, whose face was full of sincerity, and felt mixed emotions.

He remembered that before he traveled through time, the Internet was full of comments cursing Guo Yanghu. If Yang Ning had not traveled through time to this era, he would have almost been affected.

In fact, there is no need to compare. Just look at what others say about the two of them.

Our evaluation of President Guo is: a people's artist.

Dean Guo’s works are very good, and there is no such thing as too much, only too little.

President Guo is a talented man, he writes very well, so I won’t write about it.

As for Hu Shi, our evaluation is:

Chiang was only half a traitor, while Hu Shi was a complete traitor.

Hu worked for imperialism until his death.

Even the principal said that what Hu Shi wrote was like the barking of a wild dog.

If you still don't understand the difference between the two, just think about what they are doing now.

One has devoted his life to our scientific research, while the other has been promoting the good of foreign countries abroad and doing his best to advocate for the Eagle Sauce.

Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that when he signed the Twenty-One Demands, he advocated a policy of non-resistance to the Japanese invasion. Yang Ning couldn't understand why so many people in later generations wanted to overturn his verdict? And Dean Guo, who has always advocated resistance to Japanese invasion and is still working hard for national construction, was scolded so badly.

Then the two of them walked in silence all the way to a conference room in the physics building of the new campus.

The news that Big Brother refused to provide us with missile and atomic bomb technology has come back. When Yang Ning and Dean Guo walked into the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn.

"President Guo is here! Come, sit over here!"

Seeing Dean Guo and Yang Ning come in, the leader sitting upstairs in military uniform said.

"Find an empty seat for yourself." Dean Guo whispered to Yang Ning, then nodded with a heavy face to the person who had just spoken to him.

Seeing that the boss was sitting at the front, Yang Ning found a corner and sat down.

"Fu Pian, I'm giving you all my wealth this time, you better do your best!"

After sitting down, President Guo spoke to the uniformed leader next to him who had just spoken to him.

"Haha~" The uniformed leader laughed and said with a relaxed look: "Big Brother has refused to provide us with this technology. This is not the first time. Why are you so discouraged?"

Then he said seriously: "Even if there is no help from Big Brother, I have to believe in our own comrades. We have survived such difficult days before. I don't believe that we can be tripped up by such a small difficulty?"

"But..." Dean Guo wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by the chief beside him. He said firmly: "There is no but. Don't be so pessimistic. Even if Big Brother is unwilling to help us, the chief has already told me before I came that even if it takes a hundred years, we must make our own atomic bomb."

At that time we realized that we couldn’t do it without our own trump card.

As participants arrived one after another, Yang Ning discovered figures such as Mr. Qian, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Zhou who were remembered by later generations.

"Okay, now that all the participants are here, our meeting will begin now." After the uniformed leader announced the start of the meeting in a swift and decisive manner, the scene instantly became quiet.

"Comrades, I believe everyone has received the news. Big Brother has once again rejected our request to purchase missiles and atomic bombs. Although Big Brother has his own considerations, judging from the situation at the beginning of the year, we must have our own related technologies, otherwise we will face repeated nuclear threats from others."

"So, since Big Brother won't give us money, we have to develop the spirit of self-reliance and not fear hardship or fatigue. We will do our own research. I don't believe we will be worse than others."

wow~
As soon as the leader finished speaking, warm applause broke out at the scene, and a strong fighting spirit appeared on the face of every participant.

After all, everyone now knows that if we want to have an atomic bomb, we can only rely on ourselves.

Since Big Brother says we can't make it, let's prove to them that we are no worse than them.

"But if we want to build our own atomic bomb, we can't just rely on passion to accomplish it. We also need the wisdom and hard work of everyone present. I can only be your steward and ensure your logistics work."

"Next, please speak freely and tell us what preparations are needed?"

After saying this, the leader looked expectantly at the participants below, his eyes extremely determined.

"Commander, if we want to conduct atomic research, we must first build a heavy water nuclear reactor, and building..."

"We still need a cyclotron..."

For a moment, everyone was very enthusiastic and spoke one after another.

The leader listened carefully to the needs of every researcher, and even took out a pen and paper to write down their needs one by one.

After everyone finished speaking, the leader looked at the researchers below and asked again with concern: "Anything else? Feel free to ask. I will do my best to find it for you."

To make an atomic bomb, the most important things are sufficient nuclear materials, equipment to purify them, and computers. We have discovered a large amount of uranium mines, and we have begun construction of our own professional preliminary uranium refining plant.

Before this, in order to further shorten the research and development time, various places have begun to adopt traditional methods to extract yellow cake.

However, to separate the uranium 235 from the yellowcake, further specialized equipment is needed.

The methods mainly used internationally now are gas diffusion separation and gas centrifugation separation.

The gas diffusion separation method requires thousands of diffusers to work in conjunction, and this method is not only inefficient but also extremely energy intensive.

As for the gas centrifugation method, it requires a high-performance centrifuge with a rotation speed of 2 times, which is also the method currently used by the boss and Eagle Sauce.

But even though the gas diffusion machine is already outdated, we cannot produce it with our current material technology, especially the separation membrane element technology. Big Brother regards it as the most top secret and does not give us any chance at all.

The energy consumption during the research process, especially the huge electricity consumption, is even more staggering.

Faced with so many difficulties, even the usually optimistic leader frowned slightly.

But from his current eyes, Yang Ning can already see our determination to independently develop an atomic bomb.
