Chapter 665 The first small nuclear test (Part 2)

"Gu Gu Gu——"

Looking at the group of chickens clucking around him, Xu Yun's expression seemed calm.

Except for these dozen chickens at this time.

Comrade Zhang and others kept moving rabbits, ducks and even turtles out.

There is no way, these are all basic links that must be matched for nuclear testing.

After all, unlike later generations, in the era when Xu Yun traveled back in time, any country that secretly conducted a nuclear test would be locked in its location within three minutes, and satellites would fly over to collect parameters in ten minutes.

Large-scale nuclear tests these days mainly rely on seismic wave monitoring. Only Haidian, Mao Xiong, Neon and a few European countries are capable of doing this.

And even for the two big gangsters Haidian Duan and Mao Xiong, it takes about half a day for the monitoring results to be released.

The two superpowers are like this, let alone the poor rabbits.

If rabbits these days want to test the lethality of nuclear weapons, they can only rely on various living reference objects.

Actually.

In the original history, in addition to chickens and ducks, rabbits also included monkeys and even military dogs.

Lu Guangda once mentioned in his memoirs that military dogs are the only experimental specimens that can stay in place without being caged. At that time, many soldiers shed tears while watching the military dogs settle down.

Xu Yun was bitten by a dog once when he was a child, so he was not very fond of most dogs, but military dogs were an exception.

Fortunately, with the emergence of Xu Yun, the rabbits now have linear vibration detection components, so there is no need to use military dogs as reference objects.

Of course.

Military dogs do not need to be sacrificed, but those chickens, ducks and rabbits still cannot escape this disaster.

"Hey, this chicken is so tough!"

Looking at the big cock flapping in the cage, Comrade Zhang couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth:

"Looking at this look, I guess I've had him for two and a half years, right?"

"Yeah, almost."

Lu Guangda nodded when he heard this, and explained with a smile:

"After all, these are live birds prepared for nuclear testing, and high vitality must be one of the main requirements."

"These chickens are all carefully selected by the organization as king chickens, and they are all varieties of Wenshang Luhua chickens from Haidai Province."

Comrade Zhang raised his eyebrows:

"Reed chicken? This is a good thing, Guangda. After the test, can these chickens be used?"

"no!"

Before Comrade Zhang finished speaking, Lu Guangda guessed what he was thinking and shook his head decisively:

"There is no way - nuclear tests contain nuclear radiation. If these chickens were eaten by the human body, it would not be as simple as being dizzy and dizzy."

"These samples must be collected and transported back to the Atomic Energy Institute for radioactive element analysis. After the analysis is completed, they will be incinerated. Lao Zhang, you have to explain this to the comrades below. Don't let your appetite interfere with your work. ."

Lu Guangda's expression was serious. Comrade Zhang's words made him realize an oversight in the organization's arrangement - the organization's placement plan for these experimental live birds was too gentle and did not clarify the radiation hazards related to science popularization.

Therefore, he urgently patched up Comrade Zhang and asked him to implement the relevant arrangements.

Lu Guangda did not know that his action saved the lives of several soldiers.

In the original history, the rabbits conducted a small nuclear explosion experiment one year and seven months later. At that time, several soldiers were checking the explosion site and found a chicken with no obvious trauma, so they secretly hid it and brought it back. The camp was divided.

During the meal sharing process, the instructor of their company also discovered this situation, but did not stop it due to insufficient knowledge of nuclear radiation.

In the end, several soldiers suffered from severe diarrhea and vomiting within a few days. In the end, four died of radiation sickness due to ineffective treatment.

After learning about this situation, the instructor also committed suicide out of guilt.

no way.

Rabbits these days are really scared of poverty and are reluctant to throw away anything.

Fortunately, this time, thanks to the instigation of Xu Yun's little butterfly wings, Comrade Zhang, who had not appeared at the nuclear explosion site, also came to the scene. By chance, Lu Guangda "reinforced" his request again.

Then at Lu Guangda's insistence.

Comrade Zhang once again conveyed the requirement of prohibiting private possession of experimental live birds on the spot, and then led the team to continue unloading the goods.

This time in addition to the various live birds brought by Lu Guangda.

The Malan base has also prepared some auxiliary reference objects, such as mortars, wheels, abandoned cart baskets, etc.

Among them, there are two main reference objects with the largest volume, namely a train carriage and a damaged airplane.

Xu Yun then asked Mou Fangdong to push his wheelchair to the side of the plane, took a few glances, and said to Comrade Zhang uncertainly:

"Comrade Zhang, this looks like a P-40 fighter jet?"

"That's right."

Comrade Zhang nodded, strode to the side of the plane and knocked a few times:

"This was the P40 that was the most widely equipped in the air force aiding China at that time. It was shot down by our gunners in a later battle and looked like this."

"In addition, this carriage was also left behind by someone when they evacuated south. To be precise, the equipment for our experiment was all provided by that generous logistics leader."

The corners of Xu Yun's mouth twitched a few times:

"."

As expected of a well-known domestic logistics company

The equipment Comrade Zhang brought down this time is mainly used to observe the physical impact of nuclear explosions. With the linear oscillation detection element, we can have a clear preliminary understanding of the power of the atomic bomb in macro and numerical terms - the reason why it is said to be preliminary , mainly because the yield of this experiment was too small.

Then with the cooperation of a group of soldiers.

The P40 fighter jet was placed on a flat ground 100 meters from the center of the explosion, and the carriage was placed 700 meters to the south.

At the same time, several cages of chickens and ducks were placed in the fighter jets and carriages to initially simulate pilots and passengers.

10:20 am.

The explosive chief engineer of the Malan base, Murong En, who was not named Murong, walked quickly to Comrade Zhang and Lu Guangda:

"Report to the two leaders that live birds, linear vibration detection components and various reference objects are ready."

Lu Guangda nodded slightly and asked again:

"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Mu. Have you dug the hole to place the data receiver of the linear oscillation detection element?"

"It's dug, the depth is three meters."

"Where's the cable?"

"There are nine in total, and they are arranged according to the arrangement of 5112."

Lu Guangda's expression relaxed.

Then he personally took several assistants to check various key nodes and confirmed that everything was correct before returning to the original place:

"Comrade Zhang, everything is correct, the experimental nuclear bomb can be installed."

Experimental nuclear bomb.

Hear these words.

Swish——

The expressions of everyone present instantly became serious, and even the air became a little thicker.

Comrade Zhang then summoned the Korean political commissar from the base and said:

"Old Han, please take your comrades to the bunker first. Guangda and I will arrive later."

Political Commissar Han opened his mouth, as if he wanted to persuade Comrade Zhang to leave the scene, but he gave up the idea after meeting Comrade Zhang's hawk-like eyes:

"yes!"

Lu Guangda watched this scene quietly from the side, and also did not speak to persuade.

The moment Comrade Zhang expressed his intention to come to the nuclear explosion site, he knew that the person in charge of the Malan base would definitely act with him.

Ten minutes passed.

Political Commissar Han took a group of soldiers and left the scene in a transport vehicle.

After the convoy gradually disappeared into the dust, Lu Guangda walked to the jeep and took off several sets of protective clothing from the car.

Of course.

It's said to be protective clothing, but it's actually just a white coat and a plastic mask.

Then Lu Guangda distributed several sets of protective clothing to everyone, including Xu Yun.

"."

Do not know why.

Looking at the white coat wrapped around him, Xu Yun suddenly felt like he had traveled to a barber shop to get a haircut.

After everything is ready.

Lu Guangda came to the back of another transport truck with a serious face, took out a key from his body, and opened the door.

Crunch——

At the same time as the door opened, several soldiers in fine clothes quickly climbed into the car and took out a small iron box with dimensions of 0.5X0.3X0.3 meters.

Comrade Zhang came forward and took a few glances, then raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"Guangda, is this the only nuclear bomb you experimented with? Are the urns that Xiao Xu burned into ashes bigger than this?"

Xu Yun:

"?!"

Lu Guangda smiled calmly and explained:

"Yes, it's that big. After all, atomic bombs don't rely on the power of explosives."

"Like the little boy and the fat man who fell into the neon lights, they were only about one meter or two meters in size - this was because the craftsmanship at that time was relatively primitive."

"The yield of our experiment this time is very small, so the volume will naturally not be much larger."

Comrade Zhang thought for a few seconds, then shook his head:

"I don't believe it, unless you throw it across the sea again and show it to me in Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

Lu Guangda:

"."

Then Comrade Lu Guangda and Zhang personally took the small iron box to the center of the explosion and began to place the experimental nuclear bomb.

The center of the explosion is at the lowest point in the entire area. If a complete atomic bomb is tested, a tower will be built here with iron frames.

But as Lu Guangda said.

The yield of the nuclear bomb they tested this time was very small. The mass of enriched uranium was only 50 grams, which was one percent of the preset complete atomic bomb.

The purpose of this experiment is mainly to collect parameters, observe CL20 explosives and verify the purity of enriched uranium, so the required detonation conditions are naturally not that complicated.

Click——

After arriving on the platform where Bakuxinchu was dug up.

Lu Guangda opened the iron box cautiously but decisively.

Click——

As the iron box was opened, the appearance of the protagonist inside the box also appeared in front of everyone:

This is a small steel ball the size of a basketball, with a few holes for plugging wires on the outside. At first glance, there is nothing special about it.

The only special thing is that when I saw this little basketball-like ball, a few roosters around me started clucking again, as fast as if they were rapping.

Then Lu Guangda gently placed the ball in the center of the platform and explained to everyone:

"Comrade Zhang, this is the small nuclear bomb we are testing."

"The Lop Nur sandy land where our Malan base is located stretches as far as the eye can see. According to the book "Book of Changes", the land is Kun, while Qian is male and Kun is female, so this experimental nuclear bomb was named Miss Kun."

"It has a small ball of enriched uranium placed inside, and the outside of the ball is CL20 detonating powder. A flammable piece of paper containing saltpeter is added between the two, called black saltpeter paper."

"The outside is covered with an alloy powder to form a protective layer to prevent radiation leakage. The winding structure of this powder is similar to the ancient Chinese musical instrument bronze cymbal, so it is also called cymbal powder."

"With the protection of these structures, it is not very dangerous for us to come into direct contact with nuclear bombs - but to be on the safe side it is better to wear protective clothing."

Comrade Zhang nodded understandingly.

Then Lu Guangda's eyes narrowed again and he took out another set of equipment similar to later remote controls from the box.

When facing this set of equipment, Lu Guangda's expression became much more cautious.

"Comrades."

Lu Guangda held the device in his hand and slowly explained:

"I said just now that our experiment this time is just a small-scale test explosion, and the specifications are definitely far from the final actual explosion."

"For example, the final nuclear explosion will be a radio detonation, which is ignition by radio-activated detonation cable."

"But our conditions and costs are relatively limited today, so the radio method is naturally not available, and it is our detonation trigger this time."

With that said, Lu Guangda showed off the equipment in his hand and said:

"A forty-minute countdown device."

The people staying at the scene may have different knowledge bases, but their IQs are not low. Everyone, including the guard Mou Fangdong, understood what Lu Guangda meant:

They must complete the process of evacuating, driving to the bunker four kilometers away, and opening the bunker into the safe area within forty minutes.

This time seems to be plenty, but various accidents may occur at any time.

For example, a sandstorm suddenly breaks out, the car stalls while driving, or even the countdown device explodes in advance.

Then Lu Guangda looked serious and said to Xu Yun and Comrade Zhang:

"Xiao Xu, Comrade Zhang, all of you go to the car and stand by, and keep the car running."

"Comrade Han Sheng and I will stay on site to debug the equipment. Once the countdown equipment is activated, we will immediately return to the car and rush to the bunker together!"

Lu Guangda didn't say anything like "you go first". He knew very well that such words would be in vain.

Instead of wasting a few minutes on meaningless arguments about giving and giving, it would be better to let people with physical disabilities such as Xu Yun get back to the car and wait, and together we can get to the bunker as efficiently as possible.

Comrade Zhang and Xu Yun also understood Lu Guangda's thoughts, so they nodded in unison:

"no problem."

Then everyone pushed Xu Yun's wheelchair to the jeep quickly, and it took a few minutes to get in position and start the car.

Lu Guangda and another engineer named Wang Hansheng stayed in Explosion Center and began the final debugging.

"Line 3 takes here."

"Director Lu, can you give me the screwdriver so I can reinforce it?"

"Give me more glue."

ten minutes later.

Lu Guangda turned around to confirm that all the cars were running, and then suddenly connected the last line.

Click——

As Line A was connected, the countdown device also entered the starting state.

"Walk!"

Lu Guangda pulled Wang Hansheng up, and the two of them strode towards the motorcade.

At this time, Comrade Zhang and others had already opened the car door, and saw Lu Guangda rushing into the car as smoothly as a crow brother jumping into the car with a shotgun:

"Drive! Go to the bunker!"

Wuchiwuchi——

The comrade driver stepped on the accelerator hard, and the two cars left the scene instantly like sharp arrows.

The roaring jeep rolled up bursts of smoke and dust in the vast Gobi Desert. If a drone could accompany it to take pictures at this time, the picture would definitely look very spectacular.

ten minutes later.

Stab——

Following a handsome drift, the two jeeps stopped at the edge of a mountain almost at the same time.

"get off!"

Following Lu Guangda's order.

Everyone, including the driver, jumped out of the car. Xu Yun was also lifted out of the car with the assistance of Mou Fangdong and another capital special guard.

Comrade Zhang skillfully walked to a certain side of the mountain, took out a key from his body and opened a secret door.

This secret door is about two meters wide, and the internal stairs lead directly to the underground - this is what Lu Guangda and others call the bunker.

Then the group of people walked into the passage quickly but without panic. Every three or five meters, Comrade Zhang's guards would pull a capped iron gate or iron plate from a certain position on the stairs. .

A few minutes later.

Lu Guangda and others successfully reached the deepest part of the bunker. Xu Yun made a rough estimate and found that it was about twelve or thirteen meters from the ground.

With this depth and those iron plates blocking it, it's really very stable.

You know, this bunker is only specially designed for small-scale experiments. The bunker for the final stage of the future atomic bomb explosion will be thirty kilometers away.

Then Xu Yun and others walked along the passage for a while, and formally met in an open basement with the comrades who had left first.

"Xiao Shen."

Comrade Zhang asked Shen Yuanfu while drinking the boiled water poured by political commissar Han:

"How long does it take for the timing device to detonate?"

Shen Yuanfu glanced at the watch in his hand. It was a trophy he captured during the Peninsular War. He kept it with him after getting permission from the chief:

"About seventeen minutes more."

Comrade Zhang nodded slightly.

The entire process took twenty-three minutes, which was neither fast nor slow - after all, Xu Yun was such a 'burden'.

Perhaps it was because of the approaching experimental nuclear bomb explosion.

In the following time, no one spoke much, but observed the external situation through the only camera in the basement that recorded the ground conditions.

seventeen minutes

fifteen minutes

eleven minutes

Six minutes.

Two minutes.

Time passed slowly under everyone's attention. When Lu Guangda and others silently counted to one, a subtle but obvious shaking suddenly came from the basement.

at the same time.

On the black and white picture connected to the camera, a small smoke ball suddenly appeared.

For some reason, Xu Yun suddenly had a sentence in his mind:

It's so cute even though it's small

However, before these saucy words floated in Xu Yun's mind for five seconds, a burst of applause suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Okay, Miss Kun exploded!"
