Chapter 551 If you fall behind, you will be beaten
"????"
Outside the open space.
Looking at Qiao Caihong, his eyes instantly changed from daze to sharp.
Xu Yun, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was stunned.
What's going on?
To know.
Jinyintan, where Base 221 is located, is located in the central and western part of Xihai Province. From the perspective of location, it belongs to the absolute hinterland in the national territory.
As the main factory of the entire base, Branch 18 is located at the deepest part of the base.
So theoretically.
With such a well-defended and safe base, it is unlikely that any major accidents will occur.
Not to mention that Xu Yun is relatively familiar with this current period of history, and in his impression, there is no record of major changes in Base 221.
At most, there was an infestation of rats one year. More than 7,000 rats were killed throughout the base, and the corpses were burned because they were not voles and could not be eaten
Could it be an earthquake?
Or a giant sandstorm?
etc!
If you heard me right.
The sound coming from the speaker seems somewhat similar
Air raid alert?
Suddenly.
A flash of lightning flashed in Xu Yun's mind.
That’s right!
Although Base 221 has not encountered any huge natural disasters or armed attacks in its history, it has encountered that thing.
Could it be this time
Is that the reason?
And just as Xu Yun was thinking.
Ye Duzheng. No, it should be said that everyone within their sight also started their own actions.
For example, Xu Yun saw several patients who looked like he was recuperating and relaxing. At this time, they were also led towards the hospital by the accompanying medical staff.
There were also several sideline team members who were debugging a certain piece of equipment and quickly packed the equipment into a box.
As for the most outrageous picture, it appeared near the base of the weather Doppler radar:
Less than half a minute.
A large group of people appeared around the originally sparsely populated platform, like the Viet Cong. It looked like there were no less than twenty or thirty people.
I saw that they were extremely skilled in disassembling the equipment on the base, shielding it when it needed to be covered, and encapsulating it when it needed to be packaged.
This is not over yet.
After vacating an open space.
Another group of people showed up carrying quilts, clothes, stands and other items.
They directly raised the bracket to the ground, pulled the rope, and spread the clothes and quilt on top.
This technological area, which was originally used for recording meteorological data, instantly turned into a living area for drying clothes and quilts.
at the same time.
The operators who were inputting data at the console quickly wrapped themselves in white turbans and put on more shabby clothes, looking like simple peasant comrades.
Xu Yun:
"."
If Xu Yun had a God's perspective, he would discover another thing:
The area that is undergoing major changes at this time is far from just this small area of the main factory
Actually.
At present, the 'dress up game' is being played in almost all open-air areas in the entire 221 Base.
It is seventeen kilometers away from Xu Yun and the others in a straight line.
The construction site of the detonation test site.
Thorny——
A speeding jeep made a dry braking sound on the ground and swayed to the entrance of the construction site.
Then he waited for the car to stop.
Lao Guo hurriedly opened the car door and jumped out.
"."
Then Lao Guo looked around a few times.
After discovering the target he was looking for this time, he quickly walked towards the other party, and at the same time called the other party's name:
"Hey! Captain Su!"
Su Chengye was originally looking at a construction drawing, but when he heard Lao Guo's words, he quickly turned around and said in surprise:
"Guo Gong, why are you here?"
"I just happened to be dealing with some things in the Fourth Branch Factory. I came here first as it is close to here."
Lao Guo first calmed his breath, and then quickly said to Su Chengye:
"Captain Su, how is the situation at the construction site?"
Su Chengye heard this and showed a mouth full of broken teeth to Lao Guo. This was the "medal" he left behind during the Peninsula Battle. He looked very excited:
"Everything went very smoothly. Look there, the foundation pits have been laid for the first two work stations."
"Today we are going to apply a coating to these two workstations. It is said that it can retain the impact effect after cold blast to a certain number of decimal places. I really forgot what the name is, but our digging"
Just when Su Chengye was halfway through his report.
Lao Guo suddenly interrupted him:
"Captain Su, the plan has changed. All construction tasks today will be cancelled."
“The excavation equipment has arrived”
Su Chengye subconsciously finished the second half of what he said, and immediately he was startled:
"Ga?"
After a while.
Su Chengye's tone suddenly rose a few points:
"Guo Gong, what did you say?"
Lao Guo couldn't help but sigh and repeated:
"Captain Su, I mean to cancel all construction tasks today - and plan B will be launched immediately."
Hear the words Plan B.
The look of surprise that Su Chengye originally wanted to ask about the situation instantly turned into a look of deep solemnity.
I saw his hands clenched into fists subconsciously, and asked Lao Guo:
"Gong Guo, are those scoundrels coming?"
Lao Guo nodded, turned to look to the southeast, and explained:
"That's right, I received a notification from the comrades of the Fujian Provincial Observation Department twenty minutes ago that a U2 was discovered by our shore-based radar 11 minutes ago."
"Judging from the flight trajectory, U2 will pass over the base in about three hours."
"In order not to expose the true situation of our base, Plan B must be launched immediately - not only your construction site, but the entire base is now in action."
"."
Su Chengye was silent for a few seconds, and his teeth chattered a few times.
But at the end.
This muscular man still had no choice but to release his fist, with a hint of decadence in his eyes:
".Understood, I will inform other comrades now."
Seeing Su Chengye's expression of wanting to bite his cheeks into pieces, Lao Guo could only silently pat his shoulder.
Serves as base leadership.
Lao Guo's anger and helplessness about this matter were no less than that of Su Chengye.
to be honest.
Everyone understands the principle of lying on your back and trying your best.
But in all fairness.
Watching others showing off their power in the sky above their own homes but being unable to do anything about it, they even have to accompany the other party to ‘act’ in embarrassment.
This feeling of humiliation cannot be suppressed by relying on chicken soup for the soul.
Take today’s construction site as an example.
What is going to be applied at the construction site today is a special high-temperature silicone paint, which is expensive to make and has harsh storage conditions.
Without this coating, shock wave collection during the cold explosion phase would be greatly hindered.
But due to existing preservation technology.
This kind of paint has a very short shelf life in liquid form and must be applied on the same day it is made. It will become ineffective if it exceeds six hours.
Now the U2 reconnaissance plane is about to arrive over the base. No one knows how many times it will circle around, let alone whether it will pretend to fly by and come back again for a surprise attack.
Therefore, the base will only allow various departments to resume operations after receiving a return notice from the Fujian Provincial Reconnaissance Department.
And this way.
This kind of coating, which the chemical industry department spends a lot of money to produce, will inevitably be completely scrapped.
Not to mention other equipment, personnel and morale, which will also suffer varying degrees of wear and tear.
This is just a small detonation test site, and there are countless places like this in the entire base.
Think of this.
Lao Guo couldn't help but look up at the sky again and murmured:
"U2."
"It is indeed U2."
at the same time.
Xu Yun, who was taken to a hidden building by Qiao Caihong, also felt enlightened in his heart.
After entering the room.
Seeing that everyone had almost calmed down, he asked Ye Duzheng and Qiao Caihong about the cause of the current situation.
Although what Ye Duzheng and Qiao Caihong said was [Factory 221 has a national key project, so it has been targeted by some, and reconnaissance planes often fly over for reconnaissance, so every time the base must be kept confidential].
But for a time traveler like Xu Yun who is familiar with current history, these words cannot fool him at all.
Basically at the same time Ye Duzheng finished speaking.
He immediately realized who the real ‘protagonist’ of the incident was:
U2 reconnaissance aircraft.
This was exactly "that thing" that I had guessed before.
Mentioned a long time ago.
For various reasons.
The people across the sea are not ignorant of the rabbits' development of nuclear weapons.
Whether it was the national search for uranium ore, the woolly bears' subsequent assistance, or the own needs of a populous country, the rabbits were destined to develop atomic bombs.
So the development of nuclear weapons itself is no secret.
Just as everyone knows that Internet article authors must have archived manuscripts, what is really doubtful is not the archived manuscripts themselves, but their quantity.
Is it a chapter?
Five chapters?
Or ten chapters?
The same principle applies to the development of nuclear weapons back then.
After the furry bear experts evacuated.
The nuclear program facing Rabbit across the sea is actually not particularly clear.
Their progress in developing Rabbit nuclear weapons is largely based on speculation.
For example, mentioned before.
The reconnaissance satellite across the sea actually obtained pictures of the Lop Nur base, which is also the Malan base, very early on.
But they didn't recognize it at all as a detonation test site. Instead, they judged it to be a satellite launcher.
According to various information disclosed in later generations, Hai Dui’s current understanding of the rabbits’ progress is roughly as follows:
They already know that the Rabbits are already mining uranium and building uranium enrichment plants, and believe that the first nuclear reactor will be nearly complete by the end of this year, which will provide plutonium in 1962.
From this, the rabbits will have a plutonium bomb, test it in about five years, and have a small atomic bomb in six years.
Objectively speaking.
This judgment is actually very different from the true process of history, and the errors and omissions are very serious.
But the problem is
Even if it's a plutonium bomb, isn't it still an atomic bomb?
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for the other side of the sea to give up tracking the intelligence.
After all, being bad is one thing, being stupid is another.
At that time, it was also analyzed across the sea that the area where the rabbits were experimenting was 100% in the northwest area, but the depth of the places in question was really far away.
In addition, the reconnaissance satellites these days have just been born, the accuracy of taking pictures is quite high, and they cannot stay in the sky for long.
Therefore, the only reconnaissance method that can be relied on across the sea is——
U2 reconnaissance aircraft.
Tell the truth.
Even from the opponent's perspective, U2 is indeed a magical machine that can be called black technology.
It was born in 1956 and was developed and manufactured by Lockheed across the sea.
It has a long and slender body, an amazing wingspan, and its whole body is painted black, resembling a big black bird.
However, the spare wheel often falls off due to design issues, so when taking off, the tower will often say "no tires" as a reminder.
In the 1960s, it could clearly see the headlines in newspapers in ground photos taken at an altitude of 15,000 meters
On one mission, the photos taken can fill a house.
Even in 2023 when Xu Yun traveled through time.
The U2 reconnaissance aircraft is still in service and has been pushing back its retirement date.
At that time, in order to detect the situation of the rabbits.
A Black Cat squadron was specially set up at a sensitive location across the sea, and the range of the reconnaissance aircraft was just enough for a round trip.
Ever since.
over a long period of time.
When the U2 reconnaissance plane has nothing to do, it will go for a walk in the depths of the desert to see if the rabbits are secretly doing anything.
At the same time, it was very helpless.
The U2 reconnaissance aircraft has an ultimate flight altitude of 24,000 meters and can even reach an extreme flight altitude of more than 27,000 meters.
In this era, even Mao Xiong’s MiG-17 fighter jet can only fly to 13,000 meters.
So after U2 came out.
It began to fly into the airspace of other countries unscrupulously, recklessly disregarding the rules.
So at this time.
Base 221, Malan Base and Factory 504 can only link up with the reconnaissance department of Fujian Province for a long time as a precaution.
Once shore-based radar detects U2 taking off.
Several major bases will start ‘acting’ immediately:
Put away the hidden facilities and equipment, drive out all the cargo vehicles, dry quilts or wrap grains in the open space, etc.
Of course.
The rabbits also inherited some guerrilla warfare traditions during this period and deliberately set up mazes in many places:
For example, when building an empty shell base somewhere in the desert, it 'happens' that some equipment was discovered by U2 during transportation
These actors would even take the initiative to hide behind some rocks, pretending to be 'accidentally' captured by the camera.
But overall.
Every time he was forced to act, the atmosphere in the major bases was still dominated by anger and helplessness.
After a while.
Zheng Tao, Zhou Shaoping and several sideline team members were also arranged in this room - after all, they are all college students graduated from top universities, and many of them are talents with a background in nuclear engineering.
There are not many people engaged in nuclear engineering in China these days, so it is impossible to establish an image file for these students across the sea.
If they were photographed, it would be easy to reveal their flaws - what would a nuclear engineering machine factory do?
"Damn it!"
After entering the house.
Zhou Shaoping walked to the wall angrily and hammered the wall hard:
"These bastards are so damn haunting. They come here every once in a while. It's endless, right?"
Zheng Tao on the side couldn't help but walked quickly to him when he saw this, patted his friend on the shoulder, and comforted:
"Okay, Lao Zhou, calm down."
"You have to think about it this way, the only people across the sea can fly reconnaissance planes to cause trouble. Isn't this considered progress?"
"If the Tatar dynasty had been left alone, the warships would have sailed to the mouth of Dagong by now."
Zhou Shaoping's chest was still heaving heavily, and his other hand was firmly grasping the corner of the nearest table, as if his fingers were about to dig into it:
"I am pure anger!"
"Why are there such disgusting people in this world? It is obviously our own territory, why is he, an outsider, showing off his power here?"
"You want to be the world's policeman and defend justice yourself. Do you have any shame in using the name of a policeman to do things like thieves and robbers?"
I heard the words ‘own home’.
Everyone at the scene could not help but fall into silence.
indeed.
To put it bluntly, this is my home
Even a fly flying in his own house would be a bit disturbing, let alone a reconnaissance plane.
However, when everyone was silent.
Suddenly a long but calm voice sounded in the room:
"Because other countries are stronger than ours, they will be beaten if they fall behind. Weak countries have no diplomacy. This is an eternal truth."
"?!"
Zhou Shaoping was suddenly startled and subconsciously looked towards the person who made the sound.
I only see this moment.
Xu Yun was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at them intently:
"Comrades, you are all top students who have gone to college. You should be able to understand what I mean."
"Or to be precise, since 1840, more than a hundred years ago, what you call 'my family' has best explained the above sentence with pain."
"The word dignity is never obtained by others' charity, let alone by your asking."
Say it.
Xu Yun raised his right hand with great effort, pointed out the window, and asked Zhou Shaoping:
"Mr. Zhou, cough, Comrade Shaoping, do you think the reconnaissance plane showing off its power above our heads is outrageous?"
Zhou Shaoping was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
But Xu Yun smiled.
The grin on his lips even looked a little scary against the bandage:
"Then let me tell you, something even more rampant than this will happen in the future."
Speaking of which.
Xu Yun couldn't help but have a trace of recollection in his eyes, and said slowly:
"Can you imagine that one day, a diplomat who graduated from a prestigious school, has rich knowledge, and speaks good English will be rejected by the United Nations?"
"He could only sit helplessly on the bench in his suit, with his hands crossed, his head lowered and silent."
"A few days later, his hometown was bombed indiscriminately, and thousands of his compatriots died."
"."
Ye Duzheng, who had been silent for a while, hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Comrade Han Li, are you talking about Gu Weijun?"
Xu Yun shook his head:
"No, it's just my imagination."
In this day and age.
Gu Weijun's decision at the Paris Peace Conference is widely known.
But what few people, or perhaps no one in this era, knows is this.
Just one hundred years after Gu Weijun refused to sign.
Something more poignant than what Gu Weijun had experienced would happen on earth.
But that incident had nothing to do with rabbits, but another small country.
The protagonist of the incident was named Bashar Jaafari. A photo from that year caused countless people to become silent.
At that time, Bashar Jaafari bravely fought with the crowd and spoke out for his motherland again and again.
He accused some countries of aggression, but just as he was making impassioned speeches, the representatives of the three countries he accused had already turned around and left the meeting.
Four days later.
His country was hit by missiles, causing countless casualties.
Compared with what happened to Bashar Jaafari, the U2 in front of us is really nothing.
Then Xu Yun paused and looked around.
Then the smile on his face became even brighter and he spoke again:
"By the way, there's also TV. Everyone must have seen this thing, right? A TV station was just established in China a few years ago."
"Then can you imagine such a scene?"
"You are a hard-working worker. After working hard all your life, you finally have a new house, a virtuous wife, and a pair of lovely children."
"As a result, you just got off work one day and received a call in the mail room. A very 'kind' sound came from the phone - [So-and-so, right? Hello, twenty seconds later. Your home will be attacked by missiles, and the live TV broadcast right now is the picture of your home]"
"You turned your head subconsciously and found an image of your home on the TV. In the image, your wife was washing clothes on the balcony, and a pair of children were playing with building blocks. Then twenty seconds later, a missile fell. The most precious thing in your life was Everything is transformed before your eyes"
Bang——
Xu Yun didn't finish his words.
Qian Bingqiong on the side punched the table hard.
This little old man, who had always been smiling from the moment they met, now looked so gloomy that it was terrifying.
In fact, it's not just Qian Bingqiong.
Everyone in this room seemed to have a fire burning in their eyes at this time.
to be honest.
The first thing Xu Yun described, they didn't know if it would happen.
But the second thing.
At least in everyone's perception, some people can actually do it.
And if such a scene happened to me or my compatriots.
Think of this.
Qian Bingqiong and others couldn't help but shudder while being shocked and angry.
After a while.
Zhou Shaoping suddenly took a deep breath and looked at Xu Yun seriously:
"Comrade Han Li, maybe one day, this kind of thing will happen."
"But I swear, I will absolutely, absolutely, never let what you said happen to our compatriots!"
Zhou Shaoping emphasized the absolute three times in his words, which shows his firmness of mind.
Seeing that Zhou Shaoping had become relatively calm, Xu Yun couldn't help but smile and prepared to say something more.
But before he spoke.
Buzz buzz——
From a certain direction outside the house, there was suddenly a very low vibration sound.
The frequency of this sound is extremely annoying, how can I put it
Xu Yun subconsciously thought of those street bombing gangs in later generations.
But soon.
He realized something again and turned to look outside the house.
Sure enough.
The east side of the building at this time.
Within the field of vision, there was a black plane flying slowly towards the base.
It can also be seen from the vibration volume and viewing distance.
The plane apparently lowered its altitude and was playing some nasty harassment game to make its presence known.
And beneath this noise.
Everyone in the room, or in the base, could only remain silent.
Some of them even forced a smile and pretended to chat, because they knew the power of the U2 camera.
This time, U2 circled the sky twice before turning around and leaving.
At the same time before leaving completely.
It also lowered its height again and dropped some leaflets whose contents were unknown but whose contents were obvious at a glance.
After U2's vision disappears.
The room was silent for several minutes before Qiao Caihong couldn't help but look at Ye Duzheng and asked:
"Director Ye, are our current fighter jets really unable to shoot down the reconnaissance plane?"
Ye Duzheng shook his head when he heard this and sighed:
"There is absolutely no way. We...not to mention that our factory is not qualified to ask comrades from the Air Force to take action, even if the Air Force sends fighter jets"
"Let's put it this way, our domestic J-6 currently only flies at an altitude of 18,000 meters, but the U-2 can easily increase it to 27,000 meters."
"So let alone fighter jets, there is currently no technology in China that can shoot down U2 - otherwise, I would have given Comrade Sun Junren the ax that Comrade Sun Junren was chewing on that was given to him by his mentor Comrade You Lai and that Maxwell used. Chew it, it’s still the kind that you don’t even wash!”
Speaking of which.
Ye Duzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and said with emotion:
"If someone in China can shoot down U2, I'm afraid even the international community will be excited for a long time."
Hear this.
Qiao Caihong couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
However, just when she changed her mood forcefully and was about to ask Ye Duzheng if she could leave the house.
A voice suddenly sounded in her ears:
"It's not impossible if we don't fight U2" (End of Chapter)
