Chapter 793 The Flower of Hope Blooming in the Sea of Death (Part 2)
"Xiao Xu, wake up, we're at the headquarters."
Lao Guo's voice combined with the pushing feeling on the back when the jeep brakes brought Xu Yun back to reality from his hazy state.
Then he stretched hard and yawned:
"Aha."
Lao Guo, who was in the driver's seat, also took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand regardless of whether his hands were clean or not. He also looked a little tired.
no way.
Whether Lao Guo or Xu Yun, they basically didn't get much rest in the past few days.
Two weeks ago, on September 4, the organization officially made the decision to transport the experimental atomic bomb from Base 221 to the test site.
In response to a series of complex situations, in order to ensure the smooth conduct of the nuclear test, the organization has made sufficient preparations.
On the day after the instruction was issued, in order to further strengthen the leadership of safety and confidentiality work, the Ministry of General Affairs and Security established the Joint Office for Safety, Security and Confidentiality of the First Nuclear Test, which consists of four groups: secretary, security, confidentiality and transportation.
The main task of the transportation team is to transport the nuclear bomb to the test site safely and confidentially until it is installed on the test tower and detonated safely.
This task sounds simple, but in practice it is very difficult.
The whole process must not only prevent the enemy from destroying and stealing secrets, but more importantly, there are also technical requirements, such as how to prevent radioactive leakage, and how to ensure that temperature, humidity, vibration, etc. are within the standard safety factor range?
Moreover, the nuclear bomb manufacturing plant is thousands of kilometers away from the test base, so the staff involved were not sure what problems they would encounter during transportation.
Therefore, Xu Yun, a half-barrel oil man who barely understood nuclear testing, was promoted and worked with Lao Guo, Lu Guangda and others to formulate specific regulations for these staff members.
In the end, after comprehensive consideration by various departments, everyone unanimously agreed to transport the atomic bomb in separate packages.
Among them, the key core components of the atomic bomb, the uranium ball and the ignition neutron source, were transported by air in advance. These core components were personally escorted by the second-in-command of the Second Machinery Department and a deputy director of the Ninth Academy, and took a modified Illuminator from Xining. The -14 transport plane flew to Zhuzhou Malan Airport, where it was unloaded and directly loaded onto a helicopter and transported to the Lop Nur nuclear test site area.
The parts of the atomic bomb that do not have nuclear explosive devices are transported overland by train. The transportation train is a special train. Each carriage is equipped with communication equipment. The coal used on the special train is sieved to prevent it from being taken out of the coal mine. Explosives such as detonators that did not go off were mixed in the coal.
In addition, the hammers used by train inspectors along the route have been replaced with special copper hammers to prevent sparks from being produced when hitting the train wheels. All high-voltage lines across the railway along the special train must be powered off before the train passes to avoid accidents caused by static electricity and ensure The special train operates safely.
In addition, all the crossings the train passes are locked, and the special train carriages are marked with the "Triangle Seven" symbol (a red triangle with the character 7 written inside). Railway personnel can tell at a glance that this is the highest-level military special train, but various stations and even railway headquarters But they don't know what the special train is transporting.
This is not over yet. When the atomic bomb was loaded into the truck, extraordinary security measures were taken to prevent it from being inserted with a needle or splashed with water:
On the outside are the officers and soldiers of the 221 Factory Guard Group who are responsible for guarding, with one post every ten steps and one sentry every five steps. In the middle, there are always patrols by hats, motorcycle teams and cavalry teams. On the inner layer, specially selected workers and soldiers from the 221 Factory are responsible for transporting products. Technical personnel.
Since starting the car, Xu Yun and Lao Guo have been staying in the cab.
In order to ensure the absolute safety of the special train along the way, sentries were set up every 25 meters along the railway during transportation. PLA soldiers also patrolled the railway day and night, and a large number of militiamen were deployed outside.
Every crossing and platform the special train passes is guarded step by step by specialized railway police and local public security personnel. Specialized guards are assigned to every culvert and bridge it passes.
During the whole process, considering that the Bear Man was familiar with this area, the Rabbits also prepared another disguised transport vehicle, with a large number of expert stand-ins arranged on the vehicle, even Xu Yun was no exception - of course, Xu Yun's It's easier to be a substitute. Just find someone to sit in a wheelchair and then tie it up with bandages to make a mummy.
It took Xu Yun and others a full seven days to successfully escort the atomic bomb to the Malan base.
During this period, he and Lao Guo hardly closed their eyes. There was even a comrade in the expert team who suffered a myocardial infarction due to overwork. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and his life was saved.
Due to this situation and the fact that Xu Yun himself was still paralyzed, he had to squint almost every once in a while.
Later, with the assistance of guards Mou Fangdong and Lao Guo, Xu Yun got out of the car smoothly.
"Comrade You Lai, Xiao Xu!"
As soon as Xu Yun's wheelchair landed, several figures walked towards him:
"Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Yun was originally a little confused because he had just woken up. After seeing this person, he straightened up quickly:
"Hello, Chief!"
That's right.
Now that the Rabbits are broke, Xu Yun has made amazing achievements but cannot get any reward. The Rabbits can only use people to express their sincerity.
"Chief!"
While Xu Yun was talking to the writer and others, Lao Guo also walked over quickly:
"Reporting to the chief, we have just received the news from Comrade Jilin. Everything at the main control station is ready. Please give instructions to the chief!"
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the nuclear experiment this time, the rabbits set up a total of three points in the experimental area.
The first point is the test explosion site where the atomic bomb and tower are located, which is the so-called explosion core.
The second point is the main control station, located under the ground 25 kilometers away from the center of the explosion.
The main control station is mainly responsible for the starting process of the atomic bomb. To put it bluntly, it is responsible for pressing the switch.
This underground facility was built by Ge Shuping of the 19th Institute and was code-named 'Room 12'. There were seven radio lines installed in the room, which could directly guide the detonation of the atomic bomb.
The third point is the Baiyungang command post where Xu Yun and the writer are located. It is located by the Kongque River, surrounded by a large number of red willows, and is 60 kilometers away from the center of the explosion.
Follow prior planning.
A chemical defense team of 20 people will be arranged in the main control station. The nature of this team is somewhat similar to a death squad. They will rush to the center of the explosion immediately after the nuclear explosion to collect nuclear explosion data.
Then the headquarters will dispatch a large force of hundreds of people to the scene to collect dust and radioactive residues, plus process and search for various samples after the nuclear explosion.
The former's goals tend to be more fixed-point, while the latter is carpet scanning.
Then under the guidance of Lao Guo.
The group quickly entered the core area of the command post, a large open-air shed.
Then everyone stood in a row in front of the writer like a troop reporting. Li Jue held a pamphlet in his hand and said:
"Comrades, we are now very close to the scheduled time for the detonation of the atomic bomb. Now, in accordance with the relevant regulations of the Joint Office of Nuclear Test Safety, Security and Secrecy, I will conduct the final summary of the pre-nuclear explosion links."
"The content of this summary will be included in the archives as nuclear experiment minutes. The first unit is the weather forecast team, Comrade Ye Duzheng, has the breath data been collected and verified?"
Hearing Li Jue's words.
Ye Duzheng, who was standing on the far left, suddenly had a serious expression:
"Report to the factory director that the meteorological data is consistent with the situation simulated a few days ago. The report is completed!"
Li Jue nodded and checked the weather data column.
The links he confirmed at this time have been verified countless times. To put it bluntly, if there were any problems in any link, today's nuclear explosion plan would not be able to advance to this point, but this qualitative process still needs to be carried out.
Just like the handprint in Xiaogang Village back then, it was not only to clarify responsibilities, but also to be a witness.
Then Li Jue paused and continued;
"The second unit, surveying team, Comrade Zhang Bingcheng, are the surveying vehicles, equipment, and personnel ready?"
The person who answered Li Jue's question this time was a dark-skinned soldier. He immediately replied:
"Reporting to the head, all personnel and equipment of the measurement module are in place, the report is completed!"
"Decontamination Team."
"."
After a few minutes.
Li Jue put down the pen in his hand, came to the writer with a serious expression, and handed over the booklet:
"Reporting to the leader, the nuclear test minutes have been entered and there are no problems in all aspects. Please give instructions to the leader!"
The leader who was always smiling on weekdays also looked very serious at this time. Hearing this, he took the pamphlet and read it carefully, and then said to Li Jue:
"Comrade Li Jue, please contact the capital and tell me that Miss Qiu has braided her hair, entered the upper chamber, and will be here at midnight."
Li Jue nodded:
"Understood."
Mentioned earlier.
In order to keep the atomic bomb secret, the rabbits once set up a very special set of code words.
For example, the platform where the atomic bomb is installed is called the "dressing table", and the cable connecting the pyrotechnics is as long as hair and is called the "braid"; the assembly of the atomic bomb is called "dressing", and the password of the atomic bomb assembly workshop is "living room"; The working platform on the tower is "live in the room"; the weather code is "blood pressure"; the detonation time is "zero hour".
As for Miss Qiu, she naturally refers to Miss Qiu, the round atomic bomb.
What the writer means is that the atomic bomb has been assembled on the tower and can be officially prepared for test explosion.
Five minutes passed.
Li Jue returned to the writer with a new telegram, which contained one sentence:
"Everything is normal at my mother's side, don't worry, you can pick up the bride on time."
"."
Looking at this telegram, even though the writer has seen countless storms and waves, his heart is also a little difficult to calm down at this time.
After a few seconds.
The writer said to Li Jue:
"Comrade Li Jue, please contact the main control station and tell them that you can welcome the bride."
Li Jue took a deep breath:
"Understood."
After Li Jue leaves.
The writer also pushed Xu Yun's wheelchair outside the pergola and asked the security guards to distribute a pair of sunglasses to everyone.
There is no so-called trend or design in sunglasses these days. The style you wear after wearing them completely depends on your personal image.
For example, when a handsome and elegant man like the writer puts on sunglasses, he looks extremely handsome and can be called a true national handsome man.
On the other hand, Xu Yun, who has half of his hair burned off, might as well look at the snowy mountains in the distance, family
Then the group of people stayed on the hillside like this, with many staff members who had completed their tasks standing around, chatting in twos and threes, or secretly looking at the big boss group next to Xu Yun.
Of course.
At this time, there are far more than just a few hundred people paying attention to the area in the distance. There are hundreds of millions of pairs of eyes in the Malan Base, 221 Base, and households with TVs or in open spaces across China, looking forward to that moment. The moment comes.
At this moment.
Xu Yun had forgotten to think in his mind and was just staring into the distance. Only the occasional blinking of his eyelashes proved that he was not a sculpture.
I don’t know how long it took, but the writer’s voice suddenly sounded in Xu Yun’s ears:
"The time is almost up, there is one minute left."
Swish——
Not long after the writer finished speaking, some young workers who had been sitting on the hillside stood up one after another.
Xu Yun met many acquaintances among them, such as Mr. Wang when he was young, Ge Tongyou whom he met at the Xichang Satellite Base, and the similarly youthful version of Zhou Shaoping
Everyone involuntarily opened their mouths half-open and stared at the northwest.
"545352"
A lesbian from Shanghai held a pocket watch in both hands and read out slowly.
At first, not many people agreed with her, but as the number decreased, a countdown sounded faintly on the hillside:
"434241"
More and more people chanted the countdown, and their voices became louder and louder, but there was no confusion at all.
Immediately afterwards.
The big rabbit with the same surname as Xu Yun also started to read the countdown, followed by the domineering little old man, and finally the writer joined in:
"363534"
This sound was like a stone falling into the water, causing ripples on the water and spreading farther and farther.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Another distant countdown sound sounded in Xu Yun's left ear. Judging from the direction, it seemed to be the Malan base?
Then quickly.
He heard another burst of voices in his right ear. Among them were Dr. Lin Yu, Lou Zhicen and his student Tu Luming. Is this the 221 base?
Before Xu Yun could react, a third voice came over. It seemed to be Yuan Guoliang and Zhou Kaida. Is that Qiong Hai?
Boom——
In an instant.
Without warning, Xu Yun's ears were filled with countdowns in unfamiliar accents.
There are bold Northeastern men, gentle Jiangnan women, old men with all their teeth missing, and lively young children.
Xu Yun's body suddenly felt a little warm. Is it an illusion? He seemed to hear every cell in his body shouting!
"222120"
Countless voices rang in Xu Yun's ear canal, but after a while, these voices began to slowly merge again, and finally formed a chorus that could not be distinguished by gender or age:
"161514"
This chorus is sometimes vicissitudes of life, sometimes young, sometimes excited, sometimes sad.
Suddenly.
A flash of enlightenment flashed through Xu Yun's heart.
This is
The entire Chinese nation is shouting!
"10"
"9"
"8"
"7"
"6"
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"0!!!"
As the final countdown sounded.
Boom——
Xu Yun first felt a heavy shock under his feet, and then, at the end of the northwest sky.
A huge and spectacular mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The top towered into the sky, as if it wanted to touch the end of the sky. The bottom was filled with thick black smoke and dust. They were intertwined, rolling and rising, like...
A flower of hope unfolding from the sea of death.
Note:
Phew. The plot of the dungeon is finally finished, and the next step is the follow-up, oh yes, there are also extra chapters
This month's fan title is open, and you have a chance to get it if you leave a message in the comment area. If I can update every day this month, this should be the last one. If it is still two days and one chapter, there should be another one next month. In short, it is either the last one or the last one. This is the second time. If you want the title, hurry up.
The dungeon is finished. For those of you who have monthly votes, the expenses for hospitalization are a bit high. Sigh (end of chapter)
