Under the leadership of Captain Ivan, Yang Jing and his party walked on the mound at the edge of the big pit, because this big pit was blown out by force, so the shape is very round, and the mound on the edge of the pit is not short.Originally, the pit was supposed to be dry, but with the continuous infiltration of groundwater, this pit has become a lake as it is now.It's just that the water in this lake is that dark and dark green, and it looks a little creepy."
At the Potsdam Conference that year, US President Harry S.
Truman used an atomic bomb to intimidate Stalin, and after the Potsdam Conference, the Americans dropped two mushroom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.The power of this weapon made the Soviet Union extremely anxious at that time, and it stepped up its own nuclear weapons research and development process.The Council of People's Commissars of the USSR established the First Special Committee, which was specifically responsible for the development of nuclear weapons, and Beria was the chairman of the First Special Committee.Stalin stipulated that the mushroom bomb should be exploded and put into combat within five years.Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences Kurchatov became the chief head of the operation of the mushroom bomb program, codenamed "First Lightning". ”Standing on the edge of the pit, Captain Ivan began to tell of what he knew that few outsiders knew."
But how difficult is it to develop a mushroom bomb?
The United States began to develop the mushroom bomb at the end of 1938, and after the German scientists Hahn and Straman bombarded uranium with neutrons and caused a fission, it took Britain, France, the United States, and German scientists who fled to the United States seven years to complete the Manhattan Project.The United States used 500,000 people at that time and spent 2.3 billion US dollars, which was an unattainable astronomical amount at the time, as US President Truman said, 'The cost of developing the atomic bomb is enough to buy the entire ......universe'" Yang Jing smiled and nodded, Chris They also know this period of history, the world's first mushroom bomb was developed in their country, so they are also honored to listen to this paragraph.Captain Ivan turned around, looked at Yang Jing and said, "But do you know how long it took us Soviets from the beginning of the development of mushroom bombs to the successful test explosion of the first mushroom bomb?"
”Ivan didn't wait for Yang Jing to answer, but stretched out a slap and said, "Five years!"
It took only five years for us Soviets to successfully test the first mushroom bomb.And we spend far less than the Americans. ”As soon as these words came out, the smile on Chris's face just now disappeared.Because this is a fact, and it took the Soviets five years to develop not only the mushroom bomb, but also the first to develop the more terrifying hydrogen bomb, and the most nuclear warheads in the world, the Red Terror has been a lingering cloud in the Western world before the collapse of the Soviet Union.Bruce couldn't help but retort: "That's because your spies are too powerful, and there are some traitors in the United States, if those people didn't exist, the Soviets wouldn't have developed their mushroom bombs so quickly." ”Bruce's words not only did not make Captain Ivan, who was in his sixties, angry, but he nodded with a smile, which was regarded as acknowledging Clark's identification."
Bruce, everyone knows about this kind of thing, but no matter what method we Soviets use to obtain the technology for the development of mushroom bombs, in our minds, those who contribute to this matter are heroes of our Soviets."
After a pause, Ivan continued: "In fact, when we Soviets were developing mushroom bombs, some Soviet agents who defected to the United States once mentioned this matter to the Americans and told a lot of clues, but unfortunately, your American government didn't care about this matter.At the end of 1945, Igor Guzhenko, a translator at the Soviet embassy in Canada, confessed to the Canadian government clues about a number of nuclear spies hidden by the Soviet Union in the West after the mutiny, but Guzenko's confession did not receive special attention at that time.It was not until after the success of the Soviet nuclear test that Britain and the United States began to re-investigate according to Guzenko's confession. ”"Klaus Fox, a German-born British engineer at that time, was considered an important figure in providing nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union.Fawkes spent his childhood in Germany before entering England as a refugee.After receiving his Ph.D. in physics, Fox had the opportunity to work at Los Alamos Laboratory to get involved in nuclear development engineering in the United States.During the interrogation, Fox believed that he was not selling state secrets, but out of a kind of human morality. ”And in the Fox case, a large number of left-wing intellectuals in the United States were censored, among which the Rosenbergs were the most famous.On July 17, 1950, the husband Julius Rosenberg was arrested, and on August 11, the wife Ethel was arrested.During the trial, both husband and wife denied that they had provided information to the Soviet Union, and all sectors of society were very concerned about the case, and even Einstein and others called for a fair trial by the court.But in the end, the couple was sentenced to death, which was executed on June 19, 1952.After the Soviet archives were made public, the husband was indeed a Soviet spy, and the wife knew nothing about it. ”"In any case, these people are immortal heroes for the Soviet Union.Without them, the world would not be like this.For us Soviets, they are heroes!
”Captain Ivan was born at the time when the Soviet Union was at its strongest, so even though the Soviet Union had collapsed for almost thirty years, Captain Ivan was still proud to be a Soviet.Yang Jing has no interest in such disputes, this is already history, and there is no point in arguing about them now.However, Yang Jing really had a question he wanted to ask, so he opened his mouth to interrupt the child-like dispute between the two."
Victor, I heard that the reason why your Soviet Union developed mushroom bombs so quickly at that time was that there were many spies who made great contributions, but more importantly, the Soviet government obtained a mushroom bomb that was not detonated at that time?
Is this true?
”"Yes, it's true, it was classified at the time, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many secrets were made public, and there were secrets in this area."
After a pause, Captain Ivan continued: "At that time, in order to force Yuben to surrender as soon as possible, after the Potsdam Conference, the Americans couldn't wait to use their only three mushroom bombs against Yuben.On August 6, 1945, the U.S.
Air Force dropped the 'little boy' on Hiroshima, and the mushroom bomb exploded in the air 600 meters above the ground, causing the complete destruction of 60,000 houses within a radius of 14 kilometers. ”"However, this mushroom bomb is not the first mushroom bomb of the Americans, the first mushroom bomb made by the Americans is called 'Thin Man', which is about equivalent to the explosive yield of a two-thousand-ton ladder, but this mushroom bomb has already been tested and exploded.'
Little Boy' was the second mushroom bomb to be detonated. ”In fact, at that time, the United States had three bombing targets for Yumoto, including Hiroshima, Kokura, and Nagasaki, for which the United States prepared three mushroom bombs, and the United States Air Force also prepared seven bombers to complete this important task.However, during the bombing of Kokura on August 9, 1945, the bomber made three rounds of overcast weather and finally abandoned the target and turned to Nagasaki, the second target.At that time, the sky over Nagasaki was also overcast, and the fuel consumption of the bomber was not allowed to fly back with mushroom bombs, which would lead to the destruction of the plane and the death of people.However, when the plane arrived over Nagasaki, the dense clouds and fog suddenly dispersed, and the bomber pilot decisively dropped two mushroom bombs. ”"It's just that no one expected that only one of the two mushroom bombs dropped on Nagasaki exploded, that is, the mushroom bomb called 'Fat Man'.As for the other unexploded mushroom bomb, it was strictly guarded by the Japanese, but because the defeated Japan at that time was no longer capable of developing mushroom bombs, looking at the devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he said that his national hatred for the United States arose spontaneously.In order to allow the United States and the Soviet Union to start a protracted arms race, he did not hesitate to hand over this mushroom bomb to the Soviet Union.At that time, after we got the actual mushroom bomb, coupled with the mushroom bomb technology information we had already obtained, we soon succeeded in exploding the first mushroom bomb within five years. ”"This is the place where the mushroom bomb called 'pumpkin' was tested at that time, and the yield of this mushroom bomb at that time was about 220,000 tons."
Yang Jing nodded slightly and said: "Thank you Victor, I have long heard that when I bombed Nagasaki, it was two mushroom bombs, but it has not been confirmed, and today I can finally confirm it." ”Captain Ivan also got up to talk, and asked Yang Jing with a smile: "Then you know that the name of the first mushroom bomb developed by the Americans is 'Thin Man', and the name of the first mushroom bomb developed by our Soviet Union is 'Pumpkin', but do you know what the name of the first mushroom bomb you developed in Huaxia is called?"
”This question really stopped Yang Jing.Yang Jingguang knew that after the war between China and the Soviet Union at that time, Huaxia also fell into the same dilemma as Stalin, that is, facing the nuclear blackmail of the Soviets.At that time, under such circumstances, Grandpa Taizu ordered the Huaxia people to develop their own nuclear weapons, and then with the concerted efforts of the whole country, two bombs and one satellite were finally developed, and Huaxia has straightened its backbone since then.But the name of the first mushroom bomb developed by Huaxia, Yang Jing really didn't know.Looking at Yang Jing's stunned expression, Captain Ivan smiled and said, "The first mushroom bomb you developed in Huaxia at that time is called 'Miss Qiu'!"
Haha, don't you think this name is very literary?
”"Miss Qiu?"
Yang Jing was also stunned, look at the first mushroom bomb developed by the Americans and the Soviets, one is called Thin Man, the other is called Pumpkin, why is the first mushroom bomb in China called Miss Qiu?
Yang Jing scratched his head a little embarrassed, but grabbed some flying dandruff ps: bowed and thanked the "very lazy fish" for the reward of 200, "a gentle knife" and "the first kiss gave the hand" 100 reward.
