Happy Tycoon
Chapter 829: Skinny, Pumpkin and Miss Qiu
? Under the leadership of Captain Ivan, Yang Jing and the others walked up the mound on the edge of the big pit. Because this big pit was blown out abruptly, the shape was very round, and the mound on the edge of the pit was not. short.
Originally, this big pit was supposed to be dry, but with the continuous penetration of groundwater, this big pit became a lake like it is now. It's just that the water in this lake is dark and dark green, and it looks a bit cruel.
"At the Potsdam Conference that year, U.S. President Truman used an atomic bomb to intimidate Stalin. After the Potsdam Conference ended, the Americans dropped two mushroom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. The power of this weapon made it possible at the time. The Soviet Union was extremely anxious and stepped up its nuclear weapons research and development process. The People’s Committee of the Soviet Union established the First Special Committee to develop nuclear weapons, and Beria was the chairman of the First Special Committee. Stalin stipulated that the mushroom bomb explosion should be completed within five years. And actual combat. Academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences Kurchatov became the chief person in charge of the mushroom bomb project code-named "First Lightning."
Standing on the edge of this big pit, Captain Ivan began to talk about the things he knew rarely known to outsiders.
"But how difficult is it to develop mushroom bombs? The United States began to develop mushroom bombs at the end of 1938. After the German scientists Hahn and Strahmann bombarded uranium with neutrons to fission, it took seven years for Britain, France and the United States and the German scientists who fled to the United States. It took time to complete the Manhattan Project. The United States used half a million people and spent US$2.3 billion at the time, which was an unattainable astronomical figure at the time. As US President Truman said, the cost of developing an atomic bomb Enough to buy the entire universe...'"
Yang Jing smiled and nodded. Chris and the others also know this period of history. The world's first mushroom bomb was developed in their country, so they are also honored to hear this passage.
Captain Ivan turned around and 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 of the first mushroom bomb?"
Ivan did not wait for Yang Jing and the others to answer, but stretched out a slap and said: "Five years! We Soviets succeeded in testing the first mushroom bomb in just five years. And our cost is much higher. Far fewer than Americans."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on Chris's faces just disappeared. Because this is true, and it took the Soviets not only five years to develop the mushroom bomb, but also the first to develop a more terrifying hydrogen bomb. It also has the most nuclear warheads in the world. The Red Terror is in the Soviet Union. Before the disintegration, there has been a lingering cloud in the Western world.
Bruce couldn't help retorting: "That's because your spies are too powerful, and there are some traitors in the United States. If they hadn't existed, the Soviets would not have developed their mushroom bombs so quickly."
Not only did Bruce's words not make the 60-year-old Captain Ivan angry, but he nodded with a smile, which was a acknowledgment of Clark's identification.
"Bruce, everyone knows this kind of thing, but no matter what method we Soviets use to obtain the technology developed by mushroom bombs, in our minds, those who contribute to this matter belong to us Soviets. hero."
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 incident to the Americans and gave out a lot of clues, but it's a pity. The thing is, your American government didn’t care about this. At the end of 1945, Igor Guzenko, the translator of the Soviet embassy in Canada, rebelled and gave the Canadian government clues about the many nuclear spies hidden by the Soviet Union in the West, but At that time, Guzenko’s confession did not receive special attention. It was not until Qian’s Soviet nuclear test was successful that Britain and the United States began to reinvestigate Guzenko’s confession that year.”
"The German-born British engineer Klaus Fox was considered an important figure in providing nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union. Fox spent his childhood in Germany and later entered the UK as a refugee. After obtaining a PhD in physics, Fox had the opportunity to enter The Los Alamos Laboratory was in contact with the nuclear development project in the United States. During the interrogation, Fox believed that he was not betraying state secrets, but out of a kind of morality in human society."
"Also implicated in the Fox case, a large number of left-wing intellectuals in the United States were under censorship at the time, among which the Rosenbergs were the most famous. On July 17, 1950, husband Julius Rosenberg was arrested, and August 11 His wife Ethel was arrested. During the trial, the couple denied that they had provided intelligence to the Soviet Union. All sectors of society were very concerned about the case. Even Einstein and others called for a fair trial by the court. But in the end the couple was sentenced. The death penalty 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 the matter."
"Anyway, these people are immortal heroes to the Soviet Union. Without them, the world would not be like this. For us Soviets, they are heroes!"
Captain Ivan was born when the Soviet Union was the strongest, so even though the Soviet Union has been disintegrated for almost 30 years, Captain Ivan is still proud of being a Soviet.
Yang Jing has no interest in such disputes. This is all history, and disputes are meaningless now.
However, Yang Jing really had a question to ask, so he interrupted 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 because many spies made great contributions. But more importantly, at that time, the Soviet government obtained a mushroom bomb in Japan. Detonated mushroom bomb? Is this true?"
"Yes, it's true. This incident was classified at the time, but after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, many secrets were made public, and among them were secrets in this respect."
After a pause, Captain Ivan continued: "In order to force Japan to surrender as soon as possible, after the Potsdam Conference, the Americans couldn't wait to use their only three mushroom bombs against Japan. On August 6, 1945, The U.S. Air Force dropped the "little boy" on Hiroshima. The mushroom bomb exploded in the air at a distance of 600 meters from the ground, resulting in the complete destruction of 60,000 houses within a radius of 14 kilometers."
"However, this mushroom bomb is not the first American mushroom bomb. The first mushroom bomb made by the Americans is called'Skinny.' It's been tried and exploded long ago. The'Little Boy' was the second mushroom bomb to be detonated."
"In fact, the United States had three bombing targets against Japan at the time, including Hiroshima, Ogura, and Nagasaki. For this purpose, the United States prepared three mushroom bombs. The U.S. Air Force also prepared seven bombers to complete this important mission. The first target was Hiroshima, the second target was Kokura, and the third target was Nagasaki. However, due to the weather when the bombing of Kokura on August 9, 1945, the sky was overcast and the bombers went back and forth three times and finally gave up. The target turned around and flew towards the second target, Nagasaki. At that time, the sky over Nagasaki was densely cloudy, and the fuel consumption of the bomber was not allowed to fly back with mushroom bombs, which would cause the plane to crash and kill people. However, when the plane reached the sky above Nagasaki , The originally dense clouds suddenly dispersed, and the bomber pilot decisively threw two mushroom bombs."
"It’s just that no one thought that only one of the two mushroom bombs dropped in Nagasaki exploded, that is, the mushroom bomb called the fat man. As for the other unexploded mushroom bomb, it was The Japanese took care of it strictly, but because the defeated Japan at that time was unable to develop mushroom bombs, looking at the devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan's national hatred against the United States grew spontaneously. It was also for the United States and the Soviet Union to start a protracted period of time. In the arms race, I did not hesitate to hand this mushroom bomb to the Soviet Union. At that time, after we obtained the actual mushroom bomb, coupled with the mushroom bomb technology information we had already obtained, it soon successfully exploded within five years. A mushroom bomb."
"Here is the place where the mushroom bomb named'Pumpkin' was tested. At that time, the mushroom bomb had an equivalent of about 22,000 tons."
Yang Jing nodded slightly and said: "Thank you Victor. I have heard that there were two mushroom bombs when Nagasaki was bombed, but I have not been sure. Today I can finally be sure."
Captain Ivan also started talking, and asked Yang Jing with a smile: "Then you know that the first mushroom bomb developed by the Americans is called'Skinny', and the first mushroom bomb developed by the Soviet Union is called'Pumpkin'. But do you know the name of the first mushroom bomb you developed by Busy China?"
This question really stopped Yang Jing. After Yang Jingguang knew that after China and the Soviet Union were at odds with each other, China also fell into the same dilemma as Stalin back then~lightnovelpub.net~ that was facing the Soviets' nuclear blackmail.
At that time, Grandpa Taizu ordered Huaxia people to develop their own nuclear weapons. With the concerted efforts of the whole country, two bombs and one satellite were finally developed, and Huaxia has since straightened itself. Spine.
But Yang Jing really didn't know the name of the first mushroom bomb developed by China.
Seeing Yang Jing's stunned expression, Captain Iwan smiled and said: "The first mushroom bomb that you developed by China at that time was called'Miss Qiu'! Haha, do you think this name is very literary? "
"Miss Qiu?" Yang Jing was also stunned. He looked at the first mushroom bomb developed by the Americans and Soviets. One was called Thin Man and the other was called Pumpkin. But why China's first mushroom bomb was called Miss Qiu. Woolen cloth?
Yang Jing scratched his head in embarrassment, but caught some flying dandruff...
