Chapter 683 Terrible Calculation Amount

terrible.

The amount of calculations required for an atomic bomb can only be described as horrific.

Currently, the production capacity of nuclear fission materials at the 221 base is very low, so Zhao Zhongyao and Yu Ye discussed and decided to use an implosion-type atomic bomb configuration.

This method makes the utilization of nuclear fission materials more efficient, and less fission material is required for each atomic bomb, but it also means higher requirements for design and theoretical research.

The implosion-type atomic bomb configuration requires more precise calculations, and the amount of calculations is also enormous.

According to current estimates, during the entire design and calculation process, each round of calculations will cover tens of thousands of nodes, each node has approximately eight or nine parameters, and each parameter requires solving six or seven equations.

Each of these equations requires dozens of steps of calculation to solve.

If calculated in this way, it would require at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of calculations to get the final result.

However, such a complex calculation is simply impossible to complete with just one round.

At least 3-5 rounds of calculations must be repeated independently, and the results of these calculations must be completely consistent in order for the calculation to be considered correct.

If any of the calculation results is incorrect, it means that all previous calculations are incorrect and everything has to be started over again.

Once you look into it in detail, the amount of calculation is as boundless as a sea of ​​suffering.

When Yu Ye figured out the amount of computing required, he was stunned. In his previous life, with the help of supercomputers, such calculations would be nothing more than a matter of drinking two more cups of coffee.

Even if it is a little more difficult, it is nothing more than staying up for two more nights, and the supercomputer will present the calculation results to you.

In fact, in addition to solving some extremely difficult math problems, most of the work of supercomputers is to simulate the process of nuclear explosion. It is uncountable how many nuclear bombs have exploded in supercomputers around the world.

"Oh my god, if we do this three or five times, the resulting manuscript paper can at least cover the entire North China."

Yu Ye rubbed his eyes, let out a long breath, and said with emotion.

"What do you mean, Director?"

Zhao Zhongyao placed the document in his hand on Yu Ye's desk. He was also shocked by the vast amount of calculations.

He always knew that studying this thing would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Yu Ye smiled bitterly: "What else can I say? Let's just get started. As I said before, even if we have to use an abacus, we have to come up with a theoretical model of the atomic bomb.

I will have them prepare logistical supplies for you, prepare a large underground bunker, organize everyone, and conduct the calculations here."

"Okay, now that you've decided, I'll lead everyone to do it now."

After getting a positive answer from Yu Ye, Professor Zhao Zhongyao turned around without hesitation and prepared to call for help.

"Professor Zhao, I have asked them to prepare the abacus and slide rule. But don't worry, I will report to the commander right away and ask them to buy a computer.

No matter what kind of computer it is, as long as its computing efficiency is higher than that of humans and abacus, I will ask them to buy it.

Even if it is a pile, we have to pile up our theoretical model."

Yu Ye was a little angry. Before he came, his comrades used abacus to figure out the answer. After he came, his comrades still used abacus to figure out the answer. Didn't he come here in vain?

Although it is wartime now, the international environment is not as bad as that in another timeline. At least at this time, neither the Russians nor the Americans have imposed an embargo on us.

If there is a way, it is not impossible to get some computer models in Europe.

Yu Ye's scalp tingled when he thought about the nine rounds of calculations he had to carry out under such difficult conditions.

When Yu Ye heard the stories of the scientists who worked on the two bombs and one satellite in the past, he always felt like he was listening to a legend or a joke. However, when this work actually fell on his shoulders, he no longer thought it was a legend. Instead, it was a series of tasks that made his scalp tingle.

It just makes people bald.

It turns out that they have always been strong and great, but I had underestimated their greatness before.

......

"I wonder how Yu Ye and his team are doing at Base 221."

The commander paced in the command center, muttering to himself, but his voice was very soft.

During this period, Base 221 was in a completely closed state. Anything could enter but not leave. In principle, only the commander, division commander and chief of staff could enter. Coupled with the management of Political Commissar Rong and Zhao Gang, Base 221 was like an iron wall.

Although the commander's voice was very light, it was still heard by the division commander sitting next to him: "Commander, don't worry about how their base is doing. Can I say that Xiao Yu can still let us down?

This time, I see that he has been in seclusion with Base 221 for such a long time, he must be holding back something big."

The commander appeared to be very calm.

"That being said, we don't really know how powerful Yu Ye's creation is. With the huge amount of resources invested in it every day..."

The commander stood with his hands behind his back, speaking halfway.

"Why? Are you sad about all these investments?"

The commander asked unhappily.

"I really don't feel bad at all. Without Yu Ye, how could we have wiped out the more than 100,000 Japanese devils in Jindi, how could we have defeated the Japanese and captured a large number of their officers and princes.

It can be said that Yu Ye deserves at least half of the credit for achieving these goals.”

The commander said this in a decisive tone, and it was obvious that he recognized Yu Ye's contribution.

"Then why are you so worried?"

"I'm not worried about these resources. I'm worried about Yu Ye himself. If he invests so many resources but fails to produce the kind of weapons he said, I'm worried that he won't be able to bear such great pressure."

When the commander said this, he was not only caring for his comrades, but also showing his love for his own family and brothers.

"Commander, don't worry. You don't have to worry about this kid. He has a very strong psychological endurance. Besides, when has this kid ever let us down?"

The teacher is full of confidence in karma.
