Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 569 Project 596

Yu Ye opened the letter under Old Zhao's excited gaze. As expected, the letter came from Professor Zhao Zhongyao.

The letter was very short. In fact, Professor Zhao only asked him two questions.

The first question is whether the resources and military strength of the current province of Jin can withstand the Japanese counterattack and provide teachers and students with a stable research environment.

The second question is whether the next topic to be studied will fundamentally reverse the situation of the war.

Yu Ye can actually understand the two questions raised by Professor Zhao Zhongyao, because the students of Southwest Associated University now represent the best students of this era, almost without a doubt.

These teachers and students represent the cultural context of China in this era. Anyone who hands this cultural context over to Yu Ye will be extremely cautious.

Because even more than half a month ago, Jin was still an occupied area. Even though Jin has been recovered now with the joint efforts of several forces, we are still facing the possibility of a counterattack from the Japanese at any time.

The strategic environment in Jin is actually not that safe.

Therefore, it is understandable that Professor Zhao asked this first question. He was not considering his own safety, but was actually considering the cultural context of the world.

Yu Ye smiled slightly when he saw this question. He now had enough confidence to face the Japanese attack, and he was confident that he could provide these students with a stable research environment.

Now he owns the Datong coal mine, the Changzhi iron mine, the Zhongtiao Mountain copper mine, as well as the cotton that grows in abundance in Jin, and various chemical raw materials that are still being produced in an endless stream. When have we ever been so arrogant?

Seamless steel pipes cold-forged in a 24-hour production workshop, gun barrels produced by electroslag remelting, armored steel rolled in the tractor factory, and engines processed by precision machinery.

It can be said that our strength increases by one point with every passing minute. This high morale gives Yu Ye and even the entire Eighth Route Army in Shanxi enough confidence to fight against the Japanese invaders.

Even though they had known that the Japanese were going to send the Kwantung Army to attack Jin, no one was afraid. Their eyes were filled with eagerness to try.

In fact, Yu Ye’s greatest confidence is not these external things, but the well-fed common people of the entire Jin area, and the soldiers around him who truly care about the people.

Guguo has never considered mountains and streams as dangerous. Now the people's morale is high. Yu Ye does not believe that there are still Japanese invaders that cannot be defeated, and Yu Ye also does not believe that his defense line can be broken by the enemy.

"My teacher Zhao is still too cautious. Now that we have the resources of Jin, I have enough confidence even if we fight against the entire country of the devil with just one province of Jin!"

Yu Ye said in an unusually heroic tone.

Zhao Gang was listening to Yu Ye's words and suddenly felt proud: "With your words, we are more confident."

"Hahaha, you're wrong. In fact, with talents like Teacher Zhao joining us, we will be more confident."

Yu Ye laughed out loud.

"However, we still need to be prepared for how to arrange for top experts like Teacher Zhao. The conditions in Jin are relatively poor at present. It is not a big problem for us to eat coarse grains every day. We must ensure the nutrition of these top scientists.

In addition, we need to start preparing a lot of equipment.

We have to spend the silver dollars that the Japanese used to bribe us during our attack on Jin this time, as well as the silver dollars and gold bars that the Japanese used to redeem their senior officers in the future, carefully. For example, computers, centrifuges, gas diffusion laboratories, and high-energy explosives laboratories all require real money to build. "

As the general manager of the nuclear industry, Yu Ye now needs to consider not only engineering and technical issues, but also many other issues, not just security but also a series of issues such as logistics support and other supporting equipment. This is a huge test for him.

In fact, for the industry, at this point in 45, completing the manufacture of nuclear bombs and building the entire nuclear industry system was not an easy task. What he needed to complete was not a replica, but reverse engineering based on today's technological level.

The technical requirements for using plutonium as a raw material for nuclear fission are too high. It is necessary to build a nuclear reactor to produce plutonium, and the required prerequisite technology chain is too long. At present, it seems more appropriate to use uranium-235 as the fission material to complete the first batch of atomic bomb explosions.

However, Yu Ye will not give up the route of using plutonium as fission material. After all, when production needs to be increased, this will be a very important supplement, and it can even be said to be a decisive production capacity.

This time, Yu Ye would not make the mistake of forcing the Japanese to surrender just by dropping two atomic bombs.

How can two shots be possible?

If we tell others about it, the Japanese will think we are too poor to afford this fun.

They have to go to the ground in batches. What is a saturation nuclear strike?

Since the Japanese are destined to be the first country in human history to face a nuclear attack, Yu Ye has the obligation to make this meeting more unique.

In addition to the enrichment plant consisting of a large number of centrifuges, the industry also needs to arrange special steel, beryllium plants, fluorides, radiation protection materials, semiconductors, detonating materials, high-temperature ceramics...

If we need to list all these supporting industries, it would probably take at least four or five pages of paper to list them all. Each of these terms will be a huge test for today's industrial level, and will also mean a massive investment of resources, manpower and material resources.

In addition to deploying the work of Taiyuan Industrial Zone and rebuilding Ping'an City and understanding the feedback from his own alumni in China, Yu Ye has been working day and night to compile the nuclear industry framework manual of this era, a top-secret document that no one can read except himself.

On the cover of this document, Yu Ye gave it a name, Project 596.

......

In the next few days, Yu Ye obtained feedback from the people he had contacted through various channels.

I had previously sent out these two large boxes of nearly two hundred letters, and I began to receive responses one after another. Some people sent telegrams to the Taiyuan Command, some gave their answers through letters, and some gave their responses through our powerful intelligence system.

191 handwritten letters.

Some responded positively, some hesitated, some had already set out, some had to make a difficult choice between their future and justice, and some remained silent...

But no one said no!

None of these scholars in the turbulent times let down this land.
