Volume 11 The Thunderbolt Scroll Chapter 31 The Pangu Project

.

The same scenes continue to be staged in cities of Central Asia, large and small. Some Chinese cities, in the absence of ammunition and personnel, were tragic and completely wiped out. In cities with a large number of people, the situation was not optimistic. The delayed counterattack made the Russians the most skilled. Almaty has become the hinterland of the Russian army. This really made Zhao Gang feel

However, at this critical moment, the battle situation on the southern front became blurred. After breaking through the Himalayan defense line, Zhao Gang once optimistically estimated that the war would end within three months. He also offered a high price to the local forces in India, allowing them to be self-control to a certain extent. In Zhao Gang's view, this condition is already very generous for the Indians who have been kneeling on the ground for three hundred years.

But Zhao Gang ignored one thing. The British were a very cunning country. When the Himalayan defense line was broken, the British's attitude immediately turned a big turn of 180. Next, the Indian Governor announced his abdication and agreed to submit the Indian self-made plan that had been discussed before to the parliament. Soon the Mountbatten plan (i.e. the "India-Pakistan partition" plan) was proposed in the British Parliament.

The content of the Mountbatten plan is mainly based on the religious beliefs of the residents. British India is divided into two autonomous territories of the Indian Federation and Pakistan, and the autonomous government is established respectively; Pakistan is composed of East Pakistan and West Pakistan; the royal states enjoy independent status after "transferring power" and can negotiate to join any autonomous territories of India and Pakistan respectively. This plan was accepted by the major political parties at that time and the Muslim Alliance.

On November 15, 1917, Britain handed over its regime in India to the Indian Congress and the Pakistan Muslim Alliance. Britain's colonial rule in India ended from then on. Britain's economic interests in India were basically unaffected. The contents of the Indian Independence Law established some disputes between India and Pakistan, the most serious of which was the Kashmir issue, which laid the groundwork for the long-term conflict in India and Pakistan.

This once again allowed Zhao Gang to receive the ubiquitous shrewdness and cunning of the British. In 2012, the British government sent the Seal Minister and the leader of the House of Commons to India, promising to give the status of the Dominion of India at an appropriate time. After Crips arrived in India, he proposed the British proposal to India, that is, the "Crips proposal".

The content is: After consultation with India, the United Kingdom decided to issue a proposal to establish an autonomous government in the shortest period. The proposal was to establish a new Indian Federation. Its status was to become an autonomous territory, and its status was equal to that of the British country and other autonomous countries. It was not affiliated with other countries in terms of internal affairs and diplomacy.

However, the plan also proposed that the British Indian states have the right not to join the newly established Indian Federation, which makes it possible to establish two or even more political entities on the original land of India, thus opening the door to facilitate the division of India. At the same time, it also means that the proposed East Pakistan-Bangladesh may have a single independent state. The "Crips proposal" became the prototype of the later "Mountbatten Plan".

This plan was strongly resisted by the Indians, because this plan was a threat, turning India's independence into freedom under the butcher's knife. A split India could not become a world power. Although the Indians were still weak at this time, the ambitions of the Indians had surpassed Britain. They only saw the most glorious China. Although they suffered a lot in the wars in the future, the Indians still missed the imaginary enemy of China.

Under the pressure of the army, the British did not care about splitting India. Although the country was messy and made them set policies, when they encountered a critical situation, the British were still able to make flexibly concessions. According to the provisions of the "Mountbatten Plan", the majority of Hindus were assigned to India, and the majority of Muslims belonged to Pakistan. However, the issue of ownership of Kashmir stipulates that the princes and lords themselves should join India or Pakistan, or maintain independence.

At that time, 77% of the population in Kashmir was Muslim. They tended to join Pakistan; the Tumen King of Kashmir was a Hindus. He first did not want to join India nor Pakistan, but finally he tended to join India. Therefore, when India and Pakistan were divided, the issue of belonging to Kashmir could not be resolved.

Although the Mountbatten plan was a strong pressure on India, in fact, the implementation of the Mountbatten plan was very smooth. As we all know, India is a country that puts religious interests first, and religious interests can be greater than national interests. This is an inherent concept, which lays the groundwork for the future "division of India and Pakistan".

The fundamental reason for the "Section of India and Pakistan" is mainly caused by conflicts between various religions in India. Before India was independent, Muslims and Hinduism who believed in Islam accounted for the majority of the domestic religious population, and the main conflict also revolved around these two religions. The large-scale introduction of Islam to India began with the Turks. In the 11th century AD, the Turks who believed in Islam invaded North India. In 1206 AD, the Guer Dynasty ruled Delhi ~8226; Aibak established himself as the sultan ruled India and established his capital Delhi.

This was the first time in Indian history that a central regime was established by Muslims. Although he did not maintain the unification of the south, it began the 300-year period of the Turkish rule of the Delhi Sultan. Islam was originally a derivative of Muslim aggression, and the invaders persecuted the church on a large scale.

The coercive means have caused many Hindu believers to believe that Islam is different and even completely opposite in terms of belief, law, moral standards, customs, clothing, language, etc. For example, Hindu worships the gods mainly composed of the three great gods, and Islam worships Allah. Hindus preaches reincarnation and liberation, and Islam promotes "doomsday judgment". This difference in beliefs and values ​​is an important reason for sectarian conflict.

Therefore, this time the partition of India and Pakistan actually received strong support from most Indian people. The interests of the British were preserved. It can even be said that the British had obtained the best benefits that could be obtained in a short period of time. In the long run, this choice is also necessary for Indian patriotism. Indians who were passionate about overthrowing colonialism began to rush to join the army. Under religious agitation, joining the army became the only patriotic model. The number of Indian troops continued to grow like a snowball. Dahe refused to defend hundreds of thousands of British troops in New Delhi, and even blocked the Chinese army's attack.

In order to break through the New Delhi defense line as soon as possible, Zhao Gang had to transfer three field armies originally used on the Western Front to the southern front, which caused the passiveness of the battlefield on the northern front. Unlike other countries | China's army has always been on the elite route. Although the number of troops has been continuously expanded in the war, it is [: only 4.5 million. I know the cruelty and long-term nature of the war. Zhao Gangyi. Instead, he relies on elite soldiers to deal with allies in many places. The actual situation shows that the casualties of Chinese soldiers and soldiers in other countries is 3.5 to 1. As the war deepens, China's opponents began to recruit soldiers in large numbers. After the military quality has dropped significantly, this ratio has become terrible. Recently, it has reached 8.1.

However, in Zhao Gang's view, this casualty rate still couldn't satisfy him. So that afternoon, Zhao Gang came alone and accompanied by the guards to a mysterious base. In this huge base, an unprecedented plan was underway. The main purpose of this plan was to create the most powerful bomb in humans - nuclear bombs

The Chinese Army Department began to implement the plan to use nuclear fission reactions to develop atomic bombs, also known as the Pangu Plan. In order to create atomic bombs before other countries (especially Germany), the project focused on the best nuclear scientists in China at that time (including Ms. Wu Jianxiong, a Chinese-American nuclear physicist, and so on). It was also willing to break up with Germany and forced to dig up Einstein, the greatest local scientist. However, although it had passed 40% and consumed endless funds, the development work was still very difficult.

This cannot be attributed to Einstein. During the implementation of the project, Einstein, the person in charge, applied the ideas and methods of system engineering, greatly shortening the time spent on the project. The success of this project has become a discipline - systems engineering. Although there is no advantage now, Zhao Gang firmly believes that it can be attributed to the backwardness of science and technology in this era. Compared with the original time and space, technology is 30 different. Although most of it looks similar, it is the era when developing sophisticated weapons.

In early 1912, although Chinese scientists had roughly had a concept of atomic cost and time, the huge nuclear research project had exceeded the capabilities of scientific research institutions. At that time, China's economy had gradually turned to war. No industrial company could complete the construction of production facilities in a short period of time. Zhan Tianyou, one of the heads of China's nuclear research, believed that only the army had the highest priority could produce nuclear raw materials before the end of the war. On 39, 1912, he emphasized in his report to His Majesty Zhao Gang, he proposed to hand over all the development and production management to the army. On June 17, Zhan Tianyou prepared a detailed report for Zhao Gang to hand over all the nuclear plan to the army leaders. Zhao Gang immediately approved Zhan Tianyou's report.

By December 1941, the scale of the plan was astonishingly large. Since we didn't know that the 2353 methods of splitting were the best, we had to use three methods to carry out fission work at the same time. This complex project became the furnace of Chinese science. A large number of scientists from all over the world were in the world.

The number of scientists is unimaginable. In some departments, there are even more people with doctoral titles than ordinary staff. There are also many Nobel Prize winners. The "Pangu Kaitian" project once launched 760,000 people at its peak. The total cost is as high as 2.5 billion yuan. This is incomparable to any Wuqi experiment before this.

With the support of Ma Deli, Chairman of the General Staff of the Military Department, the Chinese military agreed to start building four isotope separation factories and other development and production bases with different methods according to the recommendations of the original Karyonductor Committee (a body responsible for the research). The army named the entire plan "Substitute Materials Development Laboratory" and appointed Colonel Ma Deli of the Chinese Military Engineering Department to be responsible for all operations.

Because Colonel Ma Deli followed the rules and was unable to get along with the scientific consultants, he made the research plan

The choice of the upgrade of power and gas separation factory address was delayed for two months. The wartime office and senior military leaders decided to lead the construction of the Pentagon building of the Chinese Ministry of Defense, Colonel Zhao Gang replaced Colonel Ma Deli. Before taking office, Zhao Gang was promoted to brigade general.

Within 48 hours after taking office, Zhao Gang successfully promoted the priority of the plan and selected Dandong, Liaoning as the isotope separation factory base. The base's headquarters is located in Panjin. In this way, the mine transported from Goryeo Province will be directly processed. It is as high as 2,600~: the use of the plan can be guaranteed. Therefore, "Pangu Kaitian Engineering Zone (or abbreviated as Kaitian Engineering Zone)" was born|subjected".

The ultimate goal of Pangu’s plan to create an atomic bomb before the war. Although the Nuclear Executive Committee affirmed its feasibility before this plan, there are still a large number of theoretical and engineering and technical issues that need to be solved to achieve this new explosion. After opposing the opposition, Zhao Gang asked Einstein to be responsible for this work.

In order to ensure the atomic bomb research project was successfully completed, according to Einstein's suggestion, the military authorities decided to establish a new research base for fast neutron reaction and atomic bomb structure, which was later famous in the world. Einstein was appointed as the director of the Qianshan Laboratory with his talent and wisdom and his profound insight into the atomic bomb. It was precisely because of such a crucial appointment that he won the title of "Father of the Atomic Bomb" in China in the future.

Einstein initially underestimated the difficulties. He believed that only six physicists and engineering technicians were enough. But by 1916, the laboratory had grown to 2,000 civilian researchers and more than 3,000 military personnel, including C scientists.

Given that most scientists oppose the militarization of the laboratory, Zhao Gang agreed that Tsinghua University will become the nominal management unit and contract guarantee unit in Qianshan. The base's army is responsible for laboratory construction, logistics supply and security guarantee. This ensures free academic discussions within the laboratory. Einstein encourages scientists to boldly discuss scientific issues related to the atomic bomb, and even the opinions of the gatekeeper will be of some help to the success of the atomic bomb.

Einstein paid attention to listening to anyone's opinions and mastered the entire experimental process. Some physicists involved in nuclear research later recalled that they themselves were not even as clear as Einstein's details and progress in their work. On many issues, breakthroughs were made due to Einstein's decision, ensuring the implementation of the atomic bomb development schedule.

Einstein's prestige among scientists, ordinary employees and government officials is becoming increasingly high. Qianshan is known as the "Nobel Prize-winning concentration camp", and people call Einstein the "battalion commander" of this concentration camp. Einstein has always been known for his talent, but he does not have such a high personal prestige in other aspects. This Pangu plan demonstrates his organizational talents and personal charm.

However, until Zhao Gang stepped into the base, the development of the atomic bomb was still in a critical stage. It cannot be said that there was no progress. However, in Zhao Gang's view, this progress was not enough to be in the war. Originally, Zhao Gang wanted to use this weapon to achieve the final victory of the war and naturally become the overlord of the world. But now this wish seems unlikely to be realized.

Looking at Einstein's tired and nervous expression, Zhao Gang couldn't bear it. He turned around and said: "Dr. Einstein. I heard that you have submitted four papers to the Royal Academy of Sciences. Among these four papers, you put forward new views, prove the precession of Mercury's perihelion, and gave the correct gravitational field equation. I don't know if this is the case."

When it comes to relativity, Einstein's expression suddenly came to life: "Yes, I can finally say that the basic problems of general relativity have been solved, and general relativity was born. The theory of relativity that was used for inertial systems should be called special relativity. The principle that only holds true for physical laws of inertial systems is called the special relativity principle, and further expresses the general relativity principle: the laws of physics must hold true for reference systems that move in any way."

Zhao Gang listened silently to Einstein's words

"Because of the existence of matter, space and time will be bent, and the gravitational field is actually a curved space-time. In this way, the theory of bending space by the sun's gravity can well explain that Mercury's perihelion precession has not been explained for 43 seconds. The second biggest prediction is gravitational redshift, that is, the spectrum moves to the red end in a strong gravitational field. The third biggest prediction is that the gravitational field deflects the light, and the large gravitational field closest to the earth is the sun's gravitational field. I think that if the distant starlight passes through the surface of the sun, it will deflect a little seven seconds."

Zhao Gang wrote down these. No matter how cruel the war is, after all, only technology is the step to promote human progress. Many years later, those who have become famous in the war will be submerged, and only those scientists can pass on through the ages. Although he did not see hope, Zhao Gang was still satisfied and stood up and patted Einstein. "There is an old saying in our country that it is rare to be a normal mind. I hope you can put aside your winning or losing mind, and maybe this can do better."
