The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 69: The project is progressing steadily, and Xu Quanhua and his wife arrive in Beijing

"It's just nonsense!"

Lin Dehong's face flushed red as he angrily scolded, "Han Xingguo, you're the head of the Security Department and a former war hero, so why don't you know that scientific research is a serious matter? You have to understand that these research projects can't be supported by just a few instruments and equipment."

Han Xingguo was scolded so badly that he apologized repeatedly, but he was complaining in his heart: You are so great, you are so noble, okay?

The reason why Lin Dehong failed to become the chief officer was that he became a staff officer instead. Although he seemed to be in a high position and had great power, he actually had little say. Otherwise, he would not have been rejected in person by the director of a small research institute.

After a pause, Lin Dehong softened his tone and said:

"I was a little harsh just now, please don't mind. Also, I know you mean well, but let's not bring this up again. It's not conducive to unity, and it's just a piece of equipment that can't do anything. Let's forget about it this time."

"I will stay in the capital for the next two days. Come to this place in the evening and we can get together."

When Lin Dehong returned to the car, his composure had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Next, Lin Dehong and Wang Duoyu went to the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to visit experts. Their main purpose was to discuss the tritium light tube. Because tritium is a radioactive element, it is not so easy to refine it.

As early as June 6, 238, my country successfully conducted its first air-blast test of a hydrogen bomb over Lop Nur. The main raw materials of a hydrogen bomb are deuterium and tritium. Other raw materials for hydrogen bombs can also be lithium deuteride-, lead, uranium , plutonium and beryllium.

The decay period of tritium is that it will be reduced to half its level every twelve and a half years, and this characteristic cannot be changed. In other words, the longer the hydrogen bomb is kept, the smaller its power will be. This is the main reason why other countries in the world regularly destroy all their hydrogen bombs, because they simply do not have reliable hydrogen bomb storage technology.

The amount of natural tritium on Earth is estimated to be around two kilograms, most of which exists in the atmosphere, groundwater and seawater. However, there is no tritium in seawater itself. Because of the half-life of tritium, half of it will be converted into helium-3 every years, so there is almost no tritium in seawater.

The reason why experts estimate that the tritium content in seawater is 2.5 billion tons is that it is one of the important sources of inexhaustible clean energy for human nuclear fusion, but this is mainly due to the collision of cosmic rays with deuterium.

The world's large-scale production of tritium is mainly through reactor irradiation of natural lithium, which involves the preparation of aluminum-lithium targets, in-pile irradiation, extraction and purification processes. Another way to store tritium is to bombard beryllium targets in a cyclotron.

Sam began large-scale production of tritium in the early 1950s, and by 1978, their annual output had reached about nine kilograms.

my country's tritium production has always been a mystery, and Wang Duoyu doesn't know the specific situation because it is a "remainder" number, just like the mystery of the number of our atomic bombs. It is probably more than ten, and the exact number of surplus is unknown.

Wang Duoyu's goal is 20 micrograms of tritium, and one gram is equal to one million micrograms, so 20 micrograms is really very little.

After coming out of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wang Duoyu and Lin Dehong finally left with satisfied smiles on their faces, which showed that their goal had been achieved.

However, when they thought about the fact that the problem with the quartz lens production process had not yet been solved, Wang Duoyu and Lin Dehong's smiles faded again.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon and the work was probably done. Wang Duoyu did not act with Lin Dehong, but went to No. 3 Courtyard of Dafang Hutong. When he walked into the yard, the expressions on the faces of Aunt Zhang, Aunt Lu and Aunt Qian suddenly became wonderful.

"Is the great writer here to revise the manuscript again?"

Aunt Qian's smile froze, and she managed a forced smile, but it was an unpleasant one. She had previously hoped to use the rice bowl to awaken Wang Duoyu's kindness, asking him to help her son Han Chongqian revise his manuscript, or perhaps to speak to Zhou Yanru, the editor-in-chief of Beijing Literature and Art, to get Han Chongqian's manuscript approved for publication.

But it never worked out at all. Wang Duoyu just walked away without playing any tricks on her.

I thought Wang Duoyu would never come back. After all, China is so big, and transportation is slow in those days, so it is normal not to see each other for a lifetime. But I didn't expect that we would meet again after only about a month.

"Haha, no, I just came to see you." Wang Duoyu smiled, chatted with them for a while, and then went straight to the ear room in the middle courtyard.

The room was no different from when he left. After a quick check, Wang Duoyu didn't clean up and just turned around and left.

Yesterday afternoon, he took several boxes of cakes bought from Guixiangcun Food Store and went to No. 97 Qianmen West Street to meet Mrs. Zhou. The old lady was very surprised by his arrival. After a conversation, he took the key to the alley and left.

Fu Jixiang even asked him with a smile if he wanted help exchanging food coupons or something like that, but he politely declined.

Whether it was the old lady or Fu Jixiang, they were all very nice to Wang Duoyu, and this time he was the one who troubled them, so he had to return the favor. It would be too much to exchange tickets or something like that.

In fact, Wang Duoyu was not short of these tickets at the moment, because Lin Dehong gave him a lot of them. After all, the other party knew that he had many relatives in the Wang family, and this time he also needed to help his relatives do something, so food tickets were indispensable.

Early the next morning, Wang Duoyu arrived at the Beijing Railway Station and came here with Xiao Fang to pick someone up.

"Ahua, Xiaomei, here!"

From a distance, Wang Duoyu saw Xu Quanhua and Xie Xiaomei at the exit. When the couple saw him, their flustered faces were filled with surprise.

"Uncle, this capital city is so huge, and there are so many people, we are dazzled."

There are many people in Dahonggou Village and Shuanghe County, but compared with the capital, they are nothing.

Especially in Beijing Railway Station, one of the places with the largest flow of people, it is really easy to get lost here.

After picking up Xu Quanhua and his wife, Xiao Fang drove the car straight to Dafang Hutong with ease. Wang Duoyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, smiled and introduced the couple to the roads and scenery in Beijing.

When they passed Tiananmen Square, the couple was so excited that they cried. They had never thought they would be able to come here. They had only heard about it on the radio before.

"That's the Tiananmen Gate Tower. The portrait you see is right there. It was from there that our teacher announced the founding of the People's Republic of China."

Xu Quanhua and his wife sat up straight and solemnly. Even Xiao Fang slowed down the car and his expression suddenly became serious.
