Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

……

Those who participated in the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union also included other fraternal parties in Eastern Europe. They did not know all the speeches discussed at the group meeting, but they roughly heard some rumors. In summary, "Soviet comrades said that they would enter communism in 1980, and Chinese comrades said no, We can step into a developed high-level socialism when the 21st century comes, and it will be very fast. We can’t take too big a step, or it will be a mess.”

The Eastern European Fraternal Party speculates based on the limited information they have, that this difference...doesn't seem big.

The resolution to remove Stalin's body was announced on the penultimate day of the conference. At this time, the Chinese delegation had received a telegram from the chairman not to argue with Khrushchev.

……

On October 10, the conference closed.

The end of the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was not in Moscow, but in Novaya Zemlya.

On the morning of October 10, a modified Tu-30V bomber took off.This bomber looked wrong: it was shiny silver all over, the bomb bay opening and closing door on the abdomen had been removed, and half of the large bomb hanging inside protruded out of the plane.

Such a big bomb is not a good thing at first glance.

This is the AN-602 hydrogen bomb, which was later called the "Tsar Bomb" by the West.Interestingly, the Soviets also seem to feel good about this nickname.

In 1956, Khrushchev asked the Soviet Union to design a super-high-yield hydrogen bomb, and the designers quickly handed over a plan called RDS-202, with an equivalent of 3800 million tons.

In 1960, the KB-11 Design Bureau came up with the AN-602 plan, which was an improved version of the RDS-202, with an equivalent of 1 million tons.

After the resumption of nuclear testing in 1961, Khrushchev asked to release an AN-602 to let the West know that the Soviet Union is not easy to mess with.

However... About half of the equivalent of AN-602 comes from the uranium-238 spherical shell on the outside of the bomb. When uranium 238 denatures and fissions, the radioactive pollutants thrown out are very serious. Uranium 602, the pollution problem is even more serious.If such a piece is placed, Xindi Island will be useless in the next few decades.

After much consideration, Sakharov decided to remove the uranium-238 spherical shell and replace it with lead of equal weight, reducing the equivalent to 5000 million tons.

At 10 am, the Tu-95V flew over Xindi Island and entered the bombing procedure. The 26-ton AN-602 test version detached from the belly of the bomber and immediately opened the parachute-premature opening of the parachute will make the bomb's wind deflection very serious, but there is no other way, the bomber must be given enough time to escape the nuclear explosion damage zone .

10:03.In the past few minutes, the Tu-95V had flown 39 kilometers. When the timer reset to zero, the pilot found that the cockpit was completely white, and he could not see the instrument panel with his own eyes.

At this time, the clouds below the plane and in the distance were illuminated by a strong flash, a sea of ​​light spread under the bombardier's hatch, and even the dark clouds began to glow and become transparent.

After the glare faded, the navigator and co-pilot looked back to find the most unreal, most supernatural phenomenon: they saw Jupiter behind them.

It was the nuclear fireball of AN-602, a round, bright orange sphere, with one or two dark "belts" around its waist that constantly change shapes. Isn't this Jupiter?

The fireball kept getting bigger, growing, rising, breaking through the thick clouds.Below the fireball is a gray-black "mushroom handle", which is the ground dust that was sucked into the fireball. It seems that the entire earth is slowly being sucked into space.

……

在10月30日这天，不但图-95V经历了这次地狱体验，53公里外的图-16核爆观测机、190公里外美国空军派出的KC-135A核爆观测机，也都看见了这不可思议的一幕。

Don't be surprised, Xindi Island is close to the sea. The United States has discovered that the island is preparing for a large-scale nuclear test before, so it regularly sends nuclear explosion observation planes around the high seas.

Now, the lower edge of the big white mushroom of the Tsar Bomb is 70 kilometers above the ground, and the upper edge is 90 kilometers above the ground. The mushroom cloud has risen to the top of the atmosphere. 1000 kilometers away, people on the ground can see the mushroom cloud with the naked eye.

"Wow! Wow!"

The shock wave of this nuclear explosion traveled three times in the earth's crust. Seismic observation stations in Xi'an, Jilin, and Xinjiang in China have all detected obvious seismic waves, and the equivalent and distance can almost be calculated.

Even seismic stations in New Zealand picked up the seismic waves from the Tsar Bomb.

On the Chinese side, Qian Sanqiang and Deng Jia were not calm.

Deng Jiaxian: "Our, that...'Suzaku', should it be released?"

Qian Sanqiang: "The Soviet Union's hydrogen bomb has an estimated equivalent of 5000 million to 5500 million tons. Ours is a bit too small in comparison, only 1500 million tons."

Deng Jiaxian: "Yes, a few months ago, Minister Tang and I mentioned the [-]-million-ton hydrogen bomb when we met Soviet experts. The Soviet experts didn't say anything, but their expressions were very disapproving. Now I know why."

Tang Hua and Nie Shuai also knew the news of the Soviet Union's giant hydrogen bomb test explosion immediately.

Nie Shuai: "This bomb is powerful enough."

Tang Hua: "The United States and the Soviet Union resumed nuclear tests in September. They planned to make up for the tests that were left behind by the nuclear test ban in the past two years. In less than two months, the United States bombed 9 times, and the Soviet Union bombed 7 times. Now The whole world is turned upside down."

Nie Shuai: "This 5-megaton nuclear bomb is a strong response from the Soviet Union to the United States. When the Soviet nuclear bomb is released, Western countries will definitely protest and condemn the Soviet Union's large-yield nuclear test. But what I think is... The Soviet Union has attracted all the firepower, and our 1500 million-ton hydrogen bomb warhead, let’s do it quietly.”

……

"A week ago, I just sent special envoys to the Soviet Union and the United States to call on the two countries to stop nuclear tests again, but the Soviet Union blatantly conducted a test of a hydrogen bomb with a yield of tens of millions of kilotons in response... This is a major challenge to international peace."

This is a statement issued by Swedish Prime Minister Tag Erlander.

"The nuclear test time chosen by the Soviet Union, the wind direction and ocean currents have drifted all the pollutants to Europe. I suggest that Western European and Northern European countries jointly claim compensation from the Soviet Union."

This is a statement from Danish Prime Minister Viggo Kapman.

Nuclear physicist Enrique Fermi: "This nuclear explosion seems to prove that thermonuclear weapons have an almost infinite yield. As long as we fill the hydrogen bomb with enough fusion material, we will eventually design a star."

While countries condemned and criticized the Tsarist nuclear bomb, the United States was quiet for a while, because the CIA and the U.S. Air Force were studying the explosion radiation and dust of the hydrogen bomb, which would take a week or two.

Amidst the condemnation, the official Soviet media made two statements:

First, more than 97% of the equivalent of this nuclear explosion came from fusion. Due to the large amount of neutrons produced by fusion reflecting on the nuclear trigger, this made the fissile material reaction rate of the nuclear trigger as high as nearly 100%, leaving almost no residue. Possibly the most 'clean' nuclear explosion in history.

Second, General Secretary Khrushchev authorized me to tell you that the original design equivalent of the Soviet hydrogen bomb was 1 million tons of TNT. In order not to shock the glass in our house, the equivalent was reduced to 3000 million tons during the test. This shows that We are good people, good people.

Beijing.

The delegation that attended the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union returned to China, not only to report, but also to immediately participate in the discussion of the work for the remaining two months of this year.

"On October 10, the U.S. State Department established a communication channel with our ambassador to the U.S.," Mr. Chen said of the progress in diplomacy. Some changes."

Prime Minister: "What else can they use to blackmail us?"

Boss Chen: "It's still the same few words, but a little new. The first is the Tibet issue. They asked us to stop depriving the serf owners of their land and property, 'release' the Dalai Lama back to Lhasa, and restore his rights. Second On the Sino-Indian border issue, the United States is taking the lead for India this time. Third, China stopped nuclear testing. We rejected all three of these on the spot.”

"On October 10th, the Americans communicated with us for the second time. This time, they did not mention the nuclear test, because the United States' own atomic bombs were also being dropped...Tibet's request has been changed, but the content has not been changed. .For the Sino-Indian border issue, we should stand up for India.”

Chairman: "Americans want to do business and also want to engage in containment policies, but there is no such thing as a good thing that can take care of both."

Deng Zifei: "It's the beginning of November, and the country's grain production this year can be roughly counted. This year's weather conditions are very bad, but through various channels to make remedies, most of the natural disasters have been overcome, and the grain production may be the same as last year. It will be flat, or there will be an increase of about 11 million tons."

Tang Hua: "In 1961, the amount of chemical fertilizers put into agriculture increased by 1960 tons compared with 75. However, I have read the detailed list of chemical fertilizers. Guangxi and Taiwan used a lot of chemical fertilizers for cash crops, not all of them were invested. To food production. So..."

Tang Hua smiled: "This year's agricultural disasters did not damage agriculture as much as last year. Of course, this is because water conservancy and rural work have gradually improved this year."

Deng Zifei: "Even if there is an increase of 200 million tons in grain output this year, if the natural population growth rate is used to offset the increase, the per capita grain possession will still drop."

Li Fuchun: "Agricultural production can be stabilized, so from the end of this year to the summer of next year, the supply of urban and rural grain can still be satisfied. The most important thing is that we also have a minimum limit for imported grain, so we won't be hungry because we can't buy grain."

Chairman: "I'm thinking about the third point Mr. Chen said just now, the United States requires China to stop nuclear testing."
