1942, I lived on hunting

Waiting is very painful, especially for those who have been waiting for too long, especially for those who have paid too much, but the most anxious and painful ones are impatient people like Li Hao. He rushed out of the underground bunker of the observatory, and then went back in dejectedly, like a donkey tired of pulling the millstone. No matter how hard he tried, he would eventually return to the side of the millstone helplessly.

For a moment, Li Hao wanted to rush to the control room and press the damn power switch. However, an expert who designed the detonation procedure said that this was useless. There was more than one switch on the energized cable. If he wanted to detonate, he had to close the switches elsewhere first. Only then would pressing the detonation switch work.

With no other choice, he could only wait, wait, and wait! Just when Li Hao was about to collapse from anticipation, the commander-in-chief arrived.

Li Hao was so shocked that he wanted to take his camera to record the shocking scene he had been looking forward to. As a result, the commander invited everyone to get on the bus and said he would take everyone to appreciate the natural scenery and historical sites. He took everyone on a short trip to the Peacock River and the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

We found many pieces of clay and pottery in the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, had a picnic on the riverbed of the Peacock River, which had dried up for many years, and picked up many fossils of fish and snails. Li Hao also drove us to hunt the frightened herds of gazelles, and we spent the day in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. This trick really worked, and everyone's nervousness was indeed relieved a lot.

After returning, they were still waiting for orders from above. It was not until the afternoon of the 14th that the date was finally confirmed - Miss Qiu will bloom on October 1964, 10.

The base immediately began the final inspection work, and Li Hao, who was bored, was dragged by the deputy commander to inspect the work of a chemical defense unit. When they arrived at the base, they saw that these soldiers were wearing thick gelatin protective clothing, carrying instruments, and were ready to go at any time.

The deputy commander-in-chief introduced that the troops had been preparing and training for more than a year before coming to the test site from Beijing in May. After arriving in the Gobi Desert, in order to practice adaptability and endurance, they wore gelatin protective clothing, ran and climbed mountains with instruments, exercised on various complex terrains, and conducted high-intensity training at noon in summer. Sometimes they wore protective clothing except for eating. The comrades of the reconnaissance team also had to endure the bumps of the reconnaissance vehicle. Some of them were carsick and vomited, but they could not take off their masks and had to vomit in the masks. Because they had to work in the contaminated area after "zero", they conducted a lot of simulation training after entering the joint test stage. After entering October, the temperature in the Lop Nur area dropped and the weather gradually became colder, but they would pour a lot of sweat from their protective clothing every time they trained. Now they can work for more than 5 hours in gelatin protective clothing, and some can work for up to 10 hours. They all know that after the test is successful, when the brother troops return triumphantly, they must work in the contaminated explosion area for a period of time.

On the night of the 15th, Li Hao didn't know how many people in the entire test site area did not sleep, at least no one could sleep soundly as usual that night. Many years later, he still remembered the scene that night: a half-moon hung in the sky, and the lights in the test site were slightly dim under the hazy moonlight.

By the 16th, everything was not so tense anymore. The work to be done had already been checked countless times. As time approached, various instructions were issued one by one. Finally, it was the exciting countdown.

However, Li Hao was in the bunker, not in the main control station, and did not hear the so-called countdown at all. He just stared blankly at the iron tower in the distance with goggles on.

A ray of light, a ray of light as strong as lightning, covering the sky and cutting through the air. It was so beautiful that Li Hao got goosebumps!

Then a huge fireball rose into the sky, and a big mushroom quickly grew in the Gobi Desert, making the Chinese people stand firmer from then on!

Li Hao's eyes were filled with tears, but he was still strong enough to take a picture of this exciting scene with his camera. Everyone around him cheered, took off their hats, threw them high into the sky, and jumped and danced with their hands raised...

That night, Li Hao was driven out of the test site by a car. Others still had a lot of follow-up work to do, so no one came to see him off. Li Hao didn't care at all, because everyone had given him the best gift - allowing him to look at people from all countries in the world with equal eyes.

Li Hao doesn't know why there are still so many spineless people in the future, who lick the outside world and criticize the inside world, and always ask the Chinese to reflect. To these people, Li Hao just wants to say - we have Miss Qiu, so we don't need to reflect! If you think I am wrong, then find your own reasons. If you really don't agree, just tell her and see if she will make me reflect!

I reflect on your MLGB reflection...

....................................

After returning to Beijing, Li Hao solemnly bought a People's Daily special edition on the 16th at a newsstand. Li Hao did not pay a higher price for it, because it was not available at all. Li Hao snatched it from the newsstand owner, who had originally intended to keep it for himself. On the thin piece of paper, there were all kinds of fingerprints and tear stains left by people passing it around. Just from these fingerprints, you can tell how excited and proud people were at the time.

Li Hao put the special edition in a large photo frame, took it and walked into Zhang Xiaojuan's ward. She had originally had the opportunity to attend the ceremony, but due to various reasons, she was unable to go. Li Hao didn't want her to have any regrets, so he brought her a special edition of the 16th as a gift. Although it was two days late, and although Zhang Xiaojuan might have known the news, Li Hao still wanted to bring this gift to her. After all, he couldn't bring her a nuclear explosion site fragment, right? What if she was contaminated with radioactive dust?

Zhang Xiaojuan seemed to know what Li Hao was going to do. When Li Hao entered the ward, she didn't ask anything, but just smiled at him. Li Hao handed her the special edition solemnly, saying it was a gift he brought back for her and hoped she would like it.

Zhang Xiaojuan touched the photo frame, tears welling up in her eyes. She read the contents of the special edition over and over again: "Major achievements in strengthening national defense, major contributions to safeguarding world peace, the successful explosion of my country's first atomic bomb, and the Chinese government's statement solemnly proposing to convene a world summit to discuss the issue of the complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons."

At 15:00 on October 16, 1964 (Beijing time), China exploded an atomic bomb in the western part of the country and successfully carried out its first nuclear test. The success of China's nuclear test is a major achievement of the Chinese people in strengthening national defense and defending the motherland, and it is also a major contribution of the Chinese people to the cause of safeguarding world peace. Chinese workers, engineers, scientists and all personnel engaged in national defense construction, as well as all regions and departments across the country, under the leadership of the Party, carried forward the spirit of self-reliance and hard work, worked hard and worked together vigorously to make this test a success. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council extend their warm congratulations to them..."

Zhang Xiaojuan's soft voice echoed in the quiet ward. Li Hao felt so happy and relieved at this moment...
