Although in the previous contact process, Liu Bosheng had heard Li Jue mention Lao Guo and others' debate on the principle of "weather Doppler radar".
However, Lao Guo, Lu Guangda and others are not professional radar researchers after all, so their descriptions are more purely theoretical.
But judging from Sun Junren's reaction now...
Weather Doppler radar seems to also involve physical objects...that is, some specific projects across the sea?
Think of this.
Liu Bosheng couldn't help but feel curious in his heart, and he quickly said to Sun Junren:
"Dean Sun, don't worry. I'll have the comrades in the department pass the telegram to you later. Don't worry about this."
After briefly comforting Sun Junren, Liu Bosheng asked again:
"Speaking of which, Dean Sun, I wonder if the top-secret Doppler radar project across the sea you mentioned is...?"
"...."
Sun Junren, who was on the other end of the phone, was silent for a moment, not sure whether he was sorting things or calming down. After a while, he said:
"Yes, there is a related project across the sea, but its confidentiality level is relatively high, so it is understandable that Guangda and the others don't know about it."
"But Comrade Bosheng, you are already on the informed list, so there is no problem in having a brief chat with you."
Hear this.
Liu Bosheng, who is already a monkey spirit, immediately stood up for gossip.

Then Sun Junren took a deep breath and said slowly:
"About two months ago, the comrades in the security department received a batch of information passed back from across the sea - by the way, the batch of foreign documents from Factory 221 was one of them."
"The total amount of information is not small. In addition to the batch of foreign documents, there is also some top-secret information involving multiple directions."
"I don't know much about other categories of information, but one of them is related to radar research and development. That is, a project called Nexrad was established across the sea, mainly to develop weather Doppler radar."
"The leader of the project was George Wheeldon, the inventor of inverse synthetic aperture radar technology."
"According to intelligence, Haidi is very interested in this project and has approved US$4 million in funding for the first phase."
I heard the number 9 million.
Liu Bosheng suddenly took a breath of cold air, and the room temperature rose by 0.1 degrees:
"Good guy, the first tranche is $4 million?"
"If I remember correctly, the cost of their Corona satellite was only 19 million US dollars, right?" (Another later version said it was 26 million, and I adopted the 1900 version.)
"Yes, it's 4 million US dollars."
Sun Junren nodded with emotion, cursed the rich man in his heart, and then said:
"However, the meteorological Doppler satellite is only a phased goal. The entire project is ultimately aimed at completing the research and development of airborne pulse Doppler radar."
"That is, combined with the Aegis system, AMSA plan, and ballistic missile detection, which are also in their embryonic stage, to form a new generation of trinity pattern."
"That's why, Comrade Bosheng, I said that it is impossible for the technology of meteorological Doppler satellites to appear in China - we haven't even scratched the surface of the sea, how can we steal it?"
Say the last thing.
Sun Junren couldn't help but shook his head.
As the former deputy director of the Communications Corps, Sun Junren has a deeper understanding of many intelligence aspects than many comrades at the same level.
Therefore, for Lu Guangda, Lao Guo and even Liu Bosheng, the development of meteorological Doppler radar, which is controversial, seems to have almost no feasibility.
The person on the other end of the phone, Liu Jie, obviously understood what Sun Junren meant. He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked another question:
"Dean Sun, I understand your thoughts very well, but is there a possibility...I mean a possibility..."
"What's possible?"
"Perhaps...someone - even the Chinese have deduced the principle of weather Doppler radar before Haidong? After all, although Haidang is very strong, it does not mean that they will always be the first
One, right?”
"?!"
........
After hanging up the phone.
Liu Bosheng called his assistant and asked him to forward the telegram to Sun Junren in encrypted form.
Finish these.
Liu Bosheng returned his attention to the document in front of him.
The document is about one centimeter thick, and at the top is written a line of comments that is almost identical to the title of the People's Daily:
[In person from Comrade Liu Bosheng]:
[Nowadays, the international situation is treacherous. Emperor Melody has just ascended to the throne. Jilongtan must be resentful for his failure on the stage. Suizong is short-sighted and arrogant. The two are like a ram that is bound to cause trouble. We must be on guard...
】
Below the comments are some content involving international trends.
Look at this comment.
Liu Bosheng's expression suddenly became serious.
Just as Factory 221 received foreign journals, the Tenth Academy received information from meteorological Doppler radars.
As the department directly responsible for the nuclear industry, the Second Ministry of Machinery naturally also obtained some secret information.
And compared to the information from the Tenth Academy, the date Liu Bosheng has is more recent.
For example, this report is sitting on his desk right now.
The report records in detail that Sakharov, who was responsible for the bear, had already begun to form a super hydrogen bomb development team last Wednesday.
The entire project is code-named AN602, with an equivalent capacity of 100 million tons. Some materials were shipped to Novaya Zemlya over the weekend.
With Maoxiong’s technical strength and resource accumulation, it is very likely that we will see the launch of Big Ivan before the end of the year.
People like Lao Guo and others may only have a vague premonition at this time, and there are even different opinions on the location of the accident.
For example, some people guessed it was a local chicken, while others said it was an Italian because both places have missile bases across the sea.
Some people think it will be Germany, after all, the Berlin Wall is just about to be erected there.
But for Liu Jie and higher-level bosses, they know one thing very well.
That is......
The next vortex is not in Europe, but in...
North America!
As for the time when the accident occurred, it should be within one to three years - it depends on the situation of the other two gangsters.
Therefore, the pressure on Liu Bosheng's shoulders is countless times greater than that of Lao Guo and others.
But now...
A small change seems to have occurred.
Liu Bosheng lowered his eyebrows, wrote the word "Han Li" on the paper, and circled it.
Of course.
As the dignified head of the Second Machinery Department, Liu Bosheng would naturally not be so naive as to think that this variable could accelerate the development of nuclear weapons.
It's even less possible to place your hopes on someone just because of these little things.
At this moment, he was actually thinking about another thought:
If that weather Doppler radar is indeed true, maybe you can try to operate some things...
Like...right?
Of course.
All of this has to wait for Sun Junren to get results.
............
And at the same time Liu Bosheng was waiting for Sun Junren's answer.
Longyou Province, thousands of kilometers away.
Jincheng.
This city, which later became famous for its non-existent beef ramen, was far less prosperous than it would be in later generations.
Today's Jincheng City is full of large roofs made of black tiles, only one or two stories high, or various towering factory chimneys.
The dust on the walkway flew up with the wind and connected with the gray air in the sky, forming a vicious formation of gray sand.
There is no obvious dividing line between the inside and outside of the city. Looking around, it seems that the loess slope in the distance is also connected to the city.
In the western suburbs of the city, in a place called Chaijiachuan, there is also a factory area that is no different from other factories in the city.
This factory is known to the outside world as a refining and chemical equipment factory, and it mainly refines and supplies oils needed for various industrial equipment.
But in fact.
There is also a number behind this factory called...
504 Factory.
That's right.
504 Factory.
It is one of the three major nuclear weapons development bases mentioned before, the Jincheng uranium enrichment plant used to provide enriched uranium.
At this moment.
Wang Jiefu, the director of Factory 504, was walking along a path in the factory with several older men and women with solemn faces.
The group of people walked very quickly.
Except for a few simple words like "go here", "turn left ahead" and "be careful of the steps", no one spoke during the whole process.
ten minutes later.
Wang Jiefu and others stopped outside a low building with a large area.
An orderly who had been waiting here quickly opened the door. Wang Jiefu made a gesture of invitation and quickly walked into the house with a few people.
This is an open room with an area of about 300 square meters. The surrounding walls have been simply painted, and many gray and white patches can be seen.
The room is divided into two by a piece of glass in the middle. Inside the glass is a production line with many machines.
Most of these machines are quite primitive and look like concrete mixers, but a few are relatively advanced.
Outside the glass stood more than 20 busy operators. They were wearing blue work clothes and dealing with various matters. From time to time, there were a few exchanges:
"Xiao Lin, how are you preparing the power supply? We must not make mistakes with the power supply this time."
"What about nitric acid? Another hundred kilograms of nitric acid... no, two hundred kilograms!"
"The values of uranium dioxide are full. Brother Zhang, please check the valve. If there is no problem, I will sign the operation order!"
"Has the carry counter been set up? I can only see a very weak green light..."
"It has been set up a long time ago. Low light is a long-standing problem with Mao Xiong's equipment. Mao Xiong's expert said when he left that he didn't need to worry about it."
While everyone was talking.
Wang Jiefu led several men and women to a middle-aged man with sparse hair and a slightly chubby look:
"Lao Yang, the comrades from the Institute of Atomic Energy are here."
The middle-aged man was originally directing the placement of an oval-shaped piece of equipment. When he saw this, he couldn't help but stop his movements and let out a cry.
Then he tilted his head and looked at everyone with his left eye open.
Seeing this, Wang Jiefu sighed in his heart, patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder twice, and said to the other men and women:
"Guys, let me introduce you."
"This is Comrade Yang Chengzong, deputy director of the Yanjing Uranium Research Institute. He is currently assisting in radioactive research at our base. He is now in charge of the entire project."
"Lao Yang, this is Comrade Qian Gaoyun of the observation team...This is Comrade Pei Lisheng...This is Comrade Huo Yuhao (there really is this person in the observation team)..."
Qian Gaoyun is a man with a Chinese character. After hearing Yang Chengzong's name, he immediately stretched out his hand and said with some reverence:
"Comrade Chengzong, I have admired you for a long time. Back then, you caused a huge scandal in our country over the uranyl nitrate incident!"
"I wanted to visit you when you were in Yanjing before. Unfortunately, due to confidentiality rules, I have never been able to meet you. I didn't expect that my dream would come true in Jincheng today."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chengzong just smiled politely and shook hands with Qian Gaoyun:
"Comrade Gao Yun, that's ridiculous."
The uranyl nitrate incident that Qian Gaoyun mentioned occurred seven years ago. At that time, the country was mobilizing a nationwide search for uranium mines, and many people internationally also knew about it.
So soon.
Several Hebrew businessmen visited Yanjing, claiming that they had a batch of enriched uranium and could sell it to rabbits.
At that time, when faced with the visit of the Hebrew businessman, Rabbit's senior management took it very seriously.
Because there were many Hebrews involved in the "Manhattan Project" responsible for the development of the atomic bomb, and even the leader of the project, Oppenheimer, was a Hebrew.
In addition, there are big figures like Einstein among the Hebrews. It can be said that they have a great say in the manufacture of nuclear weapons.
The information and resources obtained through their hands are still very reliable.
More importantly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In 1950, a big event happened across the sea:
At that time, it was intended to simulate the bombing of major enemy cities.
A B-36 bomber carrying a nuclear warhead flew from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, to Carswell Air Force Base, Texas.
At that time, it carried a Mark 4 atomic bomb, which had the same yield as the Nagasaki explosion that year. It contained a large amount of uranium and a large amount of conventional high explosives, but it lacked the plutonium core required to actually trigger a nuclear explosion.
But after takeoff.
The bomber encountered an unexpected situation, ice gradually began to accumulate on the fuselage, and the engine encountered fire and shut down.
Finally before the plane made an emergency landing.
Following military protocol that prohibited potential hostile forces from using the weapon (actually for fear of killing themselves in an atomic bomb explosion), the crew dropped its payload into the Pacific Ocean at an altitude of approximately 2,438 meters.
Similar situations have occurred many times since, and as of 2023, at least a dozen nuclear warheads are missing.
Therefore, at that time, the rabbits suspected that what the Hebrew businessman had was the enriched uranium for the nuclear bomb, and it was impossible not to be tempted.
However, at that time, the country lacked the heavy isotope mass spectrometer necessary to measure the content of uranium 235, and the rabbits were not sure whether the news was true or false for a while.
Later, after many discussions and decisions, the task of testing enriched uranium fell on Yang Chengzong—Yang Chengzong was one of the few radioactive researchers in the country at that time, and in a sense, it could be regarded as a priority for others.
Yang Chengzong also showed extraordinary ability after taking over this task, and found a new way to conduct detection based on the principle of radioactive transformation.
In the end, Yang Chengzong discovered that what the Hebrews wanted to sell to the rabbits was not enriched uranium at all, but uranyl nitrate.
Its uranium-235 isotope content is only equivalent to natural uranium ore and cannot reach weapons-grade uranium-235 concentration.
So the lies of the Hebrews were exposed.
But unfortunately.
Yang Chengzong, the hero, was injured during the repair process of the radium radiation source of Union Medical College Hospital. As a result, his right eye became completely blind a few years later, and his left eye also suffered from severe cataracts in his later years.
Nowadays, Yang Chengzong can only turn his head sideways when looking at people, and the whole process is very difficult.
After a while.
Wait until everyone has finished saying hello.
Wang Jiefu glanced at the running equipment, then glanced at the watch on his hand, and said:
"Okay everyone, our time is limited, why not start now..."
"Let's check it out."
........
Note:
I spent a huge amount of money (200 yuan) to customize a few ax keychains, and I will try to draw them later. I will study the details on how to draw them.
