Chapter 791 The Flower of Hope Blooming in the Sea of Death (Part 2)
"The nuclear explosion... is about to begin."
"...."
I heard what Lao Guo said.
Xu Yun's hands holding the wheelchair tightened subconsciously.
This moment is finally coming...
Although compared to neutron bombs and intercontinental missiles, atomic bombs are technically relatively primitive.
But compared to the previous two weapons, the properties of the atomic bomb are much more special.
It's a bit like "Unforgettable Tonight" on the Spring Festival Gala, during which many interesting programs appeared, such as "Sitting Alone on Jingting Mountain" and "Little Ni's Poker" and so on.
But in terms of moral alone, "Unforgettable Tonight" is the real protagonist.
The atomic bomb is equivalent to this "Unforgettable Tonight". No matter how exciting the previous hilltop and magic tricks are, they can't compare to this real finale.
The rabbits paid too much for the atomic bomb. Some of the costs can be made up for in the future, but some can never be recovered.
Not to mention that this atomic bomb test was broadcast live across the country unprecedentedly, truly attracting worldwide attention.
Of course.
For Xu Yun, the most reluctant thing is to say goodbye.
"..."
Then Xu Yun raised his chin slightly, closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the dusty air, and then looked at Lao Guo:
"Lao Guo, let's go too."
When Lao Guo heard this, he patted Xu Yun's shoulder lightly and said nothing.
As one of the few experts who knew Xu Yun's origins, Lao Guo also knew that Xu Yun would leave after the nuclear explosion. To be honest, he actually felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, in the past few days, we were all comrades who got along day and night, and we had already formed a profound revolutionary friendship with each other. Xu Yun was about to leave forever, and we would never see each other again in this life, and no one would be in a good mood.
However, Lao Guo is a person who has experienced many separations after all, and his personality is inherently reserved, so he did not show too much emotion at this time.
Then Lao Guo personally pushed Xu Yun's wheelchair to a prepared jeep.
This jeep was the same modified vehicle that Xu Yun took when he first came to Lop Nur. The passenger seat had been removed in advance, and Xu Yun easily sat in the back seat.
At this moment.
Lao Guo and Xu Yun were not the only ones evacuating the launch pad. Other technicians also received instructions to evacuate the site.
"Xiao Li, have you brought everything?"
"Engineer Chen, someone can help me!"
"Old Lin, move that cow a little further, five meters to the left!"
"Comrade, your wig was blown away by the wind!"
Nearly a thousand staff members passed by Xu Yun's vehicle one after another. Some of them were responsible for equipment verification, and some were porters. Nuclear tests require the preparation of many living biological samples. This time, the organization increased the number of 300 people.
There were many large and small animals testing the power, and there were also many retired military equipment. The formation was much larger than the first small-scale nuclear test that Xu Yun participated in.
"Guo Gong!"
More than ten minutes later, a man with a Chinese character in military uniform walked quickly to Lao Guo:
"Gong Guo, all on-site equipment and personnel have been evacuated to their respective vehicles, and the convoy will set off in ten minutes."
Lao Guo nodded towards the man in military uniform:
"clear."
The man in military uniform smiled honestly and pointed in another direction:
"Gong Guo, this is the last unit I have notified. Now that the notification is complete, I will return to the command vehicle first."
Lao Guo nodded naturally, but before the man took two steps, he suddenly thought of something:
"By the way, Lao Huang, wait a moment!"
The man in military uniform stopped:
"Guo Gong, what's going on?"
Lao Guo waved to him, motioning him to return to the car, then turned to Xu Yun and said:
"Xiao Xu, do you know who this comrade is?"
Xu Yun was looking out the window in a trance. Hearing this, he subconsciously turned his head and stared at the man with the Chinese character face for a while:
"Lao Guo, this comrade is..."
The man who was talking to Lao Guo was tall, with a shaved head. In addition to his Chinese character face, he also had a very obvious plateau red color, so he was quite recognizable.
However, Xu Yun went through a complete circle in his mind and did not remember who the other party was. He probably had never met him before.
The expression of the man in military uniform was also a little confused. He looked like Kennedy with dandruff, and he was a little confused.
Lao Guo smiled when he saw this, pointed at Xu Yun and said to the man with the Chinese character face:
"Old Huang, look at the scars on Xiao Xu's face again. Do you remember anything?"
The man in military uniform stared at Xu Yun's face for a while, then slapped his head:
"Gong Guo, is this comrade the thief who was rescued from our factory last year?"
Factory, thief.
Hearing these two words, Xu Yun quickly thought of something and tentatively asked the man in military uniform:
"Comrade, could it be that you are...Huang Weiguo, Factory Director Huang?"
"Hey......"
The man in military uniform's eyes widened even more when he heard this, and he glanced back and forth at Lao Guo and Xu Yun repeatedly:
"It's really you... No, you... How did you become an expert? No, are you still alive?"
Lao Guo, who had been in a low mood before, finally couldn't help but grinned and burst out laughing.
That's right.
At this time, the man in military uniform who appeared in front of Lao Guo and Xu Yun turned out to be Huang Weiguo, the director of the Way Kiln Factory in Guide County.
Xu Yun was rescued from the fire in the Way Kiln Factory workshop, and then a series of subsequent stories happened.
Huang Weiguo himself is a member of the peripheral confidentiality system of the 221 Base. Although he does not hold a position in the 221 Base, he is one of the few remaining meritorious deeds of the Zhongyuan Mountain Hero Company.
After the enemy agents led by Chen Wenliang were captured, many secret fronts around the 211 base underwent personnel changes, and Huang Weiguo was one of them.
After several years of experience in production and personnel management, he was transferred from Guide County to the Malan base and became a middle-level cadre responsible for logistics dispatch.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unexpectedly, on this occasion, Huang Weiguo actually appeared in front of Xu Yun.
Looking at this tall red-faced man, Xu Yun's mood was a little subtle for a moment.
When he first entered the dungeon, Huang Weiguo 'welcomed' him. Now that he was about to leave, Huang Weiguo came to 'send' him off again.
This can be considered a beginning and an end...
"Old Huang."
After laughing, Lao Guo patted the car window gently and said to Huang Weiguo:
"Don't underestimate Xiao Xu. He's very capable. Didn't you see that I had to be his driver?"
"It's no exaggeration to say that without Xiao Xu, our atomic bomb wouldn't be able to explode."
"scare....."
Huang Weiguo's eyes suddenly widened even more, as if his biu might pop out at any time:
"Guo Gong, are you telling the truth?"
"of course it's true."
Lao Guo nodded seriously, sighed slightly, and said:
"Old Huang, there should be some misunderstandings between you and Xiao Xu. After all, Xiao Xu's situation at that time was indeed a bit embarrassing."
"To put it simply, Xiao Xu is a talented person who smuggled himself back to China from other places. He had no choice but to come to your tile kiln factory."
"Of course, the specific process here is more complicated and far from as simple as I said. However, Xiao Xu's character is still quite reliable. You two... are destined to be together."
"I see....."
Huang Weiguo touched his chin with his calloused palm and said slowly:
"No wonder Guo Gong, you acted a little weird when you saw that piece of paper. It seems that the piece of paper must be related to Comrade Xiao Xu's identity?"
Lao Guo nodded affirmatively:
"That's right."
Huang Weiguo was slightly relieved now, that's what the co-authorship was about.
At that time, Lao Guo said to the outside world that Xu Yun was related to a theft of 5,000 yuan. However, Huang Weiguo once glanced at the piece of paper. Although he could not understand the content on it, he was sure that it was in English and related to theft.
There seems to be some mismatch in the case.
Now that Lao Guo has explained it like this, he has solved a small unsolved case.
Then Huang Weiguo looked around and said to Xu Yun:
"Comrade Xiao Xu, since Guo Gong said this, then we are our own!"
"Besides, it's fate that we can meet now. Let's wait until today is over, and Lao Huang, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Looking at Huang Weiguo, who was extremely straightforward, Xu Yun really couldn't bear to offend this cheerful man, so he could only nod lightly:
"Okay, Director Huang, I'll have a drink with you when I get the chance."
Upon hearing this, Huang Weiguo saluted Xu Yun and Lao Guo with a military salute, then strode back to his command vehicle.
Xu Yun shook his head helplessly. This was another promise that could not be fulfilled...
It was less than ten minutes after Huang Weiguo left.
Wuchichichi...
The sound of an engine starting suddenly sounded from the front of this area, followed by the second...the third...
Then very quickly.
Xu Yun felt a slight vibration under the seat, and Lao Guo also started the car.
Another minute or so passed.
The jeep slowly started to move forward, its wheels raising a cloud of dust on the ground.
All members of the 221 project team officially began to evacuate the site, leaving only the atomic bomb and various experimental samples in the entire launch area.
Above the convoy, a helicopter followed at a moderate height, conducting specialized tracking and shooting.
This time, the Rabbits specially set up multiple ground receiving stations for the live broadcast, using technology similar to slow scan TV.
This system is narrow-band and is full of shortcomings, but there is only one thing that makes it great - this thing can transmit images in the form of wireless broadcast.
It distinguishes different light and dark through small changes in frequency, and then modulates such light and dark signals line by line and frame by frame. In theory, anywhere you can listen to the broadcast, you can receive SSTV images.
So it's very fast.
This long line of vehicles filling the yellow sand sky appeared on TV screens everywhere.
This kind of overhead shot similar to the Dakar Rally was quite common in later generations, but in this era it is really new.
Ever since.
Along with the dust flying all over the sky, there is also a sense of expectation from the people across the country...
after an hour.
A long queue of more than thirty vehicles stopped at a place outside the Gobi Desert. The straight-line distance from the center of the explosion is 55 kilometers, called Baiyungang.
Also....
The headquarters of this nuclear explosion is located.

Note:
Originally, this plot was divided into two chapters, but due to physical reasons, it could only be divided into three chapters. The number of words in each chapter is a little over 3,000. The physical condition is indeed very bad...
