Chapter 443
the next day.
After understanding the specific situation, Zeng Jiwen met with He Ping and Yuan Zi separately.
Zeng Jiwen sat at his desk under the dim light. The maps and documents on the desk gave off a faint smell of paper.
His eyes swept over the two people in front of him.
He Ping is thin and wears a pair of dark-rimmed glasses.
Looking at the two of them, Zeng Jiwen felt a little emotional.
He had originally thought that he needed to wait until those people had completed their studies before he could start this project.
But unexpectedly, he met these people in Shanghai.
He Ping studied under Bohr. In addition to being proficient in mechanical manufacturing, he also followed his mentor to study microphysics.
Yuan Zi is a chemistry expert who specializes in catalyst and high-energy material research. She has a calm personality but a hint of unyielding tenacity.
"This time, besides understanding the situation at the Arsenal, my main purpose in coming here is for you two."
Zeng Jiwen looked at the two of them and spoke in a deep voice, his fingers tapping on the table.
Looking at the two of them, Zeng Jiwen looked a little serious.
“You two have a heavy mission this time, and you might even sacrifice yourself.
Are you afraid? "
"We are willing to follow the arrangements."
He Ping pushed his glasses up, his eyes sparkling.
Yuan Zi was not willing to be outdone.
Seeing Zeng Jiwen's serious expression today, both of them understood that it must be an extremely difficult task.
There was even a hint of speculation in my heart.
Zeng Jiwen nodded slowly, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the rolling hills of Huangyadong in the distance.
He continued, "This time, I need you to go to the border."
After saying that, he continued.
“This is an unprecedented project.
Your colleagues in Luxembourg have already been involved in a similar project."
Yuan Zi and He Ping frowned slightly when they heard Zeng Jiwen's words.
The speculations in their minds were about to come out.
"We have insufficient talent pool and limited industrial base." He Ping thought for a moment and said with some concern.
"I've done a lot of preparation."
Zeng Jiwen turned around, his eyes sharp.
“Experts in the north will provide support for equipment construction, the factory in the rear is being renovated, and we have even selected a site to establish a new experimental base.
Weren't you two very confused before, why I sent so many people to study atomic physics?
Most of them are back now.
It's your assistant.
The experts coming from the north need you to divide the work.
They only know what they are doing, not what they are doing.”
He Ping and Yuan Zi took a deep breath, they knew what was going on.
When that discovery is discovered by the physics community, it will definitely cause a huge stir.
"Your task is to be responsible for chemical research, especially the extraction and stabilization of nuclear materials." Zeng Jiwen looked at Yuan Zi.
"I understand. I will start studying the extraction and fission reaction of uranium." Yuan Zi nodded firmly.
"He Ping, your job is more complicated."
Zeng Jiwen continued.
"The design of the reactor, the aerodynamic analysis of the bomb, and the development of the detonator—each link is crucial."
“I need a strong team.”
He Ping paused and said, "It would be best to gather some comrades who are familiar with high-energy physics."
"We are already looking for candidates. Some are in Lanzhou, and some are in various research institutes in the north."
Zeng Jiwen said slowly, "Your mission, the entire plan, is internally codenamed 395."
There was a brief silence in the room.
He Ping and Yuan Zi looked at each other, and there was a heavy sense of responsibility in each other's eyes.
"When do we leave?" He Ping broke the silence.
"In three days, a troop will come to escort you." Zeng Jiwen said in a low voice.
He Ping nodded, his thoughts already flying into the future.
Nuclear fission, reactors, industrial preparation, every link is an unknown challenge.
Yuan Zi was silently calculating in her mind the equipment, reagents, and experimental instruments she needed to take away.
It may even be necessary to build new laboratories in the rear.
"Remember, your mission is not just research."
Zeng Jiwen finally reminded, "We must ensure that confidentiality is absolutely secure."
He Ping and Yuan Zi nodded solemnly. They knew that this mission concerned the fate of the nation.
Three days later, Zeng Jiwen stood alone outside Changzhi City, watching He Ping and Yuan Zi leave under the escort of a group of people.
There was a hint of silence on his face.
When they left, they didn't know when they would see each other again.
After dealing with the affairs of He Ping and Yuan Zi, Zeng Jiwen began to busy himself with the construction of the bases in Shanxi and Hebei.
After resolving the issue in southwestern Shanxi this time, the transportation channel between them and the rear area was directly opened.
On the 24th, at a residence in Tongguan.
slap~
A teacup suddenly shattered on the ground.
"What!
He Zeng Jiwen has gone too far in bullying others!"
Yan Laoxi was holding the teacup and about to drink tea when he heard what Zhao Daiwen said who was sitting next to him.
Then he threw the teacup to the ground.
Then he stood up and walked around the room with his hands behind his back.
"The Japanese are not to be trifled with.
The south, the south cannot be provoked.
Now even the Eighth Route Army is bullying me, Old Xier!"
Yan Laoxi kept complaining.
Looking at Zhao Daiwen, there was a complaining look on his face.
"My brother Cilong, why did you agree to Zeng Jiwen's conditions?
This is like putting me on a leash, so I dare not move."
After saying that, he kept complaining.
Zhao Daiwen, who was sitting next to him, heard Yan Laoxi's complaints but ignored him.
He picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
Then he sighed.
"Baichuan, can't you see it?
Go to Luoyang, and see if that person has anything to say to you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Laoxi's face suddenly turned unhappy.
Said depressedly.
"It was they who initially instigated us to attack the Eighth Route Army.
I went there, and he just pulled me aside to talk some useless nonsense. He kept silent about this matter. "
Zhao Daiwen sighed when he heard this.
"Isn't it obvious? He's planning to dismantle our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"Can!
If we really agree to Zeng Jiwen's conditions, we will be controlled by the Eighth Route Army in the future.
We are just a piece of meat on their chopping board, and they can do whatever they want to us.
"
Hearing this, Zhao Daiwen shook his head.
"What if you don't agree?
Baichuan, Zeng Jiwen is not like other people, he is not that easy to talk to.
If you don't agree, I think the tens of thousands of troops at Fenglingdu will cross the river.
Maybe the one in Luoyang will also send troops from Xi'an."
Upon hearing this, Yan Laoxi immediately showed a sad look on his face.
He now deeply regrets it.
Why provoke the Eighth Route Army?
If they hadn't listened to the lies from the south and the Japanese, they wouldn't be huddled in Tongguan now.
When Yan Laoxi thought of his decades of hard work, he suddenly felt a little heartbroken.
