It is said that after the successful development of China's atomic bomb, Mr. Yang Zhenning asked Mr. Deng Jiaxian whether any foreigners had participated in the development of the atomic bomb, and when he received a positive answer: After no foreigners participated in China's atomic project, Mr. Yang was so excited that he burst into tears.
Because this represents the scientific and technological strength of our Chinese.
But what Deng Jiaxian didn't make clear is that among them, he is personally meritorious, and he is also called because of this"The Father of the Second Bomb".
Deng Jiaxian was born on June 25, 1924 in Huaining, Anhui Province, and his father was the famous esthetician Deng Yisting.
Since childhood, Deng Jiaxian has shown an amazing talent for learning. When he was three or four years old, he was able to memorize and memorize many ancient poems. With his amazing memory and learning talent, in 1941, 17-year-old Deng Jiaxian was admitted to the Department of Physics of Southwest Associated University.
It was also here that he met and maintained a lifelong friendship with Mr. Yang Zhenning.
In 1945, Deng Jiaxian graduated from Southwest Associated University.
In 1948, Deng Jia first embarked on the road of studying in the United States and studied in the Department of Physics of Purdue University in the United States.
Surprisingly, it took him less than 2 years to complete the credits and get his Ph.D.
On the ninth day after receiving his doctorate, without a single delay, he hurried to the ...... of the ship returning home with his bagsBecause he knows that the scientific and technological cause of the motherland needs him.
In 1950, the first thing Deng Jia did after returning to China was to devote himself to the construction of the Institute of Modern Physics in China.
In 1958, Qian Sanqiang, director of the Atomic Energy Research Institute, suddenly found Deng Jiaxian. After a brief conversation between the two, Deng Jia returned home first.
There were no extra words, Deng Jiaxian simply packed his luggage and said goodbye to his wife in a hurry.
Since then, Deng Jiaxian has rarely returned home, and every time he comes and leaves in a hurry.
He never mentions the reason for his departure, just repeats one sentence:
My work will be almost done, and then our family will not be separated. ”
As for what his job is, where he works, and why he can't say it, Deng Jia didn't say it first, and his wife didn't ask much.
In this way, the tacit understanding between the two has lasted for 28 years ......
Maybe the wife knows, maybe she doesn't know, maybe she knows and pretends not to know, how affectionate and patriotic this is!
It was not until 1986 that Deng Jiaxian was hospitalized for rectal cancer, and in the last month of his life, the state made Deng Jiaxian's work public, for no other reason, because heroes cannot be nameless forever!
It was also at that time that Deng Jiaxian's wife learned about her husband's work ...... for the first time
In the past 28 years, Deng Jiaxian has developed atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs for the country in the deserted Gobi.
The cancer he suffered from was ...... caused by radiation when he was developing the hydrogen bomb
The people of the whole country are boiling, and the global scientific and technological community has suddenly realized that it was Deng Jiaxian, and it must be Deng Jiaxian, and only Deng Jiaxian...
Old friend Yang Zhenning was also very excited, and during the visit, Mr. Yang asked Deng Jiaxian a question: "How much bonus did the state give you if the two bombs were successful?" ”
How much? 20 yuan, 10 yuan for the atomic bomb, 10 yuan for the hydrogen bomb, adding up to a total of 20 yuan. ”
I heard it right, I wrote it right, it's 20 yuan.
It turned out that at a time when the country was in extreme difficulty, the treasury was almost emptied for the study of atomic and hydrogen bombs. Even these bonuses are also saved by the state from between the teeth.
Due to the large number of scientists involved in the research, for the sake of fairness, the special prize for the atomic bomb was divided into three tiers and divided equally among each participant.
The first level is 10 yuan, the second level is 5 yuan, and the third level is 3 yuan.
The same is true for the prize money for the hydrogen bomb.
As the "father of the two bombs", Deng Jiaxian naturally got the first level of bonuses, 10 yuan for the atomic bomb and 10 yuan for the hydrogen bomb.
The 20 yuan may be funny, but is it funny? Not at all, the weight of this 20 yuan is more than 20,000, 200,000, or even 2 million ......
Because this represents the deep affection of that generation of scientists for the cause of the country! It also represents the selfless dedication of the older generation of scientific and technological workers.
Even a few months before his death, Deng Jiaxian was still thinking about the development of the motherland's nuclear industry, and wrote a proposal with a trembling hand.
It is precisely this proposal that directly and indirectly guided China's nuclear test for the next 10 years, and played a huge role in promoting the development of China's nuclear industry.
That's what we do. They are nobler than all the stars, and they do more than all the rich.
And what each of us should remember most in our hearts should be such a person, not someone else!
