Nuclear Commander Cheng Kaijia: A large plan on the small blackboard, it will not be Mandarin for a lifetime, but has the most beautiful love

On August 3, 1918, Cheng Kaijia was born in Wujiang, Jiangsu. In 1950, Cheng Kaijia resolutely returned to China that was abolished at that time after he learned in the UK. In 1963, he stepped into the "Sea of ​​Death" Lop Nur and took root in Gobi, desert for more than 20 years.

On November 17, 2018, Academician Cheng Kaijia died in Beijing at the age of 101. Cheng Kaijia said during his lifetime: "Someone often asked me about my own value and pursuit of life. I said that my goal was for the needs of the motherland. 'The value of life lies in dedication' is my belief. I can use all my energy to the scientific research cause I am engaged in. "

The veritable "nuclear commander"

Cheng Kaijia

In September 1964, a 102 -meter -high iron tower was erected in the depths of the vast Gobi Beach. The atomic bomb is installed on the top of the tower. On October 16th, on this iron tower, the shocking mushroom clouds rose, and China's first atomic bomb exploded successfully. At that time, General Zhang Aiping, who was in a hundred battles, picked up the microphone in the command post and said, "Prime Minister, we succeed, the atomic bomb exploded successfully!" Zhou Enlai was obviously very excited, but he asked in a calm tone: " Can you be sure that this is the nuclear explosion? "The scene suddenly became nervous, and he could hear even a needle to fall to the ground. Everyone's eyes turned to Cheng Kaijia. He was a technical expert. Cheng Kaijia frowned tightly. Based on the stress measuring meter recorded data, he waved hard and said firmly: "It's a nuclear explosion, yes!"

A few hours later, the anti -chemical soldiers entered the bursting place, and were surprised to find that the tower, weighing 80 tons, and 102 meters high, which was welded with seamless steel pipes, turned into a pile of thin "noodles" in the explosion of the atomic bomb. The situation on the scene proves that Cheng Kaijia's conclusion is correct.

After the first atomic bomb in my country burst on time, the automatic control system started thousands of instruments in an instant, and all the tests were completed in seconds. At that time, the French conducted the first nuclear test. The test instruments did not get any data, and the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union also only received some data, and my country received all the data. Cheng Kaijia, who is the person in charge of technology, has made a contribution in the middle.

From the establishment of a nuclear weapon test in 1962 to the departure of the nuclear test base in 1984, Cheng Kaijia has presided over and decided to work on the overall work of my country's nuclear test technology. The more than 30 types of nuclear tests he planned and hosted by his plan basically reached the requirements of "stable and reliable, unparalleled" proposed by Premier Zhou. He is the scientist with the largest number of nuclear tests in my country, and at the same time, it is also the founder and leader of my country's nuclear test technology.

A large plan is calculated on the small blackboard

Cheng Kaijia has a unique habit: always loves to act as a big topic on the small blackboard. There is a small blackboard with a coffee table in his house, and there is a blackboard in the office. Later, he moved a new home, left a wall, and put on a blackboard.

Cheng Kaijia is a well -known expert, and the computer must be handy when he gets up, but he has a soft spot for the small black board. What kind of problem, what plan thinks about, and do something, always love to write and draw on the small blackboard. Over time, there are really many inspirations on the small blackboard.

What method does the first prototype explode? The original plan was originally thrown with an airplane. Cheng Kaijia analyzed the original empty explosion plan. He believed that the first test was thrown with an airplane, and the difficulty of test synchronization and aiming at the first test, which was difficult to measure the various effects of the atomic bomb. The second is to ensure that the safety of bombing aircraft is too difficult. Cheng Kaijia carefully calculated on his small blackboard, and finally proposed the solution that practically used the 100 -meter tower explosion atomic bullet at that time.

One unwilling task

Once, Cheng Kaijia reported the safety of the hydrogen bomb airdrop test in Beijing.

Premier Zhou asked: "Is the aircraft be sure to be safe?"

A deputy commander of the Air Force at the scene pointed at Cheng Kaijia and said, "He knows."

Premier Zhou's eyes turned to Cheng Kaijia.

"Safety is absolutely no problem." Cheng Kaijia answered very simply.

Premier Zhou asked very carefully. He answered like Liu Liu, but the dialect was too heavy. As soon as Cheng Kaijia's words fell, the Prime Minister suddenly asked: "Comrade Cheng Kaijia, how old are you?" Cheng Kaijia stunned, and he didn't answer it for a while. The Prime Minister smiled and said: "Comrade Cheng Kaijia, you have to learn to talk, your‘ Wu language ’people do n’t understand!"

In 2010, Cheng Kaijia was 92 years old. He was still in a hurry, and he still had a strong Wu Jiangkou. Speaking of the accent, Cheng Kaijia couldn't help but regret: "I have completed the scientific research tasks given to me by the Prime Minister, but the task of learning the call is not completed."

The best love

In the 1970s, at the willow tree in Hongshan's house

Cheng Kaijia's achievement, half of his wife, Gao Yaoshan, who worked as a professor of physics at Nanjing University, Gao Yaoshan was a worker at the school. Later, Cheng Kaijia began to develop nuclear weapons in Lop Nur, Xinjiang, and Gao Yaoshan became a full -time housewife, taking care of Cheng Lao's life. She wore an old military uniform with patch, carried iron crickets, and went to open wasteland land with the family members of the army. She planted radishes, potatoes, Chinese cabbage, pigs, picking cow dung, and drying any farm. One -handed, one -handed calluses, sometimes some technicians came to ask for a tutorial to open the armor. They thought that Gao Yaoshan, who was enthusiastic and kind and kind, was the nanny of the Cheng family. Later, Gao Yaoshan was old, suffered from cerebral infarction, his brain was sober and confused, his limbs were weak, his hands and feet were numb, and his movement was inconvenient. In order to make his wife happy, Cheng Kaijia must accompany his wife to see the colorful lights of Tiananmen and Changan Street. In the car, Cheng Kaijia gently sorted out the silver silk that was blown by the wind, staring at her face tortured her face, and her eyes could not help but surge. When talking about the love of his parents, Cheng Kaijia's daughter said, "Dad has only loved my mother in this life, and never disliked her. He only has his academic research and mother in his heart."
