Chapter 1661 Chapter 1663 [Two bombs and one star]
In March 1949, Xiang Nan's family of three arrived in Peiping, which was not long after liberation.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan officially issued a statement, announcing that he had returned to China and would devote his whole life to the construction of New China.
As soon as the news came out, the world shook.
Actually, after Xiang Nan led his family to travel to Egypt, no news came out. Everyone thought something had happened to him.
After all, in 1948, Egypt was still not at peace, and warlords, bandits, and bandits were rampant, and Xiang Nan's family was likely to be in danger.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that their family returned to China secretly, which is really puzzling.
You know, he has fame, status, and wealth in the United States. It can be said that he is a winner in life and has everything he expects.
In comparison, China is poor and backward, with depression in all industries. In terms of economy, technology, military, culture and many other conditions, it is far from being comparable to the United States.
Because of this, many people find it difficult to understand Xiang Nan's choice.
But Einstein, as a close friend of Xiang Nan for more than ten years, approved of his approach very much.
"Science has no borders, but scientists have borders. Mr. Xu is a patriotic person. He wants to return to his motherland, which is understandable.
What we need to consider is, why does someone like him, who is famous, has status, has a clean background, and has never committed any mistakes, choose such a sneaky way to return to China? ’” Einstein said in an interview.
His speech embarrassed the United States.
Because since the outbreak of the civil war, the government has suffered successive defeats, and the founding of the new China is expected. Many people with lofty ideals hope to return to China and contribute to the construction of the motherland.
However, in order to prevent Chinese scientists from returning to China, the United States has always used open and covert methods to prevent them from going back to China. They even resorted to extreme measures such as house arrest and imprisonment.
Because of this, Xiang Nan chose this way to return home quietly. So there was nothing wrong with Xiang Nan who returned to China, what was wrong was the stumbling block in the United States.
…
After returning to China, Xiang Nan devoted himself to the construction of New China.
The first task is infrastructure construction. Only when the basic construction is initially completed and the foundation is laid, can we build airplanes, cannons, automobiles, ships, and atomic bombs...
And to carry out infrastructure construction, it must have enough talents. So Xiang Nan's first job was to teach and educate people at Peking University.
He taught a total of three courses, high energy physics, mechanical engineering and chemical engineering, trying to teach more talents to build the country.
While teaching and educating people, he also participated in the construction of many large-scale projects, such as Anshan Iron and Steel Plant, Shengjing Machine Tool Plant, Hujiang Shipyard and so on.
Xiang Nan is proficient in many fields such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, construction, machinery, etc., and also understands business and knowledge management. With his participation, these projects were quickly introduced and launched quickly.
New China has just been established, and a lot of waste is waiting to be rebuilt. Every extra day of time gained will be of great benefit to the country. Therefore, Xiang Nan worked tirelessly and made outstanding contributions.
While Xiang Nan was devoting himself to building the country, Feng Chengcheng was not idle. She also entered Peking University and was responsible for teaching French. She has lived in France for many years and speaks French quite fluently.
Moreover, she studied French literature in college, and she also has a considerable degree of research on French, so she is very suitable as a teacher. In the future, she also trained a large number of foreign language talents for the country, and played a major role in the fields of diplomacy, foreign trade, and translation.
As for Xu Anbang, after returning to China, he studied in the Primary School Affiliated to Peking University. Fortunately, when he was in the United States, Xiang Nan often taught him Mandarin, so there was no big problem for him to go to school.
…
Xiang Nan read the newspaper that the former Hujiang tycoon Ding Li was caught by a team of the People's Liberation Army when he fled Xiangjiang.
It turned out that Ding Li did not expect the People's Liberation Army to march so fast, and he thought that the army of the national government would be able to withstand it for a while. Therefore, he didn't have time to escape, but stayed in Hujiang and was busy packing up his property, preparing to bring more money to Xiangjiang so that he could continue to enjoy the blessings.
As a result, when the army arrived, it was too late for him to escape. But he was still reluctant to give up those gold, dollars, jewelry, etc., so he insisted on setting off with a large convoy.
Therefore, the speed of escape is very slow, and the target is also very large, so naturally it was targeted as expected. Subsequently, Ding Li was arrested and imprisoned, and executed for traitor half a year later.
When Xiang Nan heard about this, he was deeply moved.
He expected that Ding Li would die in a bad way, and now it really came true.
Thinking back then, when he first went to Hujiang, Ding Li was still a poor fruit seller, and his biggest dream was to hang out on Xiafei Road and play in the Paramount Ballroom for a night.
Now it is full of evil, and there is more than enough death, which is really embarrassing.
…
In October 1949, Xiang Nan also met Ouyang Han, whom he had not seen for a long time.
He used to work in Guanzhong, but recently returned to the capital. Now he is an author, screenwriter, and engaged in literary and artistic work.
"Wen Qiang, you are back." He looked at Xiang Nandao excitedly.
"Of course, didn't I make an appointment with you? I will come back to build the motherland. How about it? Did I not break my promise?" Xiang Nan laughed.
Before going to the United States that year, Ouyang Han and Lu Qiubai said goodbye to Xiang Nan, and agreed that Xiang Nan would return to the mainland to serve the country after the success of the revolution. Now he really came back.
"Of course not." Ouyang Han nodded, "Unfortunately, Qiubai couldn't see this scene."
"Yes, what a pity." Xiang Nan nodded, "If he is reborn, he will be very happy to see the present China."
"Well, Wen Qiang, let's shoulder Qiu Bai's expectations and continue to struggle." Ouyang Han suggested.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, it's a deal!"
…
In 1950, Xiang Nan submitted the outline of the [Two Bombs and One Satellite] plan, hoping that the country could develop atomic bombs, missiles and satellites.
His suggestion was heeded enough that the country soon began to plan.
In 1952, Xiang Nan passed the background check and was officially included in the atomic bomb research and development team. However, from then on, he needs to remain anonymous, and may not be able to meet his family or move around outside for a long period of time.
Xiang Nan expressed his understanding of this.
He bid farewell to Feng Chengcheng and Xu Anbang, and then entered the research base to participate in the research of the atomic bomb.
Feng Chengcheng also understood Xiang Nan's approach very well. It's not like she hasn't seen the scenes of many great powers showing off their might in Hujiang back then.
And the numerous crimes committed by Dongying in China are obvious to all and empathizes with her. She also knows deeply that if you lag behind, you will be beaten.
To avoid falling behind, you must have the most advanced weapons. The atomic bomb is undoubtedly the most powerful weapon in the world so far.
Because of this, Xiang Nan wants to participate in the research and development of high-end weapons, and she is very supportive.
