In 1964, a news that excited the people of the whole Chinese was published by a magazine, that is, China's first atomic bomb test, the successful test explosion of the first atomic bomb, laid a good foundation for the development of China's nuclear weapons, and is also a milestone in China's nuclear weapons.
The scientific and technological personnel who studied and produced this atomic bomb turned out to be a female comrade- Wang Chengshu. Everyone knows that in the history of China and even abroad, female physics researchers are very rare. The only people of the world who are known are Marie Curie, who discovered natural radioactivity with her husband Pierre Curie and won the Nobel Prize.
It is conceivable that Marie Curie's contribution to the study of world physics. And Wang Chengshu, a female comrade of Chinese physics research, has the elegant name of "Chinese Marie Curie". It can be seen that Wang Chengshu has made contributions to the study of Physics in China.
1. Wang Chengshu, who disappeared
During the revolutionary period, Wang Chengshu, a female master who was personally invited back from the United States by Premier Zhou, disappeared for more than 30 years. Until more than 30 years later, when Deng Gong met her on a visit to the 504 factory, when Deng Gong saw Wang Chengshu, he was surprised: It turns out that you are here! After that, Wang Chengshu reappeared in people's field of vision.
Why did Wang Chengshu disappear from people's vision when our country needed her the most? This has to start from when Wang Chengshu was just studying.
2. Physics researcher Wang Chengshu
Wang Chengshu grew up in a family of poets. Wang Chengshu has been at the top of her grades since elementary school. However, Wang Chengshu, who was influenced by family literature from childhood to adulthood, and Wang Chengshu, who was admitted to a higher education institution with excellent results, abandoned the literature and chose to study physics when choosing a major.
During his studies at Yenching University, Wang Chengshu was not arrogant and impatient, and humbly asked the teacher for advice and learning. During her classes in college, she has always maintained the spirit of "breaking the sand pot and asking the end", often delving into the questions raised by teachers. Sometimes even teachers are overwhelmed by the questions raised by Wang Chengshu, which shows how serious Wang Chengshu's learning spirit is.
The university not only provided Wang Chengshu with knowledge of physics, but also allowed Wang Chengshu to find a role model for her life here - Marie Curie, who has worked harder to study physics since she found her own example in the book, which also provides a strong knowledge base for her subsequent research on the atomic bomb.
Yenching University is a feng shui treasure land for Wang Chengshu! Here she not only learned more about physics, found her own learning example, but also met her husband Zhang Wenyu.
Zhang Wenyu's family conditions are not good, but the hardship of family conditions did not hinder Zhang Wenyu's further study, he relied on his talent and hard work, successfully obtained a university diploma, and then became a teacher of the university, when Wang Chengshu happened to be a student of the university, the two met each other and fell in love, so the two entered the marriage hall.
Wang Chengshu decided to continue to promote himself after obtaining his diploma at the university, so he stayed at the university to continue his master's studies, and after the completion of his master's studies, Wang Chengshu was once again admitted to a university in the United States with his excellent results and outstanding performance in the university. Wang Chengshu is the only female student admitted to this batch of students at the American university.
Third, Wang Chengshu's plan to return to China was blocked
The authoritative professor of international physics, Wu Nong Baker, is Wang Chengshu's teacher at the American University, and under the professor of Wu Nong Baker, Wang Chengshu's knowledge of physics has been further expanded. And Wu Yan Baker is not only Wang Chengshu's teacher, but also Wang Chengshu's excellent partner.
Wang Chengshu and Professor Wu Nonbeck jointly created the hot equation of physics, which is today's Wang Chengshu-Wu Nonbeck equation. However, because of Wang Chengshu's excellent performance in physics, Wang Chengshu was blocked by the American women when he wanted to return to The land of China.
In fact, what prevented Wang Chengshu from returning to China was not only the reason for the US side, but also the fact that Wang Chengshu was already pregnant at that time, and it was inconvenient to travel a long way back from the United States to China, so Wang Chengshu had to delay his plan to return to China.
Fourth, Wang Chengshu's change in this regard
Finally, in 1956, through Premier Zhou's communication with the U.S. Foreign Ministry, Wang Chengshu finally returned to the arms of his Chinese mother. After returning to China, Wang Chengshu wanted to start scientific research immediately, but the mainland's economic development was backward at that time, and there was not enough ability to support Wang Chengshu to conduct physical research.
But Wang Chengshu said: "Even if the country does not have scientific research capabilities, I cannot sit still, I want to participate in the preparation of physical research conditions, because my physical research work is in China." Subsequently, Wang Chengshu began to devote himself to the preparation of physical research conditions.
At that time, the research direction of China was different from that of Wang Chengshu in the United States, but this difficulty did not make Wang Chengshu give up, in order to contribute to the country, she rose to the challenge and changed her research direction.
Wang Chengshu's first change in research direction was nuclear fusion, and at that time, China was still a blank in the research. Wang Cheng wrote about the situation, and a few days later, a book on nuclear fusion written by Wang Chengshu appeared on Qian Sanqiang's desk, and the book now appears in the university classroom.
Wang Chengshu then devoted himself to the study of nuclear fusion, and a few years later, Wang Chengshu became a professional in the study of nuclear fusion in the mainland, and Wang Chengshu also trained a group of scientists for the development of nuclear weapons in China in the future.
Wang Chengshu's research direction once again changed to study the separation of uranium isotopes, which was a key condition for the development of the atomic bomb. At that time, because of the deterioration of Relations between China and the Soviet Union, China's research on this project can be said to have gone from existence to nothing.
But Wang Chengshu was very happy to participate in the study. But studying uranium extraction required some sacrifice, which was a secretive exercise in China at the time, so people involved in the work were not allowed to contact the outside world, even their own families.
For the sake of the country's uranium extraction research cause, Wang Chengshu had to choose to keep his family secret or even disappear from his family. Wang Chengshu threw herself into scientific research projects after she disappeared, and in her and other researchers' day-to-day research, China's first atomic bomb was successfully tested.
summary:
This is also the reason why the Wang Chengshu mentioned at the beginning disappeared. After Wang Chengshu participated in the research work of uranium extraction, even Premier Zhou, who helped her return to China, did not tell her. In the process of Wang Chengshu's research on the atomic bomb, Deng Gong found Wang Chengshu when he visited the factory, and after recognizing Wang Chengshu, Deng Gong was surprised and said: It turns out that you are here!
Later, with the successful test explosion of China's first atomic bomb, Wang Chengshu, who had disappeared for more than 30 years, appeared in the people's field of vision again, and Wang Chengshu was also written into primary school textbooks because of this matter. It can be said that Wang Chengshu has contributed an important force to China's physical research, and Wang Chengshu is also the originator of China's nuclear weapons research.
