Xiang Nan had long received the gift of nuclear physics knowledge from Qian Sanyi, and had a detailed understanding of atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, neutron bombs, and nuclear power.
Therefore, after joining the R&D team, he immediately made an impact. At that time, the Chinese people basically did not understand how to develop an atomic bomb, and they could only rely on the materials, equipment, and scientific researchers provided by the Soviet Union.
However, Soviet equipment, materials, and personnel were not given for free, so domestic atomic bomb research could be said to be struggling. However, Xiang Nan's joining completely shattered the Soviet Union's knowledge monopoly and greatly accelerated the research and development of the atomic bomb.
In March 1955, China's first atomic bomb was successfully detonated in Lop Nur, Xinjiang. The equivalent of 50,000 tons of TNT was several times more powerful than the little boy and fat man dropped by the United States on Japan.
The strong shock wave generated by the explosion circled the earth several times and was even observed by observatories in the United States.
When the news came, the world was shocked.
No one thought that less than six years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China, which was impoverished and had nothing to offer, could master the world's top weapons technology so quickly. It is really amazing.
You know, France, one of the five permanent members, has not developed it yet.
Even the Soviet Union did not react. They also think that China is asking them to cooperate and to provide equipment, materials, and personnel.
But I didn't expect that people had already built the atomic bomb without hesitation. Moreover, it is so powerful that it can destroy the heaven and the earth. It is really extremely powerful.
China subsequently issued a statement declaring that it would not be the first to use nuclear weapons and called on the four nuclear-armed countries to hold talks and sign a nuclear non-proliferation agreement. However, as expected, he was rejected.
However, the successful explosion of the atomic bomb still made China stand out and return to the list of the most influential powers in the world. From then on, other countries no longer dared to implement nuclear deterrence against China at every turn.
And Baodao, who had been clamoring for counterattack, suddenly stopped. After all, in the face of atomic bombs, no matter how big the cannon is, no matter how many people there are, it is meaningless. Once the atomic bomb goes off, all the fun is over.
Therefore, the counterattack was changed to defense, and in the following years, people continued to secretly leave Baodao. More than two million people left Baodao, which has a population of less than 20 million.
…
In April 1956, more than a year later, China's first hydrogen bomb was also successfully tested in Lop Nur, with a yield of three million tons of tnt.
The news came, once again surprising the world.
Because the Soviet Union's hydrogen bomb just exploded in November last year, China detonated its own hydrogen bomb so quickly, which shows that its nuclear bomb technology did not come from the Soviet Union.
This is a very incredible thing.
Before China successfully tested its first atomic bomb, many countries and people thought that China had received assistance from the Soviet Union, so it was able to do so quickly.
But now it seems that China did not rely on Soviet technology at all, but relied on its own capabilities to successfully develop nuclear bombs. This is even more surprising.
It stands to reason that China, which lacks talents, resources, equipment, and foundation, cannot develop its science and technology so rapidly.
Unless there is really a genius who plays a role. Subsequently, people began to recommend people who were qualified to help China develop nuclear weapons. And Xiang Nan's name jumped out first.
On the one hand, he has the highest profile. He is the pioneer and founder of quantum mechanics, string theory, and the Big Bang theory. If you don’t know him, don’t say you have studied physics.
On the one hand, he also has quite in-depth research in the field of nuclear physics, and his accumulation in this area is no worse than that of Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.

In addition, after he returned to China, news soon disappeared. Until now, he has not appeared in public again for several years. Therefore, there is reason to believe that he is going to develop nuclear weapons.
After reaching this conclusion, many people lamented that talents are rare.
In particular, French President Charles de Gaulle was even more envious.
France has also been developing nuclear weapons in recent years, but not to mention the hydrogen bomb, it has not even developed an atomic bomb.
In comparison, China, whose economic strength, technological strength, and hardware facilities are far inferior to France, now has atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. How could this not make him angry?
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have let him go back to China." He complained. You must know that Xiang Nan was still a professor at Brown University and went to the United States after leaving France.
…
In 1958, under the leadership of Xiang Nan, China built its first nuclear power plant with a power generation of 200,000 kW, which could save nearly 5 million tons of coal every year.
The completion of the nuclear power plant once again made history, making China the third country in the world to have a nuclear power plant. The completion of the nuclear power plant also shows that China's nuclear technology is mature enough for civilian use.
This can't help but surprise the Soviet Union and the United States. You know, the nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union was only built a few years ago, and it was still experimental in nature.
The first officially commercial nuclear power plant was built in the United States, but it was only completed in 57 years, and its power was only 90,000 kW.
In comparison, the mainland is only one year behind the United States, but its power is more than twice that of the United States. It can be seen that the mainland's nuclear power technology is more mature and advanced than that of the United States, which can't help but puzzle them.
…
In the same year, China test-fired its first domestically produced missile, which successfully hit a target 500 kilometers away. China has also become one of the few countries in the world that can make its own missiles.
The advent of this weapon shocked the world.
Because of its five-hundred-kilometer range, it can already hit many places. Especially the nearby treasure island is within the missile range.
Therefore, after the successful missile test, the Baodao people who were originally frightened by the explosion of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs became even more frightened and fled one after another.
Previously, after the mainland developed atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, the United States still tried to smooth things over. There is nothing to fear in saying that China has ammunition but no guns. But now China has obviously made guns.
Even if it does not threaten the United States, it is enough to deter Baodao, so they are naturally panicked.
What frightens them even more is that in the same year, China also successfully test-flyed its first domestically produced fighter jet, naming it the J-6 and code-named Falcon.
This fighter jet is designed by Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan inherited Kim Zhenghuan's knowledge of fighter jets and had quite in-depth research on fighter jets.
He knows all the designs, layouts, and functions, so when he comes up with the design plan, it is natural that it will be eye-catching.
The J-6 designed by him can reach an average speed of twice the speed of sound. In terms of speed alone, it can already be included in the second-generation fighter jets.
However, the J-6 aircraft lacks missiles and more advanced avionics systems and radar systems, so compared to the Soviet MiG-21 and the American F11, it is still a bit behind.
However, its birth was enough to break the technological monopoly of the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries, making China one of the few countries in the world that can develop its own second-generation fighter jets.
The advent of the Falcon has also effectively ensured the security of our country's airspace. From then on, it was not so convenient for American and Taiwanese planes to come to the mainland to harass us.
