Chapter 228 Another Door

Lao Zhu climbed up from the bottom step by step. After years of experience in personnel affairs, he actually has a deep feeling for Zhu Yuan's "complex world" argument.

After sighing, he turned to the nuclear energy-related information in front of him.

After reading for a while, Lao Zhu felt that...another door had opened.

And, unbelievable.

He couldn't help but look up at the young man opposite, then lowered his head to read again, and looked up again after a while, with a little expression of "I don't read much, so don't lie to me", sighed and said: "This... really..." Heavenly Book 'Ah."

As he spoke, he turned back to a certain formula again.

E=mc^2.

This is the once famous Einstein mass-energy equation.

Zhu Yuan has made detailed annotations for each of the symbols.

For example, the speed of light represented by 'c' can travel 1 miles in 60 second, and this 1 second is only tens of thousands of moments in 12 hours a day.For such a large magnitude, it needs to be squared again before it can be combined with the weight of the substance.

Old Zhu only felt that this kind of 'energy' was probably the size of a grain of rice, wouldn't it be...

Thinking stops here.

Because...'just' how... Lao Zhu couldn't imagine it anymore, so he could only look to the opposite side.

Zhu Yuan understood Lao Zhu's feelings, and took the initiative to explain: "Ancestor, if human beings hadn't realized the use of nuclear energy hundreds of years later, at first glance, I would only think it was made up. However, the most powerful current One piece of evidence is just outside. Today is a sunny day, and you can see the sun when you look up. The sun is a big fireball undergoing nuclear reactions all the time. It has nourished all things for billions of years. As I said before, most of the energy sources on the earth actually come from the sun. For example, coal, which was buried in the ground by the forests that used solar energy to grow hundreds of millions of years ago, has undergone vicissitudes of life. be formed."

Old Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and reluctantly nodded slightly.

indeed.

The sun was hanging outside, he couldn't help but not believe it.

Then there was hesitation again.

You know, when he got the globe back then, Lao Zhu was reluctant to show it to his sons.It wasn't because of his father's secrets, but because he was afraid of affecting the minds of the princes, and it was only after Zhu Yuan persuaded him that he figured it out.

At present, the knowledge related to nuclear energy, according to the 23rd grandson of his own baby, will inevitably have more impact on the "world outlook, outlook on life, and values". Therefore, Lao Zhu wonders whether he should let Zhu Yuan teach today. to the children.

Maybe, wait a little longer?

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu went through the documents in front of him again, and something was wrong again, and asked the boy opposite, "Yuaner, these... I feel... maybe they are not good things?"

"The feeling of my ancestors is right," Zhu Yuan did not deny: "In fact, I have not written a lot of knowledge related to nuclear energy. The use of these weapons is made into weapons, called 'nuclear weapons'."

Lao Zhu had a faint feeling just now, and it was confirmed, and he subconsciously asked: "What are nuclear weapons?"

"Ancestors should have noticed the mass-energy equation, which is the key to nuclear energy," Zhu Yuan said. The power of tens of thousands of explosives exploded. For example, Japan next door to us, World War II... I mentioned this to my ancestors. At that time, because Japan refused to surrender, it was dropped by the United States on the other side of the ocean. That was just the time when nuclear weapons were developed, and the technology was immature, but it was only a nuclear bomb with a yield of 1 tons, which directly destroyed a large city with a population of several 1.5, and killed more than 10 people."

At this point, Zhu Yuan briefly explained what "equivalent" is, and then continued: "Ancestors, nuclear weapons with an equivalent of 1.5 tons are just a very small type of nuclear weapons in the early stages of research and development. The nuclear weapons that exploded on the earth later, the largest The equivalent is as high as 5000 million tons, which was developed by the "Soviet Union" that I also talked about with my ancestors. The original plan was to have a larger equivalent, 1.7 million tons, because the power was too powerful to find a suitable test site, so we had to Shrunk down to 5000 million tons. The nuclear weapon exploded in the open Arctic region, and even distorted the orbit of our earth around the sun. , Many people began to worry that once a nuclear war breaks out in which various countries throw nuclear weapons at each other, our planet will be destroyed, and human beings will go extinct because of this.”

Lao Zhu felt that he was listening to the "Book of Heaven" again, and it was still a very, very scary chapter.

After thinking about it for a while, Lao Zhu quickly said: "Since that's the case, don't tell Biao'er and the others, I will burn these later. Yuan'er, you should also bury these learnings in your heart forever, not in this world. most."

Zhu Yuan shook his head: "My ancestor, I thought about it at first, but I'm afraid it won't work."

Lao Zhu was puzzled: "Why?"

"Because the sun hangs there," Zhu Yuan gestured to the outdoors: "My ancestors, there are always people in this world who look up at the sky and think, what are the sun, the moon, and the stars? In ancient times, people couldn't imagine I understand, I can only myth them. However, when society develops gradually and science continues to progress, the truths will always be researched. As I said, after hundreds of years, it is actually common sense that children know. "

Old Zhu was silent for a moment.

Zhu Yuan continued: "What I just said is just on the one hand, the ancestors. On the other hand, I have to talk about 'economics'. The continuous development of human society is fundamentally the continuous improvement of productivity. How to improve it is another fundamental , is the use of energy. Just looking at the mass-energy equation formula, the ancestors should understand that nuclear energy is the key to promoting another qualitative change in productivity compared with our burning wood, charcoal, and even oil in the future. Traditional energy sources, no matter coal or oil, are actually limited. Once they are dug out, they will be gone, because it will take hundreds of millions of years to regenerate. Nuclear energy, for us humans, is almost unlimited and inexhaustible. Inexhaustible."

Lao Zhu's expression was considered.

Zhu Yuan also continued: "Finally, there is another problem. Ancestor, next, we will enter the industrial age. Perhaps banning nuclear energy will allow us to stay in the primary industrial age. The problem is that other countries on this planet will not stay , if they go ahead of us and have the use of nuclear energy ahead of time, it will be a disaster for us. This point, let’s talk about the structure of the world before Yuan’er’s arrival. Several big countries, including China’s In China, they all have nuclear weapons and deter each other, so a balance has been formed. In the era when China did not have nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union and the United States at that time, when they had a conflict with us, both considered using hundreds of nuclear weapons. Destroy our country. It was not until we soon developed nuclear weapons that we avoided the fate of the country being destroyed. Ancestors, just now imagine that you and Zhang and Chen were fighting for the world, if they both had the nuclear weapons I mentioned , and we don’t, can they not use it?”

Old Zhu nodded slightly.

Zhu Yuan said: "So, my ancestors, my idea is that not only can we not ban it, but in the future... well, we probably won't see it in this generation or two. In short, we must vigorously develop this knowledge and develop nuclear energy application technology in advance. come out, and it is firmly in the hands of our own people, with absolute technological advantages. The reason why many countries were able to form a balanced situation with nuclear weapons was because the technology spread too fast, and everyone made it one after another within a few years. One country has an absolute lead. This time, if we plan many years in advance, we can do this. At that time, other countries...not my race, whoever dares to touch these, will destroy them in advance."

Lao Zhu finally nodded, but shook his head again: "This matter needs to be carefully considered. Well, you can tell Biao'er and the others briefly later, don't get too involved."

"Yuan'er understands."

Lao Zhu waved his hand: "You go, I'm here...I'll think about it carefully."

Zhu Yuan agreed, but he didn't get up immediately, but asked another matter that the government and the public have been paying attention to recently: "My ancestor, how is the war in Central Shu?"

"I'm afraid that there will be another snowstorm in the Qinling Mountains that will affect the supply. I will ask Yuchun to store more grain and grass in Bazhou before going to Shu. The launch time is scheduled for the beginning of next month." Lao Zhu did not hide these military affairs in front of his precious 23rd grandson. After a simple explanation, he smiled again: "It's thanks to you. This year, I have transported some grain and grass to the north. I have ordered that 50 shi of grain be transferred from Bianliang to Chang'an. All the original grain in Chang'an will be sent to Qinling. No worries."

As the saying goes, "the army is not moving, the food and grass go first", Lao Zhu's arrangement is indeed a safe strategy, even taking into account the possible lack of food in Shaanxi in winter after the army moves.

As for my credit...

Enough is enough.

This is not worth mentioning.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan thought of one thing: "Will it be inconvenient to travel from Bianliang to Shaanxi in winter?"

Old Zhu obviously understood what Zhu Yuan was asking, nodded and shook his head again: "Wen Hui's letter mentioned it too, but some sections of the river are frozen, but it's okay, the ready-made roads, it's better to walk on the ice than the land. It’s even faster.” Accidentally mentioning a certain adopted son, Lao Zhu couldn’t help being curious: “Wen Hui...how was it?”

Zhu Yuan knew that the "Wenhui" that Old Zhu was talking about was He Wenhui, who was only 27 years old this year and was already the second-ranked Zuo Cheng of Henan Province and the Commander of the Henan Metropolitan Commander and Commander of the Division. Responsible for guarding Bianliang, and looking at the word "wen" in his name, which is the same as Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong, one can imagine Lao Zhu's closeness and trust.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu would turn here suddenly, Zhu Yuan paused, and said: "Yuan'er doesn't remember much, once... it seems that he died early due to illness."

Old Zhu: "..."

This is a nonsense question for no reason.

Inexplicably disliked the baby bump of a certain 'unpredictable prophet', waved his hand to chase him away: "Go, and...the medical thing, you should worry more about it."

Zhu Yuan agreed, got up and said goodbye.
