Xu Yun: I Was Only Tossing Out an Idea-Who Knew He Had a Cheat?

"What if, besides the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb, the neutron bomb were also expected to explode?"

Inside the conference room.

When they heard Li Jue say this,

everyone froze, including the old expert who had spoken up earlier.

The spacious conference room fell silent for a moment.

But less than two seconds later, a wave of uproar erupted:

"What?! A neutron bomb?!"

The old expert who had spoken first couldn't help standing up. He braced both hands on the table and leaned forward:

"Director, what did you say? The neutron bomb is supposed to be detonated this year too?"

The old expert was Wang Haoran. In his early years, he had gone to the Soviet Union with Wang Ganchang for training, and he was currently in charge of developing the hydrogen bomb.

Li Jue nodded slightly:

"That's right."

As he spoke, he glanced casually at Xu Yun beside him.

Yes.

The true purpose of this so-called "Base 221 Completion Plan" was to "complete" the nuclear test schedule by adding a neutron bomb.

On September 19 this year, the Rabbits weren't just going to test Genshin and the hydrogen bomb—they were going to add a neutron bomb and detonate all three together!

Otherwise,

why would the organization have transferred comrades working on nuclear propulsion to the base?

"..."

At Li Jue's confirmation, Wang Haoran's lips twitched a few times. He looked as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.

To be fair,

neutron bombs used a deuterium-tritium gas mixture, and one of the relevant concepts was the neutron multiplication effect.

Compared to an ordinary hydrogen bomb, a neutron bomb lacked a uranium-238 shell, because uranium-238 slowed neutrons and reduced their energy.

Moreover, uranium-238 underwent fission when struck by fast neutrons, increasing the shock wave, light radiation, and radioactive contamination
