Genius ambition

His introduction is only 13 words, but it creates the confidence to establish a country.

His name is Yu Min. He was born in 1926 in an ordinary family in Lutai Town, Ninghe County, Hebei Province. Yu Min's parents are ordinary small employees, and their monthly income is not high, so they can only maintain the family's economic operation. Yu Min, who was not born rich, has a very high talent in learning.

When Yu Min was still young, he acted very differently from his peers. The other children only know how to play and play under the protection of their parents, but Yu Min spends all her time reading books.

was just born in such a turbulent era. Even if you live honestly and honestly every day, you will always face sudden dangers.

Yu Min is no exception. Once when he was out, he was almost crushed by the Japanese vehicles. After escaping from death, Yu Min was also very indignant. He deeply realized that if the motherland is not strong, the Chinese people will always live in dire straits.

also started from this time that Yu Min has become more attentive to learning. He wants to change the current situation of the motherland through the knowledge he has learned and make China stronger than no one dares to oppress.

After setting this great ideal, Yu Min was not only helping her family work to reduce the burden every day, but the rest of her time was honestly holding the book and studying hard.

1944, after his unremitting efforts, Yu Min finally got admitted to Peking University with excellent results. But at this time, there was a problem at home.

Yu Min's father is unemployed. The sudden change of

made the family, which had a very meager income, even worse, so the family really couldn't afford to pay extra money to attend Peking University.

Faced with such a dilemma, Yu Min felt very uncomfortable. After all, the ideal he set requires strong knowledge to support it. Therefore, he questioned himself more than once: Is this the end of ?

It was Yu Min who had no choice but to give up, and his classmates and friends brought a turning point. It turned out that after learning about Yu Min's situation, the parents of Yu Min could not bear to let an excellent child like Yu Min miss his life, so they were willing to fund him to study.

, and Yu Min finally stepped into the school gate of Peking University .

During the process of studying at Peking University, Yu Min found that he had a strong interest in theoretical research among many knowledge systems, so he also transferred from the original School of Engineering to the School of Science to study the Department of Physics.

It was this professional change that laid the foreshadowing for Yu Min’s future life.

For the ideal

He never went abroad to study in his life, but it was praised by Japanese physicists.

Yu Min transferred from Peking University School of Technology to the Department of Physics in the School of Science, and became more worried about his studies. Since the family has no money, Yu Min simply stayed at school during the winter and summer vacations, and worked hard to study every minute and accumulate more knowledge.

Usually classmates saw Yu Min indulging in books all day long, afraid that he would become a nerd, because he often asked Yu Min to go out for fun together. Faced with such invitations, Yu Min would always wave his hand and refuse to say: "It will definitely be next time."

. After Yu Min studied the physics department, he found that he also developed a strong interest in mathematics. In order to learn mathematics knowledge more systematically, he has since become a frequent visitor in the mathematics department class.

Once, Yu Min happened to encounter an exam organized by the Department of Mathematics when she was listening. The test questions in this exam are particularly difficult. Many geniuses in the mathematics department have the highest score of only 60 points, and the average score is only 20 points.However, when the teacher changed Yu Min's test paper, he found that the attendant got a good score of 100!

This time, Yu Min is completely famous at Peking University. Almost everyone knows that a student in the mathematics department has scored the full mark. Yu Min also became an enviable genius.

But Yu Min himself never cared about the outside world's evaluation. He never felt that he was a genius, but just continued to work hard for his ideals.

In 1949, Yu Min was admitted to the postgraduate student in Zhang Zongsui with the first place in the Department of Physics.

Yu Min's talent and seriousness in physics also made Zhang Zongsui uncontrollably sigh and said: "Yu Min is the best student I have ever met."

In 1951, Yu Mingang became an assistant teacher at Peking University for less than a year and was secretly taken to a place.

Wait until Yu Min arrived, he realized that the place he was in was the first nuclear science and technology research base in New China. The person standing in front of us is the founder of China's nuclear science career - Peng Huanwu .

Just like that, Yu Min began to study the nucleus theory with Deng Jiaxian , Venus Nan and others. During this period, Yu Min quickly mastered the essence of international nuclear physics with his own efforts and published many papers with great weight.

By 1957, the famous Japanese physicist Nagato Shinichiro came to China specifically to meet Yu Min. Because before this, Nagashi Ichiro deeply admired Mind's theoretical research on atomic nucleus . When he learned that Yu Min had never gone abroad to study, and now all his achievements come from his hard work, he couldn't help but sigh: Yu Min is China's "No. 1 domestic local expert".

When Yu Min wants to achieve success in the field of nuclear theory, a difficult choice is placed in front of him.

National ranking first

He gave up his personal ideals and provided China with the confidence to stand up.

1961, with a loud bang, a large area of ​​ mushroom clouds rose in the sky, which was the Soviet Union that successfully detonated the hydrogen bomb . At the same time, Sino-Soviet relations have broken down and northern China is also facing a huge threat.

In the winter of the same year, Yu Min also received a notice to go to the office of Qian Sanqiang . After that, Yu Min faced a difficult choice: the above wanted Yu Min to participate in the research on hydrogen bombs.

At this time, Yu Min was about to achieve great success in the field of nuclear theory. It is undoubtedly a difficult choice to suddenly turn to hydrogen bomb research. After all, the principle of atomic bomb is nuclear fission , and the principle of hydrogen bomb is nuclear fusion . Although the principles of the two are only one word different, the essence is very different.

Plus there was no information related to hydrogen bombs in China at that time, which meant that everything had to be explored by oneself.

, Yu Min also knew clearly that the order issued above was also a recognition of his strength, and the hydrogen bomb was of great significance to China at this time. So Yu Min quickly gave a reply, and he accepted the above arrangement. After all, personal ideals are insignificant in the face of national affairs.

is like this. Without any reference materials, Yu Min took a piece of white paper and started to calculate and infer. One plan was proposed one by one, and it was overturned again and again. After repeated repeated times, I finally got several possible solutions. The verification of these solutions of

also requires the use of a computer to perform a large number of numerical simulation calculations. At that time, China's only computer that could be used was in Shanghai, so it was given priority to numerical calculations for the atomic bomb.

So on the eve of National Day in 1965, Yu Min took dozens of staff to Shanghai together, used the space to calculate, and finally came up with a "Yu Min plan" that caused a sensation around the world.

On June 17, 1967, with a loud bang, a huge mushroom cloud rose in Lop Nur, Xinjiang, my country. This also means that China's hydrogen bomb was successfully developed and shocked the whole world. China has since gained the confidence to gain a foothold!

But Yu Min also clearly understood that these are not enough, and the country still needs small nuclear weapons with great power. Therefore, the neutron bullet also led the team to develop it with Yu Min's unremitting efforts.

In 1987, in the list of " National Labor Model " released by the state, Yu Min's introduction was only 13 words: "Yu Min is the deputy director of the Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry." It was not until 1999 when the state awarded him the medal of "Two Bombs and One Medal" that his family understood what Yu Min had been studying for so many years.

In September 2019, Yu Min received the " Medal of the Republic ", but he himself passed away in January of the same year and was not able to wear this medal.

is not too sensitive to the contributions made to the motherland and should be deeply remembered by all Chinese people.
