The person involved in the creation of the "Oriental loud noise" has now left quietly. This day was November 17, 2018, a sunny day.

In order to speed up the process, Qian Sanqiang and other leaders of the Second Machinery Department decided to divide the troops into two groups: the original team continued to develop the atomic bomb; and also organized a team to prepare for nuclear tests. Qian Sanqiang proposed that Cheng Kaijia was responsible for the technical issues related to nuclear tests.

This means that the organization has made another adjustment to his work. Cheng Kaijia is very clear that his strengths are theoretical research. Giving up what he is familiar with will make the road ahead more difficult. But in the face of the needs of the motherland, he did not hesitate to move into a new field: nuclear testing technology.

Later, Cheng Kaijia talked about the complexity and difficulties he had when he opened up this new field in an article titled "Nuclear Testing Must Be Strictly Follow Scientific Laws": "This is a large, extensive, multi-disciplinary systematic project. Theory and practice must be organically coordinated... There must be both a global theoretical systematic analysis, and through practice, step by step, crossing the river by feeling the stones, and doing it step by step." After a period of exploration, Cheng Kaijia began to establish the "Nuclear Weapon Testing Research Institute" and assumed the responsibility of the general person in charge of China's nuclear weapons testing technology. From then on, Cheng Kaijia was the deputy director and director of the Nuclear Weapons Test Institute, and also the deputy director of the Nuclear Weapons Research Institute. After the Nuclear Weapons Research Institute was changed to the Institute, he was also the deputy director. It was not until 1977 that Cheng Kaijia was appointed as deputy commander of the nuclear test base and was removed from the deputy director of the Nuclear Weapons Research Institute.

A group of data and historical materials record Cheng Kaijia's pioneering and innovation in the field of nuclear testing technology and his immortal contributions to the development of China's nuclear industry -

In October 11964, China's first atomic bomb was successfully tested, and more than 1,700 (sets) of instruments were all obtained.

In June 11967, China's first hydrogen bomb test was successfully tested. Cheng Kaijia proposed a bomb drop plan to change the flight direction of the aircraft, ensuring the safety of the bomb drop aircraft.

In October 11978, China's first underground nuclear test of vertical shaft was successful. Cheng Kaijia's research and design test plan was successful...

From Lop Nur, known as the "Sea of ​​Death" for the first time in 1963 to returning to Beijing to work, Cheng Kaijia worked and lived in the Gobi Desert for more than 20 years. Over the past 20 years, he has successfully organized and directed more than 30 nuclear tests of various types from the first nuclear explosion to the ground, air, underground and other methods afterwards. Over the past 20 years, he has led scientific and technological personnel to establish and develop my country's nuclear explosion theory, systematically expounded the physical phenomena and their generation and development laws of the atmospheric nuclear explosion and underground nuclear explosion process, and has been continuously verified and improved in previous nuclear tests, becoming an important basis for the overall design, safety demonstration, test diagnosis and effect research of my country's nuclear tests.

"When it comes to the Lop Nur nuclear test site, people will think of the eternal desert and the sea of ​​death. When talking about the years of hard work in those days, many comrades will recall the washboard road, living in tents, drinking bitter water, and fighting wind and sand. But for us scientific and technological personnel, what really tortures and tests are the difficulties in work and technical difficulties." Many years later, Academician Cheng Kaijia wrote in an article: "I think that our tradition of hard work is not only drinking bitter water, fighting wind and sand, and enduring hard work in life and work, but more importantly, the fighting spirit of hard study, tenacious research, and bravely climbing the peak. It is the proposal and realization of new ideas and new ideas, and the enterprising spirit of continuous pioneering and innovation."

Academician Cheng Kaijia wrote in his later years: "Innovation, hard work, dedication."

He never admitted that he was an "official person" in his life. He never had the word "power" in his mind, only "authority": the kind of authority of "the capable are the teacher"

Scientists have made great contributions to the glory of the Republic, and the Party and the country have not forgotten them.

On May 30, 1965, the leaders of the Party and the state met at the Great Hall of the People and invited meritorious officials who contributed to the China atomic bomb explosion. Cheng Kaijia and other technical personnel from the Nuclear Test Institute led by him were received. In 1966, Zhu Guangya, Guo Yonghuai, Wang Ganchang, Chen Nengkuan and Cheng Kaijia were invited to climb the Tiananmen Gate Tower to attend the National Day celebration.

Cheng Kaijia is the representative of the third, fourth and fifth sessions of the National People's Congress, a member of the sixth and seventh sessions of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, an academician and senior academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He won the special prize and first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, the second prize of the National Invention Award, the National Science Conference Award, the He Liang and Heli Science and Technology Progress Award and other awards. In 1999, he was awarded the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" Medal of Merit by the Party Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission. In 2013, he won the National Highest Science and Technology Award awarded by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. In 2017, the Central Military Commission solemnly held a ceremony to award the "August 1 Medal" and honorary titles, and President Xi Jinping awarded him the "August 1 Medal".

This is a noble praise from the Party and the country, and this is the highest honor of a national defense science and technology worker.

"The name written on the honorary list of meritorious service awards is only a few people, and the glory of our nuclear testing industry belongs to all participants. Because every success of ours is created by millions of people, and every achievement of ours is the crystallization of collective wisdom." Academician Cheng Kaijia is aware of his own, listing the work done by his comrades.

The past events, achievements, and the names of the key players are so clear in his memory -

Lu Min, who volunteered to return to China to participate in the war from the Dubna Joint Nuclear Research Institute; Xin Xianjie, the director of the office who undertakes the development of automatic control instruments for nuclear explosions; Qian Shaojun, Yang Yusheng, Chen Da and other academicians who came out of the release and analysis team; Sun Ruifan, who was transferred from the nuclear test base in his sixth year and returned to the test site to perform tasks...

Also, during underground nuclear tests, the question of whether there is any condensation in the nuclear explosion in granite was the answer given by Xing Tiliang, the autoclave of the six teams at that time; Ding Haoran, in the new nuclear test field area, was the answer given by Xing Tiliang, the autoclave of the sixth team at that time; Ding Haoran, in the new nuclear test field area, was the answer given by the Xing Tiliang, the autoclave of the sixth team at that time; The site selection has made great contributions; Qiao Dengjiang has done a lot of work for each effect brigade, which has achieved a good harvest in effect work; Dong Shoushen has contributed to the drilling technology of the shaft, and the experiment quickly entered the vertical shaft method stage; Cheng Geng played an important role in the calculation and analysis of the self-sealing of the underground flat hole...

Of course, there are also the Yangpingli Meteorological Station, which has been fighting for a long time in the depths of the desert, guard soldiers who have patrol 8,000 miles on foot on the nuclear test field, the engineering soldiers, automobile soldiers, chemical defense soldiers, and communication soldiers who have worked selflessly in Lop Nur - without the hard work and selfless dedication of each of them, and without the strong coordination and support of the people of the whole country, there would be no achievements and glory of our career today.

Thunder has gone far away, but people who yearn for peace will always remember that era. Whenever I think of my life in the nuclear test site, Cheng Kaijia is always full of nostalgia. Because there is the hard work he devoted throughout his life, the glory of his career, his passionate years, and his lingering nostalgia...

Walking forward to the home of Kaijia, you will never associate the owner here with the disciple of modern physics master Born, Heisenberg's debate opponent, the deputy commander of China's nuclear test base, and the founder of China's "two bombs and one satellite".

is furnished here, which is incredibly simple and rustic. After leaving the Gobi Desert, Cheng Kaijia has always maintained the lifestyle of that era and lived a simple and frugal life with books.

Cheng Kaijia never admitted that he was an "official person" in his life: "My mind is full of scientific research and experimental tasks from beginning to end, and it is difficult for me to understand other aspects. Someone said to me, 'You have been an official', and I said, 'I never thought I was an official, I always thought I was just a researcher'."

Cheng Kaijia had many positions in his life, but he never had the word "power" in his mind, only the kind of authority of "authority": "the capable are the teacher."

Cheng Kaijia misses the most in his life, General Zhang Yunyu. He called him "my old comrade-in-arms, my true good friend", "is the nuclear commander in each of us, and the greatest nuclear commander in my heart."

As the commander of the nuclear test base, Zhang Yunyu is fully responsible for nuclear weapons testing; as the technical director of the nuclear weapons testing base and the base research institute, Cheng Kaijia is fully responsible for the technical work of nuclear test. They worked together in the Gobi Desert for more than a dozen years and jointly completed my country's first atomic bomb and various nuclear test tasks.

The lightest ones are the sky above the sky, and the heavy ones are the yellow earth.

Chinese spirit conceives Pangu, and creates worldly affairs.

technology breakthroughs and encounters difficulties, forget to eat and sleep and make hard work.

The Gobi Desert has become a great achievement, and everyone respects me and calls me a master.

Academician Cheng Kaijia wrote an inscription in his later years: "Innovation, hard work, and dedication."
