2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Over the past 70 years, my country's economic strength, social outlook and living standards have undergone drastic changes. This is the result of hundreds of millions of workers not forgetting their original aspirations and striving hard under the leadership of the Party. To pay tribute to them, the "original aspiration story" of party members, cadres and staff in different fronts and positions of central enterprises will be launched in batches from now on.

today released the 14th chapter, telling you the story of Peng Shilu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a nuclear power expert, .

This year's National Day military parade, under the light of Dongfeng-41 and Dongfeng-17, the "flat-headed brother" Julang-2, which debuted for the first time, is a bit low-key, but its status and strength cannot be underestimated. As a strategic nuclear weapon and nuclear counterattack force, the submarine-launched long-range ballistic missile Julang-2, which uses strategic submarines as the launch platform, is known as the Great Power Long Sword and Dinghai Shen Needle.

The "giant wave" of nuclear power for the country is inseparable from the figure of an old man. He is the chief designer of China's first nuclear submarine, , the main designer of China's first nuclear power plant, and the main technical person in charge of the first nuclear power plant.

He is Peng Shilu, the senior academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a nuclear power expert, and the son of the revolutionary martyr Peng Pai.

Disappearing Childhood

For many people, childhood is the best time in life, but for Peng Shilu, it is an exception. Peng Shilu's father Peng Pai was the leader of the early peasant movement in our party. When Peng Shilu was 3 years old, his mother Cai Suping died. A year later, his father Peng Pai was secretly killed in Longhua, Shanghai, and was only 33 years old when he died.

In order to avoid the "cutting the roots" of the Kuomintang government, Peng Shilu began a displaced life, experienced a prison disaster that ordinary people could not imagine, and even became a beggar for a time. It was not until 1940 that Zhou Enlai asked someone to find Peng Shilu and sent him to Yan'an, which ended his wandering life.

△In July 1933, the Kuomintang government published a large number of photos of Peng Shilu being imprisoned in "The Record of the Bandit Suppression of Bandits in Nanshan" and "Guangzhou Daily", with the words "The Son of Peng Pai of the Communist bandit was captured by my Ninth Division" and other words

and the nuclear link

In Yan'an Middle School, Peng Shilu's classmates all like to call him "old class leader". Peng Shilu often said to his classmates: "After cruel struggle, some of our parents have shed blood and sacrificed. Otherwise, if we study hard, how can we be worthy of our parents and the party?"

In 1951, Peng Shilu, who was both good at character and academic performance, was selected to study in the Soviet Union. Just as Peng Shilu was studying hard, something big happened to the United States: in 1952, the first nuclear-powered submarine of mankind was successfully launched on the east coast of the United States.

In 1956, Chen Geng, Vice Minister of the Ministry of National Defense, visited the Soviet Union and secretly summoned Peng Shilu. Chen Geng asked him: "The central government has decided to choose a group of international students to study atomic energy and nuclear power major. Are you willing to change it?" "As long as the motherland needs it, of course I am willing." Since then, Peng Shilu has formed an indissoluble bond with the nuclear industry.

△Peng Shilu served the country in the Soviet Union

In the late 1950s, Peng Shilu returned to China after his studies and was arranged to work in the Institute of Atomic Energy, focusing on nuclear power. In 1959, the Soviet Union refused to provide assistance for the development of nuclear submarines on the grounds that it was complex in technology and China did not meet the conditions. To this end, Mao Zedong proposed that "nuclear submarines must be made in ten thousand years!" Self-reliance and hard work have become a reality that Peng Shilu and his colleagues must face.

At that time, the country was in financial difficulties and had very few talents, but Peng Shilu and his colleagues were very motivated. "In difficult times, we all ate wok and wok to build nuclear submarines. Sometimes we couldn't even eat wok and wok. There was not enough food, so we dig wild vegetables, cabbage root to eat... At that time, there was no computer, so we just pulled the calculation rule and typed the abacus. So much data was calculated day and night." Peng Shilu recalled.

"At a command, I put on my backpack and left." Peng Shilu said goodbye to his wife and children and entered Sichuan alone, and presided over the construction of China's first 1:1 nuclear power plant onshore simulation reactor test base.

In June 1965, the blueprint design for the onshore simulation reactor and assembly submarine of the nuclear power plant was completed. Peng Shilu and his family and his comrades secretly came to a remote mountain valley full of thorns and wild flowers in Sichuan. Here, the living area is dozens of miles away from the work area, without fuel or vegetables, and children have no way to enter school or school, so they can only be locked at home to accompany villain books...

overcomes various difficulties that ordinary people can't imagine. On July 1, 1971, the first nuclear submarine in China successfully generated nuclear power for the first time; on August 1, 1974, on the blue North Sea, the majestic military music echoed, China's first nuclear submarine was named "Long March 1", and was officially incorporated into the battle sequence of the People's Navy. Mao Zedong's wish to "can go to the five oceans to catch turtles" was finally realized!

It took only 6 years to become the fifth country to own nuclear submarines after the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France. Behind the "miracle", the hard work and sweat of scientific researchers led by Peng Shilu is inseparable.

Nuclear Power Pioneer

The ideal of using nuclear energy to serve the society and realizes the peaceful use of nuclear energy is the lifelong wish of nuclear power experts, including Peng Shilu. After the successful development of the nuclear submarine, Peng Shilu moved from military industry to civilian field and invested in the research and creation of nuclear power plants, making outstanding contributions to the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant and the second phase of the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant.

In April 1991, according to General Zhang Aiping's proposal, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation organized forces to write about the birth process of China's missile nuclear submarine. It was not until this time that Peng Shilu's deeds were known to people. Many people at home and abroad praised him as the "father of China's nuclear submarines" and "the founder of China's nuclear power plant", and Peng Shilu firmly opposed this.

"I just cooperated with my colleagues to do what I should do for China's nuclear industry." This is a sentence that Peng Shilu often talks about.
