On October 16, 1964, my country successfully exploded its first atomic bomb, code-named Miss Qiu. Someone asked: Why is it called such a name? Does it represent a big figure with the surname Qiu? actually not.
tracing the roots, searching for history, is still the board of Premier Zhou. At that time, due to the need for confidentiality work, a set of secret words was required. The prime minister called everyone to brainstorm and solicit opinions.
Everyone thought about it. Someone suggested that the code name of the first atomic bomb be Miss Qiu. The "Qiu" here is not a surname and does not represent any person. It is just a homonym for the Chinese "ball", just because the shape of the atomic bomb is ball shaped. After
, the container containing the atomic bomb was called the dressing table; the atomic bomb for the official explosion test was called Lao Qiu; the atomic bomb assembly was called dressing; the atomic bomb was inserted into the detonator was called a braid; the meteorological condition was called blood pressure; the atomic bomb detonation time was called zero hour .
When I heard it, it seemed like "Ms. Qiu is sitting in front of the dressing table, dressing, braiding, measuring blood pressure, and then starting at zero", soaring into the sky.
It is said that the names of the three atomic bombs in the United States are also very vivid. They are called "Thin Man, Fat Man and Little Boy"; the code name of the first atomic bomb in the former Soviet Union is even more confusing, called pumpkin.
With the changes of the times, many young people don’t know what "Miss Qiu and Lao Qiu" are, but the reputation of "Miss Qiu and Lao Qiu" has been incorporated into that glorious history, and it will definitely be passed on from generation to generation. Obliterated.
