As for nuclear weapons, my first thought is Einstein's famous saying: "I don't know what weapons were used in World War III, but World War IV must be made of stone." We have seen the power of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But even if the harm of nuclear weapons is so great, we still cannot do without them. This is because as a big country, we have the right to speak only if we have nuclear weapons, so that we will not be bullied by some countries.

1964 After China's first atomic bomb exploded successfully, we remembered the names of Qian Xuesen and Qian Sanqiang. Three years later, the hydrogen bomb exploded again at 1967, but we don't know who the chief designer is. It was not until 28 years later that we learned that the father of China's hydrogen bomb was originally named Yu Min by decrypting military secret files.

1964, the name Yu Min is meaningless, because he is just a young man under China's nuclear physicist Qian Sanqiang. Yu Min 1926 was born in an ordinary worker's family in Tianjin. Yu Min 1944 was admitted to Peking University Institute of Technology. Two years later, Yu Min fell in love with theoretical physics, and then he transferred to the School of Science to study theoretical physics. After graduating from college, Yu Min stayed in school to continue his graduate studies, and then stayed in school as a general teaching assistant.

195 1 year, the state established the Institute of Modern Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences. At this time, Qian Sanqiang was occupied by this institute, and he needed a lot of talents in physics to join the institute. At this time, Qian Sanqiang discovered Yu Min, so Yu Min officially joined the Institute in Qian Sanqiang and became a researcher.

1960, the country began the secret research of the hydrogen bomb. The leader of the research group is Qian Sanqiang, and Yu Min is Qian Sanqiang's right-hand man at this time. Because of the confidentiality of hydrogen bomb research, Yu Min had to remain anonymous for 28 years. This is also the reason why people don't know Yu Min after the successful explosion of 1967 hydrogen bomb.

If you only participate in the research and development of hydrogen bombs, Yu Min is just an ordinary scientific researcher, and Americans don't need to pay so much attention. The reason why Americans attach importance to Yu Min is that Yu Min completed the basic configuration design of China's hydrogen bomb while developing the hydrogen bomb, which is called "Yu Min configuration" internationally.

Many people don't know the meaning of "redundant sensitive configuration". I just want to say one thing here. At present, there are only two hydrogen bombs in the world, one is called T-U configuration and the other is called Yu-sensitive configuration. These two hydrogen bombs can be kept for a long time. Except for these two hydrogen bombs, none of the other hydrogen bombs will last long. In terms of miniaturization of hydrogen bombs, Yu Min configuration is obviously better. As we all know, the hydrogen bomb is much more powerful than the atomic bomb. If the hydrogen bomb can complete the miniaturization experiment, then the miniaturization hydrogen bomb can make our nuclear weapons ahead of other countries.

However, as a netizen in Zhihu said, Yu Min is respected not only for his configuration, but also for his complete research on hydrogen bombs without any outside help. Moreover, he is the only nuclear physicist in China who has never studied abroad. Many people affectionately call them "domestic soil experts". Here, whether it is soil disease or not is ambiguous. On the contrary, a local word expresses people's gratitude to Min and recognition of his contribution.
