Deng Jiaxian is the main organizer and leader of China's nuclear weapons research and development, and is known as the "father of the two bombs". In the research of atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, Deng Jiaxian led the basic theoretical research of detonation physics, fluid mechanics, equation of state and neutron transport, completed the theoretical scheme of atomic bomb, and participated in guiding the detonation simulation test of nuclear test.
After the success of the atomic bomb test, Deng Jiaxian organized forces to explore the design principles and selected technical approaches of the hydrogen bomb. He led and personally participated in the development and experiment of China's first hydrogen bomb in 1967.
Personality assessment
Deng Jiaxian is an outstanding representative of intellectuals in China. For the prosperity of the motherland and the development of China's national defense scientific research, he was willing to be an unknown hero and struggled in obscurity for decades. He often appears in the most dangerous positions at critical moments, regardless of personal safety, which fully embodies his lofty and selfless dedication.
He has made outstanding contributions to the development of China's nuclear weapons, but little is known. People didn't know his deeds until after his death. He is a scientist with the most simple peasant temperament. Deng Jiaxian's keen vision made China's nuclear weapons development continue to advance rapidly for ten years, and finally reached the laboratory simulation level before the comprehensive ban on nuclear tests.
