1June 1967 17, the first hydrogen bomb designed and manufactured by China was successfully tested over the western part of China. It took China only two years and eight months from the success of the first atomic bomb test to the success of the first hydrogen bomb test, and its rapid development caused great repercussions in the world. This test is another leap in the development of China's nuclear weapons after the successful explosion of the first atomic bomb, marking a new stage in the development of China's nuclear weapons.

Preparations for the principle test of hydrogen bombs began in mid-June 1966. There are large and small projects 1 13 in this test, and cables need to be laid1more than 400 kilometers. The experimental base completed all the projects in only five months. Among them, the foundation of the iron tower project was excavated on June 18, and the installation of the iron tower ended on June 10. The net working day is less than 100 day, which is more than 80 days shorter than the first tower erection period.

The significance of the success of hydrogen bomb explosion

The successful explosion of the atomic bomb inspired the great enthusiasm of scientific and technological personnel to develop hydrogen bombs. Soon, Yu Min, Huang Zuqia, He Xiuxiu and other early scientists engaged in the theoretical exploration of hydrogen bombs joined the scientific and technological team to develop atomic bombs, forming a powerful fist for scientific research.

Only two years and eight months later, China's first hydrogen bomb exploded successfully, far faster than the developed countries such as the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain, and ahead of France, becoming the fourth country in the world with hydrogen bombs.

While the hydrogen bomb exploded successfully, the China administration reiterated that "China will not be the first to use nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances." The successful tests of atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb have greatly improved China's international status, safeguarded national security and world peace, and become a symbol of national strength and national prosperity.
