　　China News Service, Beijing, May 7 (Reporter Kan Feng) In recent years, "stuck neck" has been one of the high-frequency words in the Chinese public opinion field, and the research on key core technologies has become a topic of concern to the whole society.

　　In fact, in the 100-year history of the Chinese Communist Party, it is not uncommon to face the dilemma of "stuck neck". However, the difficulties and obstacles along the way have also created the excellent tradition of the Chinese Communist Party of self-reliance and hard work.

　　Speaking of "stuck neck", 57 years ago, the rock-shattered atomic bomb was an example.

　　On October 16, 1964, with a loud noise, a huge mushroom cloud skyrocketed in the desert of Northwest China. The news of the successful explosion of China's first atomic bomb caused a sensation in the world.

　　Many people don't know that this atomic bomb had a mysterious code name "596" before it exploded. Among the scientists who participated in the development of the atomic bomb at that time, it also had a more vivid name-Zhengqi bomb.

　　The origin of these codes and names should start with the "breaking of the contract" more than 60 years ago.

　　On June 20, 1959, the Soviet Union sent a letter to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, suspending the provision of the atomic bomb teaching model and related drawings and materials that it had promised to provide, and then began to evacuate experts in this field in China.

Someone asserted at that time: "Without external aid, China will not be able to produce an atomic bomb in 20 years."

　　At this moment, in July 1959, Zhou Enlai announced on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China: Do it yourself, touch it from the beginning, and prepare to produce an atomic bomb in eight years.

China is determined to rely on its own strength to develop an atomic bomb, and the first atomic bomb is codenamed "596" when the Soviet Union broke the contract. Chinese scientists also take this inspiration and vowed to create this "fighting spirit" that concerns national dignity as soon as possible. bomb".

　　Sixty years ago, New China was in a difficult period of three years. At the same time, it was also facing nuclear blackmail and nuclear monopoly by Western powers. The difficulty of developing an atomic bomb can be imagined.

　　In the harsh natural environment and arduous living conditions in the northwest desert, the Chinese finally broke the superpower’s nuclear monopoly with a loud bang, and won for themselves.

　　Later, the story of the "strength bomb" became a microcosm of the spirit of "two bombs and one star", and it was also another embodiment of the Chinese Communists of that generation leading the people to self-reliance and hard work.

　　On February 20 this year, at the Party History Study and Education Mobilization Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping specifically mentioned the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese Communists, which included the "two bombs and one star" spirit.

　　For the current China and the Communist Party of China, standing at the historical intersection of the "two centuries", the spiritual genes of the "two bombs and one star" are still invaluable.

　　As Xi Jinping said in his reply to the old scientists involved in the "Dongfanghong No. 1" mission in April last year, "No matter how the conditions change, the self-reliance and hard work must not be lost."

　　This is the growth memory of the Chinese Communist Party since its birth, and it is also its "spiritual code" that has been flourishing and flourishing after a century of hardship.
