Chongqing 8 16 project site

? Chongqing 8 16 project is located in Baitao Town, Fuling District, Chongqing, adjacent to Wujiang River and backed by Wuling Mountain. I drove by here last night. There is a major state secret hidden underground for more than 50 years, which was established in 1967. For the sake of secrecy, the place name "Bai Tao" has disappeared from the map for more than 20 years. At that time, the "8 16" underground nuclear project was a top secret military secret. That year, more than 60,000 soldiers came here, and there was no news of 18, just like disappearing from the world. The family doesn't know where they have been and what they are doing. This is the "8 16" underground nuclear plant.

? As soon as I entered the gate, it was like going back to the sixties and seventies in the movie. There are eye-catching signs hanging on the wall, which say "Shut your mouth, don't tell your parents in class, don't tell your wife and children in class" and "Give your youth to your whole life and your children to your whole life".

? Buy a ticket at the gate, the fare is 55 yuan/person, take a special battery car, one car and one tour guide, limited access.

? When the vehicle enters the 8 16 underground nuclear power plant, the temperature drops obviously. Through the lighting, it is found that the main body of the cave is very high, which is more than ten stories high, no less than the Tenglong Cave seen yesterday. Tenglong Cave is a natural cave, which was formed due to the changes of the earth's crust for thousands of years, but it was actually built artificially. The 8 16 project is more than 20 kilometers long and completely hidden inside the mountain. The total construction area is104,000 square meters, the main cavern is as high as 79.6 meters, the vault span is 3 1.2 meters, there are 18 large caves in the cave, and there are roads, pilot tunnels and shafts 18.

? The tour guide explained in detail the main building of a 10 1 reactor in the cave, which is the largest cave. The nuclear reactor hall runs directly from the third floor to the ninth floor, with a height of 79.6 meters. The central control room located on the 9th floor is the "brain" of nuclear engineering, which can monitor the whole process of nuclear raw material production in real time.

? Through the visit and photo introduction, I learned about this period of history, 1958 Sino-Soviet break, 1964 Beibu Gulf incident broke out, and the world situation was tense. President Mao Zedong pointed out that China's economic lifeline is concentrated in big cities and coastal areas, which is not conducive to preparing for war. He advocated establishing its own strategic rear. In 1960s, the state decided to build a nuclear power plant in the southwest of China. After many investigations and demonstrations, I finally chose Baitao Town, Fuling, Chongqing, which is close to Wujiang River and backed by Wuling Mountain. For the sake of secrecy, the place names of Bai Tao disappeared from the map.

? 1966 was approved by the central government with a total investment of over 740 million RMB. More than 60 thousand people participated in the construction, and they were isolated from the world. They dug underground nuclear power plants day and night in Bai Tao, Fuling, Chongqing, and fought for the country with the belief that "a fool can move mountains and man can conquer nature".

? This project is the first man-made cave in the world and the second nuclear raw material industrial base in China. It can be safe and sound in an earthquake of magnitude 8, and can prevent the air explosion of 1 10,000 equivalent hydrogen bomb and the direct hit attack of 1 10,000 pound bomb. At that time, it was a miracle.

? 1984, the project was stopped due to the adjustment of national strategy. In 2002, the Ministry of National Defense agreed to decrypt Project 8 16. Although the nuclear program here has not played a role, it is enough to warn the United States. Since then, the 8 16 nuclear underground project has become history, and this underground giant nuclear military tunnel has been rediscovered, allowing us to visit and understand this amazing and shocking process.

? In the process of visiting various caves, I saw the slogan "Make up your mind, not afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties and strive for victory" left on the wall. This is the imprint of an era. "8 16" is not only a historical term, but also a national spirit, a period of national memory and a generation of youth.

? Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be satisfactory. In the stormy course of * * * and the country, a large number of builders resolutely went here to make silent contributions for the needs of the motherland, abandoned their small families for national security, and contributed to the rise and take-off of new China. Behind this prosperity, there are selfless sacrifices from generation to generation, which are worthy of admiration and tribute and are worth remembering forever.
