Chapter 436 (1/2)

According to the length of 11 meters, bullet diameter (diameter) 1. At 55 meters, the volume of the missile is about 20. 7 cubic meters, for 30 cubic meters of storage space, it is not a big problem to move this thing to reality.

”Have the combat parts been put in yet?” The combat component of Jiang Chen refers to, of course, a nuclear component.

”500000 equivalent hydrogen warheads. The shell is being welded. It's almost ready. ” Jiang Lin raised his thumb and pointed to the busy robot arm.

What is the concept of a 500000 ton nuclear bomb? It can be described by four reference data.

[exposed personnel: 4. Personnel in tank: 1. 9

personnel in bomb shelter: 0. 7

personnel in permanent fortification: 0. 46]

these four data respectively correspond to the lethal radius (km) of personnel behind different concealed objects caused by a 500000 ton nuclear bomb, which does not count as radioactive contamination damage. Of course, this is assessed by the current standard of protection.

In the end of the world, power armor, tanks and other armored units usually have built-in lead metal fiber barriers, so their resistance to radiation damage is much higher. It is precisely for this reason that the strategic role of nuclear bombs in World War II is mainly to paralyze the enemy's infrastructure through dirty bombs and to restrict light infantry from entering the battlefield.

If only two or three of these 500000 ton nuclear missiles, which are almost impossible to intercept, are deployed at the bottom of the sea, they are almost enough to form a nuclear deterrent. Once the new nation is declared to be a nuclear power and has a global strike capability, even if the United States wants to make a new country idea, it will have to weigh the total market value of New York and Washington.

Deterrence is enough.

If possible. Jiang Chen hoped that he would never use it.

Once the nuclear button is pressed, it can't stop. Even with the technology of the 22nd century, this simple and crude weapon cannot be stopped.

”How many warheads can the remaining nuclear material make?” Jiang Chen then asked.

”Taking into account the uranium in the base and the nuclear materials seized from the sixth block some time ago, we can probably make two more.” Jiang Lin estimated it. A conservative data is given.

Tritium and tritium lithium compounds are the main materials for making dirty bomb thermonuclear weapons, while uranium 235 is only an initiation device. There is only one way to get tritium from waste soil, which is to extract one or two grams of tritium from the nuclear material that has not been used up.

Of course, it would be easier to make a non dirty thermonuclear weapon, using helium-3 extracted from civilian nuclear fusion batteries. However, the thermonuclear reaction of helium-3 with deuterium will only produce non radioactive protons, so the use of helium-3 as the raw material of nuclear warhead will not produce radiation. In this way, the deterrence will be much smaller.

This technology has not been developed in this world, and even if it has the technical conditions, it is difficult to realize.

Because the total helium-3 reserves on earth are estimated to be only 500 kg, the nearest helium-3 vein is on the moon..

Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, ”very good. Your next task is to recreate two peace messengers.”

”Are you going to use this to clean up the alien species? With all due respect, the killing power of nuclear weapons against different species is not ideal. Those things were actually crawling out of the pit. And the nuke pit produced by the explosion is likely to be used as a nest by xenospecies such as dead claws. ” Jiang Lin hesitated and warned.

”It's not used to deal with alien species, of course. If you blow up a different species, I'll just get a cannon and fire a nuclear bomb? It's going to take a lot of effort to get some ballistic missiles. As for the specific use, you don't care. Just help me transport the missile to the backyard of my villa later

With that, Jiang Chen turned and walked away.

As marshal. He doesn't have to explain his behavior to anyone. Therefore, Jiang Lin sighed helplessly, and then ordered people to prepare to transfer dolphin-10.

。。

Back in the backyard of the villa, Jiang Chen began to dismantle the eight containers that Wang Zhaowu had returned from camp 27. This pile of equipment with a total weight of about 400 tons includes two engineering robots, a deep-sea submersible with a maximum capacity of 4 people, and the engineering module and mining module that can be mounted on the deep-sea submersible.
