Chapter 450: How Mushrooms Are Cultivated (Part II)


s: 6000 words chapter, please vote by the end of the month Of course, no matter how bad or primitive the atomic bomb is, it is still a kind of mass murder weapon, and it is not impossible to use it.

At least with this thing in hand, my confidence in speaking is completely different.

Wen Desi is not the kind of person who is too ambitious.

Although he is not very interested in this kind of primitive nuclear weapons, he also knows that he has to eat one bite at a time.

Now he needs to solve the problems of having and not having them first, and then solving the problems of good and bad. .

But Wen Desi did not want to make this primitive nuclear weapon too big.

On the one hand, it would waste precious nuclear materials, and on the other hand, it would be difficult to control the scope.

So he planned to miniaturize the atomic bomb from the beginning, and the little mushroom would just play with the small-yield tactical mushroom.

As for the large-yield strategic mushroom, naturally there would be a special large mushroom fusion bomb, or what is commonly known as a hydrogen bomb.

Mr.

Wen is very confident that within the next five years, the size and weight of tactical atomic bombs will be greatly reduced to the extreme.

The W54 atomic bomb used on the 388 "David Crowe" recoilless rifle.

This W54 atomic bomb is quite small.

It is used on a recoilless rifle.

The warhead weighs only 23 kilograms, the total weight of the shell is 35 kilograms, and the yield option is only 10,250 tons tnt.

When used in other situations, such as nuclear mines, as long as the explosive block is added to increase the total weight to 68 kilograms, the yield change can be amplified to 101,000 tons.

This weapon of the original space-time United States was developed in 1956, that is, 12 years after the first nuclear explosion, the atomic bomb was shrunk to the extreme.

A total of 2,100 of this ultra-small atomic bomb in the United States were built at a cost of US$540 million in 1960 currency, which means that the unit price is only about US$25.26 million, which is about half the price of fighter jets in the same period.

Wen Desi plans to mass-produce this small atomic bomb as soon as possible and put it into use by the troops.

Although this kind of tactical-grade atomic bomb has a small yield and power, the side effects it causes are also small and within the range that Mr.

Wen can tolerate.

He is not that kind of extreme environmentalist, as long as it is not too excessive.

For this tactical-level nuclear weapon, the General Staff has mainly identified two uses after many deductions.

The first is to develop "earth-penetrating bombs."

After World War I, all European countries were frightened by the heavy casualty figures, and became even more enthusiastic about fortifications such as bunkers, trenches, and fortresses.

The great powers were all overhauling fortresses, especially those in strategic locations.

Everyone was working hard to repair them.

Turtle Shell not only added a lot of new buildings, but also reinforced and modernized the previous fortifications.

Moreover, after experiencing the training of the First World War, the tactical thinking of the armies of various countries has become more advanced, and the turtle shells they have built are much stronger than before the First World War.

The former fortress still had many earth and stone buildings, only some of which were made of reinforced concrete.

But those fortresses now are all made of reinforced concrete, and they are all high-grade cement.

This reinforced concrete is only the minimum.

In some important positions, the great powers have even added armored steel plates at any cost.

Such turtle shells are quite difficult to chew.

For example, in World War II in the original time and space, the German army's "Operation Barbarossa" started smoothly and made great progress, but it suffered a bloody blow at the Sevastopol Fortress.

In order to gnaw off this turtle shell, the German army mobilized 9 divisions and 6 Romanian brigades, equipped with more than 1,300 artillery pieces over 100 mm and more than 300 aircraft for coordinated operations.

Moreover, the German army also used three super cannons, the 420 mm caliber fixed mortar "Gangma", the 610 mm caliber self-propelled mortar "Karl", and the 800 mm caliber train cannon "Gustav".

With such superior firepower, it took the Dro coalition more than 250 days to capture the Sevastopol Fortress.

In this battle, about 24,000 German soldiers died, and the Romanian army lost more than 1,800 people.

Judging from the current development trend, the General Staff estimates that there will only be more turtle shells of the size of Sevastopol Fortress than in the original time and space.

The nearest one is the Singapore Fortress.

In order to prepare for China's expansion, the Opium Cow has been building turtle shells in Singapore over the years.

The whole of Singapore has almost turned into a big fortress.

The Opium Cows are good at utilizing waste.

They removed the armored steel plates and artillery pieces from the scrapped pre-dreadnoughts, and then installed them on the fortress here.

Moreover, the additions and improvements to the Singapore fortress are not yet complete.

If war breaks out by then, the Chinese army will definitely encounter this turtle shell.

If they attack the fortress like Santoku did when they attacked Sevastopol, the losses will be too great, and more importantly, it will be delayed.

Many times, delays benefit fighters.

Wen Desi is not a fool, he would not do such stupid things.

However, this kind of turtle shell is really difficult to deal with with conventional weapons.

Heavy artillery of the 150mm level is almost useless, and heavy artillery with a caliber of less than 300mm cannot be chewed.

It can be concluded that super-powered guns like "Karl" and "Gustav" Just a giant cannon.

However, not only are these big guys expensive to build, but they have a single purpose.

The most important thing is that they are very difficult to move, their rate of fire is super slow, and they are extremely inconvenient to use.

If you build too little, the effect will be insignificant, and if you build too much, it won't be cost-effective.

Wen Desi didn't want to spend such a waste of money.

So Wen Desi set his sights on nuclear weapons.

He planned to turn this tactical-grade nuclear weapon into an "earth-penetrating bomb" specially designed to hit turtle shells.

This small atomic bomb only weighed 23 kilograms and was as big as a small watermelon.

It can be completely loaded into an earth-penetrating bomb, whether it is carried by an aircraft, launched from a heavy artillery, or made into a missile.

No matter how powerful the fortress is, can it withstand thousands of tons of explosives exploding inside?

Moreover, Wen Desi not only found suitable "tail" armor-piercing bombs and ground-penetrating bombs for these "earth-penetrating bombs".

Cannon barrel.

The barrels of these large-caliber guns are made of high-quality steel, and the wall thickness is sufficient.

They are perfect for being used as projectiles for ground-penetrating projectiles.

They also recycle waste and save money.

In recent years, the Chinese Navy has replaced a large number of main gun barrels.

Except for some of them that have been refurbished, the others are piled in scrap warehouses and can be used now.

The United States in the original time and space was just playing around.

They took out the thick pipes left over from World War II and modified them, and they became the body of the earth-penetrating bomb.

The second use of this small mushroom is torpedoes, yes, nuclear torpedoes.

Although this small-yield nuclear torpedo with only tens to hundreds of tons of power may not sound like much, you must know that even the largest ordinary torpedo has a charge of no more than one ton.

It is absolutely guaranteed to sink large targets such as battleships and aircraft carriers with one shot, and the side effects of underwater explosions are much smaller.

The actual weight of the warhead is less than 50 kilograms, which can also free up space and weight to equip a better guidance system and extend the torpedo range.

Finally and most importantly, the probability of a torpedo being captured is the lowest among all weapons.

Even if it does not explode, it will sink to the bottom of the sea.

It is extremely difficult to find and salvage such a small thing in the deep sea.

Although this little mushroom is not favored by Mr.

Wen, his vision is too high.

For people in this world, this is also an incredible thing.

Therefore, in order to prevent this weapon from falling into enemy hands, great care must be taken in its deployment and use.

If coupled with the nuclear attack submarine currently undergoing initial planning and design, China will be able to master future maritime hegemony in one fell swoop.

Of course, these are all things for later, let’s talk about it after watching the nuclear explosion experiment first.

Wen Desi looked around and found that everyone's faces showed expressions of anticipation and excitement.

Everyone's face was flushed with excitement, even Zhang Lizheng and Xin Jie, who were usually the calmest, were no exception.

To be honest, Wen Desi is also in a very excited mood now.

Although things like atomic bombs are nothing in the 23rd century.

At that time, there were all kinds of things that could blow up a planet with one blow, but no matter how powerful they were, they were nothing.

It belongs to him.

Although the mushroom on the screen is a little smaller now, it really belongs to the power he has.

"President Wen, the test explosion work is all ready, please give instructions from the commander."

Major General Yu Jiancheng, the person in charge of the base, asked for instructions from President Wen.

"Okay, let's get started."

Wen Desi nodded.

"Yes."

Yu Jiancheng saluted, turned around and gave orders to the staff: "Each team is in place, and the test explosion process will now begin."

Most of these staff members were in white coats and the rest were in military uniforms.

They immediately started busy.

The indicator light on the instrument kept flashing, the pointer on the instrument panel was swinging, and the numbers were constantly beating.

"The equivalent inspection team is ready" "The electromagnetic detection team is ready" "The observation team is ready" "The reconnaissance plane is already in place" "The seismic wave detection team is ready" The staff's reports sounded one after another.

When the last group's report was completed, the symbols representing each group on the display screen in front of Yu Jiancheng all turned green.

At this time, Yu Jiancheng said quickly: "Mr.

Wen, all groups are ready.

Please press the start button."

There was a metal box on the table in front of Wen Desi.

He smiled and opened the lid of the box, revealing the red button inside.

"This is the nuclear button," Wen Desi said with a smile, and then pressed it hard.

At this time, an electronically synthesized female voice sounded from the loudspeaker in the room: "Now the ten-second countdown before the explosion is 10, 9, 7, 6."

This sound also sounded on all the loudspeakers inside and outside the base at the same time.

The staff and guards in the base all turned their attention to the nuclear explosion test site.

Of course, they all put on goggles or sunglasses as instructed in advance. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" When the last second countdown ended, the sky suddenly lit up, and a dazzling, intense white light burst out and swept across the entire test site.

Although everyone was well prepared, even with the protection of goggles, their eyes felt a bit dazzling.

It was too bright.

This flash of light appeared from the ground, brighter than a thousand suns.

It feels like what is described in Genesis.

God said: Let there be light, so there was light in the world.

Then a huge fireball appeared at the end of the horizon and shot up into the sky in an instant.

It emits a dazzling light, and its color is constantly changing, from blue-white to orange, and continues to spread outward and become larger and larger.

The word "light" usually symbolizes beautiful things, but this light is different.

It represents death and destruction.

This light of destruction comes from hell.

All objects that are illuminated by this light of destruction at close range , will reach an unimaginable temperature in a short period of time, rapidly melt, carbonize, burn, and finally turn into a pile of unrecognizable ashes.

In this intense white light that shines across the sky and earth, everything in the nuclear explosion test site, whether it is houses, buildings, vehicles, equipment or animals, will be destroyed in the dazzling light as long as it is swept by this terrible light of destruction.

For ashes.

Animals within 500 meters of the explosion center were burned to coke before they could react; wooden buildings were instantly carbonized and burned into a sea of ​​flames.

Masonry buildings were slightly better, but they also softened and deformed quickly; all steel products, including those parked nearby, were Several of the armored fighting vehicles melted quickly like candles.

In just a few tens of seconds, the objects near the center of the explosion were changed beyond recognition.

At the same time, a violent electromagnetic pulse storm erupted rapidly with the iron tower as the center.

Not only did the radio equipment in the entire test site become scrapped in an instant, it even severely interfered with the radio communications at the base 60 kilometers away.

Fortunately, The research institute has long considered that the electronic equipment here at the base uses new equipment to prevent electromagnetic interference, and various lines are also equipped with shielding protection layers to avoid irreparable damage.

If it were an ordinary electronic device, it would definitely be doomed.

The strong light of destruction has not yet dissipated from people's sight, and powerful shock waves have followed closely.

The powerful energy generated by the fission of atomic nuclei formed a shock wave, carrying countless amounts of radiation dust, and swept up a more deadly storm on the ground.

The momentum of this storm was so terrifying that its central wind speed far exceeded the speed of sound.

The destructive power of this supersonic storm exceeds the largest hurricane that can be produced on the earth.

The test site covering an area of ​​more than five square kilometers suddenly ushered in the end.

Various buildings were blown down like paper toys, or were twisted and crushed by powerful forces.

The tanks and cars on the ground were all blown away.

The animals and their cages were even swept high into the sky by huge air currents.

When the storm rages on the ground, another part of the energy is reflected by the ground, carrying countless dust and rushing into the sky, forming a bright and huge mushroom cloud.

This huge mushroom, rolling fire and thick smoke quickly rose from the ground, and continued to spread and climb higher, and finally stood like a tower of Babel between heaven and earth.

A few kilometers away in the air, a surveillance aircraft converted from a large bomber bumped and undulated in the strong airflow, as helpless as a fallen leaf blown by strong winds.

The pilot tried his best to control the plane.

He wiped the sweat from his face and said with lingering fear: "Oh my god, luckily we are the latest large plane.

If it were a small plane, it would definitely be doomed."

"That's terrible.

Is this our secret weapon?"

"The air currents 8,000 meters away are so strong, it's even worse up close."

The crew members were also sweating, and they were all talking about it.

"Oh oh oh."

When they saw the big mushroom rising, the emotions of the onlookers in the base reached the highest point, and they couldn't help but cheer excitedly.

The underground headquarters also became a sea of ​​laughter.

The staff cheered and hugged their nearest colleagues in excitement.

"Mr.

Wen, we succeeded," Zhang Lizheng said excitedly.

"Well, yes, it was successful."

Wen Desi also stood up excitedly.

Why was he dissatisfied with the performance of the first generation of mushrooms, but it is different with and without this kind of thing, because It’s very important, so say it three times.

"Hurry up and calculate the explosion yield."

Although Yu Jiancheng, the commander-in-chief of the test, was also very excited, he still did not forget his responsibilities.

After a while, the equivalent calculation was completed.

"Reporting to the head, the yield of this nuclear explosion test is 31,022 tons," the expert in charge of the calculation reported to Wen De Sihui.

"Okay, this experiment was very successful."

Wen Desi looked at the data summary in his hand and happily told Zhang Lizheng: "Old Zhang, all relevant personnel must be rewarded heavily."

"Yes, I will arrange this" Wen Desi walked to the podium and said to the staff: "Comrades, history will remember this moment.

In the year 2765 of the Republic of China, which is 1924 AD, at 10 o'clock on January 18, China's first nuclear explosion test, It was also the Earth’s first nuclear explosion experiment that was a complete success.”

"Oh oh oh" everyone stood up and cheered, and there was a storm of applause in the command post.

After Wen Desi and other high-level officials left the base, several more nuclear explosion experiments were conducted here within a year, and all four atomic bombs were used up.

A large amount of first-hand information was collected.

The atomic bomb was finally invented, but this was only the beginning.

The small mushrooms are out, and there are also big mushrooms.

Next, experts and staff from the Ministry of Nuclear Industry once again devoted themselves to new mushroom cultivation work.

Wen Desi then went to Xi'an Aircraft Company.

He came here to inspect the progress of the tanker.

There are three companies in China that specialize in large and medium-sized aircraft such as bombers and transport aircraft, namely Xi'an Aircraft Company Xi'an Aircraft Company, Jinling Aircraft Company Jinfei, and Shanghai Aircraft Company Shanghai Aircraft Company.

Among the three companies, XAC is the oldest and the strongest.

Their representative works include: H-2 "Egret" heavy bomber, H-3 "Warshipbird" torpedo bomber, H-6 "Demoiselle Crane" torpedo bomber, Y-2 "Gray Goose" transport aircraft, Y-3 "Flamingo" transport aircraft, etc. model.

Beginning in 1921, the Chinese Air Force began to experiment with aerial refueling technology.

This time, the tanker project was also handed over to three companies including XAC, allowing them to bid against each other.

Probably because they lost to their rivals in the last competition between large and medium-sized bombers, Xifei used all their strength this time, and they made the fastest progress.

At the end of last year, their tanker had successfully tested and conducted aerial refueling experiments.

Among the accessories of Chinese fighter planes, disposable auxiliary fuel tanks can be said to be standard equipment.

This thing has been available from the beginning.

But this alone is not enough.

Methods that can extend the flight range and the aircraft's stay in the air are also needed.

So in 1921, the Chinese Air Force modified two blimps and two bombers to become refueling platforms, and also modified several aircraft of various types to begin aerial refueling experiments.

As we all know, there are two methods of aerial refueling in later generations, the flying type and the floating anchor type, or more specifically, the hard tube type and the hose type.

In later generations, it was the method used by the U.S.

Air Force and Navy respectively.

The specific method of operation is that the man with the hard-tube type actively inserts the target aircraft, while the female with the hose type passively inserts the target aircraft.

The test results were clear.

In terms of safety and stability, the hose type inserted into the target aircraft is better.

Because the target aircraft being refueled is usually smaller and more flexible, it is safer for it to actively refuel.

At the same time, a refueling platform can release multiple hoses to refuel multiple aircraft at the same time, usually three.

Although this requires high pilot skills, this has never been a problem in the Chinese Air Force.

There is no shortage of fuel in China now, and pilots can fly as they please, with a minimum of 500 hours of flying time per year guaranteed.

Coupled with the thousands of aviation clubs in various places, many pilots even have hundreds of hours of flying experience before entering aviation schools for formal training.

But another problem arises here, and that is the hose-type refueling method, which requires the aircraft to place the fuel pipe in front of the cockpit so that the pilot can see it so that he can refuel correctly.

However, this is fine on large bombers, twin-engine tactical fighters, and other guys whose engines are hung on both sides of the wings.

At present, the nose of ordinary single-seat fighter jets is the propeller, and it is impossible to install a forward-facing fuel pipe.

For the hard-pipe type, the refueling platform directly inserts the oil pipe slowly into the oil receiving hole on the back of the aircraft.

This requires staffing the tanker with good technology.

The disadvantage of the hard-tube type is that it can only refuel one fighter at a time, and it is more dangerous when connecting at the same time.

The instability of the air flow may cause damage to both parties.

In this regard, it is not as good as the elastic hose type.

Its advantage is that the oil pipe has a large flow rate, about 6,000 liters per minute, which is four times that of the hose type.

Both methods have their own pros and cons, neither good nor bad.

Originally, Ben Desi was actually more inclined to the hose type.

In his opinion, safety is more important.

Besides, the fuel tank capacity of current aircraft is generally less than 2,000 liters.

It only takes ten or twenty seconds to fill up the tank.

The advantage of the high flow rate of the hard-tube type is reduced.

In addition, the partner refueling tanks for aircraft carrier-based aircraft can only be hose-type.

It would be more convenient to just use one unified method.

But this encounters the propeller interference problem mentioned earlier.

If it is not a jet aircraft, it must be changed to a push-back propeller to solve this problem.

This is obviously unscientific.

However, jet aircraft have not yet been perfected and will not be mass-produced for at least five years.

The next generation of aircraft will definitely be propeller aircraft.

Of course, this must also be the last generation propeller fighter of the Chinese Air Force.

So in the end, Wen Desi decided to follow the practice of the United States in the original time and space, and use both systems at the same time on the tanker.

Nowadays, the special tankers manufactured by XAC and other units are all tankers equipped with two refueling systems.

They have both xx and oo, which can be inserted or inserted.

This is "helping her mother", don't laugh.

This "Futaniang" is currently flying in the air.

It first released three refueling pipes from both sides of the wings and the tail.

Three experimental jet fighters equipped with refueling devices quickly approached and successfully refueled.

"These three planes are all different," Wen Desi said while watching the 4 in the air.

"Yes, Mr.

Wen, this is an experimental jet aircraft from Chengdu Aircraft, E-Aircraft and Guangzhou Aircraft," said the XAC leader next to him.

Subsequently, the tanker refueled three H-5 "Heron" medium bombers.

The "Heron" is a twin-engine aircraft with propellers on the wings, so there is no problem of propeller interference.

Finally, an experiment with hard-pipe refueling was carried out, and three propeller-type aircraft were inserted into the tanker.

The aerial demonstration ended successfully.

Originally Wen always wanted to go to Baotou to see the rare earth industry there, but an important piece of information made him cancel the trip and return to Hanking
