179 Interplanetary Application of Cold War Thinking

"Of course I know." In terms of nuclear warhead propulsion, Shen Changwen has actually considered many options.

The first to consider, of course, is also the easiest way.

That is to adapt measures to local conditions.

Since there is such a good source of power as flying swords here, theoretically, they can find dozens or hundreds of flying swords, bundle them into a ball, and then control these flying swords to start at the same time, which is equivalent to free electric power.

If conditions permit, this should be the best solution they can find. Compared with ordinary missiles, Feijian has several important advantages.

First, energy security.

The energy storage inside the flying sword is pure electricity, stored in the superconducting coil, even if it is destroyed, the energy will be released in the form of electricity - this will not pose any threat to the nuclear bomb itself, if the destroyed nuclear bomb Recycling can theoretically be reused.

Second, the ability to resist damage is strong.

When they launch missiles, the most likely threat they encounter is the laser launcher of Sanmai Daoist.

They have seen the power of this weapon before, and it can easily destroy a target in a short period of time.

Using the flying sword as the propulsion material, if it encounters a laser weapon, it will not produce the same as the propellant, one point is ignited, and the entire propulsion part is completely burned, resulting in the failure of the launch.Because the flying swords are completely isolated from each other.

The search and rescue team has calculated that after the missile finally reaches its cruising speed of Mach three or four (normal nuclear missiles on Earth tend to be two or three times faster than this), laser weapons will be much less effective at destroying it -- it will not reach What they saw before, the effects in the video.

But it's still a huge threat.

The entire flight path search and rescue team has already calculated, and based on the calculation from the launch from the space station, the total attack distance is only 1200 kilometers. For this missile that can hit 2400 kilometers, this range is of course more than enough.The immediate problem is not whether the nuclear bomb can be reached or not, but whether the other party will intercept it.

This is not the earth. On the earth, in the face of such high-speed moving objects, especially intercontinental missiles, such missiles with high ballistics, even the most advanced missile interception system, it is difficult to accurately intercept them.

But here, they have seen the power of the flying people using that kind of laser. According to Yanxiu's memory, when these flying people "siege" the aircraft carrying fusion fuel, the speed of the aircraft can be said to be several times higher than that of the missile—— But these flying people still have a way to intercept.

Among other things, it is just the laser launcher in the hands of Daoist Samadhi, as long as the other party is alert-maybe he does not understand the principle of nuclear bombs, but once the nuclear bomb is launched, facing such a huge, high-speed, directly heading towards The behemoth he left from his lair immediately used lasers for defense by instinct, which was almost an inevitable choice.

At the current speed that nuclear warheads can reach, the 1200 kilometers will take at least an hour and a half to fly, and it may take two hours if it is more.

This time is enough time for Sanmai Zhenren to dismember the nuclear warhead a dozen times with lasers.

This is still an ideal consideration.

But the reality is that in a short period of time, it is difficult for them to find enough flying swords to power the missile, so they have to buy propellant from the earth to temporarily modify the missile.

In this way, the speed of the missile may be slightly increased. After all, the energy density of chemical fuel is much higher than that of wireless power transmission, and the maximum speed can be increased to Mach 15 or more, which is three times the estimated time. In this way, the entire flight time It will be reduced to less than half an hour.

However, the price of doing so is that the entire nuclear bomb system will become extremely fragile.

Not to mention the lasers of Samadhi, even the flying swords of other flying men, as long as they can poke a few holes in the rocket, the fuel leaks and cause abnormal propulsion—the nuclear bomb is completely finished.

Unstable propellant will eventually cause the detonator to explode. If faced with that situation, the best decision they can make is to let this nuclear bomb perform an air explosion in a pointless place. Otherwise, the detonator is very The aftermath of a normal explosion can turn into a dirty bomb in this world.

If this happens, then they will fail to save the world, and they will cause a huge trouble.

"If this is the case, I still need to know more about the enemy's military intelligence." Yevgeny began to realize that his mission here this time was not so easy to complete.Shen Changwen's request is not just as simple as modifying the nuclear bomb. What he hopes to achieve is a whole set of security measures around the missile.

This is like on earth, making nuclear bombs is only the first part of nuclear strategy, and the most critical part after that is still thinking about how to pass this weapon over the enemy's defenses and ensure that it can be thrown to the designated destination.

Strategic nuclear submarines are lurking, strategic bombers are cruising, missile bases are always on standby, and the national radar screening system is always paying attention to every suspicious target...

Yevgeny spent almost his entire youth in the atmosphere of the Cold War. As a nuclear bomb expert, this kind of thinking can be said to have almost penetrated into Yevgeny's bones.

Now, although the environment is very different from the Cold War, the essence is still the same.

As a weapons expert, what Yevgeny needs to consider is to make his weapons work.

Since entering this world, all the information that Wu Xiaoqing and the others have found is now in front of Yevgeny, including the data of the flying sword, the data of the battery, the role of the gun, and The latest, in the war, the opponent's innovative use of flying swords.

If it was on Earth, Yevgeny would not have the slightest interest in seeing these things. At his age, the degree of acceptance of completely unfamiliar new things is getting smaller and smaller.

Not to mention the flying man who can charge himself without eating or drinking. In the United States, he even rejects the use of smartphones, and there is always a traditional wired phone at home that needs to be pressed to make calls.

But here, in this completely gravity-free environment, Yevgeny felt that every cell in his body seemed to return to his youth.

Although he didn't have a drop of wine sticky after coming here, but after reading the information, he felt dizzy all the time, with a feeling like a dream, a deep dream.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced the Cold War to understand the thoughts of their generation.

Yevgeny's era was the climax of idealism all over the world. From the country to the individual, it can be said that extreme romantic ideas are everywhere.

The two largest countries in the world are scrambling to launch spacecraft into the sky, from orbit, to the moon, to Mars...

In that era, the biggest dream of every man was to become Gagarin, and the biggest dream of every woman was to marry Gagarin. People live now, but what they imagine is decades or even a few worlds later. Future plans for the future.

A gravity-free space station built by aliens, for Yevgeny, it is like stepping into a luxurious playground piled up with all the dreams of his youth, and here he delve into every detail of the world, For Yevgeny, there is more happiness than letting a child ride a wooden horse while licking ice cream in a playground.

In this "playground", Yevgeny stayed in front of the materials for 13 hours.

Because he doesn't understand Chinese, Yevgeny basically didn't talk to the other Chinese people during the process.

Shen Changwen went back, only Wu Xiaoqing stayed, and occasionally exchanged some opinions through the microphone.

More often, Yevgeny just stared at the information in a daze, and then calculated on paper.Although it is very inconvenient to write and draw on paper here, after 13 hours, he still used two full notebooks.

Yevgeny also knew that while he was doing calculations here, those flying people were preparing for a war. More than 3000 of the army of more than 2000 people are already in place. One of their key personnel among the indigenous people is now facing danger all the time.

In theory, now is the best time to carry out a nuclear attack, but the reality is that even now that he has completed the design plan, returned to Earth, ordered fuel, refueled, and replenished, the whole process will take at least another week .

The flying people's world is much larger than the earth, but their war rhythm is faster than the modern war.

A week is just too long.

Will that tiny island be able to hold on for another week?Even search and rescue teams don't have that confidence.

"I probably have an idea, but it's not very mature yet." Yevgeny closed his notebook and said to Wu Xiaoqing, "Where's Professor Shen?"

"He's still sleeping, and it's already late at night on earth time." Wu Xiaoqing reminded.He also stayed up late to accompany Yevgeny, "It's okay, let's talk about it first."

"I have read the minutes of your company's previous consulting meetings, and one of the ideas inspired me a lot. This is also the source of your ***. Information warfare, I can probably understand it this way."

Yevgeny picked up a plastic bottle of water, swallowed it like drinking vodka, and continued: "You have produced batches of drugs and handed them over to the natives for use. , and that’s what led to the encirclement and suppression.”

"The reason why the opponent is so afraid of this kind of attack is because it can invalidate the original weapons of the flying people-this is like a modern army meeting an army after World War II, although they all look similar, planes, tanks, and cannons ,infantry……"

"However, as long as the modern army has the information initiative, it can make the radar of the World War II army blind, the army cannot assemble, the plane is bombed on the runway, and the tank becomes scrap iron."

"I can understand the idea that you give these guns to the aborigines, but it seems that these aborigines are obviously trying to use electronic interference weapons as some kind of primitive mine weapons, which has caused They are completely passive now."

After a short pause to let the audience digest briefly, Yevgeny continued: "New weapons must be matched with new strategies and tactics."

"The biggest problem for these aborigines is actually the deep-rooted, so-called 'human and sword in one' thinking."

"They regard guns as their magic tools and weapons, just like medieval knights, who always hold the sword firmly in their hands for a reason."

"They need to change their way of thinking. When Napoleon invaded Moscow, he thought that Moscow was Russia, Russia was Moscow, and the two were always connected."

"Now, the situation is actually the same—even if those natives know that one person can control three swords, we might as well try to let a group of people control a large number of guns to achieve some special coverage tactically."

"In this world, a bomb can actually be regarded as a grenade - as long as it is within the range, the enemy will lose its combat effectiveness.

"Grenades are used as landmines, and of course the effect will not be very good. We now need a group of professional grenadiers."
