I became the Martial Saint of the Wasteland

"Is this... a small nuclear bomb?"

Thermonuclear weapons.

One of the main culprits of the Great Destruction.

Normally, only 3 to 6 kilograms of weapons-grade plutonium and 8 to 10 kilograms of uranium are needed to create a nuclear explosive device.

Here in the wasteland, as long as the technical conditions are slightly up to standard, similar small nuclear bombs can be produced using only 1 to 2 kilograms of plutonium, 2 to 3.5 kilograms of uranium, or even less materials.

These miniaturized nuclear bombs are basically fission bombs.

Due to the lack of small high-energy lasers for ignition, most wasteland forces do not have the ability to manufacture small fusion nuclear weapons.

Still mainly based on simple and crude fission nuclear weapons.

Just like the current nuclear fusion battery, most settlements use one less piece.

The history of technology determines that many craftsmanship cannot be simply replaced by manual work.

Fortunately, you can often find a lot of fusion batteries in stock in the wasteland.

After the major population reduction, the theoretical amount of disposable resources per capita actually increased.

In addition, the design life of large-scale nuclear fusion batteries is as long as decades.

There are also dark crystals as energy supplements.

At present, there are no signs of energy shortage.

But no matter what, "nuclear" is a word that runs through the entire wasteland world civilization.

Like white blood cells flowing in the blood.

It can both heal and destroy.

Therefore, all wastelanders know what that symbol represents.

Ottok, who looked elegant, was very satisfied with the change in Rosen's expression.

He snapped his fingers briskly, and then carefully entered a series of passwords with his mechanical prosthesis.

"correct answer."

"All three are mini-nuclear bombs."

"You might as well call them 'Oppenheimer's tears.'"

"Produced from the purge plan of Hangcheng Liantong District 7 years ago."

"Containing 50.7 grams of U-235, it can release an explosion equivalent energy equivalent to 1023 tons of TNT."

"The overall power is equivalent to dropping 6 to 8 pre-war ZUN19 heavy aerial bombs at one time."

"You should understand."

"The power of high-energy explosives contained in pre-war aerial bombs is not comparable to that of old antiques like TNT."

Ottok patiently explained it to him while entering the password.

"Bah!"

The sound of riveting axles appeared.

The cover was opened.

Rosen couldn't help but slow down his breathing.

This kind of nuclear bomb, with its shock wave power alone, would have no problem overturning several blocks at once.

The destructive power of nuclear weapons is mainly composed of shock waves, optical radiation, radioactive contamination and penetrating nuclear radiation.

The lethality of penetrating nuclear radiation of small-yield nuclear bombs is relatively outstanding.

The optical radiation of large-yield nuclear bombs cannot be underestimated.

The so-called penetrating nuclear radiation, also known as early nuclear radiation, is a stream of gamma rays and neutrons released within a dozen seconds after a nuclear explosion, which can cause damage to living organisms, electronic components and certain metal appliances. Effect.

"How much?"

"What about the method of detonation?"

"Launched detonation, or remote wireless detonation?"

Rosen admitted that he was moved.

Small nuclear weapons are nothing less than a trump card.

This is also strictly controlled in the neighborhood.

Although everyone knows that those block bosses more or less hold a few big cards in their hands.

However, in the wasteland world, there are technologies such as laser anti-missile systems, energy shields, and high-speed airflow shields.

Nuclear bombs may not be effective.

Unless you can master the pre-war nuclear bomb delivery technology.

There are also technical generation differences and restraints.

But if you put a small nuclear bomb in another world, no one can stop it.

Originally, Rosen just planned to get a batch of high explosives here in Ottok.

Anyway, his [Consciousness Space] is not small. With hundreds of kilograms of explosives, he can still blast the Red Shark Gang into the sky.

But I didn't expect an unexpected surprise.

Seeing Rosen taking the bait, Ottok's eyes narrowed and his smile became even warmer.

"Each Mysterious nuclear bomb is sold for 20,000 Dark Crystals."

"Comes with a set of launchers propelled by high-pressure inert gas."

"It can send a mini-nuclear bomb five kilometers away with an error of no more than 100 meters."

"Before launching, it is recommended that you prepare anti-radiation drugs in the BP device in advance, wear goggles, and try not to expose your skin..."

"It's best to bring a lead sheet to protect yourself from the aftermath."

After hearing the price, Rosen's heart dropped.

Twenty thousand dark crystals can buy 19 sets of Z2 exoskeletons without any additional modules.

However, compared with the destructive power of nuclear bombs, the price is not expensive.

If you are purchasing high-energy explosives equivalent to the explosive equivalent of more than a thousand tons of TNT, I am afraid that the price will be high but not low.

But he won't be able to come up with so much money in the next few days.

Seeing Rosen's frown, Ottok gave a timely hint.

"In another month and a half at most, the wind season in Shenhai City will be over."

"The annual rush to explore ruins is about to begin again."

"There have been a lot of people buying high-power weapons recently."

"These three mini nuclear bombs are out-of-print items in the Golden Sunshine Street."

"Since the seven-year purge operation in the United Unified District ended, no force has leaked anything like this."

Ottok bites hard on the word "good stuff."

The implications of chewing it are self-evident.

Gritting his teeth, Rosen raised his head and thought of a plan.

"My funds are temporarily insufficient."

"It's better than this."

"I want all three mini-nuclear bombs."

"I will pay you a deposit of two thousand dark crystals for each one, and reserve half a month for me."

"I will pay the balance during the period. If it is overdue, you can accept the deposit and sell them again."

Ottok thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The main reason is that he can make a profit without losing anything by doing this.

There are actually not many organizations in the Golden Sunshine District that can afford to buy three mini nuclear bombs at once.

In addition, there is another situation that he did not mention, that is, nuclear bombs are not very effective against alien species and mad zombies.

Radiation can only have the opposite effect on them.

After all, these monsters were originally monsters born from radiation and the FEV virus.

Relying solely on shock waves and light radiation is difficult to achieve sufficient effectiveness in cities with undulating terrain and ruins.

Therefore, it is true that these three nuclear bombs are amazingly powerful, but in fact they are not that popular.

Rosen also has his own plans.

He is bound to get these three nuclear bombs.

Let's hold Otok steady first, and when the balance is paid, it's too late to kill him again if he has enough money and confidence.

He readily paid six thousand dark crystals and the two parties signed an agreement.

Rosen had broken open the source crystal before.

This wave of consumption suddenly reduced his remaining wealth to less than three thousand dark crystals.

Although he cannot afford a nuclear bomb now, Otok is promoting alternatives.

I saw his metal prosthesis picking up one of the enlarged long-handled grenades in the box.

He turned to Rosen with a smile and introduced.

…

The theoretical mass loss of uranium-235 during fission is 0.094%, so 0.057 grams of U235 loses approximately 0.00005358 grams of mass. According to Einstein's mass-energy equation E=MC^2, such a small amount of mass will produce 4822200000 joules of energy.

According to the agreement, one gram of TNT will release 4184 joules of energy when it explodes. Then a uranium atomic bomb the size of a rice grain can theoretically produce an energy equivalent to the explosion of 1.15 tons of TNT.

An explosion of more than 1 ton of TNT can definitely flatten a building.

As for the explosive power of kilotons of TNT, if you search for the Lebanese explosion, the estimated damage equivalent of that explosion is more than kilotons of TNT, which can be roughly used as a reference.

The rest of the settings are slightly different, and are all based on the apocalyptic technology in the fictional background of the book.

No debate or discussion.

After all, it is just a novel, not a thesis. There are some things that the author cannot write. If he does, he will probably win the Nobel Prize.
