(The word count here is not included: According to the request of book friends, I talked about the issue of nuclear bombs in detail. There are changes in the second half of 1411. Brothers who can’t catch it, please read 1411 again... Well, my goal is to let everyone who reads
Anyone who has finished this book will know what nuclear bombs are. If you travel through time, you can at least become a theoretical expert...)
But then I think about it, and there’s nothing wrong with it. I once said in a book when I was in school that if an atom is a skyscraper, the nucleus is a cherry in the building.
In this case, the probability of a neutron hitting the nucleus is horribly low.
However, nothing is absolute, and the probability, no matter how low it is, is not zero. From the center of the explosion to a thousand meters away, there is a whole kilometer of air, and massive air molecules with a suffix of billions block the road layer by layer, constantly reducing the intensity of the neutron flow.
Until the neutron flow is completely blocked.
Can the yield of a neutron bomb be made greater?
sure!
As the yield of a neutron bomb increases, will there be more neutrons?
Of course it is!
Will the power range of the neutron bomb change after the yield of the neutron bomb is increased?
Of course!
So is it possible to make the neutron bomb bigger?
Of course...no!
Very contradictory, but very realistic.
Air limits the damage range of neutron speed. One thousand tons is about one thousand meters, two thousand tons is just over one thousand meters, and ten thousand tons, one hundred thousand tons, and one million tons can't increase much.
Then the question arises. When the yield is only one thousand tons, the explosion power is very small. The killing radius of the neutron flow is more than double the killing radius of the shock wave. But what happens after the yield is increased?
The neutron flow is still bound by the air, and the killing radius has not changed much. However, the nuclear explosion itself has undergone earth-shaking changes. Regardless of the shock wave or optical radiation, the killing radius has increased linearly.
For example, the Tsar Bomb Big Ivan has an equivalent of 58 million tons. The diameter of the exploded fireball is 4600 meters, which is far beyond the killing radius of the neutron beam. Even if the uranium 238 shell of the Big Ivan is removed,
The diameter of the fireball of a nuclear explosion is still far more than one thousand meters. This super nuclear bomb has the same structure as a neutron bomb, but it cannot be used as a neutron bomb at all.
Anyone who is familiar with nuclear weapons knows that the order of research for this thing is to first create an atomic bomb. Once the atomic bomb is available, fusion materials can be added, and then a hydrogen bomb can be created through a suitable configuration. In physics, this kind of nuclear bomb is called a biphasic bomb.
The biphasic bomb can be said to be the prototype of the neutron bomb. It has all the characteristics needed for a neutron bomb. The only problem is that it is too powerful and the killing radius is far more than one kilometer.
If you want the neutron flow to be effective, you must reduce the lethality of other factors. The most direct way is to reduce the power of nuclear bombs. To put it bluntly, it is to miniaturize nuclear bombs.
This is easy to say and the principle is not complicated, but it is extremely difficult to do. There are only a handful of countries in the world that have this capability.
Zhuang Bo has heard some unconfirmed rumors, saying that the nuclear technology of the Woolly Bear was stolen from the United States; that John Bull was taught by the United States step by step, and that the Gallic chicken first stole John Bull's nuclear technology and then stole it from the rabbit.
Switched to miniaturization technology.
No matter what the historical truth is, so far, there are only five countries in the world that have the ability to build neutron bombs, and other nuclear-armed countries have not even touched the edge of miniaturizing nuclear weapons. Neutron bomb? Let’s stop joking.
After figuring out all the reasons, all the questions were answered. Zhuang Bo had a feeling of enlightenment - there was nothing special about the super nuclear bomb equipped by the expedition fleet. If it was used on the earth, the explosion power must be far greater than that of China.
The killing radius of the sub-beam.
There is no air resistance in space, and the killing radius of the neutron flow increases geometrically... A radius of seven hundred kilometers is a bit exaggerated, but it is definitely not outrageous.
A single nuclear bomb can kill all insect drones within 700 kilometers. There is no weapon in human history that is more powerful than the super neutron bomb.
Zhuang Bo was lost in thought when Huo Qiang's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Wu Han, how many modified nuclear bombs are there left?"
"No more, just three." Wu Han said angrily, "If I had known how powerful they were, I wouldn't have launched them together."
If the Jizhou didn't honk, it would be fine. If it did honk, it would fire three bombs. In order to achieve the best killing effect, the distance between the three explosion points was not widened. The killing radii of the three super neutron bombs were highly overlapping, and at least half of them were wasted.
Fortunately, the killing radius far exceeded expectations, so we were able to defeat the 40,000 insect drones in one fell swoop. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what kind of situation the Jizhou fleet would face without its trump card and not enough insects killed.
Huo Qiang frowned and bared his teeth: "One, I only need one. How long will it take to correct it?"
The insect swarm here has been solved, and the international fleet is still fighting against the insect swarm. As long as there is one more super neutron bomb, the insect swarm in the direction of the international fleet can be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the situation of the war can be completely reversed.
Wu Han shook his head: "It's hard to say, I have to ask the technical team."
"Then you should ask me quickly!" Huo Qiang said with a look of hatred that iron cannot become steel.
Wu Han quickly followed the instructions and soon received a reply: "Commander, the technical team said it will take at least half an hour."
"Half an hour?" Huo Qiang looked at the international fleet that was fighting fiercely with the insect swarm, "In another half hour, the day lilies will be cold!"
Wu Han pursed his lips, and when the words he wanted to say came to his lips, he hesitated and swallowed them back.
Huo Qiang stared straight at the International Fleet, his jaw raised, relaxed, raised again, and repeated several times: "Send my order, move closer to the International Fleet, and prepare the remaining neutron bombs.
"
"yes!"
"Also, order the Qingzhou and Yangzhou to block the alien fleet at all costs...Also, ask about the situation on Callisto."
"Yes!" After Wu Han conveyed the order, he immediately contacted the Leishan.
Regardless of the fact that the several battleships left on Callisto are all destroyers, and there is no distinction between them as superiors or inferiors, Huo Qiang and others, when arranging tasks, they all instinctively think of Leishan first.
.
There is no way, since ancient times, the military has been a place where the strong are respected, and no one can ignore the performance of the Leishan.
When the communication was connected, Ye Han quickly saluted: "Chief of Staff, are you looking for me?"
Wu Han said in a friendly tone: "Xiaoye, how is your situation?"
"No enemies found." Ye Han said concisely.
"What about the giant ants?" Wu Han's eyes twitched, thinking, "Who asked you about aliens?"
Ye Han immediately replied: "The giant ants on seven transport ships have already burrowed into the ground, and the others are drilling in."
"How much longer will it take?"
Ye Han hesitated and said: "Chief of Staff, I am really unprofessional on this matter and I dare not say anything nonsense."
"Where's the data? You didn't see it either?"
Ye Han said: "I only have drilling data here, but I don't know the thickness of the rock formation..."
"Forget it, forget it, that's it, report any situation immediately!" Wu Han was very disappointed, cut off the communication and explained the situation again.
Wu Han explained the situation, and Huo Qiang nodded expressionlessly: "Okay, tell Ye Han to withdraw."
"Now?" Wu Han was surprised.
"Yes, now." Huo Qiang said, "Aren't there seven ant colonies that have burrowed down? Let's see if the remaining ones can lead to something."
Wu Han suddenly understood and quickly sent the order to Leishan.
