Luo Chao thought for a while and said: "The expeditionary force is too far away from us. No matter how much we know, we can't understand the situation as well as Duan Zhiyang. I think the best way is to send our suggestions to the expeditionary force and let the expeditionary force base it on the actual situation.
Develop a counterattack plan.”
At best, such an answer is fair; at worst, it is hollow.
Wu Han immediately looked at Zhang Zhiyong: "What about you? What do you think?"
Zhang Zhiyong originally wanted to just say a few words to deal with it like Luo Chao, but he was keenly aware of the dissatisfaction in Wu Han's tone, and the words he was about to say immediately stopped on his lips.
"No?" Wu Han said calmly.
Zhang Zhiyong was worried: "Commander, it is bragging to say there is a way, but I have a very immature idea, which is very difficult to implement, but if successful, the Jupiter problem can be completely solved."
Wu Han raised his eyebrows: "What can we do?"
Luo Chao also looked at Zhang Zhiyong with surprise, his eyes full of suspicion.
Zhang Zhiyong hesitated in the eyes of the two people: "Commander, you are really immature..."
Wu Han was angry: "I will judge for myself whether it is mature or not!"
"Yes!" Zhang Zhiyong quickly corrected his attitude, but as soon as he spoke, he became extremely unconfident, "My idea is this, didn't I blow up Europa and hit Ganymede with fragments? If I use enough
Bombing Callisto with multiple nuclear bombs can theoretically detach Jupiter from its current orbit... As long as we carefully plan and implement it rigorously, we can theoretically make the deorbited Callisto hit Ganymede, then hit Europa, and finally make it
All these satellites will fall into Jupiter, completely eliminating these cancers!"
"Impossible, this is too crazy!" Luo Chao said without hesitation, "Have you ever thought about how much nuclear bombs would be used to propel such a large satellite? Unless it was the planetary engine on Europa, it would not be possible at all.
Possibly pushing Callisto!"
Although Beichenzhou has built a super engine, that thing is nothing compared to the planetary engine. Want to copy the planetary engine? Just dream!
Another way is to remove the planetary engine on Europa, but this is even more unreliable. Even if it is removed, it will be useless. If you have the time and energy to send that thing into space, you might as well build a few more super engines.
Fight aliens.
As for amplifying the super engine... haha, let's forget it. The super engine can be used on battleships, but it is useless to use it on Callisto. There is no way to push Callisto without it.
There are so many super engines, why not build more super battleships?
Not to mention a thousand ships, as long as there are a hundred ships, Wu Han would dare to personally lead the fleet to wipe out Saturn!
Zhang Zhiyong defended: "So I say this idea is very immature. The only feasible method is to bombard Callisto with massive nuclear bombs continuously until Callisto deorbits!"
Luo Chao still shook his head: "It's also unreliable. Have you calculated how many nuclear bombs are needed to push Callisto?"
"I have calculated it." Zhang Zhiyong's answer was unexpected. "More than one million super nuclear bombs are needed... I just did the math casually."
"One million?" Wu Han sighed, "I can't even come out with ten thousand!"
What Wu Han said was not nonsense.
Nowadays, Beiyuezhou is the largest nuclear bomb production base in the entire solar system. With all the production capacity added together, the annual output is only 100,000 or 80,000.
But this is only a theoretical output, and the actual output is far from reaching this standard. The biggest limitation is the lack of materials.
Is there a shortage of nuclear raw materials? In theory, there is indeed no shortage. Beiyuezhou is located on the moon and can extract massive amounts of deuterium, deuterium and helium-3 from the lunar soil every year. Beiyuezhou alone has a reserve of no less than several thousand tons.
Doesn’t it seem like a lot? But that’s not how it works out. The key to making nuclear weapons is not hydrogen isotopes, let alone the helium 3 found all over the moon, but uranium 235!
There are uranium ores on the earth, on the moon, and on Mercury, but no matter where the uranium ores are, uranium-238 accounts for the majority, and the content of uranium-235 is extremely small. Mining and purification itself is a very troublesome process. Although various countries
Despite our best efforts, the production of uranium-235 has never been able to increase.
Without uranium 235, there is no way to produce plutonium 239 in a reactor. Currently, there are only two types of nuclear raw materials that can be used to make atomic bombs, and atomic bombs are the nuclear triggers of hydrogen bombs. Without atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs cannot detonate!
For today's technological establishment, the atomic bomb can be the foundation of all nuclear weapons. Without the atomic bomb, there would be no hydrogen bomb.
However, the half-life of tritium is only twelve years, which directly results in the shelf life of hydrogen bombs being too short and unable to be stored for a long time. This alone determines that humans cannot stockpile too many hydrogen bombs.
Nuclear weapons made of deuterium and helium 3 do not have this shortcoming, but the conditions for detonation are harsh. They must use a trigger made of hydrogen bombs to detonate. The result is that they go in circles and finally return to the original point without solving the production of uranium and plutonium.
problem, we won't get more nuclear weapons.
This does not include the consumption of battleship reactors and nuclear engines, which also consume massive amounts of nuclear materials every year.
There is only so much uranium-235 currently mined, and only that much plutonium is obtained every year. Maintaining the current production to support the current intensity of the war is not a problem, nor is it a problem to squeeze out a little more and store it, but the reserve is more than one million...
...Haha, I'm afraid I haven't even saved 100,000 nuclear bombs yet, and some of the nuclear bombs have been unable to detonate due to the natural decay of tritium. Saving one million? Is it a dream?
Wu Han's words made Zhang Zhiyong feel aggrieved: "Commander, I said this idea is very immature. There are really so many nuclear bombs. It would not be a problem to just blow up those satellites. There is no need to go to such trouble."
Wu Han encouraged: "The idea is immature, but it has reference significance. If the time is right in the future, it may be realized one day... Okay, don't cry in despair. You still have an idea. I can't think of it until now."
Woolen cloth!"
Luo Chao glanced at Wu Han in surprise: "Commander, what do you mean..."
Wu Han sighed: "There is no need to talk about this matter in the future."
"Where's the expeditionary force?"
"As you said, send the suggestions and let the expeditionary force make their own decision." Wu Han said.
Luo Chao was very surprised and said cautiously: "Should we expand it further and ask for more opinions?"
Wu Han shook his head: "That's all for recruiting anymore. Okay, that's it for today!" At this point, he waved his hand tiredly, signaling the two of them to leave.
Luo Chao and Zhang Zhiyong stood up, but before they could leave, a combat staff officer hurried over: "Commander, the latest news about the expedition fleet is that the Ningwuguan has sunk and the personnel situation is unknown. Huo Qubing said that they will do it as soon as possible.
Deal with the enemy and rush over as soon as possible."
"I understand." Wu Han nodded, "Didn't we just roll off two super gunboats? Please notify us that these two warships will be assigned to the expeditionary force and let them set off as soon as possible!"
