On the surface, the military only launched six missiles in total, but in fact, it dropped forty-two neutron bombs in one go!
Any kind of nuclear weapon is piled up with money, and neutron bombs are a high-cost type of nuclear weapons. Although Ye Han does not know the detailed cost of nuclear warheads, the cost of using more than forty neutron warheads at one time is the lowest.
It will exceed 10 to 20 billion. If all supporting facilities are included, even doubling it may not be possible!
(PS: It’s impossible for me to know the exact cost of a neutron bomb, but I can safely say it, because people who know will never dare to stand up and correct it!)
If the only nuclear weapon that could be used locally was the neutron bomb, it would have been impossible for the military to use such an incredibly costly weapon to bombard locusts. This was no longer a cannon to fight mosquitoes, but a cannon to fight dust. The effort and reward were completely out of proportion.
However, the high cost also brings high efficiency. The instantaneous killing radius of each neutron bomb is close to one kilometer. Twenty-one neutron bombs caused a large number of casualties to the giant locusts. Nine out of ten locust swarms were eliminated, and the remaining giant locusts were no longer a concern.
But the vast majority of the officers and soldiers participating in the war did not know this. After all, there were not many people like Ye Han who had a certain understanding of nuclear bombs. Most people did not know what kind of nuclear bomb exploded outside the car, and they did not dare to show up randomly.
Ye Han was also hiding in the car, his mind full of confused thoughts. He didn't know how long it had passed before he suddenly heard a gunshot from outside.
The sound of gunfire woke Ye Han up, and he immediately shouted: "Turn on the computer!"
"Turn it on?" The veteran's voice was out of tune, "Then what if another nuclear warhead falls?"
"It's okay." Ye Han said, "Didn't you hear the sound of the cannon? It must be okay."
The veteran looked at Ye Han doubtfully, and Ye Han asked: "Do you know why the phone was shut down?"
"Of course!" the veteran said, "I understand how to prevent nuclear pulses from burning electronic equipment."
Ye Han asked again: "Radio stations are also electronic devices. What should be the first thing after the nuclear explosion is over?"
The veteran smacked his lips: "What if another nuclear warhead falls?"
"You're going to be stupid!" Ye Han hated the iron, "Isn't this a cannon?"
The veteran suddenly realized his mistake and slapped his forehead: "Oh, oh, oh, this brain, I understand!" As he said this, he turned on the switch of the electronic device.
Vehicle-mounted radios are also electronic devices. Turning off the radio is equivalent to cutting off the connection between all vehicles, which is equivalent to actively paralyzing the command system.
It is not difficult to resume command. All you need to do is notify the vehicles participating in the battle to restart. The problem is that a bunch of nuclear bombs have just exploded outside. You can't say it is absolutely safe to stay in the car. Wouldn't it be courting death to run outside the car?
Although the radioactive contamination of neutron bombs is very weak, no matter how weak it is, it is still a nuclear weapon. Moreover, not many people know what kind of warhead exploded. Even if Ye Han guessed some of the truth, he could not guarantee that his guess was correct, let alone know the information.
Is the data I saw accurate? Maybe as soon as I left the vehicle, I was riddled with radiation and I didn’t even know how I died.
There are countless electronic devices on modern weapon platforms. Without activating the electronic devices, it is impossible to fire the shells. The shot just now can basically be regarded as a signal to start the weapon.
As expected, as soon as Ye Han turned on the car radio, he heard bursts of hissing noises, and Long Jianguo's distorted voice came from the radio: "Hear...beep...answer!"
This was obviously the last half of a sentence. Ye Han immediately replied: "012 Got it, please tell me!"
"That's great...bah...!" Long Jianguo said happily, "Ye Han...bah...give all the...bah...babs in your car to me...bah...stay in the car, any...
... Hey... no reason is allowed... Hey... one step on the armored vehicle... Hey... even if you have shit, you can poop it in my pants!"
"yes!"
"And... uh... fire cannons to stop... uh... insects."
"Understood, veteran, fire!" Ye Han shouted loudly.
Although the communication quality was very poor, but supplemented by the current situation, Ye Han immediately got the correct communication content.
012 quickly joined the firing ranks. More and more soldiers heard the sound of artillery and took the initiative to turn on their phones and join the battle. After a while, the sound of artillery resounded over the battlefield again, and the intensive artillery fire eliminated the locusts that escaped the net one by one.
The soldiers who were focused on the battle strictly followed the orders, but no one thought carefully about why their superiors issued such orders, including Ye Han.
If they have a chance to calm down and think carefully, they will find that there is an extremely tight connection between the two orders before and after.
In fact, the detonation point of a neutron bomb is five or six kilometers away. Although the nuclear explosion has a certain impact on the viaduct, it is definitely not as high as imagined. Even if you stand outside the car without protection, the amount of radiation received by the human body is not
It will have an immediate impact on your health.
But a nuclear explosion is a nuclear explosion. Even if the neutron bomb produces very little radioactive material, it is still less but not none. If the explosion products stay in place, they will definitely not cause any additional pollution. The bad thing is that the center of the explosion happens to be located in the locust.
Within the group!
Needless to say, the giant locusts were directly killed and severely injured by the neutron flow. These giant locusts have lost the ability to move and can only wait for death. However, those giant locusts that are far away from the explosion center and only slightly injured are potential risks.
.
They don't understand what a nuclear explosion is, nor what radiation is. Although they instinctively avoid high temperatures, they are inevitably contaminated with radioactive dust. When giant locusts carrying radioactive dust approach the viaduct, the radiation intensity near the viaduct will naturally increase. If a person
Exposed, the consequences are dire.
Therefore, all efforts to stop the giant locusts must first prevent the giant locusts from continuing to move south, and secondly, prevent the giant locusts from spreading radioactive dust - no matter how small the radioactive pollution of the neutron bomb is, it is still radioactive pollution, even if it only takes a few hours to dissipate.
It will take several hours for the radiation intensity to drop below safe levels.
A few hours are enough for a giant locust to fly dozens of kilometers, carrying radioactive dust with it to eat crops. The harm caused by the dust may not be less than that of the giant locust itself.
The military even hesitates to use nuclear weapons to deal with giant locusts. If a few giant locusts are let go at this juncture, who can afford to take such a heavy blame?
Although the complex electromagnetic environment caused certain interference to the electronic equipment on the vehicle, the interference was not strong enough to affect the shooting accuracy. The giant locusts approaching the viaduct were killed one by one by artillery fire, and no giant locust could cross the viaduct.
.
However, armored vehicles can only deal with giant locusts flying to the south, and many giant locusts broke away from the locust swarm after the nuclear explosion and flew scattered in other directions.
There are only two lines of defense in the entire Linzhou Province, one in the east and one in the west, located in the northeast and northwest of Linyi respectively. These two lines of defense are not strong and can even be said to be very fragile. As long as the locust swarm takes a detour, they can avoid these two fatal lines.
