After occupying Site No. 5, Zhou Weiguo ordered the soldiers to station on the spot. While the supply trucks returned to Shenxiang Town to load ammunition, each team reported and summarized the casualties.
The collected weapons and ammunition were compiled and registered, and those that could be used were taken with them. Those that could not be used were treated as scrap and put together with the collected C, B, and A-type steel, waiting for trucks to take them to the Donggou Town Colony.
As for the rescued prisoners, Zhou Weiguo ordered his soldiers to place them in temporary camps, provided them with nutritional mixture, and recruited soldiers and engineers who were willing to join.
Many of them are soldiers of the Jia City Rebel Alliance. They only need to be issued with a rifle and can become combat effective without any extra training. But when they heard that Zhou Weiguo planned to attack Jia City, avenge the mutants, and liberate
their homeland, they defected to the banner of the new Ming Dynasty without any hesitation.
Just as the First Corps seized a lot of weapons from the mutants, Zhou Weiguo divided some of the 1,400 soldiers he recruited into various infantry teams, and the other part formed separate infantry teams. As for the 1,000 engineers, he also brought them with him.
Once in the team, he can serve as a substitute and build fortifications.
After reorganization, the number of the First Corps instantly expanded to more than 4,000 people.
Early the next morning, the fully equipped First Corps continued on the road, heading towards Jia City.
As for the remaining rescued prisoners, after asking Zhu Tian what he wanted, Zhou Weiguo temporarily placed them in No. 5 and promised to send people to pick them up after Jia City was captured. Then he led his troops to leave No. 5
land.
The real battlefield is in Jia City.
The mutants entrenched in Land No. 5 are just an appetizer.
...
"Five power armors, 31 mechanical exoskeletons were damaged in the battle, 110 light infantry were killed, and 132 people were seriously injured. A total of 210,000 rounds of ammunition and 2,200 artillery shells were consumed." Standing in the office, Xu Anhua reported to Zhu Tian the first
The results of the regiment.
Sure enough, a cannon fired, and thousands of taels of gold were lost. The consumption of this first battle alone was more than 350,000 energy crystals. Even Zhu Tian, who made nearly 10 million energy crystals in the food business, had to lament the consequences of this war.
Burn money.
Of course, this energy crystal was not paid for by him, but by the war funds raised by Tianyuan Base.
"How is the situation at Tianyuan Base?" Zhu Tian asked, staring at the holographic map.
"The reinforcement of the fence is basically completed. At the same time, traces of projectile activities were observed outside Tianyuan Base." Xu Anhua said.
Projectiles were observed outside Tianyuan Base, which means that the zombies and alien species outside the city center have spread to the suburbs.
Is the storm about to come?
Looking at the red dots on the holographic map, Zhu Tian fell into silence.
At this moment, as a marshal, all he can do is sit at his desk and wait for the good news from the front. As the power of the new Ming Dynasty expands, there are fewer and fewer things that require him to do it himself.
All battle losses and results were presented to him as just a number.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Please come in." Zhu Tian looked towards the door and said.
The door opened, and Kong Jie, the director of the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, walked in. His face was filled with joy, not the sad expression of others in the base.
"What you need is already here."
After hearing Kong Jie's words, Zhu Tian looked at the clock on the wall and then stood up.
"Take me to see it now."
"Okay." Kong Jie nodded, immediately turned around and walked out the door.
Follow
Later Zhu Tian looked at Xu Anhua again.
"I'll leave it to you here."
"Um."
Her answer was as concise as ever.
...
Went to the launch site of the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology with Kong Jie, and saw several staff working around a rocket about four stories high.
A robotic arm several people tall was connected to the tablet by a data cable. A technician was tapping the screen with his fingers, operating the robotic arm to extend the welding gun and completely welding the spliced steel plates.
Except for the waste that was assigned to open up wasteland, among the scientists in Vault 7, only the people from the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology were left in the shelter. Ever since Zhu Tian ordered Kong Jie to establish the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, these scientists have dragged
The family and their families were relocated to the Ming Dynasty Survivor Base.
They were a little unhappy at first, but would Zhu Tian care about their displeasure? They were provided with delicious food and drink, but they wanted to go back to the shelter and avoid talking about it. Seeing that their protests were ineffective, they had no choice but to honestly contribute their knowledge and help Zhu Tian.
Sky design rocket.
"The Dolphin-10 intercontinental ballistic missile was developed at the end of the 21st century and is still in use today. It is probably the largest variety of ballistic missiles deployed in the territory of the former East Asian Cooperation Government." Looking at this rocket, Kong Jie had a sense of pride on his face.
.
In order to create this missile, he also put a lot of effort into it. Although he didn't understand why Zhu Tian wanted to design a weapon that could hit the Western Hemisphere, he still followed Zhu Tian's request.
Just such a missile used up materials worth one million energy crystals. In the past few months, Kong Jie had been scolded by Wang Qing.
Among the project departments of the entire base, only his Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute spent the most money. Because many parts could not be produced by themselves at all, expensive employment fees had to be paid to the exploration teams that went out of the province.
For example, the propulsion engine of this missile was transported from the Wanwan launch base thousands of kilometers away from Jinling City. In order to transport the propulsion engine, those mercenary groups risked being torn apart by mutated sharks, so the commission was natural
It won't be very few.
However, if you roll your eyes, you still need to approve the funding. After all, this is a project personally ordered by the marshal.
"Why is it called dolphin? Such a weird name." Zhu Tian couldn't help but complain.
"Deploy under the sea, peacemaker, you know." Kong Jie knocked on the base of the missile with a welding gun and said with a grin.
Zhu Tian was stunned for a moment, then he understood the meaning of his words and smiled.
Messenger of peace, messenger of nuclear peace.
Gee, I didn’t expect this future person to be quite humorous.
"The missile has a total length of 11 meters, a diameter of 1.55 meters, a launch weight of 35.1 tons, and a maximum throw weight of 2,088 kilograms. It can be deployed in a 1,200-meter-deep submarine missile silo, with a maximum range of 21,000 kilometers. The missile's side launch ring is underwater propulsion
Device, if you use it on land, you don’t need that thing.”
"The launch mechanism is a non-separable three-stage propulsion mode, that is, the underwater propulsion ring propels the missile to 100 meters underwater and then separates from the missile. The missile's own engine ignites, and the engine stalls after pushing the missile to low-Earth orbit. It relies on the rotation of the earth to transfer to
After the target is in the air, the engine is re-ignited and strikes the target area vertically."
"The missile shell is coated with anti-radar material, which can reduce the radar reflection signal to the size of a seagull. In theory, only the 'passive coherent positioning system' can detect the missile launch signs."
In terms of size, with a total length of 11 meters, it is undoubtedly like a pocket-sized toy compared to the intercontinental missiles of the five gangsters, which can move 20 to 30 meters. But there is no doubt that anyone who dares to doubt its combat effectiveness will
There will be a price to pay for this.
According to the length of 11 meters
, calculated with a missile diameter of 1.55 meters, the volume of this missile is approximately 20.7 cubic meters. For its storage space, bringing this thing into reality is simply easy and enjoyable.
"Have the combat components been put in?" The combat components Zhu Tian pointed to were naturally nuclear components.
"The 500,000-equivalent hydrogen warhead is being welded on the outer shell and is almost ready." Kong Jie raised his thumb and pointed at the busy robotic arm.
What is the concept of a 500,000-ton nuclear bomb? It can be described with four reference data.
[Exposed persons: 4.1, persons in tanks: 1.9, persons in bomb shelters: 0.7, persons in permanent fortifications: 0.46]
These four data respectively correspond to the lethal radius (km) of a 500,000-ton nuclear bomb to people behind different concealments. This does not include radioactive contamination damage. Of course, this is evaluated based on current protection standards.
In the apocalypse, armored units such as power armor and tanks usually have built-in lead metal fiber barriers, so their resistance to radiation damage is much higher. It is precisely for this reason that the strategic role of nuclear bombs in this world's wartime is mainly
Or use dirty bombs to paralyze enemy infrastructure, restrict light infantry from entering the battlefield, etc.
As long as two or three of these nearly uninterceptible 500,000-ton nuclear missiles are deployed on the seabed, they are almost enough to form a nuclear deterrent. Once Palau declares itself a nuclear-armed country and has global strike capabilities, even if the United States wants to attack Palau
The idea would also have to be weighed against the combined market caps of New York, Los Angeles and Washington.
Deterrence is enough.
If possible, Zhu Tian hopes that he will never need it.
Once the nuclear button is pressed, this thing cannot stop. Even the technology of the 22nd century cannot stop this simple and crude weapon.
"How many nuclear warheads can be made from the remaining nuclear materials?" Zhu Tian then asked.
"Taking into account the uranium in the base and the nuclear materials collected from Tianyuan Base some time ago, we can probably make two more." Kong Jie made an estimate and gave a conservative figure.
The materials required to make a dirty bomb type thermonuclear weapon are mainly tritium and tritium lithium compounds, while uranium-235 is just the detonation device. There is only one way to obtain tritium in the wasteland, and that is to extract so much tritium from unused nuclear materials.
One or two grams of tritium.
Of course, it would be easier to create non-dirty bomb thermonuclear weapons. Just use helium-3 extracted from civilian nuclear fusion batteries as raw material. However, the thermonuclear reaction between helium-3 and deuterium will only produce non-radioactive
Protons, so using helium-3 as the raw material for nuclear warheads will not produce radiation, so the deterrent effect will be much smaller.
This technology has not yet been developed in this world, and even if the technical conditions are met, it is difficult to realize it.
Because the total reserves of helium-3 on the earth are estimated to be only 500 kilograms. The nearest helium-3 vein is on the moon.
Zhu Tian nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Very good, your next task is to create two more Peace Envoys."
"Are you going to use this thing to clean up alien species? With all due respect, the killing power of nuclear weapons against alien species is not ideal. Those things originally crawled out of nuclear craters. And the nuclear craters created by the explosion are likely to be crawled by crawlers.
Such alien species should be used as a nest." Kong Jie hesitated and reminded.
"Of course it's not used to deal with alien species. If I want to blow up alien species, can't I just get a cannon and launch nuclear bombs? I'm still going to bother to build some ballistic missiles. As for where to use it, don't worry about it. You can help me with it later.
Just transport this missile to the backyard of my villa."
After saying that, Zhu Tian turned around and walked away.
As a marshal, he did not need to explain his actions to anyone. Because of this, Kong Jie sighed helplessly, and then ordered everyone to prepare to transfer Dolphin-10.
