The SS-20 is available in different configurations of single and three-part warheads, with different warheads of power, different ranges for the use of three-stage rockets or two-stage rockets, and even two 150,000-ton warheads can be installed.

According to Pavel, if a missile with a third-stage rocket uses a 1-million-ton single warhead of the late type equipped in the mid-80s, the open range is 10,000 km, while the actual maximum range reaches 11,000 km!

In the case of the 1976 version of the early 1 million ton single warhead, the payload limitations made it impossible to install on the retrofit third stage rocket, and the maximum range could only reach 5500 km.

In the years from the mid-70s to the early 80s, the Soviet Union's thermonuclear weapons technology developed rapidly, the size and weight of warheads of the same power became smaller and smaller, and the configuration of strategic missile warheads became more and more flexible.

"In the early days of developing strategic missiles, both we and the United States liked to advertise the range of ballistic missiles far, but 20 years ago, both sides liked to say that the range was shorter..."

Pavel's words can be understood by everyone, from the beginning it was simply a threat to each other, and when it was no longer a problem to develop to the range, both sides knew that they could easily destroy each other.

At this time, saying that the range of nuclear missiles is shorter will play a certain role in confusing, just like the propaganda strategy of the major naval powers before World War II on the maximum speed of their own capital ships, main gun parameters and other data.

1 million tons, this thing is the real national hole card in Zhang Nan's impression, although several major countries have nuclear warheads larger than this level, and even have 25 million ton nuclear bombs, in fact, I feel that as long as there are million-ton nuclear bombs that can be effectively dropped, no one dares to mess with you!

"I always feel that a 1 million ton bomb smashed into a big city is not much different from the effectiveness and deterrence of a 10 million ton nuclear bomb.

I remember as if... Eh, I can't remember when I've seen the propaganda that this megaton nuclear bomb is powerful..."

Zhang Nan's brain was a little distressed, and he couldn't remember it all of a sudden, what he wanted to talk about was the lethality of nuclear bombs.

At this time, Andre, Paul and the others did not speak, and it would be a little rude to interrupt the boss's thoughts.

Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan know a rough idea, they have seen some propaganda materials and military teaching films when they were serving in the army, but who will deliberately remember it?

As long as the soldier understands how powerful the nuclear bomb is powerful enough and how to protect it as much as possible, God will leave the rest to God.

knew what Zhang Nan was going to say, but no one spoke, didn't think about it, Nicole smiled and said: "Ground explosion, air explosion, coastal explosion, the power is different in different places, the target environment is different, and the effect will be different. ”

Zhang Nan glanced at his woman, "You know?"

Nicole laughed "hehehe", the aura of the super strong woman who controls the giant consortium and the charm of the mature beauty naturally exude, and she gave others a little weird and confident taste.

It's self-confidence, after laughing confidently, Nicole said to Zhang Nan: "My dear, I won the county-wide championship in the civil defense knowledge competition in the fifth grade of primary school, do you think I know?"

I can recite to you the public data related to the nuclear explosion, and you know that I have a very good memory of numbers and data..."

Well, this is a naked show-off, a schoolboy-style confident aura bursting, and everyone else is smiling slightly when they look at this scene - the memory of the proprietress is super good, this is what everyone knows, people play finance.

I don't play finance today, and the proprietress seems to have returned to the era of a school bully when she was a child, which gives people a bit of an interesting feeling.

Nicole really knows what her men can't understand and remember, because since 1951, the U.S. Federal Civil Defense Agency has led a series of civil defense propaganda and mobilization plans, applying the theory and model of U.S. foreign psychological propaganda warfare to domestic civil defense propaganda and mobilization.

It was a social propaganda and mobilization with the ideological color of the Cold War, at the level of the general mobilization of the whole people, and the American civil defense education and mobilization based on "Cold War citizens" and "Cold War patriotism" were fruitful and lasted for decades, and Nicole was one of the qualified and even excellent products.

As a matter of fact, the Americans have not only engaged in civil defense education, but have also invested a huge amount of manpower, material, and financial resources in the construction of civil defense projects over the past few decades, and have built a huge number of civil defense engineering facilities with rational layout and systematic support.

The simplest thing is: more than 60% of homes in the United States have basements!

Nicole's childhood and youth were the years when the Cold War Soviet Union switched from defense to offense, and the effect of civil defense patriotic education was very good!

Since Nicole is in a good mood and wants to show off, it's up to her to be happy.

"Taking Chicago in the late 60s and 70s as an example, after a megaton nuclear bomb exploded at an altitude of 300 meters in the city center, the absolute destruction radius of the shock wave to the indoor heavy reinforced concrete buildings was 2.87 kilometers, the radius of light radiation instantly ignited combustibles was 5.6 kilometers, and the absolute killing radius through nuclear radiation was about two kilometers.

The instantaneous absolute lethality radius for exposed personnel is 6.3 km, the lethal radius for people in trenches is 3.6 km, for people in tanks is 2.8 km, and for people in specialized bomb shelters is 1.2 km.

In the permanent fortifications reinforced underground, the instantaneous lethal radius of personnel in facilities such as large-depth subways is about 760 meters.

Therefore, for heavy industry and heavy reinforced concrete construction type cities, after the megaton nuclear bomb is exploded, the personnel who happen to be behind the solid building have a chance to survive 4 kilometers away, which is equivalent to hiding in a trench, but it needs to be in the shadow area.

The deep-depth subway means that the people in the subway with a depth of at least 20 meters or more have hope of survival as long as they are eight or nine hundred meters away, so the subway lines that are both resistant to nuclear bomb attacks are more than 20 meters deep, and many are at the level of 30 meters..."

Hearing this, Zhang Nan suddenly thought of something: the depth of the first urban subway in China is about 30 meters, which obviously has the effect of preventing nuclear bomb attacks.

In the United States, it is customary to use Chicago as a reference for civil defense, because the architectural structure of that city is representative of a modern metropolis, and a megalopolis like New York is too special.

What would it be like if a nuclear war broke out and a megaton nuclear weapon exploded in a modern metropolis like Chicago?

“... The first few seconds of intense light radiation and penetrating nuclear radiation will cause the immediate death of an exposed population within a radius of 6.3 kilometers and within direct sight of the bombing site!

Modern cities like to use glass curtain walls as exterior walls, before the shock wave destroys these glasses, the reflection of the mirror glass will make the people hiding in the back of the building completely exposed to light radiation, and the building will instantly catch fire and burn at high temperatures;

The ensuing shock wave will turn all the glass curtain walls into countless glass shrapnel and sweep through the streets, and hundreds of millions of cars loaded with gasoline can fly hundreds of meters with flames, turning them into the best arsonists.

The casualties caused by fires caused by nuclear explosions and the collapse of skyscrapers may exceed those caused by the nuclear explosion itself, and after the light radiation, shock waves, and penetrating nuclear radiation have passed, radioactive contamination will be a long-term killer, and the extent of the damage depends on the direction of the wind.

When the yield of a nuclear explosion reaches 1 million tons, nuclear fallout will rise into the stratosphere, and if the weather conditions are right, radioactive contamination can kill people within tens of thousands of square kilometers in the next few years, and many of those who are less exposed to radiation will also develop various cancers.

If the purpose of the war is not to occupy the opponent's territory, but only to destroy the opponent to the greatest extent, then the most terrifying ground explosion can be used!

Once the ground explodes, a megaton nuclear bomb can blow up at least a super crater with a diameter of several hundred meters to one kilometer, and throw out millions or even tens of millions of tons of debris and soil, among which tens of thousands of tons of extremely small nuclear dust particles will rise to the stratosphere.

Once the nuclear bomb is used in this way, it will be a real extinction, and the nuclear contamination is tens or hundreds of times that of the air explosion, and as for those buildings on the ground, the radius of destruction will be increased by at least 5%.

Ground explosions are also very conducive to the destruction of underground fortifications, not to mention the ordinary anti-nuclear attack subway within 1 kilometer, maybe 5 kilometers away in the subway will die and be shocked. ”

When Nicole finished speaking, Andre added: "Boss, we simulated the effect of a nuclear attack on the greater Los Angeles area of the United States many years ago.

The city is a long polygonal with a complex structure, using three 500,000-ton sub-warheads, as long as the explosion point is appropriate, without ground explosion, a 350-meter air explosion can completely destroy the entire super metropolitan area, and the number of casualties with permanent disability is more than 3 million. ”

The incapacitated type means that even if you survive, you will lose your ability to work and fight, and to put it bluntly, you will be disabled.

Speaking of which, Andrei smiled and said: "In fact, we have simulated the damage effect of almost all major cities in the world being attacked by nuclear bombs, including Moscow and Leningrad, and the United States has also simulated the same thing. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Weirong raised his head slightly and asked, "What would happen if it was a super metropolis like Beijing, New York, and Tokyo?"

"About 100 square kilometers of buildings and people in the area at the center of the nuclear explosion were devastated, killed, and injured, with the number of instantaneous and absolute deaths within three days being more than 1 million, close to 1.5 million.

Of the remaining nearly 10 million people in the city, if they spend too much time in the contaminated area, millions of them may die within a week to five years, and the rest of the people who have spent time in the moderately or severely contaminated area will basically be affected by radiation sickness for the rest of their lives.

If you were to switch to cities with very high population densities such as Tokyo and the heart of New York, the number of deaths would be even higher or even double.

This is still an air explosion, and if there is a ground explosion, the shock wave needs to have a radius of at least 12 kilometers before it will fail to cause permanent damage to the reinforced concrete building, all of which is still a relatively conservative estimate.

Nuclear bombs are the devil, boss, with all these you have at hand, no one will dare to mess with you for at least 50 years, or even 100 years. As for the future, who knows, maybe boss, you can make something in your pharmaceutical laboratory that will kill all mankind.

By the way, boss, we know some biochemical experts who have had a hard time in the past two years, and they are all good at researching drugs, why don't we help you recruit some?"

"Recruitment has already begun, and any of you can be introduced.

I'm a man who likes money, I like treasures, and I like life even more. The pharmaceutical factory is good, there is no unprofitable pharmaceutical factory in this world, and the sky-high price of medicine..."

Thinking of some things in my previous life, one year tens of thousands of people in Yan County rushed to the next county to smash each other's pharmaceutical factories, because of pollution...

There are also those imported sky-high drugs that cost thousands of dollars a box...

As for the Red Devils, they think of something else: large pharmaceutical groups have large biochemical laboratories that are advanced enough to develop drugs that save people, and they can also develop things that kill people!

"That's it, I've been waiting for the Spaniards to come to the door lately.

There have been a lot of messy things in recent months, and I hope to have some time at the end of the year and next year. ”

Saying that, Zhang Nan stood up and was about to leave, and added: "I want to be stable, but there are always people who come to cause trouble, it's really troublesome!"

The tree is very windy, annoying!"

It's annoying, I really want to do something I like quietly, organize my collection, take my children around the world, and live like that.

Unfortunately, no.

In the evening, Mr. Zipper called, and Zhang Nan congratulated the other party on winning the election.

On November 3, Mr. Zipper, as the Democratic presidential candidate, defeated the incumbent president and Republican presidential candidate Lao Bu in the general election, and was successfully elected as the 42nd and 52nd president of the United States.

Mr. Zipper was also the first U.S. president born after World War II, and his election gave Democrats a 12-year-old presidency of the United States.

Before, most people, including countries around the world, were relatively optimistic about Lao Bu, but the voting result was a surprise to many people!

Mr. Zipper won in 32 states and the capital, Washington, District of Columbia, winning 370 electoral votes, far more than the 270 needed to be elected president;

As for Lao Bu, he only won in 18 states, and only won 163 electoral votes, a complete fiasco!

Mr. Zipper called to invite Zhang Nan to attend his swearing-in ceremony on January 20 next year: The Sunshine Star Consortium has really made a great contribution in this election, and such an invitation is necessary!

Of course, whether to go or not is Zhang Nan's business, and the latter happens to have no interest in such a thing.

"William, Nicole will participate on behalf of our consortium, and I'll forget it, so as not to embarrass you. ”

It's low-key, and it's an eventful time now.

As soon as he said this, Mr. Zipper on the other end of the phone said: "Alan, although I haven't taken a job yet, according to tradition, many foreign dignitaries have contacted me.

Recently, there have been some deaths in Spain, and there is a trend on the rise of terrorist organizations in the Middle East itself, and I hope that when I take office, oil prices will not fluctuate too much because of this..."

It's all cliché, which means that the Spaniards signaled, or through the channel of the next president of the United States.

Zhang Nan hates this kind of routine, everything has to be done according to the routine, so he didn't speak well: it should be said that these politicians can't talk well at all, and more often than not, they are full of nonsense!

Now that the signal is there, let's go ahead, anyway, there will be no direct negotiations head-on, and let the judges of the Florida federal court and the lawyers on both sides talk about the issue of "compensation".

As for Shah, the signal is to consider himself unlucky, otherwise Mr. Zipper would have said more.

It's all routines.

Troublesome!
