Chapter 379: Strategic Materials
Depth charges are the primary research target.
All weapons capable of killing monsters of the deep sea must be prioritized.
Cloudburst bombs, ground-penetrating bombs, torpedoes, anti-submarine missiles...... The bigger the tonnage, the better. The explosive yield is preferably more than 100 tons. Otherwise, it is estimated that the effect will not be great.
There are many aspects involved in the study of bombs. First and foremost, the chemical industry.
The chemical industry is also a type of industry. Status is very important.
Fertilizers, plastics, gasoline, diesel, ethylene, etc., are all products of the chemical industry.
At that time, the most developed chemical industry in the world is undoubtedly the United States, Dongying and Germany.
The chemical industry in China is very large, and the output is also very large. However, there are not many high-end products.
Modern high-performance explosives basically originated from black sorkin ("cyclosanmethyltrinitroamine" codenamed RDX), with detonation speeds of 8500 to 8600 m/s. Later, it was developed into Octokin "cyclotetramethyltetranitroamine", codenamed HMX), and the detonation speed reached 9000 m/s. Since then, the development of high-performance explosives has been at a standstill.
Later, a big bull in Huaxia came up with CL-20 explosives, which was a huge progress.
If a 150-ton CL-20 had been dropped to a specified depth, the explosion would have been very impressive.
The question is, how to put it to a depth of less than 1000 meters.
It is impossible to rely on your own inertia.
Even if it falls from a height of 10,000 meters, it cannot exceed a depth of 500 meters.
The buoyancy of sea water is very strong and difficult to overcome.
In the conventional arsenal, the power of the cloudburst bomb is undoubtedly the greatest.
However, the cloudburst bomb was useless in the seawater.
It requires oxygen to enhance its lethality. Deep underwater, there is not enough oxygen.
This is tantamount to ruthlessly eliminating the most powerful weapons of killing.
If you want to hunt down the monsters of the deep sea, how easy is it?
In addition, the use of weapons must be based on the search for the target.
If you don't even find the monster of the deep sea, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it will be useless. The previous indiscriminate bombardment was just a waste of ammunition. By the way, vent your anger.
Therefore, sonar, radar, and satellite remote sensing are key research and development targets. Especially sonar.
It would be nice if the sonar could receive a deep-sea signal.
The current sonar can only be used at a depth of about 500 meters.
If it is more than 500 meters, it is basically impossible to distinguish the target. It's all the murmur of chaotic ocean currents.
The deeper the water, the more severe the weakening of the sonar signal. The sonar carried by a warship or submarine has limited power and is impossible to detect too far away.
So, is it necessary to build specialized deep-sea sonar ships?
How much power do you need?
Who's going to do it?
Who will provide the technology?
Who will fund it?
It's all unknown. Everything is planned.
In fact, deep-sea submarines are the easiest to approach deep-sea monsters.
However, there are still many difficulties in breaking through the 1000-meter diving limit.
First of all, the material requirements for the shell of the submarine are very high.
It has to be able to withstand very scary pressures. Ordinary alloys are absolutely not good.
Even titanium alloys can hardly withstand the pressure at a depth of 1000 meters. Only alloys that are more advanced than titanium can do it.
At a depth of 1,500 meters, the pressure of the sea water is equivalent to a division of soldiers stacking arhats on your body. According to the calculation of 70 kilograms per soldier, 10,000 people is 700,000 kilograms. That's 700 tons. That translates to 1,400 tons of weight per square meter. So, how big is a submarine, and how much pressure does it need to withstand?
So, what is this extremely resistant alloy, who can produce it, and where can I buy it?
In addition, ordinary torpedoes, which cannot be used at 1000 meters of water, are also unusable. will be squashed. Maybe it exploded just after launching. Hurt yourself.
In all aspects, there are thousands of problems, which aspect should we start from?
Depth Charge......
Submarine......
"And one more information......"
"What's the message?"
"The ad hoc meeting recommended that everyone dig as many shelters as possible......"
"Don't be so exaggerated. ”
"It's best to choose towering mountains and dig vast shelters to accommodate as many people as possible. ”
“……”
Wang Buan didn't expect that his whim would lead to such serious consequences.
Still digging shelters?
Or do you want to dig under the big mountain ranges, the Himalayas?
Is the impromptu meeting meant to dig through the Himalayas and hide everyone in the caves below?
In other words, it's just a monster of the deep sea. Again, it's not a nuclear war. Do you need it?
It felt like the end of the world was coming.
"Very necessary. Cheng Kailong said solemnly.
"Why?" Wang Bu'an was puzzled.
"Be prepared. ”
"Oh. ”
Saying it is actually the same as not saying it.
However, if you think about it from another angle, it is actually a good opportunity.
Digging deep holes, accumulating grain, and building high walls have always been the strong points of the Chinese people!
If the whole world wants to build shelters, how can it be that there is no infrastructure madness in Huaxia?
Together, Huaxia's construction machinery is also going to go all over the world.
Perhaps, this is the opportunity for the rise of China?
Seriously, the rise of Huaxia is really very difficult.
The original world hegemon is eyeing it.
A little bit of wind and grass is all kinds of strangulation.
If there are no major changes, it is almost impossible to overtake in a corner.
Now, the eyes of the world overlords have been attracted by the deep-sea monsters, perhaps, it is the best opportunity?
To dig a shelter, you need a lot of construction machinery and a lot of technicians.
Only Huaxia in the world can meet the needs of the world at the same time.
Among them, the shield machine ......
That's right, it's the EPB again!
It may become the hottest construction machinery.
If you want to dig a shelter under a large mountain range, how can you do without a shield machine? The bigger the shield machine, the better.
The Kunlun Mountains and Himalayas in China......
The Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, Appalachian Mountains of North America......
Andes Mountains in South America......
The Alps, the Pyrenees in Europe......
Mount Kilimanjaro, Atlas Mountains in Africa......
Ural Mountains ...... of polar bears
Australia's Great Dividing Place......
Do you have to hollow it all out?
Wow! That's an earth-shattering project!
If there is really an alien invasion, won't all the personnel have to run to China?
Because in China, there are the largest number of mountain ranges. Most of the west is full of lofty mountains! How many shelters can be built!
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau alone can accommodate hundreds of millions of people, right?
"Jingle bell!"
"Jingle bell!"
Suddenly received a call from Qin Xueqing.
She looked very excited.
"What's the matter?" asked Wang Bu'an suspiciously.
"Have you heard, our chance has come!" Qin Xueqing said happily.
"What chance?"
"The whole world is going to build shelters!"
". ”
"It's true. I have received reliable information. Not only shelters should be built, but also protective walls at sea. ”
"What sea protection wall?"
"It's about building a fort on the coastline, at intervals. Prevent monster invasion. ”
"Where are there any monsters, don't listen to people's nonsense. ”
"There really is!"
". ”
"You don't believe it!"
"It's hanging!"
Wang Buan decisively hung up the phone.
It feels like things are getting more and more outrageous. More and more deviated from their own conjectures.
Even the shelter came out.
And even what kind of sea protection wall to build!
Who came up with the idea? Is it good to have a little brain?
Isn't it just a sea monster?
Don't you want to be so nervous......
Seriously, Wang Buan already regretted it a little. If he had known that things would make such a big fuss, he wouldn't have played.
It feels like the whole earth is being tossed up right now. What a sin.
However, it is too late to regret it now.
Unless he is willing to be ground into dust and thrown into the sea to continue the waves.
"Jingle bell!"
"Jingle bell!"
Another call came in.
This time, it was Hu Sanniang who called.
"Sanniang, what's the matter?" Wang Bu'an made his tone as calm as possible.
"Boss Wang, I have a lot of orders for hydrogen storage alloys?" you see, ......" Hu Sanniang said with a lot of gains and losses, "Can you arrange a ......?"
"How much do you need?"
"50 million units. ”
"So much?"
"Not much. I've pushed off a lot of orders. Otherwise, there are 80 million. ”
"Oh. ”
Wang Buan agreed.
This is the sequelae of the deep-sea monster!
What is the biggest fear of the end of the world? No food, no electricity, no pure water!
When the time comes, all industry will be destroyed. The power plant, of course, could not have survived. So, where does the electricity come from? It used to rely on generators, but now it relies on hydrogen storage alloys!
A hydrogen storage alloy unit has 10,000 or 5,000 kWh of electricity, which can be used for a long time to save a little use.
Hu Sanniang said that hydrogen storage alloy is now a strategic-level material.
Whenever possible, countries are hoarding.
Sure enough, Wang Bu'an had just hung up the phone, and Chen Binghong called.
However, the relevant departments demanded that the export of hydrogen storage alloys be banned.
"It's included in the list of strategic goods. It can only be supplied domestically. Chen Binghong said.
"Got it. Wang Buan nodded silently.
This is to be expected.
Since it is a strategic material, it must not be exported!
The current output of hydrogen storage alloys is seriously insufficient.
It's okay that there are no deep sea monsters. Now that there is such a wave, hydrogen storage alloys must be regulated.
Fortunately, Prince Said was quick to act, and Tau was not slow. Otherwise, it is impossible to get the hydrogen storage alloy when you place an order now.
And so are water molecule synthesizers.
If the end comes, it's also an artifact!
As long as there is water and electricity, even if there is a real end of the world, there is no fear.
If there is water, production can be developed and food can be grown.
With electricity, you can process machinery and make weapons.
"Ding-dong. ”
Suddenly, a secret message came.
But the big ball has already traveled to the vicinity of New Zealand.
As planned, it will appear here. Let the Pacific Ocean, which was already unstable, become even more unstable.
