Chapter 288: Thermobaric Bomb
In May, Tuva will hold a new round of parliamentary and presidential elections, which Pugachev was interested in, but now has new ambitions. After all www.biquge.info, Tuva is a poor and remote place, and the people here are simple and simple, and the essence of Russia should not be held here if you want to develop more.
The incumbent president, Dukbayev, plans to hold a Victory Day parade in addition to propaganda, which may defeat all rivals. The biggest rival here is Pugachev, and if he were to pick it, the results would be pretty much obvious.
"I just want to run for president of the federal federation right now, and now that my fortune will exceed $100 million in the foreseeable future, I will have the capital to compete." In a secret meeting with Dukbayev, he told about his new life, and he also told star fruit and Daming about it.
"Sir's idea is too idealistic!" Although Pugachev brought out the constitution, star fruit still denied it in one bite, and the law is one set of implementation and one set. He could indeed run for federal presidency, but it would be useless. "I guess Yeltsin will definitely give the seat to that man, and he is the only one who can save Russia among the many bureaucrats at present."
Pugachev smiled contemptuously, and the little girl's words could not dispel his thoughts. Don't bother with this kind of thing, you will know everything next year.
The Victory Day parade on May 9 was the first time Tuva had done this. The participation in the parade was largely the armed forces of Tuva, and the border guards also drew some people to participate. Militias and ordinary people also took part in the march.
The brother and sister and Sonia both stand on the proposed viewing platform, and this play also adds luster to ordinary days. Carambola saw that the weapons in the hands of these soldiers were basically weapons produced in the local arsenal. Some of them also carried RPGs on their shoulders, and their steps were not standard, and one by one they wore huge hats and marched forward with their heads held high.
Pugachev Besika Heavy Industry's two magic weapons, oil and military industry, are developing rapidly. Arms taxes are large and the benefits are even greater, and just one NATO 7.62 sells for $2.
When the helicopters arrived, workers quickly set up wooden hangars, followed by new workers recruited from Moscow and elsewhere. The new workers are a mixed bag, and they are basically laid-off workers and even engineers in various state-owned enterprises. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, some state-owned enterprises closed down on a large scale, some had long-term arrears of wages, and some engineers even relied on selling their household registrations, which was a waste of talent.
Among these people were several chemical specialists, who were temporarily assigned to the dispensing workshop of the arsenal.
Helicopters have already been involved in the transport of goods from the shores of Lake Baikal to Kyzyl, which used to be 1,600 kilometers by land, but now only two hours by air. The Mi-171 and Mi-26A were fully dispatched, and the most powerful was the Mi-12, which was directly hung in a container for transshipment of goods.
The taxes on weapons were very high, and with Pugachev's consent, the brothers and sisters began to transfer some of the means of production, and even brought back the scrap metal from the tank cemetery in Badyginskaya for free bribes.
The artillery workshop of the arsenal is producing mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, and the production of conventional weapons is also mediocre, and at the moment star fruit is not satisfied with these.
The railway is still under construction, and star fruit is now putting those aside on a whim, and colleagues are also pushing Sonya, who wants to play together, aside.
Da Ming was pleased to see that her sister was working again on the table in the wooden house, where she drew some sketches and then some chemical formulas. It's already late, and I can't stand it when I see her working so hard.
"You don't sleep when it's cold, beware of catching a cold." Da Ming draped his shirt over her thin shoulders, and star fruit smiled back. "What are the chemical formulas you wrote? I don't even understand it. ”
"It's a weapon that can create purgatory, you know, I was originally a technician in the arsenal, and now only I know a lot of things." Star fruit is deliberately sold guanzi, but in fact these are thermobaric explosives.
The cloudburst bomb was invented in the sixties, and in the new century, an upgraded version of the cloudburst bomb, the thermobaric bomb, was also successfully invented. Carambola thought that since the company now had chemical experts, it would be too condescending for them to charge the shells.
The higher the level of science and technology of a weapon, the higher its value, and the higher the efficiency of inventing new weapons to make money. For a whole day, star fruit was studying this, and Daming's thing was to go to the railway construction site to see, and now he took a day to accompany his sister.
"It took the Americans two months to upgrade the cloudburst bomb to a thermobaric bomb, and the problem was like Edison's search for filaments, and now I know the composition of these filaments." Star fruit briefly introduced the matter of thermobaric bombs to Da Ming, but just dictation really couldn't make this young man understand.
"So what are you going to do with this thing after you made it?" Da Ming asked curiously.
I suddenly didn't think about how to use star fruit, and in the future, PLA was quickly developed after it was successfully manufactured in the United States, and now I have advanced the time by three years. Every soldier in the PLA carries an RPG, and the RPG with a thermobaric warhead is the most deadly. Giving lethal weapons to some unreliable guys is giving lethal weapons to demons, especially this crazy weapon. "Let's just sell it to the state, we just need to give the formula to the country."
Da Ming nodded with satisfaction.
Pugachev was very curious to learn that a new weapon was to be developed, and immediately held an anomalous meeting at the factory. The dispensers and existing weapons engineers present read a temporary confidentiality regulation, which basically means that there is a reward for confidentiality, and the punishment for leaking secrets is very serious. Only star fruit announced the temperature pressure**, and the next step is to buy all the ingredients for the recipe.
Magnesium powder, aluminum powder, oxidizer and many other rare chemicals. Chemical experts have found their right place, and the plant can meet the conditions for hazardous chemical configurations. The bonuses for these people are very generous, and the monthly salary of the few specialists has reached almost 10,000 dollars, despite the fact that most of the salaries in Russia are in arrears.
It was all worth it, and the brother and sister had to go to the railroad site to work as overseers when they were dispensing potions. Ten days later, after the symbolic presidential elections in Tuva, the experts announced that the drug had been prepared according to the blueprints.
The siblings accepted the experts' invitation with great interest to prove the weapon's value before weaponizing them. The engineers made it according to the script, they understood the drawings, and according to the standards of the cloud burst agent, they also knew the experiment.
Only ten grams of the potion were placed in a small glass bottle, and all participants in the weapons experiment wore sunglasses. Star fruit is very confident, here Pugachev and Daming are waiting to see. The deflagration of the agent was triggered by touch, and everyone hid 500 meters away, holding binoculars one by one.
At the sound of the command to start the button, the glass bottle quickly exploded. A small mushroom cloud unfolded, followed by a wave of air. Pugachev was shocked, it was 500 meters away from the explosion.
"What the hell do we make? How can it have so much power, only ten grams! The engineer was also stunned, this is much more ruthless than a cloud burst bomb. Are we really going to put this in the shells? "Star fruit was questioned like this.
The weapon is the sword of Damocles, the power of a large thermobaric bomb, it is like a miniature tactical nuclear weapon, and there are no bones left within a radius of several kilometers with one shot, or it may be said to turn into green smoke. Pugachev was very satisfied that people could not live with wealth, and he stood up for continued weaponization.
Engineers don't have a choice, after all, who wants to live with money? The factory's RPGs are only copied from the PRG7 and PRG29. The large RPG29 can be used as a fixed firepower, and the rockets he launches can also fly farther. Today, the plant has produced rockets filled with thermobaric explosives.
Star fruit had already expected the experiment to cause a lot of movement, so the experiment took place on the outskirts of Kyzyl, far from the railway site and away from the city. The army set up a makeshift trench, and the siblings and Pugachev hid in the tunnel looking through the periscope.
Two soldiers at the launch point in the distance, as if this operation was just a launch rocket for military training in peacetime. It's just that they have been told to abandon the launcher and hide in the straggler crater immediately after the rocket is launched.
President Dukbayev did not participate in the experiment, nor did he even inform him, until an inexplicable gust of wind hit, followed by a shocking mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
Pugachev picked up the phone and gave an order, and the soldiers pulled the trigger and the rocket was launched, and then they quickly hid.
A powerful flash of light was followed by a huge explosion, and the rocket engineer said that eight kilograms of the agent were put in, and according to calculations, its power would exceed twenty-five kilograms** equivalent. The rocket aimed at an old World War II tank with only a shell left, and the crowd two kilometers away didn't know what had happened.
Kyzyl was small, and an inexplicable mushroom cloud shocked the municipality. The president immediately called Pugachev's Besika company to inquire about the situation and learned that it was only a test of a new weapon. "Bastard, is your new weapon a nuclear weapon?" He had no idea what it was, and he and his colleagues climbed up to the tall building with binoculars in hand, and the tall gray mushroom cloud was astonishing.
In the open area, the deflagration of thermobaric bombs is very efficient, and there is a huge pressure and high temperature under the smoke, and when the smoke gradually clears, everyone drives the jeep to see the experimental results.
"Oh my God, the tank has been blown up, well, maybe crushed." Pugachev was stunned on the spot, there was already a crater here, and there was still a sparkle around it. "Is it already vitrified around here?"
"Yes, it's vitrification, and the temperature of 3,000 degrees even vaporizes iron." Star fruit said triumphantly. The earth is still hot, the smoke clouds are blown away by the wind of the steppe, and the abandoned tanks that explode the heart are indescribable.
Immediately after the incident, the council called for an emergency meeting of the three men, asking questions and asking the company to explain what weapons were being studied. And a group of old hats to explain the highest level of conventional bombs researched by human beings is very weapon, since it is a chicken and duck talking about star fruit, he also deliberately said some professional terms.
The parliamentarians listened anxiously, and the weapons that the arsenal was experimenting with on weekdays were usually just guns and rockets, but this time people remembered the nuclear clouds of the Cold War era. "You should know that our TV station thinks some ammunition depot has exploded." One of the lawmakers snapped.
"Then let the media say that, let's just say that a remote ammunition depot exploded, and it simply did not cause any injuries." Da Ming said, and pulled his dissatisfied sister to ask her in Chinese not to be too ostentatious.
In this way, this secret weapon is also produced in secret, and all warheads are stored without fuses and at the same time strengthen the secrecy protection. But who would have thought that it would be used in real combat a few months later.
