Chapter 1158: Liang County Resistance Battle (5)
The armpit man uncharacteristically shrank his forces backwards, but he put on an offensive posture in the rear, but his rear was at least seven or eight miles away from the front line of the Xian army, and when he launched an attack at this distance, no matter how good his physical strength was, most of them had lost his strength when he rushed to the front of the Xian army.
What's more, the frontal vision is wide, the Xianjun army's automatic weapons are hugely powerful, and the barrage is dense.
Hanging up Jiang Jie's phone, Bai Liyan couldn't help but be confused, and then Zhao Huan asked Peng Zhi on the side:
"General Peng, this has happened to the armpits in the past few months."
"No, even if it was a tactical retreat, there was absolutely no such large-scale retreat."
After getting Peng Zhi's affirmative answer, Zhao Huan and Baili Yan said:
"Master Si Nong, do you want to send a group of people to test the attack to find out the truth."
At this time, Bai Liyan twisted his short whiskers that were slightly pale on his chin, staring at the already empty armpit position, and did not rush to answer Zhao Huan's suggestion, he was asking Wild Lan at this time:
"Did you hear anything?"
"No, the interference is too great, and the mother ship equipment cannot filter and separate the effective information content, and cannot identify and extract the effective information."
The core engineering module of Wild Land, located in the crashed spaceship in the Lost Forest in Peishui County, Liang Guo, can theoretically listen to sounds within a radius of 1,300 miles, but the actual situation is much more complicated. The farther away you are, the less valid information you can identify and filter, and vice versa.
The efficiency at night is higher than that during the day, and the flow of people during the day is huge, and noisy sound sources and invalid information sources account for more than 95%, which makes it difficult to screen and filter, and requires more computing resources.
At the same time, the efficiency of this kind of monitoring will also be reduced by fluctuations in flow velocity such as space, time, gravity and other currents caused by solar radiation during the day. In addition, the continuous sound of artillery in Tianyungang, Jinye and Ye in Liang County seriously interfered with the clear space environment in the northern part of Liang State, and the efficiency of monitoring was almost reduced to zero.
Since the beginning of the war, there has been a constant sound of artillery, and there has been little progress in the information obtained by the frenzied monitoring of the armpits.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Liyan asked Wild Lan again:
"What do you suggest?"
"Judging from the current situation, there is no need for them to retreat at all, and at the same time they are preparing for an attack, which is logically inexplicable. But if you substitute the variable definition, it makes sense. ”
"Variable definition? What variables are defined. ”
"I don't know, but it's certain that it's some kind of variable that can make you fail quickly, otherwise they wouldn't have withdrawn six or seven miles away to prepare for the attack."
"Are you saying they have a way to get our army down quickly, and then they'll pick up the bargain?"
"Pretty much."
Ranlan affirmed the statement, but Bailiyan was even more puzzled.
In his opinion, with the current situation, it is not realistic for the coalition forces to lose tens of thousands of people in an instant, and before the atomic bomb, there were no weapons that could cause large-scale casualties in a short period of time, and there were no observation reports showing what super-large caliber artillery had been shipped in recent days, and he really couldn't think of what kind of big moves the armpit people could sacrifice.
However, if the logic of the storm will not go wrong, it can only show that the armpit man has indeed mastered some kind of mass killing weapon, and it is a terrifying thing that can kill tens of thousands of people in an instant.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly sank, and he immediately said to Zhao Huan:
"There's a deception here!"
When the words fell, Zhao Huan couldn't help but understand, Bailiyan immediately picked up the phone and called Jiang Jie, Mo Yunfeng and the others, and ordered the two of them to quickly leave all the troops of the first and second lines of defense.
Zhao Huan was puzzled, and when he hung up the phone, he asked:
"Lord Si Nong, if you withdraw the soldiers and horses in such a hurry, if you come to attack the armpits, you will be able to come to the city."
"The armpit is afraid that there is a big killing weapon, and its sudden retreat must be to make room for this big killing weapon, so as not to accidentally injure his own people. General Zhao, please return to Yongping with General Peng Zhi immediately, and if Liang County is lost, please ask General Zhao to stabilize the back of our army and re-establish the defensive line. ”
"Alright then, I'll rush back to Yongping immediately."
As soon as the order was issued, Jiang Jiemo Yunfeng's men and horses and the Liang army and the Yuke coalition army quickly withdrew from the forward position and transferred to the third line of defense.
At the same time, twenty miles away, a large-caliber howitzer was being loaded with a special silvery-white shell.
The warhead of the shell is silvery-white, but it still uses a brass cartridge, except for the color, it is no different from other shells, but the price of such a shell is not costly, and the cost of one shot is equivalent to 1.65 million inches of silver in the Central Plains, and Oka's destructive weapon is this thing.
At this time, in the headquarters half a mile behind the howitzer, more than a dozen senior generals held binoculars and looked at the position of the Xian army, because of the terrain, they could not see clearly that the Xian army was retreating, Lieutenant General Cross put down the binoculars in his hand and said to his adjutant:
"Is it reloaded?"
"Your Excellency, reloaded."
"Alright then, let's witness this great moment, give me the order, fire!"
"Yes, fire!"
With an order, a roar came from the heavy artillery position, and the silver cannonball whistled out, rushing towards the junction between the second line of defense and the first line of defense of the Xian army.
At this time, the coalition forces withdrew completely, but before they could take a breath, they only felt that there was a snow-white in front of them, and the piercing explosion shook the sky, and Bailiyan looked at the huge ball of light in front of the formation that emitted billowing black smoke, emitting a red-black flame.
In just a few seconds, it swelled, and a violent cyclone stirred up in the air, and the deadly heat and heat could be felt almost for more than a dozen miles.
The moment the eyelids closed, the ball of light swelled rapidly with a thunderous momentum, emitting a hellish devilish roar, and the shockwave of astonishing energy even spread to a distance of twenty miles, and the parked truck on the ground was also overturned to the ground.
"Bastard, Ram, what kind of weapon is that!"
"Uh......"
Wildland was equally amazed at what was happening in front of him, and the rapid collector exploded into the form of the light, wind, speed, energy waves, and equivalents, and rapidly simulated all possible logics, and finally came to the conclusion:
"I see, it's red mercury!"
"What!" Bai Liyan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "You say, this is a red mercury nuclear bomb!" ”
"No, it is a structural bomb made of a strong magnetic alloy of niobium-tantalum and key element rods, which will produce a concussion effect after collision with mercury, and discharge and heat release, which is a secondary chain energy reaction."
"Is there nuclear contamination?"
"Nope. None of the key nickel, niobium, tantalum, and mercury are radiocontaminated. This chain energy reaction uses a strong magnetic alloy of rare earth niobium and tantalum as two electrodes, and the key element rod and the Qiang element rod are placed between the two electrodes, and then loaded into mercury.
At this time, the key element is in a weak discharge state because of the joint action of mercury and strong magnetic alloy, and the key element is constantly being consumed, and the key element can invert the repair process, but it is not a virtuous cycle of zeroing, when the key element is continuously consumed and completely converted into compounds, the process is naturally suspended, and the heat rises sharply.
The explosion you see is a thermal explosion caused by a strong discharge after the collision of the Qiang element and the key element, and the mercury boils under the action of the strong magnetic alloy of niobium and tantalum, and then forms a red mercury compound, and then explodes. ”
"him, grandma, what's the difference between this and a nuclear bomb."
"Although it is outrageous, you don't have to worry about it, the use of this weapon is very restrictive, especially economic and technical.
The key element required to make a bomb of this configuration must be 100% pure cylindrical rods. The characteristics of the key element determine that conventional smelting can only obtain a purity of less than 75%.
Therefore, it is not possible to obtain absolutely pure key elements through smelting electrolysis and conventional chemical means, and a large amount of strong acid liquids of gold and platinum must be used to replace and rinse, so the cost is quite staggering.
However, the reserves of Qiang element on land are scarce, and the axillary people cannot mine it in large quantities, and the difficulty of purification and extraction of Qiang element is not lower than that of key element, so the technical and economic cost is also very high.
The second is to make a bomb of this configuration, there is a technical problem, the key element and the cathode and anode magnets are repulsive, but it is necessary to keep the key element and the anode magnet in a paramagnetic state, so it is necessary to use a special tank made of pure lanthanum rare earth, and the key element is placed in it to be slowly demagnetized, and this process takes several months to a year.
However, the excavation and collection of rare earth lanthanum is extremely difficult, and at the same time, the melting point is higher than that of tungsten, and it is produced in large quantities from the industrial base of the axillary people, and the economic cost of lanthanum is very high
Finally, with the current industrial technology foundation and scientific path, only mercury can be used as an oscillating and stabilizing medium to further intensify this energy reaction process, and mercury itself is not conducive to the stability and safety of this configuration.
Therefore, it is necessary to use a passivator to make the mercury more stable without affecting the action of the mercury, and this passivator is a lithium compound, a rare earth that adsorbs electricity. ”
"After you laugh, can this kind of advanced physical theory be explored with their current understanding, and can they have this industrial base! They don't even have electricity, they still use steam engines. ”
"Of course, as long as you discover the relationship between the key element and the strong magnetism, you will open another door to physics, and it is clear that your technological path still continues the cognitive model of your previous life, advocating nuclear weapons.
The Armpitary Humans, on the other hand, have discovered the enormous potential of the Keyelement, so they have studied it extensively, and with their intelligence, they should theoretically be able to surpass their current industrial understanding.
As for whether the industrial processing capacity is advanced or not, the development of the productive forces of all civilizations requires a process of accumulation, and the length of this process depends on the intelligence factor, and the level of intelligence determines the speed of the development of the productive forces.
However, the process of accumulation and development from the elementary to the advanced level cannot be developed by leaps and bounds without accidents, so although they are still in the late age of the steam engine, their intelligence allows them to enjoy the mechanical processing capabilities of the late Second Industrial Revolution and the physical theories of the early stage of the Third Industrial Revolution.
Bombs of this configuration can be produced by ordinary precision processing plants, and do not require the precision equipment and advanced theories required for nuclear bombs, so they are not directly related to the driving power and processing equipment. ”
"Then why are they developing chemistry so slowly, is this normal?"
"You yourself have said that early chemistry was full of chances, and that it is only by finding universal laws in countless accidents that it becomes a truly systematic science. As for the chemistry you are talking about, it should be a chivalrous concept. If widely recognized, the development of chemistry is constrained by minerals and all kinds of situational resources.
If smokeless safety gunpowder needs cotton, if they don't have cotton, it is naturally difficult to develop nitrocellulose. If there were no rubber products, they would not have been able to study car tires, right, and there would be great restrictions on the use of electricity.
Even so far, there has been no sign of large-scale use of bitumen, which means that there are very few oil, especially superficial oil reserves in the northern hemisphere, and if they have not found oil, where do they study gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other chemical raw materials. ”
"Well, since they can make it, can Yongxing City make it?"
"Yes, but it's expensive."
"How much does that cost?"
"With the current state of technology, it is impossible for you and the axillary people to use the most cost-effective means of industrial production to obtain absolutely pure key elements and iron elements, and at the same time need to consume a lot of energy gold and platinum to do so.
I've calculated for you, with the current industrial capacity of Yongxing City, it will cost at least 1.5 million inches of silver to make a cannonball that may explode at any time. ”
"What are you kidding, one shell costs one and a half million silver!"
"Once gold and platinum are involved in the purification process of the key elements, they become non-recyclable wastewater solutions with current technology, which is extremely costly and wasteful. Therefore, with such a shell, it is almost impossible to have a second shot in a short time. ”
"And what is the radius of destruction of such a shell?"
"The current technical constraints dictate that only mercury can be used as an oscillating stabilization medium, so the more powerful the bomb, the larger the diameter and length of the key rod, and the volume of mercury required will increase exponentially.
Therefore, it is necessary to be easy to launch, but also relatively safe and stable, and the shell currently fired is theoretically the maximum yield, and if the power level is increased by one level, the diameter of the projectile will exceed 1,200 millimeters.
At present, the radius of action of this bomb is about five to six miles, and the core temperature within this range rises to about 900 to 1,000 degrees, the temperature at the edge is 80 degrees, and the shock wave spreads within a radius of 15 miles. ”
"One and a half million silver, just build such a bomb with a killing radius of only five or six miles, they have a sick brain!"
"From your cognitive and mental standpoint, it may be problematic to compare the power of nuclear weapons, but from the standpoint of armpit thinking, they will still bomb the densely populated capital, killing tens of thousands of people at a time, which is obviously cost-effective.
If it is used in traditional formation field battles, within a radius of ten miles in diameter, it is basically the range of the main force of field warfare, and it is still very cost-effective to destroy the main army of tens of thousands of people without spending a single shot. ”
