Chapter 748: Source

During the supper, Wang Dong asked Lei Dong about Xie Chuyue's situation.

More than 10 days ago, Xie Chuyue woke up, and Lei Dong and others went to see him at that time, but the situation was not very good, and Xie Chuyue seemed to have lost all his memory.

Because of the special situation, the Military Intelligence Agency has always taken special care of him, to be precise, in solitary confinement.

As for when he will be released, it depends on his recovery, that is, whether he can recover his memory.

Wang Dong was very emotional, feeling that he had hurt Xie Chuyue.

This made Lei Dong feel a little uncomfortable, after all, it was a personal voluntarily to follow Wang Dong, and the trip to Angola was also proposed by Xie Chuyue himself.

As for the war in Angola, it is still going on, and the devil knows when it will end.

In fact, Lei Dong felt that he could have given up Angola a long time ago, after all, there was nothing worth fighting over there, but Yunlong thought that he could not withdraw his troops from Angola for the time being, and he had to make long-term plans, so he let the main force stay in Angola and continue to fight against the South African army and mercenaries.

When Zhang Zilan came back to change shifts with Lei Dong, Yunlong called.

"We've received information that Emily has a good chance of getting a nuclear warhead, at least one, and most likely a tactical nuclear warhead with a maximum explosive yield of about 200,000 tons. In addition, it is highly likely that this nuclear warhead is related to Israel. ”

"Israel?"

Yunlong didn't talk much nonsense, and let Nicholas explain the situation.

All countries that admit to having nuclear weapons, including Huaxia, have strict management systems, and all nuclear warheads can be detected.

To be precise, it is the nuclear materials used in all nuclear warheads that have "traces of identity".

What the?

The proportion of isotopes of nuclear raw materials to the elements produced after the decay of isotopes.

In this way, if a nuclear warhead of any country explodes, it is possible to calculate the time of production of nuclear materials by the proportion of these elements contained in the radioactive fallout, and thus deduce the origin of these nuclear materials, that is, from which country.

In fact, even North Korea is no exception.

Why?

In fact, North Korea's nuclear material production has always been under the surveillance of China and US intelligence agencies, and at least there is a relatively accurate production time.

In addition, the DPRK conducted several nuclear tests.

The trace amounts of radioactive fallout obtained from these nuclear tests can be used to make a rough guess about North Korea's production of nuclear materials, or more precisely, the timing and production of nuclear materials, and if there is another nuclear explosion, it will be possible to determine whether it is a nuclear warhead from North Korea by comparison.

It can be said that this supervision system has been perfected for a long time and has been in operation for decades.

During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union conducted thousands of nuclear tests, and each time they used this method to make a rough judgment on the production time of nuclear materials, so as to deduce the amount of nuclear materials possessed by the experimental country, and then roughly estimate the number of nuclear warheads possessed by the testing country.

Thousands of times, not a single mistake.

Later, Pakistan and India conducted nuclear tests, and other countries also deduced the origin of nuclear materials in this way.

Since then, the nuclear tests of Pakistan and India have also been used to estimate the rate of production of nuclear materials, or more precisely the production capacity of the two countries, and thus the size of the nuclear arsenals of the two countries and the rate of increase in nuclear weapons have been made relatively clear and can be used as a basis.

There are always exceptions, though.

Israel is an exception.

Historically, Israel has conducted only one nuclear test, and it was on an island in the southern Indian Ocean, alongside South Africa, which was still in white power at the time.

Since then, South Africa has voluntarily renounced its nuclear weapons and handed over the few nuclear warheads it had preserved.

It is on the basis of the decay of these nuclear warheads, or more precisely the nuclear materials contained in them, that the international community has made a rough guess about Israel's nuclear capabilities.

Already at the end of the last century, Israel had at least 50 nuclear warheads.

Although they are all fission bombs with low power, and there are no powerful hydrogen bombs, 50 nuclear warheads are enough to pose a deadly threat to neighboring Arab countries.

After that, Israel's ability to "live in peace" with neighboring Arab countries for decades has a lot to do with this.

So, does Israel have a hydrogen bomb?

From a technical point of view, Israel definitely has the ability to produce and manufacture hydrogen bombs and miniaturize warheads, at least to be able to be mounted on cruise missiles, or to make nuclear bombs that can be carried by fighter jets, with limited actual combat capabilities, and the power will not be too small.

Why?

Israel has no shortage of nuclear weapons specialists, nor does it lack supercomputers.

You must know that after the complete ban on nuclear testing, the five nuclear powers used supercomputers to simulate nuclear explosions, relying on the data calculated by the simulations to design and improve nuclear warheads.

What experimental data do you need for simulation calculations?

Obviously, Israel's relations with the United States are so good that it will certainly not be difficult to obtain some data from the United States.

It is precisely for this reason that the outside world has always believed that Israel has a hydrogen bomb, at least an enhanced atomic bomb, and the maximum explosive power is about 200,000 tons.

So, how many nuclear warheads does Israel have?

Obviously, that's the problem.

Since that nuclear test in the southern Indian Ocean, Israel has not conducted any further nuclear tests and has never even admitted to possessing nuclear weapons.

Nuclear raw materials?

Israel has several experimental nuclear reactors, but it has long been believed that Israel has secret reactors dedicated to the production of nuclear materials.

What's more, it is very likely that this secret reactor has been working, that is, has been producing plutonium.

Although the production is not too large, the plutonium produced in the past few decades is enough for Israel to build at least 200 nuclear warheads.

Here, there is an extremely serious problem.

Due to the lack of comparable data and the fact that Israel has been producing nuclear materials, it is impossible to conclude that the nuclear materials must have come from Israel through the radioactive fallout produced by the nuclear explosion, and the possibility that the nuclear materials were produced by North Korea cannot be ruled out.

To put it simply, in the event of a nuclear explosion, the U.S. authorities will certainly insist that the source of the nuclear materials is from North Korea, because it is impossible to determine the origin of the nuclear materials.

It is precisely because of this that Yunlong clearly mentioned that the nuclear warhead in Emily's hand is likely to come from Israel.

In fact, if given a choice, Emily would first consider using Israeli nuclear warheads.

French nuclear warheads?

Obviously, as long as it is detonated, it will be known that the nuclear warhead is from France, and it will not be possible to blame North Korea.

Here, Yunlong also provided a piece of key information that had been sealed in the dust for decades, had never been released before, and no one knew about it.
