Chapter 573: Nuclear Suitcase
"After you read this plan, you are not allowed to reveal a word. Only the three of us know. Chen Shao said.
At this moment, Wang Jie knocked on the door and came in, still holding a white box in his hand. The outer shell of the box is made of alloy, which looks like it is not small.
When he heard a knock on the door, Zhongli had already closed the papers. The two looked at each other, then remained silent. They weren't fools, and they knew exactly what a shock it would be if the plan were to get out. I am afraid that many unnecessary incidents will also occur.
"Your Majesty, this is a finished product sent by the 741 research project team, and it can be used at any time." Wang Jie put the box in front of Chen Shao, and did not shy away from Wei Ren and Zhong Li, and spoke. He didn't say what was inside the box. Because even he didn't know what it was. If you give it to him, he won't be able to open this box. Chen Shao alone knows the password for unpacking.
"Hmm!" Chen Shao took the box, and then said to Wei Ren and Zhongli: "After you two finish reading the documents, send them to the imperial study." ”
"Yes!"
After Chen Shao finished speaking, he turned around and left here, walking straight towards the imperial study. And Wang Jie, who came out with him, went to the other side, and he still had his own work to do.
Chen Shao, who entered the imperial study, was behind the guards closing the door of the imperial study. I couldn't wait to come to the table in the imperial study, and the box was laid flat on the table. Then he pulled out a strangely shaped key and inserted it into a keyhole next to the handle of the box.
Turn the key and a number key pops up next to the keyhole. Chen Shao skillfully entered an eleven-digit password.
"The password is correct, and the unlock is complete." box. An electronic synthesis sound is emitted.
Chen Shao immediately pulled out the key, and waited for the number key to retract into the box again. He immediately opened the box.
Soon, the situation inside the box fell into Chen Shao's eyes. A small monitor stood in front of Chen Shao's eyes with the lid of the box. Underneath the lid, there are several red buttons. One of the buttons, also covered with a transparent glass lid.
Nuclear bomb launch box. This is something that many people think is a new term, but it is not a strange thing among the nuclear-weapon States of the twenty-first century. Because every country has it, and it is in the hands of the number one person in the nuclear-weapon states.
The nuclear suitcase of the United States in later generations was a state secret. It is a black leather case made of titanium. Weighs 18 kg. Equipped with a combination lock. The president's special assistant on duty put the bracelet of the box on his wrist and kept him on the box, and a total of five full-time assistants took turns on duty. They are heavily armed and have the right to shoot without warning. Stay by the president's side at all times. Therefore, the assistant in charge of the nuclear suitcase always stands or sits next to the president. Fly with the President on special planes, helicopters and cars. Like the shadow of the president.
Russia has three nuclear suitcases, which are in the hands of the president, the minister of defense and the chief of staff. When launching a nuclear attack, it is not necessary to press 3 buttons at the same time. Generally, only the president and the secretary of defense are sufficient. The launch procedure adopts a "dual nuclear button system", that is, each stage has two sets of passwords, and only when the two sets of passwords are accurately put together and the command is conveyed step by step, can the nuclear missile be finally launched. There will never be a situation in the movie where a nuclear bomb is launched by stealing the president's nuclear suitcase
The President of the United States must verify his identity by means of a special golden code card with a private presidential code consisting of numbers and letters, which is an order for those responsible for activating the missile launch button on silos and submarines. Clinton once lost the password card, which is the most important for national security
The President and the Minister of Defense took out the code in the suitcase of their respective nuclear buttons and sent it to the War Department of the General Staff at the same time. The Ministry's Special Communications Center immediately mixed them into a new set of ciphers.
Then, through special communication frequencies, it is transmitted to the central command posts of the various arms of the armed forces possessing strategic nuclear weapons, then to the units on strategic duty, and finally to each launch pad, including missile bases, nuclear submarines, and strategic bombers.
Commanders at all levels immediately check the code in their custody after receiving the instruction on the code for launching a nuclear missile. Each commander and his deputy each held half of the code, and after combining it, they checked it with the code sent by the Supreme Command, and after confirming that it was correct, they took out the keys stored on each of them and activated the firing device.
The suitcase in front of Chen Shao is the nuclear suitcase of China at this time. The nuclear weapons in the hands of the Second Artillery Corps were given the nuclear bomb launch orders from this suitcase.
And this suitcase is not made by China itself. Rather, it is attached to the nuclear bomb silo. It is mainly a tool for controlling nuclear bomb silos. Of course, it is also possible to control other self-built nuclear weapons.
Wang Jie's so-called 741 Research Institute is actually a secret department that connects this nuclear suitcase with the Second Artillery Corps' nuclear missile unit.
Although China has successfully conducted nuclear tests in the decade of ZTE. However, at that time, nuclear bombs were very large, and they also needed to be carried and delivered by large aircraft in order to form a real combat capability.
Five years have passed, and there has been a good breakthrough in the miniaturization of nuclear weapons, and there is finally an opportunity to officially place nuclear weapons on self-produced missiles. The nuclear suitcase also has a place for official play. And this box will always be in the hands of the emperor of the Chinese Empire.
Of course, the miniaturization of nuclear bombs is fraught with difficulties, and so far, China has only been able to miniaturize some nuclear bombs with a yield of 10,000 tons. As for nuclear bombs of hundreds of thousands of tons and nuclear bombs of millions of tons, there is no way to miniaturize them to the point where they can be carried by missiles.
This doesn't include the nukes in the Red Alert silo, because that's a big guy. As for the hydrogen bomb, it is more difficult to miniaturize it than an ordinary fission nuclear bomb. At present, only Globemaster can carry such a big guy, and the Djinn God has to stand aside.
The development of nuclear weapons and the successful use of nuclear weapons are two different concepts. Even if you were able to build a nuclear bomb, you would have successfully conducted a nuclear test. But it also needs a delivery vehicle to put nuclear weapons on the battlefield or on the territory of an enemy country to strike strategic targets in depth.
Of course, you can also use a nuclear bomb as a mine, put it in a fixed place, and wait for a large number of enemies to approach before detonating the nuclear bomb. It's just that this kind of approach can only say "Hehe! ”
The nuclear suitcase in Chen Shao's hand can directly command the soldiers in the nuclear bomb silo to launch the nuclear bomb, and he can also directly order every land-based nuclear bomb launch base to launch the nuclear bomb. Of course, there is a very important step in this, and in the Ministry of Defense, there is also such a box. When two chests are used at the same time, the effect can be officially brought into play.
And this box also has a really important ability, and the cancellation of the nuclear bomb detonation is controlled by this box. When the nuclear bomb starts to take off, the nuclear bomb detonation is already on, and it will be detonated as soon as it reaches the target. And during this period, it is also possible to turn off the nuclear bomb detonator with a launch box. In this way, even if a nuclear bomb falls to the ground, the nuclear bomb will not explode. Because the explosives that detonated the nuclear bomb inside did not explode, the nuclear material inside the nuclear bomb would not have been squeezed, and naturally it would not have exploded.
The atomic bomb made by the principle of fission reaction, the charge is uranium-235 and its isotopes, and the critical mass must be reached to cause a chain reaction to cause an explosion, so in the atomic bomb, the charge is divided into several parts, each part is close to the critical mass, the outer layer is wrapped with ordinary explosives, and when detonated, the outer layer of ordinary explosives is first detonated, the barrier between the nuclear charges is destroyed, and several parts of the nuclear charges are quickly and tightly pressed together, so that the mass of the nuclear charge exceeds the critical mass, An uncontrollable chain reaction can be created that leads to the explosion of the nuclear charge.
As for the hydrogen bomb, the hydrogen bomb made by the fusion reaction, its charge can be deuterium and tritium, or lithium deuteride6, these substances are called thermonuclear materials, there is no limit to critical mass, but thermonuclear reactions can only be carried out at extremely high temperatures (tens of millions of degrees), and such high temperatures can only be produced when the atomic bomb explodes, so the hydrogen bomb must use the atomic bomb as a "detonator" to ignite the thermonuclear material.
If nuclear bombs use impact fuses like ordinary artillery shells, it is estimated that few countries will dare to produce nuclear weapons in large quantities.
The core control of the nuclear suitcase is the detonating device inside the nuclear bomb, which is the key. A nuclear bomb that doesn't explode is just a big iron ball.
Just as Chen Shao was checking the nuclear suitcase, there was a knock on the door outside. When Chen Shao safely put away the nuclear suitcase, he let the people outside in.
"Come in."
Xia Mengyu and Wang Xiaoshan came together. Seeing the figures of the two, Chen Shao immediately spoke: "Is there any news from the assassination team?" ”
Xia Mengyu and Wang Xiaoshan glanced at each other with heavy expressions, and finally Wang Xiaoshan spoke: "Your Majesty, there has been a new development in things. Akira Muto was assassinated, and while Akira Muto was inspecting the troops, he was sniped with a sniper rifle. The bullet is a 5.8mm modified dummmm. It's our people who can be sure. ”
"Oh, so the assassination team is still safe and sound, and successfully sniped Muto Akira?" Chen Shao was suddenly overjoyed, but Chen Shao didn't see the heavy faces of the two.
"Not really!" Seeing Chen Shao's somewhat excited expression, Xia Mengyu whispered: "Muto Zhang is not wrong to die, but the assassination team is also finished." ”
"What!" Hearing Xia Mengyu's words, Chen Shao's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but speak: "What is the situation?" ”
"Here's the thing,......, Muto Akira is dead, the Blue Flower Special Attack Team is also wiped out, and our assassination team is all sacrificed except for the captain Ghost Thorn, who is missing." Xia Mengyu reported the situation in detail.
"Bastard!" Chen Shao couldn't help but scold, and said, "What's the matter with the ghost thorn being nowhere to be found?" ”
"......, the devil claims to have wiped out all the assassins, but according to the intelligence, the ghost stab jumped off the cliff at the last moment, and his life and death are unknown."
"Immediately order the Southeast Asian theater of operations, and as soon as the landing operation is ready, it will begin immediately." In the imperial study, Chen Shao's cold words came. (To be continued......)
