Chapter 868: The sinking of the continent is actually a major infrastructure project

The "SEKO Continental Plate Sinking Plan" continues to advance and has reached the demonstration stage.

The main content of the argument is what method can be used to destroy the three supporting arms of the Cross plate.

The front-line headquarters specially transferred Fang Yuan over to participate in this demonstration meeting.

The reason why Fang Yuan was allowed to participate in this demonstration meeting was very simple.

Because if you want to blast and destroy the support arm of the continental plate, then there is no doubt that the only possibility is to use a nuclear bomb.

As the only super soldier with a single nuclear arsenal, how could Fang Yuan not participate in this kind of argumentation meeting?

"The average depth of the three support arms of the Cross plate against the SECCO plate is 10 kilometers, and the average width is 170 kilometers, which has exceeded all the blasting projects that have been tried, so we are not sure about the blasting effect." The team responsible for the demonstration of the blasting effect is really bottomless.

Although it is an infrastructure maniac, at most it is to dig a tunnel and explode a mountain, who has sunk a continental plate.

"It doesn't matter, you can calculate the explosion power required for this blasting project based on your previous blasting experience." Admiral Rhodes calmed the demolition team's nerves before asking about the calculations.

In ordinary blasting engineering, there are professional theories about how much explosives should be used and where to bury them.

Calculations based on experience and data, enlarging the blasting target onto the support arm of a continental plate can indeed calculate a value.

It's just that this final calculated value is an astronomical number, and this kind of value has never appeared in the infrastructure, so no one knows the bottom of their hearts.

After several days and nights of analysis and calculation, Zhou Wensheng and the entire planning team finally came to a conclusion: "This is the placement map of the blasting point, the No. 1 plate support arm, and the explosives need to be placed in these three positions."

"The power of explosives...... A single point requires 1×10^17 joules of energy, which is calculated according to the data model of blasting. It has not yet been used in such a large project, so it is only a basic theoretical value. ”

Fang Yuan quickly calculated and said, "Good guy, 24 million equivalent, half a big Ivan." ”

The largest yield hydrogen bomb ever tested by humans was made by a hairy bear.

The hairy bear was really irritable, and originally wanted to test the entire 170 million equivalent, but he was worried that there would be no place to test the explosion, so he cut it down, and finally tested the power of 50 million tons of equivalent.

Considering the power of 50 million yields, the explosion power of a hydrogen bomb of this level covers a range of 40 kilometers, and the height of the mushroom cloud is 64 kilometers.

An air explosion can cause a magnitude 5 earthquake on the ground, which is the result of an air explosion, and if it explodes underground, it can cause an earthquake of magnitude 7 to 7.5.

A hydrogen bomb of this level is terrifying as you can imagine.

On the planet of Star Beasts, there are of course more than three "support arms" of the Cross plate against the Saiko plate.

However, in blasting engineering, it is not necessary to place explosives in all locations, only the most critical locations need to be selected to place explosives.

Therefore, in the plan for the sinking of the entire continental plate, there are three "plate support arms" that need to be destroyed.

The average width of the three arms is 170 km, while the power range of a 50 million yield nuclear bomb can reach 40 km.

Half of the equivalent also has 30 kilometers.

If a hydrogen bomb with a yield of 24 million tons is placed in three positions of the support arm, it can theoretically indeed destroy the 170-kilometer-wide continental plate support arm.

The values given by the research team are rigorous, and the calculated conclusion is 24 million tons of equivalent, and each support arm needs 3, for a total of 9.

However, as an army general, many times, you don't need to be so rigorous, you need to be foolproof.

Admiral Rhodes thought about it and said: "For the record, the yield of the nine blasting nuclear bombs was all pulled to 50 million tons. ”

It was directly doubled, which is really not rigorous if it is placed on scientific research, but when it is placed in war, it is very bold.

Doesn't it mean that there are no examples to demonstrate?

Doesn't it mean that there is no guarantee that the blasting will be successful?

That's fine, the blast yield will directly double you.

If it's playing like this on Earth, it's definitely not going to work.

What the?

Engage in it on the planet Star Beast?

That's fine.

9 nuclear bombs with a yield of 50 million tons, this consumption is a bit exaggerated.

Although mankind has tested and exploded a nuclear bomb with a yield of 50 million tons, it is not so simple to really come up with nine such big guys in a short period of time.

Most of the nuclear bombs used by the human army in peacetime have a yield of 500,000 tons, and if they are larger, that is, 1 million tons of yield, the standing large yield of the army is 5 million tons of yield.

More than 5 million tons of equivalent, it will only be available under special circumstances.

As a result, the yield of the nuclear bomb to be used in this program is equivalent to 90 times the maximum yield of the army's standing nuclear bomb.

"Admiral, I'm afraid we won't be able to make so many high-yield nuclear bombs in a short period of time." A military staff officer reminded.

"From the planetary defense nuclear arsenal."

Admiral Rhodes made a decision directly, but it was a slightly unruly decision.

Because of the planetary defense nuclear arsenal, it is currently only available for the Beast Guard's one-day base cannon.

In principle, the planetary defense nuclear arsenal belongs to all mankind, and all the allies of the human alliance have the right to regulate the planetary defense nuclear arsenal.

Of course, in principle, there is nothing wrong with having regulatory powers.

However, the Beast Guard Day-based Giant Artillery Base is not accessible to everyone.

Therefore, the planetary defense nuclear arsenal is basically under the control of the East China Sea Space Fleet, and at least the nuclear bombs delivered to the Beast Guard I, the other allies will not be able to reach out.

"This ...... A total of 45,000 yields of nuclear bombs is already more than the existing yield of planetary defense nuclear arsenals. Moreover, if there are so many withdrawals at once, I am afraid that there will be problems. Moreover, even if some of them are withdrawn, it is still not enough. The military staff officer reminded again.

It's not just a matter of the stockpiles of nuclear bombs.

Due to the recent months, White Eagle and other countries have been keen to negotiate peace with the Star Beast civilization represented by Ralph Cook.

The refusal to deliver nuclear bombs to the planetary defense nuclear arsenal has already begun.

Because, the planetary defense nuclear arsenal was originally to provide nuclear bombs to the Beast Guard's day-based cannon to clean up the Star Beast Planet's ground brood.

Now that they have all negotiated peace, there may be a truce, and White Eagle and other countries naturally do not want to provide nuclear bombs anymore.

After all, for White Eagle and other countries, what is punched out is a pile of banknotes.

Therefore, it is really not enough to pump nuclear bombs from the nuclear arsenal of planetary defense.

It is also impossible to empty all the nuclear bomb reserves in the army, and it is necessary to ensure the minimum nuclear bomb reserves required in wartime, otherwise once a war starts, there will be no nuclear bombs available, resulting in defeat in the war, and then it will be a major mistake to withdraw nuclear bombs.

After pondering for a long time, Admiral Rhodes said: "Submit an application to the headquarters, and the solar furnace delivered to Mao Xiong in the next stage will be settled with a large-yield nuclear bomb. ”
