Chapter 492: A New Type of Missile
"This information about the North Wind supercomputer is very valuable!"
After taking a moment to go through the information about the Beifeng-level supercomputer stolen by AI-001 again, Sun Cheng closed the folder with satisfaction.
A good thing like a supercomputer can be called a great power weapon in any world.
His next series of actions will require a huge amount of computing power, so it is imperative to assemble a supercomputer.
The first harvest of AI-001 was so precious, but Sun Cheng's interest in the other data it stole was aroused.
It's a pity that he soon found out that he was thinking too much.
The data of the Beifeng-level supercomputer that was put in the first place after being sorted out by revenge is undoubtedly the biggest gain of AI-001 in the invasion of the Nandu Supercomputer Center.
Some of the other documents are basically test data on the power and performance of weapons carried out by the military using the powerful computing power of the Beifeng-level supercomputer.
After Sun Cheng read the test data, he found that most of these weapons were not much more powerful than some American-made and Russian-style weapons he had mastered in the [Transformers Universe], and even some of them still had a considerable gap in performance, which was useless to him.
Of course, some of them still have reference value.
For example, the Beifeng-class supercomputer once provided a lot of testing and data verification work for a new type of missile that has not yet been finalized by the military, and this new type of missile made Sun Cheng very interested.
As we all know, nuclear weapons should be the most powerful weapons created by human civilization, using the huge energy released by the instantaneous release of atomic nuclear fission or fusion reactions, which can change the surface environment and destroy the regional ecology in an instant, thermal shock, and continuous nuclear radiation, and even completely wipe out life in a region.
With the continuous development of science and technology, mankind has become more aware of the limitations of nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons are a sword of Damocles, and no one would dare to grow mushrooms in war unless all the politicians have their heads watered.
During the Cold War, nuclear physicists proposed a new type of nuclear weapon, the cobalt bomb, in which a layer of cobalt-59 was wrapped around the traditional nuclear bomb, and the neutrons emitted by the nuclear bomb explosion hit the cobalt-59 to turn it into cobalt-60, and the rays produced by the decay of cobalt-60 can completely destroy the DNA of living organisms and cause them to die in a large area in a short period of time.
This kind of nuclear weapon, which only exists in the imagination, only needs to detonate one in the stratosphere, and it does not even need to have a yield like [Tsar Bomba], which is enough to spread radiation throughout the earth's atmosphere, so that all life on the earth will be wiped out in a short period of time.
Cobalt bombs can indeed be made theoretically.
However, this kind of weapon, which is enough to wipe out the entire surface biological system, was resisted by the entire scientific community soon after the theory was born, and also made many nuclear countries, including the United States and the Soviet Union, jealous, and finally did not allow this evil weapon to be born.
Over the past few decades, the risk of another World War III has gradually diminished, replaced by an intensifying regional conflict between major powers.
Therefore, all kinds of new weapons that are no less powerful than nuclear weapons, which do not pose a threat to the earth's ecological environment and can bypass the 'nuclear control agreement', especially various conventional missiles, have become the focus of research of various countries.
The missile test data found by AI-001 on the Beifeng-class supercomputer is a new type of cluster bomb being developed by the military.
The so-called cluster bomb refers to the loading of several to hundreds of small bombs in a large bomb body, each small bomb is called a submunition, so it is also called a sub-bomb.
Cluster bombs are generally mostly air-launched ground-to-ground missiles, which can be decomposed in the air after being projected in the target area by attack aircraft, multi-role fighters or bombers, and cause regional damage by dispersing submunitions to a wide range of ground, using their quantitative characteristics to increase the coverage area and killing range, and are generally used to hit ground cluster tanks, armored combat vehicles, troop stations and other cluster targets, or large-area targets such as airport runways, and have a strong destructive ability.
In the [Transformers Universe], because the main research team of Base 2 is also conducting in-depth research on missiles, compared to other materials, this unexpected acquisition is more popular with Sun Cheng.
The new cluster bomb, designed and tested by the military, was specifically designed for the Soviet Union.
In the real world, the Soviet Union did not disintegrate in 1991 like in the [Transformers Universe] because of the difference in the world line, but still stood on the Eurasian continent and deterred the world.
Because of the blood feud between China and Russia during the Tsarist Russia period, since the Xinhai Revolution, China and Russia in the real world have been in a hostile relationship with China and the Soviet Union.
From Northeast Asia to Central Asia, the two countries have deployed millions of troops against each other on a border spanning tens of thousands of miles, and the border conflict has lasted for hundreds of years.
Like China, the Soviet Union was a traditional army power, with tens of thousands of ground combat tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery of all kinds.
To face such an adversary, the military's need for cluster bombs has always been very large.
AI-001 This time, in the Beifeng-level supercomputer, the new missile designed by the military's subordinate laboratory was discovered, and it was tentatively named 'ground multi-point precision attack bomb' within the military, which is strictly a kind of cluster bomb, but it is not exactly the same.
It adopts the design concept of cluster bombs, and redesigns it with precision-guided bombs, which is quite eye-catching even in Sun Cheng's view.
Because of the huge size of traditional cluster bombs, ordinary fighter jets can basically only be plugged in a small amount, and they mainly need to be delivered by bombers.
At the beginning of its design, the military was required to be a ground bombing missile that could be equipped with a large number of fighter jets.
Therefore, in addition to the miniaturization of its size, the new high-explosive charge is used to make up for the lack of explosive power of the submunition, and some design concepts of precision-guided bombs are also borrowed to try to improve the strike accuracy of the submunitions.
This is undoubtedly a very correct development direction, although there are many problems in the process of military development and testing.
For example, all kinds of high-explosive charges existing in China cannot solve the problem of the power of new missiles declining after the volume is reduced.
The most difficult thing is to improve the accuracy of submunitions, and it is not easy to improve the accuracy of missiles, not to mention that the military's requirements still cannot improve the accuracy of fist-sized submunitions.
The military-affiliated laboratory responsible for developing the new missile had to develop and design a series of solutions, from developing new explosives, to using fluid mechanics to redesign the appearance of submunitions, to contacting other laboratories to design a new precise positioning system for the new missile, and so on.
Among them, because a large amount of computing power is required, the Beifeng-level supercomputer placed in the Nandu Supercomputing Center under the military will leave the test and research and development data of the new missile.
