The international fleet finally broke through the interception of the insect planes, and the nuclear bombs that hit the insect swarm also played their due role, but the aliens didn't care about the loss of the insect swarm at all, and the remaining insect planes did not flinch, and still pounced on the international fleet at full speed.

As the battle continued, shells and missiles intertwined with thin lights, the occasional missile that penetrated through the interceptor swarm, and finally there was bound to be a flash of bright light that no one could ignore.

It may be that the international fleet controlled the number of artillery-launched missiles, and a large number of missiles broke through and intercepted again.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is still thousands of kilometers, and this voyage is gradually chaotic because of the full speed sprint of the worm plane, but there is still a period of time before direct contact, if nothing else, the battle situation will not change in a short time, but everyone is looking forward to the further development of the situation.

Another nuclear bomb exploded in the swarm, and the bright light of the explosion fell into Huo Qiang's eyes, and the intensity was obviously not as strong as the previous nuclear bombs.

The corners of Huo Qiang's eyes jumped slightly, and he instantly understood the key: "Chief of Staff, how many neutron bombs do we have?" ”

Wu Han was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Commander, do you mean that it was a neutron bomb that exploded just now?" ”

Huo Qiang nodded: "Eight. Nine is not far from ten. ”

Zhuang Bodao: "In the current situation, the bomb is indeed a solution. As he spoke, his gaze fell on Wu Han.

When an ordinary nuclear bomb explodes in space, its lethality is mainly concentrated in light radiation, and it is indeed a little insufficient in the current situation.

But the neutron bomb is different, this thing relies on a fast neutron stream to kill the target, which is more suitable for the current special environment than ordinary nuclear bombs.

Wu Han immediately called up the virtual screen, and his fingers seemed to be filled with a spring: "A total of two hundred and forty!" ”

"So little?" Zhuang Bo couldn't believe his ears.

Wu Han said: "It's good to have these, the above didn't plan to match us with neutral bullets from the beginning!" ”

Zhuang Bo was not calm at this time: "I understand that we are not equipped with neutron bombs, but where did these neutron bombs come from?" ”

The fleet's mission this time is to hit Jupiter, so the nuclear bombs equipped by the fleet are polarized, either super-large yield or ultra-low yield.

Let's talk about super-large yield nuclear bombs first, these nuclear bombs are specially prepared by the military to deal with satellites entrenched by aliens, how heavy are they? To put it simply, 50 million tons of equivalent is just the beginning, 100 million tons is ordinary, 150 million tons is nothing, and 200 million tons or more is the main force.

According to the military's calculations, the explosion of a 200-million-ton nuclear bomb on a satellite will have a devastating impact on the geological structure of the explosion area.

As for the ultra-low yield, there is nothing to say, no matter how ordinary tactical nuclear weapons are, regardless of missiles or artillery shells, all weapons that can use nuclear warheads are equipped with miniature nuclear warheads.

This thing is the main anti-ship force of the human fleet, and as long as the alien warship is hit by a nuclear bomb, it will lose at least a quarter of its hull, which is the largest number of nuclear bombs in the fleet and the most frequently used.

Zhuang Bo knew very well the origin of these two nuclear bombs, but he had never heard that the fleet was equipped with neutron bombs.

Wu Han explained: "That's right, when the fleet set off, all the stocks were removed, and the battleships were not filled, and later a batch of nuclear weapons were transferred from the ground, including this batch of neutron bombs. ”

Zhuang Bo suddenly said: "Understood!" ”

I really understand, but there are only two hundred and forty in total, which looks like a lot, but there are more than fifty capital ships in the entire fleet, and on average, one battleship can be divided into a little more than four.

Nuclear bombs have long been a conventional weapon against aliens, and dozens of them can be thrown in a casual battle, and four neutron bombs are too few to make much difference.

Huo Qiang also thought of this, he was silent for a while, and said faintly: "Can you change the super nuclear bomb?" ”

Wu Han thought for a while and said, "It's difficult, the time is too short, and the remaining time is less than an hour." ”

"Then you have to give it a try, arrange it, and let the technicians hurry up and see if they can change a few of them, even if it's only one."

"Understood!" Wu Han immediately conveyed Huo Qiang's meaning.

Zhuang Bo on the side waited for Wu Han to finish his busy work before he asked with a puzzled expression: "Commander, chief of staff, why can't I understand what you are saying?" ”

Huo Qiang was not in the mood for common sense, so he directly ordered Wu Han's general: "Chief of Staff, you can explain." ”

"Yes!" Wu Han cleared his throat, "Deputy Commander Zhuang, I have to ask a question first, do you know about nuclear bombs?" ”

Zhuang Bo said: "Know a little bit about the skin, know hydrogen. The power of the bullet is greater than that of the original. The bullet is big. ”

"Structure or something......

"I didn't understand."

"Understood." Wu Han nodded, "That's right, the nuclear charge is uranium or plutonium. Bullet; Original. Bullet plus hydrogen lithium is a hydrogen bomb, also called a biphasic bomb; A layer of depleted uranium was added to the outside of the duplex bomb to make a shell...... Well, this thing itself does not fission, but when worn on the outside of a biphasic bomb, the high-energy neutrons produced by fusion can allow this uranium-238 to participate in fission, release more energy, and greatly increase the power of the nuclear bomb...... The large-yield nuclear bombs we are equipped with are all three-phase bombs. ”

Zhuang Bo looked clear, nodded and said, "And then?" ”

Wu Han said: "If the depleted uranium shell is removed, there will be nothing to block the high-energy neutrons produced by fusion, and it will become a neutron bomb...... Of course, this is just a principle, in fact, it is not that simple. ”

Zhuang Bo suddenly realized: "Understood, what did you mean just now to dismantle the depleted uranium shell of the super nuclear bomb and turn the super nuclear bomb into a neutron bomb?" ”

"That's what it means." Wu Han said.

Zhuang Bo said again: "If I'm not mistaken, the yield of the neutron bomb is not too large, right?" "Neutron bombs mainly rely on high-energy neutrons to kill targets, and they are known for killing the enemy without destroying objects, and if the yield is too high, it will lose the characteristics of killing the enemy without destroying objects.

"That's the thing." Wu Han said.

Zhuang Bo looked at the battlefield on the screen: "What is the yield of our neutron bomb, and if it is put on the battlefield, what is the power radius?" ”

Wu Han said: "Normally, the killing radius should be 1.7 kilometers, and if you deal with insect machines, it should be about 1 kilometer." ”

The insect machine has a solid shell and is very resistant to radiation, so Wu Han has to be conservative.

"What about the super-nuke? What is the effect after the change? ”

Wu Han simply calculated: "The diameter of the explosion should be between twenty and twenty-five kilometers, and the killing range must be at least more than a hundred kilometers, right?" ”

The former Soviet Union's super nuclear bomb Big Ivan has a design yield of 100 million tons and a theoretical killing radius of 1,000 kilometers.
