Chapter 225: Small Nuclear Bomb Bombs Bomb Mountain (1/3)
To speed up the work, Levi recommended the use of nuclear bombs.
But there are several concerns that come with it.
For example, what about nuclear radiation residues?
In fact, compared with the most primitive fission energy nuclear bombs, the second-generation hydrogen bomb and the third-generation neutron bomb, as well as the fourth-generation miniaturized nuclear weapons, because most of the nuclear substances are involved in the chain reaction, the harmful residue is less than 1%.
The light radiation produced is only the most intense and lethal when it explodes.
After the explosion, it only takes a few hours for the area to be entered without any precautions.
The nuclear test sites of these nuclear-armed countries, such as Xia, Xing, and Mao, have conducted dozens or hundreds of nuclear tests, but they have not become forbidden areas and are forbidden for people and animals to enter.
Mao even used nuclear bombs to build reservoirs, and some people went into the reservoir to swim that day.
Therefore, there is almost no problem with bombing the mountain with a nuclear bomb, and it is the best choice to speed up the efficiency of the project.
And Levi also said:
"If you don't have small nuclear weapons in your hands, I can provide raw materials and related manufacturing technology, and you can produce them, and I estimate that with the amount of foundation engineering of the "Sky Rail Project", about 100 small nuclear bombs with a yield of 2,000 tons are enough to use, and if it is fast, it can be done within half a year."
"If you say that the working environment is bad, then the workers should try to use robots with a small number of human construction workers...... Robots can work in any environment. ”
"Well, can you use my method? Your construction methods are too backward, you are not an infrastructure maniac at all, this engineering task, placed in my dark empire, can be completed in a hundred days at most, and you still have a lot of room to catch up. ”
Levi said in a somewhat disdainful tone.
When Li Huichang heard this, he immediately became anxious.
The first two sentences sounded okay, but the last sentence stimulated him a lot, and he really couldn't accept it.
Look at it in the range of Blue Mercury, whether it is reclamation of islands, construction of high-speed railways, or construction of bridges and dams, it is not the first speed, efficiency first, and quality first in Xia Kingdom, which makes foreigners dumbfounded, deeply shocked and desperate, and then scolds their own government, and can't help but have a sense of crisis that has been surpassed by Xia Kingdom.
The title of infrastructure madness is not what they call themselves, but it is recognized all over the world and is a well-deserved honor.
As a result, when it came to His Majesty Levi, he was actually despised?
OK, OK!
Li Huichang immediately said: "Your Majesty, just follow the method you said, mountains, bomb with nuclear bombs, people, use robots!" We will do everything we can to speed up our engineering efficiency. ”
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured, the above should agree to your plan, and I will try my best to get approval, Your Majesty, you are also right, conventional methods, can not cope with such a huge project at all, the future nuclear bomb bombing will be a common option, there is no problem in technology, the key is to change the way of thinking."
"My thinking has changed Your Majesty, from now on, I plan to become an expert in the 'nuclear bomb bombing mountain', specializing in the correct use of nuclear bombs, I also suddenly found that compared with investing billions, tens of billions to dig tunnels, open mountains and fill valleys, the cost of using nuclear bombs is very low, it may only be 1/10, 1/20 of conventional methods, or even lower, but the efficiency can be accelerated many times, and the savings of manpower and material resources are very considerable."
"I remember that a few decades ago, someone proposed to blow up a gap in the Himalayas, so that the humid air of the Indo-Sanyang in the south could enter the Western Regions, and the Western Regions Province, which was dominated by arid deserts, would become a plug in the south of the Yangtze River...... In the past, this was just a bold idea, but now it seems that it may not be impossible to realize, but few people think about it like this anymore, so it seems that today's people are not as bold as they used to be, even if they have the ability to do it, they dare not think like that. ”
Li Huichang woke up.
It was as if the door to a new world had opened in front of him, and it suddenly dawned on him.
It turns out that the limit of the infrastructure madness does not end here, and there is still more room for improvement.
Manpower is poor after all, and the power of machines is unlimited.
Moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, building bridges and roads, is just pediatrics, spending ten or twenty years, investing hundreds of billions of yuan, to complete a large-scale dam project, it is simply an inefficient waste, he thinks it can be compressed to five years to complete, and the money is saved by half.
In the future, human beings will enter the interstellar age, building interstellar spaceships tens of kilometers long, and the transformation project may be a planet with a diameter of thousands of kilometers.
Times are changing, especially in this era of eyeball economy, even the short video of Douyin is 15 seconds to reach a climax, and they can't be complacent because of the title of "infrastructure madness", if they can compress a mountain opening task that originally took more than three months to 15 seconds to complete, compared to that time, it is the moment when they regain the honor of "infrastructure madness".
So next, Li Huichang knew what to do.
……
A week later.
Li Huichang's suggestion was adopted by the above, and a secret nuclear plant in a mothballed state in a certain place was re-entered into production.
The Ministry of Nuclear Industry is also conducting simulated nuclear tests, and in about a month, a small nuclear bomb with a demand yield will be produced and put into use.
Originally, it was only a weapon of strategic deterrence, but it was turned into a tool for civilian use.
And that's not all.
Considering that there are many places where small nuclear bombs will be used in the future, Levi actually made a joke and asked the Dark Space Company to place an order for 10,000 pieces at a price of 10 million each, and this is only the first batch of orders, and there may be more later.
Many people were frightened, and let people spread the word:
"Your Majesty, a nuclear bomb is very dangerous, it's not a joke, if you don't get it right, something will happen! Please think carefully. ”
"I've never seen the world."
Levi shook his head and said mockingly, "Does the star know? The energy it releases per second is equal to millions of high-powered nuclear bombs, even so, it was still used by the scientists of the Dark Empire, like a furnace, the power of the nuclear bomb, not even a match, indeed, as a weapon, the nuclear bomb can kill many people at once, but in the future interstellar era, the power of the nuclear bomb is similar to the current ordinary gun bullet, a more powerful weapon, can destroy the planet with one shot. ”
"Instead of worrying about their own safety, it is better to consider improving their own capabilities, and when we reach the interstellar age, we will find that nuclear deterrence is just a joke, just a storm in a bottle, and vulnerable individuals will be more and more easily destroyed, but in the same way, the overall intelligent civilization has become more powerful, and can control more destructive weapons and stronger construction capabilities."
"Well, aren't you building a fusion power station over there? I can provide 100 tons of helium-3 fuel mined from the moon and barter, or pay 100 billion in cash in exchange for the low-powered nuclear bomb I need...... Two trading options, you guys think about it. ”
Two days later.
The Ministry of Nuclear Industry sent a reply: they chose 100 tons of helium-3 fuel to be cargo...... The energy released by this helium-3 can be used by Blue Mercury for a year, and the electricity generated can be sold for at least trillions.
But they also have a condition, that is, when the nuclear bomb is used on the Rivi side, they must send a few people to supervise it, and it must not be used for other purposes.
"Okay, deal."
Levi felt that the other party was doing something excessive, but nodded in agreement.
