The probability of the occurrence of the term "trinity" is actually quite high.

A little further afield, when we were in school, we all learned about the economic model proposed by an early economist, such as capital creating profits, land producing rent, and labor generating wages. Trinity is also a Chinese translation of the game Trine, a very good fantasy-style action single-player game. This term can also refer to a certain ability of the protagonist in a comic.

But here, of course, refers to the trinity of nuclear forces.

In a specific point, it refers to the way in which the load force is delivered.

Air Force Delivery, also known as air-based delivery, was the first mechanism to be established. At the end of World War II, two large mushrooms on an island were delivered directly by B29 bombers to the target through an air-based route. The reason why the bomber itself was not destroyed by nuclear weapons is said to be because the B29 was extremely durable, and even caused a headache for the German people of the year. B29, known as the Super Flying Fortress, can still fly even if it is beaten to pieces. There is even such an example, there was a malfunctioning B29 bomber after all the crew parachuted out, and the command headquarters in order to prevent it from crashing in a populated area, in fact, also to prevent leakage, let a nearby P61 fighter shoot it down, as a result, the P61 almost ran out of shells before the unmanned live target B29 could not continue to fly and crashed. And the firepower of the P61 was already at the top of its class at that time.

The air-based delivery method has been emulated by the vast number of nuclear-armed states due to the initial success stories. However, decades of development have been gradually abandoned by most nuclear powers, and one of the reasons is that air force airfields are easily destroyed by the first wave of nuclear strikes. Up to now, only Meritian Mary Sue's B-2 stealth bomber and Tu-160 super bomber have the ability to deliver nuclear weapons over 10,000 kilometers in actual operation.

Ground-based delivery was initially limited to fixed silos. The disadvantage of silos is also that they are easily destroyed in the first wave of strikes and have low survivability. Later, after technological advances, it was possible to integrate launchers with missiles on heavy trucks and become a force for mobility. But dodging the first blow was still not as effective.

At best, there are almost no disadvantages, but the sea-based delivery method, that is, the sea-based submarine-launched ballistic missile.

Launch missiles through submarines.

Its advantage lies mainly in the ability to strike back after a second nuclear strike, that is, after withstanding a nuclear strike.

Among the three delivery methods, there is no doubt that the sea-based submarine-launched ballistic missile has the strongest second-strike capability.

Because it is the most survivable.

Air-based delivery, with radar detection; roadbed silos, with satellite irradiation, and artificial eyeline; No matter how good the defense measures are, it is difficult not to be detected by the local authorities.

Strategic nuclear submarines do not have these problems. If you go to sea for two or three months at a time, if you don't need to consider the physiology and psychology of the crew, you can even stay underwater without revealing the water, which is extremely concealed and survivable. However, for the connected water bodies that occupy more than 70% of the surface and the average water depth is more than 3,000 meters, many detection methods such as radar, sonar, and magnetic fields are very weak. Previously, the strategic nuclear submarines of Britain and France had collided in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, and the incident was only discovered a year after the incident when the two countries communicated with each other! This shows the concealment of strategic nuclear submarines and the difficulty of active detection.

Therefore, it is the safest practice for strategic-class submarines to carry strategic ballistic missiles.

That's why officer Ru Zhengxiang can be so confident.

The source of his confidence is the last and most powerful weapon on the submarine.

Attack nuclear submarines were also incorporated into the fleet, but no one knew their location. Because the ballistic missiles on the submarine have a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, even if the submarine is in the Arctic Ocean at the moment, it can hit any point on the earth. At this moment, due to the problem of communication distance, it is close to the formation, but the specific location information has not been leaked.

All they know is that now the warhead has been loaded.

They also know that the target has been set on a large enemy aircraft carrier formation less than 300 nautical miles from us.

And Ru Zhengxiang was sure that in just 4 minutes, a spectacular mushroom cloud with a height of hundreds of kilometers would appear at the position of the enemy fleet. The earth will reproduce a super-bomb used in war that has not been seen for more than 70 years.

Ru Zhengxiang firmly believes this.

However, at this time, a clear female voice sounded in the cabin.

"You're too confident."

There are all big men here, just a woman, so naturally she can only be cold. Hearing her words, Ru Zhengxiang's brows furrowed.

What Duan Han said, it was difficult for him not to pay attention to it. This character, who was thought to be a vase by all the officers present, has already had two extremely eye-catching performances in a short period of time. One time was easily connected to the camera surveillance system of the entire aircraft carrier, which meant that the entire aircraft carrier had no secrets to her; The second time was to successfully reverse the enemy's second wave of countless missiles, which can be said to have saved everyone present, which also means that the strength of her information warfare has increased to the extent of surpassing the "big ship" for half a generation in a short period of time! This kind of progress is so amazing that it is impossible not to speculate that she may not only have mastered the progress of engineering technology, but may even be the progress of the underlying science such as mathematics, so that she can make a breakthrough in such a short period of time.

The little girl Duanhan's strength in this area is obvious to all, but she is also the most non-threatening person in this room.

But on the other hand, Ru Zhengxiang can be said to have mastered the most powerful threat of force in a sense.

"You probably don't know what a ballistic missile is," he said. ”

Duan Han made a strange expression, as if to say: I don't know?

In Ru Zhengxiang's view, this is intolerable contempt.

"Perhaps for people like you, ballistic missiles mean countless scientific principles, engineering techniques, parameter corrections," he said...... And all other terms that I don't know at all, hehe, it's just that you so-called scientists don't pay attention to practice too much. Ballistic missiles, you think about it too complicated. ”

Duan Han still looked at him seriously and curiously. She was really expecting this guy to tell her something, to tell her something she didn't know.

Ru Zhengxiang told her: "It only takes three steps to put an elephant in the refrigerator, right?" ”

Duan Han tilted his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Yes! ”

"It only takes three steps to launch a ballistic missile." Ru Zhengxiang sneered.
