Chapter 804: Reversing History
"Yes, we tested it last night, and the power is so great that even military electronic equipment with special protection against electromagnetic pulses is not spared.
And the continuous interference lasts for up to a week or so, during which any form of communication within the area is interrupted.
There is no nuclear radiation, no violent explosions, and there is little threat to personnel.
It is like a sharp arrow with precise and lethal precision, which can instantly knock the enemy from a large area back to the primitive society from the information society......"
Gu Tao didn't try to hide anything, and generously told the results of the test explosion at night.
After all, if you want to acquire the technology to manufacture such weapons, or to purchase finished products in large quantities, you must first create an atmosphere of friendship and mutual trust, otherwise who will share such an important strategic deterrent weapon.
You must know that since the birth of nuclear deterrence, all the nuclear-armed powers in the world have been very clear that nuclear weapons are actually just decorations, and no one dares to really use them, so all wars after the end of World War II are competing with conventional weapons.
Especially after entering the information age, the military command system is becoming more and more dependent on electronic communications, so the destructive power of EMP bombs is not much worse than that of nuclear weapons, and it will not cause a large number of casualties when put into use in actual combat, let alone worry about the pressure of public opinion from the international community.
All of these advantages have taken place as a result of the fact that some military powers have begun to develop their own electromagnetic pulse weapons, with the Americans making the fastest progress.
As early as 1987, the US Department of Defense put forward a plan for the development of conventional high technology, and high-power microwave weapons were one of its five key technologies.
During the Gulf War in 1991, the US military fired a non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse warhead at Iraq, which instantly destroyed the electronic system of the country's air defense command center.
In 1993, the United States conducted an electromagnetic pulse weapon test codenamed "Harp," in which its antenna group emitted an electromagnetic pulse into the ionosphere, which could block communications and destroy incoming missiles.
In 1999, the US military used electromagnetic and microwave weapons, which were still in the experimental stage, in the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, causing the telecommunications facilities in the entire Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to be paralyzed for three months.
It can be said that in the field of electromagnetic pulse weapons, only China, the United States, and Russia can master the key technologies, of which the United States has the most advanced technological level, followed by China, and Russia has been pulled away for a long distance due to economic reasons.
But the problem is that none of the above three countries can achieve such a small size, such a powerful force, and such a strong destructive and penetrating power of an electromagnetic pulse weapon.
Lu Li was very aware of the power of the magic version of the EMP bomb, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I'm really sorry, this thing is the most important strategic deterrent weapon that I have prepared for this country after I took Venezuela, so its principle and technology are not for sale, just like the miniaturization of nuclear weapons and ICBM technology." ”
"Not for sale?" Hearing this, Old Sun subconsciously frowned.
Although he had long thought that this negotiation would not be as smooth as before, he was a little surprised by such a direct refusal.
"Yes, the technology is not for sale, but I can sell you the finished product, up to fifty per year, the power ranges from covering a building to a big city, I have a comparison table of power and price, you can take it back and look at it slowly. There is also a proviso that I hope to be able to open up a little bit in terms of restrictions on the purchase of weapons. With that, Lu Li took out the list that had been prepared a long time ago.
"What do you want? Let me state in advance that nuclear weapons and chemical and biological weapons are absolutely inaccessible. Sun Lao's eyes showed a look of vigilance, and without thinking, he blocked the two weapons that were most likely to cause serious consequences.
"No, it's not a chemical or biological weapon, it's not a nuclear weapon, I'm going to launch a communications satellite in a synchronous orbit, so I need a launch vehicle, as well as related supporting equipment. In addition, there are cloudburst bombs, cluster bombs, electromagnetic cannons, large airships, and at least fifty coal-powered cargo ships. Lu Li did not hurry and put forward a series of extremely strange requirements in the eyes of normal people.
"Coal-powered cargo ship?!" The expression on Gu Tao's face instantly froze.
If the first few items were barely explainable, then the last one he couldn't understand anyway.
Because in just ten or twenty years after the end of the First World War, fuel oil has completely replaced coal and has become the standard configuration of ships all over the world.
But now it's good, someone actually wants to turn back the wheel of history......
"That's right, if technically it's okay, I'd like to order a batch of coal-burning steam trucks. Why, is there any difficulty?" Lu Li deliberately pretended not to see the shock and disbelief in the other party's eyes, and asked to himself.
It's not that he doesn't know the consequences of turning back history, but there is no way, no oil has been found in the other world so far, and the only energy sources that can be extracted in large quantities are coal and wood.
Maybe the fuel consumption of a few cars and one or two ships, he can barely transport it little by little by tankers, but if it is dozens of ships and hundreds of vehicles, I am afraid that it will not be enough to consume it if he dies of exhaustion.
After all, in order to maintain the normal operation of the power plant and ore smelting equipment, he needed sufficient means of transportation to continuously transport coal, copper ore, silver ore, gold ore and so on back from the mines outside the city.
As for the steamships that also burned coal, they were mainly intended for the criminals who crossed the sea to reclaim their own country, as part of the verbal agreement.
What's more, he didn't want to take the primitive, backward, and easily overturned small sailboat in another world.
The old man looked Lu Li up and down, as if he wanted to see him through, and after two or three minutes, he took a deep breath and said, "I can feel that you are hiding a secret, an amazing secret, and those magical plants, materials, and technologies are all part of this big secret." But it doesn't matter, I'm not just going to dig deeper, as long as you're willing to continue to work closely together, I can give you an opening. But you have to make sure that destructive weapons like cloudbursts and cluster munitions will never be used against civilians. ”
"Don't worry, I can guarantee they won't be used on any humans. Lu Li made a meaningful promise.
"Human ?!!!!" Gu Tao keenly grasped the key word, and opened his mouth to ask something.
But before he could make a sound, Sun Lao pulled him hard, and then got up to say goodbye.
As soon as he stepped out of the hotel door, Gu Tao asked impatiently: "I said leader, why don't you let me speak?" He just said that he would not use it on humans, which means that the things he has to deal with are not humans!"
"Shut up! I don't need you to tell me! But the question is, do you think he'll tell you if you ask? Didn't someone in your action team suggest that he bought a lot of field expedition equipment on the Internet? Check it out right away! You must find out where he has been and who he has been in contact with during that time!" the old man gave the order with a serious expression.
