Daming 1805

Chapter 511 When the mushroom cloud rises

To be honest, the main military officers headed by Zhu Zhaoxie feel that the court seems to have paid too much attention to this 13-year-old project.

Although they already know that those radioactive metals can cause huge damage to various living things.

They also knew that the ultimate goal of this project was to use these radioactive materials to make a special new type of bomb.

They knew the bomb was very powerful.

But they couldn't imagine how powerful this new bomb could be.

For those who have never understood and seen this kind of weapon, in their natural understanding and imagination, the power of a special new type of bomb can be an order of magnitude higher than the original ordinary bomb, which is already very terrifying.

That is to say, from one ton to ten tons, the overall increase is tenfold.

If it is just this level of power improvement, then the power of these radioactive elements and new bombs is not worthy of such a high level of security and confidentiality requirements.

It's not that Ming Dynasty didn't study things like poison gas bombs, and the relevant agencies didn't raise the management system to this standard at that time.

When the chemical explosives were produced, of course they had the effect of being born out of nowhere, but no special troops were established to manage them.

There is also no separate establishment of a traditional emperor's pro-army independent of the five-army governor's mansion to be directly responsible.

It wasn't until they saw the explosion with their own eyes that they finally understood it completely.

Your Majesty's request is not excessive at all...

After the commander presses the button, a bright light comes on first.

Its brightness is so strong that the sun in the sky is almost suppressed by it.

Then, the test bench turned into an overturned steelmaking furnace, and the bright light was like a mass of molten steel.

At the same time, a shock wave that was almost visible to the naked eye appeared from the center of the test platform and swept across the entire test site in an instant.

Wherever this shock wave went, the entire earth seemed to have been brushed over.

Everything within a kilometer of the test stand was destroyed.

Almost all buildings were smashed, and all animals were burned directly to ashes.

Within a range of two kilometers, all the brick and tile houses turned into building materials and flew directly into the sky.

Ordinary concrete houses basically collapsed, and only concrete bunkers thick enough to remain basically intact.

At the same time, all combustibles were directly ignited, and all animals were turned into barbecues.

The cars were all reduced to wreckage and flew away along with building materials.

Within a range of three kilometers, some brick buildings collapsed, all glass and other appendages of the building were shattered, and most of the combustible materials were ignited.

Terrible fires broke out in all the simulated human living areas, and all the vehicles were burned down.

Within six kilometers, there was still an obvious sense of vibration, and vehicles and machinery were blown away.

Around the bunker ten kilometers away, there was still a very terrifying sound of wind, and a large number of electronic equipment suddenly stopped working.

Screeching high-frequency signals emanated from various monitoring and audio equipment.

During this process, a huge mushroom cloud has slowly risen into the sky.

Like a huge pillar, it stands between the sky and the earth, forming a man-made natural wonder.

Zhu Zhaoxie and all the military personnel, watching the scene of the explosion outside through the TV screen and the observation window, fell into a state of stupor.

At this time, the first thought in their minds is that the power of the gods descending to earth probably has this kind of power!
For something of this level, one can directly destroy a base, a small city and a fortress.

The weapon that directly forcibly destroys the city has really appeared before his eyes.

With this kind of weapon, the Ming army is really completely invincible.

With one such bomb on a plane, hundreds of thousands of planes go to the battlefield, it can really directly destroy a country!
It is not to slowly conquer the main cities of a country, and then exaggerate the expression at the language level as "destroying a country".

Now this is physically, literally destroying a country.

This is no longer a tactical level of power, it is enough to be considered, planned and used separately at the strategic level.

It's really worth building armies exclusively, managing and using them exclusively.

If this happened through the activities of ordinary troops, because of corruption or accidental exile on the arms black market, it would be too terrifying.

The relevant craftsmen on the scene stared at the test readings on various equipment and remained silent for a long time.

This bomb, weighing only two tons, exploded with a power equivalent to [-] tons of standard explosives.

The unit energy is directly increased by [-] times.

Moreover, even if [-] tons of chemical explosives are piled up and exploded together, this level of effect cannot be achieved.

Because the energy density is not enough.

The volume of [-] tons of chemical explosives is reduced to less than the size of an atomic bomb.

Although they had already expected this level of data before the real experiment, they already had basically accurate calculation results on the data.

But when the data becomes reality, it feels equally shocking.

After a long time, the on-site personnel slowly recovered and began to quickly summarize and organize data reports.

Readjust the communication equipment and report the successful results of the experiment to the emperor of Yingtianfu.

In the palace of Yingtianfu New City, Zhu Jingyuan received a special telegram and several faxed photos attached.

Zhu Jingyuan took a few glances, confirmed the news, and asked the Military Aircraft Department to send back the congratulatory telegram.

Then I handed over the telegram and fax of the report to my grandfather and father:

"The test explosion experiment has been successful, and the explosion equivalent has been detected at present, which is about [-] tons, which is not much different from the original assessment..."

Zhu Zhongliang pinched the photo, looked at the mushroom cloud above, and nodded vigorously one after another:

"Okay, okay, great, I can finally see you in my lifetime...

"With this thing, our Daming will truly be invincible.

"Our old Zhu's family is really as stable as a rock."

Zhu Zhongliang is interested in fission and fusion weapons, of course because of their enormous power.

More importantly, this huge power can produce direct effects.

First of all, of course, is the explosive improvement of Ming's military power.

Ming's armed forces are now leading the world in conventional weapons.

However, at the current level of technology, the enemy will be able to fight against Da Ming's army after all.

Although there is a huge gap in quantity and quality between the two sides, they are still at the same level in essence.

Fission and fusion weapons, as strategic weapons, can increase the strike effect to a higher level.

In the future, Da Ming doesn't need to fight head-on, he can directly make the enemy lose the power to fight back.

Then, it is the significance of these things to the Ming royal family.

The royal family is not the head of state for future generations, but a family of rulers who are on the surface.

Regardless of the power of the royal family to control the country, it will eventually accumulate more and more opposition and hatred.

If the Ming emperor went against the grain, if the Ming Dynasty really collapsed completely, the royal family's ending might be tragic.

Although this situation has been difficult to really appear.

As long as the emperor of Ming Dynasty is not a fool, he will not continue to bite the bullet and resist and squeeze when he knows that there is nothing to be done.

Otherwise, you can choose to gradually back down and slowly delegate power to transform it into a symbol of reputation.

However, this so-called choice has no real guarantee.

Nor can it be taken for granted that all of his descendants will be able to give in objectively.

According to the experience of the two worlds, even a country with a strong commercial atmosphere like Britain has had the head of the king cut off.

Not to mention the old revolutionary bases of France and Lucia.

Taking another ten thousand steps back, the emperor really succeeded in conceding and delegating power. How can the status of the emperor as a symbol of the country be guaranteed?
If the royal family had a small atomic bomb, the situation would change immediately.

At that time, even if the royal family was overthrown by a rebellion or a coup, they would basically dare not do anything to the royal family.

Even if the emperor himself delegated power, it became a symbol of honor for Ming Dynasty.

Then he should still be at the level of a real emperor, regardless of his status on the surface or the treatment he can actually enjoy.

The personal and property safety of members of the royal family can also be guaranteed as high as possible.

The royal family is just a family. To protect their status, they don't even need to produce fusion bombs, as long as they have fission bombs.

Fission bombs can be made as small as possible, and can be carried by one person.

With the power of the emperor, he can raise a group of real dead soldiers, and even choose to carry a suitcase with him.

So after Zhu Zhongliang got the news, he was very satisfied mentally.

Zhu Zhongliang knew his state, and it was probably difficult to see a truly miniaturized fusion weapon.

But fission weapons have been realized, and the future is already foreseeable.

Zhu Jianyan, who was also the emperor, is also the current royal family's idea, and now he has similar ideas.

Zhu Jianyan swallowed his saliva, then looked around, only his father and son were present, and then said to Zhu Jingyuan:

"This weapon...is really made. A two-ton bomb explodes with [-] tons of energy..."

Zhu Jingyuan let out a long breath, nodded earnestly with the same emotion and said:
"Yes, we have made it now, and a new era has arrived!"

Then the scene was silent for a while, and Zhu Jianyan suddenly said in confirmation:
"Is it still 15 years of Ankang?"

Zhu Jingyuan froze for a moment, then nodded honestly and said:
"really."

Zhu Zhongliang beside him smiled:
"It is indeed 15 years of Ankang, but it will not be next year..."

These two lines of dialogue between the two actually refer to the future historical records, and Ming's atomic energy weapons will be successfully tested in the Ankang era.

The reign title of Daming can also refer to the emperor himself, so people in later generations will remember that the atomic bomb of Daming was succeeded by Zhu Jianyan during his reign.

In fact, this is true. The entire project was completed in the Ankang era, from the second year of Ankang to the 15th year of Ankang.

Daming will definitely continue to study fusion weapons in the future, and fusion weapons will definitely be completed in the next year, which corresponds to Zhu Jingyuan.

Then Zhu Jianyan hesitated to speak, and there were some things he wanted to say but didn't say.

Theoretically speaking, according to the rules left by Emperor Shizu, Zhu Jingyuan has not yet passed the one-year "internship period".

The legacy of the ancestors has not been officially handed over to Zhu Jingyuan.

The main thing is that Zhu Jingyuan's current state makes people feel that there is no need for the legacy of the ancestors at all.

Even, he himself may have to write a new small book, and pass it on to his future generations.

Zhu Jingyuan also tasted a little bit of meaning from his grandfather's words:
"The new element project will continue to be carried out. We will develop an atomic fusion bomb on the basis of the atomic energy fission energy bomb.

"Once the development is successful, the explosive yield of the new generation of fusion bombs can be increased by hundreds or even thousands of times..."

After hearing this, Zhu Jianyan said with emotion:
"That's the matter of your ecumenical year..."

Zhu Zhongliang beside him also changed his mood:

"Let's talk about the business now. Now that these weapons have been successful, how do you plan to manage and use them?"

Of course Zhu Jingyuan has a plan:

"The existing mineral development institutions, raw material extraction and transportation institutions, technology research and production institutions are gradually transformed into the Huangzhuang system.

"That is to say, from the direct administration of the army, it gradually shifts to the jurisdiction of the factory system and maintains a relatively independent operation.

"Relevant military personnel, in addition to the navy, land, and air forces, set up a new army to be responsible for the management and use of the produced atomic weapons.

"The management system is the same as it is now, still directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, and directly allocated by the Huangzhuang and the imperial consortium.

"However, the vehicles responsible for delivering atomic weapons are still under the jurisdiction of the original armed forces.

"The planes that dropped the bombs, the vehicles that transported the bombs, and the ships that carried the bombs were all operated by the original personnel of the three services.

"The new army is only responsible for receiving orders from the emperor and handing over the bombs obtained from the production institutions to the three armies.

"The three armies are transported to the designated place at the designated time according to the emperor's order.

"In the end the Forces Nouvelles blew it up with their own system.

"That is to say, separate the management of factories, guns, and ammunition, so as to avoid any one military service or organization from controlling the whole process.

"Without the cooperation of manufacturers, neither the new army nor the three armies will get bombs.

"Without the direct cooperation of the vehicle units of the three services, these bombs would not be able to be delivered to the designated locations.

"Without specific instructions from the Forces Nouvelles system, there is no way for these bombs to detonate."

Zhu Jianyan was a little surprised:
"The emperor's direct control plan is appropriate, and this weapon must be in the hands of the royal family.

"However, aircraft carriers, aircraft, submarines, and vehicles are not directly allocated to the new army, and they are allowed to operate completely independently.

"Should we still continue to rely on the original tri-service vehicle system?"

Zhu Jingyuan briefly explained his thoughts:
"Theoretically, the armies directly under the emperor's control may not really be under the emperor's constant control.

"There are too many things about the emperor, and theoretically there are too many institutions and personnel directly under the emperor's control.

"A lot of things, except when it was first established, the emperor really cared about it all the time and maintained enough control.

"But as time went on, the emperor had other important things to focus on, and the original things were gradually let go.

"Actually, the relevant personnel of that agency are in charge of the day-to-day jurisdiction.

"If a military branch is established alone, it will completely control the production, delivery and detonation of atomic weapons.

"Once the emperor's actual control over this military branch is reduced, it will quickly become a very dangerous thing.

"It may become relatively difficult for the emperor to take over in the future.

"So, like other system designs, a pattern of mutual constraints has been formed from the very beginning.

"Unless the entire military system betrays the royal family, these things will not become the opposite of the royal family."

Zhu Jianyan is also the emperor, and he understood it the moment Zhu Jingyuan started.

After hearing Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, he nodded directly:

"Indeed, your plan conforms to the consistent tradition. Although it will definitely reduce efficiency, this kind of weapon does not require efficiency.

"As a strategic deterrent, it is a relatively reasonable arrangement to prevent any agency from using it easily."

"If it is only used to protect the royal family, only a very small number of fission weapons will do.

"The Huangzhuang and imperial manufacturers responsible for the production will leave some finished products and dangerous raw materials in their hands.

"The emperor can also directly extract a very small amount of warheads at any time, and put them in places and people's hands that can be directly controlled at any time.

"Even the emperor himself carried it directly.

"Having such a small number of weapons is more than enough to act as a deterrent to the royal family.

"As long as we have these things in hand, even if the domestic situation is completely overturned, the rebels will not dare to kill the royal family."

In fact, Zhu Jingyuan didn't immediately think in this direction, Zhu Jingyuan was more concerned with the use at the national level.

Now listening to the introduction of the old man, I immediately understood the role of this thing for the members of the royal family.

Zhu Jingyuan immediately recalled that in his previous life, the orthodox royal family completely controlled a country, and at the same time held fission weapons...

It's as if it doesn't exist at all...
