Daming 1805

After handing over the command to Guan Tianpei, the officers headed by Zhu Zhaoxie continued to visit the emperor at Yingtian Mansion.

The place was still in the main hall of the Hall of Martial Arts, and Zhu Jingyuan was still standing on the steps in his military uniform, accepting the military salute from the future generals of the Forbidden Army.

After the ceremony, the two sides sat down, and Zhu Zhaoxie presented the two reports he had prepared.

One is about the current situation of the entire atomic energy industry system, and the other is a summary of the data of the two nuclear tests in Tiannan.

At the same time, I explained the general situation on the spot, which can be regarded as marking the main points.

Zhu Jingyuan first looked at the nuclear test data above.

The content of the report is very standardized, and the opening chapter is a brief description of the content.

The most critical and important content is accurately extracted and listed at the top of the report, and the detailed description is placed at the back.

Zhu Jingyuan first read the introduction of the power of the explosion.

In addition to the simple and direct equivalent data of [-] tons, what is more important is the actual killing effect on various types of targets.

Then Zhu Jingyuan was a little bit puzzled.

The destructive effect of this [-]-ton fission bomb seems not to be as great as I always thought.

The most direct killing effect of the explosion is the pure energy shock wave.

For various animals that are close in size to humans, the direct fatality rate can reach about 50.00% within a radius of about two kilometers.

The air-exploded bomb at a height of 600 meters has a killing range with the same effect, which is slightly larger than the range of the bench test.

Followed by the light and heat generated by the explosion, it can directly ignite the surrounding combustibles and form a large-scale fire.

Moreover, driven by the shock wave, the fire is likely to spread rapidly and become one piece.

The report calls this superimposed effect "Firestorm".

If the shock wave is within two kilometers, the direct fatality rate is 50.00%, but after superimposing the fire storm, the fatality rate is close to [-]%.

Therefore, this two-kilometer radius is temporarily called the "destruction radius" by the testers.

The coverage area of ​​the fire storm is about twice the range of the 50.00% fatality rate of the shock wave, that is, a radius of four kilometers.

In the range of two kilometers to four kilometers, many animals can survive.

Because not all places have combustibles, the lethality rate of the shock wave at a distance of two kilometers is already lower than 50.00%.

At four kilometers, the shock wave can only shatter ordinary glass and collapse some of the simplest shantytowns.

The fire storm also spread within a range of less than four kilometers.

Therefore, the death rate of animals four kilometers away has been reduced to single digits, and most animals can survive.

The dead individuals were mainly killed by falling objects.

Therefore, this four-kilometer range is temporarily called the safe range by the testers.

The observation bunker at the test site is ten kilometers away from the explosion point of the test.

At this time, only the change of the wind can be felt.

Even if the observers at that time were not hiding in the bunker, they would not be injured.

Looking at the relatively safe distance of four kilometers, Zhu Jingyuan had a vague feeling of "it's just that".

The equivalent of [-] tons is not large, but the energy spread of the explosion is oriented to the entire space.

The ratio between the radius of the explosion shock wave's killing area and the equivalent of the explosion should be a cube root.

The equivalent is increased to eight times the original, the killing radius can only be increased to twice the original, and the killing range is increased to four times the original.

So far, Daming has conducted two experiments. The four-kilometer safety distance measured so far is obviously not accurate enough, but generally speaking, it should not be wrong.

Zhu Jingyuan calculated in his mind, based on this data and superimposed according to the cube root, it can be roughly concluded that:
For a bomb of about [-] tons, the safe distance should be about [-] kilometers, and the destruction radius should be [-] kilometers.

For a bomb of about 100 million tons, the safe distance should be [-] kilometers, and the destruction radius should be [-] kilometers.

For a bomb of about 1000 million tons, the safe distance should be about [-] kilometers, and the destruction radius should be [-] kilometers.

For the Big Ivan, which is about 5000 million tons, the safe distance should be about 54 kilometers, and the destruction radius is 26 kilometers.

It can be seen from this that a weapon with a particularly large equivalent is not considered uneconomical.

If it is used to attack the urban population, the radius of the core area of ​​most cities will not exceed ten kilometers.

Therefore, for attacking ordinary cities, 100 million tons is enough.

For a super city with a population of tens of millions, the radius of the core area is only 1000 kilometers, so [-] million tons is the limit.

In fact, because the closer to the edge of the strike range, the actual killing effect is smaller.

In addition, the larger the equivalent, the more difficult the actual dispatch and control.

So instead of fighting with one tens of millions of tons of warheads, it is better to replace it with four megatons of bombs.

It may be easier to use, and the hitting effect will be better.

If it is used to destroy special military buildings and special military installations, the scope is even smaller.

There is simply no need for megaton bombs.

It can be seen that the range of bomb equivalents with the best cost performance should be below one million tons, ranging from tens of thousands of tons to hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, the major nuclear powers in Zhu Jingyuan's previous life all pursued multi-warhead technology after the technology matured.

None of them pursued large equivalents without restriction on the basis of Big Ivan.

After doing this calculation, Zhu Jingyuan felt even more that the power of these weapons had not reached his subconscious impression...

There is no sense of destruction.

To use the standard of complete destruction to blow up the entire land surface of the world, more than 400 million [-]-ton bombs are needed.

Or 90 megaton bombs, or 20 megaton bombs, or [-] Big Ivan...

Seventy thousand big Ivan...

At the peak of the Cold War in the previous life, the number of nuclear bombs in the world was less than [-], and most of them were tactical nuclear bombs of tens to hundreds of thousands of tons. ,

Therefore, the global cleansing of the nuclear war has always been a complete exaggeration.

Destroying the world dozens of times is also an exaggeration.

A very simple reason, the production and maintenance of nuclear weapons and strategic missiles also cost money.

If any organization has mastered a weapon capable of destroying the whole world, it is impossible for it to continue to produce more weapons of the same kind.

The decision makers of any country have to consider the cost, so it is impossible to produce weapons that "destroy the world dozens of times".

The media don't need to think about it, so they will say this to cater to the readers' curiosity.

To cater to the ubiquitous potential fantasy that "the rulers are fools and lunatics, and only the sages have calmness and wisdom".

However, Zhu Jingyuan listened to Zhu Zhaoxie's introduction and looked at the detailed data in the report in front of him, and gradually gained another level of cognition in his heart.

The report I saw was very detailed, specifically how high the fatality rate could be at what distance.

Rather than the general exaggerated online sayings of "destroying a city", or "nuclear bomb cleansing" and "restarting the world".

If you look at these data carefully, you can find that they are actually really scary.

More cruel than those empty exaggerations.

"50.00% fatality rate" means that half of all people die instantly, and it is conceivable that half of the people around you fall to the ground instantly.

Moreover, this is the sampling data at a critical point, the death rate is higher the further in, and the lower the further out.

Coupled with the burning of the fire storm, the killing of human beings is actually very terrifying, and the death rate in this range is actually close to [-]%.

The ultimate goal of human beings is to destroy all hostile human beings, and there is no need to really wash the entire surface of the earth.

Humans only need to blow up the places where people gather.

A nuclear bomb of less than 100 million tons can destroy most of the conventional cities and destroy most of the population of the entire city.

Zhu Jingyuan's home country in his previous life had 2844 county-level administrative regions, while the United States had 3143 counties.

Even if it is a huge city with a population of tens of millions, if the core area is hit by a million-ton nuclear bomb, the fringe areas of the city may not be completely destroyed, but the entire city will definitely be basically paralyzed.

The key point is that county-level administrative districts include municipal districts. The built-up area of ​​a super city with a population of tens of millions may be very large, but in fact it is divided into many districts.

Therefore, a total of more than 6000 bombs with an equivalent equivalent of hundreds of thousands of tons are needed to destroy all the large-scale cities of the world's two largest countries.

Even if this range is extended to the whole world, it is estimated that only tens of thousands of pieces are enough.

At the peak of the Cold War, the two nuclear powers in the world did have tens of thousands of large bombs in their hands.

If all these bombs are thrown out, it is really possible to set back human civilization by decades.

Both America and Red Lucia made nuclear war assessments at the time.

If they are subjected to a full-scale nuclear attack by the other party, it will take at least ten years to restore most of their industrial capabilities.

But the premise of this assessment is to consider the defense mechanism, and more importantly, the situation that the original government is still functioning well after being hit.

But after a full-scale nuclear attack on each other, more than one-third of the population of both sides will be lost, and [-]% of the social order will completely collapse.

All government agencies and communication facilities must be key targets, and the collapse of the imperial court is inevitable.

It may take a generation, or even two, to return to pre-war conditions.

But human beings will not perish.

Even human civilization will not perish because of this.

There will be a large number of people surviving in villages and small towns outside cities, as well as in remote mountain villages.

Half of the population would survive the war.

Then as long as they have a few decades, they will be able to restore the production facilities, re-establish a new order, and form new vested interests.

It's just that the original country and court no longer exist.

The original ruling class, the original vested interests, certainly no longer exist.

The imperial court in a conventional country is actually a representative of the ruling class, representing the interests of the ruling class, or the interests of those with vested interests.

In other words, an all-out nuclear war that completely destroys each other actually destroys the existing order and the interests of those with vested interests.

This is of course of no real benefit to the actual ruling class of any country.

This is also something that has never happened in the history of human warfare.

Before the technology of strategic nuclear weapons and nuclear missiles matured, there had never been such weapons that had this effect.

There is no need to destroy the army of ordinary people controlled by the enemy's court, and it is not necessary to completely penetrate the homeland where the ordinary people of the enemy country live and protect, to directly destroy the personnel and assets of the opponent's ruling group.

In the past, the national ruling group and the vested interests of the existing order have always lived in a stable rear.

They will not be directly harmed until the national order completely collapses.

So they are not afraid of launching foreign wars.

Even if the whole country perishes, they themselves are the last to be executed.

After the emergence of strategic missiles and nuclear weapons, the rulers and vested interests themselves, as well as their wealth, have changed from the most stable rear area to the key targets on the table.

The highest priority is to hit the target.

This is why, before the United States dropped the atomic bomb in World War II, Japanese pirates clamored for [-] million pieces of jade.

Because there are [-] million people, they can continue to rule for a period of time.

The key is to allow the opponent to give them better surrender conditions because they are considering the loss of [-] million jade fragments.

But after the actual combat of the atomic bomb, he knelt down at the speed of light.

He was afraid that the rice animals would not talk about martial arts, so he directly blasted them in the Imperial Palace. No matter how many people outside wanted jade pieces, they couldn't save them for a second.

This situation is equivalent to that they have been pointed at the head by the United States.

Therefore, in the era after the middle of the Cold War, the rulers of conventional countries no longer dare to engage in full-scale development with nuclear-armed countries.

Any country does not need to control the power to destroy the world, but only needs to control the power to destroy the rulers and vested interests of the enemy country, so as to prevent powerful countries from bullying themselves to death.

Holding a small amount of nuclear weapons, although it cannot destroy the world, can give oneself dignity.

Strategic weapons cannot destroy the earth, and it is difficult to truly destroy all mankind, but there is a high possibility of destroying any ruling group.

Therefore, the main ruling group must persevere in propaganda to the public through the mouthpiece it controls.

Convince everyone that nuclear weapons are against humanity.

I believe that what nuclear weapons destroy is the entire human race, all civilizations of the entire human race, and can even destroy the earth on which we all depend dozens of times.

Let everyone think that no one will survive a nuclear war.

The key is that anyone who tries to develop and control nuclear weapons other than himself is an evil anti-human terrorist.

In today's world, if a major country in Taixi acquires a mature strategic nuclear weapon, it will point to Ming's Ying Tianfu.

Then Daming would not be able to give the other party the minimum respect.

If the other party ignored it and really threw the nuclear missile into Yingtian Mansion, even if the emperor hid in the underground air-raid shelter, he was not directly killed.

But will the main members of the royal family live in the underground fortress in the future?
So are they mice hiding in the basement, or my dignified ruling family?

This kind of threat and panic in life, in exchange for the emperor of Ming Dynasty no longer forcing the other party to obey, is a reasonable and feasible transaction.

Therefore, in Zhu Jingyuan's view, the biggest failure of the United States in the previous life, or the doomed failure, was that it did not fully control this "gun".

Although the United States in the previous life was strong enough, it was not capable of truly ruling the world.

They can't really monopolize nuclear weapons.

There is no way to do it. When Red Lucia develops nuclear weapons, it immediately launches an all-out war on it.

They are unable to do this either in terms of ability or public opinion.

The current Daming can barely be regarded as having this ability.

Therefore, Ming's current nuclear strategic goal is to prohibit any country from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Not even early fission weapons.

Zhu Jingyuan did not allow any organization to put their guns on his head, even if it was a small pistol.

So after reading the report, Zhu Jingyuan did not make any direct comments on the report.

However, a very strict order was issued directly, and it was also the first direct order related to war issued by Zhu Jingyuan:

"From now on, if any other country is found to be researching similar weapons, the Military Aircraft Department will immediately submit an application for declaration of war to me.

"From now on, the Military Aircraft Department will begin to formulate and plan an operational plan to immediately declare war on any other country and immediately launch a nuclear strike."

The future generals of the Forbidden Army headed by Zhu Zhaoxie, as well as the military ministers at the scene, were not too surprised by this intention.

They have either personally learned about the power of a nuclear explosion, or learned about it through previous reports.

I have already considered these days, what effect a weapon of this level can have.

Now when I hear the order, I bow respectfully and agree:

"The ministers obey the order."
