One Thousand Four Hundred and Two Have Ideas

The international fleet finally broke through the interception of the insect aircraft, and the nuclear bombs that penetrated the insect swarm also played their due role. However, the aliens did not care about the loss of the insect swarm at all. The remaining insect aircraft did not flinch and continued to pounce at full speed. International Fleet.

The battle continued, with artillery shells, missiles and thin lights passing by each other. Occasionally, missiles that passed through the interception penetrated into the insect swarm. In the end, there was bound to be a bright light that no one could ignore.

It may be that the international fleet has controlled the number of artillery-launched missiles, and the situation of large numbers of missiles breaking through interception has never happened again.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is still thousands of kilometers. This journey is gradually becoming chaotic due to the full-speed sprint of the insect plane, but there is still some time before direct contact. If nothing unexpected happens, the battle situation will not change in a short time, but all Everyone is looking forward to further developments of the situation.

Another nuclear bomb exploded in the swarm of insects, and the bright light of the explosion fell into Huo Qiang's eyes. The intensity was obviously not as strong as the previous nuclear bombs.

Huo Qiang's eyes twitched slightly, and he instantly understood the key: "Chief of Staff, how many bullets do we have?"

Wu Han was startled and suddenly realized: "Commander, are you saying that the bullet that exploded just now was a bullet?"

Huo Qiang nodded: "Eight, nine, ten."

Zhuang Bo said: "In this situation, bullets are indeed a solution." As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Wu Han.

When ordinary nuclear bombs explode in space, their lethality is mainly concentrated in optical radiation, which is indeed insufficient under the current circumstances.

But the bullet is different. This thing relies on fast sub-flow to kill the target. Ordinary nuclear bombs are more suitable for the current special environment.

Wu Hanma brought up the virtual screen, and his fingers clicked randomly as if they were equipped with springs: "Two hundred and forty in total!"

"So few?" Zhuang Bo couldn't believe his ears.

Wu Han said: "It's good to have these, but I didn't plan to equip us with bullets from the beginning!"

Zhuang Bo was no longer calm now: "I understand that we were not given bullets, but where did these bullets come from?"

The fleet's mission this time is to attack Jupiter.

Therefore, the nuclear bombs equipped by the fleet are polarized, either with ultra-high yield or ultra-low yield.

Let’s talk about super-large-yield nuclear bombs first. These nuclear bombs were specially prepared by the military to deal with satellites occupied by aliens. How heavy are they? To put it simply, 50 million tons is just the starting point, 100 million tons is ordinary, 150 million tons is nothing, and 200 million tons is considered the main force.

According to military calculations, a 200-million-ton nuclear bomb detonating on a satellite will have a devastating impact on the geological structure of the explosion area. It is definitely a real strategic nuclear weapon.

As for ultra-low yield, there is nothing to say. The most common tactical nuclear weapons, regardless of missiles or artillery shells, all weapons that can use nuclear warheads are equipped with micro nuclear warheads.

This thing is the main anti-ship force of the human fleet. As long as an alien warship is hit by a nuclear bomb, at least a quarter of its hull will be lost. It is the most frequently used nuclear bomb in the fleet.

Zhuang Bo knew the origins of these two nuclear bombs very well, but he had never heard that the fleet was equipped with bullets.

Wu Han explained: "It's like this. When the fleet set out, all the inventory was moved out and the warships were not filled. Later, a batch of nuclear weapons were transferred from the ground, and they had this batch of bullets."

Zhuang Bo suddenly realized: "I understand!"

I understand, I really understand, but there are only two hundred and forty in total, which seems like a lot, but there are more than fifty battleships in the entire fleet. On average, a battleship can only get a little more than four.

Nuclear bombs have long become a conventional weapon against aliens. In a casual battle, dozens of them can be thrown. Four bullets are too few and will not have much effect at all.

Huo Qiang also thought of this. He was silent for a while and said quietly: "Can you change the super nuclear bomb?"

Wu Han thought for a while and said: "It's difficult. The time is too short. The remaining time is less than an hour."

"Then you have to give it a try, arrange it, and let the technicians seize the time to see if they can change a few, even just one."

"Understood!" Wu Hanma conveyed Huo Qiang's meaning.

Zhuang Bo on the side waited for Wu Han to finish his work, and then asked with a puzzled look: "Commander, Chief of Staff, why can't I understand what you are saying?"

Huo Qiang was not in the mood to study common sense, so he directly ordered Wu Han's general: "Chief of Staff, please explain."

"Yes!" Wu Han cleared his throat, "Deputy Commander Zhuang, I have to ask a question first. Do you know anything about nuclear bombs?"

Zhuang Bo said: "You know a little bit about it, you know that the hydrogen bomb is as powerful as the atomic bomb."

"Structure or something..."

"I never understood it."

"Understood." Wu Han nodded, "That's right. The nuclear charge is uranium or plutonium, which is called an atomic bomb; the atomic bomb plus lithium hydrogen is a hydrogen bomb, also called a biphasic bomb; a biphasic bomb is added with a layer of depleted uranium. Made into a shell... Well, this thing itself does not fission, but when worn outside a biphasic bomb, the high-energy ions produced by fusion can cause the uranium-238 to participate in fission, release more energy, and greatly increase the power of the nuclear bomb... Our equipment All high-yield nuclear bombs are three-phase bombs."

Zhuang Bo nodded and said, "Then what?"

Wu Han said, "If the depleted uranium shell is removed, there is nothing to block the high-energy electrons produced by fusion, and it becomes a bullet... Of course, this is just the principle, and it is not that simple in practice."

Zhuang Bo suddenly realized, "I see, what you just meant is to remove the depleted uranium shell of the super nuclear bomb and turn the super nuclear bomb into a bullet?"

"That's what you mean." Wu Han said.

Zhuang Bo said again, "If I remember correctly, the equivalent of bullets is not too large, right?" Bullets mainly rely on high-energy electrons to kill targets, and are famous for killing enemies without destroying objects. If the equivalent is too high, it will lose the characteristic of killing enemies without destroying objects.

"That's what happened." Wu Han said.

Zhuang Bo looked at the battlefield on the screen: "What is the equivalent of our bullets? If they are put on the battlefield, what is the power radius?"

Wu Han said: "Normally, the killing radius should be 1.7 kilometers. For insect machines, it should be about one kilometer."

The insect machine has a solid shell and is very resistant to radiation. Wu Han had to estimate it conservatively.

"What about the super nuclear bomb? What effect will it have after the modification?"

Wu Han simply calculated: "The diameter of the explosion center should be between 20 and 25 kilometers, and the killing range should be at least more than 100 kilometers, right?"

The former Soviet Union's super nuclear bomb Big Ivan has a designed equivalent of 100 million tons and a theoretical killing radius of 1,000 kilometers. He gave a killing radius of 100 kilometers, which is really conservative. The actual killing radius can only be more, not less.
