Chapter 821: Nuclear Bombs and Rockets

readx; When the nuclear bomb exploded, not only Chen Jingyun was in a bit out of shape, but several other people were also out of shape, Wu Youxun looked at the grand mushroom cloud on the screen, and muttered in his mouth: "It's successful, it's really successful!" ”

Then he squatted on the ground and cried, picking up the hard work he had put into the nuclear bomb project, even Chen Jingyun was not as good as Wu Youxun, since he knew that Chen Jingyun planned to develop a super bomb, and this kind of bomb could make the country and the nation invincible, Wu Youxun was determined to get him out, from the very beginning of the study of various basic theories, to the actual experiments, and then to build a nuclear fission reactor, and then build a giant project to manufacture enriched uranium, This step by step has Wu Youxun's figure.

Now, after more than ten years of hard work, the nuclear bomb has finally been successfully developed, which makes Wu Youxun unable to stop the excitement in his heart.

The other people around them were also cheering, laughing and crying, and the moment the nuclear bomb exploded, they knew that their efforts for more than 20 years had not been in vain.

Chen Yi, chief of staff on the side, and Guan Shijie of the navy were dumbfounded, although they didn't quite believe what those scientists explained before, this nuclear bomb exploded with a yield of 100,000 tons of TNT, but when they saw this huge mushroom cloud, they knew that Wu Youxun and others had not lied before, such a nuclear bomb was enough to destroy a city.

Just when others were excited, Chen Yi had already begun to think about other things, such as the cost of this nuclear bomb, how much could it be manufactured?

After all, he had also heard Chen Jingyun say before that the nuclear bomb project has already cost billions, and if the cost of a nuclear bomb is billions, then don't do it, but if the cost of the nuclear bomb can be reduced and can be mass-produced to reach dozens or even hundreds, then he Chen Yi dares to say like other radical generals in the military: "There is no problem at all for China to single-handedly challenge the world!" ”

In addition, such a nuclear bomb weighs several tons, and to carry such a nuclear bomb to bomb the enemy's territory, especially the continental United States, even if China has now occupied the territory of the Russian Republic, and if it takes off from the north to cross the Arctic Circle, then it will require bombers with a range of at least 10,000 kilometers.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi thought of the Air Force's B19, a bomber with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers.

"I said how to spend a huge amount of money to develop a bomber with an ultra-long range like the B19, even if it is millions of yuan, it must be equipped, and it was originally intended to be used in this way!" Chen Yi strongly opposed the Air Force's purchase of these extremely expensive B19 bombers, believing that the B19 bombers were an expensive toy, although they could fly to the mainland of the United States to bomb, but the high price caused them to bomb at a very low price, and it would be useless to bring so many hundreds of tons of bombs at that time.

But if ordinary ammunition is replaced with nuclear bombs, as long as the number of nuclear bombs is sufficient, then these B19 bombers are enough to become the best choice for China's bombing of the United States.

Chen Yi is not wrong in what he thinks, Chen Jingyun ordered the development of the B19 bomber with only one goal, that is, to develop it as a nuclear bomb carrier, and conventional bombing is not the design goal of the B19 at all.

On the other hand, Guan Shijie's thoughts are different from Chen Yi's, after all, the two of them have different identities and different starting points. Chen Yi is the chief of the General Staff, but in China's military system, although there are Army, Navy, and Air Force, the General Staff is not a simple army general staff, but a general staff department responsible for all military forces in the country.

For example, the position of deputy chief of staff was initially only one deputy chief, and later it was divided into operational deputy chief and permanent deputy chief, and in the late thirties, two additional deputy chiefs were added, namely, the deputy chief of the air force of the General Staff and the deputy chief of the Navy of the General Staff, both of whom were senior generals with the rank of lieutenant general, mainly to coordinate the operations of the three services with the general staff.

The reason for this situation is that China has always been a continental country, and from the beginning to the present, the army has always been the main body, even in 1942, and the air force and navy can even be said to cooperate with the army.

Among the three armed forces, the navy has a stronger reading power, while the air force has always been difficult to get rid of the influence of the army. However, in recent years, the Chinese Air Force has vigorously developed strategic bombing, and to a certain extent, the Air Force is trying to get rid of the previous impression of "supporting army operations" and turn to a strategic air force with read-ability combat capabilities.

At present, China is dominated by the army, and although Chen Yi, the chief of staff, is an army general, he is thinking about the strategic issue of the whole country, so he thinks of bombing the US mainland with nuclear bombs, but Guan Shijie is a pure naval general.

When he saw the explosion of the nuclear bomb, what he thought of was not the bombing of the US mainland, but the imagination that when the Chinese and US navies had a decisive battle at sea in the future, if his own navy could throw such a nuclear bomb on the head of the US fleet, wouldn't it be a chance to win?

Thinking of this possible surname, Guan Shijie immediately asked Qian Sanqiang next to him: "How many nuclear bombs do you have now?" When will it be able to be mass-produced, our navy will not need much, and it will be enough to have a few dozen pieces at that time! ”

When Qian Sanqiang heard that Guan Shijie opened his mouth to see dozens of pieces, his face turned a little red, and he took a deep breath before saying: "It took us more than ten years to make two, and now that one has been tested, there is only one left!" As for mass production, it is not yet possible! ”

Qian Sanqiang continued: "If the investment continues to increase and all kinds of supporting facilities can keep up, five pieces a year is also the limit, but with so many resources invested, it is estimated that there will be no money to build warships in your navy!" ”

In recent years, nuclear bombs have been piled up with money, and theoretical research and development has not cost much money, but the money spent on the process of production, especially enriched uranium; with China's current technological capabilities, it has spent countless huge sums of money to establish and hold a uranium enrichment plant to produce the amount of two nuclear bombs, and it is still very difficult to get dozens of them with the current technology.

Guan Shijie was depressed when he heard it, how could such a good thing be so difficult to make!

At the same time that Guan Shijie was depressed, Chen Jingyun on the other side was also talking to Wu Youxun: "Your research has made a breakthrough in history, the success of the nuclear bomb is enough to make us invincible, and in the future, your job is to increase the production of nuclear bombs, don't be afraid of spending resources, I will let various departments cooperate with you, and the miniaturization of nuclear bombs should be accelerated, as long as the nuclear bomb is miniaturized before it can be loaded with rockets!" ”

In the entire nuclear bomb project, not only the research and development and production of nuclear bombs, but also the research and development of missiles are also part of the nuclear bomb project, because missiles are the carriers of nuclear bombs, and the two are used together. If missiles cannot be used, you will have to rely on bombers of ultra-long aviation.

Wu Youxun said: The difficulty of miniaturizing a nuclear bomb is still relatively large, but our staff has been working hard and should be able to successfully miniaturize a nuclear bomb before the Ministry of Aerospace develops a strategic rocket! ”

"Well, now the research and development of rockets should almost come to fruition!" Chen Jingyun asked.

Wu Youxun said: "The research and development of the rocket is currently progressing smoothly! Then he beckoned, and then said to a person: "Qian Xuesen, tell me about the situation of your rocket!" ”

Qian Xuesen said: "Now the progress of our rocket department is still very fast, last month we have test-fired a rocket with a range of 300 kilometers, although the final landing point deviation is a little large, but for the purpose of carrying nuclear bombs, the deviation of several hundred meters is not large. Now we are developing a rocket with a larger range based on the successful rocket engine, and it is expected that we will be able to conduct a test launch in the middle of the year, and once we can succeed, then we will be able to design a two-stage rocket or even a three-stage rocket on this stage of rocket, and eventually increase the range of the rocket to more than 5,000 kilometers! ”

At present, the research and development of the rocket department is mainly based on the research and development of rocket fuel and rocket engine, because rockets are the same as airplanes, and their foundation is still in the engine, as long as the engine design is successful, then the rocket can be designed according to the engine.

Chen Jingyun nodded and said: "Yes, but the progress of your rocket research and development should be accelerated, and try to succeed in the development in the shortest possible time!" ”

The research and development progress of the rocket is somewhat delayed, but this delay is also because of the general environment, at present, human aerospace science and technology is still at a very primitive level, China has at least successfully tested a missile with a range of 300 kilometers, and in addition to China, there is also a rocket research and development of Germany, is still struggling in the research and development of the V-type rocket, as for other countries, there is no plan for research and development.

Relatively speaking, China's missile research and development is still at the most advanced level in the world, and it is already moving towards breaking through the range of 1,000 kilometers.

In addition, in the research and development of missiles, there are also many sub-developments of missiles, although the missile research and development in the entire nuclear bomb project is based on the nuclear bomb carrier as the core goal, but the missile technology is universal.

It can be said that the plan to develop a nuclear bomb carrier rocket has directly led to the development of China's conventional missiles, and when Guan Shijie of the Navy on the side heard that there is such a thing, he immediately became interested and asked: "I wonder if this missile can be charged with conventional charges and then carry out an anti-ship attack?" ”

Qian Xuesen next to him said: "Theoretically, it is possible, if you want to attack the enemy's moving target, then you only need a guidance system." ”

Qian Xuesen said this, and then after thinking about it, he said: "If your navy wants to use it, the range is too far to use, and the range of 50 kilometers is enough, if the distance is close enough, then you can use the radar on the warship to guide, and the missile itself can not be equipped with a detection and search system, if the distance is too far for the warship to guide, then you need to install a detection and guidance system on the missile." In this regard, there is mainly a limitation on detecting targets and guiding attacks, and our missiles themselves can meet this demand. ”

As long as the rocket engine is powerful enough, it can carry nuclear bombs, conventional charges and even launch satellites, and the trade-offs between range and load are relatively simple, and now Qian Xuesen's rocket department is even testing missiles with a range of thousands of kilometers, and it is not a trivial matter to get a rocket with a range of several tens of kilometers for the navy!

But now the problem is not the carrying capacity of the rocket, but the question of how the rocket hits the target, and this problem is not a big problem for nuclear bombing, because the missile carrying the nuclear bomb adopts a fixed trajectory, even if there is a deviation, but the deviation distance is acceptable even if it is a few thousand meters, after all, if a nuclear bomb is thrown over, who cares about the deviation of the hit of several thousand meters. However, it is not possible for conventional missiles, and it is not easy for the navy to attack enemy warships with missiles, because the opponent is a target for high-speed maneuvering, and cannot use a fixed trajectory, but needs to maneuver constantly. And here you need a system of detection and guidance.

Qian Xuesen continued: "In terms of detection and guidance, we need the help of other domestic enterprises! ”

Guan Shijie said: "So, there is no problem with this rocket itself?" ”

Qian Xuesen nodded: "The problem is not a big deal, as long as you can solve the problem of detection and guidance, you can make a rocket with a range of tens of kilometers and a range of hundreds of kilometers!" ”

Guan Shijie smiled when he heard this: "That's good, that's good, you can leave this thing to Hanzhong Electronics Company or Fule Electric, they are still relatively strong in doing this, and now the plane can hit the radar, and it can't be installed on the rocket!" ”

Guan Shijie is now wishful thinking, in his opinion, now the aircraft can be equipped with radar, and the navy has even modified some bombers, equipped with radar, and then the most radar early warning aircraft are used. However, he did not know that although China's radar technology has been relatively mature and perfect, but limited by the limitations of the entire era, radar technology still has a lot of defects, not to mention the large radars equipped on warships, and those radars that can be installed on airplanes have a very limited detection range, and it is impossible to guide aircraft to fight. It is not the kind of early warning aircraft that people often say in later generations can guide dozens of aircraft to directly engage in air combat.

It is not an ordinary difficulty to install a radar system on a small rocket.

Guan Shijie is not a technician in the end, he just thinks about it from the operational perspective of the navy, thinking that if his navy has such a thing as missiles, even if the range is not too far, only a few tens of kilometers, then it will be enough, and when the time comes, he will install these missiles on his own cruisers and destroyers, and when he sees the enemy's battleships, he will shoot a few shots, and when the time comes, looking at the global oceans, who else will be the opponent of the Chinese navy?

Seeing that Guan Shijie was a little excited, Qian Xuesen felt the need to remind Guan Shijie: "Guan Lao, it is still difficult to install a radar system on this rocket!" ”

Guan Shijie didn't care about this, he was already thinking in his heart, after finishing today's trip, he would immediately ask the Navy to issue R&D contracts to several domestic companies, so that they could come up with finished products as soon as possible!

After inspecting the nuclear bomb base in the northwest, Chen Jingyun quickly left the nuclear bomb engineering base and then continued to Central Asia and Siberia in the northwest.

There is nothing more satisfying than personally setting foot on the territory after opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and not long ago, Chen Jingyun and others also watched the explosion test of the nuclear bomb, not only Chen Jingyun, but also Chen Yi and Guan Shijie were also extremely excited.

Of course, the nuclear bomb project is China's most top-secret project, and Chen Jingyun has personally instructed Chen Yi and Guan Shijie not to leak this news, so in addition to the scientists in the nuclear bomb project, only Chen Jingyun, Chen Yi and Guan Shijie know that China has successfully exploded a nuclear bomb.

Outside of China, the United States, Germany, and even Britain and Ben all have their own atomic bomb programs, but now they have already given up the development of the atomic bomb, and Germany has also given up because of many difficulties, and Britain's nuclear bomb research and development have all been merged with the United States.

In order to delay the development of nuclear bombs in the United States, China's foreign intelligence agency, that is, the Military Intelligence Department, has already assassinated key scientists in the United States, in fact, since Chen Jingyun took charge of China, there have been assassinations of foreign scientists, and many famous ones have been killed, but then Chen Jingyun tragically discovered that he killed A scientist, but another B scientist appeared in the family, and the killing did not affect the progress of the entire Western scientific community.

Because in scientific research, many inventions have been precipitated by a deep foundation before they burst out, that is to say, everything is already there, and all that is missing is that a few people will take the lead in replacing him. Many physical inventions are different from those purely theoretical research, theoretical research is at the forefront of human development, such as Einstein, to be honest, some of his theoretical surname research is a long-term surname influence, for World War II did not have a direct effect, and the theoretical basis of those physical inventions presented in World War II has been set decades ago.

Chen Jingyun also thought about killing Einstein, but then he felt that it was really unnecessary, so forget it, in recent years, please take revenge on the scientists who have been assassinated mainly in nuclear physics or aerospace, especially those scientists who are engaged in nuclear physics, but they have been killed a lot by the intelligence department, and the United States has become nervous, and now those important scientists have been protected, so that the intelligence department can not find a chance to assassinate.

However, this has also greatly delayed the development of nuclear bombs in other countries in the world, especially the United States, and it is impossible to completely stop them.
