Annihilation of the solar system

General Chai Shizheng walked quickly in the corridor of the Ministry of National Defense building with an angry look on his face. When he returned to his office, he took off his military cap and remained on his desk as if to vent his anger. He stood by the window and looked at the sky without moving.

, except that you can see the twitching of his facial muscles caused by constantly gritting his teeth, he almost stood there like a statue.

A sudden knock on the door brought him out of that state:

"Come in!"

The person who opened the door and walked in was General Zuo Mingyi, who had participated in the investigation together before. The angry and serious expression on Chai Shizheng's face faded a little, and Zuo Mingyi spoke first:

"Shi Zheng, how was the meeting this time?"

Chai Shizheng clenched his fist and put it down again, and finally sighed:

"Alas! The Earth Defense Alliance military preparation meeting held this time is not as good as the theme class meeting I held when I was at the National Defense University. It was a complete mess!"

Zuo Mingyi, who originally had a smile on his face, also became serious:

"What? Didn't you draw any substantive conclusions?"

Chai Shizheng walked to the sofa and sat down:

"What a bullshit conclusion! More than 200 military officers from North America, Europe, and other countries came to this meeting. The meeting lasted noisily for more than five hours, and basically nothing was discussed. I think

Each one of them is more like a gesture. What time is it, why is there such a fart meeting?"

Chai Shizheng was a little excited, Zuo Mingyi frowned and asked:

"How could this be? Isn't the theme of the meeting discussing military solutions for mainstream earth defense?"

Chai Shizheng adjusted his mood, poured two glasses of water from the water dispenser next to him, and handed one to Zuo Mingyi:

"Most of the plans put forward by those in Europe are to carry out early nuclear strikes on Europa and Titan, and they even come up with their so-called data to support it. Those so-called data almost don't need to be verified to know that they are impossible.

Okay, that can almost be said to be a matter of common sense."

Zuo Yiyi was startled, his eyes filled with anxiety:

"The distance between us and those two satellites is more than ten astronomical units! Let's not talk about the launch cost. Even if the total number of nuclear weapons on the earth is increased by 20 times or 30 times, 1/3 of the cities on the earth will be razed to the ground.

It can't even be done on flat ground. It would take hundreds of nuclear bombs to completely destroy a city of Moscow's level.

If nuclear bombs are to be used to completely destroy life on Europa and Titan, the number of nuclear bombs required is unimaginable. The core raw materials deuterium and tritium may not be a big problem. But the key raw materials for detonating hydrogen bombs, u235 and plutonium 239, will exhaust the earth.

The production capacity is almost impossible to achieve!”

Chai Shizheng said angrily:

"People also say that according to calculations, concentrating the world's nuclear industry production capacity and mass-producing tens of millions of tons of nuclear weapons can wipe out a large number of enemies on those two satellites. What's even more ridiculous is that many of the countries that proposed this plan do not have nuclear weapons at all.

.They really took Auburn Heimer’s famous saying ‘I am the God of Death’ seriously.”

Zuo Yiming shook his head with confusion:

"During the Cold War, in order to flex their muscles, both sides of the hegemony competition conducted research on using nuclear weapons to blow up the moon. The final conclusion was that even if it took decades to exhaust national power, they could only build a larger crater on the moon. In the end,

The research was terminated. How could they come up with such an anti-intellectual plan under such circumstances?

What's more, according to current observation results, the other party will enter the Jupiter-Earth transfer orbit in 4 years. And even if all our nuclear bombs are launched this year, it will take 7-8 years to reach Europa and Titan.

Attacking cannot solve our current problems!"

Chai Shizheng snorted coldly:

"Hmph! If it's not that the people who came to the conference are all academic amateurs, then some countries behind them want to use this plan to master the Sword of Damocles, which allows humans to kill each other."

Zuo Yiming suddenly realized something. His eyes were a little out of focus. He was stunned for a while, and the anxiety in his tone turned into anger:

"General Chai, when you say that, I really feel like that's what happened. Why are they still...!"

In the second half of Zuo Yiming's words, he raised his hand and threw it down fiercely, letting out a deep sigh.

Chai Shizheng shook his head helplessly:

"You said it's okay for the small countries in Europe to stage such a farce. The plan of 'striking in orbit' proposed by Lao Maozi may seem reasonable, but in fact it has other agendas."

Zuo Yiming's eyes widened:

"Lao Maozi is a major military power. What plan do they propose?"

Chai Shizheng snorted with a half-smile:

"Their so-called 'attack in orbit' is to carry out a nuclear strike on the transfer orbit when the alien invaders are flying to the earth. They also came up with a so-called top-secret pre-research plan, using

The nuclear weapon is 'Crazy Ivan' with a yield of 200 million tons."

The disappointed expression on Zuo Yiming's face became even heavier. He looked at the colorful country pattern on the globe on his desk and sighed deeply:

"I don't know whether I should say they are stupid or bad. Nuclear weapons have three main ways of killing: shock waves, thermal radiation and ionizing radiation. Countries with nuclear weapons are all aware of it.

The nuclear explosion fireball we see is the main damage method of nuclear bombs. It is a spherical normal shock wave formed by the explosion energy strongly pushing against the medium, that is, air or water, which is also a detonation wave or shock wave.

However, the universe is a vacuum. There is no medium to form shock waves, so the nuclear weapon exploding in space is just a strong flash of light, and there is no mushroom cloud nuclear fireball on the ground.

The energy of nuclear explosions in space can only be transmitted in the form of thermal radiation and ionizing radiation. Thermal radiation is very unsatisfactory in the low temperature environment of the universe, which is only more than minus 260 degrees. The universe itself is full of various high-energy particles. Since they

If space navigation is possible, the lethal effect of ionizing radiation will be very small."

Chai Shizheng nodded and said calmly:

"Yes, I refuted them on the spot. They also said that wrapping a layer of refrigerant around the nuclear bomb would increase the destructive effect!"

Zuo Yiming was still fiddling with the globe:

"What is the effect of wrapping hundreds of tons of working fluid? No one knows, and no one has done such an experiment. However, with the current space carrying capacity measured in grams, there is no way to launch such a thing into the sky.

What’s even more frightening is that if those alien invaders are not completely eliminated in orbit, they will bring a large amount of radioactive contamination to the surface. By then, I am afraid that without anyone taking action, humans will suffer a large number of casualties due to the ionization they created.

There’s radiation.”

At this time, Zuo Yiming seemed to have thought of something:

"Related to the Meteor Shower plan they proposed before. According to this idea, their real purpose should be to take the initiative in the entire defense plan in order to obtain maximum benefits at the national level."

Chai Shizheng nodded, and the anger on his face receded a little:

"Maybe. Most of the people in Europe are non-nuclear countries. Assuming that they don't have a deep understanding of nuclear weapons and come up with ridiculous plans. Then the old Maozi will never do it. They have made a Tsar bomb with an equivalent of 50 million tons. They

It should be very clear that if nuclear weapons are taken to space, that will not be the case."

Chai Shizheng stood up and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window without saying a word. The anger on his face had almost dissipated, and what was left was just as gloomy as the sky at that moment. Zuo Mingyi took a sip of water, put down his cup and walked to Chai Shizheng's side to watch too.

Looking at the low dark clouds in the sky outside the window:

"Hundreds of years ago, when the prosperous Aztec civilization faced a small but elite Spanish colonizers. If the tribes hadn't betrayed each other for their own immediate selfish interests, I think the situation in America might be different now.

.When human beings have not faced a real crisis for too long, the primitive fighting nature of animals has taken over. You have to see the coffin board to shed tears."

"I'm afraid it's too late when we see the coffin board. We can't bear the responsibility for the survival of mankind." Chai Shizheng turned to look at Zuo Yiming beside him, with a rare trace of sadness in his eyes, and he continued:

"Moreover, the fire is now imminent, and the charcoal fire is falling on the feet. It is no exaggeration to say that the coffin boards are already closing, and they are still focused on engaging in these intrigues... Sigh...

.!”

Zuo Mingyi still looked at the dark clouds in the distance:

"Absolute democracy will indeed become a stumbling block to human survival at this time."

The two stood in silence for a while, then Zuo Mingyi walked back to the sofa and sat down:

"Did you spend five or six hours just ranting about nuclear weapons?"

Chai Shizheng also returned to the sofa and sat down, feeling calmer:

"Not entirely, at least on the issue of ground defense, the opinions are relatively unified. The vast majority of representatives believe that the space defense plan cannot completely eliminate alien invaders. Based on the preliminary conclusions drawn from the current observation data, we

What we will face in the future will be very large and intensive invasions on a global scale."

Zuo Yiyi suddenly thought of something, his heart tightened, he turned around and said:

"I consulted Xiaoxia's team in this regard a few days ago. You have met her, the young man who met at the underground civil defense fortification last time. They don't know much about it so far, and their conclusions are similar to yours. But one thing is certain, the quantity

It is extremely large and will be global in scale. It may reach the ground by orbital airdrop. If that is the case, our current military system will not be applicable."

Chai Shizheng nodded and said:

"Well, I remember. The girl named Xia last time seemed to be Dean Xia's daughter. If their speculation is correct, our existing military system does need to be changed.

Our anti-aircraft missiles are designed for expensive and rare fighter bombers. If you want to use them to fight a swarm of locusts, it will be no problem. It’s just that all the missiles in the world may be used up, and only a small part of the locusts will be wiped out.”

A rare smile appeared on Zuo Yiming's gloomy face:

"General Chai is not only a strategic expert, he is also very good at equipment. In one sentence, he got the idea right. Our current tanks, supersonic fighter jets, aircraft carriers, guided missile destroyers, nuclear submarines and other main battle weapons that can kill each other may all be

It is not suitable to participate in the decisive battle in more than ten years. We must adjust and improve our combat system according to the enemy's situation."

Chai Shizheng also relaxed his tense face, smiled and waved his hands:

"Don't call me by my military rank. We have the same military rank, we are working together now, and we are likely to work together for a long time in the future. I may be a few years older than you, so just call me Lao Chai."

Zuo Yiming chuckled:

"Then it's up to you, Brother Chai! By the way, have you reported the meeting to your superiors?"

Chai Shizheng put down the cup he was holding and said seriously:

"I went directly to report after getting off the plane. The minister of defense and the supreme leader listened to the report together. Their opinions were similar to what we just said.

It will definitely not work if we continue to make noise like this. They will ask EDA to establish a small-scale decision-making leadership organization similar to the United Nations Security Council. If we continue to figure out the main form of large-scale discussion meetings like this, I am afraid that we will not be able to come up with anything when the doomsday is really approaching.

Come with a decent plan."

An expression of relief appeared on Zuo Yiming's face:

"Fortunately, people with heavy weapons are still rational. In this case, we don't have to worry so much about trivial matters. We can concentrate on doing our jobs and do our best for the decisive battle that will determine the fate of mankind in the future.

We must make the most complete and unapologetic preparations. If our blood needs to be shed on the battlefield against aggression, it will be considered as fulfilling our duty as soldiers."
