Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-24

Michael's expression as he swallowed his saliva was quite eye-catching.

It was as if such a high level of technology could not be possible in a country that could not produce even a single missile.

However, I had a precision guidance technology made up of semiconductors and sensors that was trusted around the world, and it can be applied not only to 155mm but also to 5-inch gun shells.

[If you hit a moving target, it also has a guidance function, but the catalog you sent me didn't mention that.]

[I'm sorry about that. For security reasons, we couldn't reveal the core functions until they were released. As a side note, that shell is laser-guided as an option. or, in the air and on the ground. And guidance by maritime detection radar is possible.]

[··········.]

Michael looked at me with an excited expression.

why not

If true, it wouldn't be strange to call it a missile.

In fact, the future is rockets and missiles. And breaking down the boundaries of cannonballs was not a big deal for me because it was the current flowing in the arms market, but it must have been a shock to people of this era.

[I'll give you some guidance. The event is being delayed for a while due to the late arrival of some guests.]

At that time, the announcement of the event was suddenly announced through an announcement in the hall.

Some of the invited guests were all seated.

When I looked towards the entrance of the venue with a curious mind, an American general in a uniform was walking while being escorted by the military police.

“How is Captain Jeffrey here?”

The first to recognize him was Lee Dong-wook, deputy commander of the Combined Forces Command.

At those words, he glanced at the man's shoulder and had as many as four stars hanging on his shoulder.

As if I wasn't the only one who saw it, the people around me started to roar all at once.

[Long time no see. Deputy Commander Lee Dong-wook.]

[Did the Chief of Staff not have much to do?]

General Lee Dong-wook, who hurriedly approached the mysterious US military, greeted him for a long time.

In the meantime, Michael, who quickly joined the group, followed after him and had a conversation with him, then looked in the direction I was in.

[Mr. Jin!]

Michael beckoned to me as I was standing still.

The moment he approached through the crowd, Michael introduced his man with an expression as if announcing the return of the king.

[This is Captain Jeffrey, Chief of the U.S. Navy Chief of Staff.]

[Hello, this is Jin Hyun-seung, the head of policy at Jauthales.]

As soon as the introduction was over, he almost reflexively raised his hand.

Captain Jeffrey, who had an impressive smile, looked at me for a long time without letting go of his clasped hands.

[··········.]

[Ah! Sorry. I never thought that I was such a young person.]

[I didn't think the president was this young either.]

It wasn't the words that came out of his mouth.

From the outside, he looks a lot younger than Lieutenant General Michael.

In fact, it is not easy for a person who had to deal with the sea breeze that has been woven throughout his life to look that young.

[It's good to hear even greetings. By the way, the Minister of the Navy was originally supposed to come, but due to an unavoidable circumstance, I came. We ask for your understanding as the reason for not contacting us in advance was due to security concerns.]

Then he glanced at Michael.

It's hard to know how to explain this situation.

In the end, he chose to confide in the truth.

[Actually, this project of Jauthales was also being watched by the US Navy. Because of that, when the invitation to attend the event came, the Minister of the Navy decided to participate.]

It was my intention in the first place to attract the attention of the US Navy.

Need to meet demand.

From the thought that the US Navy, who already felt the need for smart shells for guns, would be interested in it.

But I didn't know the level of interest would be this high.

To say the least, the Chief of Naval Chief of Staff was also planning to fly directly to the Minister of the Navy in a burdensome field.

"Hmm······."

At that time, the fact that the final decision maker of the US Navy's arms import was the Navy Secretary suddenly came to mind.

But did a being with such a powerful authority want to directly observe our weapons demonstration?

This feels like a little bit of hope.

[Come on, let's put the deep story aside for a bit and focus on the event first.]

Captain Jeffrey cleared up the cluttered atmosphere as if he was the main character of the event.

At the same time, the gun barrel was holding the angle and waiting for my signal.

After checking that people were putting their butts on their chairs again, I raised the hand signal and the hall was heard again.

[The impact point of the shells that will be launched soon is a military shooting test site in Ganghwa Island. Guests can watch the scene through the prepared screen.]

“You are starting.”

Captain Lee Dong-wook spoke softly.

bang!

A gun barrel that breathes fire with the sound of an earth-shaft momentarily.

After that, the eyes of those who remembered the broadcast guide turned to the screen at once.

Coogong!

Shortly after, a shell that flew a whopping 100 kilometers was guided by a nearby laser irradiator and hit the top of the test vehicle being towed.

top attack.

It is an attack method targeting the turret of the tank with the weakest armor, but the vehicle itself was completely disassembled and fragments were scattered in all directions as the target was a poor passenger car.

[··········.]

At a glance, Captain Jeffrey's expression hardened.

It's like he's trying not to get caught.

However, whether it would be hidden, the fingers that were clenching at an exceptionally fast speed were representing his excitement.

[Part 2 is in preparation.]

Shortly after, the self-propelled artillery, which had been reloaded with an announcement, blew out fire again.

bang bang!

3 shots total.

It also looks like it fires with a time difference by controlling the angle of the barrel.

A flagship burst out of Michael's mouth as if he knew the reason.

[Are you trying to hit the same spot?]

[That's right.]

Bubbly!

The location where the three shells fell was directly above the vehicle that had just been crushed to dust.

That is clear evidence that proves that the error of communism is extremely limited.

Embarrassed, Captain Jeffrey swished towards Michael and turned his head.

[How far is it from there?]

[100 kilometers.]

[Then it's almost the range of a short-range missile!]

[That's it. That is what our Ministry of National Defense paid attention to in the first place. Moreover, that destructive power is really not as good as a short-range missile, right?]

It was a sharp point.

Reinforcement of firepower is essential to replace missiles with small shells.

Fortunately, the world-class gunpowder manufacturer, Jauthales, had a technology for producing explosives that was three times more explosive than before, and I introduced the gunpowder into that shell.

[Yeah, with that kind of firepower, definitely....]

Captain Jeffrey didn't try to hide his emotions unlike the first.

But I'm still surprised.

Things that may interest you will appear from now on.

[Shortly after, testing of smart shells for 5-inch guns will follow. All guests, please keep your eyes on the screen.]

Another announcement sounded and the screen changed.

The place that appeared on the screen this time was the sea off Jinhae.

Soon after, the camera started to illuminate the destroyer, and the 5-inch guns of the Eulji Mundok found the entered coordinates and turned.

glance.

I looked at Captain Jeffrey for a moment.

He kept his mouth shut and showed such a high level of concentration that he did not know who died next to him.

Bang bang bang!

A total of five smart shells were fired from the guns.

The target was a barge in the East Sea, about 100 kilometers away.

Bubbly!

Again, a little later, the containers piled up for testing began to explode one after another with a little time lag.

[How can the explosive power of only 127mm shells...]

Captain Jeffrey, who secretly swallowed my saliva, looked at me with wide eyes.

He rubbed his neck for a moment and then made eye contact with him.

[Did I not tell you? That shell is loaded with gunpowder that has three times the explosive power of the original at the same mass. Perhaps that's enough to catch up with the firepower of a small short-range missile.]

[Anyway, why did you dare to speak?]

[This is to show the advantages that missiles cannot have.]

[Advantages that missiles cannot have?]

[Isn't it really a waste to use multiple missiles for a single target like that? But I have shown that it is possible with shells.]

[So, to show that volume tactics are possible?](Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Jeffrey looked like he understood.

But, except for him, all of our military personnel are still looking blankly.

This time it was a detailed explanation for them.

“As you all know, the defense system of a destroyer is divided into two main categories. anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft guns. However, it is a defense system that assumes anti-ship missiles and aircraft flying everywhere, and it is virtually unreasonable to block all the countless precision-guided shells that fly at three times the speed of sound.”

[Three times the speed of sound? Did you raise the muzzle speed of the shells that much?]

Suddenly, Captain Jeffrey intervened.

It wasn't that I didn't know Korean very well.

No, if you look at the key points and ask yourself, your Korean might be better than I expected.

[In order to break through the double bulkhead of a destroyer, simply increasing the performance of the explosives does not solve the problem. In the end, it is said that kinetic energy is the key, and to maximize that, we have developed a new charge.]

“Then the game is practically over. It's like pouring supersonic missiles at a rate of 20 rounds per minute, but how can you defend against that? Even if it is a subsonic missile, it is difficult in the field. Perhaps that would be hard to stop even an Aegis ship.”

Director Lee Dong-wook, who was listening, added an explanation in Korean as if he was trying to be considerate of the people around him.

As soon as the military officials who finally understood, nodded, Captain Jeffrey grabbed my sleeve and asked.

[I'm just saying this just in case, is it possible to extend the range than it is now?]

[Raptan. In other words, improving the performance of the auxiliary propulsion rocket would be sufficient. Since development is currently underway, it will be possible to increase the maximum range to 120 km in about two months.]

[Is there room for further improvement in the field that is still showing several times better performance than the existing Raptan?]

[You seem to have misunderstood, but the rap bullets mounted on the intelligent shells we developed are conventional. Nevertheless, the reason for the longer range is thanks to the dramatic improvement in muzzle speed and glide ability. So, of course, there is room for improvement in the performance of Raptan.]

[··········.]

[Anyway, if even the rap ammunition is improved, it will be a real bonus for the US Navy. It can not only serve as a short-range supersonic anti-ship missile, but it can also hit ground targets, so it can support super-horizon amphibious operations.]

A familiar expression appeared on Captain Jeffrey's face as he was listening.

greed.

That's the expression Michael showed when we were discussing the export issue of the old armor-piercing rounds.

As soon as he started to wonder if it would be okay to be optimistic about the export potential, he made a startling remark.

[Actually, we have already asked for the understanding of the Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff before entering the country.]

[what······.]

[If the smart shells developed by Jauthales meet the performance requirements of the US Navy, please give them export approval... But it seems that the performance requirements have already been exceeded.]

[··········.]

[In that sense, I think we should have a serious conversation after the event is over.]
