Great Power Technology

"Deactivate all nuclear bombs? What do you mean? Are you going to use large-scale neutron jamming, or are you going to invade the doomsday system?"

Chen Hao did not expect Jace to give such an unexpected answer. In their previous guesses, although they considered that the other party might use "extended deterrence" as a bargaining chip in negotiations, the means to realize this acre of land were mostly limited to The field of sociology - this is also the field in which the Hermetic Organization excels.

They never expected that they would actually put forward such a condition that far exceeded the limit of their own imagination.

From the earphones, Chen Hao immediately learned the plan for the line of sight goal, but in fact, those plans could only remain theoretical. Take neutron interference as an example. Ultra-high energy neutrino beams will indeed They interact with surrounding matter and produce a large number of hadrons. These high-energy hadrons can indeed cause the atomic bomb to explode or melt ineffectively. However, the energy required to accelerate the neutrino beam to a speed sufficient to cause damage to the nuclear bomb is also Extremely terrifying.

You can't say that the other party has already built a large-scale movable particle accelerator, right?

If there really is such technology, human beings are not far away from lifting up the neighboring civilizations and beating them up, and then starting a fucking internal fight.

As for invading the doomsday system, it sounds a bit more reliable, but no matter which country, the doomsday system is physically isolated, with multiple artificial verification levels set up, a system that even RSA decryption technology cannot break, Hermes How can an organization do this?

Unless they can instigate more than 50% of the nodes’ executors in the system.

Again, if it can really be done, the Hermes Organization might as well just take over the political power of the Ugly Country.

Seeing Chen Hao's unbelievable expression, Jess smiled and replied:

"Of course we will not plan an operation as large as what you said - in fact, we do not have that much energy to plan such an operation."

"As I mentioned before, our goal is just to extend deterrence for 18 months, so just make their nuclear counterattack system unavailable for 18 months."

"There are many ways to achieve this goal, and the easiest one we can think of is to let them enter a comprehensive overhaul."

"A comprehensive overhaul of the bomb itself, the doomsday systems, and the personnel."

"How to do it?"

Chen Hao continued to ask.

"We will detonate a nuclear bomb inside Ugly Country."

Jace replied calmly.

"Detonate a nuclear bomb? Are you kidding me?! If you really do this, it will be the beginning of the destruction of the world!"

At this time, Chen Hao could no longer control his expression. He looked at Jace with half anger and half surprise, questioning the other person's madness without hesitation.

This is an obvious thing. If a nuclear bomb really explodes in the United States, whether it is due to an accident, a human-operated accident, or a specific destructive action, they will regard it as a serious invasion of their own country. Then, a comprehensive nuclear counterattack will be launched immediately.

At that time, the whole world will be dragged into hell.

Who will listen to your explanation?

After the nuclear bomb exploded, could the Ugly people still have the patience to sit down and listen to the members of the Hermes Organization explain, "Ah, this was just an accident," "It was a mistake in the personnel operation," "It was the imperfect system that caused the nuclear bomb. Expired"?

Don't even think about asking them to enter a comprehensive overhaul stage because of this - they won't do overhauls, they will just shoot out all the nuclear bombs in their hands and use saturation attacks to verify the reliability of these destructive weapons.

Looking at Chen Hao's expression, Jess suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Chen Hao, relax...we are not as stupid as we look."

"--At least, we are not stupid enough to actually detonate a nuclear weapon with great destructive power."

"The detonation I am talking about should actually be called an explosion. You know, the detonation of a nuclear bomb requires extremely stringent conditions. If the position of the detonator shifts extremely slightly, then the nuclear bomb cannot be detonated - at most It’s just the explosives on the periphery that exploded.”

"Even with the current sealing technology, if we can control the yield of the explosion, even a nuclear leak will not occur."

"In this case, to the ugly military, this is just a small, insignificant accident - but the more insignificant it is, the more they must pay attention to it."

"The more peacetime it is, the less they can afford minor problems with key weapons, right?"

Chen Hao nodded silently. Now he clearly realized that the Hermes Organization was indeed more than just crazy.

In fact, what they adhere to is a kind of madness ruled by absolute rationality.

If we use a more vivid example, they are probably like a group of warriors with superb swordsmanship. In order to achieve maximum lethality, they took off their heavy armor directly on the battlefield.

In anyone's opinion, it is unwise to expose oneself to the rain of arrows. However, they are able to walk on the edge of life and death, relying on the most extreme operations, using flexibility and movement to reach far beyond the battlefield. Average speed to achieve maximum damage.

This can simply be called an art.

——

However, even so, their proposed plan still has loopholes.

The first is how to detonate that key nuclear bomb at a suitable opportunity, and the second is how to prevent that key "accident" from being regarded as an "accident."

Thinking of this, Chen Hao asked:

"What are your specific plans?"

"It's very simple. According to intelligence, within the next month, the U.S. military will conduct routine maintenance and inspections of its stockpile of nuclear weapons."

"At that time, many nuclear weapons that have never seen the light of day will be pulled out to bask in the sun, and what we have to do is to let them have accidents while basking in the sun."

"It would be great if it could kill—no, injure one or two senior officers by the way."

Chen Hao keenly captured the key point of Jace's words. His brows furrowed momentarily, and then suddenly opened again.

"So, how many nuclear bombs have you prepared?"

Jess stretched out his hand to make an "OK" gesture and replied:

"Three. If it exceeds this number, then to be honest, there is nothing we can do."

"enough."

Chen Hao thought secretly in his heart.

No matter which country it is, if its nuclear weapons have problems three times in a row, large-scale maintenance will become an inevitable choice - even if such an action will force the country to curb the intensity of its military operations.

18 months, this is Jess’ estimated time for the overhaul to be completed.

From an individual point of view, this is a relatively long time, but for a country, this time is exactly stuck on the standard line for decision-making.

The loss of 18 months seems huge, but... it is just enough to hold on.

This is the plan of the Hermes organization, crazy, cold-blooded, but extremely sophisticated, revealing an almost elegant calmness.

And this plan is obviously not a whim. Most likely, from the moment this organization was born, the leader of this organization, Bruce Conn, has been planning this action.

This is an almost demonic vision. Unfortunately, he did not really choose the same route as Huaxia.

Arrogance and humility, madness and caution, these contradictory qualities are concentrated in the same person.

Arrogance made him ignore the real power from the people, humility made him willing to cooperate with China; madness made him plan and implement many crazy actions, and caution made all these actions successful.

These are formidable allies and honorable enemies.

Chen Hao sighed deeply and finally said:

"We can't make a decision right now."

Jace nodded and replied:

"Yes, of course, I understand. We both need to give each other some time..."

…

At this moment, Ye Zhou was sitting in his office, monitoring all the details of the conversation between Chen Hao and Jace.

He was also shocked by Hermes' crazy plan, but apart from the shock, he also had an indescribable, almost arrogant disdain.

In three months' time, the Golden Crow will take to the sky for its first flight.

By then, do we really need such machinations?
