Chapter 800 This thing works best
Run away quickly, the crew has done the best they can.
Since the bomb is working fine, the plane must move quickly. If it moves too slowly, the bomb will be working fine, but the plane may not be working properly.
The bomb was falling and the plane was moving forward at a rapid speed. At this time, the command center also received a report that the bomb had been dropped.
Let the bomb fly a little longer.
From the bombing height to the detonation height, it takes about 40 seconds for the bomb to fall. The comrades were waiting anxiously, and these 40 seconds seemed as long as 40 hours.
At this moment, the relativity of time is fully reflected here.
Just as the Tu-16 was moving forward rapidly, in the center of the desert, at exactly 10 o'clock in the morning, a bright light suddenly appeared and lasted for several seconds.
It was so bright that even the sunshades pulled down by the comrades seemed useless.
A few months later, people once again saw the mushroom cloud standing in the center of the desert, rising up.
This time everyone had experience and confidence, and all comrades jumped up without waiting for the test data to arrive.
"Success!"
"Success!"
"..."
Light radiation, mushroom cloud, if we were not sure it was a nuclear explosion just by looking at these things during the first test, then by now, our comrades who already had experience cheered directly.
If missiles and nuclear bombs are still being combined with guns and bullets, then now at least the Air Force's gun can use this bullet.
Even though bombers fly slowly, for the enemy, it makes a big difference whether you have them or not. As every major country knows, air defense is not very reliable. As long as you have this capability, others will have to be on guard.
As for air defense, I think the young man who flew a plane directly into the Red Square in West Hans would have a lot to say.
Although it was a civilian low-speed aircraft with excellent low-altitude and low-speed performance, and its radar reflection area was not very large...but no matter what the reason, let's just say that he didn't fly.
Even the Russians' main air defense direction is in such a state, let alone other directions.
As for other countries, most of them are not as good as the Russians. To some extent, there is nothing wrong with the saying that the world is a huge makeshift team.
The news of our first successful airdrop nuclear explosion test quickly spread upward from airplanes, bases, command centers, and other places, level by level. Wherever it went, people were excited.
In the underground bunker of the desert base, several comrades looked at the black mushroom cloud in the distance and turned their heads to say, "The airdrop has been completed, but this is more focused on deterrence. If a war really breaks out, the penetration capability is not enough. We should also work harder on the combination of our two bombs."
Most of the planes carrying nuclear bombs flying around in the sky, including the Russians and the Americans, are not mainly used for attack, but for deterrence. This is also the most flexible and visible to the enemy among the "sea, land and air" trinity, but with the weakest penetration capability in terms of current technical means.
At least this was the case before air-launched ballistic missiles matured. Aircraft and ballistic missiles were inherently weak in terms of penetration capability.
If we really want to make the enemy feel a sense of crisis and fear, we need the trinity of sea, land and air, and none of them can be missing.
Another comrade also nodded: "Don't mention that you are working on the combination of two bombs. We are all considering whether to launch a medium- and long-range carrier rocket first."
A comrade said thoughtfully: "You are afraid..." He pointed to the north.
"I didn't say anything, haha." The comrade laughed.
"The timing is not right yet. We are still developing a launch vehicle with a range of more than 3500 kilometers. There is no point in firing one now. Moreover, before the two missiles can be reliably combined, it would be a bit irritating to only come up with a 3500-kilometer range missile. It is totally unnecessary."
If the two missiles cannot be combined, a 3500-kilometer missile alone would be a provocation to others. But if the two missiles can be reliably combined, it would be an important means of maintaining peace.
"Yes, that makes sense. Let's work harder, at least until you can reliably combine the two missiles. Then we can reach a range of more than 3500 kilometers."
This is equivalent to the simultaneous launch of a 1700-kilometer nuclear missile and a 3500-kilometer launch vehicle. The 3500-kilometer launch vehicle can actually be used to launch low-orbit satellites. Our earliest launch vehicles were of this level. Although these two things are separate, they are not the same thing in the eyes of others.
Having the technology to combine the two bombs and having a launch vehicle with a range of more than 3500 kilometers means, rounding it off, that we have nuclear missiles with a range of more than 3500 kilometers. Everyone can do the math.
"Well, come on! At least now we have the ability to completely suppress the surrounding villains." Although the Tu-16 is not too large, with a range of 3 kilometers and carrying 6000 tons of bombs, it is still extremely deterrent to neighboring countries.
At 4 p.m. that day, our national news agency officially announced the news to the world.
"At 10 o'clock this morning, our country's first air-dropped atomic bomb test was successful. The atomic bomb was dropped accurately and the nuclear bomb was successfully detonated at the predetermined height. The explosion equivalent was consistent with the design equivalent."
Gao Zhendong heard the news on the radio. At that time, he was working while listening to the radio. When he heard "at ten o'clock this morning", he was stunned. Generally, this kind of start means that something very important has happened.
Before he could figure out what it was, an atomic bomb hit him on the head.
He dropped the work in his hands and turned to flip through the calendar on the desk. He was used to using flip-page calendars and didn't like the tear-page ones, so he could write down a lot of things on the calendar.
I flipped the calendar back to January, and on a calendar at the beginning of January, it was clearly written "Miss Qiu is getting married."
Counting on my fingers, it has been just over 5 months so far.
"Cool!!!"
Gao Zhendong clenched his fists, waved them in the air and shouted.
Looking back, it was originally more than 7 months, and now it is more than 5 months, which doesn’t seem too exaggerated. But no matter what, I have been working on it for so long, and it is effective.
Gao Zhendong was looking forward to it. With this thing, some things would change. At least it was an opportunity and one of the important conditions for achieving the goal. At least for enemies who feared power but not morality, this thing would be really useful.
On that day, the Japanese were also the first to receive a special notice from us. The content of the notice was basically the same as the last time, except for the event itself which was changed. It was probably modified from the last manuscript.
Although there has been a public announcement, it is still necessary to maintain this special care. Look, we haven't forgotten you. We also know that you have eaten two of these. We are really worried about your safety and physical and mental health.
In response to our good intentions, the Japanese did not make any comments except for the usual responses. The main reason is that it is not easy to express opinions on this matter. Saying that you are not worried? That is a lie. Taking it for granted? It seems not so good either.
But including them, the Japanese and the Koreans all made the same move. They began to evaluate the effectiveness of their air force and began to ask the Americans to strengthen the air force deployed in their own country, especially the long-range interception capability.
The Citigroups were in a lot of trouble. They knew very well that it would be even harder to deal with the Orientals with this thing because it was so big! The Citigroups dared to sell nuclear missiles to John Bull. In addition to the special relationship between them as father and son, the fact that the nuclear button of nuclear weapons was actually in the hands of the Citigroups was an important reason. Another reason was that John Bull's homeland was too small. Even if they threw this thing at each other, John Bull would not be able to beat anyone.
"Commander, the Easterners are becoming more aggressive and aggressive."
"General, do we need to launch a rapid strike against them to dismember their nuclear forces?"
"Mr. Commander, this is very difficult. Their nuclear power base is deep inland. We simply don't have the ability to strike that place."
If we use conventional forces, the general knows very well that we couldn't even attack the peninsula back then, so how could we attack someone else's homeland? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Don't we have nuclear missiles, General?"
"Mr. Commander, if we use nuclear missiles, we must consider the reaction of the White Bear. Even if we explain that these missiles are aimed at the Orientals, the White Bear may not think so."
"Besides, that country is huge. We can't actually kill them. It's already hard enough for us to deal with the white bear. If we provoke such a huge and tough opponent at the nuclear strategic level, it will be very dangerous for us. It's easy for us to maintain nuclear balance, but once this balance is broken, we will always be in danger. The other side will use all means to retaliate against us. To some extent, although they can't hit our nuclear missiles, if we strike their nuclear bases first, it means they can use all weapons and vehicles to retaliate against us, including civilian ships, submarines, etc. This is a Pandora's box."
For the Citigroups, there is no way to effectively strike our nuclear capabilities except using nuclear missiles. If nuclear missiles are used, the nature of the situation will change. They don’t know whether others are happy or not, but at least they know that the Russians will be extremely happy.
"Then we can go through the League of Nations..." The leader of the Citigroup suddenly couldn't continue. League of Nations? What's the point of that? People are not involved.
Only at this time did they deeply realize how inconvenient it was to allow a super big guy, especially a big guy with extremely high fighting power, to be outside the system.
