Chapter 104: Big Deal
"How can we beat this?"
Bai Zhen and Wang Ning were both a little surprised.
"Yeah, how can we defeat them?" Zhao Bowen picked up the water from the coffee table and drank it, not caring who it belonged to. "But they don't care so much, whether the Black Moon is alien or something else, they just do it. You don't know how much these people have done secretly. The plan they came up with is terrifying. They want to deploy nuclear bombs in orbit in advance, just like laying out a minefield, and wait for the Black Moon to come and blow it up. The initial estimate is that the first batch of deployment plans will require the release of 12,000 nuclear bombs."
"You didn't convince them?" Bai Zhen asked, "Where's your eloquence?"
"I'm not Zhuge Liang, how can I argue with the scholars of Jiangdong?" Old Zhao shook his head. "This is the first time I've met someone who slams the table louder than me. I can't beat him."
"Where is your wall-dong?" Wang Ning asked.
"The other person's waist is too big, and his hands can't reach the wall."
"The flying dragon is riding on my face!" said Bai Zhen.
Zhao Bowen thought about it, frowning, "But I have to be able to eat it."
What Lao Zhao said is not an exaggeration.
While the Amateur Radio Emergency Communication Command Center was running to reverse the future and save the world, several groups of people were also working secretly. No one knew who was leading them, but each of them had strong financial strength. Today, Zhao Bowen was called to a meeting of the Municipal Party Committee, and some god came on stage to present a PPT, which started with four big words: Hedgehog Plan.
What unfolded next shocked Lao Zhao to his core. This group of people seriously demonstrated how to lay a nuclear weapons minefield in low-Earth orbit. Lao Zhao then understood that the so-called Hedgehog Project was to turn the Earth into a super-giant hedgehog that would prick anyone who touched it. The first batch of this ambitious plan would lay 12,000 nuclear bombs in orbits of 300 to 500 kilometers. There would be a second, third, and fourth batches to follow, which would be deployed in synchronous orbits, polar orbits, lunar orbits, and on the Earth's surface. The speaker waved his hand and vowed that as long as all countries in the world worked at full capacity in the next five years and rolled out production lines in an all-round way, making missiles like making sausages and laying nuclear bombs like laying eggs, they would be able to cover the Earth with a powerful protective shell and make sure that the Black Moon would never return.
In addition, they also claimed that their team has been focusing on tackling the problem of the three-phase bomb's insufficient power in a vacuum environment. Without a shock wave, the dense material has its own dense material. The high temperature and high pressure of the nuclear bomb explosion causes instantaneous volatilization. Its explosive work and expansion ratio are much higher than conventional high explosives such as TNT or RDX. The speaker said proudly, comrades, this big firecracker is much easier to make than metallic hydrogen or all-nitrogen anion salt. If we can't make an antimatter bomb within five years, then this will be the most powerful weapon in the world!
The audience burst into applause.
Old Zhao was very jealous as to why his plan did not receive such warm applause.
The second team came on stage immediately. If the previous team's main focus was defense, then this team's main focus was offense.
Page 1 of PPT: Missiles have no future.
The missile flies too slowly and reacts too slowly. By the time the missile makes contact with the enemy, the black moon will be overhead, and then it will be too late. Future space wars will definitely be fought with directed energy weapons!
Nothing is faster than the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves. Even the Black Moon cannot escape from X-ray lasers, gamma-ray lasers, and attacks at the speed of light.
But in order to cause effective damage to the Black Moon, the power required is astonishing, and the volume required is also astonishing. After the team's demonstration, they believe that at least 6,400 X-ray generators are needed to form a phased array, and a focusing mirror covering an area of 45,000 square meters. Such a large thing cannot even be installed on the steering axis, so they plan to select a location in the mountainous area of Guizhou or Sichuan, and install it in the mountains like the FAST radio telescope or Arecibo.
A single shot from such a super laser can consume a whole day's worth of electricity in a city of 2.8 million people. Its instantaneous peak power is as high as 20 million megawatts, releasing 1.19×10^14 joules of energy at one time. Therefore, a larger energy storage pool must be prepared for it, an entire mountain must be hollowed out to install capacitors, or 200,000 Ford-class aircraft carriers must be prepared to power it.
The team leader claimed that it could instantly destroy all objects currently known to mankind from a distance of 380,000 kilometers. According to the scale of one super laser equipped with two energy storage tanks, it could fire two shots in an hour. If twelve super lasers were built around the world, it would be able to cover the entire celestial sphere without blind spots, ensuring that the black moon would be hit by at least four shots from two lasers when it descended from any direction.
This will be the largest weapon ever made by mankind, and Lao Zhao calls it the Human Cannon Project.
Zhao Bowen told Lao Bai and Lao Wang about the Hedgehog Project and the Human Cannon. The two old brothers were shocked. What a fucking big deal! Compared with them, his Amateur Radio Emergency Communication Command Center that would reverse the future and save the world was far inferior in every way except for its longer name.
That's what's cool, that's what's sci-fi, that's what it's like to fight an interstellar war.
My makeshift team of just a few big and small cats is really not up to par.
Zhao Bowen said, what do you know, this is called a secret front!
The frontal battlefield is important, but the secret front is not important? Our work is intelligence work, we are cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron, we are going straight to the dragon's nest, and setting the enemy's backyard on fire. No matter how big the scene is, without our assistance, they can't even figure out which direction Black Moon's butt is facing.
At the same time, he also complained that earlier, he, Zhao Bowen, begged and cried out, and was almost kneeling down to kowtow, but these people didn't believe him and thought he was talking nonsense and dreaming. Later, it was all thanks to him, Old Zhao, who racked his brains and tried his best and used all his tricks, and finally pulled a rocket and a satellite to show the world a fireworks display of 20 years later - this caused an uproar, and they finally believed it, and everyone was excited.
Now big investments are coming one after another, what were you doing before?
I still remember how you rolled your eyes at me, Zhao Bowen!
"It sounds like a century-long project. Can it be done?" Bai Zhen was very skeptical.
Neither the Hedgehog Project nor the Human Cannon is a small undertaking. Placing tens of thousands of nuclear bombs in orbit or building super lasers in mountainous areas may not be less difficult than large particle accelerators or controlled nuclear fusion. Is it possible to complete it within five years?
"Who knows." Zhao Bowen shook his head. "It's still in the demonstration stage. To turn the Earth into a nuclear bomb manufacturing workshop, such a large project and such a large plan cannot be decided in a day or two."
"Old Zhao, can you help me?" Bai Zhen asked, "I want to join the Hedgehog Project, or the Human Cannon, can you find someone you know?"
"What? You don't want to be the deputy team leader anymore?" Zhao Bowen rolled his eyes.
"What can we achieve by staying here?" Bai Zhen said, "Old Zhao, look at them. Nuclear bombs! Rockets! Laser cannons! Super projects! That's called saving the world. That's a great sense of participation. Old Zhao, can you also bring a laser cannon over?"
"Pooh!"
"Forget it if you can't find anyone." Bai Zhen said.
"To save the world, does it have to be earth-shattering?" Zhao Bowen snorted coldly, "Vulgar!"
“We are vulgar.”
Bai Zhen and Wang Ning are vulgar and feel justified in doing so.
"We are the core of everything." Zhao Bowen also said confidently, "Without us, they can't do anything. Right now, here, Plum Blossom Villa in Qinhuai District, Nanjing City is the center of the world. Don't think it's calm now, but there are undercurrents underneath. Before the tsunami reaches the shore, it is only a few dozen centimeters high. When it reaches you, you will know what it means to turn the world upside down."
