#283 - Chapter 283 Nuclear Isotope Bomb! The Fleet is Repaired? MiG-21, Here We Go Again!
Why would Elder Qian, at his advanced age, make a special trip to Shanghai to see this young man?
He had heard that the Ling'ao Nuclear Power Plant had been temporarily shut down, and its upgrade to fourth-generation nuclear power technology came from this young man!
Once upon a time.
Huaxia didn't have nuclear weapons.
It was blackmailed by North America.
It was blackmailed by the Polar Bear.
Therefore, he spared no effort to forge a sword for the country!
37 years ago, Huaxia had nuclear bombs.
20 years ago.
Huaxia had long-range delivery vehicles—intercontinental missiles!
But the problem arose!
Several major powers all have nuclear weapons. Under this mutual deterrence, no one dares to use them.
How to break the deadlock?
Unless!
There is a new weapon that breaks the rules!
"Elder Qian, you must know about nuclear isomers," Chen Hao said in a low voice.
Nuclear isomers.
It is a metastable state of an atom, formed by the excitation of protons or neutrons.
It releases electromagnetic energy but does not produce radioactivity.
The energy level is about 2GJ/g, which is 1 million times that of high-energy explosives!
To put it bluntly.
This thing is a conventional weapon that does not produce nuclear radiation at all and does not violate the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty!
But it has the same destructive power as nuclear weapons!
Elder Qian was stunned and frowned, "Nearly 40 years ago, North America was already researching it, but it faced two problems."
First.
There are many types of nuclear isomers.
But most have very short half-lives. Finding one with a long half-life…
At least, not yet!
Secondly.
Nuclear isomers are extremely stable.
This means that it is very difficult to detonate when used as a weapon.
A suitable detonating 'trigger' has not yet been found.
"I have it here!" Chen Hao said in a deep voice.
"Half-life or detonating trigger?"
"Both!"
"You… are you serious?!"
"Really!"
Chen Hao's eyes were firm.
In fact, he didn't want to develop this weapon, because it still couldn't change the fundamentals.
What if you have nuclear isomer weapons?
The US doesn't need it!
Atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs are enough.
But…
Although this thing cannot fundamentally change the situation, it adds another deterrent.
The key is that Elder Qian values it very much.
Then let's do it!
The old and the young began to discuss.
How to manufacture nuclear isomers with long half-lives?
What material should be used as a trigger?
And how should it be developed?
They talked for several hours. If Chen Hao hadn't insisted that Elder Qian rest for the night, the old man would have stayed up all night.
…
He left home in the morning to meet Elder Qian here.
He didn't return until it was almost dark.
And so it went.
It took three full days to finish the discussion.
Elder Qian left Shanghai to go back and sort out technical data, and also promised Chen Hao that he would only be responsible for the data and would never participate in the research and development.
His age and body didn't allow it.
Chen Hao stood by the road, watching the bulletproof car gradually disappear, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
This is an idol!
At 90 years old.
He is still working for the safety of the motherland.
It is because there are many people like Elder Qian who forge swords for the country that Huaxia has the peace it has today.
"Hurry up and complete the brain-computer interface!" he thought to himself.
Only by getting the brain-computer interface done can he 'move' the existing technologies from his memory in the shortest possible time.
Only in this way.
Can he put more energy into the technologies that were not realized in his previous life.
How to completely eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons?
He already has a plan in mind.
But it needs research and development!
First of all, the material science problem must be overcome.
Otherwise, everything is empty talk.
"Director Chen?" Xiang Yan reminded from the side.
"Oh…"
Chen Hao woke up from his thoughts.
It's time to go back.
He was delayed for four days.
The underground research institute needs to continue to be built. After the security system is completed, the brain-computer interface will be formally developed.
…
East Sea.
Ticonderoga-class cruiser.
Inside the control room.
The commander looked very excited.
Finally, it's repaired!
He had been on the verge of collapse during this time.
For many years, the North American fleet has roamed the five oceans. When has it ever suffered such a big loss?
The entire aircraft carrier fleet!
Being crushed by a few MiG-21s is simply a disgrace.
Fortunately!
North America almost controls the global media, and the embarrassing news has not spread.
But…
The fleet was not only defeated?
It's also unable to move and is completely stuck in the East Sea!
They came to the East Sea for freedom of navigation.
But they can't go back.
"General Brooke, the Stennis is starting up!" the aircraft carrier captain sent a message.
"Ha! I see it, so… get ready to go home!"
Brooke breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance.
Clearly!
The Stennis nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has restarted.
Now, the fleet has several more ships.
No way!
The aircraft carrier formation is collectively stranded, and the fleet has a total of tens of thousands of people, consuming a lot of supplies every day.
Had to send supply ships over?
The fleet is stranded and loses its combat effectiveness. Had to send several warships to protect it?
At the same time.
A large number of technicians were also sent to repair it.
Through the binoculars, Brooke saw the captain on the aircraft carrier waving to him.
It's just that…
The aircraft carrier cannot start immediately.
Whether it is conventional power or nuclear power, aircraft carriers are essentially boiling water—it takes time.
In another half day…
"General!"
Just then, the deputy ran over: "Fighters… fighters are approaching! According to radar, it's those damn MiG-21s again!"
Swish!
Brooke, who was just happy, turned as pale as paper in an instant.
Damn it!
Why are they here again?
Are they going to let people live?
In the cockpit of the leading MiG-21, Wang Wei showed a cold smile.
Electronic warfare pod ready.
Pulse release!
Over here.
Brooke didn't order the fighter to take off.
He walked out of the control room, stood on the deck, picked up his binoculars, and stared blankly at the approaching MiG-21.
What if they take off?
Wait for the electronic equipment to burn out and crash into the sea?
It's better not to take off, the loss will be much smaller.
He resigned himself to fate!
…
The underground research institute was finally completed.
Starting yesterday, Chen Hao called Zhang Ling over and officially started related research and development.
Zhang Ling is responsible for the brain science and neurology part.
Chen Hao is responsible for the computer part.
In addition.
The brain-computer interface also requires AI system support.
Someone is already developing AI.
Suddenly!
The phone rang.
Chen Hao looked at the number and answered casually: "President Sun, what's wrong?"
"Director Chen, are you free? I'm outside Shanghai Jiaotong University!" Sun Hongxing's tone was hard to hide his excitement.
"See you in ten minutes."
Chen Hao hung up the phone immediately.
Sun Hongxing must have something to do when he specifically looked for him.
Moreover…
Judging from his tone, it's good news.
The signal in the basement is very poor, but in view of the fact that he will often stay in the underground research institute for a long time in the future, in order to avoid missing important calls, he installed a signal enhancement module—the signal can be full even underground.
In less than ten minutes.
Chen Hao appeared at the school gate and saw the car parked opposite at a glance.
That car…
It was the Shenzhou car he designed himself!
The whole body is streamlined, and the appearance is fully adopted from the design of more than 20 years later in the previous life, which is far from comparable to today.
The design drawings are beautiful.
The actual car is even more beautiful!
He was about to cross the road to see Sun Hongxing when another phone call suddenly came in.
When he saw the number, his expression couldn't help but condense. He waved to the opposite side of the road, indicating that he had something urgent to do.
Immediately, he quickly walked to a corner.
