Chapter 1361 Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Alyssa, like Li Chengqi, does not have an accurate understanding of the killing efficiency of nuclear bombs.
When the first nuclear bomb was fired, it directly vaporized the military port at the bottom of the space fortress Ilsha. At that time, I felt that this thing was too powerful.
But in fact, the evaporation of the military port only touched the edge of the killing radius. The first nuclear bomb did not hit the military port accurately, but exploded in the fleet in front of the military port.
All matter in the explosion area will be vaporized by the energy released by nuclear fusion. No matter in the universe can withstand such high temperatures.
The hydrogen bomb used by Li Chengqi had an explosive yield of 48 million tons of TNT. The Tsar Bomba, the largest hydrogen bomb ever exploded in human history, had an explosive yield of 50 million tons of TNT.
When that thing exploded, it moved the Eurasian continent nine millimeters south. All the glaciers within a radius of 20 kilometers melted. Unprotected people 51 kilometers away would be burned by the hot wind rolled up by the explosion, and the shock wave would be even worse. It can spread a thousand kilometers.
Although the power of nuclear explosions in the cosmic environment has dropped significantly, Li Chengqi threw two rounds.
The enemy fleet came for reinforcements, with a total of 393 warships of various types. After the bombardment of two nuclear bombs, only about 200 ships were left. Moreover, the violent heat radiation caused varying degrees of damage to the surviving warships. The powerful heat radiation hit The armor plates of warships sailing in a super-cooled environment in the void caused extremely strong thermal shock.
The working environment of warships is far harsher than that of civilian ships. All warships have considered ways to resist thermal shock, but this also has limits.
Many of the remaining battleships were abandoned and self-destructed shortly after the nuclear explosion. They had to be abandoned because the thermal shock destroyed the outer armor and the keel structure supporting the battleships.
Two nuclear bombs destroyed a squadron of warships, and the surviving warships basically lost their combat capabilities.
Although she escaped with her life, Alyssa immediately felt strong fear.
Such horrific weapons should not appear in the world, at least not in the mortal world.
Once this kind of weapon is put into war, it will no longer be a battle, but naked extermination, and all tactics will become meaningless.
The squadron quickly retreated. In their opinion, the Spinning Water Federation must have some extremely powerful weapons of mass destruction. If they didn't retreat now, they would have no chance.
But the Xuanshui Federation is also very confused. What's going on? What exploded?
Just after returning to the fortress, the communications affected by the electromagnetic pulse had just been restored. Alyssa immediately received inquiries from the upper-level commanders, asking them what they saw.
Alyssa didn’t dare to say it and couldn’t say it.
Regardless of the consequences of revealing Li Chengqi's existence to the Xianshui Federation, if they were to know that Li Chengqi still had a hydrogen bomb in his hand, they would beg for it and study it at all costs.
It sounds like it would be a good thing for the Spinning Water Federation to master this technology, but there is no airtight wall in this world.
If the Spin Water Federation figures out the principle of hydrogen bombs, it is likely to lead to nuclear proliferation, especially small countries with insufficient fleets. They urgently need this kind of weapon that can determine victory or defeat with one shot.
If a war breaks out then, everyone will throw nuclear bombs at each other...
Thinking about that kind of scene, Alyssa felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
The Red Maple Republic did owe Alyssa a blood debt to repay, but not in this form. This was no longer a war, it had become a massacre.
So Alyssa quickly adjusted her mentality and expressed that she was not clear about the inquiry from above. She was investigating, but no results had been produced yet. In short, she answered all questions without knowing.
The good news is that no one saw Li Chengqi when he fired the nuclear bomb. Especially when he fired two nuclear bombs this time, the surroundings were shrouded in smoke. It was unlikely that any friendly warships would notice Li Chengqi's body at that time.
This gave Alyssa a good reason to prevaricate.
The Xianshui Federation will definitely investigate. After all, two unexplained strong explosions occurred near their home fortress. It would be a mistake not to investigate.
But hydrogen bombs are extremely clean, all substances are vaporized, and the reactive materials will burn out quickly, leaving nothing behind.
"You still have to rely on me, right?"
When Alyssa was worried, Li Chengqi's very proud voice echoed in the bridge.
He certainly has never thought about the serious consequences if the hydrogen bomb spreads out, and with Alyssa's technical level, it is really not that difficult to make a hydrogen bomb.
They don't have nuclear weapons, it's just because they don't have much research on the microscopic field, which is equivalent to the different development directions of the technology tree.
As long as it can provide an idea, it won't be long before this thing is mastered by the vast majority of countries.
And once this Pandora's box is opened, it cannot be closed again.
"I'm glad you came to help, but you also have to think about the consequences." "What consequences?"
On Li Chengqi's side, Alyssa covered her head, looking very troubled.
"If the manufacturing technology of hydrogen bombs spreads..."
"Then let's disperse."
Li Chengqi said calmly:
"When everyone has it, everyone will be more careful."
This is an angle Alyssa didn’t expect.
The Cold War and even the current peace were built on nuclear powder keg, otherwise the Earth would have been fighting World War III.
Having the ability to destroy each other will make everyone very cautious and gain a rare period of peace.
Alyssa imagined that scene for a moment, but she immediately shook her head to get rid of the thoughts in her mind.
"No, you can't use it again."
"Isn't this useful?"
"That's not possible! Even if wars continue between countries, this technology cannot be spread out!"
The Star Alliance is still very peaceful. Since the alliance was formed, this is the first time that the member states within the alliance have launched a war. There are more than just Star Alliances in the vast void. The proliferation of nuclear technology is really terrifying.
"You still have a hydrogen bomb, right? Once you use it, you must not use it again. You must be careful when using it. You must not let anyone see that you made it."
"Huh? Are you so demanding?"
"Even if I am begging you, please don't mess around!"
When Li Chengqi drove the Gundam out, everyone, no matter the enemy or friend, would only think it was a magic mecha. Although its performance was exaggerated, it was still in the category of a magic mecha.
The friendly forces even felt that as a recycler, Alyssa should have countless strange people from all over the world. It is extremely normal to have such a unique magic mecha in her hand, and it would be strange not to have it.
Therefore, the friendly forces are not surprised at all by Li Chengqi's combat effectiveness. Whether he goes out in a Gundam or a Lionfish, he can fight, but it is still within an acceptable range.
And nuclear bombs have suddenly risen from the individual level to the national level, and even the level of genocide, so we must be careful.
"Okay, I'll try not to use it."
Because Aidas said that gods should not directly interfere too much in the mortal world, Li Chengqi thought of a curved way to save the country. After all, he wanted to help the Xuanshui Federation win this war.
For him, the hydrogen bomb is very easy to work on. He can just ask the model shop to use GP02 as the prototype and customize a few more models.
Since Alyssa is so determined, forget it.
"I have ordered another MA. Then I will need the energy of the Swan. I don't know if it will be enough."
"I won't ask what MA is, as long as it's not a weapon of mass destruction."
Alyssa tapped her forehead:
"Why are you speaking so slurred?"
"I'm eating. I secretly took the officer's meal from the logistics. I have to say that the officer's meal of the Spinning Water Federation is not bad, but the red wine that goes with it is not very good. It smells like engine oil."
"..."
I feel a little nervous, there's still a war going on!
