The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 492 Hydrogen Bomb
Hear Li Mu's answer.

The Deng family and others were stunned at first, but then they quickly reacted.

Even if it is an ambush, it will hardly pose a threat to Emperor M's fleet.

Then only the method of dying together can gain a greater chance of winning.

Although it's a bit cruel.

But this is really the best way.

Sacrificing a submarine for an aircraft carrier is definitely a good deal.

Deng Jia, Guo Huai and Yu Ming remained silent.

Sadness, anger, or resentment are all useless emotions.

They know it deeply.

Only when the Xia Kingdom becomes truly strong can it be free from fear of all threats.

Big mushrooms aren't enough.

——They need more advanced weapons to defend their motherland and their people.

……

After a meal.

Everyone immediately pulled Li Mu over and continued discussing the issue.

Now the big mushroom has exploded.

But it does not mean complete success.

There are still many problems that need them to solve.

For example, the degree of weaponization at the technical level is low, reliability verification is insufficient, and the delivery vehicles are backward.

Deng Jiadao:
"The tower explosion experimental device we are using now is large in size and complex in structure. It is difficult to use it directly as an actual combat weapon before it is miniaturized."

"It is impossible to safely verify the stability, environmental adaptability and detonation control system of the device through just one test," Guo Huai continued.

Chen Kaijia on the side also said:
"The delivery vehicle is also a problem. We currently lack reliable long-range delivery methods."

The three of them talked one after another and quickly analyzed the main points of the current problem.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there aren’t other problems.

Ineffective raw material reserves, weak industrial supporting facilities, etc. are issues that cannot be ignored, but they are not so important at the moment.

Just when their discussion was getting more and more interesting.

Yu Ming, who had been sitting next to Li Mu and had not spoken much, looked at Li Mu and suddenly said:

"Advisor Li, do you have any ideas?"

Hear this.

Everyone in the room gradually quieted down and turned their eyes to Li Mu.

these days.

Li Mu exchanged a lot of ideas with them.

They also knew that Li Mu wanted to develop a land-based intercontinental D bomb.

But let’s be honest.

This is what Li Mu said. If it were someone else, they would probably think that the other person was confused due to fever.

Is Xiaguo now developing a land-based intercontinental D missile?
too difficult.

"I think everyone's analysis is correct, and this is also the problem we need to solve later." Li Mu replied.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But then.

They listened to Li Mu continue:
"But I think that the next step is to concentrate our efforts and strive to produce the cyanide bomb as soon as possible!"

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

This is quite a big step.

"I think Consultant Li is right. The power of cyanide bombs is hundreds of times that of large mushrooms. This is a target we must conquer!" Yu Ming supported.

Not only was he not surprised, he thought it was normal.

After all, it’s Li Mu.

It would be strange if the legend of this Xia scientist was only focused on solving some "small problems".

Deng Jiadao:
"The cyanide bomb is a more complex 'thermal atomic weapon' than the giant mushroom, and there is also the configuration design of the cyanide bomb. We currently lack international reference materials, and we don't have the required materials such as lithium tritide. It is very difficult!"

That's what he said.

But his eyes were fixed on Li Mu, full of anticipation.

So does everyone else.

Even though the research base is far away.

But from time to time when they went to Kyoto to use supercomputers to complete computing tasks, they still heard that Li Mu liked to make a good plan before proposing a project.

"I can solve the problem of material preparation. As for the configuration, with so many of us, how can we not figure it out?" Li Mu said with a smile.

This time he did not make any bold statements, saying that he would solve all the problems himself.

After all, the research on cyanide bombs is extremely difficult.

Moreover, he is unable to obtain the configuration now.

Although Ask is now still playing happily in the Xia Kingdom in the future under his advice.

However, such confidential information is generally kept strictly confidential and may even only be in paper files without electronic archives.

In this case, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to find information about the configuration.

Of course, adopting foreign configuration is also acceptable.

But if we make do with it, it is still unknown whether the famous "Yu Ming configuration" will be proposed.

Same as "Qian Wushi Ballistics".

Yu Ming's configuration is different from the international mainstream design and has the characteristics of miniaturization, low cost and high practicality.

The fact that the Xia Kingdom was able to stockpile large amounts of giant mushrooms in later generations was closely related to this configuration.

Deng Jia laughed and said:

"Advisor Li is right. We have even made giant mushrooms, so why should we worry about not being able to make cyanide bombs?"

After he finished speaking.

Others including Guo Huai and Yu Ming also expressed their support.

Although there is difficulty.

But from the beginning to the end, they even created giant mushrooms, so how could they be scared by a cyanide bomb?

Followed by.

Yu Ming then raised a question and said:
"So in terms of configuration, Consultant Li, what direction do you think we should take for research?"

As soon as these words came out, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The cyanide bomb design configuration currently used internationally is mainly the TU configuration proposed by the Mth scientist.

However, there is basically no information about Xia State in this regard except for its name.

"Professor Yu, since you asked this question, it seems that you want to study new configurations." Li Mu said with a smile.

He was not sure when Yu Ming started the configuration research.

But given the other party's ability, it is not surprising that he has ideas now.

Yu Ming said:
"I do have some ideas, but I always feel that they are not perfect, so I would like to learn from you."

"You think too highly of me. I don't know anything about configuration." Li Mu shook his head repeatedly.

Hearing this, Yu Ming was not disappointed and said:
"I believe in your ability and you will definitely be able to help us in this regard."

"Let me tell you my idea first. I plan to do research on the technical path of thermal atomic fuel compression and energy transfer."

"We don't know much about the TU configuration, except that it is a highly efficient radiation-preserving compression of hot atomic fuels, relying on X-rays produced by primary fission explosions..."

He slowly spoke out his thoughts.

After listening to this, everyone couldn't help but fall into long contemplation.

After all, Yu Ming proposed a new configuration research plan, and no one had an answer in their hearts as to whether it would work or whether there would be problems in many places.

Li Mu didn't have that worry.

Just what I just said.

He found that Yu Ming's ideas were very similar to the information he could collect.

Although there are still many imperfections.

But the direction is definitely right.

All he needs to do is give a push at the right time.

As for other things, don’t do them if you can avoid doing them.

Otherwise, it would be a bit frustrating if he accidentally led me astray and caused Yu Ming's configuration to fail.

……

The discussion continued until late at night.

Li Mu is returning to the dormitory at the base.

After washing.

He sat at his desk and looked through the research materials on giant mushrooms in the base archives for a while.

The information from later generations is very good.

But it does not mean that the current information is not valuable.

These are the fruits of the hard work of countless scientific researchers, and he can also learn a lot from them.

Otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to get the information about Yu Ming’s configuration later.

Without a foundation, you may not be able to understand it.

……

Watched for about an hour.

Li Mu put down the data file and continued to study the land-based intercontinental D bomb.

As for the cyanide bomb, he wasn't that worried.

After all, in the original history, Xia Kingdom successfully exploded after the big mushroom.

It took only 2 years and 8 months to complete the cyanide bomb test.

This time they have better research conditions, more funding, and the time can be shortened by at least one third.

"If we try harder, we can develop a land-based intercontinental D bomb within three years. Combined with the cyanide bomb, it should be able to increase the strategic deterrence significantly." Li Mu thought to himself.

The dispatch of aircraft carriers by Emperor M and Big Brother's inaction sounded the alarm for him.

Although the "Star Wars" plan has now basically been declared a success, both superpowers have fallen into their trap.

But without strong armed protection, accidents may still occur.

Just like this time.

If the explosion of the big mushroom is not successful.

He was not sure whether Emperor M and the transport captain would really take action in the end.

……

While Li Mu was busy with his research.

Southern waters.

After getting help from Mike, the commander of the Seventh Fleet of the M Empire.

The transport captain immediately assembled his troops, and without hesitation, he entered the territorial waters of the Xia Kingdom and began his valiant voyage.

The most arrogant time.

Standing on the coast, you can see the outline of the fleet from afar.

This made the naval officers and soldiers in the southern waters no longer able to suppress their desire to fight.

But even so.

Xiao Ruilin still did not give any orders.

He just stayed alone in the operations room all night long, waiting for news from Kyoto.

Just when he had stayed up all night again and was about to sit down in a chair and rest for a while after being persuaded by his staff officer.

Suddenly, a soldier from the telecommunications squad ran in and shouted:
"Urgent call from Kyoto, the plan begins!"

Hear this.

Xiao Ruilin's fatigue from not sleeping all night was instantly swept away.

He rushed forward and snatched the telegram.

It was not until I confirmed it several times that I was finally sure.

He immediately said:
"Notify all combat units in the southern waters to fight them at 12 o'clock tonight!"

At this moment, Xiao Ruilin felt that the depression that had been suppressed for many days was swept away.

"Fight them all? Leader, the M Emperor has even sent an aircraft carrier battle group. Should we be more cautious?" The staff officer couldn't help but ask.

They can have a brush with the transport captain.

But Emperor M is very difficult to deal with.

Especially if we all go with aircraft carriers, there is basically no chance of winning.

"Don't worry, we have our own secret weapons to deal with the aircraft carrier battle group!" Xiao Ruilin laughed.

Hearing this, the staff officer did not ask any more questions and turned around quickly to convey the order.

Xiao Ruilin also quickly summoned officers above the regimental level to discuss the battle plan.

The officers he called over were still a little confused and said:
"Leader, didn't you say we have to wait?"

"Now that the aircraft carrier battle group has arrived, our chances of winning will be slim if we continue to fight!"

"It's just an aircraft carrier battle group. I'm going to fight it to the death!"

...Everyone was talking at once.

It is not difficult to see from the content that they have some small opinions about Xiao Ruilin.

After all, although the lineup before Emperor M and the Transport Captain was difficult to deal with, it was still somewhat fightable.

But now the aircraft carrier battle groups are here.

Xia's chances of winning are very slim.

Looking at their noisy appearance, Xiao Ruilin said with a smile:
"What, are you scared?"

Hear this.

The generals almost exploded.

"Afraid? Give me the smallest destroyer, without any weapons, and I can drive it alone to blow up the aircraft carrier!" someone said immediately.

Others also echoed and asked for permission to bomb the aircraft carrier.

They admitted that their weapons and equipment were indeed inferior to those of the M Emperor.

But at worst, I'll just fight hard.

Even if 10 ships are sacrificed, it is worth it as long as the aircraft carrier of Emperor M can be replaced.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruilin continued:
"Okay, I know you're not afraid of death, but you don't have to fight to the death this time."

"There will be secret forces targeting the aircraft carrier battle group."

"What we have to do is to find a way to capture the ships sent by the transport captain."

After he finished speaking.

Everyone's eyes lit up and asked:
"Secret forces? Leader, what secret forces? Please at least give us a little information, otherwise how can we cooperate with you?"

"Don't ask too much, you will know after the fight. Now just follow the orders." Xiao Ruilin said.

The plan to replace submarines with aircraft carriers is a risky move in itself and there must be no possibility of leakage.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately said:

"Yes!"

……

Just as the operations room in the southern waters completed its deployment.

The transport captain also started to get a little anxious.

They came here to force Xia Guo to take the initiative.

As a result, Xia Guodu acted as if he saw nothing and just remained "huddled" without any reaction.

If we continue like this, it will all be a waste of effort in the end.

Therefore, as the commander, Wan Wenjie speculated that the Xia Kingdom probably did not fight back because it did not dare to offend Emperor M.

So he made a very bold plan.

That is to have the fleet "demonstrate" along the coast.

Originally, this plan was not allowed by the transport captain.

But on the day when Emperor M's aircraft carrier battle group arrived.

All objections vanished.

Their fleet began to "demonstrate" continuously along the coast.

They couldn't find the Xia Kingdom's warships.

Originally, Wan Wenjie was worried that this method would not work.

However, after seeing two fishing boats, he suddenly came up with an idea.

……

Rows of warships chased the desperately fleeing fishing boats, playing with them like a cat playing with a mouse.

Of course, confidence is confidence.

The transport captain's fleet combat formation did not relax because of this.

After all, the Xia Kingdom’s army is very powerful.

Wan Wenjie was still clear.

Otherwise, they would not have been driven to the island and lived there.

But that's exactly why.

It makes people very uncomfortable.

They finally managed to trick a powerful warship out of M, and even called in an aircraft carrier battle group to help.

As a result, Xia Guo completely refused to accept the challenge.

This is simply maddening!
"We can't go on like this!" Wan Wenjie lost his patience as he watched the fishing boats rushing left and right in front of him but unable to escape.

He said to the adjutant beside him:

"Fire, destroy a fishing boat!"

"Yes!" the adjutant responded and turned away.
Doesn’t the Xia Kingdom claim to be a country of the people?

He didn't believe that he could continue to endure it if there were casualties.

However, just as the Yang-class cruiser he was on was about to open fire on the fishing boat.

A loud "boom" suddenly sounded above the sea.

Wan Wenjie was immediately shocked:

"what happened?"

Soon, the adjutant came back to report:
"Report, our fleet was attacked by torpedoes launched by Xia Country's submarines!"

Hearing this, Wan Wenjie was delighted.

He was not afraid of a sudden attack from the Xia Kingdom, but he was afraid of not accepting the attack.

He quickly looked towards the sea on the left.

really.

A frigate and a destroyer on the left wing were both emitting black smoke at this moment.

Seeing this, he was startled and said:
"What happened? Where are the anti-submarine sonar and anti-submarine aircraft? How come they didn't discover it in advance and caused such a huge loss!"

"Sir, we don't know either. The Xia country's submarine seemed to appear suddenly!" said the adjutant.

Wan Wenjie immediately said:

"Order the troops to activate active sonar detection and release depth charges!"

Now is not the time to figure out how to make Xia Guo’s submarine launch a surprise attack.

After all, the radars used by surface warships usually cannot detect underwater submarines.

Only the submarine's sonar, anti-submarine helicopters and anti-submarine aircraft can achieve effective detection.

"Notify them immediately and let the destroyers quickly launch an attack relying on the submarines of Emperor M and the submarines of Country Xia!" Wan Wenjie said while making the deployment quickly.

Although I don’t know how Xia Guo got so close.

But with the M Emperor's Catshark-class submarines, they were not afraid of any threats at all.

But it is far from enough for just the submarine to come over.

He planned to surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements, so as to attract a stronger fleet of Xia State to join the battlefield.

……

But soon, Wan Wenjie found that his plan had failed.

On the sea, warships from the Xia Kingdom came sailing against the wind and waves. There were so many of them that they were far beyond their ability to resist.

And there were constant huge roars around.

Every sound means that a warship has been hit.

In just a quarter of an hour, almost every ship in the huge fleet was emitting black smoke.

"What's going on? Haven't we defeated Xia's submarines yet?" Wan Wenjie was furious.

Logically speaking, the pile of junk from Xia Country should have been turned into scrap metal by their attack long ago.

However, the fact is that the attacks they launched could not produce any decisive results.

As for the M Emperor Cat Shark class submarine, the answer given is:

"Xiaguo's submarines are as slippery as fish and can always avoid their torpedoes."

Is this right?
It's not an atomic submarine!

Just when Wan Wenjie was getting anxious and angry.

A large number of bubbles suddenly emerged from the seabed in front of the cruiser he was sitting on.

A moment's work.

The two Sea Lion submarines, which were blown into pieces by the D bomb, emerged from below.

Wan Wenjie was stunned.

This is wrong!

It was obvious that they got help from M.

Why were they beaten so badly by the Xia Kingdom?

"It must be that the M Emperor guys in the submarines were lazy and didn't keep vigilance properly!" Wan Wenjie hated in his heart.

Apart from this, he couldn't think of any other reason.

The adjutant reminded:

"Sir, we should retreat. Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid the entire fleet will be destroyed!"

"Shut up!" Wan Wenjie turned around and slapped the adjutant in anger.

But he also knew that now was not the time to act on impulse.

Almost every ship in the fleet is now damaged, and in addition to the submarine, one ship was sunk.

The Xia Kingdom's fleet also arrived at the battlefield.

If the fight continues, he might die here.

Thinking of this, he immediately said:
"Pass on my order, retreat, and move closer to the USS Midway aircraft carrier battle group of the M Emperor!"

After giving instructions.

He quickly called the intelligence officer and sent a telegram requesting support to Mike on the Midway.

no way.

If they don't ask for help, even if they can escape, the fleet will lose at least half of its troops.

……

Aboard the USS Midway aircraft carrier battle group.

Mike was also quite surprised when he received the news from the transport captain.

It is nothing surprising that Xia's submarines attacked the transport captain's fleet.

What’s strange is that the weapon used was a submarine.

Moreover, they have the Catshark-class submarines.

Although this model of submarine is just a conventional powered submarine.

However, its streamlined design and single-hull structure, coupled with its high underwater speed and maneuverability, are definitely beyond the reach of technologically advanced conventional submarines.

The weapon system is also very powerful, equipped with 6 533mm torpedo tubes, with high levels of anti-submarine and anti-ship capabilities.

It also has advanced AN/BQS-4 active sonar and AN/BQR-2 passive sonar.

Passive sonar can detect underwater submarines up to 10-20 kilometers in a quiet environment, while active sonar can detect submarines up to 3-10 kilometers.

"Logically speaking, it's impossible for Xia Country to approach the fleet under such circumstances!" Mike was puzzled.

He thought for a long time.

At the same time, he asked the signalman to contact the Catshark-class submarine.

At the same time, he came up with an answer similar to Wan Wenjie's, which was definitely because the people above were lazy.

But soon.

This speculation was shattered by the news from the Catshark-class submarine.

The signalman reported:

"General, the Catshark-class submarine said they have been maintaining combat readiness, but they have not detected even the shadow of the Xia Kingdom submarine."

"Bullshit." Mike almost couldn't help cursing.

With their M Empire's leading position in technology.

Even if the Red Alliance, which is also a hegemon, came, it would be impossible for them to launch an attack without them noticing.

What’s more, neither shadow was detected!

But Qi returns to Qi.

It is an indisputable fact that the fleet, including the Catshark-class submarines and the transport squadron leader, is now being chased by the Xia Kingdom.

He didn't care about the transport captain.

But if a Catshark-class submarine is lost, no matter why Xia Guo was able to defeat them, he would definitely be held accountable.

Think about this.

Mike immediately said:
"Call back immediately and have them evacuate quickly. Also order the aircraft carrier to go over and pick them up."

If it was before the aircraft carrier battle group arrived.

He might as well just accept his bad luck.

After all, unknown weapons are still very threatening.

But now that he was holding the Midway, he didn't think that any other country except the Red Alliance could compete with them.

Moreover, the submarines that Xia State relied on posed no effective threat to them.

The anti-submarine defense system of the aircraft carrier battle group is very strict.
