HK Composite: Starting from Shenghe Leading

Chapter 571 Big Ivan?
"The minimum amount of food is 10,000 tons, and there is no upper limit. This is not a one-time deal, especially considering the current international situation, it seems to be a long process."

"I suggest that you extend the time to five years. This way, not only will the acquisition be easier, but you can also pay for the foreign exchange in installments without having to bear too much pressure."

Lin Zehao had just agreed to the acquisition request from the Polar Bear Alliance, and with Ermao's money, it was already not a small amount.

If a large-scale acquisition is launched in a short period of time, not only will the price be driven up very high, but the United States will also be suspicious.

Therefore, it is better to extend the battle line, which will benefit both sides.

"Mr. Lin is an absolute expert in this area and we have complete trust in him."

"As long as it's something you believe is right, we fully support you."

Dang Chengrui spoke sincerely, the fear in his heart had not yet completely dissipated.

In his opinion, people like Lin Zehao are too terrifying. People who do not believe in authority are fearless.

Without fear, one will naturally not bow down to power.

It would be a disaster if such a person entered the system.

If everyone in the world is not afraid of power, then what is the meaning of power itself?

If that day really comes, the scene would be terrifying just by thinking about it.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Lin. We have concluded the grain business, and we have another matter that we would like to trouble you for help."

"Of course, this is also an alternative business, but the bargaining chip is no longer simply money."

Dang Chengrui continued to push the progress of the incident according to the plan.

If the previous transaction was just a test, then the next transaction is the real purpose of the committee!
"As long as it is a reasonable and legal business, I am always interested."

Lin Zehao made a please gesture, indicating that the other party could continue speaking.

When doing business with people in China, you should always keep some precautions in mind.

If someone were to go crazy in the future and plan to use these things to attack Lin Zehao, he would not be able to explain himself even if he had a lot of tricks.

Therefore, all of Lin Zehao's transactions with the domestic parties are based on reasonable and legal foundations.

No matter what the truth is, at least the process he carried out was absolutely in line with legal standards.

As for those areas where there might be a possibility of skirting the issue, they are handled by subordinates.

Even if some people really intend to turn against him in the future, Lin Zehao has a way to solve it.

Those things you mentioned were done by Wei Longhao. What does it have to do with me, Lin Zehao?

"Mr. Lin, we heard that you are very popular in the Polar Bear Alliance. They have a lot of 'discarded' weapons and equipment, and they were all 'environmentally friendly' disposed of by you."

"So... in the spirit of contributing to the earth's environmental protection, we want to purchase some 'abandoned' weapons and equipment from you..."

"I don't know. What do you think?"

As Dang Chengrui spoke, he carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.

There is no way. The pressure of communicating with a person like Lin Zehao is too great.

This is especially true when discussing these sensitive issues.

Dang Chengrui was afraid that a slip of the tongue would cause irreversible consequences, as that would be a huge sin for him!

After all, before he came here, his superiors had given him a death order: if this mission failed, he would die!

No one wants to face the consequences of failure.

"Abandoned weapons and equipment?"

"That's no problem, but for the transaction to go smoothly, I hope you can be more specific about the scope."

Lin Zehao was not surprised about the specific content of the business.

Now the whole world knows how strong the country’s desire for military power is!

Under such circumstances, simply purchasing some weapons and equipment is not an excessive thing at all.

"For example, battleships, bombers, submarines, Katyusha rockets and the like, we are all very interested..."

"Of course, if there are aircraft carriers, fighter jets, or even things related to Big Ivan, we would also be happy to get them..."

Big Ivan is a nickname for a specially made hydrogen bomb that the Polar Bear Alliance calls the Tsar Bomb.

Carbomba, codename: AN-602.

In the 1960s, during the Cold War, the Polar Bear Alliance and the United States launched a crazy nuclear race and successively developed various types of nuclear weapons, including atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, and neutron bombs.

Nuclear weapons are a general term for weapons that use self-sustaining nuclear fission or fusion reactions to instantly release huge amounts of energy to produce an explosion, which has a large-scale killing and destructive effect on various targets.

In the history of the development of nuclear weapons since their successful development in 1945, there are mainly three types: atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb, and neutron bomb.

An atomic bomb is a fission weapon made using the fission chain reaction principle of heavy atomic nuclei such as uranium 235 or plutonium 239.

A hydrogen bomb is a weapon that uses the huge energy released instantly by the fusion reaction of light atomic nuclei such as deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen, to cause damage and destruction.

The energy of an atomic bomb comes from nuclear fission reactions, while the power of a hydrogen bomb comes from the interaction of fission-fusion-fission.

This interactive reaction of fission and fusion greatly enhances the effectiveness of nuclear reactions. The technical implications of mastering and controlling this reaction are more complex and profound than those of the atomic bomb.

Unlike the explosive power of an atomic bomb which is in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of tons, the explosive power of a hydrogen bomb is often millions or tens of millions of tons of TNT equivalent.

Therefore, people call it the most powerful weapon in human history. Under such circumstances, in order to catch up with or even crush the United States in all aspects, the Polar Bear Alliance issued an order to manufacture a super hydrogen bomb.

In January 1960, Khrushchev, the leader of the Polar Bear Alliance, known as the Corn Emperor, declared at a meeting at the United Nations headquarters that the Polar Bear Alliance would strongly support the "National Liberation War."

The United States viewed this as a serious provocation to its hegemonic status and responded quickly.

In the same month, the then President of the United States, Kennedy, who was known for his creative thinking, delivered a speech intended to respond to Khrushchev's previous remarks: the general meaning was that the United States would oppose any enemy's use of coercive means to ensure the freedom of other countries.

Subsequently, the all-round competition between the United States and the Polar Bear Alliance, which was already caught in a Cold War pattern, intensified in the political, economic, and military fields.

In April 1961, the U.S. Intelligence Agency organized Cuban exiles to land in the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. The action to overthrow the government supported by the Polar Bear Alliance failed. The United States began a naval blockade against Cuba in an attempt to force the Cuban government to surrender.

In August 1961, the Polar Bear Alliance army built the Berlin Wall at the border between East and West Berlin, Germany, dividing Berlin into two parts to prevent the infiltration of Western forces.

In September 1961, the President of the United States called on the people to build nuclear war bunkers in preparation for launching nuclear deterrence with the Polar Bear Alliance, and the international situation became more tense.

It was in this context that the Polar Bear Alliance issued the order to research the super hydrogen bomb.

On July 10, 1961, the Corn Emperor summoned scientist Sakharov and others and personally ordered the development of the world's largest hydrogen bomb, with a nuclear equivalent of 100 million tons, in order to deter the United States and other Western countries and achieve the strategic intention of "defeating the enemy without fighting."

Simply put, it's to scare people.

Khrushchev said: In October of the same year, the Polar Bear Alliance will hold a celebration. In order to show its strength, it immediately hopes that the Tsar Bomb can be successfully developed before September. By then, the greatest political benefit can be obtained by testing the world's largest hydrogen bomb.

Under this background, Sakharov and other experts did not dare to neglect their efforts and immediately devoted themselves to the development of the super hydrogen bomb.

After sleepless research day and night, the development of a new hydrogen bomb code-named AN602 was completed in just fourteen weeks.

The Tsar Bomba was eight meters long, 2.1 meters in diameter, and weighed approximately 27 tons. Its nuclear equivalent was designed to be 100 million tons, making it the largest super hydrogen bomb in the world at that time!

The top leaders of the Polar Bear Alliance named it the "Tsar Bomb", meaning that in the future the Polar Bear Alliance will be able to restore its territory to the peak of the Tsar era.

However, due to concerns about the radiation and radioactive contamination that hydrogen bomb tests might cause, the research and development team decided to reduce the nuclear equivalent of the "Tsar Bomb" to 50 million tons.

Even so, the bomb was equivalent in power to about 3,800 of the atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima.

After calculations and evaluations by physicists from the Polar Bear Alliance, it was successfully deduced that if the Tsar Bomb had been detonated in central England, especially if it had been detonated at low altitude in order to cause large-scale ground damage, the fallout containing radioactive material after the detonation would have easily affected the Warsaw Pact.

If it had exploded over West Germany at the time, the deadly radioactive dust would have affected the border areas of the Polar Bear Alliance.

In order to avoid the influence of dust, the uranium 238 originally used to coat the fusion core was replaced with lead. This way, the speed of uranium atoms and neutrons expanding the fission reaction in the fusion reaction can be controlled, and the process of neutron accelerated fission in the fusion stage is terminated. Therefore, about 97% of the total energy comes from nuclear fusion.

Subsequent test explosions were also carried out in this manner to avoid unpredictable and uncontrolled fallout from causing serious impacts on neighboring or remote areas and countries.

In addition, for the safety of the test personnel, the developers specially installed a deceleration parachute weighing 800 kilograms on the Tsar Bomb to delay the time and speed of the bomb's release and fall, so that the hydrogen bomb carrier and observation aircraft could retreat to a safe area 45 kilometers away from the center of the atomic explosion.

In July 1961, after some discussions, the committee formally issued a research plan for the Tsar Bomb, with a total of two bombs to be manufactured.

One of them will be tested on October 30, 1961 on Novaya Zemlya of the Polar Bear Alliance.

The other one is used for research and storage.

Novaya Zemlya is located in the Arctic region north of Russia, between the Kara Sea and the Barents Sea. It covers an area of ​​8.26 square kilometers, has a cold climate and is covered with snow all year round.

More importantly, the island is more than 1000 kilometers away from the nearest city, making it an ideal site for large-yield nuclear tests.

The construction of the Novaya Zemlya nuclear test site began in 1954.

The following year, the first nuclear torpedo produced by the Polar Bear Alliance was successfully launched and exploded on Novaya Zemlya, breaking the island's years of silence.

During the entire Cold War, more than 130 nuclear tests were conducted at the Novaya Zemlya nuclear test site. It was the most important nuclear test site of the Polar Bear Alliance besides the Semiparatinsk nuclear test site in Kazakhstan, and one of the main battlefields of the bipolar nuclear race during the Cold War.

At 95: a.m. Moscow time, the Tsar Bomba was dropped by a Tu-V bomber over the test site and exploded. The fireball produced by the explosion had a radius of meters. The mushroom cloud was nearly kilometers wide and about kilometers high, which is more than seven times the altitude of Mount Everest.

According to test data records, the hydrogen bomb's explosive equivalent was equivalent to ten times the total amount of explosives used in World War II, including the two atomic bombs dropped on that day.

When the Tsar Bomba hydrogen bomb was tested, all buildings in the test area were destroyed and all 15,000 animals used in the experiment died.

It can be seen that the shock wave generated by the explosion spread as far as 1000 kilometers, and even Finland felt the tremors noticeably.

At the explosion site, a three-meter-thick layer of ice within a diameter of twenty kilometers was melted.

Even the early warning radar and communication systems in Alaska, USA, 4000 kilometers away, were interrupted for twenty hours!
Not only that, the huge explosion also pushed the Eurasian continent southward by nine millimeters!

This is the mainland section!

They were actually moved because of the explosion of Big Ivan, which shows its enormous power!
The most important thing is that this test explosion was only an aerial test. If it were to touch the ground, the destructive power would definitely be further increased!

It can be seen from this that this type of hydrogen bomb is the most powerful bomb in terms of size, weight, power and other comprehensive data among all types of bombs ever detonated in human history!
The name of Big Ivan is absolutely well-deserved!
Now, the country is actually eyeing Big Ivan. Lin Zehao really doesn't know whether he should praise the other party for having a dream or just daydreaming.

"Big Ivan? Are you sure?"

"If I can really get you Big Ivan, what bargaining chips do you plan to use to make the deal?"

"First of all, I have no interest in any official position, and a simple money transaction is absolutely impossible."

"Think about it, what chips do you have left that you can use to trade?"

Lin Zehao narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a meaningful tone.

Things like Big Ivan, although the panel data is very high, even ranks second in scale among all known explosions in the world, second only to the Chicxulub meteorite crater event that caused the extinction of dinosaurs.

However, after this test explosion, the top leaders of the Polar Bear Alliance have realized that Big Ivan cannot be used in actual military operations at all.

There are serious defects in both the delivery system and target search.
