Chapter 689
The weather was very hot, but the weather was very hot.
Compared to Chief Zhao, who was ecstatic, after hearing about the effect of the rain catalytic bomb.
Political Commissar Lei also stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the conference room.
His eyes flashed with an unprecedented light, and he couldn’t wait to ask:
“Su kid, how much rain can one shell of this rain-catalyzing bomb you mentioned bring?”
“What is the approximate range of this kind of shell?”
Under the burning gaze of Political Commissar Lei, Su Mo immediately said:
“In my imagination, rain-catalyzing bombs are divided into three types: medium, high, and ultra-high.”
“Medium rain-catalyzing bombs can cause heavy rain within a radius of 200 kilometers, with a 24-hour rainfall of 50 to 99.9 mm.”
“High Rain bombs can cause heavy rain within a radius of 400 kilometers, with a 24-hour rainfall of 100 to 249.9 mm. ”
“Super-high-volume rain bombs can cause extremely heavy rain within a radius of 600 kilometers, with a 24-hour rainfall of more than 250 mm.”
“As for the range… the default is 1,000 kilometers.”
“It doesn’t matter if the range is not enough, because the rain catalytic bomb can carry medium-range, long-range, or intercontinental missiles as a propulsion system.”
After hearing Su Mo’s words, the conference room instantly rang with gasps.
Chief Zhao and Political Commissar Lei looked at each other, and both saw incredible shock in each other’s eyes!
If the effect of this rain catalytic bomb can really achieve what Su Mo said.
Once it is developed and released, it will be a strategic-level weapon!
First of all, it can effectively solve the problem of water resource shortage in the northwest region of China by artificially controlling rainfall.
Ensure that rainfall is provided to farmland on demand during the dry season, greatly increase crop yields, and ensure food security.
Secondly, it can provide a huge advantage for the Dragon Army at the tactical level!
Especially in the enemy’s territory, by creating torrential rain and floods, it can create an incalculable disaster for the enemy to a great extent!
For example, in the upstream of the enemy’s reservoir dam and other important locations, a large number of rain catalytic bombs are placed to make it rain 24 hours a day.
As long as the dam breaks, the raging flood will be like a beast, swallowing up everything downstream!
I thought that if this technology was mastered by foreign countries in advance and secretly used in the upstream of the dam reservoir of Dragon Country.
When the dam breaks, countless people and livestock will be buried in the flood, houses and fields will be destroyed, and corpses will be everywhere where the flood passes!
This horrible scene only flashed in my mind for a moment.
Chief Zhao, Political Commissar Lei and the officers present were already horrified, and cold sweat soaked their shirts on their backs.
“Pah!”
After lighting a cigarette with trembling hands.
Chief Zhao blew out a smoke ring and asked seriously:
“Su kid.”
“Is the rain catalytic bomb a weapon that is difficult to develop?”
“Is it possible for the United States, Russia, and Japan to master it in advance with their technology?”
Hearing this, Su Mo frowned and thought for a moment and said:
“The difficulty of developing the rain catalytic bomb weapon can be said to be very high.”
“If compared, it is more difficult than controlled nuclear fusion and quantum lithography.”
“As for the United States, Russia, and Japan, will they have mastered this technology in advance?”
“In my opinion, Russia, which is technologically backward, and Japan, which is strictly guarded by the United States, do not have this ability.”
At this point, Su Mo paused and continued:
“As for the United States… According to past data, They do have meteorological weapons. ”
“During the South Vietnam War, the United States used airplanes to spread silver iodide and other substances into the clouds to achieve artificial rainfall.”
“It caused great difficulties for South Vietnam’s military operations and logistical supplies.”
“But the method used by the United States at that time was ordinary artificial rainfall.”
“It must be done under specific conditions, which is completely different from rain-catalyzing bombs.”
“However, the South Vietnam War has been more than 50 years ago, and the United States’ technology must have made great progress.”
“As for whether they have mastered new meteorological weapons similar to rain-catalyzing bombs now…it’s hard to say…”
“In short, we can never be careless when facing the United States.”
“We still have a gap with the United States in the military and technology fields.
. ”
“Although this gap is being narrowed at a very fast speed every year, it still exists at present.”
After hearing Su Mo’s words, Chief Zhao nodded thoughtfully.
As the United States, which has been sitting firmly on the throne of the Blue Star for many years.
Although it is now declining and declining.
But after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse!
You can despise the enemy strategically, but you must pay attention to the enemy tactically!
In Su Mo’s view, a lion will fight a rabbit with all its strength!
Only if you think your opponent is strong enough, you will not take it lightly and leave opportunities for the opponent!
After extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, Chief Zhao continued to ask: “Su kid.”
“How much does it cost to develop this rain catalytic bomb you mentioned?”
“Also, after the successful development, how much does it cost to make one? ”
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Su Mo counted on his fingers and said:
“The R&D cost is not high, about 200 billion is enough.”
“As for the cost, because it requires a lot of high-tech technologies and materials, the cost will be a bit expensive.”
“A medium-volume rainfall bomb costs about 8 million.”
“A high-volume rainfall bomb costs about 15 million.”
“As for the ultra-high-volume rainfall bomb, one costs about 30 million. ”
After hearing the R&D and production costs of the rain-catalyzing bomb.
The passionate hearts of Chief Zhao and Political Commissar Lei gradually calmed down.
Two hundred billion R&D costs are indeed not expensive.
But the cost of each bomb… is much more expensive than a missile.
And when attacking ultra-long-range targets, it is necessary to use long-range missiles as a propulsion system, which will be a huge expense.
However… according to the effect described by Su Mo.
A super-high-volume rain bomb costing 30 million yuan will cause the enemy to suffer losses of 300 million or even more than 3 billion!
The importance of strategic significance cannot be measured by money!
Chief Zhao lit another cigarette and slowly said:
“Su kid.”
“If this research is carried out, how long will it take?”
“In addition to funds, what else do you need?”
Su Mo sat up straight and replied with a serious face: “Chief, the research and development of rain-catalyzing bombs is quite difficult. ”
“If we go all out, it will take about half a year at the fastest and a year at the slowest.”
“During this period, we must form a top interdisciplinary scientific research team!”
“It must include experts in meteorology, physics, chemistry, materials science, missile science and other fields.”
