The neutron bomb is the third generation of nuclear weapons in the history of human nuclear weapons. The first generation and the second generation are atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. If this kind of radioactive material spillage was placed in the past, it would have destroyed a large area of survivability. If it is placed in the present, it is more likely to cause malignant mutations of living things.
Li Qingshui used to divide the mutations of creatures into two types - one is benign mutations, the abilities evolved by creatures are evolved for its survival - this is also the direction in which most creatures evolve. Take the mutated tiger as a representative. The mutated tiger may have thicker muscle fibers, sharper claws, and faster speed—these are all abilities evolved for survival and predation, and they are benign abilities.
This benignity is not based on human beings, but on the creature itself—in other words, even the mutation of the big willow tree, Li Qingshui attributed it to him as a benign mutation—no matter how strong or huge it evolved, No matter how smart and prey on the human brain, it is an ability acquired for its own better survival, and it is a benign mutation.
But malignant mutations are different. A malignant mutation is a kind of madness, a mutation that completely ignores biological instincts and the rules of nature.
The example is very simple - it is the former devil's moss.
All its destruction, all its aggression and desire, is not for itself - if it could, it would destroy everything and then itself.
This is not a habit of biological instinct at all - plants and trees are all living things, even the sawgrass that likes to suck human blood the most outside the forest now does not suck blood purely for killing people, it is bloody only because it needs nutrients, not simply For destruction, therefore, although the behavior is the same, the meaning is different.
It’s like in society, many people will go for vendettas—this is understood—revenge is within the scope of human nature—but if it’s okay to stab someone you don’t know twice and then kill yourself twice—it’s either mental illness or abnormality .
Therefore, the so-called abnormal mutation is a malignant mutation—this kind of mutation will never occur in nature—the natural world will produce a failed mutation, become useless and strange, and finally be eliminated, but it will not produce abnormal mutation— All metamorphosis can only be man-made.
And the "Second Epoch" means that after the end of the world, the reason why human beings do not use nuclear weapons even when facing a very serious threat is because they are afraid of this vicious mutation. After all, no one is a fool, even a politician who doesn't understand the laws of biology, but everyone has read movies and books and can guess this possibility, so this hole card - no one dares to move.
But fortunately, unlike nuclear bombs that are heavily polluting and powerful like hydrogen bombs, neutron bombs are clean bombs in nuclear bombs—how clean is it? When a hydrogen bomb explodes, there will still be nuclear pollution within a hundred years, but after a neutron bomb explodes, ordinary people can enter the area a day later. However, compared with hydrogen bombs, neutron bombs generally have a small yield and relatively low power.
However, this smallness is naturally small compared to hydrogen bombs—but all nuclear weapons are more destructive than other weapons.
And the neutron bomb has a characteristic - that is to destroy the human body - or living organisms.
After the neutron bomb explodes, the explosion core is small, but the radiation area is very large - after the neutron bomb explodes, a neutron stream is released - the neutron stream has no effect on buildings, but it can cause great damage to living organisms - and It can go through walls and even steel plates.
For example, when a small neutron bomb explodes 300 meters away, the people in the house who were not affected by the blast wave will be killed by this neutron flow—but the house is not damaged at all.
It's an out-and-out murderous egg!
"How powerful is this explosion?" Liu Chang pointed to the neutron warhead.
"Hundred tons." The third lady pointed to a line of small Chinese characters on the neutron warhead.
"What is the concept of a hundred tons?" Liu Chang is not very clear about the calculation method of the power of nuclear warheads.
"Well, the hundred-ton level is equivalent to the power of one hundred tons of TNT explosives exploding together." The third lady explained: "But because it is a nuclear bomb, the energy is more concentrated, and the explosion range is definitely not as wide as that of one hundred tons of TNT explosives. The energy is more concentrated, so the power in the explosion area is also greater."
"One hundred tons of TNT explosives!" Liu Chang lamented. He once watched a video showing the power of a one hundred tons of TNT explosion, that is, the shock wave of the explosion can overturn a 10,000-ton ship, and it is no problem to blow up a small hill. So, he began to worry about the power of the bullet, "Then can this thing be used in a hand cannon?"
"Old Zhang said it will definitely work. He modified it." The third lady said with a look of reminiscence, "He seemed to say that the explosion range of the neutron bomb would not exceed 50 meters, at most 30 meters Up and down, the radiation wave of the neutron stream may be able to knock down two or three hundred meters."
"The energy of the explosion is so concentrated?" Liu Chang's eyes lit up—as if he had found what he wanted all at once—to be honest, he has never had a good way to deal with Li Qingshui or the giant beast, but if this neutron bomb hand cannon If it's really that easy to use, then it's a different matter - as long as the bombardment hits the target, even a super life of the level of a giant eel will be killed in one shot.
"Well, this is the deduced data. Is it right or wrong? Wasn't it the kiloton neutron bomb tested by the United States before, with an explosion range of 300 meters and a neutron stream radiation of 800 meters? Based on this and the proton trajectory The one that comes out is ten times smaller, but the radiation range will not be ten times smaller. If you use it, you have to pay attention to your own safety." Looking at Liu Chang's expression, the third lady obviously guessed that he wanted to use this weapon to deal with a very powerful monsters or enemies.
"Well, I don't know how to use it unless it is absolutely necessary." Liu Chang was a little embarrassed to ask for someone else's nuclear weapons when entering the door.
Sure enough, seeing Liu Chang hesitated, the third lady also had a look of embarrassment on her face.
"I don't have the authority to give you the shells. You have to tell the tiger yourself when the tiger comes. You can take other things as you like."
"Well, I know the rules." Liu Chang nodded and smiled - the women around Leihuo are worthy of being "chosen from thousands of people", and everyone who can stand up and speak is so "upscale"-neither humble nor overbearing, and very With negotiating affinity, even rejecting other people's words is very refreshing and not offending.
"It's okay, I'll just wait. He won't come back too late, because there is really something urgent today."
