I Have a Little Black Hole

v1 Chapter 317: Laomei's nuclear technology strength

According to public data, the UGM-133A ballistic missile, as the core of the American sea-based nuclear force, is a three-stage solid missile like the Trident IC-4 missile.

However, it uses many unprecedented new technologies, including the new NEPE-75 (Nitrate Plasticized Polyether-75) high-energy propellant, carbon fiber epoxy shell, carbon carbon extendable nozzle, GPS/starlight/inertial joint guidance . The range is 3837 nautical miles (7100 kilometers)-4000 nautical miles (7400 kilometers) at full load.

The UGM-133A missile has a much larger volume. It can carry 8 MK-5 reentry vehicles plus 8 W-88 nuclear warheads of 475,000 tons. At this time, its range is as high as 11,000 kilometers.

Under full load, the number of Trident IID-5 nuclear warheads thrown can be increased to 14, but of course the range will be reduced. However, under the provisions of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, only up to 8 nuclear warheads are carried??.

The circular probability error of the UGM-133A ballistic missile reentry vehicle can reach 90 meters when GPS provides accuracy correction. Such high accuracy makes the Trident IID-5 capable of conducting the first wave of attacks and hitting hard targets. Strike against the Soviet Union's reinforced intercontinental missile silos and reinforced underground strategic headquarters.

It can carry 8 warheads of the W-76 IV independent multiple reentry vehicle equivalent of 100,000 tons, and generally carries 10 warheads of the W-87-21 independent multiple reentry vehicle equivalent of 475,000 tons. The warhead of a steerable reentry vehicle.

The UGM-133A ballistic missile is mounted on the American Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine. Due to the large range, the nuclear submarine can be launched from the US Navy port to strike any position in the northern hemisphere, without having to patrol the deep sea or have to approach the other side’s heavily defended coastal waters. Danger.

Of course, you can just look at these public data. If you really believe it, then you will have seawater in your mind. Anyway, Lei Tiantang would never believe these public data.

Think about people who are as pure as themselves, they will ask the company's people to weaken the company's core product data when it is released, or simply release only the weakened version of the data.

Even if there are better products, only weaker versions are sold. Anyway, as long as the technology is always in the lead, when competitors finally catch up, they can immediately release more advanced versions so that the competitors will always follow them. Eat fart behind, this can even bring down your opponent!

Therefore, Lei Tiantang carefully disassembled the black and white "Trident" ballistic missile in front of him with the cooperation of Kuafu. In this process, in addition to detailed surveying and mapping of each part, he also focused on the missile. The solid fuels and other materials were tested in detail.

"I knew it! With Lao Mei's shameless look, how could the published data be true!" Lei Tiantang looked at the simulation data of the "Trident" ballistic missile displayed by Kuafu with a smile.

After a busy night, by around 5 a.m. the next morning, thanks to Kuafu’s powerful parallel working capabilities, the material performance of this missile has been basically tested, the missile’s various engine engines and nuclear warhead vehicles, etc. The structure is also clearly mapped out.

Then Kuafu used his world-leading computing and simulation capabilities to perform simulation experiments on these data, and the data obtained was obviously much higher than the data released by the United States!

"Yes, boss, look, based on the solid fuel of this "Trident" ballistic missile and the performance of engines at all levels, its range can reach 13,000 kilometers with these four nuclear warheads!

Coupled with the various advanced navigation systems of the ballistic missile itself, and various high-precision navigation equipment on the vehicle equipped with a nuclear warhead, its hit accuracy can definitely reach within 50 meters! It can be said that it means hitting that!

I think the data released by the United States should be at least 15 years ago, or even 20 years ago! With the speed of the 20-year technological explosion, Lao Mei has never stopped improving this "Trident" ballistic missile!

So with the current data, I think it should be very normal. Such advanced data is of no use, because even with the data they released 15-20 years ago, the performance of this "Trident" ballistic missile It is also world-leading, and can make Lao America's sea-based nuclear deterrence capabilities invincible.

Before no country can surpass this data, there is no point in publishing the real data we know now! "Kuafu also recognizes the boss's complaints.

"Yes, it's me and I do the same, isn't our company doing this now!" Lei Tiantang smiled.

He is in a good mood now, even if he didn’t sleep all night, he didn’t feel tired mentally or physically. One is that his current physical fitness is abnormal, and the other most important reason is that he is doing things that he finds interesting. , It's like a game fan just started playing a long-awaited big production game.

"Lao Mei's nuclear warhead technology is also very good! But why are there only 4 nuclear warheads installed on each "Trident" ballistic missile now?" Lei Tiantang asked strangely when he looked at the nuclear warhead he disassembled on the ground. Tao.

"Hehe, just like the boss you often cry poor, Lao Mei is also very short of money! Although they can cut wool from all over the world, the huge fiscal deficit will still affect all aspects of the country.

As a matter of fact, nuclear weapons are not everything that is right after they are built. Nuclear warheads have a "shelf life" like ordinary products~lightnovelpub.net~. You should know that a nuclear weapon is composed of thousands of parts, and the "life" of each component is relatively long. Big difference.

For example, the half-lives of deuterium and tritium elements are only about 10 years. These materials need to be replaced in time to ensure the reliability of nuclear weapons. It is equivalent to saying that the maintenance of nuclear bombs is the continuous re-manufacture of nuclear bombs.

At the same time, the maintenance cost of nuclear weapons is also very high. Taking the US military as an example, it needs to spend about 25 billion US dollars to maintain nuclear weapons each year, including the renewal and routine maintenance of old nuclear weapons. This is also a high expenditure for the US military.

After the United States and the Soviet Union reached an agreement on the number of nuclear bombs in the United States, both countries have maintained a level of around 6,000. The quantity is credible, because even this quantity is enough to destroy the opponent and even bring the entire earth back to the Stone Age. No matter how large it is, it doesn't make much sense, it's just a waste of money.

Even in the old United States, there have always been voices of continuing to reduce the number of nuclear weapons, because the maintenance cost of these nuclear weapons is really unacceptable.

Moreover, the "Trident" ballistic missile carrying 4 state-of-the-art nuclear warheads is enough to launch a devastating attack. In this era when nuclear wars will hardly break out, this deterrence is enough! Kuafu explained to Lei Tiantang after checking the data on the Internet.
