Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 94

[This is the High Altitude Air Defense Missile Development Building.]

The atmosphere in the research building, which was guided by Natasha, was full of excitement.

goal has already been achieved.

In particular, the researchers seemed to be very excited about the fact that they were on their way home after accepting the successful results.

[No matter how you look at it, there doesn’t seem to be any people who can go to other places?]

Natasha smiled at her hinted joke.

Next, she guided me to the Hypersonic Cruise Missile Development Building, which was a bit far from the High Altitude Air Defense Missile Development Center.

Perhaps because research is still in progress, most of the activities were busy here, where the relaxation felt right before was not found.

[Welcome to.]

Surprised by our appearance, one of the Russian researchers hurriedly approached us.

While having a conversation with Natasha, he immediately leads us to the site of the combustion experiment.

[The experiment in progress is a combustion experiment of a dual-mode ramjet engine.]

The dual-mode ramjet engine refers to a combined cycle engine that integrates a ramjet and a scramjet.

The reason why we are designing with such a structure is that the hypersonic cruise missile we are going to develop requires the characteristics of both engines.

Perhaps I thought I had no knowledge of him, so the researcher started explaining with a triumphant expression on his face.

[In the case of hypersonic missiles, it is virtually impossible to increase thrust beyond Mach 4 without a scramjet method. However, in the case of a scramjet, if the speed drops even a little due to a sudden change of direction, the engine speed drops sharply and it is impossible to restart it. so······.][So, the propulsion method of the ramjet engine is required, but it is also impossible to obtain a thrust of Mach 3 or higher, and for that reason, a dual-mode combined cycle engine equipped with two combustors was developed… Is that right?][··········.]

The researcher rolled his eyes at my words.

[The progress is quite fast.]

He smiles as if it’s not a big deal, then turns the topic around a bit, and he continues the explanation with a surprised expression on his face.

[This is a field that has already been in progress for 10 years. In fact, the propellant field is already in the stage of completion.]

If you think about it in reverse, it also meant that we had to rush the development of the field we were assigned to.

A actuator and precision induction system that enable precise guidance even at hypersonic speeds. And the development of a material that can withstand tremendous frictional heat.

but do you know that

In hindsight, that part is already in a state of being developed.

Nevertheless, there are many reasons why we do not rush to release it to the world, one of which is for continuous exchange with Russia.

From Kinzal to the avant-garde.

To obtain the technology for another hypersonic weapon that Russia is developing, which Putin did not disclose to me.

[I will do my best.]

Contrary to words, I have no intention of giving it away quickly.

In fact, those same skills apply to Kinzal and Avant-garde.

In other words, for Putin, if this development succeeds, he will be encouraged to develop them on his own.

If possible, we should try to create a situation where they will also propose joint development to us.

‘Avant-garde…’

The more I thought about it, the more greedy I became.

It soars to the stratosphere and mesosphere using the propellant of a ballistic missile, and then separates the glider-type warhead.

After that, it glides in an unpredictable trajectory and hits its target, which is actually a tricky weapon to block.

If we put it on our Aegis ship together with the zircon we are currently developing, it would be like creating two spears of the gods, but if you are not greedy, that would be even weirder.

[Maybe by the end of next year?]

As his thoughts deepened, the researcher urged him again.

He replies with an awkward smile, then looks at the propellant being tested again, and he lets out a long sigh and turns the subject.

[By the way, once that is completed, the fate of the carrier and other battleships should be regarded as the end. Including ground targets, of course.]

He nodded his head in agreement.

Honestly Mach 5 or more. In some cases, the technology to block missiles flying at 9 or higher didn’t exist before the return.

If that’s the moment it’s launched from an aircraft or a ship, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the target is fate.

[Tell Mr. Putin that he will be visiting Russia soon.]

He smiled softly and turned to Natasha.

As if she misunderstood the reason, she first raised the issue of joint development of underground resources.

[Are you starting a resource development business?][Ah! Come to think of it, there was a problem.][··········.]

******

After all, there was only one month left in 2002.

It has already been several months since the Russian researchers who participated in the joint development of anti-aircraft missiles returned to Korea.

In the meantime, we continued to renovate some software and guidance systems to suit our situation, and today the results appeared for the first time in the world.

[The target has been fired.]

At the same time as the announcement, it was a buzzing sound that hit my ear.

Radar, almost the size of a 25-ton truck, started working for detection.

At first glance, it has a shape similar to that of the THAAD radar that was once installed in Korea, and it is a monster with a detection range of 1,500 km.

“According to the message of the Minister of Defense, is it possible to increase the detection range as much as possible?”

The president, who had only a few months left in office, was present as a guest today.

His expression was exhilarated, as if proud of being able to build a ballistic missile defense system within his tenure.

“The maximum detection range can be extended to 2,900 kilometers.”

“If that’s enough, there will be another uproar in China.”

“Actually, even in that state, it is enough to be stimulated. At 1,500 kilometers, it comes under surveillance even in some inland areas of China.”

The president nodded his head at that.

Judging from his facial expression, he doesn’t seem to be worried about the aftermath, perhaps because there is an excuse for responding to North Korea’s nuclear program.

Tung!

As the conversation continued, the sound of the ejection tube lid being blown was heard.

Soon, the missiles soaring along with a huge haze from the multi-pulse rocket flew to the other side of the sky in an instant, disappearing from view, and people’s eyes turned to the screen on one side of the test site.

“What is the maximum range?”

“It is now 900 kilos.”

900km is the same as the range of block 1a/b class of SM3.

In other words, it means that it has the same level of exosphere interception system.

However, the improvement will continue, and if the multi-pulse rocket is composed of three stages, it is possible to increase the range up to 2900 km, like the later version of the SM3.

“That’s great. I don’t think the missiles are that big either.”

Moreover, as the president said, it is only 350 millimeters in diameter.

That means that it can be mounted on the vertical launch tube of Aegis ships, and it can be equipped with an exoatmospheric intercept system regardless of location.

Perhaps that thing will set a new paradigm for ballistic missile defense systems.

“Really, the target missile is Hyunmoo?”

“That’s right.”

“Didn’t Hyunmoo change the trajectory and make it difficult to intercept?”

“Anyway, due to that problem, the flight algorithm for target missiles has been revamped. In other words, it will play the role of an ordinary ballistic missile. For reference, when mass production begins, we will be able to have a system that can respond to trajectory changes.”

“So far…”

The president let out a short exclamation and then looked at the screen again.

A moment later, as the target’s signal disappears from the black and white screen, a smile spreads across his lips.

“Congratulations, Chairman Jean.”

It was, of course, something to be congratulated on.

As long as we succeeded in that, we have secured the ability to respond to any ballistic missile.

But then the president spit out unexpected words.

“We plan to inform the media about the success of the development as soon as possible.”

“·················ogue.”

“Isn’t that a good excuse? North Korea is preparing for a nuclear test, and we are just coping with it.”

He seemed to have had that in mind.

He smiled and nodded, and he stiffened his face again and said:

“Maybe five years is the limit. The Maginot Line that can deter North Korea from developing nuclear weapons.”

“·················ogue.”

“Information says that North Korea smuggled in reprocessed plutonium from a light-water reactor power plant in Russia during the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, the purity is too low, so it seems that the method has been studied for a while. Well, it seems like it will still be the same today, so I think 5 years is the Maginot line.”

In fact, I also expect that North Korea’s nuclear test will take about that much time.

According to history, the explosive power they obtained in the first experiment was only 400T (based on TNT).

Considering that the minimum explosive power to make a nuclear bomb is about 10,000 tons, we will have to find a more enrichment method, which will take 5 years.

“That means we have to deal with it somehow in five years.”

The president nodded at that.

5 years.

It doesn’t feel like a very long time.

“Attack helicopters will soon be equipped with an armed system, right? When will we see the results?”

The road from the test site to the parking lot.

The president suddenly showed interest in the development progress of the attack helicopter.

Perhaps he too would like to see the results within his term of office.

Even so, his expression brightens when he tells him that he will show a fully equipped weapon system around next month.

“Really, was the number of fighters acquired by you originally 120?”

The president, who was just about to get into the car, turned around and said:

He probably didn’t mention it because he didn’t know what had already been confirmed, and he seemed to have something else to say.

“Yes, but.”

“Actually, one of the presidential candidates in the current primary is quite interested in the matter. This is his argument, and he said that if the ultimate goal of the fighter we are developing is the fifth generation anyway, it would be right to increase the number of introductions in the future.”

It was a claim that was in line with my plan.

The main objective is to deal with the absence of the F-15 right now, but considering the models that will be retired in the future, it is true that that amount is insufficient.

Moreover, since the aircraft currently under development is aimed at the 5th generation through version upgrades, the continuation of the business is not an option but a necessity.

“I don’t know who you are, but I want to meet you.”

In fact, it was already possible to guess who the owner of the claim was.

A person who ascends to the presidency after the current president.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

He is a style that can make such a claim.

“I would like to meet Chairman Jin once there, too, but I will arrange a seat for you soon, so would you like to meet him?”

There was no reason for me to refuse.

Well, meeting one of the contenders before the election is over is a big burden for a businessperson, but I already know the outcome.

Rather, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take this opportunity to know the exact tendency in advance.

“I do that.”

After a short answer, he got into the car and saw him off.

As soon as I was about to close the door, the chief of staff who approached me hurriedly stopped me, then approached the president and whispered something.

“Hmm······.”

His expression frowned.

He was puzzled, but he couldn’t openly ask.

The only clue I got was the words that came out of the president’s mouth the moment the door closed.

“First, dispatch a Coast Guard patrol boat to Dokdo.”

“·················ogue.”

******

[This afternoon, Japan announced that it would start a marine survey near Dokdo. The South Korean government is planning to dispatch a Coast Guard patrol boat to Dokdo in response to that…]

The next day, almost all the news poured out concerns about Japan’s abrupt maritime investigation policy near Dokdo.

This, too, is an event that does not fit with history.

For a while, I searched the memory with a blank face.

‘Certainly, we are the first to dispatch a marine survey ship, right? Even in 2006….’

As I recall, it certainly was.

But this is the exact opposite.

I still have no way of knowing how things are going.

[Recently, the atmosphere of hate in Japan has been on the rise. The government is taking this as a serious situation…]

Another channel that I unintentionally rotated was talking about the hatred that started in Japanese society.

According to one of the panelists, after the World Cup, such an atmosphere began to rapidly develop.

It is difficult to judge whether that is true, and it seems certain that the tide of history has changed drastically.

[Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe has stated that he will regard the dispatch of South Korea’s coast guard ship as a serious provocation.]

News from the Japanese media made the topic of the reaction of Shinzo Abe for many years.

It’s like watching Abe in 2020.

In fact, I knew that Abe was a person who did not show such an openly far-right tendency until the early 2000s.

What’s more, it’s surprising that he was the chief cabinet secretary at this time.

I don’t understand why the world has changed so rapidly.

‘This is the alternative……..’
