Xing Xingkai took the initiative to find Yang Xing this time, which means to be courteous and then to fight. After all, nuclear weapons have exceeded the general weapon category and are in a sense important weapon of the country. No matter how great the achievements Yang Xing has made before, the central government will not hand over this authority to him. Judging from past experience, although Yang Xing sometimes does his own way, he has always been cautious in keeping with the red line and does not mean to cross the boundaries. Otherwise, he would have obtained the Soviet secret file and naturally had the opportunity to obtain a nuclear bomb, but he did not take action.

Later, even though he had a deep relationship with the military or had close personal relationships with the national leaders, even when many domestic and foreign forces coveted his wealth, he still chose to solve the problem by himself. He did not seek help from the central government, and did not choose to kill him in large numbers, but tried to use technical means to solve the problem, which left a good impression on the central leadership circle. Even if the leadership changed its leadership, he had more requests than orders.

Therefore, after learning that Yang Xing threatened European and American consortiums with a suitcase nuclear bomb, the central government was shocked, but did not directly order arresting people for investigation. Instead, Xing Xingkai first asked him to touch Yang Xing's depth and was awarding him a naval medal for his achievements on the "Liaoning" aircraft carrier, which itself showed that he did not mean to tear his face. Yang Xing is now revenge, and even the scar on his head has gone. He is very happy, so he doesn't play any trick of playing hard to get, and tells the inside story.

The authenticity of suitcase nuclear bombs is unquestionable. At the peak of the Cold War, the former Soviet Union faced the Americans' advantages in nuclear missile accuracy and the harsh reality that the nuclear missiles of this party were intercepted after the launch of the "Star Wars" plan, which changed the combat thinking and took a different approach from simply developing conventional nuclear bomb carriers such as missiles, aircrafts and submarines. Consider greatly reducing the size and weight of nuclear weapons, and then taking advantage of the relatively loose immigration environment of the West, sending spies to infiltrate into Western society and hiding one or two small nuclear weapons in key cities. Due to the high degree of urbanization in the West and the dense buildings and numerous personnel, once the nuclear war is on the verge of breaking out, these cities will become the best trump card for the Soviet Union to threaten the enemy, with the effect being better than sending hundreds of thousands of troops to occupy the enemy.

For this reason, the Soviet Union arranged many "sinking fish" spies in the West. They lived in Western society for a long time and were completely integrated into the lives and work of local people. Perhaps they would not accept the order to activate nuclear weapons in their entire lives. But once the Soviet Union made a desperate effort, the role played by these people compared with the suicide bombing terrorists sent by bin Laden, is really a gap between universities and kindergartens.

Fortunately, after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, these "sinking fish" lost their service. They were all extremely precious intelligence resources. Yang Xing had received a group of people in the past, and helped Ariksai fulfill his last wish. He handed over a large number of KGB "sinking fish" materials to the Chinese intelligence department, providing powerful help to domestic intelligence agencies and the Western fight.

What these "sinking fish" need to be activated is suitcase nuclear bombs, but they encountered considerable resistance during the execution process. The real suitcase nuclear bombs have never been brought to the West. Most of them can only be regarded as "dirty bombs", using some radiation waste to create nuclear pollution. The most realistic problem facing suitcase nuclear bombs is how to miniaturize nuclear weapons as much as possible. This was also the focus of the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, but they were not successful in the end.

Nuclear bombs are called atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs according to the explosion mechanism. Atomic bombs use high-energy** to compress the nuclear fission material plutonium or uranium to a critical volume in a very short time. Under huge pressure, the atomic chains of uranium or plutonium are broken to form fission reactions. They are collectively called atomic bombs, which is also a must-pass entry for every nuclear country.

The hydrogen bomb causes the hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium to undergo nuclear fusion reactions (thermonuclear reactions) to instantly release huge energy nuclear weapons, but the premise is to provide sufficient energy and high temperature to ignite deuterium or tritium, so a small nuclear bomb is generally needed as a detonator. It can be seen that if the atomic bomb is to reduce its volume, it must use a high-energy ** of sufficient weight. At present, the best nuclear weapons, high-energy ***, can only be carried by one person. As for the hydrogen bomb, it needs to be detonated by a nuclear bomb. The volume and weight will only be larger. How easy is it to be reduced to a suitcase to be loaded?

As for the red mercury nuclear bombs that some former Soviet nuclear weapons scholars praised for their popular red mercury bombs after the Cold War were even more unreliable. In theory, it has certain possibilities. In fact, it is a hydrogen bomb that uses a neutron source with radiation antimony mercury (commonly known as red mercury) as a neutron source. Compared with the general hydrogen bomb, the volume of atomic bombs is greatly reduced, and there is no critical mass limit for thermonuclear fusion, which makes the entire hydrogen bomb very small and the weight becomes lighter. However, since it was proposed by the Russians in 1992, no one has seen a practical "red mercury" until now. This reaction is also full of doubts, so Western nuclear scholars all think this is nonsense.

The Soviet secret file Yang Xing got included complete design drawings and parameters of suitcase nuclear bombs, but the expression of core nuclear materials was also vague. After analysis by his experts, it was concluded that the former Soviet Union did have conducted a lot of experiments on this, but the key issues have not been broken through. The so-called small nuclear weapons refer more to tactical nuclear weapons deployed on the front line of the NATO Warsaw Pact confrontation in Europe during the Cold War, such as nuclear shells and nuclear mines. Suitcase nuclear bombs do not exist at all!

"Then why do you dare to use this dud to scare Maeda Toshita?" Xing Xingkai is an old intelligence officer. He doesn't think that the Japanese would believe Yang Xing's words without verification. That forced the backbone of the two major consortiums to commit suicide. Yang Xing didn't have any real information on how to blackmail the other party. Yang Xing replied with a smile, "That's because I used a new material we developed as a replacement for 'red mercury', that is metal hydrogen. Maeda and his friends saw the video after the metal hydrogen explosion, and they couldn't help but believe it."

Xing Xingkai is not unfamiliar with the metal hydrogen that Yang Xing talks about, but he was still surprised to hear that Yang Xing had developed a real object and quickly let Yang Xing explain it clearly. Hydrogen is the top element in the periodic table, which shows that its composition is the simplest, and its atoms are composed of a proton and an electron. At the end of the 19th and early 20th century, with the introduction of quantum science, the discipline barrier between modern physics and chemistry was broken, and scientists entered the exploration of the microscopic world of observing atoms. Hydrogen, as the simplest element, became the most suitable research object.

Soon people used technical means to turn gaseous hydrogen into liquid and solid states. In 1935, British scientists predicted that under a certain high pressure, any insulator could become a conductive metal. However, the pressure required for different materials to convert into conductive metals is different. Some materials such as phosphorus have successfully obtained conductive bodies and obtaining stable metal hydrogen is undoubtedly the object of research by scientists from all over the world.

According to scientists' theoretical calculations, metal hydrogen will be a high-temperature superconductor with high density and high energy storage characteristics, and has a very broad application prospect. Metal hydrogen is an ideal room temperature superconductor, and superconducting materials are excellent conductors without resistance. However, the superconducting transition temperature of superconducting materials that have been successfully developed are mostly around minus 250℃. Such low-temperature working conditions seriously limit the application of superconductors. Metal hydrogen undoubtedly provides a glimmer of hope for getting rid of the low-temperature burden on superconducting technology.

Using metal hydrogen transmission can cancel large substations, with the transmission efficiency reaching more than 99, which can increase the world's power generation by more than a quarter. If a generator is made of metal hydrogen, its weight is less than 10 of the weight of an ordinary generator, and its output power can be increased by dozens or even hundreds of times, which will mean a major ** for world energy.

Metal hydrogen also has great military value. Rockets now mostly use liquid hydrogen as fuel, so the rocket launch stage must be made into a large insulation container similar to the principle of thermos bottles, but the low temperature of liquid hydrogen is ensured. If metal hydrogen is used instead of liquid hydrogen, the rocket can be made very clever and small. Metal hydrogen used in aviation engines can greatly increase the speed, many times more than the speed of sound. Since the volume of metal hydrogen of the same mass is only 1/7 of the liquid hydrogen, it is used to replace the hydrogen fuel cells that are being vigorously developed by various countries. It can meet the demand for automobile energy in terms of volume and weight, and can fundamentally solve the noise and exhaust pollution problems caused by traffic jams that plague big cities.

The most important thing is that metal hydrogen stores huge energy, and its explosive power is 25-35 times that of the same mass TNT**, and it is the most powerful chemical explosive known at present. In the international community, it is listed as the fourth generation nuclear weapon with antimatter bombs and particle beam weapons. It is used directly as the ** that detonates the fission reaction of atomic bombs, or isotope deuterium and tritium, and tritium, isotope deuterium, and tritium, to make solid metal spheres. Because its density is higher than that of other forms (such as gases or ordinary solids at low temperatures), it can improve nuclear fusion efficiency, and the volume and weight of hydrogen bombs can be greatly reduced. In this sense, the emergence of metal hydrogen marks the practicality of suitcase nuclear bombs.

However, the concept of metal hydrogen has been proposed for decades, and scientists from all over the world have not obtained actual finished metal hydrogen products. The reason is that although the method of obtaining it is simple, the manufacturing capacity of related industries cannot keep up. According to theoretical analysis, metal hydrogen can be obtained as long as millions of high pressures are reached, but once the pressure is released, it will return to normal and has not found a suitable preservation method. However, countries have seen its advantages and are still unwilling to give up. At present, there are more than 100 high-pressure laboratories in the world, and they are all working hard to study metal hydrogen.
