The world of shelter under the glacier

April 11, Year 1 of the Glacial Calendar.

8:00 am.

Cabinet of the Kingdom of the Sun.

"Prime Minister, does this really have to be the case?" At this moment, Foreign Minister Taro Aso seemed particularly restless, his face full of worry, anxiety, and a faint fear of the future fate of the Kingdom of the Sun.

"Taro-kun!"

Prime Minister Hatoyama said:

"Our Great Sun Empire has no choice, let alone a way out."

"have to do!"

"It has to be so!"

"Why……"

Then he let out a long sigh and said in a heavy tone: "For the land under our feet, our Great Sun Empire has paid too heavy a price!"

"Dear ministers!"

"Our nuclear power plants can only last another three to five years."

"Oil storage tanks are empty."

"Coal is also in danger."

"There's not even a ton of steel left."

“This is a barren land with nothing!!”

"We're out of food."

"A year ago, we had a population of more than 100 million. What about now?"

"There are just less than 50 million people."

"If the situation continues to deteriorate, our Great Sun Empire will soon be exterminated!!"

"now!!"

"The only choice is to take the risk again!!"

"Only by taking risks can we have a future!"

"I am willing to die for the Great Sun Empire!"

"Long live the Great Sun Empire!"

"Long live the Great Sun Empire!"

"Long live the Great Sun Empire!"

…

For a time, the crowd was excited.

For a while.

After the passion cooled down, one person said bitterly:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I would like to say that this nuclear bomb should be fired at the furry bear in the west!!"

"In such a small place, they actually plundered so much of our supplies. That's half a century's accumulation of the Great Sun Empire, and they just took it away!!"

"Forced us to attack country L last time, and now we have to be driven by the bald eagle again because of supplies..."

"hateful!"

"hateful!"

"idiot!!"

After venting his anger for a few words, the man asked in a deep voice to a gray-haired old man in the corner:

"Dean Yoshikawa."

"How long will it take for our country of the sun to have nuclear bombs?"

"Can you hurry up!!"

"no!"

"We can't go any faster."

"If you add any more, there will be big problems!"

"Our foundation is not strong!"

Dean Yoshikawa shook his head in distress.

Before the end, although the Sun Country was also a developed country with a solid technological foundation, it was not easy to build a nuclear bomb immediately.

First, the problem of raw materials.

Before the end of the world, all nuclear power plants in the Kingdom of the Sun were commercial-grade deep combustion, using light water reactors.

There is no problem in generating electricity.

But if you want to build a nuclear bomb, it seems impossible.

There is no precedent in the world for using a light water reactor to create an atomic bomb.

Nuclear bombs use heavy water reaction.

Light water reactors cannot produce nuclear weapons, and this raw material has always restricted the Sun Country's atomic bomb development process.

Second, there is the issue of talent.

Some people may wonder about this question. As a big country in science and technology, how could the Kingdom of the Sun not have relevant talent reserves for nuclear theory research?

But unfortunately, Asan and Ba Tie both have them, but Sun Kingdom really does not.

Due to the extremely high sensitivity and the close surveillance of the bald eagle, there is basically no complete nuclear weapons system in the Sun.

This is not something that a consortium can accomplish by just typing on keyboards in a cave, as we imagined.

Even if the whole world lets the Kingdom of the Sun do its work, the cultivation of talents, team building, establishment of theoretical systems, and breakthroughs in implosion technology will not happen overnight.

Third, there is the issue of the experimental site.

Many people say that since the country of the Sun has a developed electronics industry, it would be nice to use supercomputers to simulate nuclear explosions.

Unfortunately, no.

The reason is simple. Modeling requires actual test data, which is data sampled from countless probes and test items during a nuclear explosion. Otherwise, why would the major nuclear powers place so many tanks, cannons, aircraft, and warships at the test site?

Exploding for fun?

The bald eagle has to go bankrupt too.

As for the crowded Sun Islands, which one do you think is suitable?

In a word: No place to experiment!

Fourth, the issue of miniaturization of nuclear weapons.

A nuclear device of tens of tons is one thing, but reducing it to a nuclear warhead of hundreds or even kilograms is another thing.

The technological difficulty here is no less than upgrading a 14nm chip to 5nm.

Ah San Kingdom has had nuclear weapons for many years, but it still gets stuck here.

It is no secret to say that as long as miniaturization cannot be achieved, nuclear weapons can only be a mere display and cannot form a strategic deterrent.

Thousands of thoughts were running through my mind, but it only lasted a moment.

Dean Yoshikawa, who came back to his senses, said in a deep voice:

"Dear ministers and elders!"

"Although we in the Kingdom of the Sun are no longer under the curse, we can now develop nuclear weapons at will, but these things are not dirt pills that can be rubbed out with your hands... It is really not an easy task!!"

"Fastest."

"We can build nuclear weapons in as little as a year."

"Strive for the third year to miniaturize nuclear weapons and use them in actual combat."

"This time is also time for the development of ballistic missiles. After all, vehicle problems will also affect the strategic nuclear deterrence of our Sun Country."

“This aspect cannot be ignored either!!”

"good!"

"As long as you have an idea."

Prime Minister Hatoyama nodded and reminded: "Dean Yoshikawa, the situation in our country of the sun is not optimistic now, and nuclear weapons are needed. I hope you will remember it!!"

"Hi!"

"Prime Minister, please rest assured!"

"Everyone in the Nuclear Weapons Research Laboratory must go all out to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible!"

"I will never disappoint the Prime Minister; I will not disappoint you ministers; I will never disappoint the Great Sun Empire!!" Yoshikawa said solemnly.

"Your Majesty Prime Minister, if you ask me, we should simply vote for Heracles, or the King of Whales of the Arctic Ocean - Leviathan." One person suddenly suggested.

"alright!"

"We will discuss this matter later." Prime Minister Hatoyama did not want to say anything more here.

suddenly!

War Minister Kazuo Yamamoto stood up.

"Your Majesty Prime Minister."

"Dear ministers."

"Please rest assured that the Army Department is confident and capable of completing this targeted precision nuclear strike mission."

"snort!"

"Not necessarily?"

Before Yamamoto Kazuo finished speaking, Navy Minister Toyota couldn't help but sarcastically said:

"You reassure us?"

"A year ago, you were so confident in your words."

"The words are sonorous, powerful and impactful! But what's the result?"

"Being beaten by Country L, I lost all my armor and lost all my armor!"

"That's your guarantee!"

"This is the War Department!!"

“You horse shit can’t be trusted!!”

Although the Kingdom of the Sun no longer has a navy, the Admiralty still remains. People... have to have something to think about, right?

At the same time, the contradiction between the Army Department and the Navy Department became even more acute.

Why?

It’s all about resources.

Now that there is no navy, all resources are naturally given to the army, causing the conflict between the two sides to become worse.

Like oil cooking in a raging fire, it ignites at a moment's notice.

Although the Navy is gone, the Navy Department still has to come out from time to time to increase its presence.

Otherwise time will forget them.

So much so that now the Admiralty is opposing for the sake of opposing, showing a completely aggressive attitude.

"You^"

"you……"

For a moment, General Yamamoto was speechless.

A defeat is a defeat, and any explanation is feeble.

Forcibly explaining will only bring out your own incompetence!
