Zhu Zhongliang also nodded slightly, satisfied with the judgment of his son and grandson.
The serious discussion on the seriousness of fission weapons among the three generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty has come to an end here.
For more detailed questions, we have to wait for more detailed information to come back before going to Wuying Palace to discuss it.
Then Zhu Zhongliang began to ask other small questions with a little concern:
"What are you going to call this so-called New Army? You can't just use the nickname New Army, right?"
Zhu Jingyuan felt that his grandfather had some ideas about this name, so he smiled and asked back:
"I haven't thought about it yet. Grandpa, does he have any suggestions?"
Zhu Zhongliang said with a smile:
"How about we call it the Golden Army? It is an army that uses metal bombs. Gold also means immortal and precious, and it also has a homophonic meaning of the Forbidden Army."
Zhu Jingyuan listened to Zhu Zhongliang's explanation and subconsciously felt that it was not bad.
Just a little awkward.
Zhu Jianyan next to him said directly:
"Father, during the Song Dynasty, there was a great Jin Kingdom. The key point was that the country's name was Hou Jin.
"Our Ming Dynasty has a bad impression of the word 'Jinjun' in terms of historical evaluation."
Zhu Zhongliang thought about it and indeed said:
"That's called the Japanese Army? Aren't the next generation weapons based on the principle of the sun?"
Both Zhu Jianyan and Zhu Jingyuan did know that the next generation of fusion weapons would be nuclear fusion that has certain similarities with the sun.
But the name Japanese Army...Zhu Jingyuan couldn't accept it no matter what...
"The Japanese army sounds like the army of Japanese pirates..."
Zhu Zhongliang's impression of Japan was not as profound as Zhu Jingyuan's, and the Shizu's posthumous chapter would not explain the specific events of his previous life.
However, the above specifically gave instructions on how to deal with Japan.
According to records at that time, Emperor Shizu did not have any good impression of Japan.
Before Emperor Shizu, Japanese pirates did not have a good impression on the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Jingyuan said this, Zhu Zhongliang also reacted:
"Then let's just call them the Forbidden Army. It originally means the emperor's personal army, and it can also be extended to mean not to use it as much as possible."
Zhu Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this grandfather did not suggest calling him "Imperial Army".
The name "Imperial Army" itself is indeed fine. The army directly under the Ming Emperor can indeed be called the Imperial Army.
But historical memory makes it impossible for Zhu Jingyuan to use it.
Zhu Jingyuan's original intention was to call it the "Royal Strategic Force".
But this name feels too modern and doesn't quite fit in with the Ming Dynasty style of this world.
It seems okay to just call it "Heavenly Army". The imperial army would sometimes be called "Heavenly Army", but Zhu Jingyuan himself felt that it was too exaggerated.
But in Zhu Jingyuan's subconscious mind, the name Tianjun corresponds to the Space Force.
The aerospace industry has just begun, and the satellite launch project has not yet been announced, so I don’t want to use this name for the time being.
"Forbidden Army" seems to be the most suitable, in line with the characteristics of the times, not too exaggerated, and consistent with its positioning.
Of course, the most famous army with the word "Forbidden Army" is the Forbidden Army of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Although the Ming Dynasty did not have a good impression of the Song Dynasty, it at least believed that the Northern Song Dynasty was the orthodox dynasty of China.
Compared with the Imperial Guards of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty were not the same thing at all, so there was no need to worry about being compared.
In the end, neither Zhu Jingyuan nor Zhu Jianyan expressed any objection, so the name of the Forbidden Army was decided.
As for the specific organization of the Forbidden Army and the specific actual combat methods.
They have to wait until Zhu Zhaoxie leads the team back to the capital, and let the people from the Military Aircraft Department discuss and formulate a detailed plan.
Zhu Zhaoxie still has an experiment to do.
The three grandfathers and grandsons at the scene continued chatting like this, and Zhu Jianyan asked a new question:
"Jingyuan, now that the experiment has been successful, do you want to put them in the military parade for your coronation ceremony?
"For example, during a ship review, two missiles were detonated directly on the sea?"
Zhu Jingyuan really didn't think about it before. When he heard his father's suggestion, he was so frightened that he shook his head:
"It's impossible to fire one during a military parade...
“These early fission bombs had a very low nuclear fuel reaction rate and would have a large amount of residue.
"Our ship review will be held at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and we cannot detonate such an immature fission bomb here.
“My current plan is not to display the latest weapons at the military parade.
“Of course these fission bombs must remain secret for a while.
“So, even if I were to show it, I would only show the bomb itself and not introduce its functions.
“My idea is to wait until the miniaturization design is fully mature and then directly make it into battleship shells and small aerial bombs.
"When you go to the Great Qinhai or North Atlantic exercises, fire a few rounds in front of the troops of the European and Western countries."
Zhu Jianyan nodded after hearing this:
"That's right. We can't test explosions in our home waters now. It would be better to go directly to the West and detonate them.
"But if you don't plan to directly display the latest weapons, what are your thoughts?
"Are you trying to see if any of the European and American countries are stupid?
"I don't think you have a chance."
Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said:
"I do have this idea, and I also know that there is a high probability that they won't.
“But even if I do this, we won’t really lose anything anyway.
"It also prevents immature weapons from being exposed and causing problems."
After hearing this, Zhu Jianyan just smiled and shook his head:
"I remember that Tessie has not been in good shape in the past two years. If you don't show your most powerful weapon, they will be bolder when they do things.
"Even if they don't have the guts to be interested in Daming, the probability of them being interested in each other is higher.
"So you might actually catch something.
"They themselves have changed the existing situation, and it is more convenient for Da Mingcha to intervene directly."
The three emperors of the Ming Dynasty continued their semi-formal chat.
Experimental work on Tiannan Continent continues.
The officers and craftsmen headed by Zhu Zhaoxie will continue to collect various data and information.
They can't leave the bunker just yet.
The people of Ming Dynasty knew the dangers of nuclear radiation from the beginning.
It is impossible to directly arrange actual combat exercises in a nuclear explosion environment in the early stages, as the Americans did in history.
So much so that there are many videos of army charges with mushroom cloud backgrounds.
Zhu Jingyuan's home country in his previous life also knew it, so the nuclear explosion experiment at that time was a pure experiment.
However, separate exercises in simulated nuclear explosion environments were held separately.
When the Americans were making a documentary about nuclear explosions, they deliberately edited a certain country's chemical defense drill video with the nuclear explosion video.
The previous shot was of a nuclear explosion.
As soon as the camera turned, it turned into a scene of a group of people wearing gas masks and radiation protection suits charging on horseback.
When viewers see this video, they subconsciously think that this country's troops are conducting military exercises at the nuclear explosion site.
The two scenes are indeed real, but they are not together on the timeline, and they are not even in the same place.
The impact of this documentary is extremely bad and is a typical application of American cultural hegemony.
As a result, some time-travelers were later affected, and when carrying out nuclear explosions in the world after time-travel, they might conduct a drill at the same time.
In fact, nuclear explosion exercises in normal countries are only nuclear explosions in name, but in fact they are just corresponding training.
Just like a fire prevention drill, you don't actually set off a fire, you just make everyone think there is a fire.
Only honest and hypocritical Americans have conducted exercises in the context of real nuclear explosions...
They were taking advantage of the nuclear explosion experiment to conduct a drill at the same time.
I guess I thought I was going to do an experiment anyway.
Because their nuclear weapons appeared first, the understanding of radiation was not clear enough at that time.
At that time, they even made radiation toys for children that actually contained radiation.
They even once believed that radiation was good for health.
Ming people avoided these pitfalls.
The Ming Dynasty's protection and control of radioactive materials reached the level of mature countries in later generations from the beginning.
The legacy of early atomic bombs is severe.
Therefore, the temporary test site was placed three hundred kilometers away from the forward command base.
The observation station next to the test site was directly made into an anti-radiation shelter.
All personnel involved in experimental observation and recording must continue to live in the bunker for eight days before leaving.
However, the various information they obtained through various devices was enough for them to stay there to sort and process it for a long time.
At the same time, this test site, which was only used once, will be directly abandoned.
This area will be designated as a restricted area.
Anyway, the Tiannan Continent has a vast area and a relatively sparse population. There are no people in the inland desert.
There aren't even a few animals.
Ten days later, the experimenters brought a large amount of data to the command base.
First complete two rounds of chemical disinfection and then undergo a comprehensive physical examination.
They have done enough protection and know that the possibility of being affected in this situation is very low.
Ultimately, there were no possible radiation-related issues.
Then they continued to prepare for the second experiment-the aircraft airdrop experiment.
This time, another test site will be used, and facilities and observation equipment will also be deployed on the ground to directly withstand the impact of air-dropped nuclear explosions.
Because this weapon is so powerful, the most direct way to kill it is the shock wave of the explosion.
Therefore, by raising the height slightly, the actual killing effect will be stronger than placing it directly on the ground.
It is too wasteful to build a special iron tower. The key is that it can only be built for one or two hundred meters at most, and it will be blown up after one use.
Airdrop is much more convenient. You can control the explosion height through the airdrop height and fuze delay.
However, airdrop experiments have certain risks.
The first is the almost completely actual airdrop, how to ensure that the bomb can detonate normally at the accurate height.
Then there's the safety of the pilot himself.
We are not worried that the pilot will be directly bombed, but we are worried that the plane will be affected and lose control, indirectly injuring the pilot.
Ming Dynasty's latest Type 12 twin-engine medium-sized jet attack aircraft has a maximum level flight speed of one thousand kilometers per hour.
Just attach a parachute to the bomb and have a throwing height of two thousand meters.
After the bomb is dropped, it takes two to three minutes for it to detonate.
This is enough for the plane to fly dozens of kilometers away.
Calculated purely based on the energy directly generated by the explosion, even the Big Ivan with an equivalent of 50 million tons cannot kill people fifty kilometers away.
The problem lies in the impact of the shock waves and electromagnetic waves generated by the explosion on important equipment on the aircraft.
Will it cause aircraft engine shutdown and loss of control?
In the first experiment, it has been confirmed that nuclear explosions will affect the electromagnetic environment and electronic equipment.
In mild cases, abnormal signals may appear, in severe cases, temporary shutdowns may occur.
Therefore, the aircraft used for this test must first reduce the number of electronic devices.
Use mechanical structures wherever possible.
Ensure that all electronic equipment is shut down and the aircraft itself can still fly normally.
This problem is really not that big.
The aircraft at this time were basically still designed to be statically stable, that is, they could still continue to glide after the engine was shut down.
Moreover, they are all mechanical flight controls, that is, structures such as hydraulic and wire traction.
Even if the plane is grounded in mid-air, an experienced pilot can make an emergency landing.
At worst, you can even go skydiving.
Of course, the pilots participating in the experiment must be the best and most experienced.
They were two colonels who had been transferred from the Air Force a long time ago.
At nine o'clock in the morning, at the airport of the forward command center, the specially modified Type 12 attack aircraft was completed.
With the cooperation and supervision of the airport ground staff, the military engineers of Habayashi Saei carefully installed the prepared air-dropped bombs and supporting equipment on the heavy-duty pylon in the center of the belly of the aircraft.
When everything was ready, Zhu Zhaoxie once again asked the emperor of Yingtian Mansion for instructions on behalf of the experimental unit.
The airdrop experiment is closer to actual combat, so the airdrop vehicle must report and ask for instructions before dispatching.
There is no need to ask for instructions when airdropping, as it may be too late by then.
After Zhu Jingyuan's morning visit, he still came to his grandfather's palace and waited. After receiving the message, he could reply directly and start.
After receiving the reply, the Experiment Command Center will pass it on according to strict procedures.
Under the command of the airport ground staff, the pilot controlled the aircraft to accelerate and glide and then slowly took off, flying to the No. 2 test site 300 kilometers away in the north.
Half an hour later, the experimental plane arrived at its destination.
The pilot confirmed the flight altitude and ground conditions, turned the aircraft around to maintain altitude, and confirmed with the frontline command center.
The Habayashi Saeei commander replied with a confirmation order, and the weapons operator on the aircraft pressed the bomb release button.
The large bomb under the belly of the aircraft detached from its pylon, and the parachute opened quickly as it fell.
The pilot immediately pulled the control column and turned the engine on to maximum afterburner.
The flight speed quickly increased to one thousand kilometers per hour, and it took two minutes to reach more than thirty kilometers away.
Only then did the two pilots look back.
The second experimental atomic bomb exploded at a height of 600 meters above the ground.
A blazing ball of light appeared in the sky, and the dazzling light had already overshadowed the sun.
Electromagnetic waves invisible to the naked eye and shock waves visible to the naked eye penetrated the entire test site.
The ground at the test site below the plane seemed to have been violently hammered, and there was a tremor that was both real and imaginary.
The equipment below the explosion point was crushed to pieces on the spot, and a sea of fire spread around it.
A shrill noise rang out from the aircraft's communication equipment.
The plane itself seemed to have encountered a burst of turbulence, and seemed to have turned into a paper airplane in the strong wind, rising and falling over the desert.
The two pilots hung their headphones around their necks and worked hard to control the height and attitude of the plane.
After the sudden wave of wind passed, the aircraft's condition stabilized again, and the pilot looked back at the scene of the explosion again.
Another huge mushroom cloud appeared between heaven and earth.
The pilots participating in the experiment were not only top students, but also mid-level officers. Now they couldn't help but use two swear words:
"This tea egg is so damn exciting!"
"In the past, even the planes in our brigade couldn't blast such a big bomb!"
