Red Soviet Union

Chapter 828: Nuclear Winter

Since the beginning of the Cold War and the establishment of the Berlin Wall, the University of Berlin has never seen so many Western scholars, and has never held such an international seminar.

As the host of the meeting, Flix stood on the rostrum and addressed all the participants: Experts, scholars, friends, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the University of Berlin and participate in this relevant conference. Discussion on the post-nuclear war environment, first, we invited Paul and John to introduce their theories to all of us again.

Among the representatives attending the meeting were not only scientists on environmental issues, but also diplomatic envoys and officials from various countries, educators, business leaders, foreign policy makers and military figures. For example, even NATO sent a military attache to attend the meeting. Of course, the US military was absent.

In fact, the research results of Paul and John have been published in the Environment magazine published in Sweden, but many people present, except those in the scientific community, are afraid that this purely academic question is not interested.

Therefore, when Paul and John expounded their research results, many people present fell into contemplation, and this kind of contemplation was tinged with fear.

In particular, an American scientist present was very clear.

Cornell University astronomer Carl Sagan! He has been engaged in space weather research for a long time. As early as 1971, after the US Mariner 9 space probe entered the orbit of Mars, it sent back photos of Mars covered by dust from its storms, which attracted his attention and conducted an investigation on this phenomenon. Follow-up monitoring for 3 consecutive months.

Carr was surprised to find that the dust rising into the upper atmosphere of Mars can absorb a lot of sunlight and heat the atmosphere of this layer, while the surface of Mars becomes dark and cold.

At that time, Karl thought deeply about this, and now, when John and John's report came out, Karl suddenly realized, and couldn't help but blurted out: Nuclear winter, this means the arrival of nuclear winter!

Winter is cold, and the dust and smoke clouds produced by nuclear explosions will prevent sunlight from reaching, which means the arrival of nuclear winter!

The global temperature is quite sensitive, even if the world's average temperature drops by one degree, it will have disastrous consequences!

Nuclear winter! This term came out of Karl's mouth, and it was Karl who studied this kind of problem in history, and formally proposed this theory in 1983. But now, Carl has not had time to study these! Because of the extremely sluggish economy in the United States, this kind of fringe science, scientific research that does not produce economic benefits, rarely receives research funding. The US finances are already very poor. Only research similar to shale oil exploitation will be paid for strength.

Therefore, Karl can only teach and educate people honestly in the university. Even the environmental magazine, the school did not subscribe to him. He has only heard of this theory now, but he reacted immediately!

Mr. Karl, you are right. After careful research, we finally got the result of nuclear winter! Flix was quite curious. After all, this theory was actually proposed by General Andre and handed over to The research topic of the University of Berlin, General Andre said at that time, this set of theories is called the nuclear winter theory!

Felix has great admiration for General Andre. A few years ago, when he took his students to the Far East for an internship, he met General Andre by chance in the western restaurant. Unfortunately, at that time, Felix’s student Among them, there is actually a spy from the West who almost caused harm to General Andrei, and General Andrei has grown from an ordinary pilot to a pivotal figure in the Soviet Union in the past few years.

People's knowledge is very broad.

However, Flix did not expect that this American astronomer could actually come up with this term!

Concealing his surprise, Flix continued: We at the University of Berlin used computers to simulate the entire process. Now, please let us show it to everyone.

Computer simulation! Hearing Flix's words, countless experts and scholars showed envious expressions on their faces.

Computer simulation! Of course you need a supercomputer! You must know that in this era, computers are definitely not common to thousands of households like later generations. Even in universities, computer courses are considered new. And if you want to use computer simulation, microcomputers are not enough. Generally speaking, only supercomputers can perform simulations.

For example, if you want to make a nuclear bomb, you need to use a supercomputer to theoretically simulate a nuclear explosion, which can greatly speed up the research process and prevent detours.

It can be said that the supercomputer is also a strategic weapon, a weapon at the national level. I really did not expect that the University of Berlin could apply for the permission to use the supercomputer!

The lights in the meeting room dimmed, and on the ceiling of the meeting room, a high-power crt projector began to brighten gradually, projecting the picture on the screen. At the same time, he was wearing a commentary. Fortunately, the commentary used an international standard English.

e=mc2 (2 is the square, marked in the upper right corner), Einstein’s mass-energy conversion equation means that the interior of the atom contains huge energy, when the energy is released, it is equivalent to opening Pandora's box! This formula first appears on the screen, and then Einstein's head. It can be said that Einstein single-handedly promoted the emergence of nuclear bombs. At the same time, in his later years, Einstein was blaming himself for the emergence of nuclear bombs.

Now, there are tens of thousands of nuclear weapons in the world, and at the same time, we are all living in the shadow of nuclear weapons. Nuclear deterrence is not just deterrence. Under special circumstances, it may be transformed into a real nuclear war , Therefore, what we use computer simulation this time is to assume the result of the explosion of a nuclear weapon with an equivalent of 5 billion tons of tnt. Of course, this is only a fraction of the global arsenal. If we calculate according to the equivalent of 500,000 tons, this is exactly 10,000 pieces.

Following the voice of the narrator, a three-dimensional graphic of the earth appeared on the screen, and the locations with flashing lights represented the distribution of nuclear bombs. It can be seen that almost all of them are concentrated in the northern hemisphere, and Europe is the hardest hit area!

Then, on the screen, beautiful mushroom clouds bloomed one after another. However, in the eyes of those present, these mushroom clouds were all devil-like existences! They will eat up the whole earth!
