When it comes to all kinds of missile bombs, I believe you can come up with a series of missile names, but if you ask you what is the most lethal and destructive in the world, I believe everyone's first reaction is the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb.
However, in fact, there is a saying circulating in the military circles, this statement is that in addition to the well-known atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, there is also a kind of nuclear ** that makes people even more frightened, only one can destroy the whole world, and its power is even so powerful that many countries are too worried to dare to build.
It's a cobalt bomb.
As we all know, the lethality of nuclear ** is huge, and no country will easily use it on the battlefield, after all, nuclear ** transit, leaving no grass, will fall into dead silence, and after use, it will leave nuclear radiation that is difficult to disappear.
So far, only the United States has really used nuclear ** on the battlefield, and the country that was bombed was Japan, and it was bombed twice.
The first time was on August 6, 1945, in the summer of 1945, in the war, Japan's defeat was decided, but it still firmly believed that it had a chance to turn the tables, and frantically launched resistance, which threatened the lives of many American officers.
So on August 6, the United States dropped an atomic bomb codenamed "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan, aimed at the center of a bridge in Hiroshima, and in this way, the automatic bomb delivery device was activated, and a minute later, the atomic bomb fell into the air through the open hatch.
When the "Little Boy" atomic bomb landed on its destination, a large area of dazzling and intense white flashes immediately emitted in the sky, and a deafening loud ** sound was immediately emitted over the center of Hiroshima, red and yellow, and only in an instant, the city suddenly rolled up a huge mushroom-shaped smoke cloud, and then hundreds of pillars of fire were erected, and Hiroshima City immediately became a sea of scorching fire.
And this time the bombing of the "little boy" led to the Japanese city of Hiroshima 24Nearly 200,000 of the 50,000 people were killed or wounded, and 200,000 were killed.
Not long after, on August 9, the United States dropped an atomic bomb codenamed "Fat Man" on Nagasaki, Japan, and the bombing caused more than 100,000 people out of a population of 230,000 in Nagasaki City to disappear that day, and 60% of the buildings in the local city were damaged and damaged.
The United States used atomic bombs to bomb Japan twice, leaving Japan devastated for a long time afterward, with thousands of people dying due to radiation and post-disaster illness.
However, the cobalt bomb to be mentioned next is what people call a more terrifying existence than "little boys" and "fat men", and once the cobalt bomb is put into use, it can end all life on earth.
So what is a cobalt bomb?
It needs to be made clear that the cobalt bomb is actually only a nuclear ** that exists in people's imagination, and no country has created a cobalt bomb at present, and there may be countries that are secretly developing it, but in terms of official data, no country has a cobalt bomb.
The person who first came up with the concept of a cobalt bomb was physicist Leo Szilard.
Generally speaking, atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs pay more attention to directly hitting the target, and then generating energy killing methods such as shock waves and thermal radiation generated by **, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the enemy's vital force.
In other words, in the case of atomic and hydrogen bombs, the radiation produced is more like a by-product, and the cobalt bomb is very different.
For cobalt bombs, the radioactive dust and gamma rays produced by ** are its most important killing methods, and the half-life of cobalt-60 (co-60) determines that the gamma rays released by cobalt bombs have a much longer retention time than ordinary nuclear **.
Compared with conventional nuclear bombs such as atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, cobalt bombs have more killing methods, greater power, and a larger range of impact and a longer duration.
Physicist Leo Szilard mentioned that the basic principle of the cobalt bomb is to combine the nuclear ** with the metal cobalt, and when the nuclear *** is produced, a large amount of radioactive cobalt-60 will be produced, and the radiation ability of cobalt-60 is extremely strong and has a higher penetrating ability.
As a result, some people say that if this kind of cobalt bomb is developed, only one is needed, and the world will face a devastating crisis.
But is that really the case?
It can not only destroy facilities but also kill humans, which also gives cobalt bombs an advantage that other nuclear ** does not have. But the statement that a cobalt bomb will destroy the earth should be more of a boast of the power of the cobalt bomb, and it is not true.
Ever since Leo Szilard proposed the concept of the cobalt bomb in 1950, many people have placed high expectations on the cobalt bomb and exaggerated its strength, of course, because Leo Szilard was one of the first physicists to promote the development of the atomic bomb, and his words will inevitably attract attention.
Leo Szilard once said that "a cobalt bomb can destroy the entire human race".
It is not that people mistakenly thought that the destruction of the earth was later, but the reason why it became more and more outrageous later was because of people's expectations of the power of the cobalt bomb, and on the other hand, there were more or less errors in the transmission from person to person.
The reason why Leo Silard emphasized the power of the cobalt bomb is to remind people that the power of nuclear ** is very powerful, almost to the point where it can threaten the process of human civilization, if the use of nuclear ** continues, it will cause irreparable consequences to the world, and the world is gone, so what kind of existence does this country that uses nuclear ** talk about?
According to the current information that can be known on the Internet, once the cobalt bomb is successfully developed, the world will become very terrifying, the power of the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb is already very huge, but although the power of the cobalt bomb is not as good as people say, it can destroy the world, but it is also hundreds of times stronger than the atomic bomb hydrogen bomb.
The radioactivity of the cobalt bomb is stronger than that of the atomic bomb hydrogen bomb, that is to say, when this kind of nuclear bomb is generated, the nuclear radiation produced will cause greater damage to the surrounding environment, and can even affect the survival of a place for a long time, leaving an indelible disaster for future generations.
Japan, which was bombed twice by the United States that year, was destroyed by a powerful shock wave almost in an instant, and although the people who were far away from the center of the country did not die, they were blinded by nuclear radiation and heat radiation, and some people even suffered various changes in their bodies after being affected by nuclear radiation, strange shapes or disabilities, the nuclear radiation of the atomic bomb has been so terrible, not to mention the cobalt bomb whose radiation capacity is much stronger than the atomic bomb, its nuclear radiation may radiate a large area.
Another example is the Fukushima nuclear leakage, because Japan has not been able to solve the Fukushima nuclear leakage for a long time, and over time, people have found various animals mutated due to nuclear radiation near Fukushima, such as radioactive wild boars.
These wild boars with radioactivity in their bodies are completely a wild boar with its own toxicity, if this species is everywhere.
migration, then many areas may be contaminated, and the nuclear radiation of cobalt bombs is stronger, if developed, you can imagine what kind of impact it will cause.
The US Air Force once set up a special project to prepare for the research and manufacture of cobalt bombs, but it was also forced to run aground and stop, on the one hand, because of technical reasons, and on the other hand, because the power of cobalt bombs is really huge, and if the United States really tries to make cobalt bombs, then it will be condemned by the world, and the use of atomic bombs by the United States against Japan has already made other countries in the world dissatisfied.
It can be said that at present, mankind's research on cobalt bombs is still in a theoretical stage, and it has not really entered the manufacturing stage, which can be seen from the fact that the United States terminated the project halfway.
The reason why no country has announced that it wants to make cobalt bombs is actually very simple.
First of all, although the technical requirements for the manufacture of cobalt bombs are relatively high, they can be overcome, but the nuclear weapons that we have now are enough for countries to maintain their own security and deter other countries, if you still spend a lot of money and manpower to research cobalt bombs that do not know what the future holds, it is obviously not a cost-effective thing.
And if you take 10,000 steps back, there is really a country that has created a cobalt bomb, and once it is put into use, then the corresponding place will naturally be lifeless for decades or even a hundred years, and a piece of abandoned land will be useless.
Secondly, and the most important reason, nuclear ** has always only played a deterrent role, facilitating the use of nuclear ** for self-protection, rather than using it to provoke war and killing.
At present, the world is strictly reducing and controlling the number of nuclear weapons, and if any country chooses to continue to research stronger and more radiating nuclear weapons, there is no doubt that it will be oppressed by the international community and besieged by the whole world, and if any country has a cobalt bomb, it may cause a new round of arms race.
Regardless of the power of the cobalt bomb, it belongs to a kind of nuclear **, since it belongs to the nuclear ** will cause irreparable damage to mankind, in this era when everyone pursues peace, the nuclear ** should not be regarded as a glorious and worthwhile thing, the essence of the existence of nuclear ** is to deter other countries not to act ill with will.
Behind the war is the displacement of countless families, **equipment is only a ** in the end, the real decisive role is still human beings themselves, limiting the development of nuclear ** is responsible for our own lives, but also the maintenance of the situation of peaceful development, what do you think about this?Feel free to do it below**.
