August 8.Berlin.

With both Khrushchev and Kennedy threatening war, tensions between East and West Berlin were at stake.

At the junction of east and west, Soviet tank troops stationed in Berlin and American tank troops stared at both sides of the road, with T-55A on one side and Patton type on the other.In NATO's "Patton" style formation, there are also several British tanks mixed in.

The muzzles of all tanks are aimed at the opposing army, more than half of the tanks are aimed at the opposite tank, and the main guns of the remaining tanks are aimed at infantry, communication stations, trucks, secret service intelligence stations and other places.

After the confrontation on the surface, the East German government is already taking action.

Berlin Wall - The large barrier separating East and West Berlin.

Unlike the Berlin crisis in 1948, the Berlin Wall did not prevent West Berlin from obtaining living supplies from the outside world, but only restricted personnel exchanges between East and West Berlin.

In fact, a month ago, Ulbricht, the general secretary of East Germany, said at a press conference: "No one wants to build a wall."

After all, the Berlin Wall violated the four-nation agreement on guaranteeing the freedom of movement in Berlin after the end of World War II, so East Germany could only do it quietly. To build the Berlin Wall, it had to order a large amount of barbed wire. East Germany borrowed 5 materials The company makes vests, and each company orders a little barbed wire, which can pull out a isolation belt more than 100 kilometers long.

In the middle of the night of August 8, Ulbricht immediately signed an order to "build the Berlin Wall" after the high-level meeting of the German Socialist Unity Party.

At midnight on this day, the East German police and border guards who came to support from Berlin and around Berlin came out in full force. They first blocked the border line between East and West Berlin, and then various construction machinery roared in, driving pilings, pulling down barbed wire, and placing car-proof barriers. Concrete piers.

On the morning of August 8, as soon as the citizens of Berlin opened their eyes, a 13-kilometer barbed wire fence appeared in the urban area. Outside the urban area, there was a 43-kilometer-long barbed wire fence on the outer periphery of the west side of Berlin.

"In order to guard against potential threats of aggression from the West and prevent Western spies from traveling to Eastern Europe, we built the 'Anti-Fascist Defense Wall'. Berlin citizens can still move between East and West Germany after applying for a permit..."

what happened?Berlin split?

The U.S. troops stationed in West Berlin stared blankly at the barbed wire fence, as well as the East German border police and working-class combat teams patrolling below the barbed wire.The commander thought for a while, and asked the troops to drive out all the tanks and patrol beside the barbed wire, because they were afraid that the Soviet Union would forcefully send troops to attack the British and American occupied areas.

Forty hours later, Britain and the United States submitted a letter of protest to the Soviet commander in Berlin.

But Kennedy wasn't particularly offended.Of course, the Soviet Union was still condemned externally, but in the White House, Kennedy said something else:

"Not a great solution, but a wall is much better than war."

Although Khrushchev did not want to build the Berlin Wall, but East Germany built it, it can only be understood as a measure taken by the socialist camp.

If things continue like this, Khrushchev's threat of war will subside after a while.

6626 base.The fifth day of Tang Hua's inspection.

This is a veritable "Laser City", a small and comprehensive city, unlike Wuliangsuhai, which is a simple weapon testing base. The 6626 base not only has a laser weapon testing center, but also an assembly and production plant, a research and development center, including a very basic laser physics research laboratory.

It may be because the laser was originally a highly confidential research project between China and the Soviet Union, and laser weapons are the secret among the secrets. When the 6626 base was built, the Soviet Union simply sent scientists here. Except for 6626 within [-] kilometers, there is not even a decent one. There are no villages and towns in the country, which are safe and confidential.

The resident population of the base is in the early 400s, including 900 guards (a motorized battalion), and more than 5 engineers/operations/maintenance and other technical arms.The soldiers in the base conformed to the gender allocation practices of the Soviet Army in the 60s and [-]s. There were quite a few female soldiers, with more than three digits by visual inspection, and these female soldiers were very active.

Cough... It seems that I said something that shouldn't be said.

But this is the 6626 base, a place that does not exist on the map, no matter what Tang Hua does here, it will not be reported.

The other hundreds of people in the base are all scientists: academicians, researchers, senior engineers, and various process engineers. Among the base personnel who wear regular uniforms, there are nearly a hundred doctors.

……

"Is the power of Kosmos-84's nuclear battery so small? It's less than 100 watts?"

Tang Hua looked at a thick device data manual. The subsystems and parts of the ЛА-3 large-scale space laser weapon platform are generally taken from this manual. When he saw the column of nuclear batteries, Tang Hua couldn't help asking Proho Rove.

"Yes, a prototype has been made in the Urals, with an electric power of 56 to 80 watts." Prokhorov said, "After all, the entire Kosmos-84 satellite weighs only 200 kilograms."

Tang Hua: "It seems that there is only the thermionic reactor waiting for the RORSAT project, and judging from the situation, the thermionic reactor can only be used as an auxiliary energy source."

唐华把ЛА-3的概念模型鼓捣出来了。卫星的主体是一根长37米、直径4米的圆柱体，这尺寸已经赶上长征-3运载火箭了。重量如果用纯太阳能+电池+电容储能是80吨，如果要核电池供电，大概要奔着100吨去。

After the satellite is in orbit, two large solar panels are opened. The entire satellite is in the shape of a big "T". The vertical column is a large cylinder with a laser at the tip. There are batteries, energy storage devices, and sighting and communication control devices in the middle. The control system is connected to Four groups of more than a dozen small attitude control rockets.

ЛА-3 is usually like a cannon barrel, always aiming at the earth below. When a nuclear war broke out between the United States and the Soviet Union, it just passed the satellite between the United States and the Soviet Union and entered the launch state. Turning the barrel of the satellite slightly, roughly Aim at the interception area, and then fine-tune the laser on the head of the satellite according to the speed and direction of the missile, so that it can basically stare at the ballistic missile.

Nuclear batteries are not a sci-fi thing now. The United States just sent a shot into the sky last month, and the Soviet Union also made a prototype.

The simplest nuclear battery is a decay battery. It is not a nuclear reactor, but a large number of strong decay elements are placed in the battery core, such as polonium 210 and plutonium 238. A circle of solar panels.

Decay battery The power of the battery is too small. Later, an upgraded version of thermionic reactor was developed. The battery core was replaced with uranium 235, which can cause a chain reaction. The heat generated burned the potassium and sodium around the uranium rod until it glowed red, and then surrounded A circle of solar panels...

"If the thermionic reactor power of the RORSAT project is still too small, we can scale it up. If it is still too small, then put two reactors on ЛА-3. Actually, I have a bigger plan—"

Prokhorov took out another sketch, "According to the current development of ballistic missile technology and the increase in the number of missiles, when the laser anti-missile system is deployed, it will face an extremely large number of ballistic missile groups. A single ЛА-3 The maximum number of interceptors is limited, and in the same orbit, the number of spacecraft operating at the same time is also limited. We need to integrate multiple laser interceptors in one spacecraft."

Tang Hua stared dumbfounded at the sketch that Prokhorov took out.Davarich, have you designed the Star Destroyer?

The five large circles on the tail of this "Star Destroyer" are not engine nozzles, but five sets of laser interceptors.The Star Destroyer is equipped with two reactors.Due to the sheer complexity of the systems, the Star Destroyer was manned.

"Davarish, have you thought about the weight of such a J... space-based combat base?"

Prokhorov: "About 100 tons, but a single component does not exceed 5 tons. Its five sets of laser interception systems have sufficient power supply, and the interception frequency is more than twice that of ЛА-3. As long as it stays in the right place, a combat The base can destroy 100 ballistic missiles in one cycle of operations."

……

Old Pu, the things you designed are so awesome, does Korolev know?

Korolev certainly didn't know. If he knew, he would fly over from Moscow and strangle Prokhorov to death. A rocket the size of Saturn-5 would need to fire 8 rockets in a row to launch this space battleship into the sky.

In fact, even the 80-100-ton ЛА-3 painted by Tang Hua needs a super-heavy launch vehicle to hit the sky.

This is actually the Skif-DM laser anti-missile satellite designed by the Soviet Union in the 80s, and it is scheduled to be launched with the Energy rocket.But in 1987, the reduced version of Skif-DM, the 20-ton verification star, failed to launch. When the design bureau adjusted the satellite and rocket technology status to prepare for the second launch, the Soviet Union disintegrated.

Regarding the prospects of the space-based interception project, Tang Hua felt that before the signing of the "Treaty on the Demilitarization of Outer Space" in 1967, if he could launch a 20-ton verification satellite into the sky and try to use lasers to burn missiles in space, it would be perfect. It's done - something that the original historical plane has never done.

The 80 to 100 ton ЛА-3 may end up being a strategic deception weapon.If the IQ of Soviet leaders at that time (it would be the 70s sooner) was online, maybe it could be reversed, and the Soviet Union used this concept to fool the United States...

Returning to Moscow from the 6626 base, Deng Jiaxian and Peng Hengwu just arrived from Beijing and joined together.

When Bervushin was in Beijing, the two sides agreed to exchange visits to nuclear weapon design units. Bervushin and Kurchatov first visited the Institute of Atomic Energy Sciences in Fangshan.Now Chinese experts return visits.

The main designer of Soviet nuclear weapons was the 504th Scientific Research Institute, which was... the USSR under the Ministry of Agricultural Machine Building.

The 326th Central Design Bureau, which participated in the design of some subsystems, is under the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.There are also several research institutes of the Ministry of Medium-sized Machine Building, which are also auxiliary design units of Soviet nuclear weapons.

"Comrades from the Soviet Union said that we still need to wait two days to visit the 504 Research Institute," Tang Hua said. "Next month, the Soviet Union will resume nuclear testing. Their research institute is indeed quite busy."

In addition to being busy with work, the 504 Institute is probably trying to tidy up the offices and put away some things that even Chinese comrades cannot see.

"Minister Tang, visit Lenin's tomb again."
