My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1150 - 1067: Counterfeit! Walking Dead! _2
Many hands make light work, well-equipped, the strongest company had already been temporarily contracted by Hu Anbiao for a high price.
However...
Replicating a nuclear warhead is not that easy.
Shape, size, weight, actually, all of these are manageable.
Bent steel plates, cutting, welding, polishing, painting...the exterior can be made to look identical.
As for the weight, that’s even simpler. If the real warhead weighs three hundred kilograms, just stuff things like steel ingots inside the fake one.
The real challenge is the extremely special password device on the actual nuclear warhead.
This device is embedded in the missile body, and after lifting the pressure-resistant casing, there is a control panel similar to an old-fashioned calculator with buttons labeled in English for different functions.
And this control panel uses a classic PLC control circuit.
After all, the simpler it is, the more stable it is, and it can withstand long-term storage and high mobility overload.
Furthermore, the panel controls the self-locking mechanism and the detonator through the circuit. If three sets of passwords are entered correctly, it can be unlocked and then set the detonation time.
If entered incorrectly, it will cause the password device to lock itself, preventing the nuclear warhead from detonating normally.
In short.
To make a counterfeit nuclear warhead, explosive charges and detonators are not necessary, but the password device must be convincingly real, otherwise, it’s too easy to give away.
This is really not easy to imitate.
Making a small circuit board that simulates password entry verification and detonation timing functions is no problem.
The most troublesome part is the appearance and buttons of the control panel.
There are no plastic factories here that could work overnight to design, mold, and paint-process buttons with identically shaped labels.
What Hu Anbiao and his team thought of was to find ready-made plastic in the small commodities market.
Cutting and processing the plastic to approximately the right size will do.
Moreover, the car factories, in order to repaint the cars, have specialized color-matching materials that can be tried with spray painting.
Of course.
The idea is simple, but the process is frustrating.
A nation-defining artifact like a nuclear warhead, how could it possibly be easy to imitate?
Even if it’s just the shape, appearance, and partial functionality, to create a convincing fake is still not easy.
...
When Wu Jie arrived at the auto repair shop, everyone was working energetically.
Replicating a nuclear warhead, to create chaos with a fake, this matter is naturally very serious, so Qian Le, leading his team, put the auto repair shop under strict guard.
To the people at the auto repair shop, everyone, of course, didn’t mention that this was a counterfeit warhead.
The outer shell was not difficult to replicate, Wu Jie closely inspected it, and it was hard to distinguish the real from the fake.
After all, the real nuclear warhead is simply a metal conical body.
The worst part is still that password device. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The control panel made by crude methods looks very counterfeit and substandard.
Especially the fonts on the buttons, the difference between laser printing and manual spray painting is huge.
It’s just like on a piece of paper, the difference between printed fonts and those handwritten by a person is very evident.
Trying to deceive people is really tough.
However...
In every trade, a master appears.
Inside the bustling city, there are many thriving mobile phone wholesalers on normal days.
They buy outdated, low-cost, and bulk second-hand mobiles, computers, etc., refurbish and upgrade them here and then sell them.
So, they not only gather many electronic components but also have quite a few control panels and button keys from various electronic devices.
Since counterfeit is tough to make, then go scavenge.
Gathering some that look similar, piecing them together, is still better than those plastic-cut, manually spray-painted substandard buttons.
...
Time quietly passed.
When the dawn’s first light illuminated the earth,
the counterfeit nuclear warheads were completed.
Comparing them against the high-definition photos and videos of real warheads, they were sorted and the three most realistic ones were selected.
As for the remaining ones, they were naturally crushed on-site and destroyed.
The sun rose high.
At Nabiya City Airport, under the guise of a freight company name, a newly dispatched Boeing 747-8F cargo plane, amid its loud roaring noise, smoothly landed.
The aircraft, slim and massive, with a maximum payload capacity of 154 tons, is known as the Queen of the Skies.
Such a terrifying payload capacity made it too easy to load standard air freight containers.
It had traveled a long distance from Tianyuan International Airport; officially, it was an air cargo flight for Jiazhou division of Tang’s Communications in Liuli Continent, transporting a vast amount of communications base station equipment.
But the real purpose was actually to evacuate personnel and equipment since all three stolen nuclear warheads from the Star Federation had been found, and it was not feasible for the personnel and equipment to stay in Nabiya indefinitely.
However...
This powerful aircraft had come at just the right time.
It was perfect for transporting the ’cured’ Abulaxi and his personal doctor and bodyguards back to Baldet.
Around nine in the morning.
This large cargo plane from afar kept loading tons of fuel while unloading air freight containers one by one.
All were equipment for hardware upgrades of communication base stations and network switching centers.
After unloading, it immediately started loading people and cargo into trucks.
During this time.
The personal doctor remained by Abulaxi’s side.
The ’cured’ Abulaxi looked somewhat different than usual.
He seemed thinner, lacked energy, and appeared somewhat listless.
Probably due to undergoing prolonged acupuncture and electrotherapy, his body was a bit weak, but fortunately, his strange headache had been completely cured.
Abulaxi, unlike his arrival for treatment where he held his head and howled, quietly sat down and rested after boarding the plane.
The personal doctor and bodyguards had no suspicions and did not disturb him.
Of course.
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao, along with over thirty people, going to Baldet...
Such a send-off seemed overly grand!
But if the leader had no objections, who were they to have any?
At ten in the morning, the large cargo plane took off.
Less than four hundred kilometers to Baldet, it arrived in half an hour.
Unlike yesterday when Wu Jie arrived at the airport and was greeted by a lineup and salutary gunfire, today there was none.
Abulaxi’s sudden strange illness was secretly treated in Xikelse, and even his family was unaware.
Therefore, only the head of the bodyguards came with a few armored vehicles to pick him up.
Abulaxi, looking somewhat listless, ordered to go to his heavily guarded gold vault with Wu Jie and the others.
In one of the pickup trucks in the convoy, there were three counterfeit nuclear warheads made overnight.
Exchanging the counterfeit warheads for the gold in the vault.
If Abulaxi was lucid, he definitely would not agree, and he would surely inspect the merchandise if there were to be an exchange.
But like a walking corpse, controlled by a biobot, Abulaxi was just a puppet obeying orders.
After the exchange, the three warheads were locked in the vault, guarded by the head of the bodyguards, with no one allowed inside.
Meanwhile, Abulaxi personally led a convoy of trucks to transport over a hundred tons of gold to the airport.
After bidding farewell to Wu Jie and the others, he went home for a feast and then rested in bed.
In the afternoon, the large cargo plane, fully fueled and loaded, left Nabiya.
Abulaxi in his sleep did not know that the news of his acquiring nuclear warheads had been leaked...
