We have already lost the World War. But maybe there is still a chance?
Russia, of course, is completely unprepared for a world war, moreover, almost nothing is being done for this preparation. This is best considered with one concrete example, which, in my opinion, is one of the most expressive.
What is readiness for war?
This is not talk about the latest developments and billions of the military budget, not universal NVP or patriotic education. This is primarily the readiness of production, the industrial base that produces weapons, ammunition and a long list of all military products or used in war. Production is understood not only as specialized military factories, but also in general any plant or factory that can be converted to military output, as well as industries supplying them with raw materials, fuel and energy. This production at the time the war began should be available and work.
In World War II, industry had weeks and months before enemy planes reached them, reach Tanks and the infantry will stomp on. During this time it was possible to switch to the production of military products, or to evacuate to a quieter place in advance, and also to take various necessary measures. Now the situation is completely different. Missiles, ballistic and cruise missiles, allow to strike the military-industrial complex to the full strategic depth already in the first hours and days of the war. It is most expedient not to waste rather expensive missiles on a wide range of targets, but to concentrate the strike on the fuel and energy complex: power plants, oil refineries and petrochemical plants, gas and oil fields, nodal objects of gas and oil pipelines, large nodal substations of the energy system. Without electricity, gas and oil, all these new tanks and planes, which are now so much talked about, all military factories turn into almost useless junk. Without fuel and energy, the army cannot fight, and industry cannot work.
I already once wrote that the Americans will have enough fifty cruise missiles in order to crush the gas industry in Russia and achieve economic collapse. If we add more 100-150 missiles to destroy large refineries, disable nuclear power plants and nodes of the power system, then, in general, about 200 missiles will be enough to bring down the entire industry. If part of the cruise missiles is intercepted and shot down, then the attack can be repeated with ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.
Thus, readiness for war is now not only the presence of production, but also its dispersal and protection from nuclear missile attacks. First of all, the dispersion and security of electricity and fuel production. It is best to have, for example, underground power plants, refineries and petrochemical complexes, underground military plants and so on. Underground objects can also be hit, but it is already much more difficult and with a high consumption of missiles, that is, they will have to tinker with. If underground facilities are also dispersed over vast spaces and have the opportunity to use all kinds of local raw materials, then crushing production is not so easy. You can spend the entire missile arsenal and still many more production facilities will remain intact, whose capacities are enough to repel.
All this is great, but I have never heard that we are building underground power plants or refineries. Both old objects and new ones are all in the open. Hence the conclusion: unpreparedness for war.
Pyrolysis is a guarantee
The ECUOT pyrolysis plant can solve these fuel and energy problems in wartime. In the apparatus, any organic substance (household waste, manure, wood, rubber, as well as peat and coal with a high content of volatile substances) decomposes under heating without access of air to combustible gas, pyrolysis liquid, and coal dust. The plant is omnivorous, and various types of raw materials can be mixed in different proportions, getting a different composition of products.
Combustible gas is partially spent on the operation of the installation itself, and is also used to generate electricity at a gas piston or gas turbine installation; The pyrolysis liquid is processed into gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel, oils, with the associated extraction of toluene for explosives, and coal dust is used as fuel, for example, to generate electricity.
In addition to the energy cycle, a metallurgical cycle is also possible if the installation operates next to a small blast furnace or steelmaking furnace. Coal can be used in a blast furnace process to process iron ore and produce cast iron, and gas can be used in a steel-smelting furnace for melting scrap or iron, or a furnace for smelting non-ferrous metals. However, pyrolysis liquid also remains, although the composition of the pyrolysis feed can be mixed so that more gas is obtained.
Despite its compactness (all equipment occupies a volume approximately equal to the volume of an 40-foot container; it can easily be placed in a bunker or underground mine), it is very powerful and can process up to 15 tons of raw materials per day, for example, household waste. The output is about 30% or 4,5 tons of pyrolysis liquid (which gives about 800-900 kg of gasoline and the same amount of kerosene during processing, the rest is diesel fuel), about 40% gas, 6 tons or 9677 cubic meters. There is so much gas that it’s enough to provide fuel for seven gas-piston power plants with an output of 200 kW each, and get 33,6 thousand kWh per day. The remaining 30% or 4,5 tons are coal.
Since pyrolysis is a cycle, and the installation before unloading coal and loading a new batch of raw materials needs to be cooled (it is still very good as a heating unit), it is more expedient to use them in pairs to achieve continuous operation and obtain pyrolysis products.
A month, one such installation produces a total of 135 tons of oil, about the same amount of coal and a little more than 1 million kWh of electricity.
A thousand installations will produce 135 thousand tons of oil raw materials per month, as much coal and 1 billion kWh of electricity. A year, a thousand units will supply about 1,6 million tons of oil, which is suitable for processing and for direct use. This covers about half the annual fuel requirement for an army of about a million people with the right equipment.
In general, 5 of thousands of such installations is a certain guarantee that we will not be defeated simply by a missile strike on fuel and energy facilities. Having them, you can fight and have a reserve for the military industry and restoration work.
We have already lost the war
Now bad news. We have only one ECUOT installation. One! And that experienced one, assembled from a variety of units and parts. This means that we lost the world war, long before the first shot.
Neither five thousand nor a thousand installations can be done at the click of a finger. It will take several years at the very Stakhanov pace to produce such a fleet of plants with all the necessary equipment, which also comes out quite a lot: power plants, an oil refinery, gas holders, tanks, conveyors and so on. Their mass production has not begun. To do this, about 100 million rubles are needed, but Lavrov could not be found. He generally has a strange situation: the flow of visitors, combined with the lack of funding, viscous paperwork and many obstacles. And this despite the many innovative programs with multi-billion dollar budgets.
Hence the conclusion: we do not have real preparation for war, we only have conversations and imitation. What is important for the war effort is not done. There is no real and resistant to missile attacks of the military economy - there is no military power, and there is only a cardboard decoration that will fall from a single blow with a boot.
All this is purely natural. The fear of a great war, which originated in Soviet times and has not yet been eradicated, inevitably gives rise to an ostrich position, hopes that war can be avoided by public relations and intimidating a probable opponent with exhibition samples of "weapons that have no analogues in the world", hope for nuclear "otvetku", or hoping that this time the broadest concessions will work. Under the slogan “there will be no war”, everything truly military-significant is stifled and crushed in the bud. What do you want? All these are consequences of the lack of a true political ideology, which was abandoned in the Soviet era for fear of war.
History on this, of course, does not end there. But the continuation will be very difficult and difficult, and in particular, such pyrolysis plants will have to be built manually, from the material that was found. But, until this happened, perhaps we still have a chance, albeit a small one, to prevent this?
