Emp protection should follow the Manhattan project?

Washington, dc (Reuters) - a power outage caused by an electromagnetic pulse attack in some countries could kill millions of americans, according to a book on the "Manhattan project" by the Washington free beacon.

The famous "Manhattan project" gathered the best nuclear scientists in the west at that time, mobilized more than 100,000 people to participate, successfully carried out the world's first nuclear explosion on July 16, 1945, and produced two practical atomic bombs as planned.

Now, the authors of a new book in America are calling for the government to use the Manhattan project's model to quickly target electromagnetic pulse attacks to strengthen power systems.

A recent article on the website of the Washington free beacon, which describes the "Manhattan project" as an electromagnetic pulse, claims that a blackout caused by an electromagnetic pulse attack by some countries will kill millions of americans.

"From the perspective of military confrontation, the emp is considered to be the 'second atomic bomb', so its power cannot be underestimated, and it has already demonstrated its great power in the war," yi fang, a researcher at fuyang zhikuo, told science and technology daily. From the point of view of the article, however, such talk is little more than a promotion of the so-called 'threat theory' and a demand for money from important members of congress. Of course, it also has strategic deterrent effect. Generally speaking, highly concentrated development of defensive technologies should be carried out when offensive technologies are basically mature, which is an advanced stage of technological development. Only by understanding the mechanism and harm of offense can we make targeted defensive measures. It also shows that the United States has made significant progress with emp weapons."
