Chapter 680: The founder of nuclear peace (second update, please subscribe)
good night!

This is an ordinary greeting, but on this day it is given a different meaning.

After receiving direct instructions from Chang'an, the special fleet gathered in Truk sailed out of the Truk anchorage with an order.

At the same time, the Nanyang Maritime Affairs Department announced the exercise area and time.

For the world, November 11st was an extremely normal day. On the peninsula, except for the Americans who were beaten and were a little dizzy, there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.

Under the bright sunshine, the coconut palm leaves on Kaping Amarangi Atoll are blowing in the wind. This tropical island looks so beautiful.

Under the sun, an iron tower stands on the beach. On the sea within a radius of the iron tower, there are several ships moored. Most of them are rusty old ships - all of which Nanyang bought in the name of scrap iron. Among the ships that came back, there were even two old battleships from World War I.

Now, they are anchored in this sea area. They will use their last remaining heat - as target ships.

"The weather is really nice today!"

Below the tower, a Marine holding a carbine looked around with vigilance.

These bunkers were carefully constructed by military engineers over the past few months to test the power of explosions.

"Why is it a few minutes later than scheduled?"

"really?"

"Well, no problem!"

Following the order, the air in the central control room solidified. All the instruments of the automatic control system were started, the lights flashed, and a countdown signal was sent out.

Everyone has some doubts in their hearts.

"are you sure?"

"let's start!"

Although the official information has not yet been announced, Li Jie and his colleagues in the press, who were invited to cover the military exercise, still learned some information.

At this time, the technicians on the top of the tower were doing the final "dressing up" for "Miss Ping". More than an hour later, they carefully checked the data displayed by all the instruments on the tower.

After checking the time, Zou Tongjie, standing on the bridge, stared at the Kaping Amarangi Atoll with some uncertainty. At this time, people on the aircraft carrier's bridge looked nervous and excited. In the sky, a dozen white-painted aircraft were still circling there, four of which were unmanned aircraft that took off from Truk.

"10, 9, 8..."

In fact, there are no people on this small island with an area of ​​less than 1 square kilometer. Only some experimental animals such as orangutans are stored in a nearby bunker. These animals are still enjoying bananas in cages as in the past.

Lin Xueze said calmly.

The nervous countdown to zero disappeared in the moment of "0!"

On the deck of the "Katsuragi" aircraft carrier twenty nautical miles away from the island, thousands of naval officers and soldiers and journalists stood nervously watching the island in the distance. Looking at the scrap iron surrounding the island - in order to conduct this test, the military commissioned corresponding companies to purchase a total of 17 tons of old ships in countries such as South America and the United Kingdom, which are worth only US$170 million based on scrap iron. In comparison, the construction of the bunker on the island cost a full $300 million!
"It's an atomic bomb test!"

"Then...start evacuating!"

Then the technicians and dozens of Marine Corps officers and soldiers under the tower immediately ran towards the landing craft on the beach. Then a rapid siren sounded on the island, reminding everyone to retreat.

The officer looked at the time and asked worriedly.

Finally, as the four technicians took the elevator back to the surface after a final inspection, an officer walked over and asked.

"I need to personally confirm that there are no mistakes!"

On the morning of November 11st, at nine o'clock.

A bright and huge fireball rolled up a huge wave, and the billowing flames shone in the rising water vapor.

The atmosphere was ignited by tens of millions of degrees of high-temperature flames, and the shock wave set off violent winds that swept across the sea and sky, setting off a huge sea wall. The white sea wall and red smoke clouds swallowed up everything around it with thunderous momentum.

The flames wrapped in smoke and dust, together with the melted sand, formed a red air mass, rising into the air. It has risen to an altitude of more than hundreds of meters. The rolling crimson clouds of flames gradually formed a huge mushroom-shaped blazing smoke cloud in the air.

The sea wall formed by the huge waves directly swallowed up the warships that were the targets. The cows, orangutans and other animals that were grazing quietly on the warships were vaporized in this moment. "Oh my god..., I finally know what overwhelming feeling is..."

When Li Jie and others screamed in surprise, the mushroom cloud continued to rise and expand to high altitude, and the parachute sampling anti-aircraft artillery fired salvos. The cloud-piercing sampling drone passed through the huge sky under the radio command issued by the controller. Mushroom cloud.

Everyone couldn't believe what their eyes saw - the blue sea was illuminated by a strong light that was even many times stronger than the sun at noon.

Golden!
Crimson!

purple!
Gray and blue light enveloped the sea and sky.

People can't even describe what this scene is like.

A few seconds after the explosion, there were first waves of air, violently impacting the surrounding people and objects, followed by a strong, long-lasting and terrifying roar.

"It's like the end of the world!"

At this moment, everyone understood why some people regard the atomic bomb as a weapon to destroy the world, because it does have such power!

"Did you make it?"

After that flash of light, Navy Commander Zou Tongjie walked outside the bridge and looked at Gustav Hertz, who was standing next to him and was the person in charge of the project.

"The intensity of this explosion is probably more than 2 tons. Our calculation is accurate!"

Not only is it accurate, but the original design has been further optimized to not only use less core material, but also to achieve greater power.

Even the weight of the atomic bomb has been reduced to a large extent - in terms of miniaturization, they are currently in the lead.

At the same time, a specially improved submarine with pontoons on both sides sailed into the test area at full speed. Although the submarine had three-defense capabilities, the sailors still wore protective clothing, and its deck was equipped with A variety of devices are used to collect various data.

When this submarine with a very small draft entered the radiation zone, the Geiger counter clicked. Inside the submarine, technicians wearing protective suits continued to record data.

Although the radiation is too strong, people cannot directly enter the core zone, but under the control of the command aircraft, the drone improved from the B17 still continues to pass through the mushroom cloud and collect first-hand data.

On the nearby warships, observers indirectly felt the power of the explosion through high-powered telescopes and television footage from drone cameras.

Although the picture transmitted by the radio signal had some snowflakes, it was still directly displayed on those TVs. Li Jie and the reporters just watched everything there - several ships only about a hundred meters away from the bullseye. It had capsized, and the dozens of tall iron towers had completely disappeared. As for the big island, it had completely changed its appearance - the shock wave swept away everything.

Almost all the buildings on the shooting range site have disappeared. The aircraft, tanks, and artillery have either disappeared or been blown to pieces by the shock wave. Only some remaining building debris is still standing stubbornly.

This is the devastating blow caused by the atomic bomb.

After a moment of silence, the people on the entire aircraft carrier cheered loudly, cheering for the advent of the atomic bomb in Nanyang.

"Success!"

Zou Tongjie said something, then took out two cigars from his military uniform, held one in his mouth, handed the other to Gustav, and said.

"Congratulations, Mr. Hull."

"General, there is nothing worthy of congratulations!"

Shaking his head, Gustav said.

"We humans are always on the verge of self-destruction, and the atomic bomb..."

Gustav said while looking at the mushroom cloud that had not yet disappeared.

"Let's get closer to that edge than ever before!"

After listening to Gustav's somewhat unfounded words, Zou Tongjie, who had already lit his cigar, took a puff of his cigar, thought for a while and said to him.

"No, we have it to prevent others from destroying us! Well, Miss Ping...itself means peace! She is the real peacemaker!"
