Zhang Nan unconsciously popped out of Du Mu's sentence in his mind: "During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." It seems that the Turkic barbarians can't celebrate the Qingming Festival at all, and the water seen on TV is too much, it is still salty and slightly undesirable.

But even if the barbarians didn't know what was so special about April 5th, from now on, these guys will be 100% unforgettable about this day!

It's like a nuclear bomb, how spectacular!

I don't know which detonator and fuse in the sunken ship caught fire for what reason, and more than 20,000 tons of explosives in the cargo hold of the sunken Veresagino suddenly exploded.

The smoke that rose in an instant was hundreds of meters high, and a large amount of water vapor was evaporated by the high temperature, and even formed a huge smoke mass similar to a mushroom cloud after mixing with the smoke!

The depth of the strait on the side where the wreck is located is only 30 to 50 meters, and the deepest part of the east is nearly 100 meters, but this point of sea water still can't cover the energy of the explosion, and the shock wave spreads to all sides at a terrifying speed, and the buildings near the west bank of the strait are the first to be impacted, like pieces of paper being blown away and shattered...

Television viewers half the world are so confused to see the scale of conventional explosives explosion in the history of mankind: the first place was of course the Helgoland explosion carried out by the British.

In 1890, Britain ceded the geographically important island of Helgoland to Germany in exchange for Zanzibar in East Africa. After World War I, it fell to the Allies and was later returned to Germany.

After the Third Empire rebuilt the island's fortifications, after the end of World War II, the British were convinced that they could not obtain this important island that could contain Germany, and on April 18, 1947, the British did a crazy and stupid thing: they buried 6,800 tons of explosives on this small island in an attempt to blow it up completely.

Ruined it, and did not return it to the Germans.

With a boom, the largest conventional blast in human history failed to wipe out Helgoland and only blew off the southern tip of the island – changing the shape of the island from 1.27 square kilometres to one square kilometre, with the Guinness Book of World Records listing it as "the largest conventional blasting in the world".

The uninhabited and unbombed island of Helgoland was used as a bombing training range for the RAF, and the islanders, who had been evacuated to the German mainland, staged a series of demonstrations demanding their return home, culminating in the formal transfer of sovereignty over Helgoland Island to the Federal Republic of Germany by the United Kingdom on March 1, 1952.

The largest conventional blasting can also be said to be one of the stupid blasting in human history, but in 47 years, the John Bull warehouse stacked with T-NT and picric acid such as high explosives with a detonation rate of about 7000 meters per second must be too much to go, and when the expiration date arrives, the cost pressure of destruction must be not small, it is better to take it and listen to the sound.

Few people have ever seen the explosion on Helgoland, but Zhang Nan watched the explosion of 5,500 tons of explosives at the Ningxia-Xia Dafeng coal mine in 2007 on TV.

On that occasion, a relatively high 230-meter mountain peak was flattened by almost 40 meters, and in less than 1 second, 5,500 tons of explosives smashed more than 6 million cubic meters of the mountain!

It is claimed that the explosion was equivalent to 1/4 of the Hiroshima nuclear bombing, and the energy released was equivalent to an earthquake of about 5.0 magnitude, which is rare in the world.

In fact, the people who write the news deliberately ignore, or do not understand one thing at all, - explosives are different from explosives, and the yield of nuclear bombs is calculated by T-NT with a detonation speed of nearly 7,000 meters per second.

The mine blasting used ammonium oil explosives, and the detonation speed was only 2,500 to 3,000 meters per second, and the power was not the same at all.

However, even if the explosives are different, the explosion is divided into 25 detonations in a short period of time, and the scene is still shocking to watch on TV!

But compared to the footage in front of you...

There is no comparison!

More than 20,000 tons of explosives, even if there are thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate and ammonium oil explosives that may even fail after being damp or wet, those military munitions and T-NTs of unknown quantities are not afraid of short-term immersion in seawater.

There are many types of ammunition, and many of the powerful explosives filled in it are more powerful than standard TNT!

Not only the shock wave, but also the high temperature of the explosion of the ammunition vaporized the seawater, and the living creatures on the west bank were scalded by the heat and water vapor in a short time.

The shock wave continued to move forward, and the Meli Fortress, built in 1452, four or five hundred meters south of the wreck and four or five hundred meters away on the west bank, faced the shock wave, and many of the seemingly solid upper masonry structures were instantly shattered.

The shock wave rushed into the fortress from all the cracks, and the inside of the fortress was as if it had been directly hit by a heavy bomb, and all the decorations and internal wooden structures disappeared in an instant!

The Anatolian fortress on the Asian side of the city was in slightly better shape, but the upper outer brick wall also collapsed in an instant, and the 600-year-old castle did not completely resist the tremendous force of the shock wave.

The two fortified forts were horrible to behold, not to mention the ordinary civil buildings in the vicinity, like a large pile of hotels built along the strait, which were largely wiped out under the shock wave, leaving only a few remaining pillars.

There is still a difference between an explosion from a munitions ship and a nuclear explosion, although the compartments are relatively close, they do not detonate all at once, and not all explosives explode at the same time.

I can't see what those are flying, maybe it's a grenade that didn't detonate, maybe it's a broken ship's planks, maybe it's a thousand-pound bomb, maybe even the wreckage of a T72 tank ordered by The Gambia!

The shock wave swept everything, but the attenuation speed was also very fast, the news reporters under the ancient castle were photographed into meat pies, and a large number of cameras and staff on the high ground a kilometer away were only blown by the attenuated shock wave.

But there is no shortage of crazy guys among those reporters, and the huge explosion is a major event that can only happen once in a lifetime, and the desperate ones are still holding on to the equipment, and they are not all scattered and fled.

Run, it's better not to run: the sky will soon be smashing things down, and the chaos of huge explosions will fly out of the way for kilometers at most!

Brave videographers and reporters are not the only ones in this place, and in the camera lens, the shock wave is not the most terrifying: a slightly irregular thin line is stirred up in the strait about 1 kilometer wide.

The people who saw this scene and the countless people in front of the TV couldn't help but shout: "Tsunami!"

It's not entirely correct to say it's a tsunami, it's a huge wave: an underwater explosion with a yield of several thousand tons of T-NT, if it's nothing in the deep sea, it's okay no matter how shallow it is, but here the depth is just right, and the terrain is better!

It looks like a thin line on TV, but it can actually be more than ten or twenty meters high!
