Chapter 344: An exponential step ahead of us?
As the electromagnetic railgun fell silent for dozens of seconds, finally, a bright light shone from the muzzle of the gun again.
At the same time, dozens of kilometers away, the antimatter bomb signal device linked to the electromagnetic railgun received a signal, and about ten seconds passed, when the projectile of the electromagnetic gun was about to target several targets, the Penning ion trap device in the antimatter bomb instantly stopped running, and the super magnetic field that bound the antiprotons also disappeared instantly, and at the same time, the surrounding air was also instantly filled in.
Like-sex repellent, opposite-sex attract, positive and anti-matter seem to have been entangled for thousands of years lovers, instantly embracing each other, resisting and lingering......
"Bang!"
It's like the rising sun piercing through the darkness.
With a deafening roar, a bright light thousands of times brighter than the sun instantly pierced the silent big next door, although it was still noon, the bright light around it was like a lonely long night.
After the bright light, a shock wave spread out like a boiling splash of water, and everywhere it passed, houses, trees, cattle and sheep, and all kinds of discarded weapons and equipment seemed to have been devoured by demons.
Dozens of kilometers away, between the sky and the earth, the drone is crumbling in the wind, and the observation equipment on the ground is like duckweed without roots;
And in the base, all the electronic equipment also bloomed in an instant snowflake white, and then, everyone felt a violent shock of the entire base, and the violent energy seemed to be about to lift the lid of the base.
It worked!
Three big characters instantly poured out of everyone's hearts, and their faces were full of joy.
Dozens of seconds later, the electronics in the base returned to normal.
Immediately, the detectors of γ-ray everywhere also roared.
"Detector No. 1 γ when the radiation dose reaches 200,000 rem!"
"Detector No. 2 γ when the radiation dose reaches 70,000 rem!"
"Detector No. 3 γ when the radiation dose reaches 30,000 rem!"
"Detector N......"
The staff who reported the situation, with a slight tremor in his voice, reported the γ-ray dose of the detector from high to low, from far to near, and at the same time, he also reported the explosion yield level of the energy center monitored by satellites and electronic equipment in various places:
"The explosion intensity of the explosion center: 12,000 tons of TNT equivalent! About 300mg of energy equivalent to the annihilation of the antimatter bomb, the antimatter bomb test was successful!"
Following the successful test launch of the electromagnetic railgun, the second experimental goal of the Lop Nur base was also successfully achieved!
The excitement of the announcer can be felt by all.
Because
Not only him, but all the researchers and even guests in the control room clenched their fists excitedly because of the curtain in front of them.
The explosive yield of 12,000 tons of TNT fully meets the energy released by the annihilation of 300mg of antimatter.
Although the specific extent of the damage will have to wait for drones or even mobile observation equipment on the ground to detect before it can be fully judged, the test scenarios that have been initially fed back from satellites show that they have achieved the expected goal!
It worked!
The antimatter bomb really worked!
As more and more pictures of the explosion center came back, Academician Tian and other researchers, whose eyes were locked on the big screen, could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts and shouted out the excitement.
"We made it!"
Yes, they succeeded!
The picture was already in shambles, and everything around the center of the explosion was like a sea of commercial fields, completely changed.
The positive and anti-matter were successfully annihilated, and the furious energy from hell was finally released!
This kind of energy can destroy the world and also benefit the common people, in this universe, there is hardly any form of energy that can be purer than them, closer to the origin of the universe, but now, it has been controlled by them!
As a result, the cry resonated in everyone's hearts.
In the main control room, all the people stood up, and a deafening applause and cheers rang out, and people hugged each other, laughed and cried, and high-fived each other.
Victory is theirs after all.
History will remember this day, this moment, and all those who have worked hard for it!
Looking at the researchers who raised their arms and cheered, Liu Feng's face was also flushed, his fists were clenched tightly, his shoulders trembled, his dry lips trembled slightly, and he muttered words that only he could hear.
Academician Tian behind him laughed even more heroically, patting Professor Zhuo's shoulder with his right hand, excited like a child.
"Well, I'll just say our device works!"
"It works, Academician Tian, you are really immortal!"
The corners of Mr. Yu Min's mouth trembled even more behind him, and he shook his head when he saw the two people in front of him hugging each other incoherently.
"What, Lao Yu, aren't you jealous?" Looking at the two rows of excited 'young men' in front of him, Academician Zhu Qihe smiled at the corner of his eyes and teased.
He raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
If it was usual, the old man would definitely take advantage of the situation to refute two sentences, but at this moment, he was only excited in his heart, and he couldn't help but cry.
From the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb, from the hydrogen bomb to the neutron bomb, the electromagnetic pulse bomb, the three-phase bomb and other nuclear weapons, the nuclear cause of the Republic has gone through many thorns along the way, and this has led to decades of peace for the country and the nation.
However, the traditional nuclear bomb can only defend Huaguo and stand up, and the current antimatter bomb will definitely allow Huaguo to stand on top of the world and lead the world!
He will usher in a whole new era!
The cheers echoed in his ears, and Comrade Diao, who was standing in the center of the third row of the main control room, couldn't help but be infected by the scene, and the applause in his hands never stopped.
Standing at the level of the state, no one knows the strategic significance of antimatter better than him.
Although this is only a preliminary success,
Although this is only a weapon,
But he did usher in a whole new era!
"Admiral Liang, Professor Liu has opened a new era for us!"
"Yes, Elder!"
A bald old man wearing an army uniform next to him also applauded excitedly,
"This new weapon will bring a great change to the world's wars, and I believe that the day when our country will once again stand on the top of the world's nation is not far off!"
Several generals around him also applauded and nodded in agreement.
Nodding and shaking his head, Comrade Diao seemed to remember something, sighed and said:
"It's not just a weapon...... That young man's appetite is far greater than we thought!"
Standing in the center of the control room, hearing the data broadcast by the announcer, and then looking at the excited crowd, the reporter comrade didn't know what was going on at all, and he didn't even know why these people were cheering, but he clearly knew that the shock just now, the flashing white light, was definitely created by some kind of epoch-making existence!
Although his face was stunned, his instinct as a journalist allowed his hand to press the shutter constantly, faithfully recording this historic moment.
albeit
What he recorded will most likely not be made public for decades......
……
Beijing, Zhongnanhai.
The papers on the table were piled up as high as a hill, and if it was usual, even if the sky fell, the old man would not be idle, but at this moment, the Great Elder was sitting on the sofa in a daze, staring at the clock hanging on the wall, and his right hand was holding a teacup and sipping from time to time.
The secretary on the side also flipped through the documents quietly, not daring to disturb at all.
"Da Da Da ......"
The wall clock on the wall gradually moved to 13 o'clock.
Suddenly, the Great Elder stood up abruptly:
"It's time! Don't they have any news yet?"
The secretary was taken aback:
"Not yet!"
The old man took two steps with his hands behind his back, and finally sat down again, sighed, and said:
"yes, the time has just arrived, how can you send the news back so quickly?"
Secretary: "......"
The office fell silent again.
Finally, after a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.
The old man stood up abruptly again: "Please come in!"
There was a hint of urgency in his tone, but also a hint of nervousness.
The door opened, and a man in a military uniform strode in, holding a document in his hand.
"Great Elder, news of Lop Nur!
"Good!"
The old man's hands trembled and he took the document handed over by the man in military uniform, only to see that only a few dozen words were written on the document.
"Your Excellency: Living up to your expectations, the antimatter bomb was finally officially detonated at 13 o'clock on January 20, 2012, and the test was a perfect success—— Lop Nur nuclear test base: Liu Feng, Zhang Qin......"
"Good!"
"Good!"
After a few cheers, the old man's face was full of red, staring at the document in his hand, excited like a child.
"Pass the order down and reward our heroes!"
……
Country M, somewhere on a floor of the CIA headquarters.
Hurried footsteps rang out.
I saw Adair holding a document and quickly knocking on Webb's office door with a look of urgency.
"Sir, the latest news from Huaguo, our satellites have detected a strong energy response at the Lop Nur nuclear test base in Huaguo, and the specific report is as follows!"
Hearing that it was an urgent document from Lop Nur in Huaguo, Weber took it with a serious face, and quickly scanned the documents on the front page with an eagle-like gaze.
"Smack!"
Immediately, he slapped the table fiercely, with an angry face.
"With an explosive yield of 12,000 tons of TNT, the Chinese are testing nuclear weapons! How dare they test nuclear weapons!"
Weber's anger is justified.
After all, as early as September 10, 1996, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty by an overwhelming majority of 158 votes in favor, 3 votes against, and 5 abstentions.
China itself is the second signatory to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty and has been maintaining the legal effect of the treaty.
After all, on the one hand, from the very nature of the treaty, such a treaty is not only beneficial to country M, but also to China; on the other hand, with the rapid development of supercomputer technology, it is already possible to simulate nuclear weapons experiments, and there is no need to conduct nuclear tests in reality.
Moreover, all along, except for the two special countries of Persia and the Northern Stick, although the five hooligans have secretly simulated nuclear tests with supercomputers, on the surface, no one is a fool, and they will not take the initiative to break this balance - a complete ban on realistic nuclear weapons experiments!
This is the greatest restriction on non-nuclear-weapon states! It is also the greatest protection for maintaining the hegemony of nuclear-armed states!
However, now Hua Guo has taken the initiative to break this treaty!
Aren't the 5 hooligans who have lost the most!
What do Chinese people want to do?
Did you take the wrong medicine or did you have a bad brain?
"Arrange for me to meet Mr. President immediately!"
"Sir, wait!"
Looking at the furious Weber, Adair could only stop him,
"It's not a nuclear weapon, we haven't detected any radioactive material......"
Weber: "???"
Not nuclear weapons?
"Then tell me, apart from nuclear weapons, what other weapons can produce 12,000 tons of TNT explosive yield, and what weapons need to be tested at their former nuclear weapons test base?"
After all, Weber's reminder calmed down a little, thinking that in this report, there was indeed no mention of nuclear radioactive materials, which are the symbolic substances of nuclear weapons explosions, and he was also suspicious of this, and he did not think about meeting President Ao Guanhai immediately, and continued to look at the documents in his hand.
Just now, I was really excited......
Adair breathed a sigh of relief and continued to analyze:
"Sir, the Chinese people really have no need and will not lose their own interests to carry out nuclear weapons experiments, but the significance of this weapon test is probably more terrible than the significance of nuclear weapons, you can take a look at this, this, here......"
He helped flip through a few documents, pointed to a few images of electromagnetic railguns taken by satellites, and asked,
"Look at these things, what do they look like?"
"A ...... Cannon?"
Weber was not a weapons expert, nor was he a weapon enthusiast, nor did he have a deep understanding of weapons, so he could only guess when he looked at the sci-fi cannon in the Lop Nur base that was the size of half a house and shimmered with metallic luster.
"You guessed it right!"
Contrary to Weber, Adair did a lot of homework on weapons and equipment, and when he got the image, he immediately consulted a senior weapons expert.
"This is indeed a giant cannon! It's just that unlike ordinary cannons, this is Huaguo's latest electromagnetic railgun!"
"Is the electromagnetic railgun finally successfully developed?"
Webb frowned, looking at the clear image transmitted by the satellite: after the instant shining white light, the mess all over the ground, like the apocalyptic scene, his brow furrowed even deeper,
"How can their electromagnetic railgun be so powerful? 12,000 tons of TNT equivalent, even our latest electromagnetic gun, is nothing more than that!"
It's not just that, I'm afraid it's far from reaching!
Webb sighed.
"Our weapons experts have already analyzed this, theoretically speaking, 12,000 tons of TNT explosive yield is not a problem at all, the Chinese should have used some kind of high explosive, coupled with a powerful kinetic energy of up to Mach 20 ......"
The explosive yield of 12,000 tons of TNT is almost comparable to the destructive power of a small nuclear bomb.
Thinking of this, Adair shuddered in his heart.
"However, the most terrifying thing is that, even if it is a high-explosive projectile, the weight of the projectile is at least hundreds of kilograms, and it can make hundreds of kilograms of objects fly out at a speed of Mach 20, and the electromagnetic cannon of the Chinese people is enough to be an exponential step ahead of us!"
