Chapter 580: Nuclear Experiments
On the afternoon of February 17, Eastern time, in a valley in Alaska, the soldiers of the 91st Security Force of the United States were constantly busy. ∈ ↗ Top Novel, www.
Two soldiers in radiation suits are placing a nuclear bomb, the size of an ordinary artillery shell, on the base of an underground pit. There are also two soldiers in the pit examining various instruments and cameras arranged in the pit.
"Report to the captain, the review is complete, and all the equipment is normal. A soldier reported to the major, who was watching them after planting the bomb.
"Very good, withdraw from the real yàn area and seal the entrance to the cave. ”
The four soldiers withdrew from the pit one after another, and the major probed outside the door to inspect the pit for another week, and then pressed a red button outside the door, and a steel door with a full two meters back "rumbled" out of the stone wall on one side. Two minutes later, the entrance to the cave was completely sealed by an iron door.
The four soldiers turned a U-shaped road and drove an iron gate to seal the alleyway. This was done four times in a row, and only then did the four of them begin to take off their bulky radiation suits.
A soldier said as he took off:
"Captain, I've heard them say that the Carl Vinson surrendered to the Arrow Wolf mercenaries yesterday. And this morning, the Reagan followed in their footsteps. Could our sudden nuclear explosion test have anything to do with this? ”
"Lieutenant, you should know something, don't ask. "The Major had taken off his helmet, and he was a black man in his forties, with a shaved scalp.
"Why do I feel weird, we're not going to use nuclear bombs, do I? I remember that Donilon was killed by the Arrow Wolf mercenaries because of his talk about using nuclear bombs. No one is going to use a nuclear bomb regardless of life or death, is there?"
The lieutenant was a white man, in his thirties. He ignored the black major's warning and continued to talk to himself.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, we don't understand these military affairs, don't let the Judge Advocate General's Office find us trouble. ”
Another soldier said that he was also a lieutenant.
In the midst of this base. Except for the large number of soldiers who perform guard duties on the periphery, the soldiers who can enter the core area are all at the rank of captain or above. Some of the menial work is also done by them.
"The news of the surrender of those two carrier battle groups to the Arrow Wolf mercenaries should be true, and I heard about it from Colonel Jones. The submarine of the Arrow Wolf is so powerful that the equipment of the Navy cannot detect them at all, and our submarine-launched missiles cannot intercept them. Soldiers cannot be sacrificed for nothing. I caused them to do it, and the families of these soldiers will be grateful to the Pentagon. ”
Said the second lieutenant, who finally took off his radiation suit. The three white lieutenants did not take the black major seriously at all, and said without scruples, believing that this happened often, and after the black major had warned them once, he did not speak.
"Something big is going to happen! Don't you see the news media keep silent? When the public knew that we already had two aircraft carrier battle groups surrendering without a fight. I don't know how to mess with it yet. The lieutenant continued.
By this time, the black colonel had already put away the radiation protection and took the lead to walk out of the alleyway.
"If it weren't for the barracks, I would have broken his leg. The lieutenant looked at the black major, who had walked five or six paces away, spat on the ground, and whispered. The other two didn't answer his words.
There is a secret verification field here, this real yàn roadway is located 800 meters below sea level, and if you add the rolling mountains, the rock and soil above this real yàn field are more than 1,500 meters thick. There are two more of the same roadway in this mountainous area. They were all excavated before the United Nations treaty banning verification yàn and have been abandoned for more than a decade.
In an old two-story reinforced concrete building 10 kilometers away from the nuclear explosion site, Major General Auston, commander of the Alaska base of the United States Strategic Force, is having a video call with the Ministry of National Defense.
"Mr. Leon, the preparations here are almost complete. We are waiting for instructions from the Pentagon. ”
Minister Leon on the big screen looked at the moto360 smartwatch in his hand.
"General Auston, the nuclear explosion took place in five minutes. This nuclear explosion is very important, and you have to make sure that there are no surprises, because it is related to the future and destiny of Millican. ”
"Rest assured, Mr. Minister. Both nuclear explosions have been carefully inspected by us to ensure that there are no accidents. ”
Major General Alston issued a military order to Leon.
Leon just smiled and didn't explain it to Auston. The accident he was referring to was the same thing as the accident that Auston knew.
This nuclear explosion may not be able to be completed. Leon would not think that the commander of the Aerospace Forces of China was talking about it and had no purpose. He already believed that China had the ability to suppress nuclear explosions. But he didn't have a heart, and he hoped that this time the verification yàn would explode as scheduled.
The surprise he said was not to make the corner of the world make a wrong judgment for other technical reasons.
The two small nuclear bombs weighing 50 kilograms with a TNT yield of 11,000 tons were used for this verification. This is also the smallest Chinese tactical nuclear bomb that the United States can make, compared with the small nuclear bombs of the Arrow Wolf mercenaries in the intelligence video, the technology of the United States is still far behind.
“ten,nine,eight,seven,six,five,four,three,two,one,zero。 ”
After the countdown was over, Major General Alston personally pressed the detonation button. More than 100 pairs of eyes were glued to the two nuclear bombs on the big screen.
Time seemed to stand still, and the sound of his heartbeat could be stopped in the command hall of the University, and a second passed, the earth did not shake, and two seconds passed, and the two nuclear bombs displayed on the big screen were still erected on the pedestal of the crater.
Beads of sweat ran down Major General Auston's forehead.
"Check, check now, what the hell is going on?" Alston looked mad as he roared hysterically at his men.
"Major General Auston, please report back on your situation there. ”
On the other big screen, Minister Leon's face did not show surprise, but seemed to feel relieved. He clearly saw the situation in the command hall of the actual yàn base, but he still had to listen to Alston's personal report.
In the Pentagon conference room, all the members of the National Security Council of the United States hidden behind the screen have all looked like ashes.
"Mr. Minister, there were accidents with the two real nuclear bombs, they did not detonate, and the information fed back by the real yàn food, the detonation procedure has been completed inside the nuclear bomb. But they did not fission. ”
Auston said dejectedly. This accident was a huge blow to him, and he had a hunch that his career was coming to an end...... (To be continued......) I527
