"Three hundred seconds countdown!"

In the forward observation station, the detection program throughout the building is put into operation, and the collective overpressure three-prevention system is also activated at the same time, pouring outside air into the room where the detection program process passes.

"No signs of convection!"

"The screen door is working fine!"

"All levels of airtight doors are airtight!"

More than half of the volume of the observatory above the surface of the earth will not be directly damaged by the shock wave when it explodes, but it is calculated that the winds rich in radioactive smoke blowing from the center of the explosion still reach the area by more than 13 levels. If left unprotected, all the researchers in the observatory will have to wash their bodies and eat iodine tablets later.

"Countdown to 100 seconds, the temperature of the explosion is 15 degrees Celsius, the relative humidity is 45, and the wind is light in the southeast! The initiation conditions are complete, and there is no label reaction signal in the initiation area! ”

At the top of the Explosive Tower, the huge black iron bucket stood still.

"Thirty seconds countdown, the simulated constraint body is working properly! Everyone is ready to put on protective equipment and check once again if there is a reaction signal in the detonation area-"

From the Eagle Valley to the test site, a sharp air defense siren sounded in every manned area. Protective glasses with self-tinting lenses were put on, while scientists at the Forward Observatory began to check the airtightness of the fully enclosed suits.

"Five, four, three, two, one, zero, detonate!"

The pre-programmed initiation program was not terminated due to any abnormal operating conditions. The timer zeroed on time, and it was as if time had been completely frozen at that moment.

Nothing that mankind has been able to determine by sight so far can shine more brightly than the top of the current iron tower. Any light source must bow down to it, even if it is fleeting.

A few milliseconds after the detonation, the instrument detected a photosphere about 1,500 times brighter than the surface of the Sun. This level of brightness cannot be directly measured, and its brightness is an estimate based on the measurement results after the lens of the measuring instrument is covered with ink-colored lenses.

And in the eyes of those around the test site who are watching the detonation point intently, the artificial sun is rising. The ball of light, which had diminished hundreds of times in brightness, was still so bright, and the energy of the destruction broke free from the shackles set for it by humans at the top of the tower, and began to display its terrifying fusion power by means other than bright light.

"Observation Stations 1, 2, and 3 are offline!"

"What about data collection?"

"In addition to the equipment self-test report, a total of 328Mb of data has been transmitted by the optical fiber, which is basically in line with expectations!"

"Keep an eye on the unmanned observation stations on the periphery and step up the processing of data!"

"Yes! Observatory 4 is expected to be offline for fifteen seconds and is now collecting data on the plasma situation! In addition, unmanned observation aircraft are ready to enter the field! ”

The temperature of the original fireball of the explosion exceeded 10 billion degrees Celsius, coupled with the shock wave directly generated by the explosion and the strong explosion wind secondary to the air temperature difference, the test equipment near the explosion could not escape the fate of being destroyed, whether exposed or half-buried. They are either fired into instantaneous glass directly in the primordial fireball along with the surrounding sand, or they are surrounded by the heat that follows, vaporizing the metal parts that make them up along with the PCB board.

The unmanned observation station, which was slightly farther away from the center of the explosion, was directly hit by the shock wave, which swept through the sand and dust several meters high, and the storm lifted the entire airtight container half-buried in the ground in an instant, and threw it on the wasteland more than ten meters away. The wires and cables were torn off at the first moment, and together with the airtight container, they were whipped like a whip under the impetus of the shock wave, and fell apart with the shell several kilometers away......

Their mission is to transmit the collected data directly to the rear by cable or fiber before it is destroyed, and although the data can only be restored in a matter of seconds or even milliseconds, it is made for this purpose, and it is invaluable.

When the fireball gradually drifted upwards and turned into a mushroom cloud that reached the sky, most of Elta was surprised, trembled, and even bowed in worship in front of it. Of course, they couldn't see the mushroom cloud, and the bright light from the west alone was enough for them to keep their mouths shut.

In the silence of the afternoon in the western part of Kamla Harbor, a white light suddenly forcibly broke through the stratus clouds on the sea and land, and from the west the sky was rudely illuminated, imprinting an elongated shadow on everything on the ground.

The workers in the harbor stopped, and their overseers stood silent, whip in hand. The merchant who was bargaining for gold and silver coins in the harbor casually let go of his hand, and the round silver coin spun as a matter of course, rolling through the stone streets, brushing the toes of the people, and finally stopping at the heel of Neaesas's leather shoes.

At the meat stall beside Neusas, the butcher's dog, which would dig silver coins from the soil, had lost interest in the silver coins in front of him as if he had a plague, and looked at the strange scene in the western sky with his head and ears and his tongue out.

"Is this a daily situation?" Although Neusas is a living god, there is no doubt that he has no memory of the explosive flash of thermonuclear fusion. But he was calmer than the others, and questions popped out of his mouth first.

But and alas, no one answered his question. In the 21st century, when science and technology are popularized and primary education is popularized, elementary school students know that atomic eggs are "very powerful" on the earth's side, the scene of the artificial sun overshadowing the light of natural stars can be called "supernatural", not to mention the world where the indigenous people are even amazed by the spotlight searchlight? For modern people, the "supernatural" scene has long exceeded their comprehension threshold, and the excess can only be deducted from the SAN value.

"Oh my God...... This new scorching sun rises in the West...... Is the world about to end? ”

"Who's going to tell me, what's that damn light? Where is our sun? ”

"Run—it's the light of the earth that burns the earth—if you don't run, you'll die!"

After a brief silence, the crowd in the harbor erupted into an unprecedented commotion. Questions, complaints, and exclamations poured out of their gaping mouths, filling in an instant the port that had just been silent and the towns that connected it, blowing away the silence they had just created.

"The flash just now is the ongoing weapon test between the Elta Army and the Chinese side, please don't panic......"

The crowd was discussing, fearless, when the sound of the electric booster horn suddenly came from the end of the dock town to the rhythmic sound of a horseshoe hitting the stone road.

"It's Mr. Postman!" Someone on the upper floor of the street immediately poked their heads out of the window to identify the person on the horse, and shouted loudly. "Get out of the way for Mr. Postman!"

The postman was still a respectable profession in South Elta, where order had not been completely disrupted, so street vendors and pedestrians hurried to make way for the postman with a small megaphone to pass through a road large enough for horses.

I saw them retreat and ask hurriedly, "Mr. Postman!" Postman - Sir! Is this true? Where did the news come from, and how could it come so quickly? ”

"The big horn in the center of town has gone off -- that's what it's about." The postman shook the reins of his left hand and moved his mouth away from the microphone in reply. "Since there is no loudspeaker installed here, the people of the provisional government of Kamla City have gathered us in advance, and as soon as there is a flash, we will be able to spread the news to a place outside the center of town."

Standing two meters away from the postman, Neuesas could hear it clearly - what does it mean to "gather in advance"? If this isn't a trick made up by people from another world, then what's the use of gathering the postmen in advance?

"Mr. Postman," said Neesas, who thought of this, hastened forward, "were you really gathered by the gentlemen above before that bright flash appeared?" Did they really know in advance the cause and timing of this flash? ”

"yes." The postman glanced at the aristocratic young man in front of him, who was dressed quite well, and quickly replied respectfully. "At about nine o'clock, as soon as I returned to pick up the letter, I was told to stay there and wait for instructions, and someone from another world brought food for us to enjoy in the same place. It was about half past ten that they sent an order for us to mount our horses and go to the square to watch the western flash at eleven o'clock. When the bell tower struck the eighth sound, there was a glitter like the sun shining in the west, and then I was here, as you can see. ”

Damn it. Noy Esas scolded inwardly. Anything else, to be able to create such a flash on the ground, to make the sun bow down in the face of man-made miracles, he didn't even dare to think about it, let alone understand what it was. The thought of a group of fools on the island of Lancasbourne thousands of miles away was making him feel furious, and a wave of anger rose from the bottom of his feet.

Those people from other worlds also guessed the riot that this kind of "celestial weapon" would bring, and thought of announcing the facts in advance to avoid the loss of the riot to the normal operation of the town, which is not only a matter of so-called strength or weakness. Noy Esas gritted his teeth secretly - not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of managing the people, the Church of the Two Moons was really no match for its opponents in this other world.

"Thank you for your advice." Despite the fact that his heart has become a mess, Noyesas can still not show his face. When the postman had gone away and the crowd had dispersed, he said to the captain who was following him:

"Looks like we're here at the right time. Impartiality, not sooner or later. ”

The captain turned around for some reason and continued to beckon the others to follow, and the group went straight to the chamber of commerce that the captain was familiar with.
