Initially, the US early warning radar in Alaska and high-frequency communications within a range of 4,000 kilometers all failed for up to 20 hours. Immediately, the U.S. intelligence agency stationed in Finland also sent back information that an unprecedented huge explosion occurred in the direction of Novaya Zemlya, which could be seen and felt even far away in Finland, because it caused the glass of local houses to shatter; It is estimated that the blast generated a storm pressure of up to 300 pounds per square inch, covering a range of nearly 1,000 kilometers. At the same time, the seismic wave transmitted to the earth was detected by the United States Geological Survey and caused an earthquake with a scale of 5~5.25 on the Richter scale.

ACCORDING TO THE INVESTIGATION, THE HUGE EXPLOSION WAS DUE TO THE SOVIET MILITARY'S TEST EXPLOSION OF A SUPER QINGDAN WEIGHING 26 TONS AND AN EXPLOSION YIELD OF AT LEAST 50 MILLION TONS IN MITI-SHIHA BAY ON NOVAYA NILA ISLAND. He is 3846 times greater than the equivalent of the little boy who razed Hiroshima in Japan to the ground back then!

DAYIWAN is a three-phase hydrogen bomb (three reaction stages) that, although its explosive power has been reduced to 50 million tons, is still ten times the total number of bombs used in World War II. Its first stage of detonation is based on nuclear fission, and then the compression procedure becomes nuclear fusion; Most of the QINGDAN uses the energy generated in the first stage to compress into a multiplying nuclear fusion stage, which is from fission to initiate fusion, and the neutrons released by fusion induce more intense fission.

This big guy not only destroyed everything in the vicinity of the center of the explosion, but also seriously affected the electronic communication system over a radius of thousands of kilometers. The Soviet anti-aircraft radar in the Arctic was burned out and could not detect air targets. Radio communications at command posts at all levels were interrupted, and communication with the troops was not possible for more than an hour.

The fireball produced at the time of the explosion was 4,600 meters in diameter at that time, far exceeding the height of the detonation, so the fireball quickly swept the earth; After that, it almost spread to the height just dropped by the bomber. And you can still see it from nearly 1,000 kilometers away. After the explosion, the mushroom cloud was nearly 40 kilometers wide and as high as 60 kilometers, more than seven times higher than Mount Everest; The hot winds from the explosion can cause grade 3 burns even to people up to 170 kilometers away, and the flash of the explosion can cause severe pain and burns in the eyes up to 220 kilometers away, and even cataracts and blindness.

All wooden or brick houses in the Severni Colony 55 kilometers away from the test site were destroyed; Hundreds of kilometres of wooden houses were completely destroyed, with only brick or stone houses remaining. But there are no doors, windows and roofs; The electromagnetic pulse wave after the explosion caused a one-hour radio communication gap; The atmospheric disturbance caused by the explosion circled the Earth three times. Pushed the entire Eurasian continent south by 9 mm.

Russia's Novaya Zemlya Island is located in the Arctic Circle, with year-round snow, a cold climate, and a sparsely populated population. Russia's closest cities to the island, such as Murmansk and Arkhangelsk, are 1,000 kilometers away. But since this incident, this desolate island, which used to be frequented only by polar bears and seagulls, has suddenly come alive and attracted the attention of the world.

But what was left after the explosion was just a dead world within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and the entire island of Novaya Zemlya had been razed to the ground, at a height of 4,000 meters. A large crater with a diameter of more than 3 kilometers was smashed by the huge impact energy from the air, and the center was like a crater, and the ground within a radius of dozens of kilometers had collapsed.

Khrushchev was so pleased with the results of the explosion that he said in a speech: 'We have a bigger one, but we don't want to test it, because we are afraid of shattering our glass.' ‘

This is not Khrushchev's bragging, because the original design team created a 100-million-ton super-big thing, and the name of this bomb is as terrible as its power - it is called the "Khrushchev bomb".

However. When the designers calculated a radius of 1,000 kilometers of the power of the explosion, they were puzzled: 750 kilometers from Novaya Zemlya there were cities and densely populated settlements. They consulted Khrushchev directly and decided to reduce the charge by half. for 50 million tonnes equivalent. Experts estimate that if such a tower were to be cast in a big city like New York, the city would immediately turn to ashes. Even hiding under the subway in the depths is not spared. Because all entrances and exits of the subway will be melted by the flames. Cities within 700 kilometres of the epicentre of the explosion are also suffering. The explosion test was finally decided to be carried out at the Novaya Zemlya test site. The test site occupies the entire island of Novaya Zemlya, with an area of 82,600 square kilometers.

The tests of the hydrogen bomb conducted by the USSR on Novaya Zemlya made the Americans aware of the serious environmental impact of nuclear tests in the atmosphere. Eventually, the leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States finally sat down at the negotiating table and signed an agreement banning nuclear tests in the atmosphere, the cosmic sphere, and underwater; Meanwhile. The two sides also imposed limits on nuclear equivalents. Since then, the Soviet Union's nuclear tests on Novaya Zemlya have all gone underground, thus avoiding the pollution of the surface environment caused by nuclear tests.

In fact, not long after, the Soviet Union conducted underground nuclear tests on Novaya Zemlya. The first underground nuclear tests were carried out in underground horizontal tunnels in the Shumiliha Valley, each with a nuclear yield of more than 150,000 tons. Meanwhile. The Soviet Union also conducted underground nuclear tests of small-yield nuclear installations on the island.

Since the Shumilikha Valley could not be used for testing megaton nuclear weapons, in 1972 the Soviet Union built a new test site. From 1964 to 1990, the Soviet Union conducted a total of 39 underground nuclear tests on Novaya Zemlya, during which 133 nuclear explosions were carried out, the main purpose of these tests was to improve and perfect Soviet nuclear weapons. Russian experts believe that the impact of underground nuclear tests on the environment is very limited. The results of the tests conducted by Russian environmental experts show that the amount of nuclear radiation on Novaya Zemlya does not exceed the natural index of 7-13 microroentgens per hour, which is within the normal value and is harmless to the human body.

The explosion caused panic all over the world, because this thing was not a weapon of war at all, but something used to destroy the earth, but fortunately, the Soviet government did not go crazy and signed a contract with the United States for a limited nuclear test.

Tang Ning also took advantage of this popularity to add a plot of stealing nuclear test intelligence to "007: Love from Russia", hoping to use this incident to hype up the movie again. (To be continued......)
