The sinking of the Kowloon Peninsula cannot be said to have nothing to do with the attack of a nuclear bomb, but it was definitely not sunk by a nuclear bomb.

Looking at the city below, Qi Lin couldn't help but think of a book that was quite famous in the old era.

"Shanghai Fortress".

In that book, Shanghai was attacked by aliens, and had to use a defensive energy bubble as a shield, at first, on the protection of the energy bubble, the war was stalemate for several years, but with the increasingly fierce attack of the aliens, the defense of the energy bubble began to gradually become stretched, and it was broken down many times - the energy bubble is no longer an indestructible shield, it is crumbling, and it may collapse at any time.

There is no way, at the time of life and death, the person in power has to play the last hole card - Lu Shen plan.

Sinking the entire Shanghai fortress into the ground and flattening the originally hemispherical defensive shield can greatly increase the strength of the "bubble" defense...... Although this plan will lead to the sacrifice of many people, it is already the best choice from the situation at that time.

The sunken Kowloon Peninsula in front of you is similar to the Shanghai fortress in the middle.

"If Kowloon was sunk on the initiative of the Chinese side...... It seems that this issue ...... You can explain it clearly! ”

As we all know, when a nuclear bomb explodes, the most powerful direct killing factors are shock waves, optical radiation, and early nuclear radiation; as for the contamination of radioactive materials, although it will cause greater aftermath after a nuclear explosion, it is inferior to the first three factors in terms of instantaneous destructive ability.

The body of water, on the other hand, is an excellent barrier against the first three killing factors.

By sinking the city into the sea at a depth of tens of meters, the massive seawater can absorb a large amount of shock waves and early nuclear radiation in a nuclear explosion, not to mention the light radiation with a lot of heat...... Victoria Bay and the South China Sea are connected to each other, and it is itself a huge body of water, and the evaporation of a large amount of seawater will take away the huge amount of heat released by the light radiation, and the temperature of the seabed at a depth of tens of meters does not even exceed 50 degrees Celsius.

But if that's really the case...... Then another question arises.

As far as Qi Lin knows, due to geological reasons, no large public shelters have been built on Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories, and on the eve of the full-scale outbreak of war, most of the residents of Hong Kong have already moved to the mainland, and the entire city is probably less than 100,000 people, counting the army, so why use this means to protect the city?

Kowloon is indeed an extremely prosperous city, which is true, but the imperial capital and the magic capital, which are more important than it, have not implemented the land sinking plan, and even Hong Kong Island, which is on the edge of Kowloon and is even more prosperous, has become a scorched earth under the bombardment of nuclear bombs, and only the Kowloon Peninsula has been preserved by land sinking, which is really a bit unreasonable.

Could it be that there is not enough time?

Qi Lin thought about it and felt that this possibility was basically zero, in terms of priority, Hong Kong Island must be higher than the Kowloon Peninsula, and Kowloon, as a peninsula, must be more difficult in the implementation of the land sinking plan - it must first cut off the land mass, divide the entire peninsula from the mainland, and then destroy the continental shelf directly below the peninsula, and at the same time pump out a large amount of seawater...... The amount of work is no less than the construction of a Great Wall around the entire border of China.

What secrets are hidden on the Kowloon Peninsula to enjoy such protection?

Qi Lin slowly floated to the surface of the water, and after changing his breath, he quickly dived directly below again.

Kowloon Qi Lin has not been here, when he returned to China, it was through the Hong Kong port to enter the country, and while waiting for the document review, he stayed in Hong Kong, the Chinese Special Administrative Region, for a few days, Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and several well-known tourist attractions in the New Territories naturally also went to visit.

At that time, the international situation was already very tense, except for several superpowers such as China, the United States, the European Union, and Russia, which did not go to war with each other, and several other countries and forces were already inextricably fighting, and the flames of war burned almost all over the world.

And behind these forces, the shadows of several big countries can be seen more or less, in fact, it is almost equivalent to these big powers indirectly participating in the war.

In this case, Hong Kong, an international metropolis, is more or less certain to be affected, and with the release of one policy after another, the country's administrators are gradually rewinding the power in their hands, and with it, the economic depression and soaring prices...... In addition to the huge international conglomerates, which made a fortune through arms deals and mercenaries, many of the most famous attempts of the old era went bankrupt, some of these enterprises were bought by the state, others were swallowed up by long-awaited conglomerates, and the streets that were once scarce were full of closed storefronts and notices of rent and sublease.

As for the number of tourists, it is even less, Qi Lin saw in the magazine that the streets of Hong Kong are full of tourists, but when he actually arrived here, he found that there were only pedestrians on the street, garbage and waste paper were all over the ground, and there were no cleaners in charge of cleaning, everyone was hurrying away, and many of them were carrying huge suitcases in their hands.

At each intersection, improvised barricades were made of sandbags and slabs, heavily armed soldiers replaced the traffic police and police who were supposed to be there, heavy armored vehicles were parked on the side of the road, and huge loudspeakers broadcast announcements and precautions over and over again.

Although the flames of war had not yet burned here, the air was already filled with the smell of gunsmoke.

……

The Nine Dragons in the water are not much different from the Nine Dragons in Qi Lin's memory...... After all, not long after he left Hong Kong, a nuclear war broke out, and then the news of the sinking of the Kowloon Peninsula came, and it was only a little more than a year before and after.

With his arms paddling through the water in front of him, his legs together and swinging like the tail fins of a fish, Qi Lin dived to a depth of thirty meters at an even speed, landing on the top of a building.

As soon as Qi Lin's feet touched the edge of the top floor of the building, a pure black mutated sea snake suddenly popped out of a cloud of algae, but before this sea snake could bite Qi Lin, the snake's head had already been cut off by the bone blade, and it was instantly ground into a pulp.

This water snake is just an ordinary mutant creature that is not even considered elite-level, and as for the water algae, there is no threat.
