Chapter 33: Kill them all
The ground-drilling thermobaric bomb hit the serpent hard and burrowed into its belly.
Then, with a loud bang, a mushroom-shaped flame erupted.
Thermobaric explosives have the characteristics of both high-explosive and fuel-air explosives, to be precise, a fuel-rich high-explosive.
Its explosion speed is generally 3~4 km/s, which is much lower than the explosion velocity of high explosives (typical value is 8 km/s); At the same time, a large amount of oxygen is absorbed from the surrounding air during the explosion process, creating an oxygen-deficient environment.
Crucially, the thermobaric explosives are filled with powders of aluminum, boron, silicon, titanium, magnesium, zirconium and other substances, and these powder beams ignite and release a large amount of energy in the heated state, which greatly enhances the thermal and pressure effects of the thermobaric explosives.
This kind of bomb is claimed to be a nuclear bomb in conventional weapons, a bomb within a bomb, once hit, there is almost no chance of survival, either blown up, or evaporated by high temperature and high pressure, even if it dodges these, it will eventually suffocate in an oxygen-deficient environment, which can be said to be the most vicious weapon.
The center of its explosion can reach a high temperature of about 2,500 degrees Celsius, and the firing radius of shrapnel can also reach several kilometers.
Although the ground-penetrating thermobaric bomb given by Qin Daniu is a small bomb, its power is still not to be underestimated. At the moment of the eruption, a powerful shock wave was generated, and even the steamer two kilometers away was pushed hard by this wind and wave, advancing several tens of meters.
Then there was a cavitation effect after the explosion, and a large amount of air movement formed a forward wind, and the ship was carried backwards by the wind.
A large amount of oxygen in the air was sucked away by the explosion, and the content decreased rapidly, even a strong person like Chen Qi felt a little difficult to breathe, and his lungs were very uncomfortable.
There was also the river water under the boat, and the river water in the rear was evaporated by the bomb in large quantities, and the river water was once cut off, and the river water poured away, and the ship also retreated several tens of meters with it.
The whole ship is like a lonely boat in the sea, caught in the wind and waves, moving forward or backward, and there is no room for resistance.
Fortunately, the river was still straight and wide enough, so that the ship was not pushed ashore, otherwise it would probably capsize.
After everything was calm, Chen Qi, who was wearing goggles, looked over there for the first time, and couldn't help but gasp, the place where the explosion in front of him had formed a large lake, and as for inside, all living things did not exist, and all carbon-based life was evaporated.
What else can resist in the heat of 2500 degrees Celsius? Such a high temperature is enough for everything to evaporate and vaporize.
You must know that the melting point of iron is only 1538 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point is 2750 degrees, which is still the state of standard atmospheric pressure, in the center of the explosion, how terrifying is the air pressure here? In other words, even if you throw a piece of iron to the center of the explosion, you have to vaporize.
This is the horror of thermobaric bombs.
Qin Da Niu also poked his head out from behind, looking at the situation in front of him, and there was a sound of gasping.
"You haven't let it go before?" Chen Qi looked at his reaction, and felt a little palpitating, this guy was afraid that he had never tried it before.
"If it weren't for these two big guys this time, I wouldn't be willing to let them out. We don't have a few in total. ”
"How many big guys do you still have, you don't even have mushroom bombs, do you?" Chen Qi's face was horrified.
"How is that possible?" Qin Daniu immediately denied it, "The nuclear bomb is the most strictly controlled thing by the federal government, how can it be left outside, this kind of ground-penetrating thermobaric bomb is already the limit." ”
"No wonder you still dare to run rampant in such an environment, it turns out that this thing gives you confidence." Chen Qi suddenly realized.
"The ammunition is consumed quickly, and do you think anyone would dare to put this kind of mass killing weapon? Once the timing and place are not right, it is an existence that even oneself has to be buried. ”
"It's a waste to kill a crocodile and a snake with such a big killing weapon." Chen Qi said with some regret.
"The weapon is just for use, don't you rust it in the warehouse?" Qin Daniu disagreed, "Of course, we won't let it go by the way, this time it's just to test its power." ”
"Then shall we continue to Lijiang City?"
"Of course, but before that, we have to find a way to find the seriously injured snake and find a way to kill it, Bai Mengjie needs a sample of it. How's that, do you have the courage to have a snake slaying battle with us? ”
"I just slaughtered a big snake and a bunch of giant crocodiles, and it's not good." Chen Qi rolled his eyes and said.
"I estimate that the Jiangxin Island in front of me is likely to be the lair of those two big snakes, and there may be some guys in it, for the sake of safety, we will use anti-materiel rifles later, and destroy some first."
"How many good things do you have?" Chen Qi imagined the gap between everyone, and almost wanted to cry, when he was still playing with iron arrows and wooden arrows, everyone already had a steamer, and a ship of munitions, and even played with hellfire missiles, thermobaric bombs, and anti-materiel rifles.
"What is this?" Qin Daniu said disapprehantly, "Compared to the weaponry of those large quarantine areas, we are simply small bandits in the countryside, and they can destroy everything in the entire range with a single missile." ”
Chen Qi didn't want to talk to him anymore, if he didn't have this kind of family background, how could the quarantine area resist the army of mutant creatures?
The two returned to the ship, and after Qin Daniu's order, the steamer turned its bow again and headed towards Jiangxin Island again.
The island is also quite large, several kilometers long.
"I have found the location of the big snake, it is hiding in an abandoned factory building, and there are many smaller snakes in it." Radar scouts reported.
"First use an incendiary bomb to blast the snake out, and then use Barrett to kill it." Qin Daniu quickly formulated a new combat plan.
In this operation, in addition to Qin Daniu and Chen Qi, there were also several fighters, who were carrying RPGs, and Chen Qi and Qin Daniu were carrying Barrett sniper rifles and aimed at the abandoned factory on Jiangxin Island.
