Chapter 174: A Bizarre Explosion

The dull explosion tore through the silence, and the atmosphere that had been somewhat lax suddenly became tense.

The explosion occurred on the southern tip of the empire, on the planet Ilano, which was once the birthplace of the Augar Empire and was once the political center of the Augar Empire, which has witnessed several rises and falls. Due to the second expansion of the Auga Empire, it was squeezed to the edge of the empire's territory, and after the imperial capital was built, Illano was reduced to an ordinary administrative star and gradually faded out of the national vision.

Although it has lost its position as the political core, Illano has been glorious for a period of time after all, and it is an immortal monument to the indomitable spirit of the empire, and the roots of many large families remain in Illano, if the terrorists use this as a bargaining chip for negotiation, they can undoubtedly win considerable bargaining chips, and at the same time, Illano, as a first-line administrative star, is also one of the most densely populated planets in the Augar Empire.

Curiously, the explosion took place in a remote mountainous area, not a densely populated city, except for a few explorers who died, and did not have serious consequences, which is not like the style of terrorists.

An insignificant explosion would not normally attract attention, but in extraordinary times, any small stir in the wind and grass can have the effect of a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Scholars from the civilian sector and military professionals have formed a huge think tank, and all the information on terrorist attacks or suspected terrorist attacks in the empire is transmitted to the anti-terrorist team as quickly as possible, so that timely research and analysis can be made.

The explosion was classified as Cha 9, and because it occurred in a mountainous area, it did not cause devastating consequences, the local anti-terrorist forces have cordoned off the scene, and the soil and biological samples have been analyzed, no suspicious germs or radiation have been found, and no magnetic field resonance has been found in the explosion zone.

The director of the National Security Bureau was annoyed when he reported the information, damn high-tech, in the past, the end of the explosion would mean the end of the threat. At most, search for the remaining explosives, as well as survivors, investigate, and so on. But now, there are at least hundreds of possible threats, each of which is fatal, and fortunately, the data shows that there is little potential threat and there is basically no need to follow up.

"Obediently, the explosion of the ninth level of the Cha Clan, this time it is an eye-opener, and it is worth the trip." Andy made a frightened expression, and patted his chest with his fat hand in the depths, and the big man made this action, which was indescribably disgusting.

"What is the approximate level of the ninth level of the Cha Clan?" Chen Fang's strength is specialized in data, and because he is self-taught, it is inevitable that he is a little unheard.

"Strictly speaking, Cha Clan does not belong to the explosion index, but a destruction index, so to speak, an explosion of the same level is enough to raze sixteen imperial capitals to the ground." Andy munched on a snack he had gotten out of nowhere.

"It's so powerful, but judging from the casualties, it doesn't seem to be so terrible." Chen Fang was a little puzzled.

"This is a layman, the power of the explosion not only depends on the yield, but also related to the location of the explosion, the same equivalent of the explosion occurs on the surface, in the air, or deep underground, the damage caused is completely different, from the video taken by the satellite, the core of the explosion is at least two thousand meters below the ground, which is the reason why the casualties are very small, but I bet that the explosion is very serious damage to the planet, enough to cause a tearing effect on the earth's crust." It's a rare opportunity to show off, and Andy naturally won't keep it.

"The explosion affects the earth's crust." Chen Fang thought about it, this was a strange explosion, the terrorists sincerely wanted to give the Aojia Empire a little color, they would not control the casualty figures, and it was impossible for them to ask for trouble, digging a two-thousand-meter deep hole to plant bombs, their motives were puzzling.

In less than 10 minutes, General Rah and the NSA made a decision to stop the follow-up and handed it over to the local anti-terrorist forces for handling, on the grounds that there was no hidden threat and that the anti-terrorist force was limited, and that what should be eliminated should be eliminated. As is customary, all that remains is to investigate the security.

"Do the experts have different opinions?" The Führer did not directly adopt, as usual, but asked a think tank of civilian experts.

"Poison, what do you think?" There was no movement for a long time, Qiao Nan was embarrassed to find the poison, although he was not formally appointed, he took the initiative to provoke the identity of the middleman. Civilian experts are unorganized, undisciplined, free and loose, and their quality is uneven, and they can't get together with the military, Qiao Nan is a bridge between the two, and from the time of convening, the empire has acquiesced to this identity.

"I can't judge." Poison was expressionless.

"What does it mean to be injudatory?" The head of the national security bureau asked listlessly, apparently, he was not accustomed to the voice of a civilian expert.

"The fact that there is no way to judge means that your information is all nonsense, without any value at all, and I cannot judge based on this nonsense." The ability to rely on poison does not need anyone's approval in the first place, and he does not want to step into the threshold of formal experts, so naturally he does not need to give face to officials.

"What did you say?" Annoyed and angry, the director of national security took the case.

"Can't you hear me?" Poison sneered.

"Both of them are discouraged, this is the first time that the military and civilian academic organizations have cooperated, it is of extraordinary historical significance, of course, everything is difficult at the beginning, bumps and bumps are inevitable, everyone must have the spirit of sincere cooperation, treat each other more, that, this young lady is called poison, right? Can you elaborate on why there is no way to judge? Jiang Qing stopped it in time, as the head of state, he has long been accustomed to conflicts, just a few people who usually meet are still red-faced and red-eared, and now he has made a large number of civil experts, and it is strange not to spark a little spark.

"The data from Illano is not information, but identification. No radiation was found, no magnetic resonance was found, no suspicious viruses were found, what else could there be? These are judgmental conclusions, not data. In just one sentence, this is an application for decommissioning. If that's what the application says, what's the threat? Of course there are reasons to stop following up, I have nothing to say. "Although the poison doesn't have to worry about the country and the people, there is also a laboratory under her hand, not to the point of boredom, and she doesn't want to see anyone's face, if she hadn't thought about finding a data engineer to go back, she would have left the scene a long time ago.

"There is a real problem with Illano's report, and it is conclusive without any data and sampling submission. It is unrealistic for professionals to make analyses based on this report, which has no data, and even to make judgments is irresponsible. The Secretary of State stepped up in time.

"Secretary, I agree with you, but these are helpless things, the anti-terrorism agency is not a professional organization, it can only be based on the data of the virus database, if all possibilities are considered, it is not enough to recruit ten times as many personnel, and besides, we cannot ask them to send back all the data for us to analyze, we have limited manpower. What's more, listening to this young lady, except for her, everyone else is an amateur, and our data is naturally not credible, she wants samples. Illano is located at the southern tip of the empire, if the sample is sent over, it will take at least five days, after the sample comes back, she will have to study it, even if she moves quickly, at least two more days, this will take a week, will we make a decision after a week, although anti-terrorism needs the assistance of experts, efficiency is the key to victory, we must make countermeasures in the fastest time, low efficiency can not fight against terrorists. General Rahe was decisively on the side of the NSA.

"What everyone said makes sense, and it is all out of public interest, starting from the overall situation. Ladies and gentlemen, counter-terrorism operations have always been the most difficult and the most dangerous. The frenzied thugs, combined with the high IQ and high-tech armament, have left many governments helpless and ultimately compromised. But please don't forget that it is precisely because of these difficulties that the Empire has decided to make a bold attempt, and I hope that everyone can abandon their preconceptions and show the spirit of exploration and cooperation. "The Secretary of State's decision is indisputable, in fact, everyone understands that the think tank formed by experts on an improvised basis belongs to a new department, and it is inevitable that it will collide with established institutions such as the NSA, and how long the run-in process will take depends entirely on the mentality of the person.

"Magnetic field resonance and radiation can be judged more accurately through instrument testing, and it is difficult to say about the virus, unless there is sample analysis or observation during a period of isolation, no one can guarantee that there is no suspicious virus. Still, let Irano send in the samples and isolate the blast area before making an accurate analysis. Two minutes later, Qiao Nan made a compromise suggestion.

"The conditions for quarantine are that there is an outbreak, or there is a possibility of an outbreak. Even if the virus is found in a sample, it is important to determine how dangerous the virus is and how it spreads before making a decision on whether to quarantine or not. Now there are no clues, and you open your mouth and say that you want to quarantine, which can only cause panic among the residents. The NSA snorted, perhaps he was not an authoritative scholar, but he understood better than a scholar the effects of panic on people and how to respond to emergencies.

"How many dangerous viruses exist outside of our virus database, I mean viruses that have been discovered, but they are not included in our virus database." The Führer asked Poison bluntly, and in fact the question was equivalent to how many viruses could be used by terrorists that could not be found in the Federation's virus database. After all, poison belongs to folk scholars and can represent terrorists to a certain extent.

"Viruses that are lethal enough and have a high rate of transmission are at least two hundred or more." Poison replied without thinking.

The director of national security was deeply puzzled by this number, according to the information given by the intelligence agency, there are no less than thousands of deadly viruses in the hands of civilian people, but this answer is obviously in his favor, so he wisely remained silent.

Lu Lingxue was also very confused, she could even name more than a thousand high-risk viruses, could it be that the famous poison was not as good as herself.

"If there are only 200 viruses, it is unlikely that they will be used by terrorists." The Führer breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe I was negligent, in the field of pathology, when it comes to the types of viruses, they are all measured in 10,000 units, which is the most conservative estimate, excluding mutations of the same virus, if you add the branches of mutations, it is difficult to express them with exact numbers." The figures given by the poison made everyone jaw-dropping.

"Is it difficult for terrorists to get their hands on those viruses?" Jiang Qing exhaled and asked.

"Of course not all. However, if terrorists need a virus, they only need a data terminal, which can be bought everywhere on a virtual platform with a little time. Poison replied in the affirmative, this is by no means alarmist, but an indisputable fact, whether it is the director of national security or Lahe, they must admit this fact, and they have a headache for it, and even scolded their mother.

With the strong intervention of the Secretary of State, the microscopic videos of nearly 10,000 samples were transmitted back through data signals and projected on the display screen of the conference hall one by one.

Interlaced like a mountain, these images of the microcosm are enough to dazzle the layman, Chen Fang feels a burst of heartbeat, although he is free from the troubles of illness, the psychological shadow can not be eliminated casually.

"Let's try the dirt method." After a few minutes of hard work, the poison reluctantly gave up, the instruments used by the local anti-terrorism forces were all old-fashioned, or portable, the observation effect was already unsatisfactory, plus the interference of remote transmission, the image was blurry and difficult to distinguish, with these, it was impossible to confirm her speculation.

It's not that the Augar Empire lacks cutting-edge instruments, but it's all in the laboratory, such as a rat's nest. To identify the presence of a virus in a database, an instrument of this grade is more than sufficient. The Secretary of State said nothing, smiled apologetically, and then admonished General Rahe to cooperate fully with the poison's request.

Ten soldiers on duty in the warning area were summoned, poured five pounds of Flyer and three cloud tops, according to the explanation of the poison, and were caught on the treadmill and ran wildly.

Feile is a common carbonated drink, which is also sold in the imperial capital, and Yunding is a health care product that has a refreshing effect. Rahe couldn't figure out what was so magical about these two things, and as he waited, he asked, "Is there anything special about the ingredients at the top of the clouds?" ”

Poison said impatiently, "Nothing special. ”

Rahe was skeptical and continued to ask, "What about Feile?" ”

The director of the national security bureau also quietly pricked up his ears, these two things are very popular, if they contain special substances, or they cannot be used together, they must not be taken lightly, although he does not like the so-called civilian experts, he admits the ability and insight of poison.
