Chapter 1322: Breaking the Light of Darkness
Pasha saw it more clearly.
The primordial carrier didn't rely on the eyes, and for her, Elblem, and Selene, any tentacle could be used as an eye, so she couldn't wear any shade.
Although Roland had cautioned that it was best to avoid looking directly at the blast for five to ten seconds after the detonation, it did not look away until the last second.
Not only her, but the other two.
No one wants to miss this long-awaited scene.
Can humans defeat the devil?
During the hundreds of years that the Tachira survivors hid underground, no one dared to ask this question. At that time, they gritted their teeth and insisted more for the sake of responsibility, for the sake of the sacrificial sisters, as for the final result, if you think about it a little, you will have a sense of resistance in your heart, for fear of destroying your unremitting efforts and will to fight. The pitch-black top of the cave that they see every day is the deepest feeling they remember.
And this darkness was broken by a brilliant blue light.
It wasn't pure blue, unlike paint, lacquer, gemstones, or lakes and the like, and Pasha was hard to describe β it was more so white that it had the illusion of a bluish tinge.
The light spread rapidly along the horizon and illuminated the earth in an instant!
She couldn't help but be dumbfounded!
It was the first time she had seen anything other than the sun and moon that could illuminate the whole earthβit was no illusion, and she could clearly see that the snowfield, which had been darkened, had returned to its original appearance of daylight, and the trees had cast heavy shadows on the snow, and the closer she got to the center of the white light, the clearer the outline of the earth became.
Almost at the same time, Pasha felt a sharp tingling sensation in front of her, and her skin seemed to be burning, which was the experience of being exposed to the midday sun.
However, she did not have the slightest fear in her heart, and even opened the tentacles of her body to meet this dark light.
If it can bring new hope to humanity, what is this pain?
It's just more fun!
The light lasted less than a second, then from blue to white, then from white to red, and then the ground shook violently, and the rushing air currents brought up flakes of snow that crashed against the outer walls of the bunker building with a crackling sound. Finally, there was a deafening roar, which lasted for so long that it was as if the whole earth was roaring.
After the explosion, the world fell silent again.
In the distance, a strange cloud appeared on the horizon, large and small, like a mushroom stretching upward. On the top of the mushroom, dark red flames can still be seen tumbling.
Lighting up the sky with your own power is definitely an effect that no firearm can match!
Fifteen kilometers away, you can still feel such power, what if you are close to it?
Pasha could already imagine the new weapon exploding in the midst of the devils.
She thought that the bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces was already the most shocking picture, but compared to this scene, it seemed a little insignificant.
If the artillery drill two years ago refreshed the worldview of every Takira witch, then this experiment can be said to have reshaped the ideas that have been formed in their minds with great difficulty.
"Whoopββββββββββββ!
Loud cheers erupted from both the command post and the observation room.
The main whiskers of the three high-ranking witches were also entwined.
"Is this really something we can make?" Rarely, for the first time, Elbin didn't use the names of mortal or ordinary people to distinguish between them.
"Of course! I'll be in charge of some of the shells. Selene's tone was full of excitement, "But to be honest, I didn't expect this thing to be what His Majesty saidβ"
"Why?"
"Ugh...... Because leaders always like to draw cakes to lure everyone forward, didn't Sanxi also inspire us at that time...... Wait, I'm not saying it's wrong, don't tell Roland!"
"Alright," Pasha interrupted, "what do you think the outcome of the Battle of the Divine Will will be now?"
"We can win, we can definitely win!" replied Selene without thinking.
"And maybe you won't have to wait until the next red moon. Elfin also expressed his agreement.
A year ago, the criterion for victory was to resist the devil's attack, hold on until the end of the battle of divine will, and then look for opportunities after four hundred years of development.
Before you know it, this bar has been raised a lot.
"Sure enough......" Pasha finally laughed, "we all thought of going together. γ
Humans can defeat the devil.
And perhaps even sooner than they expected.
Because that darkness no longer exists.
......
Of all the jubilant crowds, only Roland and Anna remained calm as usual.
"What happened?" Anna asked, taking off her sunglasses.
"At least the first step is to step over. Roland spread his hands and said, the principle device undoubtedly triggered a fission reaction, and that dazzling flash was proof of it, otherwise it would be impossible to set off such a big wave with the thousands of kilograms of explosives in the device alone. But judging from the subsequent shockwaves and plumes of smoke, it is clear that there is no small gap from the effect he expected - they should be more violent. "As for the specific results, we have to wait for the command post to collect all the data on the scene before we can make a judgment. β
Half an hour later, the test teams successively brought back the "detection device" set up around the site - floating paper. Since it was impossible to accurately determine the yield of explosives with the existing technical means of Neverwinter, Roland naturally thought of the method of "measuring the power with a piece of paper".
When the air wave blows here, the pieces of paper are tossed up by the wind, and under the influence of the blast wind, they fall farther than before, and the difference can be used to estimate the approximate equivalent of the explosion - Roland does not need to calculate it himself, he has copied a complete table of parameters from the dream world, just compare the results.
Although there is some error in this method, it is sufficient to guide the experiment.
The conclusion after comparison is not much different from what was expected.
The power of the explosion of the principle device was only about 3,000 tons of TNT equivalent, and the amount of uranium-235 put in was as much as 40 kilograms. If only 6% of the raw materials of the first atomic bomb "Little Boy" were involved in the fission reaction, and the explosive yield was 13,000 tons, then the utilization rate of nuclear materials in this test was less than 2%, which can be said to be a "dirty bomb".
Of course, it is impossible to say how disappointed Roland was. After all, there is no so-called strict standard for dirty bombs in the history of weapons, and compared with the small nuclear weapons that were often used in dozens of years, these old-timers who were put into actual combat were classified as dirty bombs. A 152-mm grenade with a charge of only a few kilograms can cause astonishing damage, let alone a 3,000-ton TNT.
Principle One wasn't much of a success for testing, but it was still a lethal weapon.
"It's going to be a long road," Anna let out a sigh of relief, but her eyes were not discouraged, but full of fighting spirit.
"That's right. Roland nodded.
He didn't expect to achieve his goal all at once, and the next thing was to find out why and keep improving until it could truly compete with the sun.
