Chapter 493: Nuclear Explosion

Under the dim sky, the wind swept the waves and the torrential rain swept everything on the sea, and it was difficult for any ordinary civilian ship in such weather to maintain a state of balance.

The wreckage of the destroyed Emerson fishing boat is adrift in the waves, and it is difficult to see the edges and features of the past, leaving only some fragments of the wreckage that still tell the story of the former owners.

In this moment!

In the dim sky with visibility less than 100 meters, a point of light that was hundreds of millions of times brighter than the sun suddenly appeared out of thin air, and in a flash, the surrounding air suddenly shook, and layer after layer of air waves swept madly in all directions.

The dazzling ball of light expanded rapidly, and the icy rain and dim sky were suddenly pierced by the laser-like light, as if the real sun had fallen into the mortal world, and the blazing heat accompanied by terrifying radiation rays burst out, and any object in front of it was annihilated into ashes without exception.

Under the ravages of such a powerful and ferocious force, the more than a dozen Muto-A types in the center were immediately exposed to the sea surface and evaporated by the blazing high temperature, and they could not even resist for a second.

The dense small muto behind was not much better, the huge fireball was more than three hundred meters in diameter, the cruel blazing light and high temperature, as well as the tsunami that was set off, roared and ran, violently "tearing" all the unknown creatures.

Not to mention the muto, which is very close, disappeared without a trace, even if it is more than two kilometers away from muto, the high thermal radiation that is hundreds of millions of times stronger than the surface of the sun pierces their surface tissues in an instant, as if they were shot through by countless light arrows. Burn marks spread all over the body.

Muto who was swimming below, although his companions above resisted some of the damage, but the ensuing shock wave and boiling sea water still caused secondary damage, forcing Muto who was diving to die more than half in an instant.

This is the power of nuclear weapons, the most powerful weapons ever built by mankind. Even extraterrestrial beings from another world are too vulnerable to the huge energy that erupts from nuclear fission.

Five minutes after the explosion, the mushroom cloud gradually dissipated under the blowing of the torrential rain, and the sea water centered on the nuclear explosion still exceeded 50 degrees, and the rising white mist and vapor obscured most of the vision, but the immeasurable body of Muto could still be seen floating and wandering among the waves.

It can be seen that because ムト likes to entangle and stir together. The density is extremely high, and after the detonation of this nuclear bomb in the air, the killing power is several times greater than expected, and I am afraid that it will directly destroy hundreds of thousands of muto.

There are even more indirect injuries to the MUTO, including the large MUTO-A type that is far away, and the body after being burned by the high temperature is constantly rolling in the sea, stirring up a large splash of water, and it has not stopped. Basically lost aggressiveness.

……

……

The electromagnetic interference generated after a nuclear explosion is very strong, and drones cannot get too close.

But it doesn't matter. The electromagnetic pulse wave (NEMP) generated during a nuclear explosion can be detected at a great distance, and the explosive yield, the nature of the explosion, the height of the explosion center relative to the sea surface can be known, and so on.

Yes, as soon as the explosion occurred, the Third Fleet, which was 150 kilometers away, immediately detected the explosion.

"Sir, it worked."

"It seems to have worked...... I don't know what the outcome will be. ”

Freud was mentally silent for a long time, and the success of the explosion was a fluke. If it is discovered by MUTO-A from a distance of 20 kilometers and destroyed with a mass projectile, then the Tomahawk missile may really not be able to dodge.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and successfully broke out over the muto group!

But it was still too early to rejoice, and no one knew what the damage caused by the nuclear bomb would be the result. Can those mutos withstand high temperature radiation?

Freud didn't think that any living thing could withstand hundreds of millions of heat, not even steel battleships, but that was the center of a nuclear explosion, and if it was a little farther away, would it still do any harm to those unknown creatures?

All conclusions will have to wait for time to prove.

Fortunately, this did not take long to wait, although the nuclear explosion will cause unpredictable losses due to the increase in the impact area of the nuclear explosion electromagnetic pulse as the altitude increases.

However, this nuclear explosion was only 100 meters above sea level, and the impact range of the electromagnetic pulse was limited.

"Oh, it looks pretty good!"

It's been five minutes, and only scattered mutos can be seen on the sea after the nuclear explosion, and it is difficult to see the scene of those torrents rushing by, which is undoubtedly a point that makes many people happy.

“……”

While the crowd in the bridge cheered, Freud remained serious, his face heavy and showed no sign of relaxation.

The power of nuclear weapons is indeed terrifying, but what is launched is only a nuclear bomb with a yield of 100,000, and the power is terrifying and limited, and it is absolutely impossible to make the 70 or 80 million muto that has already gone to sea retreat.

There is absolutely something wrong with everything in front of you!

Sure enough, as if to confirm Freud's guess, in less than a minute, the cheers gradually subsided, and everyone gasped, watching the waves under the waves, dense black shadows quickly swam by, and in just a moment, the sea surface after the nuclear explosion was cleared surrounded again.

You must know that it has not been long since the nuclear explosion, and the radioactivity is still very strong, although the seawater is very fluid, but in a short period of time, this sea area is definitely an area with extremely excessive radiation levels. Even if human beings take anti-radiation agents and come here in radiation protective suits, they are risking their lives, and if they don't wear anything and don't guard against anything, their lives will disappear fast enough to make anyone feel hopeless.

But the dense muto rushed into the area of the nuclear explosion without hesitation, and continued to move in a straight line, as if he didn't care about his comrades who were killed and wounded at all, and he didn't care about his own life.

Freud didn't feel so strange, if this group of "beasts" did not have intelligence, it was not strange to rush into the radiation zone like this, but the grim situation in front of him still made people sigh.

It is undeniable that the effects of nuclear weapons are truly astonishing, and they can destroy such a huge MUTO at least instantaneously, which is unmatched by any other conventional weapon.

However, compared to more muto, a nuclear warhead with a yield of 100,000 can play a limited role...... It is necessary to divide the two sides into two sides and use nuclear weapons to completely destroy these monsters.

The bigwigs in the United States were still waiting for the results, and Floyd did not dare to delay and immediately reported the results to the Pentagon.

In the face of the effect of nuclear bombs, Dempsey, Barack and others were still relatively satisfied, but those present still maintained a cautious attitude towards whether to increase the tonnage and number of nuclear weapons attack.

Stretching for thousands of kilometers, a nuclear weapon with a yield of 100,000 can destroy a MUTO within a range of four or five kilometers, so the length of thousands of kilometers means that hundreds of tactical nuclear bombs are needed!

This level of nuclear warheads is completely different for the United States, which has an astonishing stockpile of nuclear weapons, but if it really does so, wouldn't it completely pollute thousands of kilometers of sea water?

If it is necessary to use nuclear weapons in Antarctica, the last unpolluted continent on the earth will be polluted, but no one can bear the sequelae caused by this, which is not much worse than the Muto landing.

According to the precise calculations of the Scientific Committee, if nuclear weapons are needed to completely wipe out the MUTO on the Antarctic continent, the Antarctic ice shelf will have a devastating impact, the melting ice water will continue to raise the sea level, many islands in the Pacific Ocean are very likely to be completely submerged, and the coastal cities of the United States and major powers will also suffer the disaster of submergence after the sea rises.

This is not the most terrible consequence, this change in Antarctica, the most terrifying thing is that it will change the climate of central Africa, southeast Asia, South America, and North America, leading to climate disasters such as reduced food production, which may lead to a chain of food crises, resulting in hundreds of millions of people dying of hunger in the next ten years.

This reaction is irreversible, and once the order is given to wash the ground with nuclear weapons, the impact of climate change and nuclear radiation fallout on the earth is so great that it is simply a typical example of damaging the enemy for 1,000 and injuring 800 of itself.
