Chapter 100: Underwater Nuclear Explosion

The reason why there is no nuclear attack in the movie is that governments have abandoned the Skua program, which is one of the biggest differences from now, and now PPDC still maintains cooperative relations with other countries.

In addition, if the mecha is near the gap, the electromagnetic shock wave generated by the explosion of the nuclear bomb will make most of the mecha scrapped on the spot, and the dangerous wanderer in the movie is an analog circuit, the only mecha that is not afraid of electromagnetic shock waves, of course, now it is necessary to add a steel fist mecha.

According to the design in the movie, the mecha itself is strong enough to resist the underwater nuclear impact, but it has to be killed without being killed by the electromagnetic pulse, and the 1.2 million ton equivalent thermonuclear bomb successfully killed a level 4 chrysanthemum beast, but did not kill the level 5 "poisonous woman".

And the current situation, the mecha has not yet gone to the battlefield, and the two chrysanthemum beasts have not dispersed, the most suitable way is to throw a nuclear bomb from afar, anyway, it is surrounded by the ocean, uninhabited, because of the close gap, the routes of various countries have also bypassed where, but there is no need to worry about the problem of radiation.

Since the first generation of mechas, the function of resisting nuclear radiation has been added, and after the explosion of the bomb, you only need to wait for the electromagnetic pulse to dissipate, and you can directly enter the battlefield, which will not affect the combat effectiveness at all, which is also a very important point.

These reasons add up, and it successfully persuaded the Pentagon to support a nuclear bomb for free, anyway, as one of the countries with the largest number of nuclear warheads in the world, such a nuclear warhead is nothing, and the thermonuclear bomb on the back of the Eureka Raider is still something that Russia was originally preparing to destroy, and the United States is naturally not to be outdone. It is bound to overpower Russia.

For a variety of reasons, the order was quickly approved, and an encrypted link was quickly launched to the PPDC. The coordinates of the location of the gap, as well as the information on the situation of the Kaiju beast detected by the PPDC, were all sent to the other party, and in the Pentagon, the technicians who had adjusted the parameters had authorized the right to attack an aircraft carrier in the Pacific waters.

The USS Independence, a name of special significance in the history of the U.S. Navy, was named after a Forrestal-class aircraft carrier in 1959. Built by the United States after World War II, there are four ships, and the USS Independence took part in the nuclear test on Bikini Island near the Marshall Islands in July 1946. One aerial nuclear explosion, one underwater nuclear explosion, after withstanding two nuclear strikes, the Independence did not sink on the spot, but after being decommissioned the following year. The highly radioactive hull was transported to Pearl Harbor and San Francisco for dismantling studies. It finally sank in 1951.

In the Marshall Islands, the U.S. military has conducted more than 60 nuclear tests, and because of its special significance, the name was used again many years after the sinking of the original aircraft carrier, and the current Independence itself is a Nimitz-class and is still responsible for patrolling the Pacific waters.

After receiving the attack order from the Pentagon, the Independence floating on the blue sea immediately got busy, and an F-18 Hornet carrying a B83 nuclear warhead was busy. Whirling up in the white water vapor coming out of the steam catapult, inserted into the blue sky.

Follow the location of the two chrysanthemum beasts. The nuclear bomb needs to be detonated at least 30 meters underwater in order to produce sufficient lethality, and the bomb is dropped by this F-18, long before the bomb is dropped, the location around the explosion point has been cleared for thousands of kilometers, and in fact there is nothing to be cleared, except for the combat troops, no one will approach this place where the chrysanthemum beast may appear at any time.

The Independence is about 200 kilometers away from here, and there is no need to worry about the problem of nuclear explosion, just in case, all the personnel working on the deck still changed into protective clothing to prevent infection due to the spread of nuclear contamination.

Fighter jets flew through the air.

In the Hong Kong base, Zhang Yang and the others stared at the situation on the screen in front of them, which clearly showed a small green dot rapidly approaching the gap, and two red dots of light representing the open chrysanthemum beast were still hovering around the gap, as if they were unaware of the impending attack.

"Treat them to a big firework." It was Chuck who spoke, although this guy has an arrogant personality, but he is at least the same enemy in the face of the chrysanthemum beast.

"Wait and see how it goes, pilots, pay attention, get ready to enter the mech."

Pantcoster glanced at everyone, Zhang Yang and the others immediately nodded, as the first wave of the attack after the nuclear bomb exploded, it was time for their mecha to appear.

A few minutes later, the F-18 Hornet arrived over the breached sea, and through the blue water below, two black shadows could be faintly seen.

"Reach the optimal drop speed, start dropping, and expect to explode in 20 seconds."

As the name suggests, this gray-green painted hornet quickly revealed its "tail pin", a white bomb painted with the logo of a nuclear weapon, about 3.7 meters long, which suddenly fell off after adjusting the angle and quickly sank into the water.

It took a while for the projectile to fall into the water and detonate, which gave the Hornet a chance to get in the car, and the Hornet immediately reached a rapid speed of Mach 1.9 and quickly left the area.

Run, run hard, this is a big guy with a yield of 1.2 million tons.

After the pilot dropped the bomb, he decisively spread his feet and ran away, not thinking about it for a moment, knowing that even if it was an underwater nuclear explosion, it would only suffer if it was too close, in fact, except for the Skua mecha researched by PPDC, there was really no human weapon that could resist the nuclear impact at close range.

Of course, the movie only shows the situation of the underwater nuclear explosion, and no one on land knows it, after all, if the chrysanthemum beast does not land, once it lands, it is a city in a selected densely populated area, and the loss of detonating a nuclear bomb in such a place is definitely not something that human beings can bear.

After the Skua mecha was created, humans have never attacked the Kaiju Beast with nuclear weapons, and this time if it wasn't for the right time and place, the Americans wouldn't use nuclear weapons casually.

Twenty seconds later, the F18, which left at maximum speed, was far out of the nuclear explosion area, and then the pilot glanced out of the porthole.

The sky was cloudless, it was a good sunny day, but there was no need to worry about the vision being affected, although it was hundreds of kilometers away, but the pilot still clearly saw the original blue sea, and suddenly a white inverted bowl appeared, which was water vapor.

One of the differences between an underwater nuclear explosion and a land nuclear explosion is that the thing that forms the mushroom cloud is water vapor rather than the wreckage of buildings, so it is white, and the deeper the depth, the shorter the mushroom cloud.

And the crowd in Hong Kong, the planes of the reconnaissance unit of the Tongguò PPDC Air Force clearly saw this scene.

A somewhat short mushroom cloud rose from the big bowl, and the white water vapor instantly enveloped the surrounding water surface, although there were no clouds in the sky, but the shape of several rings still faintly appeared around the mushroom cloud, which was due to the annular gas layer formed by the rapid compression of the nuclear explosion shock waveguide air.

"How's it going? Did you kill those two guys? ”

Chuck was the first to look away and look at the virtual screen next to him, the special equipment used by PPDC to remotely observe the gap was not affected by the nuclear explosion, and was still doing its best.

"Wait a minute, I'm collecting observations, and now there is too much interference, and it will take 1 minute to get accurate results."

Cai Tiantong's two hands snapped on the keyboard, the screen in front of him kept refreshing the code, and then a radar-style scan popped up, although everyone was anxious, they could only wait.

The planes of the reconnaissance unit responsible for collecting intelligence on the scene are mostly at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, using long-range cameras to capture the scene and then transmit it to the PPDC base.

Looking at the white "big bowl" that began to dissipate, these pilots were also a little shocked, although it was detonated underwater, but compared with watching from the video, watching the nuclear explosion live still has an unparalleled impact.

The ultimate weapon of mankind is really terrifying.

The first reaction of any human being who sees a nuclear explosion is probably fear and shock, and he will have an instinctive fear and aversion to nuclear weapons, and of course some militants are not excluded.

And under the sea, when the B83 nuclear bomb exploded, the huge fireball spread rapidly in the water, forming a fiery red ball, because it was close to the water surface, so it was revealed to form an inverted bowl, and below the fireball, it was enveloped by two level 4 chrysanthemum beasts.

Unlike the previous invasion of the first Kaiju beast in San Francisco, humans did not dare to use a nuclear warhead with a large yield in the city, but this time there was no such limit, and the 1.2 million ton yield nuclear warhead easily wiped out two level 4 Kaiju beasts.

Most of the corpses of the Kaiju Beast were vaporized as long as a long time, but still left a lot of remains, and along with the shock wave and the sea water that was forced away, it formed a hollow zone, as if a sea eye appeared in the sea water, surrounded by a blue wall of water, but the ground was exposed in the middle.

Within the scope of the explosion, some of the protrusions on the seabed were directly smoothed, and countless coral reefs and small peaks were flattened in an instant, and these things were simply vulnerable in front of the ultimate weapon of mankind.

There is a crack in the position of the gap, and the gap is hidden in it, because it was formed by the collision of two plates, so there are many large and small craters around the crack, and the fiery red magma flows out of it slowly, and then quickly cools and hardens under the seawater, gradually forming the current crater.
