Chapter 34: A Big Mushroom
Einstein had been a well-known scholar among the Zerg before he was elected to the council by Zagara, and the light-speed modernization of the Empire of Qila was inseparable from his many discoveries in the field of science. Since the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, this old man has devoted himself to scientific research without sleep or food, and has repeatedly broken through the existing technical bottlenecks of the Zerg.
By dismantling the worm core several times, he discovered the secret of the worm core's ability to increase mana - mana fission. Mana is composed of countless small magic factors, only the number of magic factors reaches a certain amount, it will cause a qualitative change, into a variety of magic skills to be cast, and the role of the worm core is to make the magic factor split, one into two, two into four, and so on infinitely, so that the magic cast out increases the power.
Einstein found that the use of holding the worm core in his mouth to achieve the purpose of magic amplification is simply a tyrannical thing, and its utilization rate of the worm core is not even 1%. He kept trying to purify the substance in the worm core that could cause the fission of the magic factor, and then named it Ritz. By collecting a large number of cracks, he finally touched the core technology of the nuclear bomb - rapid fission. It would have taken a long time for the Cracker to split the magic factor, but Einstein accelerated the process, and he made a magic factor crack into hundreds of millions in an instant, so the nuclear bomb, the giant killer of the Zerg, came into being.
10 points of mana can only ignite a small flame at the fingertips, but as long as it is paired with a certain amount of cracks, they are made into nuclear bombs, and after they are detonated, the fire will instantly engulf an area the size of a town, not counting the shock wave caused by fission.
Of course, these are just assumptions at the moment, and everything depends on the results of tomorrow's test launch. Earnstein lay on the bed, looked at the data for the last time, and turned off the lamp.
The Underworld is vast, and the largest continent is called the Underworld, which is Hades' hometown. Beyond the underworld is a vast sea called the Stygian Sea, and the sea is an endless black.
Darkness is the main theme of the underworld, and there is no light here all day long, and you can't really see your fingers. Therefore, the creatures of the underworld are all night vision animals, and the Zerg are no exception, and when the lights are turned off, even Zagara's eyes are shining, like night pearls. However, Ding Jiayi asked her to place the insect energy sun and insect energy moon on the underground dome, and turn them on and off alternately at regular intervals, saying that the people born in darkness should also look for light.
The Pora Continent is just a small island in the southeast corner of the Netherlands, separated by the Pora Strait. Today's nuclear bomb test launch was arranged in the Stygian Sea to the east of the Poluo Canglu, and Einstein's arrangement was based on two considerations: first, the detonation of a nuclear bomb on the Poluo Canglu, whether on the ground or underground, there is a danger of causing the ground to collapse, and once the collapse occurs, it is very likely that a chain reaction will occur, and finally the entire Qila Empire will be buried alive; second, in the underworld test launch, the devil knows if there are any Hades minions there, although many people have been sent to investigate in the past few years, and not a single bone creature has been found, but it is related to the safety of the nation and has to be guarded againstγ
Therefore, experimenting on the Stygian Sea became the only option. In fact, this is also a last resort, after all, the nuclear bomb was developed to destroy ground targets, but the Qila worm people have been bullied and feared for countless years, and the idea of sailing a 10,000-year-old ship with caution is understandable.
A warship made an attempt at Pearl Harbor β the port that was temporarily named for the test, because the power of the nuclear bomb came from the worm core, which in turn looked like a pearl, so Zagara named the port Pearl Harbor. The warship was also built temporarily for this test launch, and the Qila Empire did not develop a navy, firstly, the enemies were all in the underworld, and the Poro Strait was very narrow, so the navy was useless, and secondly, there were no powerful creatures in the Stygian Sea, even if there were behemoths such as the Great King of the Underworld and the Giant Shark of the Stygian Sea, there was no wisdom in existence, and it was impossible to go ashore to intrude the Zerg. Of course, this was before, and everything had changed since the Zerg had tested nuclear bombs in the Stygian Sea again and again.
The hull of the warship is made of obsidian iron unique to the underworld, this metal is strong, resistant to high temperatures, and light in weight, and many standard weapons in the Zerg army are made of this metal, such as the sword used by the centipede swordsman, if it were not for this lightweight material, just picking up dozens of swords would be an impossible task.
But as soon as the light hull entered the sea, the waterline remained high, because the nuclear bomb was heavy. The fission polymer purified by Ironstein is very large, very dense, and with various mana stabilizers and sophisticated storage devices, this nuclear bomb looks small, but the weight is very terrifying. Before the warship went to sea, Ding Jiayi was eager to carry this nuclear bomb onto the ship, and with his strength, he actually felt a little difficult.
At this time, he stood on the bow of the ship and gazed at the endless black styx, the sharp bow of the ship moving at a rapid speed, and the sea water rolled backwards on both sides of the bow, as if to divide his thoughts.
As long as they are human, they have ambitions, otherwise why does everyone have the dream of being an emperor? Ding Jiayi still remembers that when he was chatting with Lao Yan in the Fifth Palace, Lao Yan once said that men have four ultimate dreams: killing traitors, occupying the throne, choosing a good princess, and building a good tomb. Ding Jiayi felt that his statement was too cheesy, and it was better to summarize the literature and art: wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women.
Of course, when he thought of this at this moment, it was in line with his current status and situation, the speed of the development of the Qila Empire was changing almost every day, like turning on an accelerator, if he was given enough time, he was confident that he would build an invincible army. But then, the army was just to be watched? He somewhat understood why Brother Dan was keen to conquer the realms.
The warship sailed into the depths of the sea and came to a slow stop, and Einstein ran to the deck in a hurry, and ran to Ding Jia and B.
"Your Majesty, come to the observation room, we have arrived at the test site, the nuclear bomb will detonate in a while, and it may be dangerous to stand on the deck. β
Ding Jiayi really wanted to expose himself to the air and feel the power of the nuclear bomb, but the lethality of this weapon was still unknown, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
So he patted Einstein on the shoulder, "Okay, let's go down." β
The wall in the direction of the bow of the observation room was a large piece of brown glass, and the waves of the sea were rippling, washing the bottom of the glass one by one, and it seemed to know what was going to happen today, breaking the silence of the sea for countless years.
The ship's crew was busy making final preparations, calculating the safe detonation distance and checking the working status of various instruments. At this moment, everyone in the observation room could not calm down, but everyone remained surprisingly silent.
Ning Xiaoqian was not used to this kind of silence, "Gala, today's test is a milestone for the Zerg, once the nuclear bomb test is successful, it means that no one will dare to bully the Zerg again." β
Zagala looked excited, "Yes, sister, I never dreamed that there would be this day, in fact, there were many things I didn't dare to think about before I met the emperor. β
"Don't be nervous", Ding Jiayi touched her head dotingly, "It will definitely succeed." β
"It's definitely going to work, because you're a person who doesn't have much merit, but you've been lucky with shit. Tussaud didn't know if she was encouraging everyone, or she was sarcastic.
Knock knock, Einstean panted and ran down from the deck, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, everything is ready, just waiting for your instructions!"
"Okay!" Ding Jiayi waved his hand, "Start counting down!"
With that, he opened the glass cover on the console in front of him and pressed the red button inside.
An icy mechanical voice resounded throughout the warship: "All personnel, please pay attention, the nuclear bomb has entered the launch stage, the staff on the deck, please evacuate quickly, make safety preparations, and now start counting down, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, launch!"
The hull of the ship began to shake, the sound of the boom gradually sounded, and the nuclear bomb slowly left the launch compartment, accelerating continuously, dragging a long tail of fire, shooting into the sea like a fashion.
The nuclear bomb flew very fast, and disappeared in an instant, and then there was silence, a silence that lasted for several minutes, and the people in the observation room broke out in a cold sweat in this dead silence, and their hearts rose to their throats.
Suddenly, a white light lit up at the end of the horizon, instantly illuminating the entire sea, reflecting the black waters blazing white. The white light pierced through the brown glass of the observation room and pierced everyone's eyes, and everyone couldn't look directly at the light, and involuntarily raised their hands to cover their eyes. Only Ding Jiayi watched intently at everything that was happening in front of him, and he didn't want to miss any details.
Dozens of seconds passed, the white light gradually dimmed and turned fiery red, and everyone put down their hands to cover their eyes and looked into the distance in amazement.
A huge mushroom cloud rose from there, and the red pillar of fire in the middle rushed towards the sky, the top of which was surrounded by umbrella-like smoke, and rolled towards the sky with momentum.
Everyone was stunned for less than 1 second, and there was a wall of air in front of them that pushed towards the warship at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and the hull of the ship began to shake violently and retreated, many people did not stand firmly, and fell forward suddenly, and then it was difficult to stand up again, because the shaking was too violent.
Ironstein grabbed the handrail of the staircase connecting the observation room to the deck, tried his best to stabilize his body, took out his walkie-talkie, and shouted anxiously:
"Control room! Find a way to stabilize the hull!"
The control room got the order, and the drivers danced their hands and quickly entered the commands on the console to turn on the gravity stabilization system. The shaking of the ship gradually stabilized, but it still retreated at a breakneck speed.
The warship withdrew dozens of kilometers from its initial position, and finally slowly stopped, and the people who had just fallen to the ground in the violent impact got up one after another and looked again at the place where the nuclear bomb was detonated. The mushroom cloud was still there, but the pillar of fire had stopped its tendency to soar into the sky, and the billowing smoke was unwilling to disperse for a long time, showing off its destructive power to everyone.
It was thousands of kilometers away from the explosion site, but everyone looked at the big mushroom that seemed to be frozen on the surface of the sea, and still felt that it was sky-high.
Fierce cheers rang out on the boat, Al Hindan's hands trembled, old tears were in his eyes, Zagala couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and held Ding Jiayi's face and kissed it non-stop.
Ding Jiayi ignored her, he stared at the mushroom cloud in the distance, and slowly frowned, he felt that it was a bit like Brother Dan's face.
