Chapter 236: The Bell

A day later, inside the secret experimental base located north of Falkenridge, near the border with the Duchy of Sefi, an officer of Falkenridge walked up to Weiss, stood up and saluted, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, everything necessary for the experiment has been prepared, and the members of the Helio-Optics Society have arrived. The detonation experiment of the 'bell' can be started at any time......"

As he spoke, he pointed to the dozens of magic energy generators around him, and introduced to Weiss: "This place is about ten kilometers away from the center of the explosion, and the entire defensive enchantment is enough by thirty magic energy generators, which can resist several direct hits of a legendary peak powerhouse!

After hearing this, Weiss nodded and couldn't wait to give the order to start the experiment: "Okay! Now, I announce that the detonation experiment of the 'Bell' can officially begin!"

“5!”

With Weiss's order, the officer in the command room gave the order to start the experiment in a loud voice, and the countdown was carried out immediately, and the military scholar in the white coat who was responsible for the detonation oozed sweat from his forehead, staring solemnly at the red button under his hand.

“4!”

Counting down one after another, the instruments that recorded the vibrations and dozens of camera crystals were aimed at all corners of the room. No one wants to let go of this experiment, which is said to be enough to change the history of the war, and every detail must be recorded in detail so that it can be carefully studied and used in the future.

“3!”

The officer who sang loudly and counted down held his pocket watch and sang the most solemn voice he could shout. He knew that with his voice, the superweapon that would allow His Majesty to come and see the experiment in person was about to meet everyone. So he was nervous, excited and even a little trembling.

“2!”

Weitz, Taukaba, Sefi, Kore, and even representatives and nobles from the Vola Empire and other countries who had teleported their magic could hear the anxiously awaited countdown, and they watched the detonation field several kilometers away in the fortifications that had been blessed with various protective barriers.

They didn't know why His Majesty Falkenridge had gone to great lengths to summon them all here, all they knew was that the superweapon, codenamed Bell, would unravel its mystery in a second.

“1!”

The term atomic weapon may not be a rare term in the Hidden Age, but at the beginning of the current Glorious Era, it is indeed a slightly unfamiliar name. Nuclear weapons, the sword that once hung over the heads of the whole world, with the efforts of Iroh and others, finally broke through the blockade of the metal dragon clan and came to this world again.

"Detonate!"

With a hysterical yell, the scholar who received the order finally pressed the button that had been pressed in his palm. Then, after only about half a second, a scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes that they would never forget.

The first thing that came was the super light radiation, which was the fastest light to spread, and the strong light produced when the nuclear bomb exploded immediately made everyone with colored glasses squint their eyes. It's like in another world, when a journalist who saw the atomic bomb recorded his own experience, he said, "It's brighter than 10,000 suns!"

Within the absolute radius of destruction, objects directly destroyed by light radiation will instantly vaporize and evaporate, and if left unprotected, those who watch directly from a dangerous distance will immediately be blinded. This devastating power would be over in just a moment, and then all the catastrophes had just begun.

This was followed by a shock wave that even exceeded the speed of sound. Makeshift structures used for experiments in the vicinity are "blown into powder", scrapped combat vehicles placed near the explosion site are overturned, and rocks buried deep in the yellow sand are uprooted by tremendous force.

The first two instantaneous effects are the most shocking, but they are not all the power of the atomic bomb, and the most terrifying thing is the large-scale nuclear radiation formed after the explosion, which is not as immediate as the previous two, but it is really a long-lasting and terrifying delayed killing.

Victims of radiation will suffer even more, develop various illnesses and mutations, and will not find peace until they die a tragic death. The radiation near the explosion point will contaminate everything, leaving the people nearby to suffer and the offspring will not even be able to reproduce, and eventually go to the abyss of extinction.

For the first time in the history of the Glorious Age, it has a power comparable to that of nature, and destroying the world is no longer just a good wish, after accumulation and development, the people of the future may even destroy themselves, which can indeed be regarded as one of the most dangerous and charming gifts left by Iroh and others to future generations.

"Oh my God!"

Seeing this explosion, Taukaba's envoy suddenly fell from his seat to the ground. He had imagined in his heart that when Falkenridge and Stacy were both defeated, Taukaba might still have a chance to reap the benefits and take the opportunity to become one of the nine kingdoms and achieve his dream of becoming a powerful country.

But the mushroom cloud raised by the explosion in front of him shattered the last illusion in his heart. Even if the god of war is born and Taukaba completely recovers his national strength, it is impossible to defeat such a terrible enemy - if such a bomb is placed in the capital of Taukaba, what is the meaning of victory?

“......”

An officer who was a diehard member of the Duchy of Wetz sat in the corner, his face pale looking through the layers of defensive barriers, looking at the huge mushroom-shaped black cloud in the distance. He didn't know what his compatriots would use in the future to defeat such a powerful force of the Falkenridges.

In his opinion, the civilization of this world has come to an end, because force is once again superior to all civilizations, and like the legendary demons, the Falkenridge can conquer all their enemies with savagery. War has become an uncontrollable flood of beasts, because those who wage war are already invincible.

The emissary of the Principality of Sefi had a richer expression than the previous two. Although he never thought of rebelling against the growing power of Falkenridge, he always believed that Falkenridge's strength was only a flash in the pan, and that the Duchy of Sefi and the Duchy of Kore could continue to remain neutral and then benefit from both sides.

But now, he found that his country no longer seemed to be able to do such a flattering thing—neither Sefi nor Corey could utter a word under the threat of such a weapon, and Falkenridge would not have the heart to resist if he had seen it once he had seen it.

And the envoy of the Vola Empire is also uncalm in his heart. Although the Walla Empire prides itself on its military prowess and has recently secretly completed the formation of a mecha legion, he believes that there is no mecha that can directly resist the power of the atomic bomb.

Even the full force of the legendary peak powerhouse would probably not be able to cause such a terrifying explosion......

And you must know that the powerhouse at the peak of the legend is not a cabbage, even in the Walla Empire, which advocates the most force, there are only three powerhouses of this level. The time and resources spent cultivating them are definitely beyond the consumption of making such a bomb.

Time is back in the present, on the eve of the bombing of Dean City.

"Transporting an atomic bomb over Stasi's capital is a risky thing to do, but it's much more of a dream to take out four airfields at the same time and make sure they don't go undetected by our people......"

An air force officer said to Niner, who was directly in charge of the bombing operation: "Not to mention that we still have a lot of security measures, including the seconded Wangdu Special Security Force, there are a total of three lines of defense......

For this secret operation, Falkenridge even used a new type of armored transport locomotive to transport an atomic bomb in several routes.

According to researchers from the Helio-Optical Society, this atomic bomb adopts an implosion-like structure, and the explosion is more complete and more powerful. The atomic bomb would be dropped on Stasi using the latest Heavy Hellfire Cavalry, and the target was Stein, the largest and most important city in Stasi, Dean.

Of course, there have also been proposals to attack Stasi's industrial heart, Cyrobart. However, Vis decisively refused, because there were high-ranking spies in Falkenridge there, who could ensure that Falkenridge would be provided with maximum industrial support after Stasi's surrender.

And one of the most important reasons is that Stasi is now considered a frontline city in the war, and it is a very suitable geographical location for attack. In this geographical location, before going deep into the rear of Stasi, you can drop atomic bombs to attack, and you don't have to worry about anti-aircraft fire arranged in the rear.

As for the interception of the Stasi Aircraft, it was not in the scope of Falkenridge's consideration - because in the entire southeastern area of Stasi, there were no high-level high-altitude interceptor aircraft found in Stasi, and anything that could stop the Hellfire Troopers almost did not exist.

The cluster bombing some time ago has also proven this.

However, after all, the atomic bomb is the final trump card, and there is no room for failure, so Niner still did some insurance work.

The Hellfire Cavalry of Falkenridge, which took off from the border area of Taukaba, only had to fly a distance of about 500 kilometers at high altitude to reach the vicinity of Dean City.

At this distance, even the most equipped Windrangers of the Falkenridge Air Force could escort the enemy, so most of the Falkenridge Air Force immediately became busy, and in order to cover this important weapon, Niner ordered them to take off at least thirty fighters for escort operations.

At the same time, in order to ensure the foolproof bombing of this time, the Hellfire Cavalry unit decided to take off twenty ordinary Hellfire Cavalry at the same time to cover the Hellfire Cavalry that actually carried the atomic bomb.

The bell of the new era is about to ring!
