After the two new elemental bombs exploded in the air, they released an extraordinarily violent flash.

At the same time, the shock wave carried out a strong wind from far and near.

and a huge mushroom cloud slowly rising into the sky.

The monarchs and important ministers of the Ottomans, Austria, and France have all seen all kinds of mushroom clouds.

It is known that this mushroom cloud was caused by a massive explosion.

But they had never seen anything so huge.

It was as if it was a huge fist that pierced the sky directly from the ground, and a huge arm was propped up directly between the sky and the earth.

If it weren't for the images, sounds, and bodily sensations that were real, they would even think they were dreaming.

I don't know how long it took, but their spirits slowly recovered their basic sanity from the shock, and then they all instinctively looked at the people around them.

The soldiers and craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty who unleashed this weapon.

The craftsman in charge of this operation also introduced them very dutifully in accordance with the requirements and instructions given by the Military Aircraft Department.

"This is the latest bomb that Daming put into service only two years ago.

"At present, it is possible to use less than a ton of warhead weight to release the energy equivalent of 100,000 tons of conventional explosives.

"The two bombs dropped in this test are equivalent to 50,000 tons of conventional explosives.

"That's why we can see such a spectacular sight."

The monarchs and representatives of the three countries were all taken aback by this one-to-100,000 equivalent ratio and its huge practical effect.

Everyone's eyes widened, and it was intellectually difficult to accept this fact.

However, the two bombs just now were released in front of their eyes, and they watched them explode.

The huge mushroom cloud from the unforgettable explosion just now still remained between heaven and earth not far away, showing that what they said was true.

Archduke Karl of Austria, still a little stunned, muttered:

"This one is equivalent to tens of thousands of tons of explosives, in fact, one is enough to directly destroy a medium-sized city, and one is enough to turn a large fortress into ashes?

"If it is used to directly kill and injure the urban population, wouldn't it be directly counted in units of 10,000 or even 100,000?"

The thinking of the French general Davout is in another aspect:

"The key is that they can use this unmanned small aircraft to directly deliver it dozens of kilometers away......

"If Da Ming has a lot of these weapons, he won't need to directly engage the enemy in the future.

"If you launch it from a distance of several tens of kilometers, you can directly wipe out the enemy's legions."

The craftsmen of Daming are very proud to add:

"Now missiles with a range of several tens of kilometers are used, just to make it easier for you to see the explosion effect directly on the spot.

"The maximum range of our strategic missiles has actually reached thousands of kilometers.

"Missiles that do not require a driver and this new type of bomb constitute the most powerful strategic weapon in the world today.

"In the future, our fighters really don't need to go to the battlefield to engage the enemy in close combat, or even to the battlefield.

"In the bases in the rear of our battlefield, directly launching hundreds or even thousands of these strategic missiles can directly wipe out the enemy country from the earth."

Louis XVII thought again of the words of his best friend, and then asked more tentatively:

"Thousands? Now Daming has thousands of these weapons? ”

The craftsman replied as a matter of course:

"According to the will of His Majesty, in order to avoid waste due to excessive production, we have now controlled the production at 120 pieces per month."

At this moment, the group of people around shouted directly:

"One hundred and twenty per month!"

"Isn't that 1,440 a year!"

"It's crazy that a weapon of such power can reach this scale in terms of quantity......

"If there were tens of thousands of these weapons, wouldn't they be able to destroy the whole world!"

The officials of the Ming Dynasty who accompanied them, after their consternation had subsided a little, opened their mouths to warn and remind them:

"We are the Heavenly Empire, and we have the obligation to educate and save the people of the world.

"However, if you Xiyi are really stubborn, then Da Ming will not hesitate to punish him.

"But don't worry, your country is gone anyway.

"You have not violated the warnings and rules of the Ming Dynasty.

"You shouldn't have a chance to taste these new bombs directly in the future."

This understatement made a group of high-level executives of the Taixi Dead Kingdom completely silent.

The fear of the threat of this weapon, because of the grief of losing one's homeland, coupled with the chill of being directly singled out for ridicule.

All kinds of negative emotions mixed together, making their bodies and mouths completely stiff, and they couldn't make a sound for a long time.

By the end of the evening, when they returned to the makeshift camp, many of them still seemed to have lost their souls.

Two days later, they took the train again and headed to the coastal ports of the Tiannan Continent, where they changed ships to the final destination of the Ming Dynasty.

The French crossed the Ocean eastward and headed for Canada through the Panama Canal.

The Austrians and Ottomans crossed the Lesser Ocean westward, bypassing the southern part of the continent to their colonies in the continent.

Shortly after the delegations of the three kingdoms left the Tiannan Continent, on the 30th day of the fifth month of the third year of the Grand Duke.

The manufacturers of the new element test site in the Tiannan Continent have once again gathered a large number of relevant engineering and military personnel.

An important experiment is to be carried out here - the principle experiment of the fusion bomb.

Similar to the historical "Hurricane No. 1".

In order to confirm that the design of the bomb itself is correct, see if what comes out of this way can detonate properly.

After more than two years of continuous optimization, the weight of Daming's current smallest atomic bomb has been able to press to the level of 700 kilograms.

Even if it is an atomic bomb with a yield of 100,000 tons, the weight can still be suppressed within one ton.

The design of Daming's hydrogen bomb itself is a mature route, and the total weight of the experimental bomb is only a little more than a ton.

The degree of miniaturization has surpassed Zhu Jingyuan's first official hydrogen bomb in his previous life.

It reached the level of the sixties of the United States in the previous life.

Because the current industrial base and technological level of the Ming Dynasty have surpassed Zhu Jingyuan's previous life in his country in the sixties.

However, since this fusion bomb is an experimental bomb, the main task is to verify the theory.

Therefore, the body is strapped with all kinds of facilities that have nothing to do with actual combat, mainly all kinds of detection and recording and transmission equipment.

Make sure that in the period before it exploded, it was able to transmit all sorts of information back to the rear.

In the end, the entire experimental setup weighed two tons.

According to the experimental plan, it will be delivered by the newest four-engine medium jet bomber.

On the morning of June 1, all preparations for the experiment were in place.

The relevant personnel called the Ming Emperor for instructions, and officially launched the experiment after obtaining permission.

The bomber, which was responsible for throwing the experimental device, took off from the airfield with the test bomb, flew in a straight line over the predetermined test site, and then turned around and flew back.

On the way back, adjust the altitude and speed, prepare the throwing procedures, and drop the bomb at the predetermined target point.

Recorded by the cameras in the bomber's cargo hold, the experimental device quickly opened its parachute after it fell, and slowly fell to the ground like a dandelion.

The personnel on board the aircraft continued to observe the footage from the cameras on the explosive device and the data transmitted by various sensors through a special display screen.

According to the signal feedback on the explosive device, the device automatically triggered the detonation device when it reached a predetermined altitude of 1,500 meters above the ground.

After a few breaths, an unusually bright ball of light quickly filled the entire sky.

Compared to the pure atomic bomb that had been tested many times before, the light and heat effect produced by this explosion was clearly increased by an order of magnitude.

The various information feeds on the explosive device also quickly lost contact at this moment.

They had apparently been completely vaporized by the bomb.

From the time the detonation signal is issued, to the complete interruption of the signal, although it is only a moment in the senses.

But in fact there are several stages from detonation signal triggering, chemical explosive explosion, nuclear fission triggering, fusion triggering, etc.

The structures that can be destroyed in these phases are also different, and the signals that can be fed back are also different.

All this information is recorded directly in the computer.

For subsequent analysis and study.

More staff on site, at this time, are more concerned and concerned about the sensor readings around the test site.

Waiting to use these readings to directly calculate the relatively accurate yield of this explosion.

Whether the fusion is really triggered or not, after the internal signal is parsed and the site is explored after the explosion, the most direct way to verify it is to look at the equivalent.

The nuclear atomic bomb of the explosive device used for experiments, the theoretical yield of which exploded on its own was less than 10,000 tons.

If the final explosive yield of the entire experimental device can be increased by dozens of times compared with the basic atomic bomb, and the test device itself has a fusion-stage design, then there is a high probability that a fusion reaction has occurred.

At the scene, when the huge mushroom cloud reappeared between heaven and earth, the preliminary assessment results of the relevant craftsmen for the equivalent had already come out.

Because the shock wave, which is the main reference standard, is much faster than the mushroom cloud that takes off into the air.

The energy was released almost instantaneously.

"According to preliminary calculations, the explosive yield should be no less than 500,000 tons!"

As soon as the news was announced at the test site, enthusiastic cheers erupted in the surroundings.

By the time the aftermath of the explosion had largely subsided, more sensor messages had converged and more accurate numbers had been calculated.

The explosive yield of this experimental device was 650,000 tons.

While sorting out and organizing the information, the craftsmen at the scene immediately sent the news directly to the emperor's office in Ying Tianfu.

After Zhu Jingyuan got this simple report, he breathed a sigh of relief with joy on his face:

"Good! Immediately start preparing for the production and test explosion of the full-fledged bomb! ”

Zhu Jingyuan gave the order, and the relevant personnel immediately began to act.

More than five months have passed in a blink of an eye.

On November 5 of the third year of the Grand Duke, the official fusion bomb experiment was carried out at the same test site.

The official model of the fusion bomb, codenamed "poached egg", still weighs just over a ton of bomb itself.

With the addition of various sensors and signal transmitters, the total weight is just over two tons.

However, there is a clear difference in the structure of the projectile body between this "poached egg" and the previous verification test bomb.

The previous verification test bomb was a "two-phase bomb", or a clean hydrogen bomb.

Through the fission reaction of the primary atomic bomb, the fusion reaction of the secondary thermonuclear charge is initiated, and the main energy source is the secondary thermonuclear charge.

The poached egg is now a three-phase bomb.

On the basis of the inner and outer layers of the test bomb, another layer of uranium-238 was coated on the shell.

Uranium-238 itself is difficult to produce a fission reaction.

However, the fusion reaction at the time of the hydrogen bomb explosion produces a large number of high-energy neutrons, which can stimulate the fission reaction of uranium-238.

Therefore, inside the shell of the hydrogen bomb, a layer of uranium-238 will be coated, which will trigger a new round of fission reaction, which in turn can release more energy.

This energy can even exceed the energy emitted by the secondary fusion reaction.

In other words, more than half of the total energy released by this "three-phase bomb" may come from fission reactions.

In this way, the whole bomb has three layers: inner, middle and outer, and it will undergo changes at the atomic level, releasing a large amount of energy in three parts.

That's why this kind of bomb is called a three-phase bomb.

In Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, most of the hydrogen bombs were actually three-phase bombs.

The world's first hydrogen bomb was also a three-phase bomb.

Prior to the discovery of lithium deuteride-6, a solid-state secondary charge, early giant hydrogen bombs made by the United States directly using liquid deuterium tritium as a thermonuclear charge would use a uranium-238 coating on the shell to increase the explosive yield.

The two-phase hydrogen bomb without the uranium-238 reflective coating was specially studied after the hydrogen bomb technology had matured.

The aim was to pursue a "clean" hydrogen bomb.

Because the uranium-238 coating on the outer shell is not completely reactive, these nuclear charge residues are the largest source of contamination in a nuclear explosion.

However, after actual experiments, it was found that if uranium-238 coating was not used, the explosive yield of the hydrogen bomb of the same weight could be directly reduced by more than half.

This level of energy loss directly led to the fact that the "clean" hydrogen bomb was not produced on a large scale.

Three-phase bombs have always been the absolute mainstream of strategic nuclear weapons of all countries.

Hydrogen bombs have already been used in combat, and the problem of nuclear contamination actually does not need to be considered.

However, Zhu Jingyuan's first theoretically verified hydrogen bomb in his previous life showed that it only had a yield of 300,000 tons.

It is likely that this is because the uranium-238 coating is not used.

The first verification hydrogen bomb before the Ming Dynasty did not use a uranium-238 coating, so it only had a yield of 650,000 tons.

In the early days, the technology of the hydrogen bomb was immature, and it was easier to make the yield larger, but it was difficult to make it smaller.

Daming's first official hydrogen bomb was carefully installed by workers on the bomber responsible for dropping the bomb.

After the commander-in-chief of the experiment again directly asked the Ming Emperor for instructions, he ordered the bomber pilots to begin the official experimental mission.

The process of the experiment was the same as the previous proof-of-principle test, flying to the target area, turning back and dropping the bomb.

The poached egg fell downward with a white umbrella flower and was successfully detonated at a height of two thousand meters above the ground.

A much bigger ...... It should be said that it is the first time in history that a huge ball of bright light appeared in the sky.

This was followed by a terrifying shock wave visible to the naked eye.

The craftsmen in the command center in the distance looked at the shock wave pressure data transmitted back from the sensors in front of them, and quickly calculated an approximate data in their minds.

"There should be five million tons of ......"

All the craftsmen and soldiers who paid attention to this data were obviously distracted for a moment when they heard this temporary explanation.

The new superbomb experiment was really successful.

It would have been very difficult to achieve more than 100,000 tons of atomic bombs, and now the new bombs are starting from the multi-million ton scale.

The point is, most of the people on the scene understand that five million tons is just the beginning.

Such bombs theoretically have no upper limit on yield.

If you don't care about cost and weight, it's not impossible to get 100 million tons of equivalent.

Compared with conventional bombs, the proportion of the increase in the power of the atomic bomb can be said to be very exaggerated, so exaggerated that people who do not understand the principle cannot imagine it.

Now the power of the new bomb has increased by two or three orders of magnitude again.

If we say that an atomic bomb destroys a city, there is still a bit of exaggeration in the face of a large city.

Then the statement that this new weapon destroys the city is an objective description.
