Because the mushroom cloud was still cooling down rapidly, the originally slender "stipe" began to expand rapidly and become thick, and the air mass mixed with a huge amount of dust on the surface continued to churn and surge, revealing the bright light of the hot core white from the crack like semi-flowing magma after an eruption.

The clouds reached only half the height of the mushroom cloud's stalk, and it held up the fiery red sky, and the sun was nothing more than an unobtrusive ornament in the background.

The sky is fiery red, and the ocean is completely reflected in the sky, and the whole world is filled with fiery red mixed with black, as if you have come to another world.

Musk's eyes were temporarily blinded by the bright light at the moment of the explosion - or it may have taken up his entire field of vision, in short, his eyes were only white for 10 seconds.

When he regained his vision, there was only a super mushroom in front of him, which seemed to be close to him, and by this time, its color had begun to dim due to its expansion to the limit, and its appearance had become mainly black and red.

He had sunglasses on his chest, and all the tourists who bought the package were given sunglasses in advance and told them what to do, but just now everyone's attention was attracted by the meteor, and only a few were prepared.

Although it will not cause much harm to the naked eye at this distance, Musk still feels that his brain is starting to dizzy, and it is useless to lower his head and close his eyes, and everything seems to be separated by a translucent light curtain.

He looked at the two blurred sons, and then saw Tom also shaking his head, noticing what he was looking at.

It took 73 seconds for the sound waves to arrive, and in addition to the oncoming air current, it was accompanied by the howling of the wind passing through the gaps in the windows, a deep and powerful sound that gave goosebumps all over the body as it passed past the ears.

The only thing Musk thinks can compare to is standing within 1,000 meters of a rocket launch pad, perhaps because of similar experience, he is quite skilled in the first round of shockwave spread.

There was also a subtle but dense vibration from the deck beneath his feet, a shock wave that traveled along the ground.

The sound at this distance is insignificant compared to the explosion, and if you can hear a very violent sound, then the probability of survival is not too high.

He pulled a Geiger counter out of the tool bag at his feet, and heard a "gurgling" sound and a beating pointer.

It's okay, slightly higher than the standard safety value for radiation practitioners, but basically harmless.

The 340,000-ton yield nuclear warhead has been weakened too much by the underground explosion, and the power released from the surface and the mushroom cloud may be less than 100,000 yield.

By this time, his eyesight had recovered a bit, and he could clearly see the saxophone who was rubbing his eyes vigorously.

"Dad, I'm blind, I can't see anything."

"No baby, you close your eyes for 10 seconds and then open them, and we're together, and you're Hilde, we're together."

Sachs obediently closed his eyes and silently counted ten counts and opened them again, and then continued to hear Musk's voice:

"Sachs, did you see that?"

"I saw the decks, I saw myself, but they were all miserable white, and the sky around me was so dark, but I couldn't see my own shadow."

"Then let's close our eyes for another 30 seconds."

Mentally counting to 30 again, Sachs finally saw the brown deck and the reflection of the chrome armrests, and the ocean-colored jeans.

Sachs, who had regained his sight, immediately re-faced the direction of the mushroom cloud, which no longer shone brightly, because the mixed dust and spread were very dirty grayish-white, and the lower part was covered with white water vapor that stretched for several kilometers, which were all evaporated by the high temperature.

Even at a distance of 25 kilometers, the mushroom cloud at an altitude of more than 20 kilometers still clearly showed all the details in front of them, like a monster rushing out of Haiti and straight into space.

There was a constant "click" sound next to them, and it was Uncle Tom who was recording footage with a film camera.

As professionals, they will not forget the electromagnetic pulse destruction of the hydrogen bomb, which can reach thousands of kilometers, and although the impact of the first ground-penetrating bomb is much smaller, it will certainly not be escaped so close.

Musk also reacted and pressed the bracelet, but as expected, there was no response.

He set his eyes on the extremely spectacular mushroom cloud, and at this moment he truly had a complete understanding of the ultimate weapon of mankind, and understood that the destruction of the hydrogen bomb was not just a thin line of words.

The rocket that launched it weighed even a fraction of the weight of the Falcon 9, but it had the ability to wipe out a city.

He imagined such a mushroom cloud rising in Houston and immediately shuddered.

Don't have a nuclear war, definitely don't.

……

Unlike Musk, who was slow to react, Yuanwang 7 has been constantly informing personnel to take precautions on the radio, so Lin Ju wore full protective sunglasses when it exploded.

In addition to the fact that the field of vision at the time of the explosion was also occupied by white light, Lin Ju also felt that there was a small but obvious electric current flowing through his skin at that time, which made people have goosebumps all over his body.

It was a massive electromagnetic pulse that accompanied the explosion, which could still damage the surrounding electronic equipment even after heavy attenuation.

Yuanwang-7 and the surrounding warships are worry-free, and their cabin protection can resist such electromagnetic shocks, but Yuanwang-7 still turned off the external antenna power supply 3 minutes in advance.

Zhang Zheng turned on an emergency light, which was extinguished after the nuclear explosion.

Lin Ju took off his sunglasses, and what he saw was still the deep blue ocean and the mushroom cloud that had swelled to the extreme.

He tried to say something several times but found that he couldn't lift his strength, only to realize that the heart in his chest was beating wildly at an unprecedented speed, almost suffocating.

In the end, it was Zhang Zheng who was the first to adjust, and he took a long breath to feel that he had found himself again.

He thought he would be excited and cheering, but when it actually happened, he felt the same powerlessness as everyone else, and could only stay where he was and watch everything happen.

Originally, those words full of revenge couldn't be spoken, and in the end they could only spit out one sentence:

"This must not happen to us."

Lin Ju also nodded solemnly, this is just a "small" hydrogen bomb with a power of more than 300,000 tons that has been greatly reduced, how terrible should those monsters at the level of millions, tens of millions of tons or even 100 million tons be?

Only by experiencing that kind of power can you understand why scientists would make up rumors about "nuclear winter", and when people really face death, they will find that they are really not as relaxed and free as they imagined.

He patted Yu Man's back, which had been holding him for a long time, and could feel the other party's body trembling.

"It's not going to happen to us, never."
