"I saw a fire in the sky that lit up the whole world."

When Jianghu TV reporter Yusuke Ohno stood on the top of the mountain in Tanzawa Forest Park in Pancheng City, he told tens of millions of viewers what he saw.

Pancheng is located on the edge of the control zone, also close to the coastline, because the clean-up work is much more prosperous than before.

Many residents who moved out of the control area chose to stop here, and the IAEA also needed to purchase supplies from here, and a large number of people who could not buy ferry tickets and wanted to see the nuclear explosion also came to Pancheng.

It is still under the jurisdiction of Toshima Prefecture, and there is a limited express train to Edo, which can be reached in two hours.

Pancheng is also a well-known tourist attraction, and the combination of these characteristics has caused the population to skyrocket in and out of the country in a few days, and Yusuke Ohno can see tents everywhere when he arrives in the area, because there is simply not so much accommodation available in the area.

Even he was a reporter for Jianghu TV, who drove up to the top of the nearby Responsible Forest Park and set up camp, setting up cameras and waiting for the nuclear explosion.

The entire mountain is also crowded with people, and although everyone strongly opposes the IAEA's actions on the Internet, it does not mean that they do not want to come and witness the actual nuclear explosion.

Yusuke Ohno is just a rookie reporter, and the old section chief of the station directly rented a tourist plane and took the best team to prepare to take off 2 hours after the nuclear explosion to grab first-hand video data.

There are quite a few media outlets with the same purpose, and the IAEA does not refuse this kind of behavior, but only requires that they only shoot along a fixed route after they are opened, otherwise they will be shot down by warships for unknown purposes.

But Yusuke Ohno knows that not all media outlets are like this, and when he saw a reporter from the China News Agency flying to the airport on Toshima the other day, they would certainly work with the military to get first-hand information, as did several other TASS agencies, AFP, the BBC and CNN.

At first, Yusuke Ohno was worried about not seeing anything in Panjo, because the IAEA had already stated in advance that the underground nuclear explosion would greatly weaken the impact, and the core explosion area would not cover more than 30 square kilometers and the radius would be less than 3 kilometers.

Pancheng is 38.5 kilometers away from the nuclear power plant in a straight line, and he wonders if he will not be able to shoot anything.

But the truth completely turned his imagination upside down, just after 11:50, he and the cameraman kept checking whether the camera was aligned, rubbing their hands to resist the low temperature.

There weren't many clouds in the sky, and it was very clear at this time, and there were countless voices around me, and I could smell rice balls and poop at the same time, which was terrible.

The photographer remembered that there were two noise-canceling headphones in the car, and Yusuke Ohno, who was moving his hands and feet, immediately opened the car door and rummaged through it, and as soon as he reached his head, he heard several female screams.

He immediately looked up, and then he saw two suns in the world: one above and one below.

There was almost no difference in the brightness of the two suns, and most of the sun's rays below were obscured by the terrain, causing large areas of hills and trees to be illuminated with extremely long shadows, and everything in the distance was swallowed up by white light.

At this distance, most of it was obscured by the terrain, and the bright light of the eruption was not as irritating to the eyes as it was at sea, and Yusuke Ohno witnessed the first 5 seconds of the explosion.

After 5 seconds, the bright light on the ground began to dissipate, and a mushroom cloud began to rise upwards as the ground began to shake beneath his feet.

This feeling is not unfamiliar to the islanders, and Yusuke Ohno has already roughly figured out the magnitude of the earthquake even when he held on to the camera rack - less than 6 magnitude, a small earthquake, and it is not in the way.

It was precisely because of this action that he did not fall to the ground because of his lack of reaction like a photographer, and witnessed the next scene that he will never forget:

The rising mushroom cloud stipe is a dark red color, but the top is a whitish orange red, lighting up the northern sky as it rises, artificially splitting the world in half.

The sky in the north was completely dyed with mushroom clouds that were a rich golden yellow, like a golden autumn evening—if you ignore the tumbling mushroom clouds, and the winter sky above and behind them was still clear, and the two very different celestial phenomena intersected together, giving people a trance like a world away.

Yusuke Ohno remembered his childhood, it was an evening in the countryside, and a fire was lit in front of the house with firewood for heating, and in his memory the flame was higher than his own, and the sky in his eyes was also red.

Now, the nuclear bomb literally ignited the earth and sky, scorching the ground beneath his feet with flames fiercer than the sun.

"Yusuke, Yusuke!"

The cameraman finally got up, rushed to the camera, and then indulged in the footage of the recording.

……

Toshima Airport, 12:21.

The two H-6s, numbered 2210 and 2220, took off from the runway in turn, nearly 30 minutes had passed since the explosion, and samples of the explosion area could be taken.

Several Tu142, P8 and U2 also took off, performing the same mission.

Sampling mushroom clouds after a nuclear explosion is the most intuitive and fastest way to determine the effect of an explosion, and it needs to be done before the mushroom cloud has completely spread, which means that the aircraft and crew will inevitably be exposed to radiation.

However, these are not new to the three parties to which these aircraft belong, and now their means of protection are much stronger than in the past, and there is no need to worry too much about radiation.

As for the planes that both the country and the country chose to rub against Aramco, the country used to have such planes, but they had long since been decommissioned and mothballed with the cessation of nuclear tests, and the worse belt of martial arts was certainly not much better.

On the H-6 observation aircraft numbered 2220, in addition to the crew, it was mainly reporters from the China News Service and several observers from Xinyuan.

The 2210 is equipped with a working group, and the 2220 is mainly used to collect video data.

The photographers of the China News Agency not only lay on the porthole to shoot, but even squeezed into the cab to take the first view, and these images will eventually be shown to the public.

The issue of confidentiality is not a big problem at this time, anyway, the latter two are the same process.

However, the two most special passengers on this bomber were the special observers from Xinyuan: Xiao Okada and Guo Shen.

The two of them came to fulfill Lin Ju's long-cherished wish to pass through the mushroom cloud, and because they knew that they were not realistic, these two tasks were voluntarily won by them.

Xiao Okada, who had just seen the explosion site in the bunker, looked at it from a different angle at this time, because the flight altitude was very high, and they were now just level with the top of the mushroom cloud, and they could see the whole picture from above.

"It's a blood-red chrysanthemum."

"Old Xiao, are you okay?"

Guo Shen saw that Xiao Okada's eyes were full of confusion, and he was a little worried about his state.

"I'm fine, I'm very good, I've never seen anything like this, only the universe can compare to it.

I'm going to go back that time in the evening, and I can't miss it. ”
