Chapter 584: Drill
The area of impact of the first ground-penetrating bomb was actually felt far beyond the area affected by the explosion, and in fact about 70% of the entire island of Honshu was clearly felt.
This is mainly because of the earthquakes induced by nuclear bombs, and in just three hours, the authorities of the island country detected 11 earthquakes, with a maximum magnitude of 5.2, and at least 10 million people felt the tremors, and no loss of life and property was caused.
However, Nakayama Hatoji was still in a very nervous mood, even if it had been a few hours.
In fact, the Pacific Fleet specially invited several heads of government to board the USS Roosevelt and observed the entire process of the nuclear explosion in the innermost circle of the warning area.
In addition to scare, this kind of behavior with an excessive concentration of force value is more important PUA, and Hatoji Nakayama knows that this is a warning from the Hexagon to himself, and he must let himself completely obey their arrangement.
The IAEA's decision to adjust the next two nuclear bombs to the yield of Plan B was also quickly informed to him, and many high-level officials, including Nakayama Hatoji, were extremely angry, but they could not oppose it at all.
Because the IAEA officials who informed them left in a helicopter after saying something, the attitude of the Pacific Fleet was "unaware" of this, and there was no way to complain.
As for blocking the IAEA follow-up?
Nakayama glanced at some of the dark marks on the pants of some of the suits, and there was still a fishy smell in the air.
How could such a group of insects who can only jump up and down the House have such courage?
But Hatoji Nakayama tactfully expressed his dissent, asking about safety on the grounds that civilian facilities were safe and inducing earthquakes, and then heard Captain Brett Crozier confidently reply:
"There's no need to worry about this at all, as long as you shut down the computer in advance and protect it, it's not a big deal to lose a few satellites at most, and the Chinese people alone will have to lose at least two or three low-orbit satellites overhead, and we will have the same loss."
Nakayama nodded and then looked at Brett's hand on his shoulder and fell into thought:
What do we mean by "we"?
……
Forward.
Guo Fan floated next to the large-area viewing porthole of the "Zi Mouse" cabin, and was rapidly editing Weibo on the tablet, and then handed it over to the commander Li Sheng for review.
Li Sheng scanned the tweets and pictures, and nodded and handed the tablet back without finding anything secret.
The photographs are mainly of nuclear explosions taken by Endeavor in space, and as long as they do not involve the space station itself, there is nothing to keep secret.
What's more, the space station and Internet connection will also be audited by firewalls and AI, so you don't need to worry too much.
The photos taken by the space station are far less shocking than those on the ground, with only a small dot that suddenly lights up for a few seconds under the sun's rays, and more changes in the meteorological map caused by mushroom clouds are observed.
After Guo Fan posted on Weibo, he looked at Li Sheng with some awe, who had always been a very peaceful image before, but showed his true military colors half an hour ago.
For a nuclear explosion on the ground, the response of the Advance and Tiangong space stations is completely different.
After calculating that the Tiangong space station was on the other side of the Earth for the first 10 minutes of the explosion, it would be able to avoid the effects of possible electromagnetic pulses and would not require much deliberate orbit adjustment.
The Advance boldly decided to face the nuclear explosion head-on, adjusting its orbit to pass right over the island nation at the time of the explosion, and to withstand the impact of the hydrogen bomb head-on.
Electromagnetic pulse is the means of attack with the longest range of influence of the hydrogen bomb, and the EMP attack of the 300,000-ton hydrogen bomb can still maintain a certain kill at a distance of thousands of kilometers.
Most small and micro satellites are at risk of having their chips destroyed, and the Tiangong space station will also be affected, but the Qianqian is different.
Satellites and spacecraft in low-Earth orbit are naturally protected by the Earth's magnetic field, which greatly weakens rays from the universe and the sun.
Especially for chips, the key circuits all use the native ternary chips produced by the base, and theoretically they can even face a solar storm that is not too large.
After deliberations on the ground, it was decided to use three nuclear explosions to drill the Advance to deal with the electromagnetic pulse, including all 38 members of the station.
At this time, the advantages of professional astronauts are clearly reflected, more than a dozen astronauts from military backgrounds accurately assign tasks, manage personnel with a military system, and meticulously implement all procedures in accordance with the requirements of regular military exercises.
In the past, Guo Fan always felt that the importance of professional astronauts would decline rapidly after the maturity of astronaut technology, but in fact, on the contrary, the organizational ability of military personnel is completely beyond the reach of non-professional astronauts.
Since yesterday, the Advance space station seems to have become the Advance Space Battleship, and they are all crew members under the command of Captain Li Sheng, working together to deal with sudden dangers.
The official start of the exercise was marked by Li Sheng's radio shouting in the pilot cabin:
"Battle~Alert!"
Then the 8 "mobile teams" who remained in the Axis Module immediately quickly went to their respective cabins, and the entire space station was full of flashing warning lights and rapid bells, and the atmosphere was completely different from before.
Such a peculiar experience made Guo Fan very excited, and bluntly said that he really found the tension in the face of danger in the plot of the movie.
The design of the Endeavor proved to be very good, except for the shutdown of some external scientific detection equipment, the overall circuit of the space station still operated according to conventional standards, although obvious electromagnetic pulses were detected, but there were no power outages, control system failures and other dangers, and only a very low level of redundant protection measures were triggered, which can be said to be quite satisfactory.
Now Li Sheng is taking more than a dozen professional astronauts to prepare for the second time to resist the impact, and the crew members can rest for the time being.
"Lao Guo, did I send out that photo?"
Wu Jing lay down and floated over, looking very comfortable.
"Which one?"
"It's the one that rolled out the nuclear explosion."
Wu Jingtou stretched out his fist to one side and made a punching pose, and at that moment he seized the opportunity to take a photo with the nuclear explosion flash by the porthole, hoping to create the artistic conception of "nuclear explosion wolf fist".
"No, you send it yourself, and I'll pass it on to you."
"Then I'll do it myself."
Wu Jing was about to snatch the tablet, when suddenly a shrill alarm bell sounded in the cabin again, and the alarm lights began to flash again.
"Attention units, the next assault will be in 35 minutes, and all personnel will arrive at their posts within 5 minutes, ready for the second attack!
I would like to emphasize that the second explosive yield will be increased by 1 times, and the intensity of the electromagnetic pulse will also be increased. ”
As soon as the words fell, the two of them immediately hurriedly put things away, and Wu Jing even crawled quickly along the bulkhead with all fours, which was a new skill he had just learned.
In fact, he wants to be a crew member on the Advance more than an actor, and maybe he can venture around the solar system in the future
