Chapter 455 Dropping the Hydrogen Bomb
Three days later, the Mitchell ship and the Monyach met at the edge of the Arctic Circle.
There were still faint bands of light floating in the polar night sky. Everyone on the Monyach breathed a sigh of relief. They finally returned to the human world.
Mance and Zero boarded the Mitchell, using the ship's communicator to report the situation to Angers.
"I have bad news to tell you." Angers sat in front of the screen with a serious expression: "Our satellite has been able to observe Nibiru. It appears at the North Pole, and all the dragons gathering there have entered Nibiru, and it's expanding at a slow rate."
"Expanding? Is it getting bigger?" Mance asked.
"No, it is not it that is expanding, but its territory. The night is spreading around it. If we extrapolate from the current observed spread rate, Russia will lose daylight in 56 days. On the 176th day , the whole of Asia, Europe and America will be shrouded in darkness, and the reason why it appears black is because it absorbs all the light and the sunlight is providing energy to it."
"Does it want all the sun's light to be its own?" Mance was worried.
The sun is the center of the solar system and the only star in the solar system. The survival of all life on earth depends on the sun.
The solar radiation received by the earth only accounts for one-billionth of the total radiation from the sun, but this one-billionth is already the source of all energy on the earth.
If Nibiru were to occupy all the light, how much energy would it absorb, and what kind of existence would it create?
"After EVA's analysis, Nibiru absorbs sunlight very efficiently, and almost no excess light and heat is emitted. The energy it absorbs every minute and every second is extremely terrifying. We can't imagine that black What kind of creature is being nurtured among the Nibelungs."
Angers whispered: "Now that the United Nations has officially launched the underground evacuation plan, the human habitation will be transformed from above ground to underground within these ten months. I hope we can survive this disaster."
"Is there just an evacuation plan?" Lu Lincheng looked straight at the past.
"Of course not. Even ants submerged in floods will still struggle to survive before dying." Angers put his hands together: "The application for launching a nuclear bomb was approved at the United Nations meeting three hours ago. The Russian government In 48 hours, ten 50-megaton hydrogen bombs will be dropped from space to the North Pole through satellites. The process will be broadcast live around the world. I hope the 'Tsar Bomb' will be effective."
"What if it doesn't work?" Lu Lincheng asked.
"Then the United Nations will completely give up its attack on dragons and start to carry out evacuation work with all its strength. Fortunately, this work started two years ago. The existing shelters can basically accommodate 60% of them. Humans, that number is pretty optimistic.”
Angers said: "You are now in a position where you can see the light of the nuclear bomb explosion without being exposed to radiation, so the next order for you is to witness the moment when our weapons are released for mankind while ensuring your own safety."
"Can a nuclear bomb really be effective against a creature of that level?" Qiao Weini was silent for a while and then said: "Even Eri Yi will not be harmed by the explosion of the nuclear bomb."
"But we can't do nothing, we have to try something." Angers said: "If this plan fails, we will continue to carry out the task of preventing the Black King from resurrecting. There is still the only hope, isn't there?"
The Monyach and the Mitchell ships were anchored in a relatively safe location.
I can indeed feel the expansion of Nibiru, and the sky is darker than before. Before Nibiru's territory expanded to this sea area, I could still see the bright Milky Way and stars when I raised my head, but now I can only see it when I raise my head. The darkness and the aurora dancing under the dark sky are extremely strong ionization phenomena.
It was impossible to see clearly with only the weak light of the aurora, so the ship had to light up the lights, and bright searchlights illuminated the deck.
Everyone was watching the live broadcast of Russia's satellite launch. The rocket carrying the nuclear bomb flew into the sky in a jet of flames, making a huge roar that even the screen was shaking.
It took off with hope, ten satellites, each carrying a 26-ton Big Ivan.
This is the most terrifying weapon in human history.
On October 30, 1961, it was tested in the air.
The fireball produced by the explosion had a diameter of 4,600 meters, far exceeding the 4,200 meters where it was detonated. It then spread almost to the height where the bomber had just dropped it, and could be seen nearly 1,000 kilometers away.
All wooden or brick houses in the Seferny Colony, 55 kilometers away from the test site, were completely destroyed. All wooden houses within hundreds of kilometers were destroyed. Only brick or stone houses remained, but none had doors, windows and roofs.
The electromagnetic pulse after the explosion caused a full hour-long radio communication window, causing atmospheric disturbances that circled the earth three times and moved the entire Eurasian continent 9 millimeters southward.
It is the highest crystallization of human power. With uneasy hearts, everyone watched the satellite take off and follow the orbit to reach the North Pole.
There were still ten minutes left before the nuclear bomb was launched. Everyone on the Mitchell ship stood on the deck, looking at Nibiru floating above the pole.
Susie asked Xia Mi: "Do you think the hydrogen bomb will work?"
"I don't know." Xia Mi shook his head: "In the past years, human civilization has never developed to the level it is today. Your weapons are already more powerful in terms of destructive power than most word spirits. Even the Dragon King I can’t say that the exclusive World-Destroying Word Spirit will be more powerful than your hydrogen bomb. If you want, you can even use hydrogen bombs to clean the earth’s surface in a short time. This is something that no dragon has ever done.”
"So you think the hydrogen bomb can hurt the Black King?" Susie flipped her hair around her ears.
"Maybe." Xia Mi looked at Nibiru.
"Is that really the Black King's Nibelung?" Susie asked.
"The Black King's Nibelung roots were broken when the World Tree withered. It was the new Nibelung roots that were being nurtured."
Susie was silent, just looking at the frozen sea from a distance.
Because the icebreaker smashed into the ice floe, there were waves in the dark sea water, and the collision of the newly-frozen brittle ice ballast made the sound of broken glass. The cold wind blew in the face, and it was deathly lonely, as if this was the end of the world.
Finally it was time to drop the hydrogen bomb.
This scene was broadcast live all over the world. In Binhai City, Su Xiaoyan was sitting on the sofa, the goose down pillow she was holding in her hands was dented.
Aki Shutoku, who was far away at home, was rocking his sleeping child in his arms, with his long hair tied up on his chest and his eyes worried.
Human beings on this planet are all watching this historic moment.
The heavy warhead was dropped, and all satellites in low-Earth orbit were launched!
Ten Big Ivans were placed in the protective cabin, and they all fell to the ground, like ten meteors, covering the dark sea of ice.
The friction of the atmosphere caused the metal protective shells to become hot and glow red. They decomposed during flight, and the semi-melted metal fragments fell down like peeling eggshells, and a dazzling golden rain began to fall in the night sky.
This beautiful and dreamy scene is like a grand meteor shower. No one has ever observed such a beautiful man-made meteor shower.
Everyone on the ship was attracted by the meteor shower. They wore sunglasses that could filter the bright light to avoid permanent blindness due to the bright light of the nuclear bomb explosion.
Ten hydrogen bombs exploded almost at the same moment, and the superimposed explosion sound seemed to shatter the entire earth.
They were a full 400 kilometers away from the center of the explosion, but they were still shrouded in dazzling light, giving people the feeling of 100 suns shining.
Even wearing sunglasses, my eyes still felt intense burning.
In an instant, all radio signals were lost and the dancing aurora bands were swallowed up.
The ice vaporized directly in the extreme heat, and white mist rose, like the steam sprayed from a pressure cooker, but one hundred million times stronger than that.
What followed were scorching winds and earthquakes. The Mitchell ship and the Monyach shook violently. The entire Arctic ice floe was shattered. Wind blew from the center of the explosion, and the atmosphere was lifted. When the sky opened, the clouds rose, and people as far away as Europe could witness the explosion. Within a moment, the vibrations were transmitted to the Eurasian continental plate.
After a long time, the afterglow of the explosion dissipated, but the mushroom cloud was still flying.
Only people on the ship can see this scene, and their connection with the outside world is completely cut off. Because of electromagnetic waves, even if the satellite can take photos, it cannot transmit the photos until the electromagnetic waves dissipate.
They are the only witnesses and everyone is waiting for the ending.
Finally, when the black smoke dissipated, a huge crater appeared at the North Pole. The water there had been completely evaporated, but Nibiru was still floating in the dark night, with no visible damage on the outside.
It's like a flawless black gemstone, floating quietly.
"It would be great if it could be solved so easily, but it seems useless now." Xia Mi took off his sunglasses: "Although I could have guessed the ending."
"After the electromagnetic waves subside, report the results back." Lu Lincheng leaned on the railing: "Only we can deal with the next thing. We have to pursue the only hope."
One day later, the outside world learned the news, and the plan officially failed.
Human beings began to migrate to the underground world.
Germany, Hamburg Port, Kassel Manor, Angers came here alone, staring at the crawling dragon.
"Grandpa, you're here again. Do you want to come and play with me?" Fenrir looked at Angers with his huge eyes.
"Yeah, I'm just here to play with you." Angers took out a deck of playing cards: "How about we play cards?"
"Okay." Fenrir nodded, and it created a clay sculpture as tall as a person, and played Texas Hold'em with Angers.
Although it seems to have a low IQ and is still a child, it is a good player at playing cards.
Angers did not play the game with it in a perfunctory manner. On the contrary, Angers was very serious, because if he did not play cards seriously, he would lose miserably.
Angers accompanied Fenrir to play Texas for a full two hours. Fenrir had a great time. In the past few days, he was asked by Xia Mi to stay here peacefully, so he happened to be a little bored.
After losing another round, Angers put down his cards: "How about we play something else?"
"Okay." Fenrir's dragon head moved: "What are we playing?"
"Can you build a house?" Angers asked.
"Building a house? Is it like this?" Fenrir thought for a moment. Dragon claws lined the ground, and rocks emerged from the soil, like sprouting roots.
The rock blocks twisted, shaped, and changed like tree roots, turning into a pineapple house, the same pineapple house in the classic anime "SpongeBob SquarePants."
Except it's not colored, it's almost exactly the same as the one in the anime.
For Fenrir's size of more than ten meters, this pineapple house is like an exquisite figure. He is quite satisfied with the figure he made. He holds his chin with his right paw and looks at it, nodding from time to time.
But for Angers, this was more than just a figure. To him, the pineapple house was about the same size as a normal house. He walked to the door and pushed open the door made of rock.
Fenrir even restored the structure of the door perfectly. At this time, it is really hard to tell whether it has a low IQ or a special talent. It is like an autistic child with a unique talent in a certain aspect. On the one hand, it is Unparalleled genius, on the other hand, is born with a disability.
Angers opened the door and was stunned for a moment. Even inside the door, Fenrir had restored it.
The Pineapple House contains SpongeBob's bed, TV and refrigerator, as well as Xiaowei's bowl. Fenrir built a model of the Pineapple House in his mind based only on the pictures in the animation, and then restored it.
"Are you interested in building a house elsewhere?" Angers asked: "We have a lot of potato chips, Coke, or other snacks. You can ask for whatever you want. There is an unlimited supply."
"Can it be done!" Fenrir cheered, but his head immediately dropped again: "No, my sister said she wouldn't let me leave here, and asked me to wait here for her to come back."
"Your sister and I are good friends. It was she who asked me to come to you and said you could help us." Ange smiled.
"Really!" Fenrir, who was lying on his stomach, stood up. He was too naive and did not consider where the evidence of Angers was: "Then let's go quickly. Where should we go to play?"
"We can go to many places this time, and you can have fun as you want." Angers successfully used snacks to reach an agreement with the Dragon King.
So on this day, Fenrir, led by Angers, appeared in front of people.
At first, some people were afraid of it, but after learning about its character and seeing its miraculous "house-building" skills, some people gradually accepted it.
It is so efficient at opening up underground space that it can build the base of a shelter in just a few minutes. All that remains is to fill it with facilities and build various circuits.
Angers realized the role of Fenrir. Sometimes, dragons are not necessarily enemies, but may also be friends.
(There are still about 5 to 8 chapters left, which is a little slower than expected, but it is within the plan, probably because I took three days off this month and last month.)
