Chapter 992: Destruction of the Base

"Boom!" The sound of the explosion is not very loud. When the distance is relatively far, the light of the explosion must be seen first, and then the sound will be heard after a few seconds.

Moreover, the height of its explosion is not high, only 80 meters!

During the explosion, the fog-like cloud quickly spread out, as if a drop of ink had been placed in clear water, and spread rapidly towards the time.

Soon, it enveloped the buildings below.

This building is round. The outside of the building has a thick concrete shell. Inside and below are clear water. Only the most professional people know that this water is a special heavy water.

At the same time, in the water, there are sticks sticking out, the darker ones are uranium rods, and the thinner ones are cadmium rods.

Here is a reactor. At this time, the internal nuclear reaction is constantly going on. Through combustion, uranium is turned into plutonium, and the more it burns, the more it burns.

This nuclear reactor was just started a few days ago. After getting enough uranium ore, it can produce enough nuclear raw materials for this reactor. Next, it can burn more and more.

No one dared to go inside. The thick cement protective layer on the outside is used to shield radiation. Not far from this reactor is its control room. Several people on duty are waiting here. Do not know that disaster has come.

A person sniffed: "What's the matter? Why is there a strange smell in the air?"

The cloud has spread to them, covering everything around here!

Just when the person beside him wanted to answer him, the second explosion came suddenly.

"Boom!" This explosion was tens of thousands of times stronger than the previous explosion!

In the huge explosion, all the air masses that spread out, almost at this moment, all ignited! Within a radius of 500 meters, all are fire!

On the dark ground, a huge fireball with a radius of more than 500 meters suddenly lit up. The night turned into day, and all the space surrounded by this flame became nothing at this moment!

The core temperature, as high as 2500 degrees Celsius, at this temperature, nothing can survive!

The personnel were quickly vaporized, and then scattered, and their ashes were not preserved.

At the center of the fireball, a powerful air current also formed, generating super-pressure of 1,000 pounds per square inch.

This air pressure is enough to crush any solid fortress or fortification!

The nuclear reactor with the huge reinforced concrete structure was of course not immune. Under this huge airflow, it was like an egg shell, and it was crushed at once!

The nuclear reaction inside also stopped instantly. Under high temperature and high pressure, whether it was uranium rods or cadmium rods, they all turned into fine powders, which spread out with the airflow.

This is the most terrible radioactive dust. As long as you breathe this dust, there is only one dead end!

The huge fireball is still rapidly expanding at a speed of 3000 meters per second! Wherever he went, everything turned into foam, and a mushroom cloud rose in the sky.

"Fuck!" Corporal Rex was stunned. He couldn't believe everything in front of him, and even he couldn't believe it was the enemy's bombing. If it was an accident at the base, it would still make people believe it. .

"Quick, let's go back to put out the fire!" Ward in front shouted loudly, they have no responsibilities now, they are firefighters!

And at this moment, the second explosion actually appeared again!

When the first bomb exploded, the light produced was enough to guide the bombers behind, and they deliberately shifted the position of the fire slightly to expand the bombing range.

Then the third, the fourth...

When the explosion occurred, there was an immediate commotion in the centrifuge factory three kilometers away from the nuclear reactor.

Although a large number of scientists have carried out preliminary research work, the nuclear bomb is still unknown. Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of detonating the nuclear bomb as soon as possible, the Manhattan Project simply started together in various ways, using nuclear reactors to burn plutonium and make plutonium bombs. Centrifuges are also used to purify uranium-235 to make uranium bombs.

The centrifuge, as the name suggests, uses the principle of centrifugation. Uranium-238 is the heaviest. When it is loaded into the centrifuge, it is thrown to the outermost part, and the innermost part is the lightest.

This kind of device must be quite large, and the factory here is also the largest, with a height of three floors!

The explosion over there made the place immediately realize that it was not good. The next moment, all the glass was shattered under the shock wave. The workers stood up and ran out quickly. In short, staying here is the worst. .

However, just after they ran outside, they smelled a unique smell of ammonium nitrate in the air, and then, a terrible fire appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Their bodies also turned into foam!

Five fifteen-ton bombs turned the entire base into ruins!

It was burning everywhere, and there were fragments of buildings that could not be distinguished from machines or human flesh. In places farther from the center of the explosion, there were no people who were directly burned, and the death was even more tragic. They covered it with their hands. Their necks turned into pig livers, but they couldn't breathe. There was no oxygen in the surrounding environment. They were suffocated to death!

And farther away, the guards deployed at the outermost periphery of the base, if they were to withdraw immediately at this time, then they would still be able to survive, but unfortunately, no one thought of retreating at this time, they were all heading for the explosion. Running in the direction, I want to go to put out the fire.

In the air, countless radioactive dust filled the air.

The fire is still burning.

Corporal Rex ran in the direction of the fire, running. There was a choking smell in the air. He continued to run without hesitation, but his breathing became more and more difficult.

Finally, he stopped running, half squatted on the ground, gasping for breath, he didn't know, the more he breathed, the faster he was away from death.

He was still breathing, breathing, and at this moment, his lungs couldn't help, coughing violently.

"Cough, cough..." Suddenly, while coughing, he felt a fishy smell in his throat, and by the light of the fire, he saw that what he spit out was actually red!

His lungs spasmed violently, and his face was even paler.

what happened? what happened?

At the Oak Ridge Base, a series of terrifying explosions occurred. During the explosion, the entire base was set on fire!

This news is also reported to the superiors quickly.
