Chapter 990: Destruction of the Base
"Boom!" The explosion sound is not very loud. When the distance is relatively far, you must first see the light of the explosion, and then you will hear the sound after a few seconds.
Moreover, the explosion height is not high, only eighty meters!
During the explosion, the foggy clouds were spreading rapidly to the outside, as if a drop of ink was placed in the clear water, quickly spreading 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 underneath, there is clear water. Only the most professionals know that this kind of water is special heavy water.
At the same time, there were sticks inserted in the water. The darker ones were uranium rods, and the thinner ones were luminous, and the cadmium rods were .
Here is a reactor. At this time, the internal nuclear reaction is constantly in progress. 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 obtaining enough uranium ore, it produced nuclear raw materials that meet the use of this reactor. Then, it can burn more and more.
No one dared to be inside. The thick cement protective layer outside is used to shield radiation. Not far from the reactor is its control room. Several personnel on duty are waiting here without knowing that the disaster has arrived.
One of the staff sniffed: "What's going on? Why does it smell strange in the air?"
The clouds have spread to them, covering everything around them!
Just when the person next to him was about to answer him, the second explosion suddenly came.
"Boom!" This explosion is tens of thousands of times stronger than the explosion just now!
Amid the huge explosion, all the diffuse air masses were lit almost at this moment! Within a radius of 500 meters, all were fire!
A huge fireball with a radius of more than 500 meters suddenly lit up on the dark earth. The night turned into daylight, and all the space surrounded by this flame turned into nothing at this moment!
The central temperature is as high as 2500 degrees. At this temperature, nothing can survive!
The personnel were quickly gasified, and then they scattered, and their ashes could not be retained.
At the center of the fireball, a powerful airflow also forms, which can produce 1,000 pounds of super air pressure per square inch.
This air pressure is enough to crush any strong fortress and fortifications!
Of course, the huge reinforced concrete structure's shell nuclear reactor was not spared. Under this huge airflow, it was like an egg shell, and it was crushed in an instant!
The nuclear reaction inside also stopped instantly. Under high temperature and pressure, both the uranium rod and the cadmium rod were turned into fine powder and spread outward with the airflow.
This is the most terrifying radioactive dust. As long as you breathe this dust, there is only a dead end!
The huge fireball is still expanding rapidly at a speed of 3,000 meters per second! Wherever you go, everything becomes shattered foam, and a mushroom cloud rises slowly in the sky.
"fuk!" Corporal Rex was shocked. He couldn't believe everything in front of him. He couldn't even believe that it was an enemy's bombing. If it was an accident at the base, it would be believed.
"Hurry up, let's go back and put out the fire!" Ward shouted loudly in front of him. They have no responsibilities now, they are firefighters!
And at this moment, the second explosion actually appeared again!
After the first explosion, the light generated was enough to guide the bombers behind them. They deliberately deviated slightly from the position of the flame and expanded the range of the bombing.
Next is the third and fourth...
When the explosion occurred, there was a stir in the centrifuge factory three kilometers away from the nuclear reactor.
Although a large number of scientists have conducted preliminary research, nuclear bombs are still unknown. Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of detonating nuclear bombs as soon as possible, the Manhattan Project simply started working together in various ways, using nuclear reactors to burn them to obtain plutonium and to make plutonium bombs. It also uses centrifuges to purify uranium 235 and to make uranium bombs.
As the name suggests, the centrifuge uses the principle of centrifugation. Uranium 238 is the heaviest. When it is installed on the centrifuge, it is thrown to the outside, and the inside is the lightest.
This kind of device must be quite large, and the factory here is also the tallest, three stories high!
The explosion over there made the place realize that something was wrong immediately. The next moment, all the glass was broken under the shock wave. The workers stood up and ran out quickly. In short, it was the worst thing to stay here.
However, just after they ran outside, they smelled a unique scent of ammonium nitrate in the air, and then, a terrible fire appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Their bodies then turned into shattered foam!
Five fifteen-ton bombs turned the entire base into ruins!
It was burning everywhere, and there were fragments of unmistakable buildings, machines or human flesh. A little far away from the center of the explosion, there were no people who were directly burned, and the death was even more miserable. They covered their necks with their hands, their faces swelled into pig livers, but they could not breathe. There was no oxygen in the surrounding environment, and they were suffocated to death!
And further away, if the guards deployed at the outermost periphery of the base immediately withdrew at this time, they could survive. Unfortunately, no one thought of retreating at this time. They were all running towards the explosion and wanted to put out the fire.
In the air, countless radioactive dust permeates.
The fire is still burning.
Corporal Rex ran towards the fire, running, and the air was constantly choking. He was still running without any scruples, but his breathing was getting more and more difficult.
Finally, he stopped running, half-squatted on the ground, gasping for breath. He didn't know that the more he breathed, the faster he would be away from death.
He was still breathing, and at this time, his lungs could no longer help but cough violently.
"Cough, cough..." Suddenly, while coughing, he felt a fishy smell in his throat. With the light of fire, he saw that what he had spitted out was actually red!
His lungs spasmed violently, and his face turned pale.
What's going on? What's going on?
A terrible series of big explosions occurred at the Oak Ridge Base. During the explosion, a skyrocketing fire broke out in the entire base!
This news is also being reported to the superiors quickly.
