The nuclear explosion began at the moment when Miyamoto Musashi closed his eyes in despair.

The first thing that happened was the explosion of the fission atomic bomb that was the fusion bomb, the so-called hydrogen bomb.

When all the digits on the timer are reset to zero, the high-voltage capacitor starts charging, and the ignition of the tritium memory kicks in, pressing tritium into a thin metal tube, and in a matter of seconds, the tritium gas fuses with the lithium deuteride inside the bomb.

The charged high-voltage capacitor begins to release a high-voltage current, transmitting a huge impulse to the voltage divider, which transmits this impulse through the dense wires to the detonation device of the dense explosive block in the first layer of the nuclear bomb in a ten-thousandth of a second.

All the shock waves and the metal particles doped in the explosives were violently rushed towards the next stage of nuclear reaction material, about 10 kilograms of plutonium-239, at an ultra-high speed of 20 kilometers per second.

The pressure of millions of atmospheres violently compresses plutonium-239 together, and plutonium-239 continues to compress, and the density becomes higher and higher, almost within a millionth of a second, it becomes more than ten times the usual density.

At this time, the particle accelerator inside the nuclear bomb began to operate, and the deuterium gas atoms in the nuclear bomb hit the beryllium element, producing a large number of neutrons, which bombarded the continuously compressed plutonium at a super speed of 30,000 kilometers per second, that is, one-tenth of the speed of light.

The atomic weight of plutonium-239 is 239,239 neutrons and protons, and it relies on strong suction to maintain the normal state of the atom. And whenever a bombarded neutron approaches the nucleus of a plutonium atom. It is then captured by the suction of the nucleus and enters the center of the plutonium atom. Instantaneously impacts, destroys, and changes the energy state of the original equilibrium of plutonium atoms. As a result, the nucleus that was once very balanced. Under this impact, it began to spin violently and rapidly, and because of the turbulence and instability of the nuclear suction, a strong splitting reaction occurred.

This is nuclear fission!

The great scientist Albert Enstein once invented a formula to describe the powerful energetic reactions that occur when mass changes.

E=MC2。

Energy is equal to mass multiplied by the speed of light squared.

The constant splitting of the nucleus, the disappearance of a large number of protons and neutrons, and the energy produced is extremely staggering. This energy is emitted in the form of gamma rays or X-rays. But that's just the beginning, as the fission reaction progresses, a large number of particles are ejected' out at a speed of 30,000 kilometers per second. Towards more plutonium atoms.

Chain fission took place. In billions of a second, more nuclei release more powerful energy and more particles that blast toward the next batch of plutonium atoms. And these shocked nuclei fission again, and then the next wave of atoms slammed.

In this way, wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave, millions of atomic nuclei continue to fission, constantly pounding fiercely in the narrow atomic world. Spinning, splitting, the rays and energy released are rising exponentially and exponentially in a geometric progression. Finally. In a few or dozens, hundreds of billionths of a second, the fission of this piece of plutonium atoms, about ten kilograms, reached its peak state.

"Boom!" In the bright light that lasted only about half a second. The atomic bomb, which was the "detonator" of this nuclear fusion bomb, exploded with a bang. More than 50,000 tons of equivalent energy. In an instant, there was a huge bang. Terrifying energy and rays sprayed from the summit of Fuge Peak.

But that's still not the end of the matter.

A tidal wave of energy formed by nuclear fission. Millions of degrees of heat are generated, igniting lithium deuteride in the next stage of the reactor, the center of the nuclear bomb, and at the same time, the pressure generated is greater than that inside the star, instantly compressing the lithium deuteride into a supermetallic state. At such strong pressures and temperatures, lithium deuteride decomposes and melts, releasing huge numbers of tritium and deuterium atoms.

It is also under such ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure, the extranuclear electrons of these deuterium nuclei tritium atoms get rid of the shackles of the nucleus, attract each other, collide together, and a strong atomic polymerization occurs, forming a new atomic nucleus with heavier mass - helium.

Nuclear fusion!

In the continuous fusion of atomic nuclei, a large number of particles are released, and the energy produced is far greater than that of nuclear fission! And this is not the end of the nuclear explosion, these particles released in high temperature and high pressure once again impact the plutonium atoms that have not been completely fissioned, and the energy released by the nuclear explosion instantly doubles again!

Thus, at the summit of Fuge Peak, a new "sun" was born.

The high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, nearly 500,000 tons of equivalent energy, centered on the new sun on Fuji Peak, is roaring in all directions!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Before nuclear fusion occurred, Miyamoto Musashi had been completely reduced to ashes, and the current leader of the Okami Sect, who had not been around for a long time, was honored to be the first person in the world to be killed by a hydrogen bomb explosion.

At the beginning of nuclear fission, the heavenly gamma rays that burst out of the shell of the nuclear bomb instantly invaded Miyamoto Musashi's body, and the ultra-high pressure and high temperature made every cell in his body burn. In just billions of a second, Miyamoto Musashi completely turned into the most basic particle, disappearing without a trace between heaven and earth, the kind of intense pain that was ignited by millions of degrees of heat all over his body, and it didn't even have time to spread in his nerves!

Dozens of rays from the nuclear explosion, after passing through Miyamoto Musashi's body, did not hesitate to rush towards the bottom of the mountain at the speed of light of 300,000 kilometers per second.

These rays are silent and imperceptible to the human body, but they are unmistakably present. At the very moment of the explosion, these rays covered a radius of hundreds of kilometers. All the people in this range were quietly shrouded. their bodies and bones. Unreservedly exposed to rays, which are also rapidly absorbed by their bodies and bones.

This is the first wave of damage from the nuclear bomb. Silent, but enough to make them suffer fatal injuries in a very short time. Even if they are lucky enough to escape their lives, they will be accompanied by various terminal illnesses for the rest of their lives until the moment of death.

But the power of the first ray is more than that.

Rays like a tide and a large number of electronic pulses surged in all directions at the speed of light, and the television and communication signals that were running in the city of Kyoto were struck by signals that exceeded the normal value by tens of millions of times or hundreds of millions of times, and were completely cut off in an instant. And after a few nanoseconds, the rays that surged into the depths of the universe soon reached tens or hundreds of kilometers above Jeppen, and the satellite signals that flew over Jeppen and provided communication signals for the country and even the world. They were all paralyzed in an instant!

Nuclear fusion, which was immediately followed by nuclear fission, broke out almost simultaneously.

A light cluster that was ten million times brighter than the sun in the sky illuminated the entire sky in an instant, and then, the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees rapidly unfolded its powerful impact in all directions.

Almost at the same time, the explosion of the tremendous energy created a static overpressure that blocked out all sounds, and the entire heaven and earth became absolute, deathly silent. And ultra-high pressure and vacuum, like a super earthquake, pull at all obstacles that can be encountered along the way. The ultra-high-intensity pull lasted for a few seconds. Forests, mountains, and buildings within tens of kilometers around Fuji Peak are constantly twisting and deforming in such a huge pull.

Static overpressure is over. The shock wave from the explosion of 500,000 tons of equivalent gave off a tsunami-like sound, blowing like a violent wind. Unformed buildings that have been twisted, like sand blown by a gale. The smoke vanished, turning into one rubble after another on the ground.

A heat wave like a raging wave also began to rage. Kyoto. Yamanashi, Shizuoka, things that can be burned are burning, things that can't be burned are also burning, and cities large and small within tens of kilometers are suddenly in a sea of fire.

Eventually, the snow water of Fuji Peak was vaporized instantly, carrying the dust of the volcanic rock that had been blown to pieces, and it rose to the sky, turning into a dense cloud of smoke and dust several kilometers thick at a very fast speed, obscuring the sky and the sun!

The duration of the nuclear explosion was short-lived, but it seemed like a century had passed.

When the surviving people opened their eyes tremblingly and looked in the direction of Fuji Peak, they were shocked to find that the sacred mountain in their hearts, the symbol of the Jeppon Empire, had been towering for thousands of years, the great and beautiful Fuji Peak, had completely disappeared, and what remained in front of them was a mushroom cloud that rose dozens of kilometers into the sky, and in the center of the mushroom cloud, it was a huge dazzling ball of light that had never dissipated, and around this ball of light, there was a huge black ring.

Above, in the sky, there was a thick smoke that obscured the sky. The smoke was boundless, completely obscuring the sky, rolling and condensing in mid-air, with teeth and claws, like a monster from another time and space!

It's hell!

It's the end of the world!

"Oh Teru Okami—"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When the earth shakes caused by a 500,000-ton nuclear explosion, the powerful longitudinal waves generated are rapidly propagating in all directions at a speed of about 8 kilometers per second. About four minutes later, we arrived at an earthquake observation point on the seashore of Rodong Province of the Republic of Korea, more than 2,000 kilometers away from Kyoto City. After about 5 minutes, a transverse wave traveling at a speed of nearly four kilometers per second also reached this observation point.

The loggers at the observation sites faithfully recorded these fluctuations, transmitting them via microwaves, one station after another, to the seismic monitoring center in Hanjing.

Subsequently, the same signal was detected at observation points from various coastal areas of the Republic and some inland areas, and the data was transmitted back to Hanking.

The monitoring center's giant computer, at a rate of 100 billion times per second, according to established procedures, is dedicated to the fast and complex calculation of this data.

A few seconds later, the central computer of the Hanjing National Earthquake Monitoring Center gave the calculation result: 138°43′51 east longitude. 6" Latitude 35°21′28 N. 8", a seismic activity was detected. Magnitude 6. Magnitude 1, hypocenter depth, 0 m.

"Coordinate positioning!" One of the heads of the duty center ordered. A young technician spun the mouse quickly, and after only a few moments, the result was in front of everyone: Jepong, 80 kilometers southwest of Kyoto, Peak Tomiyoshi!

All those who saw this result couldn't help but look at each other.

Despite the fact that Jeppen has one of the highest earthquakes in the world, and even though Mt. Fuji is an active volcano with about 10 minor "volcanic earthquakes" every year, such a strong earthquake of magnitude 6 or higher without warning is still shocking.

The most critical problem is that an epicenter depth of 0 meters - generally speaking, an epicenter depth of more than 10 kilometers can basically be judged as a natural earthquake, and below this number, it is very likely to be man-made.

And at a position of 0 meters, such a large magnitude, it basically means that there is only one possibility......

The report was quickly reported to the top person in charge of the earthquake monitoring center.

"Temporarily seized, don't make it public!" The person in charge did not hesitate at all and made such a decision at the first time. As he spoke, the person in charge quickly picked up a red telephone on his desk—a confidential telephone that he should not have enjoyed at his level, but which had been specially approved by the President's Office to be installed.

On the other end of the phone, there is the head of a mysterious department, and even the person in charge does not know who the "chief" is, he only knows that once something happens, he must dial this mysterious phone number in the first place......

"Two minutes ago, our network was monitored once 6. Magnitude 1 earthquake, the epicenter location, in Kyoto Tomichi Peak, the depth of the epicenter is 0 meters, we suspect ......" The person in charge hesitated for two seconds, gasped heavily, and said in a deep voice: "We suspect, it was one, nuclear explosion!" ”

On the other end of the phone, there was no response, and after a few seconds, the phone was hung up.

The person in charge of the earthquake monitoring center glanced at the phone in his hand, listened to the beep sound coming from the microphone, gently put the microphone in his hand back on the telephone, and shook his head suspiciously.

Of course, he would not have known that on the other end of the line, a lieutenant general with two gold star epaulettes on his shoulders was staring at a report in his hand, his other hand holding his forehead in pain, and a groan of pain came out of his mouth.

"These unconscious troublemakers, I have to wipe your ass again!" The lieutenant general had a headache, "However, this basket is too big, and I don't want to think about whether Lao Tzu can block it......"

PS: The process of the nuclear explosion in this chapter is really tragic! As a liberal arts dog, these things are already laborious, and I lost a draft in the middle! I'll go, speechless tears rushed to Youmu You!

The description of the nuclear explosion process, which is based on Zhihu, Baidu, and Tom Clancy's "ThesumofAllFearsome" (i.e., "The Shocking Nuclear Network"), and then rewritten, is inevitably full of fallacies, and I hope you don't care about it - in fact, it is full of fallacies, after all, nuclear weapons are not a good thing, and I don't want to mislead people......
