112: The third stage begins, and the six-armed lizard man walks out of the space node

What kind of test is the third phase test?

In short, an explosives test!

High-precision instruments can't get in?

Fine.

We won't use missiles; we'll just use fuse-detonated explosives!

Seeing the super-sized explosive charges, which were carried by helicopter to the front of the spatial node, with fuses of varying lengths but all at least two meters in diameter, Yang Dian couldn't help but wipe his forehead:

"Are they all filled with high-concentration explosives?"

Su Qinglian leaned next to Yang Dian and shook her head:

"Not just high-concentration explosives."

"See that super-sized explosive charge, five meters in diameter, with a skull symbol on it?"

Yang Dian nodded.

"That's filled with fuel-air explosive."

Yang Dian's eyes widened.

What is fuel-air explosive?

To use another name:

Fuel-air bomb.

High-energy fuel, which forms an aerosol cloud when mixed with air.

After detonation, it utilizes surrounding oxygen to produce a larger explosive effect and longer-lasting destructive power.

Its explosive energy is equivalent to 3 to 5 times that of ordinary explosives, or TNT.

Coupled with the oxygen-rich environment of the Alien Planet.

Yang Dian couldn't even imagine the destructive power that a 5-meter diameter, nearly 65.5 cubic meter fuel-air bomb would unleash when detonated on the Alien Planet.

So, if you're unsure about something?

Ask DeepSeek.

He pulled out his phone and pressed a few buttons, and the final conclusion was that the high pressure generated by the detonation of a 65.5 cubic meter fuel-air bomb could reach 20-30 MPa, causing a high-temperature shockwave of 2000-3000 °C.

The direct kill radius is 50 to 150 meters, the suffocation and secondary kill radius is 200 to 600 meters, and the total affected area is about 0.3 to 1.1 square kilometers.

After reading for a while, Yang Dian felt that while a 5-meter diameter fuel-air bomb was not bad, it was just okay.

From the information he had, a Martial Arts Grandmaster's Qi and blood were like a Dragon; a casual strike from him was like a Buddha's Palm, much more powerful than this five-meter diameter fuel-air bomb.

"I still need to practice martial arts diligently! Strive to enter the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm as soon as possible!"

Just as Yang Dian reaffirmed his resolve, the fuses of the explosive charges were lit.

The mechanical claws holding the explosive charges released them one after another, and the explosive charges, large and small, burning with sparks, rained down towards the spatial node.

"Uh, the gravity inside the spatial node is one-tenth of Earth's. Based on the falling speed and the fuse burning speed, some of the explosive charges will detonate inside the spatial node before they even reach the Alien Planet, right?"

Su Qinglian nodded:

"That's right, but it might also be that the higher-ups want to test the strength of the spatial node."

Yang Dian frowned:

"Chengdu isn't the only spatial node; there are also spatial nodes in Kunlun and Tianchi. Why not test in those sparsely populated areas?"

"I don't know about that. Perhaps the higher-ups have their own ideas."

"In any case, the Think Tank people aren't fools."

Yang Dian relaxed his brows, "You're right."

As he spoke, Yang Dian, estimating the time, looked towards the spatial node again.

But the spatial node showed no abnormalities.

"Logically speaking, some of the explosive charges should have detonated inside the spatial node by now."

Su Qinglian chimed in:

"No movement came out; perhaps everything that flowed out from the explosion was sucked in by the spatial node."

"Tsk, this suction is really fierce!"

Yang Dian's face immediately contorted into an old man's frown.

"You girl, can you not speak so crudely?"

Su Qinglian puffed out her chest:

"Come on, tell me, where do I look like a girl?"

Yang Dian was speechless and turned his head away, not looking at the self-righteous Su Qinglian.

When his gaze fell on the projection, he was stunned for a moment, then twisted his neck and stood up.

Along with him, 36 others also stood up.

Even Brother Dao stood up.

"Six-Armed Lizardmen?"

"Give its mouth a close-up, yes, right there."

"There's drool, and bits of meat in its teeth!"

"Tsk, this should be the Alien Planet's high-level creature that Elder Shen just mentioned, right? I didn't expect it to also be a Lizardmen, just with two more arms than the Four-Armed Lizardmen."

"If there are Four-Armed and Six-Armed Lizardmen, will there be Eight-Armed and Ten-Armed Lizardmen?"

"With a casual slap, it snapped a large tree that would take two people to embrace. This strength is indeed much greater than that of the Four-Armed Lizardmen. A full-force strike from a Martial Artist with Qi Circulation Throughout the Body would be about the same, wouldn't it?"

"It's a bit like destroying a street, Elder Shen, is it our turn to go on stage again?"

Professor Shen Congnan took out a walkie-talkie, spoke a few words, then nodded, and clapped his hands.

Engineering robots entered the conference room, carrying a row of high-voltage electric net capture balls.

"High-voltage electric net capture balls, everyone should be familiar with them."

"Try to capture them alive; perhaps we can pry a lot of things out of these Six-Armed Lizardmen's mouths."

Yang Dian was the first to step forward and take a few balls.

"Elder Shen, wait for my good news."

Seeing Yang Dian take the lead, those people couldn't help but rush forward competitively:

"Young Yang, don't you understand respecting your elders? Let us old folks go first in such matters! Why did you take three balls at once, you brat? I want to take a few more too!"

"He Qiang, you brat, you're talking about others, you're only in your early 40s, aren't you? I'm almost 50; I'm older than you, why don't you let me?"

"Damn it, with all these restrictions in the country, how long has it been since I had a good fight? You're telling me to respect my elders? I respect your big head!"

"When things here are over, I'll spar with you!"

"Hey, Brother Li, I was just kidding ~"

… Yang Dian ignored the clamor behind him; after getting the electric net capture balls, he rushed towards the passage.

In his eyes, what emerged from the space-time node were not Six-Armed Lizardmen at all.

They were clearly walking merit points!

The Six-Armed Lizardmen's combat power was close to, or could even be compared to, street-level. Plus, given their special nature, who knew how many merit points one could get by capturing one?

He had to seize them fiercely.

Passing through the passage, kicking up a gust of wind, Yang Dian sped towards the spatial node amidst sporadic gunshots.

As for why the gunshots were sporadic?

The Alien Planet creatures emerging from the spatial node were not as numerous as imagined.

Since the spatial node stabilized, a total of just over 3000 Four-Armed Lizardmen had escaped.

This number wasn't even enough to fill the teeth of the anti-aircraft gun turrets on the city wall.

They could be torn to shreds in minutes.

So, currently, the focus was on capture; only when the Lizardmen approached within a hundred meters of the high wall would there be a barrage of firepower.

Casually severing the heads of two Lizardmen he encountered, and kicking the Lizardmen heads to an approaching drone, Yang Dian then attacked the Six-Armed Lizardmen that had locked onto him and were rushing towards him from both directions.

Catching sight of the Lizardmen head steadily caught by the drone in his peripheral vision, a thought suddenly occurred to Yang Dian.

"If I joined the football team now, I should be able to lead the national team to a championship for fun, right?"

As he murmured, Yang Dian crouched low, his Qi and blood forming Dragon claws that gripped the ground, sliding past the Six-Armed Lizardmen's side to its back.

Then, without waiting for the Lizardmen to react, he directly kicked its joint.

"Crack ~"

Amidst a crisp sound of bones breaking, Yang Dian raised his right hand and fiercely elbowed the back of the Six-Armed Lizardmen's head, which was half-kneeling on the ground.

"Brother, have an elbow ~"
