Chapter 88 Terrifying Destructive Power: Is That a Cannonball or a Mushroom Egg?!

Seconds ago, in the footage, Lop Nur was still a clear, deep blue.

The wind quietly brushed across the vast Gobi, kicking up fine dust.

But suddenly, a powerful flash like a newborn sun instantly tore through this tranquility.

The light was so dazzling that for that instant, the entire world was illuminated as bright as day, and all colors lost their original meaning under this extreme glare.

Immediately after, a massive fireball shot into the sky, like a giant mushroom cloud, heading straight for the heavens.

It was as if a ball of flames erupted from the gates of hell, ready to set the entire sky ablaze.

Boom, boom, boom!!!!

The fireball began to expand at an astonishing speed.

Its edges were churning with scorching red and orange flames.

The core was an extreme, near-white temperature.

As the fireball rose, a powerful shockwave spread outwards with the momentum of an avalanche.

The sand and stones on the Gobi beach were instantly lifted, rolling and surging like turbulent ocean waves.

The howling wind, carrying the power to destroy everything, swept across this desolate land.

Everyone was deeply shocked by the scene before them!

Even separated by a screen, they were stunned by this earth-shaking destructive power!

For a moment, some of them felt as if they had returned to the past, witnessing the scene of a Nuclear Weapons explosion with their own eyes!

The scene from back then was just like what they saw today!

No, to be precise, it wasn't as exaggerated as what they saw today!

The operator's voice suddenly rang out, waking everyone from their shock!

Seeing him speak with a trembling voice: "Report, General Su Chen, data has arrived from the forward observation station!"

"According to their detection, a massive fireball appeared at the center of the explosion, with a height of 4,800 meters! A diameter of 56,000 meters!"

"How much? How much did you just say???" Commander-in-Chief Zhou Jingting asked in disbelief!

The operator was startled by his words, and he quickly repeated:

"Height 4,800 meters, diameter 5,600 meters..."

"The explosion range is at least 2,400 square kilometers!"

Boom!!!!

Hearing the operator's words, everyone present was shocked!

At this moment, their heads were buzzing, as if thunder were rolling inside!

Commander-in-Chief Zhou Jingting, Commander Liu Chengzhi, and Elder Zhao, almost all the high-ranking officials crowded around the operator!

They looked at the screen!

Even if they didn't understand those parameters, they recognized the information sent back from the front line!

When they saw that the front-line data was exactly the same as what the operator had said!

Now, they completely believed it!

They believed the data that was so terrifying they dared not believe it!

The explosion range was at least 2,400 square kilometers!

What kind of concept is that?!

You have to know that Shenzhen has 1,997.47 square kilometers!

It's equivalent to destroying a Shenzhen with one shot.

"So, the bet from just now, I won???"

General Zhao Yong said in disbelief.

The terrifying number he casually mentioned, the result was even more terrifying than what he said!

It was more than twice what he said!

But according to the rules, his was the closest!

Indeed, General Zhao Yong won!

"Yes, so you are treating!" Commander-in-Chief Zhou Jingting nodded.

"Wait, whoever loses... Damn it!!! Are you kidding me!"

General Zhao Yong was just about to retort, then remembered what Commander-in-Chief Zhou Jingting had said before!

It seems it really was whoever wins treats!

Damn! (A type of plant)

While speaking, the test site staff sent another message!

"Chiefs!"

"They also said that the observation point nearly 1,000 kilometers away also received an impact!"

It could be felt 1,000 kilometers away?!

This even startled Su Chen!

But afterwards, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had ordered the observers to move to more than 1,000 kilometers away!

Otherwise, they would definitely have been affected!

At this time, an elderly bigwig said:

"These data are truly terrifying!"

"I feel that this power is absolutely no less than the greatest hydrogen bomb in human history—the Tsar Bomba!"

That is equivalent to tens of millions of tons of TNT equivalent!

At this moment, no one present spoke up to refute!

Because the facts are right here!

The power of the Electromagnetic Naval Gun is just that terrifying!

...

On the other side.

The personnel responsible for the calculations had now driven to a distance of about 1,000 kilometers from the explosion center!

They could see human towns in the distance!

In other words, their current location was already close to the edge of the desert!

If they continued walking, they would be walking out of the desert!

A young soldier responsible for calculations was a bit confused!

He looked at the person in charge: "Old squad leader, why did the higher-ups make us retreat to such a far location this time?"

"We are at least 1,000 kilometers away from the target location now!"

"I remember you said before that when testing hydrogen bombs, they only retreated to a place 300 kilometers away!"

"This time, isn't this retreat a bit too far!"

The person in charge also felt it was strange!

This was indeed a bit far!

He was just about to say that the higher-ups might not be sure about the distance for this tested weapon!

So for the sake of safety, they had them retreat a bit further!

But before the words could be spoken!

An alarm sounded on the testing equipment.

Their expressions froze, knowing that the test was about to enter the most critical stage!

They hadn't even reacted!

Suddenly they saw in the sky, as if a meteorite was attacking, smashing towards the ground!

Immediately after, there was a tremor of the earth and mountains!

They could clearly see a blinding white light suddenly appearing at the center of the test site!

Then came a huge shockwave, affecting the surroundings!

The distant mountains trembled slightly under the impact of the shockwave.

The white light was accompanied by a huge roaring sound, like ten thousand thunders firing at once, shaking everyone's eardrums.

At the same time, it echoed across the vast land, lingering for a long time.

The air at the center of the explosion was extremely heated, forming a strange, distorted scene, as if space itself had deformed under this power.

If they hadn't all witnessed this scene, they would have thought they were hallucinating!

The young soldier lay on the ground, staring at the scene at the center of the explosion, plunged into shock!

His heart was pounding.

He was glad he followed the orders from above and retreated far away!

Otherwise, he might really have lost his life!

The person in charge was an old senior; he didn't lie down but stood straight, his eyes inexplicably moist!

He slowly raised his arm to salute the explosion in the distance!

Just like back when he was young, saluting the atomic bomb explosion!

"Our country has developed another powerful weapon to protect us!"

The person in charge lowered his hand, his smile exceptionally kind.
