The Ming Dynasty did not revolutionize

Chapter 445 Destroying the Means of Production
When the huge mushroom cloud rose up and towered between heaven and earth, the audience from America had an inexplicable feeling, as if their souls were rising with it.

My consciousness seemed to slowly leave my body, and my body completely lost control and stopped in place.

The brain enters a state of empty, instinctive, abstract thinking.

"This is a weapon that can directly destroy a city. It is a weapon that surpasses all previous weapons. It is a weapon that is like a miracle."

“Why do we have to wear sunglasses? Why do we have to prepare a town as a testing site?”

"That's why we're watching from a few kilometers away..."

This soul-distracted state lasted for who knows how long, until the mushroom cloud began to fade. Then they seemed to have received a signal and began to come back to their souls one after another.

Behind the military camp's bunker, there were bursts of exclamations one after another.

"OMG--"

"What kind of weapon is that!"

"Am I really not dreaming?"

The scene fell into brief chaos.

Because the electric horn on the scene soon sounded:
"Everyone be quiet, follow instructions and evacuate the scene, no noise or disturbance."

Obviously, the officers and craftsmen on the scene had conducted this kind of experiment more than once and had long been accustomed to this kind of life.

Today's events have become their daily routine.

So they looked at such a shocking scene without any particularly obvious emotional fluctuations, and just continued to perform their duties.

The American elites immediately fell silent.

Many people's words that they wanted to shout out were all stuck at this moment, and not a single word could be uttered.

It was as if something was stuck in their throats, preventing them from making any sound.

Because of the horrific weapons experiment just now, they had a deterrent force that penetrated deep into their souls, making them engrave the fear of the Ming Dynasty into their souls.

So when the Ming military issued an order, their souls and bodies would immediately obey it uncontrollably.

The princes were relatively quiet from beginning to end. They had vaguely guessed what this thing was beforehand, and then were simply too frightened to speak.

The officer's order instead woke them up and let them know that the test explosion itself was over.

Subsequently, personnel should be arranged to go to the scene to confirm the damage to the buildings at the test site and the condition of the animals participating in the experiment.

However, the princes no longer cared much about these details.

They now began to instinctively consider what impact the successful testing of atomic weapons would have on the world situation and on themselves if they were able to serve.

These weapons must have been directly controlled by the emperor. With these weapons, the authority of the Ming emperor once again reached a new level.

It is really possible to simply issue an order and wipe out a city quickly and easily.

With this weapon, the local forces' confrontation with the imperial court lost its practical significance.

The emperor does not need to find a specific target, he just needs to have a general direction, and he can rely on large-scale bombardment to directly eliminate specific people.

This kind of imagination is only a more powerful deterrent for ordinary people.

For the controllers of any local power, the manpower and resources they possess are relatively concentrated.

They are all in the area under their control, concentrated around the core cities.

These are the means of production that they control, the source of their real power and status, and their reliance on external forces and the power of the central court.

The terrifying power of atomic weapons can directly destroy cities in the eyes of ordinary people, but for politicians, it can destroy means of production.

Even the key players of certain forces were lucky enough to escape the attack of atomic weapons.

After the means of production he owns are destroyed, the person himself will lose his power and source of strength and will become vulnerable to the state apparatus.

Under such circumstances, what should the princes do and how should they deal with themselves in the future?

These are issues that are closely related to the prince’s personal interests.

The princes were all concentrating on thinking and judging, so on the surface they said nothing in the end, and seemed to be very calm as they followed the instructions and left the bunker.

The princes and the American elites returned to the rest area of ​​the military camp to take a short rest and restore their spirits.

After the guards and officials responsible for receiving them were ready, they arranged a convoy to escort them back to the base in the rear.

On the way back, the American elites were still replaying the process of the mushroom cloud rising in their minds, but on the surface they were all very quiet.

The mental state of all American elites was completely different from when they arrived.

The radioactive damage we learned before was a kind of invisible demonic energy. Although it was frightening, it also carried a negative sense of mystery.

The mushroom cloud bomb with a huge flash is pure power, a divine punishment. The latter's power is more pure and direct, and can also destroy people's will.

The American elites followed the princes and, as arranged by local officers and officials, proceeded to the next item on the itinerary: a visit to the South Australian uranium mine.

They all knew that both the radioactive elements and the terrifying bomb were made from uranium ore.

As they headed to the mine, they all had an instinctive fear.

This mine also gave them new stimulation again, mainly because the scale of the mine was a bit too large.

The output of these ores is not in the state of panning for gold in the sand, but is mined in large chunks like stone.

This time, there were special craftsmen who gave them a general introduction to uranium mining, mainly the speed of mining and refining, so that everyone had a clear idea.

Many people find it difficult to understand why the reserves of weapons materials with such terrifying energies seem to be so abundant.

So the quantity of that kind of weapons is not a rare product, but like the various industrial products of the Ming Dynasty, the output will also be very large?

With mixed and confused feelings, the American elites visited the mine, then took a bus back to Shanhai Prefecture, and then transferred to another bus back to Wudu Prefecture.

After resting for three days in Wudu Prefecture, they boarded the passenger ship of the Ming Immigration Company again and, accompanied by the same naval fleet that brought them here, headed north along the Australian coastline.

Their next itinerary was still not to go directly to Shuntian Province, but to the aerospace base in Johor Province.

Opposite the Lion City Port in Johor Province, on an island in the southern part of the Strait of Malacca, is the aerospace base that the Ming Dynasty officially built in recent years.

Responsible for completing experiments on large launch vehicles and various subsequent space missions.

At this space base, the American elites were not allowed to observe the rocket launch on site, mainly because there were no launch arrangements recently.

The aerospace industry is still immature and has not formed a periodic and emergency launch plan. Instead, specific launch plans are formulated at any time based on the current research progress.

But the base arranged aviation craftsmen to introduce them to the uses of rockets.

That is, communication equipment or other goods can be sent directly into space outside the Earth's atmosphere.

If the rocket's initial speed reaches a certain data indicator, this thing can continue to orbit the earth like the moon.

Depending on the distance from the ground, it can circle the earth in as little as half an hour.

It is also possible to arrange for the cargo to return to Earth at a suitable location and land at a designated location through a pre-set control program.

This cargo can be an offensive weapon or a conventional explosive, so it can be used as a weapon.

However, the current error is still relatively large, still at least within a range of more than one kilometer.

America's elite had seen atomic weapons in Australia, and it was thought that they would no longer be surprised by anything.

As a result, not long after that, something equally horrifying as atomic weapons appeared.

And they basically all immediately thought that this so-called launch vehicle could be used in combination with atomic weapons.

There is no need for personnel to fly planes to the place where attack is needed. Atomic weapons can be directly sent to the target location using carrier rockets.

As for the one-kilometer error, it is not very important because the killing radius of atomic weapons exceeds one kilometer.

The key point is the terrifying efficiency of conquering the whole world in that half an hour, which is really enough to make people's hair stand on end.

That way it wouldn't just be possible to destroy a city, but any city in the world could be directly destroyed.

No matter where he hid, he could lose his life at any time if he angered the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

All the resources he has in America will be reduced to ashes within half an hour because of the anger of the Ming Emperor.

There is no longer such a thing as “the emperor is far away” in this world.

The authority and power of the Ming Emperor will cover every place on the surface of the planet.

After visiting the rocket base, the prince and the American elites set sail again and truly entered the inland sea area of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

This time they did not land in Guangzhou, and the Ming Dynasty did not arrange for them to take a train across the inland of the Ming Dynasty. Instead, they were sent directly to Tianjin Prefecture by ship.

After landing in Tianjin, they were arranged to go to Jizhou to visit the uranium enrichment plant and atomic weapons factory.

Ming Dynasty has built a large centrifugal uranium enrichment plant, four mature plutonium production reactors, and an assembly line weapons assembly plant.

These factories achieved mass production last year and officially entered batch production this year.

Atomic bombs can now be produced at Cold War speeds.

This speed is specifically intended to make it clear to America's elites, letting them know that this weapon is a "conventional weapon."

It's really not a rare thing that requires special efforts to make a few.

Let them completely despair about this matter.
