Chapter 142 Nuclear Explosion in the Pacific (Edited) (2 more chapters today)
On the Liaoning aircraft carrier, Liu Jun, who was on duty in the combat readiness duty room, suddenly felt something. He stood up abruptly and looked towards Hawaii. A strong sense of threat came from that direction.

what happened?

Under Liu Jun's puzzled gaze, they walked out of the island and saw a Z-9 helicopter parked on the flight deck. The ground crew quickly came forward to tie it up, and then the hatch opened, and Song Xizhu walked down carrying a box.

She walked quickly towards the island. Just when she was about to enter the island, all the ground crew and pilots on the deck were suddenly attracted by a strong light that came from nowhere. They subconsciously put on their sunglasses and looked in the direction of the light.

Is that the second sun in the sky?

Before they could react, they heard the captain's anxious voice over the ship's radio: "Shut down the exposed radar antenna immediately!"

Not only the Liaoning, but other warships of the Northeast University also cut off the power to the ships' outdoor wires and equipment at this moment to prevent them from being penetrated by electromagnetic pulses!

Wow!

The sun, with a diameter of only 5.8 kilometers, shines and emits heat in the sky, continuously releasing its internal energy to the outside. The whole process lasted 12 seconds!
At this moment, the intensity of ultraviolet rays is more than 200 times that of midday sunlight, accompanied by violent gamma rays!

The people on the northwest coast of Hawaii's Big Island who were looking directly at the "sun" with their naked eyes did not realize what was happening. They were caught off guard and looked directly at the strong light. They were blinded by the strong light and it took them a long time to recover.

The external soldiers in the Johnston Atoll military base crawled into the nearest bunker to prevent excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays, which might cause skin diseases or leave any sequelae. Entering the bunker was the best choice to ensure their own safety.

Those who did not cover their skin or were outdoors had patches of skin sunburned by the strong sunlight. People kept scratching the sunburned skin in pain, and then continued to scratch the damaged area, leaving bloody marks.

The "artificial sun" in the sky lasted for 12 seconds and then slowly went out. The world instantly darkened from the scorching daylight, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and the mass-energy conversion reaction also stopped.

The previous Type 3 and the surrounding Type 1 disappeared, completely vaporized in the center of the fusion reaction, but the disaster continued.

The people who were exposed to the sun did not realize what was happening. They only knew that the second sun had set.

Gamma rays continued to radiate outward for 12 seconds, although their energy levels continued to decrease over long distances.

Gamma rays, with their extremely strong penetrating power, can penetrate human tissues and cause slight damage to the DNA molecular structure of cells, thereby damaging the immune system, and having a lasting impact on the reproductive system. They can also sow the seeds of cataracts in fragile eyes. Fortunately, the two sides are far enough away that they are not likely to have an impact on the people of Hawaii.

Whoops!

An electromagnetic pulse invisible to the naked eye is generated along with the "nuclear explosion" and quickly transmits to the surrounding spherical space, sweeping all targets in the surrounding space.

The global communication base station in Hawaii was burned by the electromagnetic pulse, and the Pacific missile early warning system lost 30% of its detection capability under the sweep of the electromagnetic pulse.

The electromagnetic pulse continued to spread to the waters around Hawaii. Under the influence of the electromagnetic pulse, the power transmission network suffered a three-level cascade failure, and a large-scale power outage occurred on the main island of Hawaii. The power outage also affected water plants, traffic lights, elevators and other necessary civilian networks. Everyone's mobile phone screen went black and never turned on again.

After the power suddenly went out in the hospital, the emergency power supply started and the engine provided backup power for the hospital.

Five satellites in low orbit, including one GPS satellite, were reduced to space junk by the electromagnetic pulse. Starlink satellites, however, were completely defenseless against this level of electromagnetic pulse. Within the naval port, all exposed instruments on docked warships were swept by the invisible electromagnetic pulse, heating electronic components and burning out delicate circuits, even causing circuit breakdowns. Even military-grade electromagnetic shielding could not survive a nuclear bomb's electromagnetic pulse.

The electromagnetic pulse continued to spread outward, and the energy level continued to weaken. It had no effect on purely mechanical equipment and the human body, but for passenger planes, disaster broke out!
A Tesla electric car was speeding on the road when an electromagnetic pulse suddenly pierced its internal control circuit. The whole car seemed to have lost control of its brakes and crashed into a store on the side of the road.

"MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! The onboard equipment is malfunctioning! Repeat! The onboard equipment is malfunctioning! Ah!"

On the airport runway, amid the captain's desperate cries, the passenger plane's onboard equipment malfunctioned due to the electromagnetic pulse, and it crashed straight into the terminal building nearby.

On the ocean, a ship was struck by an electromagnetic pulse, causing its onboard electronic and navigation systems to malfunction.
The shock wave spreads from the center of the nuclear explosion to the surrounding areas, transmitting the nuclear explosion energy layer by layer, and in the process of transmission, it gradually decreases and finally calms down.

Above the Liaoning, the clouds in the sky were slowly pushed away by the shock wave, just like a naughty child blowing water vapor.

Wow!

The huge waves brought about by the shock wave hit the Liaoning ship, making this tens of thousands of tons of steel behemoth somewhat unsteady and tilting slightly to one side. The Flying Shark on the deck deviated to one side as the deck tilted, and was then pulled by the mooring lock.

"Well"

The unprepared Song Xizhu crashed into the side of the cabin wall. At this moment, she felt someone holding her body. She turned her head and found that Liu Jun was holding her arm and steadying her body.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Inside the command center, when the high-orbit satellite resumed its surveillance footage, the people in the hall watched the global disaster following the nuclear explosion in silence.

The image shows how the shock wave affects atmospheric airflow, continuously losing energy in the process and finally dissipating into the air.

"Report to the commander! According to calculations, the atmospheric shock wave will subside within the next few hours. During this process, the intensity of the shock wave will continue to weaken. Even if there are any aftermath, Japan will block it for us, and it will have no impact on our eastern coast."

"What about our losses?"

"A low-orbiting staring satellite lost contact, three ocean-going freighters lost contact, and a passenger plane suffered no losses due to the early flight ban. However, the losses to other countries, especially the United States, are estimated to be in the hundreds of billions!"

“Is there any nuclear contamination?”

Mr. Zhou asked with concern, as for the direct damage caused by the nuclear explosion, to be honest, the impact is very small, but the secondary disasters, especially nuclear radiation, have far-reaching consequences.

"Reporting to the Commander, no residual nuclear radiation has been detected. However, Hawaii has suffered heavy losses and may no longer be able to serve as a pivot point on the Pacific front."
