I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

"I guess Lin is here too."

Musk pointed around the yacht he was on. The sea was crowded with passenger ships of all sizes, and all the passengers were crowded on the deck, so it seemed extremely crowded.

He took only Tom and his two sons with him and steered the yacht well away from other larger boats.

In calm seas, the risk of a large ship may even be higher than that of a small ship. If it sinks, a huge attractive eddy will be formed, and even if it jumps into the sea, it will be dragged in.

Tom Mueller: "No, he should be on a certain warship. I'm sure there are bombs installed on the bottom of every ship here. Once it is determined that Lin is on any ship, it will detonate. Those guys will definitely do that."

Musk nodded with deep understanding. He was fully aware of those dirty methods.

A few years after the original world line, the rise of virtual currency created a large number of billionaires out of thin air, but most of them died unexpectedly. Musken himself had to frequently post on Twitter that he would never "commit suicide", although now None of this has happened yet, but he has seen a lot of these things.

"Lin is a genius, and the longer he lives, the better for humanity.

Just like the CZ18...I prefer to call it the X4B, now that we know the fuel flow problem can be overcome, it shows the way for SpecaX. "

After NACA received the first super-heavy booster and assembled it into SL-X for launch, Robert placed a long-term order with SpecaX, requiring the delivery of a booster every month for the next 12 months, and now the fourth B14 Already shipped.

NACA is very satisfied with these cheap and easy-to-use first-level machines and no longer cares about whether they can be reused, but Musken has always improved them and never given up the idea of ​​recycling them.

A very big problem in the recovery of giant rockets is the uneven pressure and impact on the pipelines caused by the flow of residual fuel caused by the change of attitude when falling. The larger the rocket, the more recovery fuel is needed and the more serious the problem becomes. In this regard, the starship booster They currently have no reliable solution to the trouble they encountered.

However, more than 100 tons of fuel needed to be reserved when the Long March 18 was recovered, and it was still very dangerous liquid hydrogen fuel, but they still overcame this problem.

NACA's new order has injected another US$3 billion into SpecaX. Encouraged, Musk is already preparing to conduct another launch test at the end of December and try to recover the first-stage booster to an altitude of 10 kilometers.

For him, XAP is an opponent, but it is also a strong partner, constantly inspiring his belief.

Lao Ma was born in South Africa and became an American citizen in 2002. He doesn't care about being number one in the Arab world.

Tom: "I think..."

"Dad, look at the sky!"

The voice of their youngest son Saxophone interrupted their conversation. The two children stretched their necks on the railing and stared at the looming shooting stars in the sky without blinking.

The distance from the explosion center here is 25 kilometers, which is very close for a hydrogen bomb with an yield of 340,000 tons.

However, the first two were earth-penetrating bombs that exploded at a depth of more than 100 meters. Most of the power will be absorbed by the soil and seawater. In fact, the radius of the danger zone designated by the IAEA is only 7 kilometers. Although there are still some residual effects, they are Can be resisted by the warship's protective facilities.

The airburst bomb in a few days will be different. The safe distance will be doubled to 50 kilometers, and the circuits in the entire land control area will be affected.

Don't worry about visibility. The mushroom cloud of a 200,000-ton hydrogen bomb is dozens of kilometers high and can be seen even 100 kilometers away, so there is no need to doubt whether the ticket is worth it.

The current Dongfeng 15C has completed the first and second levels of separation. The warhead begins to dive from the highest point of the parabola. Because of the violent friction with the atmosphere, it produces bright light that can be clearly seen even in the daytime.

This was the first time that almost everyone at the scene had seen a real ballistic missile strike. The noisy crowds on the ships suddenly became strangely quiet, and no sound came out when they opened their mouths.

Because they all understand that if World War III really comes, people in all major cities around the world will see the same scene. The god of death falling from the sky is approaching quickly with the cruelest malice of mankind. Inside the black cone is a terrifying force capable of destroying hundreds of thousands of people.

This is not imagination or a science fiction movie, but a real ballistic missile warhead equipped with a hydrogen bomb. When it flies, all military bases along the route are instinctively on the highest alert. I don’t know how many radars are locked on this target, because The price of deviation may be the heaviest loss in human history.

Most of the tourists who bought package tickets to watch were full of excitement before, but when death really approached from space, even hundreds of kilometers away could not suppress the terrifying pressure.

"Jesus."

Musk's eyes began to lose focus, and the brighter and brighter light spots in the sky occupied the entire field of view of his pupils. At this moment, his brain went blank, and he had no idea how to react.

In the eyes of nearly 100,000 people, the Dongfeng 15C's cone-shaped warhead, which was less than half a man's size, became increasingly brighter, like a blazing meteor hitting the land from a northerly direction.

The meteor disappeared the moment it connected with the black line in the distance, but just over a second later, people saw the sun rising from the ground.

Although it was detonated deep underground, the path of the warhead was along the sinking route of the reactor core. The surrounding soil was not worth mentioning compared to the energy released by the atoms. A rapid downward direction was formed a few meters above the No. 1 reactor core. The surrounding expanding space and the accumulated terrifying pressure are released in this small area. While crazily squeezing the surrounding space, they also flow out along the gap when they come in. The erupting pressure is much greater than the air burst release.

The shock wave that reached the ground fastest through the soil instantly shattered all buildings and ground within 2 kilometers, and then the expanding air heated to extremely high temperatures by soft X-rays ejected a large amount of soil and gravel into the air, like bullets being ignited. Gas gushes from the barrel of the gun.

The temperature of the ultra-high temperature airflow and the material that was instantly heated to the extreme exceeds 100 million degrees Celsius, which is much higher than the 15 million degrees Celsius at the center of the sun. What they form is a bright fireball, and the brightness of the observation at this time will be completely covered. Over the sun.

From the perspective of the tourists on the ship, everything in their original field of vision was replaced by bright firelight, and the white-hot fireball completely became the new sun, as if what they saw in front of them was the sky.

Then these hot air masses with high temperature and high pressure rise rapidly until they reach an altitude of nearly 20 kilometers before contacting the cold air and spreading in the horizontal direction, forming a smoke cloud with an elongated middle and an umbrella-like mushroom-like top.

This is the most common mushroom cloud in doomsday movies. Because of the rapid drop in temperature, the brightness also rapidly decays. It is no longer the dazzling white light like before, but like magma flowing from hell, dyeing the entire sky a fiery red.
