Chapter 583 Thousand-headed Chrysanthemum

"I saw fire filling the sky, lighting up the whole world."

When Jianghu TV reporter Ohno Yusuke stood on the top of the mountain in Tanzawa Forest Park in Iwa City, he told tens of millions of viewers what he saw.

Pancheng City is located on the edge of the control area and is also close to the coastline. Because of the cleanup work, it is much more prosperous than before.

Many residents who moved out of the controlled area chose to stop here. The IAEA also needed to purchase supplies from here. A large number of people who could not buy ferry tickets and wanted to see nuclear explosions also came to Ipan City.

It is still under the jurisdiction of Toshima Prefecture, and a high-speed express train connecting Edo has been opened, which can be reached in two hours.

Iwaki City is also a well-known tourist attraction. The combination of these characteristics has caused the immigrant population to skyrocket within a few days. When Ohno Yusuke came to the local area, he could see tents everywhere because the local area simply could not provide so many accommodation services.

This was true even if he was a reporter from Jianghu TV. They drove up to the highest point of the nearby forest park and set up camp, setting up cameras and waiting for the nuclear explosion.

The entire mountain was also crowded with people. Although everyone strongly opposed the IAEA's actions on the Internet, it did not mean that they did not want to witness a real nuclear explosion.

Ohno Yusuke was just a new reporter. The old section chief in Taiwan directly rented a tourist plane and took the best team to prepare to take off two hours after the nuclear explosion to grab first-hand video materials.

There are quite a few media that have this purpose. The IAEA does not reject this type of behavior. It just requires that they can only shoot along fixed routes after they are opened. Otherwise, they will be shot down by warships for unknown purposes.

But Ohno Yusuke knew that not all media were like this. He saw reporters from China News Agency flying to Tomishima Airport a few days ago. They would definitely get first-hand information together with the military. Several other TASS, AFP, and BBC and CNN are similar.

Ohno Yusuke was worried about not being able to see anything in Iwaki at first, because the IAEA's prior notification had already stated that underground nuclear explosions would greatly weaken the impact. The core explosion area would not exceed 30 square kilometers and the radius would be less than 3 kilometers. .

The straight-line distance between Pancheng and the nuclear power plant is 38.5 kilometers, and he doubted that he would not be able to take any pictures.

But the facts completely overturned his imagination. Just after 11:50, he and the cameraman kept checking whether the camera was aligned and rubbed their hands to resist the low temperature.

There were not many clouds in the sky, and it was very clear at this time. There were countless people making noises around, and I could smell the smell of rice balls and shit at the same time. It was terrible.

The photographer remembered that there were two noise-canceling headphones in the car. Ohno Yusuke, who was flexing his hands and feet, immediately opened the door and rummaged around. As soon as he put his head in, he heard several female screams.

He immediately raised his head and saw two suns appearing in the world: one above and one below.

There is almost no difference in brightness between the two suns. Most of the sun's rays below are blocked by the terrain, causing large hills and trees to cast extremely long shadows, and everything in the distance is swallowed up by white light.

At this distance, it was mostly blocked by the terrain, and the bright light during the explosion did not irritate the eyes like it did at sea. Ohno Yusuke completely witnessed the first 5 seconds of the explosion.

After 5 seconds, the bright light on the ground began to dissipate, and at the same time, a mushroom cloud began to rise upward, and at the same time, the ground under his feet began to shake.

This feeling is not unfamiliar to people from the island country. Ohno Yusuke had already roughly figured out the magnitude of the earthquake when he was holding the camera stand - it was less than 6 magnitude, just a small earthquake, no problem.

It was precisely because of this move that he did not fall to the ground due to lack of reaction like the photographer, and witnessed the next unforgettable scene:

The stipe of the rising mushroom cloud was dark red, but the top was whitish orange. It illuminated the northern sky as it rose, artificially splitting the world in half.

The sky in the north was completely dyed a rich golden color by mushroom clouds, like a golden autumn evening - if you ignore the rolling mushroom clouds, but above and behind them was still the clear winter sky. Two completely different celestial phenomena merged together, giving People feel like they are in a trance from another world.

Ohno Yusuke thought of his childhood. It was an evening in the countryside. A fire was lit with wood for heating in front of the house. In his memory, the flames were higher than himself, and the sky in his eyes was also dyed red.

Now, the nuclear bomb had truly ignited the earth and sky, burning the ground beneath his feet with a flame more violent than the sun.

"Yusuke, Yusuke!"

The cameraman finally got up, rushed to the camera, and was immersed in the recording.

Tomishima Airport, 12:21.

Two H-6s numbered 2210 and 2220 took off from the runway one after another. At this time, nearly 30 minutes had passed since the explosion, and sampling of the explosion area could be carried out.

Several Tu142s, P8s and U2s also took off at the same time, and they also performed the same mission.

Sampling the mushroom cloud after a nuclear explosion is the most intuitive and fastest way to determine the effects of the explosion, and it needs to be done before the mushroom cloud has completely spread. This also means that the aircraft and crew members will inevitably be exposed to radiation.

However, these are not unfamiliar to the three parties to which these aircraft belong. Now their protection methods are much stronger than in the past, so there is no need to worry too much about radiation issues.

As for both Faguo and Daiying, they chose to fly with Aramco's aircraft. Taoguo had such aircraft in the past, but they were retired and stored long ago after the nuclear testing stopped. Daiying, which has worse military ethics, is certainly not much better.

On board the H-6 modified observation aircraft numbered 2220, apart from the crew, there were mainly reporters from China News Service and several observers from Xinyuan.

The 2210 aircraft is equipped with a working group, and the 2220 aircraft is mainly used to collect image data.

The photographers of China News Service not only leaned on the portholes to take pictures, but even squeezed into the cab to take first-hand shots. These images will eventually be displayed to the public.

The issue of confidentiality is not a big problem at this time. Anyway, the next two are in the same process.

But the two most special passengers on this bomber are undoubtedly the special observers from Xinyuan: Xiao Gangtian and Guo Shen.

The two of them came to fulfill Lin Ju's long-cherished wish of crossing the mushroom cloud. Because they knew it was unrealistic, they volunteered to win these two tasks.

Xiao Gangtian, who had just seen the explosion scene in the bunker, now changed his angle to observe. Because the flight altitude was very high, they were now just level with the top of the mushroom cloud, and they could see the whole bird's eye view.

"This is a blood-red chrysanthemum."

"Old Xiao, are you okay?"

Guo Shen saw Xiao Gangtian's eyes full of confusion and was a little worried about his state.

"I'm fine, very fine, I've never seen anything like this, only the universe can compare to it.

I'm going to do it tonight, I can't miss it. "
