What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

Wu Changjiang felt his respiratory tract involuntarily exhaling air, and his entire lungs felt empty.

He had to subconsciously touch his throat to help him breathe.

Thank goodness.

This feeling of suffocation only lasts for a moment.

If it had continued for another half minute, there would have been a real danger to people at the scene.

But now is not the time to be thankful.

The feeling of suffocation has disappeared.

However, everyone could clearly feel that the airflow near the mountaintop suddenly became turbulent.

It was a light breeze before, but it was a northerly wind.

Now it has turned into a strong wind and is heading due south.

Several people wearing hats had to hold them with one hand to keep them from being blown away by the strong wind.

It took almost a full minute.

The scene quieted down, and the strong wind subsided slightly.

But before everyone could catch their breath...

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"Commander! Look!"

Wu Changjiang immediately picked up his binoculars and looked at the opposite mountain.

The telescope lens could only reveal everything that immediately caused Wu Changjiang's Adam's apple to involuntarily contract.

"this……"

"This is?"

Is this hell?

The hill where the mine was located has been completely turned into scorched earth.

From the mountaintop to the halfway point of the mine, every inch of land was charred black and covered with a layer of ash.

Whether it's a blade of grass, a large tree, or a small animal, all carbon-based organisms disappear.

The firing range looked like it had been set ablaze by hellfire; everything melted away.

"What the hell! Qin Ze!"

"Aren't you a fire extinguisher?"

"How did it turn into arson?"

Qin Ze quickly waved his hand: "Commander, don't label us like that. I understand the principle that arsonists will be imprisoned for life. We are legitimate firefighters."

"No way! How do you do fire safety? I don't understand at all!"

"If that's how you put it, then I'll have to make a fool of myself and teach you a lesson."

Qin Ze smiled slightly, then asked in return.

"Ignition, or combustion, is a typical redox reaction."

"Commander, are you familiar with the three elements of combustion?"

Wu Changjiang was taken aback.

No, do you think I'm stupid?

I am, after all, a theater commander, and I have a postgraduate degree.

How could I not know this?

"Oxidizing agents, combustibles, and temperature! Even a middle school student knows that."

"That's right!"

Qin Ze slapped his hand!

"That's what we considered when we designed this new type of chemical munition."

"To contain fires, we must start with three key elements."

"First of all, combustibles cannot be controlled because large-scale forest fires involve combustibles everywhere."

"Secondly, temperature is also difficult to control. Temperature control is extremely cost-effective in large-scale fires."

"That leaves only oxidizing agents."

Wu Changjiang: "That seems to make sense, but the oxidant is usually oxygen, so how do you control it?"

"That's easy."

"Once it's used up, that's it."

"The new type of ammunition we designed is mainly based on solid fuel."

"The main components are RDX plus a large amount of aluminum, magnesium or boron metal powder."

"After the warhead reaches the ignition point, the main explosive detonates, and oxygen is not needed at this time."

"It's just an initial high pressure that breaks the metal powder into suspended particles, releasing some energy."

"Then comes oxygen-free combustion, where the particles burn inside the explosive, further increasing the pressure and temperature."

"Finally, there's the aerobic phase."

"The metal powder grabs the surrounding air and burns violently, continuously consuming it to ensure that no oxidizer remains within the target area..."

Qin Ze hadn't finished speaking.

Wu Changjiang then realized what was happening.

"Wait a minute! Isn't this a thermobaric weapon?"

Qin Ze: "Huh? There's such a name? You know, thermobaric bomb is actually quite descriptive."

Don't give me that!

Wu Changjiang was completely convinced.

If you can make thermobaric bombs by hand, I don't believe you don't know that thermobaric bombs exist.

No wonder!

No wonder the explosion just now looked so scary!

So it's a thermobaric weapon!

Wu Changjiang, the station commander, was no stranger to this thing.

This is one of the most destructive bombs, second only to certain chemical weapons and nuclear bombs.

The temperature at the explosion's epicenter can instantly reach three thousand degrees Celsius, rendering all shelters and obstacles futile under such hellish heat.

Also.

An explosion would create an overpressure shockwave that could easily overturn vehicles and destroy brick walls.

If anyone is within the range of the shockwave, their internal organs will rupture immediately, causing death.

This isn't even the scariest part.

The worst way to die is by suffocation.

If a thermobaric bomb is fired into a relatively enclosed space, the air will be instantly sucked out, creating a vacuum.

Animals within this range will have their lungs immediately emptied and squeezed into jerky.

"I'm going!"

"Why did you have to clear 15 kilometers of land?"

"Looking back now, 15 kilometers was really a conservative estimate!"

"Your explosive yield is comparable to a small nuclear bomb."

Qin Ze smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, Commander. This is indeed the most efficient way to consume the oxidizer!"

"Get out of my way! Who's laughing and joking with you!"

Wu Changjiang was completely convinced.

Do you think I'm praising you?

yes!

Your fire extinguishing logic is theoretically sound.

But your thing is too abstract.

You've turned a perfectly good mountain into a vacuum!

You can still clearly see that some small animals were vacuum-packed at the edge of the explosion.

Even the King of Hell couldn't be more powerful than this!

but!

People's joys and sorrows are not shared.

This largely depends on where people are standing.

At this moment, Xiong Hui stared blankly at the mountain peak that had been melted by the high temperature.

Memories kept flooding my mind.

Ten years ago.

He was still a junior fire captain, serving at a port.

On an ordinary summer night, he received a mission: an explosion had occurred in the port's chemical industrial zone, requiring an emergency response.

That night, their entire squad was dispatched, but only three people returned alive.

The fire raged for three days after the explosion and could not be extinguished.

During that time, countless commanders and soldiers bravely sacrificed their lives in that fire.

Xiong Hui couldn't help but make the connection.

if!

If such methods were available at the time, why would we need to build the Great Wall with blood and flesh?

One fire extinguisher bomb can basically cover the entire burned area where the explosion occurred.

Since the explosion has already occurred, there is no possibility of secondary damage.

Moreover, there is basically no problem of people being stranded in the chemical industrial zone.

Thinking of this, Xiong Hui's eyes welled up slightly.

He took two steps forward and solemnly grasped Qin Ze's hand.

"Professor Qin, to be honest, about those previous projects..."

"It has improved our current work, but not significantly."

"But your new type of ammunition really hits our weak point; it's incredibly useful."

"We attach great importance to this equipment. After we come down, I suggest that both sides hold a special consultation meeting."

"I will definitely strive to promote this kind of good equipment to forest fire fighting throughout the province, and every brigade should have it."

Wu Changjiang: "???"

No!

Judging from Captain Xiong's eyes, he doesn't seem like a scoundrel!

Seriously?

Crazy!

Are all fire brigades in the province equipped with thermobaric weapons for firefighting?

Even Satan would get both of you tattooed on his back, the kind where he'd be too scared to open his eyes!
