Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

However, what is really fatal is the attitude of the new Soviet Union.

They lost several high-ranking officials, all of whom were generals who had fought in the bloody civil war and the Second Ukrainian War. Unexpectedly, they all died at the signing ceremony in Oslo.

There are two concerns in the world now. One is how much area will be contaminated due to the Norwegian explosion, and the other is the response of the new Soviet Union.

Chapter 12 Detonation

When the countdown on the bomb casing reached zero, something irreversible happened.

As the Norwegian Defense Forces' bomb disposal team and relic researchers were about to arrive at the scene, the high-voltage capacitor of the implosion detonator began to store electricity, and then the ignition device close to the bomb was activated.

At this moment, time slowed down. Deadly tiny currents flowed through sensors one after another along the guidewire at an astonishing speed, announcing the order for them to enter working mode.

This is to synchronize the detonators in each part.

Then, the timer sent out a second signal - preparations for detonation were completed.

The high-voltage capacitor begins to discharge, pushing an impulse signal into the voltage divider network through a carefully designed circuit.

When this signal enters a network controlled by a set of ultra-small precision switches that control the discharge time through automatic ionization and radioactive gas, the voltage division begins to increase the current intensity through pulse compression, distributing the signal to the hundreds of connected bottom wires. No matter where the end of the wire is connected, the designer ensures that the length of all cables is exactly 1.2 meters.

Because of the requirements for detonation, it is necessary to ensure that all high-energy explosive blocks connected to it are detonated at the same time.

So, after the millisecond period of time passed, the electrical signal generated from the same source reached all the detonators. Each explosive block had three independent detonators buried, and none of them failed.

The detonator detonates the explosive block by detonating the more sensitive fulminate of mercury in the detonation sequence, which in turn detonates the less sensitive insensitive charge in the next stage, relying on the shock wave of the previous stage of the detonation sequence.

Detonation itself is nothing more than starting and transmitting a chemical reaction, which does not require any technical content.

However, here, when the detonator detonated the explosive block, what occurred was not an outward explosion, but a centripetal implosion in which the explosive force gathered inward.

The powerful block of dynamite is actually an extremely fine sheet made up of a variety of different ingredients. Each sheet is mixed with specific light and heavy metal powders to reduce the detonation speed of the outer layer of the block.

The shock wave from the detonator quickly spreads to the edge of the explosive block. Since the explosive block is detonated from the outside to the inside, the front of the blast wave also moves from the outside to the inside.

The squeezing begins here, squeezing the collapsed liquid storage lattice in all directions without any blind spots.

If a subcritical mass of nuclear fission material is buried in the center, it will soon enter a supercritical state due to compression, starting a chain reaction and eventually causing a nuclear fission explosion in a very short time.

But the collapse liquid storage lattice is different, it begins to crack...

When it is completely broken, the super-strong blast wave that has not yet dissipated will stimulate the ultra-high concentration of collapse fluid. The blast wave plays an unexpected role just like a detonator detonating explosives.

Up to this point, the truck's cargo bed had shown only signs of bulging on the outside and remained mostly intact, although that was about to change.

The collapse fluid has now leaked out, along with its unique radiation, but these are invisible to the naked eye.

What was about to happen had already begun. The bomb disposal team of the Norwegian Defense Force was still on the way, and there was only a few minutes left before the demolition work could officially begin. It was too late.

Now they can only leave it to fate and let the released energy do whatever it wants according to the laws of nature. They neither understand nor care about the intentions of their manipulators. The only thing they have to do is to vent the accumulated energy to the outside world.

Officer Walton must have been the one who saw the explosion firsthand. He stared at the carriage through the transparent eye patch of his gas mask, only three meters away from the red timer panel that had returned to zero.

The human nervous system, which measures in microseconds, does not have enough time for people to react to what is happening in front of them.

The explosion did not kill Officer Walton, but instead the first wave of leaking collapse radiation reached him.

High-energy charged particles created by the collapse fluid washed over what was left of the truck, causing the hard steel to glow like neon lights.

The high-energy rays that followed swept across the police officer's body, but the energy was smaller than the first wave.

But this difference meant nothing to Walton, who was destined to be the first to die.

The strong collapse radiation was easily absorbed by Officer Walton's body and quickly heated it to a level that the human body could not bear. At the same time, the neurons in his brain were also stimulated.

This allowed him to see many glowing spots with his eyes at that moment.

Apart from that, he was unaware of anything and fell to the ground, losing himself.

The real explosion happened.

The United States, the Soviet Union and other countries had experienced enough explosions caused by collapse fluid during the Cold War to predict what would happen next.

People at the center of the explosion, such as Lieutenant Bertram and his superior, and the Norwegian Defense Force soldiers who were carrying out blockade missions dozens of meters away, had no time to realize their fate, just like Officer Walton, as all the nearby buildings and facilities disappeared in an instant.

The destruction of the truck was just the beginning, what followed was the emission of light and heat.

As the light and heat generated by the first round of explosions faded away, the shock wave also spread outward at an astonishing speed, destroying all objects along the way that hindered its movement.

The main television relay line of the National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States is the submarine fiber optic cable, which is a kind of extremely high-quality ground communication line. However, the cable used by their local broadcast vehicle was deliberately cut before the explosion.

Therefore, the car switched to a backup line and relayed the transmission via a "communication satellite".

The company temporarily leased a satellite to relay signals to meet the needs of the large number of viewers.

Not only was the American Broadcasting Corporation present, but also the British Universal International Corporation.

They broadcast directly using communications satellites, sending the TV signal to all European customers simultaneously, and also provide the equipment to distribute the various European languages ​​between the audio uplinks, meaning that there is more than one audio line for each country using the service.

Italian television uses satellites owned by the International Satellite Communications Group to meet the needs of its own audience and benefit Dubai and Israelis who do not want to watch British TV.

When the shock wave hit like a tide, the 54 satellite uplink live broadcast vehicles working on the scene were transmitting a total of 54 sets of video signals and 170 sets of audio signals through their respective equipment, broadcasting to hundreds of countries.

In most cases, the signals relayed by these vehicles are very stable and will not make people who watch the programs feel that they have made a loss or wasted money.

But at this moment, the shock wave came, and no matter how firmly the satellite antenna on the top of the broadcast vehicle was fixed, it could not last for half a second.

In just a moment, a considerable part of the world found that their satellite communications were interrupted, and cable TV and communication systems were all paralyzed.

Sadly, the engineers who keep them running have yet to realize the disaster has struck.

They had few options and could only command the orbiting communications satellites to perform self-checks and restarts continuously in an attempt to restore the satellite communications system to normal.

Chapter 13 Diffusion

IDF soldier Dawkins did not join the patrol in the afternoon but was captured by the logistics unit to help.

After the convoy transporting supplies left, he finally got a short break, so he sat down on the steps of the loading and unloading area and leaned against the sealed boxes filled with food.

At this moment, the sky outside, which was gradually darkening, suddenly turned into a hot yellow, and then red, but it was not the soft and pleasant warm light of the sunset, but the color of bitter violet, and it had never been so bright.

The sunset would never have such light intensity, it seemed even more dazzling than the summer midday sun.

Then, beautiful auroras of various colors and shapes spread out in the sky.

Even though Dawkins is a native of Oslo and has lived in this land for 24 years, it is the first time he has seen such a beautiful aurora.

"…It's so beautiful." He stared at the sky in a trance.

But the next moment, the ground beneath him was suddenly turned up.

The heavy armored vehicle in the distance was thrown into the air like a toy and turned to one side like a toy damaged by a child, with the fragile bottom armor exposed to the sky.

The car's open rear door slammed heavily to the ground, as if it had been hit by a cannon.

Dawkins' brain didn't have time to react before the countless terrible things about the meal overwhelmed him.

The body of the car, the various vehicles in the parking lot, and the buildings near the venue all shared the shock wave for him, although Dawkins had no chance to realize it.

Even so, he was still blinded by the flash that had already hit him, as if he was slapped by the giant palm of a Titan. His ears were deafened by the overpressure effect of the shock wave, and his whole body was crushed countless times by the shock wave that bounced back and forth.

Dawkins looked like his face was just a little red and he seemed to be fine.

In fact, his body was already in a state of disrepair.

Although the radius of the power of artillery shells and bombs on personnel is determined by the number of shrapnel, not the equivalent of the bomb, humans are also very resistant to explosive overpressure - for example, the 1% lethal radius of a 1-ton TNT explosion on personnel is only more than 10 meters. For artillery shells below 203 mm, the lethal radius of overpressure in the field can be almost ignored.

However, if the explosion site occurs in places with solid walls such as city streets and buildings, the reflection effect of the shock wave will be greatly enhanced.

Poor Sergeant Dawkins had never received such training or instruction, and did not know that when facing shock wave injuries, he should try to stay away from buildings and go to open areas to reduce damage.

But then again, there was no way he could recover from the chaos.

Dawkins lost all his hearing and vision in a short period of time, and the severe tremors made it a huge challenge for him to stand up.

This time, what he has to face is not a roadside bomb IED, nor a howitzer shell flying out of a barreled artillery, but a small firecracker made of collapsed crystal lattice, whose explosive lethality is second only to tactical nuclear weapons.

More importantly, the attackers prepared more than one of these things for the signing ceremony in Oslo.

If Dawkins had been a little more sober, he would have thought that this was the result of some high-yield bomb exploding, but he didn't even have this thought. The only thing he thought about was survival.

His consciousness was shattered by the shock wave, and no matter how many times he blinked, all he could see was a bright flash of light - this was the effect of the high-energy charged particles emitted by the collapse fluid impacting the retinal nerves.

He wanted to get a better look and then leave from the VIP parking lot.

Dawkins could neither see nor hear anything, so he crawled towards the brightest spot he could see.

He was unable to notice that the backs of his hands had turned black and a gray-black substance was growing out of the flesh.

The extremely high concentration of collapse radiation caused his hands to begin to fester, which was more serious than any physical damage he had suffered in the past.

He also didn't realize that he could no longer hear any sound and all he could think about was staying alive.

……

Outside Moscow, in a bunker beneath a 60-meter-thick layer of concrete, is the headquarters of the new Soviet Aerospace Forces Defense Command.

This is an underground nuclear shelter and supreme command center built by the former Soviet Union in the last century at the cost of countless manpower and material resources.

The Soviets at the time, like their Western counterparts, designed it in the form of a theater - architects at the time believed they were designing an oversized lecture hall - because this configuration would allow the maximum number of command staff to see the data displayed on the display screens covering the entire wall.

By that time, the map displays needed by the headquarters to perform its duties would really require a curtain wall of this huge size.

According to the digital clock on the wall, it is 2134 PM local time, 1834 PM Greenwich Mean Time, and 1934 PM in Oslo, Norway.

The person on duty is Lieutenant General Peter Abramovich Ilya, a former fighter pilot who always likes to say "now". He is 57 years old and the third-ranking official here. It is his turn on duty today.

As a high-ranking officer, although he had the right to choose to be on duty at a more convenient time, he believed that professional officers of the new Soviet army must lead by example, and with good leadership, other officers and soldiers would follow suit.

Lieutenant General Peter always believed that the power of example should not be underestimated.

The on-duty combat command team surrounding him is mainly composed of some colonels, lieutenant colonels, and a large number of majors, captains, and lieutenants who are responsible for running errands and doing miscellaneous tasks.

The mission of the Aerospace Defense Command is to be responsible for the airspace and space security of Moscow and most of Eastern Europe, and to protect the new Soviet Union from air attacks.

In the missile age, in the absence of effective defenses against ballistic missiles—something both poles of the world are racking their brains over—its role is more one of warning than defensive interception.

At that time, human defense against ballistic missiles relied on geostationary orbit satellites to detect the infrared spectrum when missiles were launched.

By continuously tracking the missile, the teams at the satellite and ground control station will soon be able to calculate the missile's attack destination and estimated time of landing. There is no other way.

Even if such a method exists, the effectiveness of satellite warning systems still depends on weather conditions.

By the 30s, this early warning system was still easily affected by meteorological conditions.

Compared with sixty years ago, today's satellite early warning system has a new subsystem that specifically receives collapse radiation emitted from the ground.

At this moment, the weather is nice.

The early warning satellite fixed in orbit not only captured the explosion site in Oslo, Norway through infrared sensors that measured temperature, but also captured the smoke and dust rising from the explosions in many places with high-resolution conventional lenses.

This is not the end. The value of the collapse radiation sensor carried by the satellite suddenly soared, approaching 2/3 of the level of the explosion at the Nobuo Mountain ruins.

Chapter 14 Satellite Live Broadcast

The images presented on the integrated information display screen of the command room of the new Soviet Aerospace Forces Defense Command are completely comprehensive images taken by multiple satellite cameras and analyzed using a variety of special processing algorithms.

Russian system engineers believe that this is the most intuitive picture, so it is displayed by default.

Lieutenant General Peter did not look up at the big screen, but instead cast his eyes on a junior officer who seemed to be making calculations.

At this moment, a situation caught his attention.

The General was totally unaware that his gaze had moved completely of its own accord, and it took him a full minute to realize why.

In the corner of the display screen, several bright high-temperature spots appeared in the Scandinavian Peninsula. The temperature and collapse radiation values ​​exceeded the warning values ​​and were flashing continuously.

"…Oh my God," Peter immediately shook off the thought and shouted, "Separate this image and enlarge it!"

The junior officer in charge of operating the screen was sitting next to him and had already done so.

"In Norway, the central area is the capital Oslo, General. Comparison of explosion characteristics shows that it may be 7 collapse weapons," the colonel reported mechanically, his professional judgment suppressing his inner confusion.

"Confirm the coordinates."

"It's underway, General."

The distance between the command center and the satellite will inevitably cause the detected situation to lag behind the development of the situation.

As the various observation systems on board the satellite began to move, the heat signature emitted by the explosion fireball was already expanding rapidly.
