Chapter 911 Nuclear Explosion

As soon as the mastermind finished speaking, an indescribable strong vibration came from outside the well. Although multiple protective measures had been added around Qi Lin, when the shock wave reached the safety well, he was still shaken for a moment. Lost consciousness.

People who have not personally faced a nuclear explosion will never be able to understand the heart-stopping destructive power. After the light radiation and shock waves that destroy everything pass, the entire world is left with only infinite silence.

Qi Lin could clearly feel that the temperature of the physiological maintenance fluid was rising rapidly. Even if the safety well had a thick insulation layer, it could not isolate the large amount of heat included in the light radiation - this location was far away from the nuclear explosion. The central area is too close. Even if this is not a simple safety well, but a nuclear shelter that meets alliance standards, if a nuclear bomb is directly hit, the people in the shelter will suffer extremely heavy casualties. .

In fact, only about two-thirds of the shelters that can successfully support the end of a nuclear war, one-third of which have been completely destroyed...especially those shelters built underground in international metropolises, those places are It is a key target for hostile forces. Even if the shelter is built two hundred meters underground, an earth-penetrating bomb loaded with a nuclear warhead can penetrate the thick rock formation and directly destroy the entire shelter.

The temperature of the physiological maintenance fluid is still rising, and a large number of cracks have appeared on the integrated alloy steel frame used to support the safety well wall, and some parts have even deformed. This makes Qi Lin couldn't help but worry about the safety of the next second. Will the well simply collapse and bury itself at the bottom?

The safety well is sixty meters deep, and the geology in this area is made of hard rock. If he is really buried in it, even if he is a fifth-level evolver, it will not be easy to escape.

"The yield of this nuclear warhead is already small. The shock wave has passed. You can leave the safety well now." As soon as the mastermind finished speaking, Qi Lin could not wait to float towards the wellhead - for him, As long as he can avoid the most direct and lethal light radiation and shock waves, nuclear explosions will pose no threat to him. Not only is there no threat, Qi Lin will also be able to gain a lot of benefits from the subsequent nuclear radiation.

The wellhead was sealed with a metal cover more than two meters thick. As soon as Qi Lin's hand touched the valve, he felt an amazing amount of heat coming from above.

Fortunately, the liquid in direct contact with the metal cap absorbed a large amount of heat, otherwise the valve would probably have been burned red by light radiation.

There was some deformation inside the valve, but fortunately it was not a precision machine. Qi Lin directly used brute force to unscrew it, but just when he wanted to push open the cover and drill out the safety well, the mastermind It was a sudden voice that stopped his movement.

"Wait a minute... The first mastermind temporarily mobilized a monitoring satellite and is checking the surface of the explosion area. You will be discovered if you go out now."

There was no other way. Qi Lin could only continue to soak in the safety well filled with physiological maintenance fluid. It was not until almost twenty minutes passed that the mastermind said to him: "Okay, you can go out now."

The manhole cover was opened, and a large amount of high-temperature steam escaped from the safety well. When the steam was almost gone, Qi Lin poked his head out of the well——

"Is this the world of the strong?...Uh, wait, I seem to have said the wrong line..."

The surface of the earth seemed to have experienced a catastrophe, and some areas were even in a state of vitrification. As for the two scaly-skinned giant apes, they had turned into two large lumps of coke-like material, and the remains torn apart by the shock wave were scattered. All.

Looking up towards the center of the nuclear explosion, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the ground. The top of the mushroom cloud extended to the sky and was connected with the radiation cloud in the sky.

Qi Lin can feel that the radiation concentration in the surrounding environment has reached an absurd level at this moment, and a large number of charged discrete particles are constantly spreading to the surroundings... Nuclear radiation, this is the most embarrassing thing about nuclear bombs. , the damage caused by optical radiation and shock waves only lasts for a moment, but it will take decades or even hundreds of years for nuclear radiation to be completely dissipated. Severe radiation areas such as those listed as human forbidden areas will be affected for a long time in the future. This status quo will remain for some time.

If Qi Lin remembered correctly, this should be the first strategic nuclear warhead detonated in the real world after a nuclear war... This reminded him of that familiar line -

"War, war never changes..."

The nuclear winter has just passed, and before humans have even successfully returned to the surface, the shadow of war has once again covered the land that has been reduced to wasteland.

With emotion, Qi Lin did not miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the nuclear radiation in this area was the most intense, he desperately drove the energy-gathering vortex, absorbing the radiation energy floating in the environment... Now the surrounding radiation The concentration is even more exaggerated than in the radiation pool built by the master brain before.

After all, this is the energy released through violent fission, which is naturally more intense than the relatively gentle method of the radiation pool. The high concentration of radiation in this area will continue for several days, and then it will Slowly dropped to the level of a general heavy radiation area.

Existing severe radiation zones are basically created in this way. Areas such as Victoria Harbor, Beijing, and New York that were hit by nuclear bombs will form radiation zones that are even larger in scope and last longer. Be longer.

If you want to purify this kind of radiation zone, you need to consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and the progress is very slow. Even after humans return to the surface, it is estimated that no organization will do such a thankless task - the entire surface of the earth now , the area suitable for human survival is probably only one-tenth of what it was before the war, or less.

"Now... Stronghold Zero should be considered safe for the time being, right?" Qi Lin stepped on the hot ground and asked the mastermind.

There was no response, and there was not even a current noise coming from the earphones - the high-intensity radiation directly turned the communication equipment on Qi Lin into complete waste.

"If you can't contact the main brain... it will be a bit troublesome..." Qi Lin looked at the communication device that couldn't even be turned on, and shook his head dejectedly. To be honest, this kind of opportunity was very rare, and he really wanted to Stay here to let the energy-gathering vortex absorb its fullness. However, the situation in the outside world is changing rapidly at this time. The organization and the Revolutionary Alliance are still fighting fiercely at Jiange Fortress. If Qi Lin continues to stay here, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to cutting off all ties with the outside world. connect……

etc!

Qi Lin suddenly thought of something. Not long ago, after the nuclear bomb exploded, the mastermind could still communicate with himself. It was not until he drilled the safety well that the communication was interrupted. At first, Qi Lin thought the communication equipment was ionized. It was destroyed by radiation, but if you think about it carefully, even if the communication equipment was not scrapped, radio signals would not be able to pass through this radiation area full of chaotic electromagnetic waves...

How did the mastermind keep in touch with himself just now?

...safety well!

Qi Lin suddenly realized that there must be an emergency communication line installed in the safety well. The reliability of wired communication is much stronger than that of radio. In addition, the physiological maintenance fluid can block the interference of radiation in the well to the greatest extent. No wonder that in the nuclear explosion After it happens, the mastermind can still communicate with itself.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin immediately ran back to the mouth of the safety well and jumped into the well again.

Dive to the bottom of the well, Qi Lin carefully searched along the well wall, and sure enough, he found an inconspicuous secret slot. After opening it, it was revealed that there was a signal transceiver equipped with eight antennas and a set of waterproof cables. Communication equipment.

Qi Lin's radio was no longer working, and he couldn't receive the radio signal from the signal transceiver. He could only pick up the set of wired communication equipment and put the microphone to his ear——

"I thought you wouldn't notice this..."

As soon as the communication was started, the familiar voice of the mastermind came from the other end of the microphone.

"...Indeed, I almost ignored this..." The physiological maintenance fluid will not choke Qi Lin, so he can also speak underwater, but his voice becomes very dull.

"I know that you plan to stay in the nuclear explosion zone and continue to absorb radiation energy. I have no objection to this. After all, you need to quickly improve your strength to complete the various tasks I will give you next. There are not many such opportunities."

"But what about the Jiange Fortress?"

"The Revolutionary Alliance army has arrived at the city, and all the organization's outer defenses have been removed. Only the Jianmen Pass Tower is still struggling to support itself. Although the situation puts the organization at a huge disadvantage, overall It is said that the battle situation is quite stable, with the existence of underground passages, Jiange Fortress is not an isolated city, and the Revolutionary Alliance will not be able to capture it for a while." The mastermind told Qi Lin the latest news on the battlefield.

"That's good. If Jiange Fortress falls, there will really be no way to recover."

"According to my calculations, if the Revolutionary Alliance does not increase its troops and the organizational commanders do not give up voluntarily, Jiange Fortress can still sustain for at least five days." The mastermind analyzed.

"Five days..." Qi Lin naturally knew that these five days were the time left for him to absorb energy. When Jiange Fortress was about to fall, he would definitely not be able to just sit back and watch.

Once the Jiange Fortress is captured by the Revolutionary Alliance, the organization will instantly fall into a situation of continuous defeat. At that time, the organization will no longer have the ability to organize the implementation of the utopia plan, and there will be no organization to contain the attention of the mastermind. With his strength, Qi Lin's next actions will be even more difficult.

"By the way, are the new hideouts ready? If I take action then, the mastermind will definitely know that Stronghold Zero has not been destroyed. By then, there will be no way to deceive it." Qi Lin proposed. This hiding place is not for his own consideration. If he is alone, there is no problem even if he spends the night in the wilderness every day. But now that there is another Persephone, then this issue needs to be carefully considered. .

"Within these five days, I will solve this problem as soon as possible. You don't have to worry." The mastermind said, "What you need to worry about is the monitoring satellite above your head."

"Monitoring satellite? Hasn't it already left?"

"What's left is just the satellite that temporarily changed its orbit. In addition, every day from 7:15 to 7:22 a.m., 11:00 a.m. to 11:19 p.m., and 3:50 p.m. From ten minutes to three fifty-five, there will be surveillance satellites passing directly above this area. This area is different from Stronghold Zero. There is no interference-generating device to disguise it. The surveillance satellites can take pictures of the scene on the ground. It’s very clear that you’d better hide in the safety well before these periods come. If it is photographed by the surveillance satellite, we will have to change our original plan.”

"I know." Qi Lin said, silently writing down these points in time.

"Also, if there is an emergency, I will directly activate the alarm in the safety well. You'd better not go too far into the safety well."

"Yeah." The so-called emergency naturally refers to the battlefield of Jiange Fortress. After all... this is a real war, not a simulation program calculated by a computer. Accidents can happen at any time, even if the mastermind is at this time Qi Lin would not be surprised if he suddenly told Qi Lin that Jiange Fortress was suddenly breached by the Revolutionary Alliance.

When the war has not yet reached its final moment, no one knows what will happen next.

…

The use of city walls for offensive and defensive warfare was very common in the cold weapon era. In that era when the only long-range attack methods were trebuchets and bows and arrows, city walls could provide the defenders with great advantages - whether in the East or the West, in any war and strategy. According to relevant ancient books, in any battle where both sides are to fight around a city wall, the overall strength of the attacking side must be much stronger than that of the defending side. During the battle, the side that owns the city wall can even destroy the damage caused by the battle. The ratio has been raised to a very exaggerated figure.

This situation spanned the entire cold weapon era, including the period when hot weapons first appeared. It was not until the middle and late stages of World War II that after various powerful weapons were invented, the role of city walls was greatly Weakened... Until modern times, the existence of the city wall basically only had the meaning of an ancient building, and was basically no longer used as a fortification.

But Jiange Fortress is different. The walls of the fortress are not only composed of the city wall itself - various high-tech defense facilities such as close-range defense guns, giant energy shields, electromagnetic interference fields, Phalanx defense systems, etc. once again define the word "city wall". Meaning, in the face of the organization's iron wall-like defense, the Revolutionary Alliance's offensive pace had to slow down——
