Chapter 403 Three Explosions [Request for Month Ticket, Request for Subscription]

At the time of the first explosion in the mutated area, several people and other detectors of Shinning were not far from the demarcation line. They were all wearing heavy nuclear radiation protective clothing, but were still swept a few meters away by a huge wave of air generated by the explosion, almost lifting off, and everyone rushed outside as soon as they came back to God.

But they experienced firsthand that there was no flame or any clear dark force at the time of the explosion, as if it had come from the sky.

As if there was more and more gas in a plastic bag, and then a bang exploded, and those gases spread to a bigger plastic bag.

After the explosion, the area of the mutated area increased by a factor of 100 to approximately 30,000 square metres; the radiation dose measured using an unmanned detector was 13.7 Gyh, more than doubling. The explosion only lasted about four hours, starting at about 6: 15 for the elderly man in Tian Fuhou.

The second explosion occurred at 16: 03 p.m. the same day, six hours after the last explosion.

The sound of the explosion was even more dramatic, and after the explosion, the area of the mutated area was about 3 million square metres, or 3 square kilometres, which was also 100 times larger, with a radiation dose of 25.2 Gyh.

By this time, the forest of the elderly Tian Fuhou had completely collapsed, as had a large circle around the forest, the land had become coke black and the air was full of radiation.

Decades of trees, pine trees, acacia trees, asparagus trees… all burst quickly to death, disappearing one after the other.

In front of the command center screen, people saw heartache. Tian Fuhou and Zhang Maidong, the old couple, worked hard for decades to cultivate the woodland that had been transformed from desert to desert, but now it was devoured by the abyss and completely turned into a more desolate scorched earth.

When the last tree in the woodland disappeared, and the explosion didn't happen, it broke one of their assumptions.

Not all of the trees in the mutated area disappear and explode and expand.

But what about those trees? Are living beings more affected by space pulling? What are the conditions for the expansion of the region and how can it be slowed down and suspended?

More than 10 hours later, at 2: 18 a.m. on March 15, the third explosion occurred.

The area of the variation, which had increased only tenfold, had reached approximately 30 square kilometres, with a radiation dose of 30.6 Gyh.

The village of Beijin Village, it's all over.

Fortunately, no casualties have been caused, and all personnel in the village have already been evacuated, pets, poultry and other animals have been evacuated, as have wildlife that can be evacuated. Nuclear radiation can cause genetic mutations, and if you leave these animals inside, they may breed mutant organisms, viral bacteria, and so on.

The evacuation of all six small towns, including Yunlin Town, in the Bay Area, has been under way for many hours on an urgent basis.

However, the area of mutation is expanding rapidly, from less than 300 square metres to 30 square kilometres a day, an increase of 100,000 times.

If we let it continue at this rate, one more day, the whole of the desert will turn into waste, and in less than a week, the whole territory will be destroyed.

Although there is no small amount of nuclear radiation, when APC first received a call from the Yunlin Town Police Department, it was not expected that things would deteriorate so rapidly. Now that the State has brought the matter to the highest level, death orders have been issued, and the area of mutation must be prevented from continuing to expand.

In fact, no one gives the order, and everyone understands the mission.

Troika disease can also isolate epidemic areas and slow down the spread of germs; however, once an explosion occurs in this mutated area, there is an instantaneous expansion of nuclear radiation that no one can escape. Even the evacuation could not be completed so quickly, and in the end, where could it be carried out?

GOA concentrator teams, as well as multiple mobile contingents, have been deployed, and NASA has invested its greatest strength in the desert.

The GOA member States are also providing emergency support, not to mention whether the mutated areas will eventually spread to their borders, and radioactive materials will fluctuate with the wind and pollute water sources. Once the area becomes large enough and the radiation comes out, it will destroy the world.

Between the time of the accident and the third explosion, NASA was not sitting still, but had tried a variety of approaches.

The second explosion occurred after attempts were made to place some old stone towns on the border and to launch missiles to bomb the mutated areas, with no visible effect.

Attempts were then made to treat the mutated area as a leaking nuclear reactor, using helicopters to disperse boric acid from the sky to block nuclear radiation.

But the third explosion came.

“Why did it take 10 hours this time, and only 10 times more? ”

Commanders, researchers, and nuclear engineers like Grandpa Tong will not take this change lightly, and the rate of expansion seems to be slowing down! Is it because of the boric acid? Or the larger the area, the slower the expansion?

There's another thing worth noting, trees.

From the beginning until the first explosion, the mutated area was confined to Tianfuhou Forest Farm, so the area was full of trees.

But after the second explosion, only about one half of the three square kilometres were forested, and the others were almost entirely wasteland, with no more than one wild grass.

“Let's try to think of this mutated region as a living organism.” Grandpa Tong thought of this idea again, "some rituals are also like life forms, to sacrifice, to devour, to grow. So would this area need these plants and trees and other living things, and the more you eat, the faster you expand, and the slower you go? ”

This is a hypothesis, but it is also the only limited possibility that a response can be envisaged and made available.

In this uncertain situation, the dispersion of boric acid into the mutated area continued, while personnel were deployed to destroy the plants surrounding the area first.

Ten kilometres around the area are classified as "isolated circles”, where all the trees in the isolated circles are felled and transported and other plants, such as flowers and grass, burned in situ.

The isolation circle is not too large, first of all in a hurry, and secondly, there is another possibility that the deserted environment will instead contribute to the expansion of the mutated area.

And the trees in the area become untouchable, as the probe cars and mice have confirmed, so the command center did not send a large number of people in without making unnecessary sacrifices. At a radiation dose of 30.6 Gyh, a minute inside can also cause bodily harm.

But also in this case, the GOA Concentrator team is ready to send someone into the mutated area for a sensory exploration lasting five minutes.

At the same time, the results came from the Energy Research Institute, and Grandpa Tong and Shinian Yao looked at the results, not sure what that would mean.

The radioactive material in the mutated area is not in a nuclear reactor, it is a nuclear explosion, an ultra-high equivalent of a nuclear explosion.

But the location of the nuclear explosion cannot be there.
