Chapter 1334 Space Fortress, Ilxia Offensive Operation (9)

At first it was just a glowing point, then it expanded rapidly into a ball at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a flame that flashed intense light continuously.

This moment happened in a flash, and a small sun appeared at the bottom of the space fortress Ilsha.

The atomic flame swept through everything, vaporized the matter, and spread in all directions.

Hall was originally tracking a space fighter. Although Li Chengxi asked her to return to the Swan, not everyone could kill in and out of the fleet as easily as he did. Hall saw that the Swan was approaching, so instead of trying to kill it, it would be better to wait for the Swan to get closer.

Long-term high concentration brought huge physical consumption. Hall's eyes, staring at the crosshairs, were soaked with sweat, and there seemed to be a moment of double vision. As a result, several 40mm rapid-fire shells were deflected when he pulled the trigger.

And it was at this time that the violent flash was directly reflected on the screen of Zhoutian's display.

Whether it is a space fighter or a warship, glass is used to see outside directly. If a magic mecha like the Silver Cyclone wants to observe outside the cockpit, it can only rely on the viewfinders all over the body.

And we all know that the more sophisticated something is, the more likely it is to have problems.

The strong light instantly damaged the photosensitive elements in the viewfinder, and the image pieced together by the front viewfinder of the Silver Cyclone began to distort and twist. Mixed with the extremely bright strong light, the distorted image looked like some kind of monster with bared fangs and claws.

Hall didn't know what the strong light was, but she had to let go of the control ball that controlled her arm and pulled out the keyboard to adjust the viewfinder.

Fortunately, the viewfinder was worthy of military quality. Although the image was still unclear, it was at least usable.

At this time, Hall saw a blue engine light appear in the direction of the strong flash, followed by Li Chengxi and his huge and bloated body.

"What on earth did you do again?!"

This word "again" is very spiritual.

"We'll talk later!"

Hall saw Li Chengxi drifting and swinging in front of her, and turned his head. The Balkan gun destroyed the engine of the enemy plane that Hall had just tracked, and the latter fell into a spinning state.

Li Chengxi immediately turned his shield sideways to hold it:

"Be prepared to deal with the impact!"

Hall wanted to ask what big thing he had done, but her instinct to obey orders as a soldier was still online, and she immediately adjusted the thruster power of the silver cyclone void component.

Almost at the same time, the vaporized matter that was invisible to the naked eye smashed over like a solid body. In this star field where air battles were breaking out, every space fighter was like being severely whipped by an invisible whip.

Some collided uncontrollably, and some were broken by the impact. The battlefield where machine guns and ion beams were flying was empty, and almost every space fighter was pushed away.

Hall held the other side of the huge shield with both hands. The engine nozzles behind the two bodies were working at full capacity. Even so, they were still pushed back step by step, and were almost blown away directly.

Time seemed to slow down, and the huge pressure seemed to be transmitted to Hall through the motion capture system of the silver whirlwind, almost crushing him.

The location of the fleet was already very far away from the center of the explosion, and the slowing of time was just an illusion.

When the impact passed, Hall noticed that Li Chengxi's body was emitting a large amount of water vapor, which was the discharge of overheated coolant. At the same time, these overheated coolants would also form a water film, which minimized the damage caused by thermal radiation, which was the original function of GP02.

The shield was then put down, and Hall saw that many of the armed merchant ships that were approaching in front had collided, and the armor plates of the armed merchant ships that were closer to the explosion even peeled off and shattered, and there was nothing left except the wreckage closer to the explosion.

Continuing to look far away, in the abnormal working mode of the viewfinder, Hall saw that the bottom of the space fortress Ilxia seemed to have been bitten off, and its bottom military port disappeared directly, as if it had never existed.

"Honestly, what did you detonate?"

"A nuclear bomb, or more precisely, a hydrogen bomb."

Li Chengxi was also watching the effects of the explosion, and his voice was a little scared:

"I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful."

Everyone knows that hydrogen bombs are weapons of mass destruction, but it's hard for people who haven't seen a nuclear explosion to imagine how powerful a hydrogen bomb explosion is.

Li Chengxi didn't actually think about how powerful this thing was before launching it. After all, you see, it was launched from an 18-meter-high mecha, and the warhead size was only slightly longer than the average 380mm rocket. It felt like it might be a tactical nuclear bomb, not a strategic nuclear weapon of the level of destroying a country.

It was too wasteful to use hydrogen bombs to attack armed merchant ships, so Li Chengxi aimed at the military port, thinking that he could at least stop the work in the port area for a while.

As a result, when he pulled the trigger, he noticed that an arc-shaped red line appeared on the small map window representing the radar.

At first, he didn't realize what it meant, and he stood there stupidly waiting to see the nuclear explosion until the nuclear bomb was halfway out, and then he remembered it.

Shit, this is not the killing radius of the nuclear bomb, right?

The flying speed of the nuclear bomb is very slow, even slower than that of ordinary rockets. Its rocket booster only provides the initial power, and the rest depends on gliding.

It is precisely because of this that Li Chengxi had time to turn around and run, and ran out of the killing range before the nuclear bomb exploded.

And then, it is now.

Li Chengqi didn't understand either the mechanism or the nuclear bomb. He believed that this was a tactical nuclear weapon that could suspend the operation of the military port once it was fired.

But in fact, the explosive yield of the GP02 hydrogen bomb is 48 million tons of TNT, and the largest hydrogen bomb detonated by humans so far on earth is the Tsar Bomba with an equivalent of 50 million tons of TNT.

The radius of the violent flash and fireball produced by the explosion of this thing is as high as four kilometers, and the powerful thermal radiation can cover dozens of kilometers.

Even though the explosion power of a nuclear bomb in the cosmic environment is much lower than that in the atmosphere, the thermal radiation is still very deadly.

Flying in the void requires extremely high materials, because the ultra-low temperature in the void will cause the surface temperature of the battleship to drop to more than 100 degrees below zero. If there is star light, it will rise to more than 100 degrees. The materials must be able to withstand such Large temperature difference.

The cosmic fortress Ilsha is located in a dark star field with no starlight. The surface temperature of all battleships is very low. The huge amount of thermal radiation will instantly increase the surface temperature, so high that the material cannot withstand the huge temperature difference, causing a thermal shock. .

This is why the armor plates of armed merchant ships near the center of the explosion began to disintegrate and collapse. They were not considered to withstand such exaggerated heat radiation when they were originally designed.

As for the vicinity of the explosion center, the high temperature measured in tens of millions of degrees is enough to vaporize all materials. No material can resist such high temperatures, so now there is nothing left.
