Chapter 520 Zero Hour Nuclear Explosion

Several teams of terrorist mobile teams that caught up lost all their directions in an instant:

The so-called EMP is divided into two categories. The first category is that a large amount of current changes suddenly appear in the circuit, and the violent electromagnetic changes will interfere with all nearby electrical appliances.

This electromagnetic pulse comes singly, and it is not completely undefendable. At least with the development of war technology today, there are actually a lot of technologies that can minimize the impact of this EMP on electronic equipment. If it is on the battlefield, large-scale EMP is more of a temporary interference with wireless communications and restricts some special tactics.

But the other one comes violently, this is a nuclear electromagnetic pulse.

A nuclear explosion releases a large amount of high-energy gamma rays, which collide with electrons in the air and directly produce a large number of high-energy electrons.

Secondly, high-energy electrons are accelerated by the Compton effect to form a strong electric field. The accelerated electrons interact with the geomagnetic field again to produce instantaneous electromagnetic pulses.

Unlike those relatively small non-nuclear electromagnetic pulses, the nuclear electromagnetic pulse generated by an air explosion can cover hundreds of kilometers and its intensity is several times that of the latter.

Muramasa used a bomb to destroy the power station in Santo Domingo, and caused a line explosion and an EMP that stretched for several kilometers. He also used a micro transmitter to covertly induce a super electronic attack of comparable range, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of non-nuclear electromagnetic pulses.

But none of them was as violent as this nuclear explosion.

With the appearance of the flash, all the lights, running electronic equipment, and cybernetics that were still on were paralyzed with the explosion point as the center.

The high-intensity nuclear electromagnetic pulse even caused these electrical appliances, especially the power grid equipment, to spark and explode on the spot!

This is like the willow catkins being ignited when spring comes. This kind of explosive flame is centered on the explosion point, vaguely connected in a circle and expanding outward, sweeping across Night City.

This time it is real global darkness——

And this kind of nuclear electromagnetic pulse has a third stage. The messed-up geomagnetic field will continue to release pulses for a period of time, causing long-term interference to the power grid equipment.

The electromagnetic pulse is very fast, faster than the spread of shock waves and fireballs, but it will soon be the turn of the terrorist mobile team to feel the impact.

The Manticore's floating engine simply couldn't keep balance in such a violent explosion. Turbulence and shock waves made these big guys roll in the air like leaves.

The few muscles in their bodies pulled the already stopped cyber organs in this terrifying explosion. The fireball did not burn them, but the high-temperature air went into their lungs and stomachs through their mouths and noses.

The NCPD officers on the shore watched in horror as the missiles triggered a nuclear explosion, and did not notice that the radiation and high-energy rays created noise on the artificial eyes, and the noise quickly connected to black spots, and the black spots turned into black blocks.

But before they went blind, they still saw the Manticore smashing towards the water like a leaf under the impact of the nuclear explosion.

It's finally over -

But fear made them ask themselves repeatedly

Is it really over?

But they can't see anything anymore, so they can only pray that it's really over.

Many companies are busy and messy.

As early as when Liel entered the Afterlife Nightclub, they thought it was over here and paid full attention to the Kujira aircraft carrier of the Arasaka Group that had arrived at the edge of Night City.

Unlike the Marvel world, wars between companies sometimes occur without logic or warning.

In the Marvel world, aircraft carriers may be more of a deterrent, but here, any weapon may suddenly fire, including aircraft carriers.

But I didn't expect

Unexpectedly, the nuclear explosion paralyzed a large number of detection equipment, causing the city to fall into darkness——

To be honest, it’s not their fault. Whether it’s the NCPD, the company’s armed forces, or the terrorist mobile team, even the mercenaries who detonated the nuclear bomb in Arasaka Tower fifty years ago did not drive this kind of vehicle around!

Moreover, they have to guard against the Arasaka aircraft carrier and a floating nuclear explosion pickup truck that can rush to 400 yards. Who can defend against this? !

When the explosion occurred, they could only sigh and feel fortunate, and sigh:

These three wanted criminals are really gentle. They didn’t detonate the bomb in the city like fifty years ago.

For people near the explosion point, the shock of surviving the disaster is even stronger and more violent——

Many people fell to the ground on the spot, covering their already damaged artificial eyes, leaving tears of emotion, and some even cried to death.

Too gentle, Burger King

With the nuclear explosion, Night City's companies fell into a semi-paralyzed state, or rather, all Night City organizations fell into a semi-paralyzed state. There was no spare energy to chase the nuclear pickup truck, and no one had the energy to confirm their life or death now.

Even more troublesome was that the monitoring of the Arasaka aircraft carrier was also stagnant.

But the good news was that the impact range of the nuclear electromagnetic pulse was quite wide, even the Kujira aircraft carrier off the coast was affected.

Although it was not the most violent wave, it would indeed interfere with the communication of the entire aircraft carrier formation-

Most aircraft carriers are very timid, and the Kujira is no exception.

On the aircraft carrier island, Arasaka Saburo looked at the brightly lit Night City and suddenly fell into complete darkness, and couldn't help showing a surprised look

This was not what he expected.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

He couldn't think of where the nuclear bomb came from! There was no reason!

Saburo began to feel a little out of control of the whole thing, which made him alert instantly-

It has been fifty years, except for the collapse of the old network and the nuclear explosion of Arasaka Tower, I haven't felt this way for a long time.

Everything didn't go as planned. Except that he could suddenly go ashore.

And why is it that every time things get out of control, it's related to nuclear bombs?

Fortunately, he has a backup plan.

However, the plan needs to be updated.

The old man quietly looked at the small mushroom cloud: Night City is getting closer and closer.

Unlike what other companies imagined, the Kujira did not stop from the beginning and was always executing the docking procedure.

He was going ashore.
