Chapter 972: Strike first and gain the upper hand, strike later and suffer disaster!
Boom!
The sound of successive explosions was not just one, but spread continuously throughout the wilderness.
Unlike the deep and shocking thunder, it is difficult to use an analogous sound to describe the feeling of this explosion.
To describe it, it's like someone holding a drumstick and banging it on the ear.
This is...a change in air pressure!
Only when a powerful bomb explodes will it cause a vertical vortex of air!
"I still feel this way even though I'm more than a hundred kilometers away."
"Hey, are these people crazy? They actually launched a nuclear bomb?"
A nuclear bomb exploded next to me, so I would be lying if I said I wasn't panicking.
Although he didn't have much time in the wasteland at the beginning, Soma himself fired one at the false god Tengu himself.
But that's... dealing with aliens!
The situation in Qinggang City makes it necessary to use this kind of suicide attack that hurts both sides?
"Master, according to my judgment and analysis, that should not be the nuclear bomb you understand?"
"no?"
"Based on the detection of air pressure and the visual explosion amplitude, the yield of this bomb should be around 5,000 tons of TnT, and it was not detonated at high altitude. The deterrence is far greater than the actual damage."
"Isn't it detonated at high altitude?"
Compared with humans' slow perception of explosions, instruments like Zero equipped with many sensors are much more accurate.
After a little calculation, the explosion location was even calculated based on the detonation amplitude in the air.
The location is exactly in...the northern suburbs!
Good guy, someone actually dares to take action against the most powerful Qinggang Sanctuary. Is he trying to overturn the table?
Sumo's face was heavy, and he couldn't think about these trivial issues for the time being, and hurriedly walked towards the military camp.
At the same time, Fenfen also issued an emergency evacuation message in the chat channel.
"Evacuate, everyone immediately leaves Hope Village and goes to other locations in the territory. Do not gather!"
"Do not return without my order!"
No matter how small a tactical nuclear bomb is, even if it is just a ground explosion, its power can clear all objects within hundreds of meters.
With the heavy fog blocking it, Sumo was not worried about the opponent's ability to cover the attack after the personnel dispersed.
What's more, even if they have obtained the coordinates of Hope Village.
If you want to blow it up, then blow it up.
Anyway, the green hills are still there, so there is no need to worry about running out of firewood.
Since the madman in Qinggang City dares to directly use a nuclear bomb to explode himself, then everyone should stop playing!
"Gather our men, bring weapons and ammunition, and head to the edge of Qinggang City."
"Whoever dares to drop a nuclear bomb on our territory must be prepared for our crazy revenge!"
"yes!"
After the cotton was in place, the weapons factory was already at full capacity and produced tens of thousands of bullets, more than enough for a contact war.
The military camp that had been silent for a long time suddenly responded, and hundreds of people quickly began to put on their equipment.
About ten minutes later, all the transportation vehicles were mobilized and parked neatly in front of the military camp.
"Go forward, it's our time to take the field!"
"Be optimistic about the players around you. Today is a good time to test the results of recent training."
...
In Qinggang City.
The impact of this explosion in the dense urban agglomeration has been dozens of times greater than that in the Tianyuan territory hundreds of kilometers away.
The huge first wave of explosion impact and the subsequent earthquake shock wave have caused the radioactive creatures lurking in the corners of the city to fall into a state of fear and mania. The integrated formation emerged from the hiding place and began to escape.
Occasionally encountering humans wandering outside, they also lose their usual aggressiveness and just flee from the center of the explosion regardless.
And in the northern suburbs of the explosion point.
In the industrial area of Qinggang Shelter, there were already unconcealable flames rising into the sky.
Behind the high wall, the diffuse smoke mixed with the stench of explosive gas continued to rise.
The air in the deflagration heat wave zone was distorted, and all the fog that was originally diffuse was evaporated.
Looking at the Qinggang soldiers filing out from inside the high wall, and the formations of tanks and chariots that were gathering into formation and spreading out, the wanderer Osmond licked the corners of his mouth and forcibly suppressed the feeling in his chest that was almost ready.
A beating heart.
Nearly fifty years, no, I should say nearly a hundred years.
There has never been such a grand conflict in Qinggang City!
Moreover, the strength of the two sides fighting is completely unequal.
On one side is the Qinggang Shelter, the oldest and most established one in Qinggang City, and on the other side are the wanderers and plunderers who come from humble backgrounds.
No matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of winning the battle head-on.
"When all Qinggang's troops emerge from this turtle shell, we will quickly open the gap and enter."
Osmond shouted loudly.
Beside him, there were two self-propelled artillery pieces with a caliber exceeding 115mm, which were filled with shells and ready to fire.
About sixty people held crude rifles in their hands and were waiting behind the artillery, ready to shoot.
To be honest, ambushing the Qingang Sanctuary, the most powerful force in Qinggang City, was something they had never dared to think about before.
Especially during the struggle between Pingtan Shelter and Harbor Shelter a few days ago, the sudden appearance of the air formation had undoubtedly established the level of force in the entire city.
Let alone the Wanderers, even the top-ranked Gopher Old Shelter combined is unlikely to be an opponent.
But why it appears here.
The reason is simple, their goal is not to defeat the opponent.
But...
"After entering the city, follow the map we obtained before and quickly go to the place where the resources are placed."
"The robbery time is only half an hour, don't be greedy, don't fall behind, you only have one chance!"
Osmond reiterated his goal again and gave instructions for caution.
to be honest.
When he first heard the first half of the plan, he just felt that these wanderers were crazy.
Even the so-called Wandering Alliance found an ancient metallic hydrogen bomb known as the fourth-generation nuclear weapon in the weapons arsenal of the Red Core Sanctuary, which can be dozens of times more powerful than TNT at the same weight.
But relying only on this bomb, there is no possibility of winning the war.
The gap is too big.
It's like a child fighting an adult with a knife. If you can't kill the opponent with a fatal blow while he's sleeping, then the ensuing situation can only become a one-sided crushing.
However, upon hearing the second half of the plan, Osmond only felt that the person who made the plan was simply a "genius."
The world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
If the next Clear Harbor meeting and Clear Harbor Sanctuary just unite with other gophers to launch an attack on the outside, then forget it.
But if they want to be the local bullies here, then all the wanderers will be the first to be threatened.
As the saying goes, strike first to gain strength, strike later and suffer disaster.
Looking at the industrial area in flames in the distance, Osmond's eyes flashed with greed, and his heart became more and more excited.
After grabbing this ticket, they can leave Qinggang City with a large amount of supplies and go to other parts of the world to look for opportunities.
Anyway, with the heavy fog blocking the signal, even if Sunny Harbor Sanctuary wanted to pursue it, they would have no way to start.
Furthermore, for wanderers, home is wherever they go.
They have stayed in this damn Qinggang City for such a long time, and they are already tired of the tasteless and meandering life.
If only I could leave some unforgettable history to this city before leaving, for a group of people whose status at the bottom of the city is comparable to that of rats...
What a huge temptation!
"Boss, the first wave of signals has been sent from the alliance."
At this time, the deputy captain of the team came over, holding the instruction sheet sent through physical transmission and reporting:
"They will send a group of people to lure these soldiers away and let us launch a general attack in half an hour."
"In addition, the alliance leader said...if someone finds this thing, he is willing to exchange it for fifty tons of grain."
"what?"
Osmond narrowed his eyes slightly, took the order sheet and looked at it.
An antique thing that looks like a car engine, with the letters RIP engraved on it.
There are a lot of winding circuit tubes inside it. Judging from its appearance and the promise of fifty tons of grain, it should be an important object.
"Don't worry, we'll wait until they charge before we charge."
"As for this thing, the devil knows where we can find it." Handing the order sheet back, Osmond held the shiny rifle in his hand and glanced at the interior of the industrial area with his sharp eyes: "Don't be afraid of wasting the shells later, anyway.
We don't plan to take these two cannons away, so let me blast them with the cannons, and let these arrogant gophers know clearly that we wanderers are not easy to mess with."
The vice-captain nodded excitedly, his face full of excitement.
"Don't worry, boss, I'm the best at fucking!"
...
The edge of Tianyuan territory.
It is about five kilometers away from the western suburbs of Qinggang City.
Sumo, wearing a power armor, was standing on a high slope, constantly using Zero's scanning capabilities to collect information from distant explosions.
Several tanks from the Red Spider Caravan also came over, arranged in a straight formation, with cold cannon barrels arranged neatly on them.
The scattered caravan guards were patrolling nearby.
Luke, who had mostly recovered from his injuries, also went into battle and personally led the victims to the frontline position.
Regarding this sudden battle, not only Sean was a little confused, but even Peng Qiu, who had just visited Qinggang City in the morning, could not figure out the situation.
"What happened? Are they crazy?"
Sean stood at the bottom of the chariot, his face full of uneasiness, and it was obvious that he was a little afraid of this sudden battle.
The power of the first wave of explosions just now far exceeded the upper limit of conflict warfare in this city, and was even close to the level of a large-scale gathering place war.
If the outbreak did not occur in the city, but where the caravan was stationed.
So needless to say, everyone has been blown up to the sky by now!
"Who knows what happened? It was fine when I went there in the morning. Could it be that some gopher couldn't help but pinch it? It doesn't make sense. Only Qinggang Shelter in Qinggang City has the ability to create tactical cores, right?
"
Looking at the place where the flames shot into the sky, it was obviously the northern suburbs of the city.
Peng Qiu was a little hesitant, as if he couldn't believe that it all happened by such a coincidence.
At that time, the upcoming reconstruction plan of Qinggang City had just been announced, and they had just had a full meal when they came back.
What?
A nuclear war broke out in the city?
Isn't this nonsense?
"Captain, according to our analysis, the location of the explosion happened to be in the industrial area in the northern suburbs. The explosion band showed that it was a K51-2 "Black Wind" fission reaction metallic hydrogen bomb. The method used was underground impact detonation. It is expected that
The explosion range was 365.64 meters, and the explosion intensity was 5537 tons of TNT."
Hayden, the boss of the technical department wearing glasses, came out and hung on the ladder on the edge of the car to report loudly.
However, facing his professional report, Sean seemed much more amateurish.
"Stop using professional jargon and speak in human terms."
"Yes!" Hayden bared his teeth and smiled: "To put it simply, the bomb that just exploded is just an old thing from more than two hundred years ago. There are only two ways to detonate. The first way to set up detonation requires setting it in advance.
Only when the internal activation of fission is properly timed can the power be produced. The second type of underground detonation detects the corresponding vibration frequency from the ground and automatically activates the internal explosion switch."
"More than two hundred years ago?"
"Yes, this is a bomb produced by Reuben Industries for collecting minerals. It does not have combat capabilities."
"Does that mean it's impossible for the other side to drop the bomb from above our heads?"
"It's possible, but the possibility is so small that they have to break through our air defense facilities first."
Pointing to the dense anti-aircraft artillery on the top of the tank, Hayden felt extremely confident.
"The weapons we purchased are not fake. Even if the flight formation from Qinggang Shelter comes over, it will not be able to break through the fire blockade."
"That's good, continue to monitor the situation in the city for me and make sure nothing unexpected happens."
"clear!"
Hayden shrank his head and swung back down the ladder to the interior of the cabin.
Industry is industry, and having the foundation does not mean the upper limit.
The ultra-long-range scanner carried inside the Red Spider Caravan is enough to capture all magnetic flow information within two hundred kilometers.
Even if the range is now weakened by the fog, it is still possible to collect and combine the information within a dozen kilometers.
"Ahem... It seems that someone took advantage of the morning meeting to sneak the bomb into the industrial area?"
Seeing Somo coming from a distance, Peng Qiu expressed his judgment.
"It's possible, but I don't know who put it down specifically."
Listening to the roar that started to play in the city again, Somo stared at the sound with a heavy expression.
Compared with the previous bomb explosion, the sound was much softer.
It sounds like the roar of heavy artillery in ordinary war, and it is still within the acceptable range of the situation.
"Are they... fighting?"
Sean's heart sank and he said quickly.
"How about we send someone in to check the situation? If it really can't be ended, we should retreat quickly."
"These gophers are so crazy that they even beat up their own people. It would be difficult to expect them to care about our foundation when they are so crazy..."
Peng Qiu nodded.
"That's right. Clear Harbor Sanctuary should have nuclear-making capabilities. If they lose their minds, a real nuclear war will break out here at any time!"
For people living on Blue Star, nuclear wars from time to time have become a common occurrence.
When it comes to fear, of course there is.
But more importantly, it’s how to deal with this weapon.
Among them, "Quickly Away" is one of the best ways!
"Without further ado, I'll take people in now to take a look."
The expansion of the situation can be regarded as the worst news for Tianyuan Territory.
It would be fine if this group of people went crazy inside the city, but if they aimed outside the city.
Looking at the radioactive creatures that sprang out of the city from time to time in the distance, they were sniped and killed by the caravan guards guarding the border.
Sumo tensed up, opened the game area to chat without hesitation, and issued orders in the Tianyuan Army channel.
"Tian Yuan Army, prepare to gather and move forward."
