Anyone familiar with nuclear explosions knows that the lethality of nuclear explosions mainly comes from three aspects, one is optical radiation, the other is shock waves, the third is early nuclear radiation, and there are also nuclear electromagnetic pulses and radioactive pollution.
The atmosphere of Ganymede is so thin that even the iconic mushroom cloud does not appear, and there is no condition to form a shock wave that sweeps across thousands of troops. The lethality of the explosion is mainly concentrated in optical radiation and nuclear radiation.
Generally speaking, optical radiation accounts for about 50% of the energy of nuclear explosions. On a star like Ganymede that lacks an atmosphere, the shock wave that should have played a major role is weakened to almost nothing. The power of nuclear radiation is also due to alien life.
The super resistance is greatly reduced, so that the most powerful means of destruction of nuclear explosions becomes optical radiation!
Nuclear radiation actually has an effect, but it is not as immediate as light radiation.
The sudden nuclear explosion was a great shock to the aliens. With the center of the explosion as the center of the circle, all anti-aircraft firepower within a radius of hundreds of kilometers was wiped out. It paused for a few seconds before resuming.
Although the pause only lasted a few seconds, there were quite a few shells that landed on the ground, and more importantly, they also included the first batch of nuclear shells!
The defenders had anticipated the arrival of a large number of nuclear bombs, but they never expected them to arrive so quickly. The suspended anti-aircraft firepower had just resumed when another nuclear bomb fell more than ten kilometers away, followed by the third and fourth...
The fleet fired nearly a hundred nuclear bombs in the first round, and more than two-thirds of them landed. The entire surface of Ganymede was filled with dazzling lights and expanding fireballs. The ground was melted by high temperatures, slowly boiling and flowing slowly.
, the ice surface was melted by the high temperature, turning into lakes of different sizes with boiling water.
Not only the buildings and positions on the surface were destroyed by nuclear explosions, but also the shallow underground bunkers were not immune to the ravages of nuclear explosions. The holes under the shallow ice were the hardest hit areas by nuclear explosions. Unless you stay away from the center of the explosion, you will definitely not end well.
.
In just half a minute, more than 70 nuclear explosions occurred in succession, destroying less than half of the backside of Ganymede in one fell swoop, and the anti-aircraft firepower was immediately sparse for most of it.
Among them are the factors that destroyed a large number of air defense positions by nuclear explosions, and the reason why aliens retreated underground.
But not all aliens retreat underground, there are still many aliens who continue to fight at the risk of being exposed to nuclear bombs.
To aliens, they are all heroes, but to humans, they are just stubborn enemies. Gao Kai did not hesitate to order the fleet to launch a second wave of nuclear bombs.
Nuclear weapons cannot determine the outcome of a battle, but they can greatly speed up the progress of the battle!
The first round of nuclear explosions destroyed a large number of ground facilities. As the interception firepower on the ground became weaker and weaker, more and more artillery shells were hit.
At this juncture, Ye Han suddenly received an urgent message from the resistance organization!
Ye Han was very strange. He didn't understand why the resistance organization contacted him at this time. After the communication was connected to Yaoshan, Zeng Rui appeared on the screen and said in a very helpless tone: "Chief, they want to talk to you directly!"
Ye Han was confused: "What's going on?"
Just when Zeng Rui was about to speak, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Zeng Rui. With a big hand, he swept Zeng Rui aside. Then the figure knelt on one knee and an ugly face appeared on the screen: "Chief, it's me who wants to follow you.
say something."
"Who are you?" A thought flashed through Ye Han's mind, which was converted into an electronic signal through the biochip and quickly conveyed to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi immediately started the facial comparison system, and an ever-changing alien face immediately appeared on a small screen.
It is difficult for human eyes to distinguish the appearance of aliens. This comparison system is specifically designed to help humans distinguish aliens.
The alien on the screen said: "Who am I not..." and said something to the side.
The disgraced Zeng returned to the screen and said depressedly and helplessly: "He is a translator, a translator for the resistance organization."
Ye Han nodded slightly: "What do you want?"
The alien raised an arm and pointed away from the screen: "I want you, we want you, to stop bombing, now!" His grammar is really annoying, but his articulation is still clear and his meaning is clear.
It's just dry and has no tone, just like recording it word by word and then putting it together mechanically.
Ye Han's face darkened and he said patiently: "There is no such item in our agreement."
"You can't continue, we have to land!" the alien said.
"The landing must be after the air raid." Ye Han said.
The alien suddenly became anxious and said a lot of words, but Ye Han didn't understand a single word. He simply reported that Zeng Rui dragged him over and spoke a lot in alien language.
Zeng Rui sighed and said: "Chief, they hope the fleet will not bomb Ganymede with nuclear bombs."
"Why?" Ye Han frowned deeply, looking like he was asking questions.
Regarding the course of the battle, he must ask clearly why before he can decide whether to consider the resistance organization's request.
Zeng Rui said: "I don't quite understand. It seems that the nuclear radiation left by the nuclear explosion is too strong, so I dare not land in the nuclear explosion area or something."
Hearing this, Ye Han finally understood something: "You mean, artillery shells are OK, but nuclear bombs are not?"
The alien immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Ye Han couldn't help crying or laughing for a while: "Zeng Rui, please reassure them that nuclear radiation is not as powerful as they think."
Zeng Rui talked to the alien again, and then said helplessly: "He didn't believe it. He said that the starship... even Io had been hit by a nuclear bomb, and the nuclear radiation left behind was particularly powerful. There was no radiation when they came."
Bring those bugs that eat radioactive dust... Well, anyway, I still said what I just said."
"He's quite persistent?" Ye Han curled his lips and smiled, "Tell him that these two nuclear bombs are different. This one has no radiation."
The amount of residual radioactive material is directly related to the manufacturing technology. The more advanced the technology and the more reasonable the structure, the more complete the reaction of the nuclear charge. Naturally, there will be less residual radioactive material. On the contrary, if the technology is not up to standard, the result will definitely be a nuclear explosion zone.
No grass will grow in the rain.
Humanity's early nuclear weapons did leave a large amount of radioactive material, but with the advancement of human technology, the technology of the five major nuclear countries has become very high-end, especially China, the United States and Russia. The strong radioactive material left behind by nuclear explosions can be controlled to a few tens of grams.
Between several hundred grams, in extreme cases even only a few grams!
If such a small amount of radioactive material is dispersed within a radius of several kilometers, the radiation level in the explosion area will definitely increase, but it is far from the level of man and ghost.
The most obvious example is the Little Japs. The American army dropped two atomic bombs, but no one saw the Little Japs abandoning those two cities and living their lives as they wanted.
Zeng Rui sighed: "I explained it, but he didn't believe it."
Ye Han continued to curl his lips: "Forget it if you don't believe it. Just tell him that the air strikes are our business. According to the principle of reciprocity, we do not interfere with their command rights, and they cannot interfere with how we fight. That's it."
