Chapter 979 Nuclear Age (1)

The atmosphere on both sides of the Atlantic is getting stronger.

For the United States, this is a war that risks the fate of the entire country, and the most terrifying thing is that if the European coalition fails, it can regroup and come back; if the United States fails, it will completely destroy the country and the family, even if they want to escape to other places It is impossible for the country to establish a government-in-exile.

Therefore, they almost frantically concentrated all their resources to build the Pacific and Atlantic defense lines in an attempt to resist the attack of the European coalition forces.

In Europe, shipyards in various countries are working at full capacity to produce landing ships and transport ships, and various arsenals are also working hard to produce various weapons and equipment.

Time passed like this day by day. In November 1942, Yannick received a report from Area 51 that the miniaturization of the atomic egg was finally completed and that the atomic egg could be assembled at any time.

Yannick ordered the assembly of an atomic egg with an equivalent of 50,000 tons, and then asked the Guards X Force to secretly send the atomic egg to a secret base in the Sahara Desert. A city was built there as early as two years ago, specifically for testing atomic eggs.

After everything was ready, Yannick notified the heads of other countries and set off for the secret base.

When the Air Force One he was riding landed at the airport of the secret base, his parents, Prince Oscar and his wife, had already arrived here first, and with them was little Elizabeth.

Seeing Yannick, Prince Oscar finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked. "Son, why are you so mysterious? How many secret projects do you have?" They boarded the plane sent by Yannick at the rocket launch base. When they boarded the plane, they were told that only three of them were allowed to board the plane; the remaining security guards , Attendants are not allowed to follow. After the plane took off, all the windows were covered, and the attendants who arranged it on the plane didn't say where the destination was, so they were brought here in a daze. "What's the situation in that city thirty kilometers away?" After arriving here, they saw a city thirty kilometers away that they didn't know when it was built, but there was not a single person in the whole city, like a ghost. .

Yannick smiled. "Well, that city is just for experiments. As for the experiments, we will see soon." He said and looked at little Elizabeth aside. "Little Elizabeth, this experiment is very spectacular. Your mother didn't come?"

Little Elizabeth came to his side and whispered. "She was originally going to come, but she didn't come when she heard that His Royal Highness Prince Oscar and the others would also come. Did they have a quarrel?"

"Well... maybe." Yannick smiled awkwardly. Since letting his parents know that Auston and Alice were his children, Queen Elizabeth has tried to avoid meeting Prince Oscar and his wife as much as possible.

While they were talking, other passenger planes arrived one after another, and those who got off these planes included German marshals, as well as leaders of other countries and defense ministers. In line with the principle that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, they came on several separate passenger planes. After all, if something went wrong on the plane with more than thirty marshals, Yannick would be heartbroken. The planes these people took were all sent by Yannick, and the specific destination was also not informed.

When the last passenger plane landed, everyone gathered in the temporary reception room of the base, and Yannick announced with a smile. "Everyone, you should remember that I promised you six months ago that I would let you witness with your own eyes the terrifying power that is comparable to the power of God. I invite you here today to fulfill this promise." To be precise, it is to scare these guys and promote the European Union The progress of the integration process has allowed those who are still worried about Xiao Jiujiu to fully understand the current situation.

"..." The reception room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.

At this time, an X force officer walked up to Yannick, stood at attention and saluted, and said with great solemnity. "Your Highness, everything needed for the experiment is ready, and you can start the detonation experiment of 'Frederick the Great' at any time..."

Yannick nodded and explained to everyone. "'Frederick the Great' was the name of the bomb."

The two atomic eggs dropped by the United States into the island country in the original time and space were called "Little Boy" and "Fat Man", but neither of them was the United States' first atomic egg. The first atomic egg in the United States was named "Slender Man". It was the first atomic egg successfully tested in the world. It was named "Slim Man" because of its relatively long and thin appearance. The Soviet Union successfully tested its first atomic egg in 1949, becoming the second country in the world to master nuclear weapons technology after the United States. It was named "Pumpkin" or "Tekva" in Soviet language.

Yannick thought about it for several days and decided to name the atomic egg "Frederick the Great." Even if Frederick the Great was alive in heaven, it would be nothing to see his name attached to such a terrifying weapon. Opinion.

Prime Minister Pétain asked. "Your Highness, how big is this bomb?"

Yannick knew what he was thinking. "Less than one ton, even a medium-sized bomber can easily carry it. Moreover, the bomb used in this test has reduced the amount of explosives, and the explosion power is only 50,000 tons of TNT. After all, it is just an experiment. One hundred thousand tons, twenty It’s not necessary to have an explosion yield of 10,000 tons of TNT, right?”

"!!" Everyone looked at each other in shock and confusion.

After all, there are already internationally accepted standards for the charge of high-explosive bombs. Common large-caliber high-explosive grenades generally have a charge of about 8%. In addition to artillery shells, the high-explosive bombs with the largest charge are aerial bombs. However, the charge of aerial bombs will not exceed 50% of the total weight, which means that the charge of a 500-kilogram aerial bomb will not exceed 250 kilograms.

And Yannick's words simply overturned everyone's cognition. Everyone couldn't figure out how a bomb weighing less than one ton could have an explosion power equivalent to 50,000 tons of TNT, or even 100,000 tons or 200,000 tons?

Yannick smiled slightly. "Everyone, this is not an ordinary bomb. Now let's go and witness new history."

Everyone came to an observation room. Nearly a hundred people suddenly poured into the spacious observation room, which felt a bit crowded. Although some people were worried about whether this observation room could withstand the impact of the explosion of 50,000 tons of TNT equivalent, seeing that His Highness Yannick was also here, they couldn't help but feel relieved and looked at the city 30 kilometers away through the thick windows.

In a corner of the observation room, several experimenters in white coats stood in front of the experimental table. Yannick gave the order to start. "'Frederick the Great' detonation experiment, start now!"

"Yes!" One of the officers saluted and asked. "Your Highness, do you want to press the detonation button yourself?"

Looking at the red detonation button on the experimental table, Yannick nodded and walked forward.
