Chapter 303: Chapter 167: [Nuclear Codename ’Little Boy’] [Nuclear Test Observer] (6.6k Double Chapter)
In Ding Rui’s live broadcast room.
United States of America, New Mexico desert.
On the natural rock wall, the observation equipment of the United States is neatly placed on the rocks, and more than a dozen scientists and high-ranking officers of the United States military have already gathered here.
The Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room were asking questions about the equipment they couldn’t name in the video.
Ding Rui stood at the edge, wearing protective gear, and introduced:
"That’s a spectrometer, that’s a radiation meter, and that is...."
Said a long list of instrument names.
This is the first nuclear test on ’Earth’, and although it’s clear that the United States tried to prepare comprehensively,
Ding Rui, having researched a lot of materials on Blue Star, knew.
These things are still not enough, and the protective measures are still lacking, and subsequent health issues could arise for everyone on site.
But since this is just a ’game’, it doesn’t matter whether he mentions it or not.
In other players’ storylines, whatever is supposed to happen, happens, so Ding Rui didn’t bother to issue a warning.
Moreover, he wasn’t a core member of the laboratory.
These core members didn’t know the effects and dangers produced by a ’nuclear explosion’, so how could he possibly know? Was it the ’god in Earth’ telling him?
However, having watched the thing being manufactured little by little over this period of time,
Ding Rui was also somewhat anxious at the moment.
Having seen many disaster movies, apocalyptic ones included, this was the first time observing a ’nuclear bomb’ up close, and he had never heard of anything like this before.
Querying on the photon supercomputer provided results that advised against close observation.
Plus, there were descriptions of its power.
All of these sparked curiosity and fear in Ding Rui and Blue Star netizens.
As time ticked away.
After all the preparations were completed, the scientists present donned goggles, wore protective suits, and lay behind the thick rock wall, sticking their heads out to look into the distance.
The perspective in Ding Rui’s live broadcast room was the same, lying there, with the viewers following his perspective to watch.
At this moment.
The countdown began on the broadcast.
"..."
"..."
"3...2...1..."
As the last ’1’ fell.
In an instant.
The world seemed to freeze at this moment.
Everywhere in sight.
Instantly turned white.
Ding Rui thought his goggles had failed, but the sudden stinging pain in his eyes reminded him it wasn’t a failure of the goggles, but the intense light penetrating through them.
Even with the layers of protection from the goggles, the piercing sensation made his eyes ache, causing him to instinctively close them.
Yet.
The view was not dark.
Instead, it was red through the blood, resembling the feeling of facing the sun with closed eyes, with the piercing pain in his eyes not alleviating at all.
With a forceful blink.
Ding Rui managed to open his eyes slightly and looked at the scene in the distance, his breath catching involuntarily.
On the ground.
Where the steel tower had once stood, a sun was now rising; unless it was seen rising and expanding, one couldn’t help but suspect if the sun had fallen.
The next second.
A violent tremor hit, and the shockwave arrived.
Boom—!!!
Accompanied by earth-shattering noise, Ding Rui’s mind went blank.
Even at a distance of twenty kilometers.
The thunderous noise was like it was right beside him, causing severe pain in his eardrums, as Ding Rui felt an earthquake while lying on the rock wall, sensing continuous shaking.
Once the aftershock passed.
Ding Rui laboriously lifted his head to look into the distance.
The massive fireball had dissipated.
But the still-expanding mushroom cloud, even at a distance of twenty kilometers, conveyed its enormity, invoking an inexplicable fear of giant things felt by humans in Ding Rui’s heart.
This is the technology that Photon Supercomputers showed as already obsolete on Blue Star, so what about the existing technologies on Blue Star?
Sssss—!
Ding Rui couldn’t even imagine what kind of situation would arise with the current technology of the Six Major Federations, especially since a ’nuclear weapon’ is considered obsolete on Blue Star.
The photon supercomputers can look up a lot of information, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to perform the narration broadcast.
But this kind of technology has been phased out.... How could the Six Major Federations have developed?
No wonder there’s been mutual restraint all these years.
Long live peace!
Meanwhile, Blue Star players in the live broadcast room were extraordinarily shocked.
After all, experiencing it firsthand and watching a live broadcast on screen have different effects.
Only Ding Rui, being amidst it, could feel the fear brought by the nuclear explosion, whereas the Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room merely saw it as an impressive special effect.
Since the feeling can’t be conveyed through the screen.
However, Zhao Ming was already starting to design the ’storyline add-on’.
Soon.
#’Earth’ Nuclear Explosion Experiment#
This trending topic quickly shot up to Federation Headline, and many people, not knowing why, clicked on it to watch, merely marveling at the weapon’s power.
After all, there are no shortage of movies and games on Blue Star, with ones even more exaggerated than this.
What caught the players’ attention was that Polestar Company released a ’story experience announcement’. Whoever downloads the game and participates in the ’nuclear explosion storyline experience’ will receive a month-long 30% discount coupon for the ’Huaxia Delicacy’ restaurant series.
This sparked interest even among some Blue Star people who hadn’t played before.
After all, with thousands of dishes in the ’Huaxia Delicacy’ restaurant series, they couldn’t be stopped, plus, the game is free anyway.
Download!
With this headline and announcement, the download rate of "World War II: Empire’s Rise" soared straight up.
Only in the player forums....
Discussions under various posts by experienced players had seen through everything.
