Boom!!!
The drilling platform below the lightning strike exploded in a split second turning into a burst of flames.
Even the sea water below instantly evaporated upon being struck by the lightning.
The flames and the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen from the electrolyzed water caused a secondary explosion under the influence of the dispersed electric light.
For a moment, the entire sea area was illuminated.
But this was nothing.
The real change was happening at the seabed.
After the lightning strike reached the seabed, it fully activated the high-energy battery solution inside the submarine model and the magnetic field that had been charging for three days, resulting in a miraculous transformation between electricity and magnetism.
Buzzing and rumbling…
The strength of the seabed’s magnetic field increased drastically, causing the ocean floor to shake.
The entire seabed trembled.
Some rocks and mineral composites on the ocean floor began to slowly float to the surface.
“Beep beep beep…”
Inside the three American submarines, shrill alarm sounds blared.
“Communication system failure…”
“Sonar system failure…”
“Life support system failure…”
“The submarine is out of control, we are surfacing, power chamber system failure.”
At that moment, all electronic devices inside the three submarines malfunctioned.
Affected by the strong magnetic field, the submarines began to surface with awkward postures.
Without various devices for assistance, the submarines in the ocean were like blind men, unable to see anything.
Crackling and fizzing…
Suddenly, the electronic devices inside the submarines started to overload and explode, plunging the submarines into darkness.
Inside the submarines, people could see sparks coming out of various devices and sometimes the walls and pipes also flashed with electric sparks.
“Calling Seawolf, calling Seawolf, this is Wolf’s Den, please respond.” The American underground base was constantly calling the three submarines, but there was no response.
Everything was fine just a moment ago.
They were broadcasting the situation under the sea via satellite signals.
But suddenly, the satellite signal disappeared, the drilling platform lost contact, and even the three submarines at the bottom of the sea lost communication.
If it had been a strategic attack, it would have been understandable.
But the problem was.
Everything was normal before, and no enemy was detected.
Let alone a strategic attack, even the nearby aircraft didn’t take a glance this way.
How did they suddenly lose contact in such a situation?
“Switch the signal to the Korean coastal observation station.”
“Switching signal now.”
After about ten seconds.
The base s big screen displayed a new image.
In the image.
The observation station’s telescope captured the distant sea sky, continuously flashing with lightning.
This…
An extreme weather thunderstorm?
But even a thunderstorm shouldn’t block signals.
“Send a warship over there, see what’s going on?”
“The military ships enforcing the blockade are already on their way, estimated to arrive in twenty-five minutes.”
While the Americans were in a fog.
Tang Rui, watching the data on the holographic projection screen, suddenly said, “It’s starting.”
“Starting? Wasn’t that golden lightning strike the beginning?” Han Shu had been watching and had seen the golden lightning strike, which was already terrifyingly powerful.
A single strike had blown up the entire drilling platform.
Such immense power, and it wasn’t even the start?
“That lightning strike was like lighting a firecracker fuse with a lighter before the grand fireworks show,” Tang Rui casually explained.
If the planetary magnetic field control device was so weak, then his three hundred-plus source points would have been wasted.
This was just the appetizer.
Sure enough.
As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds in the sky erupted with countless lightning strikes.
The entire sky lit up.
Countless bolts of lightning fell.
Like chains of heaven plunging into the sea.
The water boiled and evaporated.
Countless electric sparks flickered on the sea’s surface, with balls of lightning of various sizes moving chaotically.
The water’s components, ionized in the evaporation, reacted with the ball lightning, causing intense flares.
Brilliant and scorching flares continuously burst on the sea’s surface.
The sky flashed with lightning.
Explosions continued on the sea.
The entire sea area at that moment was like a giant flashbang, releasing enormous energy.
Even hundreds of kilometers away, a series of deafening roars could be heard.
Inside the Blue Army command hall.
Han Shu, watching this apocalyptic scene, unconsciously swallowed and then turned to Tang Rui.
President Tang, what if this exploded in a city?”
“It would completely destroy the city. No building or person on the surface would survive.”
“President Tang, can this weapon be used anytime? Can its power be adjusted? Can it target single entities precisely?” asked the head of the special department.
“It can be used anytime, but in the same area, there must be a 12-hour interval The power can naturally be adjusted. What you’re seeing is the normal mode, not the destruction mode, so the power isn’t very strong.
As for targeting a single entity, that’s not possible unless a special magnetic field device is placed on the target; otherwise, precision is difficult.”
Tang Rui simply explained.
“This is just the normal mode? What’s the destruction mode like?” Han Shu asked fearfully.
“Destruction mode… when the explosion at the seabed happens later, you’ll see the power of destruction mode.”
“An explosion at the seabed?”
“Of course, do you see all the bubbles underwater and the electric sparks? When these spread to the seabed, the energy I prepared will fully explode.”
After hearing Tang Rui’s words, the two looked at the sea on the screen.
Indeed.
The water was boiling with numerous bubbles.
These bubbles were hydrogen and oxygen.
The lightning’s light constantly flickered inside these bubbles, continuously spreading to the deep sea.
As the lightning spread, it created new bubbles.
Some bubbles exploded underwater.
Some bubbles surfaced, adding to the firelight on the surface, making the sea area even hotter.
“Tang Rui, what about those three submarines?” Han Shu suddenly asked.
“No worries, the nuclear reactor’s pollution will be directly eradicated by the upcoming billions of volts of lightning and the strong ionized ball lightning causing no pollution.”
Tang Rui thought Han Shu was concerned about radiation pollution.
No need to worry.
Under the intense collision of electrons, that bit of radiation was nothing.
No, I mean, what about the nuclear missiles inside?”
“The nuclear missiles…”
Tang Rui paused mid-sentence, then froze.
“Red Lotus, simulate what will happen to the nuclear missiles in the upcoming lightning.” &
“Okay, Master, calculating… Calculation complete. The missile’s shell will be penetrated and dissolved, but the extremely high temperature of the lightning will directly trigger a chain reaction leading to a fusion reaction, releasing a massive amount of energy.”
After Red Lotus completed the calculation and presented the simulation results, the command hall suddenly fell silent.
“That… How many nuclear missiles are in those three submarines?” Tang Rui’s voice was a bit dry.
“Each submarine can carry 24 ballistic missiles, each with 8 warheads of 150 kiloton yield.”
3x24x8x150 = 86.4 million.
After calculating this simple math, everyone felt a tingling sensation on their scalp.
A chill ran down their spines.
“President Tang…”
“Don’t panic, stay calm….”
