Chapter 315: Hand-made nuclear bomb

"Woof woof, woof woof..."

Lucky barked and ran toward the mountain stream, its angry voice seeming to accuse Zhang Su of blowing up its workplace...

"What's going on?"

"What problem..."

The high-intensity flashlight shone toward the depths of the mountain stream, but in the real dark night, the light of an ordinary flashlight was of little use. The distance was like a black hole, swallowing all the light sources.

"That, should we go over and take a look?"

Liu Tianji, who had a strong curiosity, pointed to the depths of the mountain stream and suggested.

Zhang Su shook his head and said, "Damn, if I had known the power was so great in advance, I wouldn't have done the test on the mountain. Whether it's the power of the explosion or the landslide, it's too damn scary. If you don't want your head smashed flat, don't go. Wait until tomorrow morning when there's no problem!"

Safety was no small matter. Hearing Zhang Su say this, no one insisted anymore.

"Teacher Yu, what do you think of the explosion power of this thing?"

Zhang Su asked the question he wanted to ask before. Generally, only when both Yu Wen and Yu Qing were present would he add a small character before Yu Qing's title to distinguish them.

Yu Qing was not scratched by the sand and gravel because Zhao Dezhu reacted very quickly. When Zhang Su shouted, he protected Yu Qing. The rough man was very considerate.

Hearing Zhang Su's question, Yu Qing shook her head quickly and said, "According to my cognition, the energy released by nuclear fission can be compared with the explosion just now! There are even greater powers like nuclear fusion... and some methods that human technology is difficult to control for the time being."

"Then... can we quantify the power of the explosion just now with TNT equivalent?"

This was what Zhang Su wanted to know most. Others couldn't see clearly, but he saw the destruction of that tree very clearly. In the light, it was instantly torn into powder. One could imagine the situation of people in that kind of explosion, which wouldn't be any better than the big tree.

Yu Qing shook her head somewhat blankly. With her professional knowledge, she couldn't answer this question.

"That..." Wu Lue raised his hand and said, "Brother Su, I have some data here for your reference. Should I say it?"

"Of course, say it quickly."

Zhang Su knew that Wu Lue had a bit of social phobia and didn't dare to speak when there were many people, and it hadn't changed even in the apocalypse.

"I watched a popular science program before, introducing the approximate power of some explosives. I remember..."

Wu Lue scratched his head, organized the data in his mind, and picked the ones he was most sure of, saying, "A fifteen-kilogram gas tank fully explodes, and the power is equivalent to 150 kilograms of TNT explosive. Only two gas tanks, that is, 300 kilograms, can blow up a six-story building. That's it."

"I feel that the explosion just now was enough to blow up a six-story building. It's really damn scary."

Zhao Dezhu said with a grimace. To protect Yu Qing, the back of his head was hit by a stone. It didn't bleed, but it definitely swelled into a big bump.

Zhang Su nodded and said, "I also feel that the explosion power just now should exceed 300 kilograms of explosives. Dr. Fu, do you have any relevant data?"

Fu Weijun had a scratched palm when he was urgently avoiding just now, but he didn't care at all. After thinking about it while supporting his chin, he said, "Five hundred. I think the explosion power just now is similar to 500 kilograms of TNT, just... nothing, Mr. Zhang, you refer to the 500-kilogram amount."

After speaking, Fu Weijun fell into deep thought, as if some problem was bothering him.

"Right, right, I remember now. It said that for a 1,000-kilogram TNT explosion, without considering the addition of other lethal objects, the shock wave lethal radius is 120 meters. Brother Su, you know the approximate distance of the explosion just now, calculate it."

Wu Lue added.

Zhang Su touched his cheek. The cold wind blew on his cheek, feeling cold. He raised his hand to signal the crowd to walk to the camp, and said, "I think the answer given by Dr. Fu is more pertinent. 0.5 milliliters can produce a power equivalent to about 500 kilograms of TNT. Damn, so awesome? Did we calculate wrong..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but question his own calculation.

It was just held in a plastic bottle just now. If it were really manufactured in the way of a bomb, the lethal distance of the flying objects would be more than double the shock wave, and the power was too unbelievable.

"If calculated according to the ratio given by Dr. Fu, it's not wrong." Yu Qing gave Zhang Su an affirmative answer.

Zhang Su swallowed a mouthful of saliva and didn't speak. His expression was unusually serious. He couldn't help but touch the small glass bottle in his bag. A simple conversion, there was about 14 milliliters left in the glass bottle, that is 14 tons of TNT!

This was too terrible. The equivalent of a Tomahawk cruise missile was about 500 kilograms, which meant there were 28 Tomahawk missiles in his pocket, but unfortunately, there was no launch device.

"Heaven..."

Yu Qing seemed to have thought of something, suddenly covering her mouth in astonishment, and said, "If 0.5 milliliters can produce a 500-kilogram equivalent explosion, that has already reached the level of nuclear fission!"

The energy released by the full fission of one kilogram of Uranium-235 is about 15,000 tons of TNT equivalent, but one gram of hydrogen atom nuclear fusion can release energy equivalent to 140 tons of TNT, almost ten times that of fission.

This is just a theoretical value. In real use, there will be very serious losses. Little Boy carried 50 kilograms of Uranium-235, and the energy released by the explosion was exactly 15,000 tons, which means there is a 50-fold gap between the actual situation and the theoretical value!

Calculated according to this ratio, one gram of Uranium-235 has only 300 kilograms of equivalent in actual explosion, slightly lower than the venom stock solution.

Once this evaluation came out, the crowd stood in the cold wind and fell silent.

Gulp.

Many people swallowed a mouthful of saliva together. Nuclear weapons, the big killer that humans can master.

"No, that, there won't be nuclear radiation, right?"

Wu Lue asked with a strange expression.

"No nuclear radiation!" Fu Weijun answered quickly, "I have tested the venom zombie, at least there is no radiation that our technology can detect."

"No nuclear radiation is also strong. Hand-made nuclear bomb, my goodness..." Zhao Dezhu shook his hands, and suddenly felt his waist straighten!

"That, everyone disperse, disperse."

Returning to the camp, Zhang Su dispersed the people watching the fun, leaving only him, Fu Weijun, and Duan Wuhu pushing the wheelchair.

Duan Wuhu saw that Zhang Su had something to say to Fu Weijun and asked very consciously, "Brother Zhang, do I need to avoid it?"

"No."

Zhang Su shook his head, saw that Fu Weijun was still immersed in thought, patted his shoulder, and said, "Dr. Fu, hand over the bottle of venom stock solution in the laboratory to me for safekeeping. We'll talk about other uses later. Just the explosion alone is quite valuable."

With power comparable to a nuclear bomb, Zhang Su really couldn't rest assured that anyone other than him would keep the venom stock solution. It was no exaggeration to say that just half a bottle could level the homestay area, and two bottles were enough to blow up the mountain on this side!

The power was too terrible, and it must be in his own hands to be at ease.

After hearing Zhang Su's words, Fu Weijun just nodded absentmindedly, and then muttered, "Strange, there was no flame just now. This is very interesting. So what is the principle of this explosion?"

"Flame? Right... right..."

Hearing Fu Weijun's words, Zhang Su's heart moved. He didn't have time to consider other problems during the time just now. It wasn't until Fu Weijun mentioned it that he thought that there was only purple light shining during the explosion, and finally it returned to darkness directly, without a single spark!

If it were a normal explosion, there were many dead leaves and weeds around, and it should have ignited some.

Among so many people at the scene, only Fu Weijun noticed this phenomenon and thought deeply. Even Yu Qing didn't care, because she didn't see the process of the explosion at all, only felt the strong wind blowing past her side.

Zhang Su suddenly reacted and said, "If the explosion of the venom stock solution doesn't cause combustion, then does it mean... it can be used to deal with zombies?"

With that level of explosion just now, not to mention too much, the zombies within a radius of 50 meters could definitely be wiped out. This range was a circle with an area of 8,000 square meters. Calculated according to the density of the zombie horde, it could hold more than 20,000 zombies!

And this was only the power of 0.5 milliliters. Fu Weijun extracted about 30 milliliters from the brain of a venom zombie!

"It is indeed a sharp weapon to deal with zombies. Detonation or something is not a problem. Use a walkie-talkie to make a simple remote control device to ignite. As long as there is no interference source, it can be easily handled within 400 or 500 meters. Really awesome, we will have no worries in the future!"

Duan Wuhu couldn't stop clicking his tongue. Having a heavy weapon to defend against zombies in the camp was something to be happy about.

"No worries is not the case, at least the safety coefficient can rise by a large margin!"

Zhang Su let out a long sigh of relief. The destructiveness of the venom stock solution was extremely strong. This was a double-edged sword, but as long as the person wielding the sword mastered the swordsmanship, it would be invincible.

"I don't know if there are any such zombies wandering outside..."

Understanding the importance of the venom stock solution, Zhang Su began to worry about the source of goods.

The three walked toward the laboratory together. Duan Wuhu said, "The zombies we led away with the people from Dachaobao Township today are at least 20,000 or 30,000. It's not guaranteed that there are no venom zombies among them!"

"Can't let this kind of zombie wander outside!"

Zhang Su frowned and said.

Fu Weijun hurriedly followed up: "Right, we should catch all the venom zombies alive and bring them back for research."

"No..." Zhang Su was amused by Fu Weijun's persistence, shook his head and said, "Mainly because the threat of this substance is too great. It's fine if no one knows. If others also discover it, it will be troublesome!"

Exclusive secret recipes are valuable. Unless we can master how to artificially create mutated zombies in the future, this venom stock solution will be used up little by little. We can have none, but others must not have it!

Thinking of this, Zhang Su decided that he must go out and look for it tomorrow. This matter had to be done by himself, because his vision was awesome. When the venom zombie was not attacking, the difference from an ordinary zombie was very small. Fortunately, the zombies now were basically naked. If they were wearing down jackets or something, they couldn't be seen at all!

Plus the zombie horde didn't like close observation, his search efficiency was comparable to ten people.
