Chapter 338

The explosive equivalent of a Tomahawk missile is only 0.5 tons of TNT.

The explosive equivalent of a small rocket-propelled nuclear bomb is at most no more than 50 tons.

If you only look at lethality, a conventional bomb with 1 ton of TNT equivalent dropped from a high altitude and exploded on the ground.

Can at least blast a giant crater 11 meters deep and 15 meters wide, with a shockwave coverage area of about 120 meters.

If a 10-ton TNT equivalent bomb were dropped from a high altitude, the power would be unimaginable.

Back then, the United States dropped two GBU-27 bunker-buster bombs, which directly killed thousands of civilians.

You have to know that the equivalent of this kind of missile is only 11 tons.

Think about the 1,200-ton equivalent explosion on the mountainside at the fireworks factory this time; it was a full 1,000 times that!

It was equivalent to 1,000 bunker-buster bombs exploding at the same time.

This terrifying destructive effect—if it weren't for the mountain in between, the military base next door would probably have been blown away.

By then, this wouldn't be an ordinary accident, but a major incident rising to the level of national defense security.

If that really happened, Fang Yang, as the leader of this incident, no matter how much popularity he had, would have to go in and "sew shoes."

It was even highly likely that he would be "eliminated" for crimes related to the military.

Feeling the explosion end, the residents all slowly stood up and looked at their homes, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Our home... is gone!"

"You should be thankful you're alive, still thinking about your home. Speaking of which, where is the factory manager of the fireworks factory? You have to give us an explanation for this."

"Exactly! It was their poor management that caused the explosion, and we suffered for it. Where is he? Where did he run off to?"

"There must be an explanation; we can't just lose our homes for no reason."

At this moment, the residents were like they had found an outlet, all looking for the factory manager to demand an explanation.

Team Leader Wang and other police officers hurriedly surrounded the factory manager to prevent the crowd from getting too emotional.

The factory manager's face had long since lost all color, and he looked like he had lost the will to live.

If you had to say who was the unluckiest in this matter, it was him. He was the biggest victim, but now he had become a street rat that everyone wanted to beat.

Fang Yang looked at this scene with some helplessness. This explosion was completely an accident, the kind that was impossible to predict.

Various coincidences came together. If you really had to hold someone accountable, those few who washed the cave were the masterminds.

But the problem was that those people were already dead; is it useful to look for them?

But this matter had nothing to do with Fang Yang either; others invited him to work, and then it just so happened that he dug out a cave.

If you really want to talk about responsibility, the ultimate responsibility can only be the fireworks factory.

It's just that Fang Yang felt a bit guilty, so he immediately walked into the crowd and waved his hands: "Everyone, don't be agitated. Didn't you see that the fireworks factory is gone too? The factory manager is also a victim; this really can't be blamed on him."

Seeing that it was Fang Yang speaking, everyone calmed down; after all, he had just saved their lives.

Fang Yang continued to say loudly: "I also have a certain responsibility for this. How about this: I'll see if the government can reimburse some of it later. If that really doesn't work, I'll pay some money out of my own pocket to compensate everyone. In short, there will definitely be an explanation for this, okay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Team Leader Wang also stood up to echo: "Everyone must trust the government. No one wanted to see this accident; it was purely an accident. The government will help everyone rebuild their homes. Now is not the time for infighting; everyone calm down."

Hearing the promises of Fang Yang and Team Leader Wang, most of the town residents calmed down.

With a guarantee, they felt much more at ease.

Looking at the huge mushroom cloud again, they also understood that the fireworks factory was gone, and the person who should be crying the most was the factory manager.

Everyone could only wait on the spot for now, ensuring the explosion was safely over before going back to check the situation.

——【Sigh, you can't blame these people either; they are miserable enough. Their homes just disappeared for no reason, their life's work. Fortunately, everyone saves money in mobile banking now, so at least their savings weren't blown away.】

——【No one can say who is wrong in this matter. If you want to blame someone, blame those who stole the ore, but they are all dead, what else can you do? I guess only the government will come forward to solve it. It's just that homes can be rebuilt, but the losses of the fireworks factory are truly gone.】

——【Let's see. Based on my understanding of Fang Yang, although he isn't a saint, his values are fine, and he has a strong sense of responsibility. I guess he should give the fireworks factory some compensation; after all, he is too weird. If someone else had dug it, it might not necessarily have collapsed.】

——【This is the biggest explosion I've ever seen, but it's the only one without any casualties; it's truly unprecedented. I think Fang Yang not only did nothing wrong, but he also did a good deed. If it weren't for him, most of the residents in the town would probably have died, and even the fire brigade would have suffered.】

Back at the military base, long before the explosion, they were just preparing to send a squad to investigate the situation.

When they heard a violent explosion.

Although there was a mountain in between, they were the closest to the explosion site.

The huge explosion sound made everyone temporarily deaf.

At the same time, the surrounding walls and facilities were blown down in an instant.

The violent shaking of the ground caused many people to lose their footing and fall to the ground.

After a few seconds, the battalion commander pointed to the sky and exclaimed loudly: "Brigade Commander, look!"

Everyone looked at the sky in the direction he was pointing.

Hiss~~

A chill immediately surged into their hearts.

A brownish-red mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky.

Those who originally thought it couldn't be an enemy attack now had to have another thought in their minds.

Could it really be an enemy attack?

Did they damn well drop a nuclear bomb over here?

Based on their understanding of the military, this was definitely not an explosive effect that an ordinary missile could achieve.

Brigade Commander Cui's face was full of shock; even someone who had seen the world like him was stunned by this commotion.

"Battalion Commander Zhang!"

"Here!"

"Immediately lead your troops to check the situation and report back in time if you find anything. Ensure whether the military families are safe."

"Yes!"

He then looked at the Chief of Staff next to him: "Immediately have someone prepare a helicopter; I want to go over and see what happened myself. Everyone else wait here and be ready to receive orders at any time."

Everyone: "Yes!!"

Following the order, the soldiers quickly assembled, and military vehicles drove out of the training camp.

Many people present, including some officers, had anxious expressions on their faces.

Because their families were on the other side of that mountain.

If they weren't soldiers, they would definitely have taken out their phones to call their families to confirm if they were safe.

On the other side, the Mayor was leading a team to direct the post-disaster reconstruction work by the seaside.

A large amount of materials and construction workers had joined the new construction.

The road had long been completely cleared, and everything seemed to be in full swing.

Suddenly!

Boom~~!

A strong wind blew.

Everyone subconsciously covered their faces from the wind and sand.

The next second, the secretary pointed to the distant sky, his face full of horror: "Mayor, look!!! What is that!"

When they all looked at the sky, their eyes almost popped out.

In the very distant sky, a very high brown mushroom cloud was fixed in the sky.

"Holy crap! Did a nuclear bomb explode!"

"Is there a war?"

"My god! Mayor, what on earth happened?"

The Mayor looked at the mushroom cloud in the distance in shock; he also wanted to know what happened.

He hurriedly turned to look at the secretary: "Check it quickly, see what happened over there! Hurry and call the driver, let's rush over."

The secretary nodded immediately: "Okay, but what about here?"

"It doesn't make much difference whether I'm here or not, but that side is the priority, let's go!"

In the car, the Mayor's heart was trembling.

He hadn't even been this scared during an earthquake.

But this time, he was truly scared.

With an explosion like this, its shockwave could be felt dozens of kilometers away; one could imagine that the people and buildings around it were probably all gone.
