May 5th, at 18:[-] in the morning.

A dull sound came from the ground, and then, the entire Bakhtaran area felt the shock of the ground.

Zia also felt the slight trembling under his feet. He wished he could go to the scene immediately, but it was absolutely impossible now. However, such a violent vibration could not be caused by the explosion of those explosives alone. They must have happened. A nuclear explosion is needed!Moreover, he could almost guess what was happening at the scene.

Their child, Guangming, under the control of the program, first ignited the explosives, and then, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas formed by the explosives began to push the uranium block, which was compressed and reached a critical volume, and a chain reaction occurred. Under the theory of Einstein's mass-energy conversion equation, due to the reduction of mass, huge energy is transformed into form, and these huge energies are released in large quantities in the form of light radiation and shock waves. In the underground nuclear test area, the pre-built inner wall and Equipment material has evaporated.Before the equipment disappeared, it recorded everything that happened at this time. The high temperature and compressed shock waves would form gaps and cracks around the nuclear test area and even change the structure on the cave wall to form holes.In the next few seconds, the temperature cools, the air pressure dissipates, and the components of the gas in the cavity begin to condense sequentially, in order of relative vapor pressure or boiling point.The rocks and reproducing shèxìng nuclide elements, together with the molten rock blocks on the inner wall of the wall, accumulated at the bottom of the hole into molten clay.In a few hours, the upper roof would collapse into the hole, creating a vertical "gravel" shaft that, if not deep enough, would create a crater in the ground.The current depth is sufficient, but it may also cause the entire mountain to sink significantly.

After the explosion, a Mercedes-Benz 8*8 heavy truck modified for radiation protection drove into the scene, and they needed to transport the testing equipment back.

At this time, the benefits of the underground nuclear test will be reflected. In the underground nuclear test, all explosions occur underground, and the nuclear radiation has been blocked by the thick soil above, so there is only a small amount of nuclear radiation. It will be revealed that the dose is much lower than the leakage caused by an accident in a nuclear power plant. If it is a nuclear test in the atmosphere, the first batch of personnel to enter will risk their lives. Now, the danger they face is much smaller many.

It's a pity that we can't see the beautiful mushroom cloud anymore, Zia thought, their next job is to study the data collected from this nuclear explosion, improve their nuclear weapons, and apply the research results to the development of the next nuclear weapon.

As for what happened after the nuclear explosion, it has nothing to do with them.

"Report, we set up the Seismological Bureau in Turkey, and observed two earthquakes in the Middle East." Just two hours after the Iraqi nuclear explosion, a hurried voice disturbed CIA Director William Casey, who was about to go home According to the plan, Iraq is eight hours ahead of the United States, and at this time, the United States is off work time.

Two Earthquakes in the Middle East?Casey frowned. He knew that his subordinates would not bother him unless there was an emergency. If it was an ordinary earthquake, it would happen every year all over the world. It would not be the CIA's turn to pay attention. It was only artificially caused. Earthquakes, however, there is only one way to artificially cause earthquakes: underground nuclear tests.

Could it be that on the land of the Middle East, someone has crossed the nuclear threshold?

"Where did the earthquake happen?" Casey asked, putting down her briefcase.

The subordinate took out a document, on which two locations had been marked, and the level of the source had been marked.

Casey glanced at it and immediately felt that this was a tricky thing.

Because, one of the places is his own ally, the southeast of Israel, and the other is in the Bakhtaran area in the western part of the Iranian plateau.

Moreover, the magnitude of the earthquake above is marked as 4.5, which is very similar to the earthquake caused by the underground nuclear test.

But is there such a coincidence?Two countries, almost at the same time, exploded their own nuclear weapons?

If this is the case, then the situation will be troublesome. The Middle East already has complicated relations, and it will affect the economy of the United States. If a country there possesses nuclear weapons, no matter which country it is, it is not in the interests of the United States. What America needs is to stay put!

"Is the president still around?" he asked.

"do not know."

"Contact the president immediately, and I will report to him personally," Casey said.

The most important thing for President Reagan now is to run for president, so when he returned to the capital from Alabama, it was already three hours later. The sky in the United States had already darkened, but inside the White House, there was still The lights flickered.

"We hope that these are just two earthquakes, just a coincidence, but if it is really Iraq and Israel conducting nuclear tests, we must agree on how to deal with this problem." Casey's voice was not high, but everything Everyone knows that this time, it may be a big trouble.

So far, only five countries in the world have nuclear weapons, and only the five permanent members of the United Nations have nuclear weapons in the world. These are big countries. When using such destructive weapons, there will be many However, those small countries are different, those leaders are determined entirely by their own preferences, and they may really dare to risk the world's disgrace!

"We need to get the United Nations involved in this, let the IAEA go to these earthquake areas to collect data and see if they have conducted underground nuclear tests." The Secretary of State said first.

"Everyone, Israel has never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. They will not accept the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Moreover, Israel is our ally. Once it is really found that Israel has carried out underground Nuclear test, what do we do?" the defense minister said.

Israel has never signed on it, so the United States is very worried. One of the key points of the CIA is to monitor whether Israel is trying to develop nuclear weapons. However, it has not been aware of it. Now, this strange earthquake in Israel, It may be triggered by the nuclear test, which made them feel that there is no suitable way to deal with it.

"The earthquake in Israel was investigated secretly by us, and the earthquake in Iraq was investigated by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Anyway, Iraq has signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and they have no reason to reject this investigation by the United Nations. At this time, Vice President Bush spoke.

The problems listed in Israel can be regarded as their internal problems. If Israel really conducted a nuclear test, the United States can also urge Israel to stop these dangerous activities. Under the strong opposition of the United States, the following The sè column will know what to do.

However, Iraq has no alliance with the United States, and, with the development of Iraq, it has faintly become a huge force in the Middle East. For the United States, this is very unfavorable, especially, until now, Iraq has not Show enough sincerity to the United States.

Such an Iraq is very dangerous, especially if Iraq also possesses nuclear weapons!If the International Atomic Energy Agency finds out that Iraq is conducting a nuclear test, there will be a chance to suppress Iraq!

Chapter 595 Kusai Inspects the Disaster Area

The attitude of the United States is very firm. In this world, when they wield the big stick of nuclear blackmail, they absolutely do not want other countries to have nuclear weapons!

Therefore, when the United States realized that Iraq might be conducting a nuclear test, after urgent consultations, it finally came up with a solution: Regardless of whether the earthquake in the Bakhtaran area was really an underground nuclear test, let the United Nations The International Atomic Energy Agency for verification!

The U.S. resolution was carried out very quickly, but Qusay was faster than them.

Just when Qusay's special plane was about to arrive in Baghdad, he finally received an urgent request from the Iraqi Seismological Bureau. In the eastern part of Iraq, in the Bakhtaran area, an earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred!

An earthquake is a natural phenomenon in which vibrations are generated during the rapid release of energy from the earth's crust, during which seismic waves are generated.For a country, an earthquake is a serious natural disaster that often causes serious casualties, can cause fires, floods, toxic gas leakage, bacteria and radioactive substances, and may also cause tsunamis, landslides, collapses, ground fissures, etc. secondary disaster.

Therefore, after His Excellency Qusay arrived at Baghdad Airport, he took a helicopter and rushed to the disaster area without taking a breath.

Of course Qu Sai was anxious, but his anxiety was not to rush to the disaster area for disaster relief, but to hear the result in person.

Those who followed Qusay on the helicopter were the main high-level leaders of Iraq, Taha Yassin, Tariq, Adnan, Barzan, etc. They were already smiling on the helicopter.

"Your Excellency Qusay, this time our nuclear bomb test was successful, and we have become the sixth country in the world to possess nuclear weapons. In the Middle East, we have never been afraid of any force." Adnan's tone was very relaxed. As Iraq's national defense Minister, this time, a new powerful weapon has been added to Iraq's arsenal. This weapon is not purchased from foreign military forces, but produced by Iraq itself. Moreover, this weapon is a symbol of Iraq's strength !

Qusay listened to Adnan's words, but he was thinking in his heart that Iraq may not be the sixth one, Israel, when exactly the nuclear test was carried out, until later generations, has not been declassified, even Israel I don’t know whether there are nuclear weapons or not. The conventional weapons listed in Israel are enough for them to dominate the entire Middle East, and they have no need to challenge the hegemony of the United States. Therefore, they did not publicize it at all, and conducted nuclear tests by themselves. Possessing nuclear weapons, they will only use them when the security of Israel's homeland is threatened by life and death.

Although in later generations, a guy named Vanunu wanted to leak Israel's nuclear program, but Mossad used beauty to bring Vanunu back to Iraq at the last moment. Plan for exposure.

This underground nuclear test also made Qusay a little worried. Although the nuclear test was conducted in the utmost secrecy, seismic waves still leaked out. What would the outside world think?

"How far will our earthquake travel?" Qusay asked.

"The earthquake was felt in our eastern region. If it is a professional land administration bureau, I am afraid that it can be found a thousand kilometers away." Balzan said: "It is very strange that half a year after our nuclear test was completed Within hours, there was also an earthquake in Israel that was similar in magnitude to ours."

An earthquake also occurred in Israel?Qu Sai thought about this sentence, is there really such a coincidence in the world?However, the timing of the earthquake listed above was too good, so that he would have enough reasons to deal with the troubles that might come.

"Since our earthquake cannot be covered up, we might as well do some publicity," Qusay said.

publicity?They were in the cabin and did not hear what His Excellency Qusay said clearly.

"After learning of the earthquake in Bakhtaran, the Iraqi high-level immediately sent an earthquake disaster management committee headed by His Excellency Qusay to the Bakhtaran area to condolences to the people in the disaster area, hoping that they can tide over the difficulties. At the same time, organize the Iraqi troops stationed in the local area to carry out emergency rescue work. At present, the disaster area is in good order, and everything will return to order soon. In addition, after Your Excellency Qusay learned that Israel also had an earthquake, the Israeli people suffered The earthquake is a natural disaster. Although the disaster is ruthless, people are sympathetic. If Israel needs help, Iraq is willing to extend its friendly hand." Qusay said while Balzan carefully record it.

After Qusay finished speaking, the people next to him already understood that His Excellency Qusay wanted to equate this earthquake with the earthquake in Israel. At the same time, the words of helping Israel are just talking, even if the Iraqi soldiers really went to rescue I am afraid that Israel will not agree.

"Israel should have a major earthquake and bury all the Jews alive, and our Middle East will be at peace," Adnan said.

"No." Qusay said: "The people are innocent, and the ones who are guilty are those Israeli right-wing elements. We extend our hands of peace and friendship to the Israeli people who have suffered disasters." However, he said When he said this, Qu Sai's tone was a bit strange, making people feel that he was not very serious, but wanted to laugh very much!Since the founding of Israel, there have been four wars between the two sides. If you count Israel's invasion of Lebanon, it will be five times. The Jews and the Arabs can be said to be feuds.It is definitely not easy to resolve hatred.

The helicopter flew for more than two hours, and when the sky was about to light up, it finally arrived at the Bakhtaran area.

Only a 4.5-magnitude earthquake, which is at most a moderately strong earthquake, will not cause too much damage. Moreover, because the surrounding area is surrounded by mountains and there are very few residents, it does not cause much damage except for causing earthquakes. Dozens of sheep of an Iranian farmer [-] kilometers away from the epicenter exploded in shock and ran everywhere. Only two ordinary Iranians were slightly injured.

However, the earthquake temporarily halted Iraqi mining here.

Since the mining in Iraq had already destroyed the natural structure of the mountain, as a result, the already weak faults collapsed during the earthquake, and several mines suffered losses to varying degrees. Therefore, the aftermath of the earthquake The main thing is to clean up the mine. The off-road heavy trucks imported by Iraq from Austria and Germany played a major role this time. Walking on the small roads in the mountains, the heavy trucks showed strong adaptability and put the road sections on the road. It is their most important task now to clean up and transport the falling rocks from the blocked place, so that the mine can resume normal operation.

In the process of transporting these, the vehicles for the nuclear test were also mixed into this torrent of steel and drove back to Iraq.

Zia met His Excellency Qusay, who was still in high spirits despite the bloodshot eyes, and the senior Iraqi officials who came with him in a predetermined area in the north of Bolezaha.

"Reporting to Your Excellency Qusay, our experiment has been very successful, and all our data will be sorted out in half a month, and then we will make a systematic report to you," Zia said.
