Chapter 553 I blew up a hole in City 49! I'm in a real hurry now! Anyone want to take the blame

Despite Jiang Xia's nonchalant tone, he was actually quite panicked.

where is this?

Beijing! The capital of all of China! And here he was, someone blasted a huge crater in the middle of it all?

If this happened in later generations, no other department would need to intervene; the environmental sanitation department alone could have thrown him into Paoju Hutong.

After running down the mountain with the young men from Zeshan, the group lingered outside a certain area, unable to venture further.

Nothing special, just hot feet!

"Hey, Zeshan, didn't you say the yield was small? Now it's probably over 30 tons!"

Jiang Xia bent down, fiddling with a few loose stones. He then estimated the distance the stones would travel...

Damn it, don't think I've never been involved in an explosion. I know that a 12-ton TNT equivalent can at most create a fragmentation zone with a diameter of tens of meters, but this one is almost a hundred meters in diameter!

Why?

It's probably because of that famous dam in later generations that had its "world's first explosion," which used 190 tons of explosives to blow up a concrete dam that was 480 meters long, 30 meters high, and had a total volume of 186,700 cubic meters.

That scene wasn't nearly as exaggerated as it is now!

It's like a comet hitting Earth...

"Hehehe, it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, it's big is good! Look at the patterns of this shockwave, how beautiful!"

The young man from Zeshan stared in fascination at the wavy lines on the ground.

Teacher Zhemin also took out paper and pen: "Yes! It's so beautiful, so beautiful! I've never seen such a spectacular sight! Oh, Zeshan, look, these shockwaves aren't just one-off events!"

As he spoke, Teacher Zhemin moved a large stone: "Look! My shock wave theory is indeed correct! As long as it is a wave, it cannot escape the basic laws. Look, here is interference, and here is diffusion!"

"And look at this! The ripples here are complex, aren't they? This shows that overpressure waves can be reflected and superimposed in a confined space!"

"It's worth it! It's worth it! It's one thing if the structure is blown away, but these..." Teacher Zhemin gestured to the explosion site with a fanatical expression.

"This is all first-hand data! It's not just about these surface phenomena; the characteristics of nonlinear continuum mechanics can all be found here!"

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! An explosion site could provide so much basic data support!"

"Quick! Contact the rest of the staff in the hospital to come over and bring cameras. Take pictures of all these patterns! Also, calculate the relevant data; this will be very useful!"

Professor Zhemin, acting like a madman, yelled at Lao Wang, who was always by Jiang Xia's side, "You! It's you! Go find some people! No one else is allowed in here for now. We'll talk about it after we finish recording the experimental data!"

Old Wang and Jiang Xia exchanged glances. Fine, next time they'll stay away from these explosives. For now, they'll do as instructed.

At this moment, the young man from Zeshan rang out again with his loud voice: "Oh my! I've got it! The internal structure of the young lady can be modified! Teacher, I suddenly have an idea, let's... and then... that way, I estimate the charge can be increased to 3..."

"Shut up!"

A figure flashed out, leaping into the air halfway through, and perfectly covered Zeshan's loudmouth with both hands.

"Tsk tsk... Secretary Liu is really elusive. I didn't even notice where he was. Did he crawl out of the ground?"

"Hmm!" Secretary Liu, covered in weeds, glared angrily at the two onlookers.

Jiang Xia and Lao Wang covered their ears, trying to deceive themselves by moving a little further away from the two explosion maniacs and the secrecy maniac.

"What should we do? Call for help as they want?"

"Nonsense! The scapegoat has already come out; if we don't call for it now, when will we?"

"How do you say that?"

"You know what our young lady is, right?"

"OK!"

"Given this situation, can you take the blame?"

Looking at the chaotic scene, and then at the small hill that had been transformed into a small pot, and even more amusingly, this "pot" was still bubbling with water...

It looks funny, but no one with a normal brain would want to put this pot on their head!

Didn't you see Old Wang shaking his head faster than a rattle drum?

"That's settled then. We're all small, so this pot would be perfect for the young lady's family..."

Old Wang slapped his forehead: "It has to be you again!"

Without mentioning that Lao Wang had hurriedly run away, Jiang Xia walked around the dangerous trio in a big circle.

He nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the small pot in front of him, regardless of what insights those two explosion maniacs had gained from this experiment.

Little Dai Mao's original intention was simply to help his grandma and the villagers build a small reservoir, right? Now that the original plan has been exceeded, what else is there to be dissatisfied about!

Looking around, I reached out and touched the water in the puddle. Hey, isn't this an artificial hot spring?

Since I'm covered in mud, why not...

"Come on..."

Jiang Ribagu Xia appeared in this small stone pool.

"Comfortable!"

"Rub to the left, rub to the right, rub up and wash down..."

Just as Jiang Xia was enjoying his bath, he noticed, "Hey, why is the water level dropping a little?"

Oh no, could it be that the underwater area hasn't completely collapsed yet? In an instant, all sorts of miserable images of cave explorers getting stuck and dying flooded into the little dork's mind.

Slurp slurp...

If I were recorded as the first person to die from a thermobaric weapon, I would lose face big time.

After getting dressed, Jiang Xia felt that this was a potential problem. What if the dam was completed and then suddenly the ground collapsed? Wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?

Picking up a stick, Little Dumb Hair began his little adventure following the direction of the flowing water.

In the icy and snowy landscape, warm water streams emitted plumes of white mist, which conveniently guided Jiangxia on his way forward.

Fortunately, Jiang Xia noticed something was wrong after walking only a dozen meters.

Well, finding the source is good enough. Jiang Xia isn't that curious. He moved a few stones from a distance and tentatively threw them at the source.

Sure enough, the land there collapsed even further, revealing a shallow, tunnel-like pit.

"Huh? I've discovered an underground treasure? Wow, I really am a person of great fortune!"

Jiang Xia turned around and tried to call for help, "Hey! Come quick, there's a secret passage here!"

Solo reconnaissance? Pshaw! That's no different from trying to see through bushes with your face. Jiang Xia wouldn't do something so stupid.

While shouting, he picked up a larger rock and hurled it at the collapsed area: "Hehe, let's see if some green-fuzzy thing pops out..."

"You better behave! If you ruin the interference pattern of my shockwave, I'll find someone to deal with you!" Teacher Zhemin glanced at Jiang Xia from afar, warned him a couple of times, and then directed Secretary Liu to hold the measuring tape and busy himself with the task.

The young man from Zeshan looked up and observed for a while, then continued his teacher's words:

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother, you absolutely must hold back! Based on my speculation, your location happens to be a superposition point of shock wave reflection and refraction, where the interaction forms a new pressure field. The superimposed pressure field there may be more complex and potentially stronger than a single shock wave. It's very valuable information!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the stone Jiang Xia threw landed heavily on that spot.

rustling...

The soil collapsed, instantly creating a long trench.

Σ(⊙▽⊙“a!

"Brother, you're a step too late..."

The young man from Zeshan sighed, "Brother, I have a ball here, it's metal, you should just keep soaking in the pool..."
