Chapter 776: The End of the Father of Bombs
After completing the decisive bombing mission on the Kumamoto Fortress, the pilots of the second squadron quickly adjusted their flight attitude, stabilized the fuselage, and reported the battle situation to the wing commander via radio.
"Captain, this is the second squad. The bombing mission has been successfully completed. It has been confirmed that the target area has been severely damaged. The subsequent effects are being evaluated. Please instruct the next action."
The commander of the wing was in the command center, staring at the real-time battle feedback on the screen with a sharp eye like an eagle. After hearing the report, he quickly and calmly made a judgment: "Second squad, the mission was executed very well. Return to the base immediately to rest and wait. Now, I will issue a new combat order."
Then, the commander of the wing picked up the microphone, switched to the communication channel of the third squadron, and issued an order in professional and clear command terms: "Third squadron, pay attention. In view of the fact that the enemy fortress has suffered heavy damage, but some areas are still not significantly affected, I order you to move out immediately and carry out a new round of bombing missions. The coordinates of the target area have been sent to your navigation system. Please execute after confirming that they are correct."
"Received, Commander. The third squadron is ready, please give us the specific mission details." The lead pilot of the third squadron responded quickly.
"Team Three, you need to drop four Father of Bombs for this mission. Make sure you accurately strike the undamaged key areas of the enemy's fortress. Special reminder, the shock wave of the Father of Bombs has a very wide range. After dropping the bomb, please immediately climb to the maximum elevation angle to ensure that the flight altitude is safe enough to avoid being affected.
At the same time, pay attention to maintaining a safe distance from other flying units, cooperate in combat, and ensure the successful completion of the mission. Repeat, climb quickly after dropping the bomb, keep communications open, and be ready to respond to emergencies at any time. "
"Understood, Commander. The Third Squadron will strictly follow the instructions to ensure the success of the mission and safe return. Please rest assured, Commander." The lead pilot of the Third Squadron responded.
Afterwards, they quickly adjusted their flight formation and headed towards the new target area, ready to carry out this important mission that would determine the direction of the war.
After receiving the order, the third squadron quickly adjusted its flight attitude and flew like a sharp arrow through the sky, heading straight for the area of Kumamoto Fortress that had not yet been completely engulfed by the flames of war. In the sky, their formation was neatly arranged, and each aircraft was like a part in a precision machine, working closely together to carry out this arduous task.
As the distance shortened, the outline of Kumamoto Fortress gradually became clearer. The unaffected area seemed exceptionally peaceful under the moonlight, but beneath this tranquility lay a destructive force that was about to erupt.
The pilots of the Third Squadron stared at the target area with determination in their eyes. They knew that every action they took would have a profound impact on the battle.
"Third team, prepare to enter the drop zone." The lead pilot gave orders to the entire team via radio.
"Received, confirmed to enter the drop zone." The team members responded one after another, while adjusting the flight speed and altitude to ensure that the formation was neat and uniform.
"Begin pre-bomb check." The lead pilot gave the order again, and this time, his tone was more serious.
"The bomb delivery system is normal." "The navigation system has locked onto the target." "The weapon safety has been released." ... The team members reported the results of each inspection quickly and accurately. Every detail was related to the success or failure of the mission.
"Very good, all systems are normal. Prepare to drop the Father of Bombs." After the lead pilot finally confirmed that everything was correct, he decisively gave the order to drop the bomb.
With a low roar, the four fathers of bombs were released one by one under the reflection of the setting sun. They were like four enraged beasts, roaring towards the remaining areas of the Kumamoto Fortress with destructive power.
At the moment of dropping the bombs, the pilots of the Third Squadron did not hesitate at all. They quickly climbed to the maximum angle to ensure that they could safely escape from the area that was about to be covered by the shock wave.
"Bombing successful, climb immediately!" The lead pilot issued an emergency order to the entire team via radio.
"Climbing, maintain altitude!" The team members responded quickly, driving the plane into the sky like an arrow, while maintaining close contact and coordinated operations.
It is made using nanotechnology and is four times more powerful than the "Mother of All Bombs". It was originally the most powerful conventional (non-nuclear) bomb, but was later replaced by the "Grandfather of All Bombs".
The vacuum equipment of the father of bombs can produce the power of 44 tons of TNT, with an explosion radius of 300 meters, making the killing range radius of about 300 meters using a new 7.8-ton high explosive developed with nanotechnology.
The bomb explodes in mid-air, and the main damage is caused by the supersonic shock wave and extremely high temperatures generated by the explosion, which incinerates everything nearby. The difference between a fuel air bomb and a conventional bomb is that a fuel air bomb uses oxygen directly from the atmosphere, while a conventional bomb has an oxidizer in the high explosive.
The "Father of All Bombs" contains 7.1 tons of new high explosives. Although the total amount of explosives is less than the 8.2 tons of the "Mother of All Bombs", its power is much greater due to its advanced formula. For example:
The temperature at the center of the explosion is twice as high;
The explosive power is four times that of 4 tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT);
The 300-meter explosion radius is twice that of the "Mother of All Bombs";
The killing area is 20 times that.
The "mushroom cloud" and shock wave produced by the explosion of the "Father of Bombs" had an extremely destructive power on weapons, equipment and buildings.
The "Father of Bombs" uses a "two-stage detonation" technique. First, the main body of the bomb is sent into the air through the first stage detonation, and then the "second explosion" is allowed to kill the enemy.
Compared with traditional bombs, the shock wave and ultra-high temperature produced by this new type of bomb have a longer range of action. The local vacuum environment created after the explosion can further increase the destructive power of this bomb, making it a small nuclear weapon.
The "Father of All Bombs" and the "Mother of All Bombs" are both thermobaric bombs. After a thermobaric bomb is detonated, it first triggers an oxygen-free explosion and oxygen-free combustion, releasing the explosive into the air; then oxygen combustion occurs, generating a high-pressure shock wave and a large amount of heat energy to destroy weapons and equipment and buildings.
The combustion process consumes a large amount of oxygen, causing a state of hypoxia and suffocating the organisms in the explosion area.
When the four "Father of Bombs" were accurately dropped on the unaffected area above the Kumamoto Fortress, the sky seemed to be torn open, foreshadowing an unprecedented disaster. These advanced weapons use the advanced technology of "two-stage detonation".
First, the first stage of detonation was quietly triggered, accompanied by a slight roar, and the main body of the bomb was quickly pushed to a predetermined high altitude position, as if lifted by an invisible force, waiting for the moment of explosion.
Then, a depressing and tense atmosphere filled the air, and everything seemed to be waiting for an order. At this moment, the second stage of detonation was activated, and a force that could not be described in words suddenly erupted. The four "Father of Bombs" bloomed their destructive light almost at the same time.
As the second explosion sounded, the entire sky seemed to be set on fire, and the dazzling flames instantly illuminated every corner of the fortress. Then, an unprecedented shock wave spread out in all directions with the force of thunder.
The force of the shock wave was so great that it easily penetrated the thick concrete dome. The fortifications that were once considered indestructible now seemed so fragile. The dome was instantly torn apart by the ravages of the shock wave, and huge fragments scattered like raindrops, shrouding the space below in chaos.
At the same time, high temperatures and flames followed closely behind the shock wave, turning everything into ashes. The air inside the fortress seemed to be evacuated in an instant, forming a huge partial vacuum environment. This extreme environmental condition further aggravated the destructive power of the "Father of Bombs".
The flames burned more fiercely with the help of the vacuum, and the shock waves ran rampant in this unobstructed space, completely destroying the fortress's structure.
