As tons of explosive particles that have been activated with the help of airflow swarm into the reaction kettle in the bonding area, the high-temperature and high-pressure environment in the kettle that has not yet returned to normal makes them extremely active.
Every second, millions of particles of dust excitedly hit the more than one meter thick alloy kettle wall of the reactor, and the valve near the pressure relief port of the reactor was slowly opened at a speed visible to the naked eye. . Due to the relatively common metallurgical technology of the empire, although the alloy used in the reactor was already one of the best military alloys, it was still unable to withstand the increasing pressure in the reactor.
Finally, as the explosive particle mass squeezed almost into the size of a football released a dazzling pale light, the particle explosion that was several times more violent than the chain reaction instantly filled the entire bonding section, which was several kilometers long. The workshop was also completely engulfed by the scorching fireball.
But this is several tons of explosive particles. If used to fill the main weapon of the Star Group's Javelin-class frigate, the twin 400mm electromagnetic rail gun shells, thousands of them can be produced!
Such terrifying power is enough to destroy every inch of space covered by the fireball even if it erupts outside the space station's shields and armor belts, not to mention that it is inside the space station.
The Stardust bonding area and conveyor area are the work areas that most need a safe environment. If it were normal times, even a tiny spark might cause a disaster. But now the bonding area is more than ten kilometers long. The area is filled with bright yellow or even pale white flames and deadly high temperatures, and there is not even a single pure land where people can stand.
Soon the power of the explosion rushed wildly towards the stardust transport area along the pipes and intermediate areas connecting the two sections. The explosive particles pushed forward by the shock wave along the way became more and more active and began to come into contact with them. Wonderful chemical reactions occur with any substance - whether metal or non-metal, liquid or gas.
Even a cup of clean water can turn into a highly lethal high-explosive grenade under the impact of explosive particles, not to mention the extremely dangerous flammable and explosive materials in the warehouse.
...
Before the long line of flames and shock waves reached their final destination, the ship parking areas and multi-functional areas on both sides of the explosion area were violently shaken by the sudden and shocking explosion. Even the portholes that could protect against bullets were shaken by the sudden and shocking explosion. The overall structure of the space station suddenly became distorted and a large number of cracks appeared. Some simply burst open and turned into glass shards all over the ground.
The Qien workers in various evacuation sections who did not know what was happening also screamed in surprise because of the sudden dimming of the lights above their heads. However, due to the guards' watchfulness and their trust in the armored gates, there was no confusion among them. , but whispered to the people around him.
Unfortunately, for the shock waves and explosive fireballs that are still accelerating, the two seemingly insurmountable buffer zones are just their final warm-up before sprinting.
When the tens of meters thick gate appeared in front of the first fire dragon to reach its destination, although the explosive particles had no thoughts of their own, at that moment everyone in the space station seemed to hear the fire dragon's excited roar.
As an unparalleled force hit the safety gate, the gate, which could withstand the bombardment of the main ship's naval gun for half an hour, suddenly dented inward, causing the guards guarding the door to look at each other in confusion. Should you trust the quality of the gate or leave here quickly.
Without giving them much time to think or hesitate, they quickly ran into the space station several times. The shock wave that brought the energy contained in the explosive particles to a higher level struck again, like a fire demon that refused to admit defeat. It hit the gate again and again, each time making the gate dent a little inward.
Just as the flame demon released by Hakak and his two men began to lose strength due to the continuous impact, the huge amount of stardust that had not yet been sorted in the stardust conveying area was also detonated by continuous burning and high temperature, and just as It was this violent dust explosion that provided the final strength for this ferocious beast that chose people to eat.
"Boom! Boom boom boom..."
The demon, which combined the explosion of explosive particles, the explosion of dangerous goods in the warehouse, the explosion of refining equipment and the explosion of stardust air masses, let out a roar that could be heard in the entire space station, and then hit the target who was only just short of kicking it. A large opening several meters wide was opened on the alloy gate.
At this time, the gate is like a dam that has burst. As long as a hole is opened, the steady flood will wash away the entire dam. Following the increasingly larger cracks in the gate, the flame beasts that poured into the saucer-shaped multi-functional area began to enjoy the trophies they had obtained with their bravery - the benefactors who had gathered together out of fear and despair.
The power of the explosion, which completely exceeded expectations, instantly plunged the multi-functional area into a sea of flames like the refining section. Thousands of Qien people were pushed to the ground by the powerful shock wave.
The lucky ones can rely on the bodies of their companions as a buffer, lying on the ground like a stack of arhats to survive for a few more seconds, while the unlucky ones are directly lifted up by the storm and hit various metals at speeds of hundreds of meters per second. The walls and obstacles they built turned into a pool of blood and mud, and the fire that followed burned them both to ashes, giving the benefactors with different fortunes the same fate.
Until the gate of the command section was breached by the fire dragon, and countless space station facilities were turned into powder by explosions happening everywhere, the old station commander still didn't understand why he just sent two drunkards to execute the self-destruction order. Why did this happen? things.
The webmaster, who didn't want to be a fool, finally thought of a reasonable explanation before the flames licked his body - it must be because Hakak and Nadine drank too much and there was something wrong with the operating procedures. This mistake led to the serious consequences of the current space station being completely destroyed.
"Oh, drinking makes things worse..."
After sighing unwillingly, the stationmaster's body, along with the workers and soldiers who once belonged to him, turned into a wisp of smoke in the vast nebula.
...
Vice Admiral James Drake, who was sitting on the battlecruiser Conqueror and witnessed the entire explosion through the big screen, was sitting on his commander's throne with his mouth open, and beside him was a group of people. A naval officer who is also puzzled by the strange behavior of the Qien people.
"This, this isn't right."
After holding it in for a long time, Sir James, who didn't know what to say, said to himself in confusion: "I just ordered them to destroy the refining function of the space station. Did they also blow up themselves?"
If it were not for the need to consider the reputation of the Federation in the Galaxy Community and the public opinion in the galaxy, he would not choose this method of causing less harm to the enemy. As a result, Jazz now understands that Qien people have a strong tendency to self-destruct, otherwise such a thing would not be possible!
This is like a strong man holding a gun putting the muzzle of the gun on the head of an unarmed weakling, saying that as long as the weakling is willing to harm himself, he can survive by taking off his arms, legs, etc., but the other party actually chose the most extreme option Way, would rather commit suicide than accept the request of the strong.
Even for the so-called loyalty and honor, this kind of self-destruction for no reason deeply shocked the more than 100,000 naval officers and soldiers on the more than 100 ships of the Kraken fleet, and they were convinced that they were in the Federation and were born as human beings. Feel very lucky.
After hesitating for a while, Sir James still issued an order to the fleet to leave immediately, without taking the risk of sending a spaceship to rescue the wounded. With the current space station being cut off by a third of the explosion, it is most likely that there will be survivors. Judging from the fact that the saucer-shaped area resembled a fire-breathing flying saucer, he didn't think there would be many survivors in the space station.
So with deep confusion and confusion, Sir James wrote in his own commander's diary: "On September 7, thirty-three years of the Federation's new calendar, I led the Kraken fleet to destroy a ship belonging to The Nebula Refining Station of the Qien Empire. But during the operation, the strong will and unyielding spirit shown by the enemy gave me a greater impression."
Putting down the pen in his hand, James, who was sitting in the captain's office, stood up and stretched his muscles, then sat down and continued writing in the log.
"If all the citizens of the Chien Empire had such a will, the progress of the war might be different from what Constantine predicted, because such a proud race would never bow to the Federation before being completely defeated."
