Doomsday Code

Chapter 1016 Experiment

Hearing Simov's scolding, the man's face, which was tanned dark from years of searching for minerals, flushed red.

He wanted to explain, but the data doesn't lie.

Meanwhile, Chen Cheng, who was observing the meeting, frowned. He didn't doubt that it might be a staff member's mistake, but according to this person, even if there was one mistake, it was impossible for the mistake to happen every time.

At this moment, Huidun also understood the situation clearly, and he frowned.

He's no longer a novice. Although Simov and his team are in charge, he's very clear about the process of manufacturing the dog-beating stick.

Without the original ore, all the preliminary data calculations are just a pile of waste paper.

Although the situation was urgent, Huidun did not interrupt their meeting. After all, his understanding was not yet comprehensive, and he was not an expert in this field. He decided to wait for Simov's report later.

Simov waved his hand and then told the man to get out of the conference room.

This was the biggest outburst he had made since taking office.

As the person in charge of the project, he was very clear about how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources had to be invested in advance to advance the project.

If a mistake occurs in the simplest part—raw ore—and the entire project comes to a standstill, he would be so angry he'd jump off a building.

He took a few deep breaths, then looked at the others and said:

"Alright, let's continue the meeting."

However, I must say that after we return this time, each group and department needs to allocate some personnel to review all the work you've done previously. I don't want a repeat of his situation, or else don't blame me for being ruthless.”

Then Simov signaled to the other groups and departments to continue their presentations.

"The basic explosion model based on data calculations has entered the physical preparation stage. However, in order to achieve the detonation propulsion force in the data, we still need to find a new initiating explosive formula."

"That's easy. The archive contains the formula for rapid-reaction explosives. You just need to copy it exactly."

If it doesn't meet the requirements, try a few more times. If you have any ideas, you can also experiment with them.

Simov was not a dogmatic person. Many of the chemical formulas that Chen Cheng provided actually failed to meet the data requirements when they were actually replicated.

Of course, it can't be said that Chen Cheng's recipe was wrong. It's just that this world is not Chen Cheng's previous life on Earth. Naturally, sometimes there may be extra chemical elements in the chemical reaction that exist in this world, which will lead to some minor deviations.

After each group finished reporting their questions about the dog-beating stick project, Simov wrote down all the questions they had raised.

He would check off the problems that had been solved and put a question mark on the problems that had not been solved or for which he had no idea how to solve them. Then he would go to the archives to find the information Chen Cheng had given him, or find someone to help him solve these problems.

"Alright, now that we've covered the serious stuff, and you've all been on edge all morning, let's talk about something lighter."

"Let's start with your experimental group. How's the preparation for the final experiment to completely bring our Dragon Flame project to fruition?"

Meanwhile, Huidun, who was beside Chen Cheng, was whispering in his ear explaining what the Dragon Flame Project was.

The "Dragon Flame" mentioned here is actually the code name for a thermobaric bomb.

This project was the first project established when the research institute was founded. However, due to limitations in the technology of accelerants and how to evenly distribute them to maximize the kill radius, it has only now been truly implemented.

The project had already undergone several rounds of testing, and more than a month ago it was said that the final testing was completed and it was ready to enter the production phase.

This final landing test is actually an entry-into-service test for the first batch of mass-produced Dragon Flame Bullets. As long as the test data passes, then it can be said to be a qualified piece of equipment to be put into service.

As Chen Cheng listened to Huidun's introduction, he raised an eyebrow.

In his previous life, this thermobaric weapon was known as the number one conventional weapon, a deadly weapon specifically designed to kill enemy personnel.

"Can I go and see this experiment?"

Chen Cheng asked Huidun in a low voice.

"You come with me."

Huidun then led Chen Cheng out of the conference room. After leaving the conference room, Huidun led Chen Cheng through the underground cave.

After several twists and turns, Huidun led Chen Cheng to a room of about ten square meters with only one observation window.

"This is the observation room of the underground experimental field. Outside is the largest part of the entire cavern, an underground experimental field that is over two thousand meters deep and several hundred meters high."

This testing ground was specifically prepared for the Dragon Flame Bullet. After seeing the evaluation data you provided, the testing ground was already being excavated.

Conducting this experiment anywhere outside is not a safe option.

Chen Cheng opened the observation window and looked out. The huge searchlights illuminated the vast underground experimental field. Chen Cheng had never seen such a massive underground project in his past and present lives.

Fortunately, this is a world with magic; otherwise, a cave like this would have collapsed long ago, let alone been dug out.

"I think this is probably for that dog-beating stick. Thermobaric bombs don't need such a huge testing ground."

Chen Cheng looked down at the rows of experimental buildings under the searchlight; below lay a small, deserted ghost town.

However, Huidun revealed a mysterious smile and said:

"That's not necessarily the case."

Then Huidun pointed to the staff who were entering the site to place the experimental missiles and said:

"You can see for yourself, the fact that we prepared such a large venue is definitely not unnecessary."

Although they were hundreds or even thousands of meters apart, Chen Cheng's eyesight was still sharp enough to clearly see the direction the Shield of Wisdom was pointing.

It was on a street in the ghost town below, and the workers took out a bunch of modular parts and several huge tanks from their waist pouches, and then assembled them right before his eyes.

After they finished assembling it, a huge bomb, larger than three adult men, appeared there.

By the time the projectile was assembled, the other personnel, including those transporting live poultry and some magical beasts to serve as biological samples, were also ready.

The staff were quickly evacuated, and the searchlights that were providing illumination were turned off one by one.

At this moment, Huidun handed Chen Cheng a pair of soundproof earmuffs.

"Get ready, the experiment is about to begin."

He put on earmuffs, and to prevent the explosion from being too loud, Chen Cheng even severed his auditory nerves, making himself completely deaf.

Chen Cheng heard no sound. Through the observation window, he could only see that at a certain moment, a fireball suddenly lit up in the ghost city below. Then the fireball rose instantly and quickly engulfed an area of ​​tens or hundreds of meters in radius.

Then, the massive shockwave generated by the exploding compressed air blasted the buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters into dust with a deafening roar. The living birds and monsters were also instantly turned into mincemeat as if struck by a thousand-pound hammer.

The impact with the wall nearly caused Chen Cheng, who was in the observation room thousands of meters away, to lose his footing.

A wave of heat, carrying the pungent smell of burnt flesh, surged into the observation room through the observation port, causing the temperature inside to rise rapidly.

After everything quieted down, Chen Cheng reconnected his auditory nerve.

The sudden return of sound made him dizzy, but fortunately they were far enough away from the experimental area that the shockwave did not cause any damage to their bodies.

One by one, the searchlights were turned on. It was clear that these searchlights had been turned off earlier to prevent them from being destroyed and had been put away.

By the light of the searchlight, you could see that the area within a radius of tens of meters of the explosion had been completely obliterated, with no trace of any buildings or creatures inside remaining. It was as if they had been instantly vaporized.

The buildings within a range of one hundred to several hundred meters all collapsed into ruins, and the creatures were crushed into mincemeat, their original appearance completely unrecognizable.

Even the most distant buildings and creatures were greatly affected; fragile items such as crystal glass were shattered, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on houses.

Most of those creatures were bleeding from all seven orifices, and only some powerful magical beasts were still alive.
