Sixty-four years ago today, on October 30, 1961 (September 21, 1961 in the lunar calendar), the Soviet Union conducted the largest nuclear test in the world. The Soviet Union's first atomic bomb, which is similar in shape to a super hydrogen bomb. On May 1, 1960, an American U-2 spy plane piloted by Powers was shot down over Sverdlovsk, Soviet Union. Since then, Khrushchev has said more than once, "Show the United States something powerful." During this period. The development of a super hydrogen bomb with a yield of 100 million tons of TNT has been completed in the top secret laboratory of "Arzamas-16". It is 10,000 times greater than the equivalent of the American atomic bomb that razed Hiroshima, Japan, to the ground in 1945. If such a super hydrogen bomb exploded over Moscow, Moscow would disappear from the earth. Drop it in New York, and New York will be reduced to ashes along with its skyscrapers. Even if you hide deep under the subway, you can't survive. Because all the entrances and exits of the subway will be melted down by flames. Cities within 700 kilometers of the explosion center are also doomed. For example, Turab in Russia or Philadelphia in the United States will be completely destroyed, and Kursk, Petersburg or Boston will be largely destroyed. This is what we know as a super hydrogen bomb. In the summer of 1961, the Soviet super hydrogen bomb had been built, and all that remained was a matter of testing. Finally, it was decided to carry out the explosion at the Novaya Zemlya test site. The test site occupies the entire Novaya Zemlya, covering an area of 82,600 square kilometers. On October 30, 1961, the hydrogen bomb was loaded into the Tu-95 strategic bomber. The main problem is how the bomber can get out of the kill zone in time before the hydrogen bomb explodes. The hydrogen bomb will explode at an altitude of 4.5 kilometers and was dropped at an altitude of 15 kilometers, the highest altitude that the Tu-95 can climb. Three parachutes opened almost simultaneously. The crew had 17 minutes to use before the hydrogen bomb exploded. The Tu-95 left the bombing site at the fastest speed (subsonic speed) and flew 250 kilometers before the hydrogen bomb exploded. The dazzling red light emitted after the explosion pierced the cockpit. Fortunately, the crew had put on sunglasses in advance. The plane continued to escape like lightning, but the shock wave came even faster. It dropped the plane up and down. Behind him formed a depressing mushroom cloud that no resident of Novaya Zemlya had ever seen before. It rapidly expands and spirals up, straight into the atmosphere. There is a news documentary documenting the explosion in the "Arzamas-16" museum. This documentary has not met the audience so far. At the explosion site, ice cubes 3 meters thick and 15-20 kilometers in diameter were melted. People who participated in the experiment hid in the basement 2OO kilometers away, so they felt as if they had been jacked up. They heard a powerful muffled sound, which made people feel frightened and thought the end of the world was coming. The fortifications placed at the explosion site for testing disappeared without a trace. The turret of the tank was destroyed, lying on the ground with its bent or broken shell. Experimental animals were also placed at the explosion site, but the people in charge of the experiment couldn't bear to talk about them. The whole world knows what happened in Novaya Zemlya. The explosion of the super hydrogen bomb can't be hidden from people, and all seismic stations have records. Khrushchev was satisfied with the result of the explosion. He said in a speech: "We still have a more powerful hydrogen bomb, but we don't want to test it because we are worried that our windows will be blown away." From a military point of view, it is hard to understand that it will only destroy the planet. But who needs this victory? The "Arzamas-16" laboratory has also developed a hydrogen bomb with an equivalent of 1 billion tons of TNT. If this hydrogen bomb explodes, the waves as high as 1 kilometer caused by the tsunami will overflow the entire American continent, thus destroying the "fortress of imperialism" forever.
