Chapter 77 - Broken Arrow
Liao Fei inclined his head and saw the two sets of clothes nearby, looking more nervous, as if he saw the devil in hell.
The fact that it was immediately a box and two sets of clothes that stunned Liao Fei, an agent who is usually unfazed by changes, is proof of how shocking these things are.
Wang Liqiang and others searched the second floor and didn't even see a ghost, just found that someone had lived here for a few days and left a lot of garbage. They didn't find anyone and came down to rejoin Liao Fei. When they came behind Liao Fei, they found him standing motionless in the doorway. Wang Liqiang and the others immediately raised their guns, thinking that Liao Fei was being pointed at with a gun, that's why he didn't move.
Liao Fei turned around and saw them and whispered, "There is no one."
The people put down their guns and were about to come over when Liao Fei barked, "Don't come over, back off."
"What's wrong?" He Jiayu asked nervously.
"Call the Security Bureau and tell them to come over immediately. Hurry!" Liao Fei finished speaking and walked in.
Several people looked at each other, and while He Jiayu called the Security Bureau, Wang Liqiang came to the door curiously. He saw Liao Fei walking to the front of the box and became dumbfounded for a moment.
Xiao Jianping three people looked dumbfounded! What was inside? Is there a prehistoric monster, or Henry VI popped out again? How to see the room looked like this. They just moved their feet, Wang Liqiang also shouted: "Do not come over, back."
This time, not only Xiao Jianping was dumb, but He Jiayu also looked at the door of the room frequently, and her curiosity was simply going to break through the sky.
Liao Fei walked out of the room with a sullen face and said, "There are two sets of radiation-protective clothing and a box with a nuclear symbol in the room. We have to get out of here quickly."
As soon as they heard about the box with the nuclear symbol, everyone's face looked as ugly as constipation. Nuclear radiation is silent, but the damage is huge, who is not afraid of their own radiation! No wonder Liao Fei did not allow them to approach, is afraid that they are exposed to radiation. He even risked the huge risk of being radiated, and went directly into the room to check if the box was empty.
Several people walked out of this small castle-like building, all with black faces. He Jiayu is very worried about Liao Fei being radiated, this worry is not the least bit worse than finding Lin Jiaqin.
Wang Liqiang also saw the box's big smile and asked, "Can you tell what this is the box that contains?"
Liao Fei nodded and said, "A nuclear bomb."
"What?" Wang Liqiang exclaimed, he thought it was a box for nuclear materials, at most Carlos was going to get a few dirty bombs. If it was a nuclear bomb, it would be a big deal!
Dirty bomb, also known as radioactive bombs, is by detonating traditional explosives such as yellow explosives, etc., through the huge explosive force, the contained radioactive substances, mainly radioactive particles, ejected scattered into the air, resulting in the equivalent of nuclear radioactive dust pollution, the formation of catastrophic ecological damage to the radiation dispersion bomb. It dirty bomb can cause human casualties. Depending on the radioactive material contained in the bomb, the detonating explosive, and the size of the wind speed and evacuation speed at the time of the explosion, the lethality of dirty bombs varies. Although the amount of radiation released by a dirty bomb is small, the radiation fallout can spread over several blocks. Depending on the blast effect, a dirty bomb may kill and injure more people than a conventional bomb. In addition, radiation can cause radiation sickness such as nausea, vomiting and blood problems in people, and may cause cancer. Radiation levels in the environment that are 1,000 times higher than normal can kill 80 percent of people, and areas that are attacked can be restricted from people for months.
Unlike traditional nuclear weapons, a dirty bomb has a very simple detonation process. The people who make the bombs have easy access to potent explosives. Radioactive materials can be used in hospitals in nuclear medicine using small amounts of radioactive materials such as cesium-137. cobalt-60 used in food radiation plants to destroy harmful bacteria in food. and many discarded nuclear batteries scattered throughout the former Soviet Union. These portable thermoelectric generators contain considerable amounts of the high-performance radioactive isotope strontium-90. even low-level radioactive material from smoke alarms can be mixed together if conditions do not permit.
So simple to make, dirty bombs have become a favorite of terrorists. They are as simple in construction and easy to make as other common explosive devices, and they are small and easy to carry around. Not only is it more powerful, but it is also easier to cause panic among the population.
Even if the dirty bomb has heavy advantages, but it has a fatal weakness, that is, the power is too small, at most contaminated a few blocks, casualties are limited.
But the nuclear bomb is different, this thing explodes with great power. Now technology is not the previous atomic bomb thrown into Japan 'little boy', 60 kilograms of uranium-235, only about a kilogram in the explosion of nuclear fission, directly killed 70,000 people. Over 200,000 were injured and irradiated. The later nuclear weapons are all ten, a hundred, a thousand times more powerful than the Little Boy. A nuclear bomb if exploded in London, not to say the entire Greater London flat, at least the core of London have to be turned into flying ash, can never live in decades, the number of casualties at least over 2 million. After the nuclear explosion, radiation along with the air flow, will cause more damage.
Such a huge power, the consequences of terror, Wang Liqiang and others if not scared silly. Not to mention that the nuclear bomb may not explode in London, if it explodes here, they will all die instantly.
Xiao Jianping asked: "Carlos can not get the nuclear bomb, right? This is the most important weapon of all countries."
Liao Fei laughed bitterly, "From 1950 to 1980, there were 32 officially declared nuclear bomb loss accidents in the U.S. over a 30-year period, and the data after that has not yet been released, but it is certainly not less. The U.S. Department of Defense has admitted to losing 11 nuclear bombs to the public. The former Soviet Union lost at least fifty nuclear bombs. Russia has officially announced the loss of more than 10 nuclear bombs. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia and Ukraine had an agreement that all nuclear warheads in Ukraine would be transferred to the Russian side for destruction or storage. in May 1992, the Ukrainian side began transferring warheads to the Russian side, and by June 1, 1996, the process was complete. Ukraine handed over 2,883 warheads to the Russians, while the Russians actually received only 2,633 warheads, of which 250 tactical warheads were lost. As many as 300 of these warheads were lost in plain sight. There are also said to be many suitcase tactical nuclear weapons, and there are at least three and possibly up to 20 in al-Qaeda alone."
Xiao Jianping's face turned green when he heard that so many nuclear warheads were unaccounted for, which made people sleepless when they thought about it. Asked, "Are the Americans not looking for the lost nuclear bombs, no corresponding measures?"
"The U.S. military classifies nuclear accidents into different levels based on the degree of danger and the scope of impact. A nuclear flash is the most serious nuclear accident, referring to a nuclear weapon explosion or unauthorized nuclear weapon launch that has the potential to cause war. Only this type of accident never happens. Broken arrows are the second class of nuclear accidents, referring to accidents related to nuclear weapons or nuclear components that do not create the risk of starting a nuclear war. An empty arrow pocket represents the loss or theft of a nuclear weapon or a nuclear component. A nuclear weapon that is lost, damaged or burned, but does not explode, is referred to as a bent spear, with a blunt sword below the bent spear. These designations have corresponding dispositions. 1956 saw the mysterious disappearance of a U.S. Air Force b47 bomber over the Mediterranean Sea, carrying two nuclear warheads that are still unaccounted for. It is not that the United States does not want to recover its lost nuclear weapons. It's just that many nuclear bombs are either never found again, or else they sink with the submarine in 10,000 meters deep waters and cannot be salvaged." Liao Fei gave them a little knowledge.
He Jiayu asked, "How could they bring in nuclear weapons? Are the British intelligence organization and customs blind?"
"I'm afraid it's not that they're blind, but that Carlos has been operating in Britain for so long that someone has forgotten his ancestors and turned his back on his compatriots."
Liao Fei thought that there were always people in this world who would sell everything for money, and the word traitor was not the only word in the world; there were just as many American traitors, German traitors, and so on. He took out his phone and informed Tang Minghao of the possible nuclear bomb and asked him to notify the ambassador immediately.
Liao Fei and the others could not leave, and still had to try to rescue Lin Jiaqin. But the people from the embassy could evacuate as soon as possible or inform the Chinese in London to leave the UK.
The knocked out agent in the hotel is found by the Good Samaritan and shaken awake, just before asking him what happened, the agent touches into his arms first, when he finds the gun is lost, his face changes drastically, and the Good Samaritan pours out a thank you and takes out his cell phone to contact Dobbs.
Dobbs learned that the agent was knocked unconscious, Liao Fei and others left, the weapon was also lost, immediately cursed Liao Fei trouble, took a few people to the hotel, did not wait until the Cambridge Hotel, he received orders from his superiors, He Jiayu and others called, let Dobbs and others immediately go to the King's College.
He came to King's College, saw Liao Fei, went over in anger, and yelled, "Liao Fei, what are you doing here? And knocking out my men."
"This is one of Carlos' strongholds, and the case with the nuclear bomb was found inside?"
"What did you say?" Dobbs thought he had heard wrong.
"There are boxes with nuclear bombs inside."
Dobbs looked at Liao Fei and didn't believe it at all. He walked towards the house and said, "If you lie to me, I'll make you look good."
After a few minutes, Dobbs walked out with a waxy face, looking disoriented.
He was in no mood to care about Liao Fei anymore and kept calling.
This matter directly to the ears of security bureau boss Holden, this boss are going crazy! If the hijacking is mainly the responsibility of the Secret Intelligence Service, but the explosion in the city of London, Lin Jiaqin was kidnapped and other times are related to him! Not waiting for him to find Carlos, and again the matter of nuclear bombs, he will be surprised if he does not go crazy!
Nuclear weapons experts, doctors, and special forces rushed in, the experts went to check the nuclear weapons box to test the nuclear radiation inside, and the doctors were preparing to 'sterilize' Liao Fei and the others so that they would not be contaminated with nuclear substances.
The nuclear radiation detector detected values on the box, proving that the box had spared nuclear weapons. The rest of the room was fine, and there was no harm to people.
The testing of Liao Fei and others was also good, several people were not exposed to nuclear radiation.
The nuclear weapons box shows that a nuclear warhead was placed here before, from the former Soviet Union. Now the box is here, indicating that the nuclear weapons were transferred and put in other locations. With careful thought, it is clear why Carlos' men would throw away this crate and use something else to bear the load. This can only prove that Carlos and the others put the nukes in something else, concealed, to be transported somewhere to be detonated!
Dobbs was worried sick at the thought of a nuclear bomb inside the UK, with millions of people about to be blown up or permanently damaged by radiation, with his family and friends in London.
The British Prime Minister, the Queen and others also received the news of the nuclear bomb and these people once again met urgently to study the response plan.
