Chapter 122 Tesla’s magnetic storm coil?
But Ye Zhen didn't continue talking.
Instead, he wrote "Apocalypse Wang Gong Factory Explosion" on the blackboard.
The audience used their imagination.
“Isn’t this Ganoderma lucidum just a mushroom cloud?”
"A mushroom cloud actually appeared. How huge was this explosion?"
"There are zombies and filth all over the ground. Could this be the radiation after the nuclear explosion?"
"It looks very similar to me. It's very much like the scene after a nuclear explosion. You can see that people are completely rotten."
After all, the time for this to happen was very close.
Although it was ancient times, there were many people involved at that time.
From the royal palace to the common people, the records are also very detailed.
There have been many hypotheses since this incident.
Among them are hypotheses such as tornadoes, meteorites, earthquakes, etc.
But none of them could explain the signs of what was happening.
A smile appeared on Ye Zhen's face, "Why is it an unsolved mystery?"
"It is because various explanations cannot perfectly explain the phenomenon at that time, so it has become an unsolved mystery."
"But besides this, there is another one that is closer to modern times."
"This is the Tunguska explosion."
Ye Zhen clicked on the name on the blackboard.
"This explosion is extraordinary because it is known as the largest explosion recorded in human history."
"It happened at about 1908 o'clock in the morning on June 6, 30 in the former Soviet Union."
"In Siberia, near the Tunguska River."
"So it is also called the Tunguska explosion."
The largest explosion ever recorded by mankind? The audience began to wonder how big an explosion would be described in this way.
Then Ye Zhen continued.
"The explosion destroyed 2000 square kilometers of coniferous forest in the region, knocking down approximately 8 million trees."
"What is the concept of this explosion?"
"The explosion was recorded by seismic stations across Eurasia."
"The unstable air pressure it caused was even detected by the automatic air pressure recorder just invented in Britain at the time."
"In the days following the incident, the night skies across Asia and Europe turned dark red."
"It directly affected the two continents of Europe and Asia."
Only then did the audience realize what an exaggerated explosion this was.
"In addition to this, people in many European countries saw daylight-like flashes in the night sky."
"Even as far away as the United States on the other side of the ocean, people felt the earth shaking."
After Ye Zhen's description, although it was only a few simple sentences.
But everyone already has an idea.
"Compared with this Tunguska explosion, the Apocalypse explosion just now is a younger brother."
"This big explosion almost affected the entire Blue Star!"
"No wonder it is called the largest explosion in human history."
"Isn't this the Soviet Union's nuclear bomb experiment? The biggest hydrogen bomb czar?"
Tsar Bomba is also known as Ivan the Great.
It is said to be the most powerful hydrogen bomb ever developed by mankind.
"But it was only 1908, and humans had not yet developed a nuclear bomb!"
Yes, this is where the loophole lies.
At that time, mankind's most destructive weapon, the nuclear bomb, had not yet been developed.
So what exactly caused the Tunguska explosion that year? Ye Zhen continued: "The former Soviet Union was in a period of turmoil in 1908."
"And this is an area that belongs to Siberia and is basically sparsely populated."
"Everyone knows that the former Soviet Union was a sparsely populated place."
"So such a big explosion did not cause any casualties."
"It wasn't until 1927, after the former Soviet Union handled its domestic affairs."
"Only I have the energy to pay attention to what's happening here, but it's already been 19 years since the big bang."
"It was only then that the former Soviet Union sent people to find out what was going on here."
"When we got there, we found scorched earth all over the ground, and the trees were all falling in one direction."
"They were looking directly in the direction of the trees to find the crater."
"But the strange thing is that no craters were found."
Because the view at the time was that there was such a huge explosion.
It could only be caused by meteorites.
And according to residents of towns 650 kilometers away.
I saw a huge fireball falling from the sky back then.
Directly lighting up half the there was a loud bang and the glass of their house shattered.
So they remember very well what happened back then.
"The strange thing is that the dinosaurs were destroyed by a huge meteorite in this way 6500 million years ago."
"Logically speaking, such a huge explosion will definitely leave a very conspicuous crater."
"But the former Soviet Union's investigation team did not find even a single suitable crater."
"The most amazing thing is that there are actually some trees in the central area that have not fallen down and are still standing."
"The former Soviet investigation team returned in vain because they could not find the crater."
"I can't find the reason. What exactly caused this big explosion."
"If there is no crater, then there must be fragments of the meteorite."
"But I searched all around and couldn't find any meteorite fragments."
If the nuclear bomb had been invented back then, they might have thought about this.
It is a pity that the first nuclear bomb was only born in 1945.
Therefore, the former Soviet investigation team always believed that it was caused by meteorites.
It also attracted worldwide attention back then.
Because this explosion affected the two continents of Europe and Asia.
At the same time, it is felt in countries across the ocean.
They also want to know what exactly caused such an impact.
If it were a weapon, wouldn't it mean that anyone who mastered such a weapon would be invincible on Blue Star?
"Many scientists proposed different hypotheses back then."
Ye Zhen projected on the screen the speculations written by some scientists back then.
"At that time, an American physicist speculated that this might be caused by the explosion of a small black hole."
"He also listed all the theoretical possibilities that could happen in his paper."
"There is also the meteorite theory. Some astronomers insist that it was caused by a meteorite explosion."
"The second thing is the comet. I think it was a comet exploding at high altitude."
"So there aren't any meteorite fragments to be found."
We all know that comets are generally a combination of ice, water, dust and gas.
"And it's thought that the big puddle there was formed after the comet exploded."
"But the Soviet investigation team found that the water in the puddle was formed from permafrost and had nothing to do with comets."
"But there are also some people who are very imaginative. This was when Tesla was studying magnetic storm weapons."
"Accidentally directed the explosion to this location in Siberia."
"Because it was caused by Tesla, but this is just speculation without evidence."
"It wasn't until the nuclear bomb was developed that the former Soviet team went back to Tunguska again to find the truth."
After the nuclear bomb was developed that year.
And after Japan sent two of them.
This is the first time humans have seen the scene after a nuclear bomb exploded.
After seeing it, scientists from the former Soviet Union thought of the Tunguska explosion.
Is it possible that what happened in Tunguska that year was a nuclear explosion?
"So they immediately sent people to Tunguska to study it."
"According to calculations, the power of the explosion here is more than 1000 times that of the atomic bomb dropped by Japan!"
"The equivalent of 2000 million tons of TNT."
"It was also found that animals there were suffering from a skin disease called leprosy, which was very similar to the skin disease caused by radiation in local cattle herds after the United States conducted nuclear testing in New Mexico in 1945."
"Finally, it was discovered that after so many years, the local trees grew abnormally, very similar to the trees after the nuclear explosion."
"That's why it was considered that the Tunguska explosion might have been a nuclear explosion here."
"And scientists have highly magnified the soil collected from the Tunguska explosion zone."
"It turned out that there were spherical silicic acid compounds and magnetite."
"They are only a few millimeters in size, and some of the magnetite particles are stuck in a string, and some are even drilled into the transparent silicate particles."
"And these particles only stick together at extremely high temperatures."
"After analysis, cobalt, nickel, copper, iridium, germanium and other metals were found."
"But the strange thing is that no traces of nuclear radiation were found locally."
"This is where it gets weird."
There are obviously many signs that a nuclear explosion occurred here.
However, no signs of nuclear radiation were found.
Why is this?
Humanity's first atomic bomb was successfully tested in 1945.
What exactly is going on?
Like nuclear reactors 20 billion years ago.
Is it caused by something far beyond human technology? (End of this chapter)
