"Is it so powerful!?"

"This is impossible!"

The first few officers who were watching the explosion experiment and reacted from the bunker all looked incredulous. The intensity of the shock wave caused by the explosion was obviously beyond their imagination.

The dozen or so technicians who came with him, including Guo Tiemin, immediately came behind the monitoring instrument controller, waiting for the final experimental results.

But no matter what, the power of Xu Qiang's CL-01 explosives is absolutely obvious to all. It is indeed a very powerful high-energy explosive. It is obviously more than one level higher in power than any other explosive tests they have seen before!
"Come out, come out!"

Seeing the fluctuating curves on the instrument's display screen, everyone's expressions began to become excited.

"How's the experiment going?"

Looking at the curves filling the screen, Guo Tiemin asked.

"The explosion temperature at the center is 6200 degrees Celsius, which is very high..." The technician who was monitoring the equipment also had an unbelievable look on his face. He continued, "The shock wave speeds sensed by the other fourteen sensors have also come out, with the highest reaching 8900 meters per second..."

"Uh." Hearing this, Guo Tiemin nodded as if he understood, and then asked: "Is it more powerful than the TNT explosives we are using now?"

Guo Tiemin is not a technical person, and he does not understand the technical data of these explosions at all. In his mind, as long as it can exceed the most powerful TNT explosives in the country, it is already very powerful.

"Each kilogram of TNT can generate 420 million joules of energy, the temperature at the center of the explosion is about 4200 degrees Celsius, and the maximum detonation speed is meters per second..." The technician began to give Guo Tiemin a detailed explanation, and he finally said: "From the data of various tests, the power of this new type of explosive is at least three times that of TNT, and the killing radius is a full double. It is an extremely amazing explosive!"

"Uh." Hearing this, Guo Tiemin showed a look of sudden realization.

"Clap clap clap!"

The next moment, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Qiang, and warm applause broke out in the tunnel.

"Amazing!"

"That's amazing! I thought it was a 155mm shell that exploded!"

"Congratulations, Comrade Xu Qiang. Your invention is amazing..."

For a moment, everyone came forward to shake hands with Xu Qiang and congratulate him.

The test results of the explosion just now really convinced these people. After all, most of them were soldiers who had experienced the test of war and had personal experience with various explosives. So the moment the explosion started, they had already felt the power of this explosive.

An explosive weighing only 50 grams has such amazing power. It is hard to imagine what kind of incredible power it will produce if this kind of explosive is loaded into a blockbuster bomb. It is simply unimaginable.

In fact, the power of the CL-01 explosive developed by Xu Qiang is not much different from the fourth-generation explosive CL-20 developed later. The power of the heavy bomb loaded with this explosive is almost equivalent to that of a sub-nuclear bomb.

曾经1983年10月23日凌晨6点，贝鲁特国际机场旁的一座4层大楼里，美第32两栖作战分队的300多名海军陆战队员，还在睡梦中尚未醒来。

At 6:20, a Mercedes-Benz heavy truck slowly drove towards the building. At this time, the two sentries on duty at the door spotted the truck approaching from a distance.

After attempts to stop it failed, the heavy truck rushed directly into the entrance on the first floor of the building.

With a loud bang, the eight pillars supporting the building were immediately blown off. The huge shock wave blew the building to pieces. Dust and countless explosives were blown into the air. The people in the house were either blown into the air by the air waves or crushed by the collapsed building. 8 people were killed on the spot and only 241 survived.

The American troops at the distant base were all in a panic, looking at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, thinking that someone had used a tactical nuclear weapon.

After testing the explosives at the scene, the Americans were shocked to find that what the other party used was a plastic explosive called C4, which is composed of explosives, plasticizers, labeling agents and plastic adhesives.

Because of this, C4 explosives can change their shape at will, and except for being detonated by detonators, they will not explode even if shot directly by bullets. So even though the French army had so many bullets that the trucks were riddled with sieves, the trucks still rushed towards them.

Moreover, this explosive is extremely powerful, 1.34 times more powerful than TNT, and the explosion speed reaches an astonishing 8040 meters per second. The CL-01 explosive developed by Xu Qiang this time is much more powerful than C4 explosives. It is estimated that only a few hundred kilograms of explosives are needed to raze all buildings within a radius of two kilometers to the ground. Under the dual killing of high temperature and shock waves, there will basically be no living things within this radius!

"Well done!"

After some more questioning, Guo Tiemin finally walked up to Xu Qiang, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled for the first time in a long time.

"That's awesome!" Guo Rui and his group, who had been nervously watching the explosion, came over with smiles on their faces and hugged Xu Qiang.

No one in the project team, including Guo Rui, had expected that Xu Qiang had actually made a new type of high-energy explosive, and its power far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Unlike the military officers and Minister Guo Tiemin who were watching the experiment, they were all senior experts who had worked with Professor Xu Yuanming on developing various types of explosives for more than ten years and had experienced many explosion experiments. So when they saw the test data, everyone seemed extremely excited, and some of them even had tears in their eyes.

Most importantly, the success of this test has many important meanings. On the one hand, Xu Qiang broke through the key technical bottleneck and raised the level of domestic explosives to the international leading level. On the other hand, Xu Qiang was entrusted with the task and took over the unfinished project by Xu Yuanming, and achieved very amazing results. This also officially established Xu Qiang's position as the number one in the field of high-energy explosives in China!

For Guo Rui and others, the success of the project means that they, the project team members, will also receive national honors and awards, and their future is bright!
"The results of this test are out. Comrade Xu Qiang is truly worthy of being a national treasure-level young talent of our country." At this time, Hu Weiming, director of the Eighth Office of Institute 201, walked over excitedly with a stack of data charts printed out by the machine and shook hands with Xu Qiang.

Hu Weiming was the person in charge of this explosion experiment, and most of the instruments used on site were brought by him from BJ.

Before, Hu Weiming had led the team to participate in the explosives detection and acceptance work of Professor Xu Yuanming's research and development team many times. Later, after Xu Yuanming was seriously injured in the accident and was hospitalized, he took the lead in organizing a donation and consolation activity in the institute.

Therefore, Hu Weiming has always been very concerned about the 8702 project. After learning that Xu Qiang was going to do experiments in Shanghai, he organized relevant technical personnel and left BJ for Shanghai that day.

The success of this explosion experiment also put Hu Weiming's mind at ease. After all, he had always felt sorry for Xu Yuanming and his project, and Xu Qiang finally put a perfect end to this story!

"Director Guo, Comrade Duan Yun, to celebrate the success of today's experiment, we have prepared food. Let's celebrate together." At this time, Captain Li came over and said to Xu Qiang with a smile on his face.

"Well, let's have dinner together." Guo Tiemin nodded when he heard this.

"Okay." Xu Qiang also responded.

So, while other technicians were helping to pack up various instruments, Xu Qiang and Guo Tiemin had already followed the regiment leader Li Wei to the regiment's guesthouse.

It was almost noon. Walking on the road in the military zone, some soldiers from the guard platoon and command company who had completed the morning training were lined up in an orderly manner and heading towards the canteen, shouting slogans along the way, looking very imposing.

In fact, compared with ordinary workers and residents in the area, although the soldiers in the army only have very little allowance, the food standard here is quite good. The daily supply of meat and eggs is very sufficient, even much better than that of workers in state-owned enterprises.

The guesthouse is located behind the regiment headquarters building. Since we had been notified, the food was prepared here early in the morning.

Under the arrangement of Captain Li, all general staff involved in the experiment had a dinner on the first floor, while Xu Qiang, Guo Tiemin, Hu Weiming and several local military leaders who came to visit the experiment were treated as VIPs and led by Captain Li to a private room on the second floor.

"Today we have really broadened our horizons. We never expected that this new explosive would be so powerful. I was standing in the trench just now and my ears were buzzing. It took me a long time to recover..."

"If this thing were loaded into a 155-caliber shell, I think one shot would be enough to bring down a building!"

"Comrade Xu Qiang, you are truly amazing..."

As soon as everyone sat down, they started talking about today's explosion experiment, and they all praised Xu Qiang's technical ability.

Indeed, no one had expected that the high-energy explosives developed by Xu Qiang this time would be so powerful. It was almost the first time in the lives of these soldiers that they had seen anything like it, and it left a very deep impression on them.

"Xiao Xu has made a great contribution this time. I never thought that Professor Xu had not been able to produce results for several years before, but Comrade Xu Qiang completed them in less than half a year, and the performance is so good..." At this time, Hu Weiming was full of emotion, and then said: "Today's young scientific researchers are really the waves behind the Yangtze River, and each generation is stronger than the previous one... After this experiment, I feel that we old guys should retire and give the stage to these young people..."

"Haha, that won't do." Guo Tiemin smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "At present, our country has only produced one young top talent like Xu Qiang. Most young people are not able to take on such heavy responsibilities, so the country still cannot do without scientific research veterans like you, Lao Hu. Just work with peace of mind and don't think about retirement..." (End of this chapter)
