Can only be detonated on the spot!
Two minutes later, the entire police station was thrown into chaos.
All Police Officers to the command hall?
Such news had not been encountered for many years.
Even the major case encountered a few days ago did not require the mobilization of the entire police station.
Immediately, everyone put down their work and rushed to the command hall.
The atmosphere of the entire police station became unusually tense and chaotic.
Urgent footsteps and whispered conversations echoed in the corridor, and an unspeakable tension filled the air.
As the Police Officers entered the command hall one after another, they found Director Yang already standing on the command platform, facing everyone with a solemn expression.
Behind him, a large screen displayed various surveillance footage and data information.
After everyone was seated, Director Yang spoke.
“Everyone, Li Team just called. An aerial bomb, suspected to be from the Anti-Japanese War period, was dug up at the Pedestrian Street construction site. It is initially estimated to weigh 1000 kilograms!”
Whoosh~~
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene.
Immediately after, Director Yang spoke again: “I have already notified ambulances, the fire department, and traffic police to rush to the scene.”
“The next task is very arduous, everyone listen carefully.”
“The map behind me is the current geographical location of the Pedestrian Street. There are 7 main traffic arteries, five residential areas, 8 commercial buildings, and numerous shopping malls and supermarkets, etc.”
“Considering the bomb's explosion range, your task is to evacuate all the surrounding population.”
“Team Chen, you take your team and be responsible for all the storefronts on the Pedestrian Street.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Zhang Team, take your team and be responsible for the Garden Residential Area. Be quick!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Team Qi, your task is to evacuate the Central Building.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Team Wang…”
“Old He…”
As one command after another was issued, everyone felt the suffocating sensation of an approaching storm.
They couldn't understand, wasn't it just a bomb?
Just remove it, or if that's not possible, dismantle it.
As for ambulances, fire departments, traffic police blocking roads, and even clearing out all nearby residents, how much work would that be?
It's too exaggerated!
However, in reality, this is not exaggerated at all; it can even be said to be a basic procedure.
No matter which country, once such an oversized unexploded bomb is found, this regulation must be followed.
You must understand that this is not as simple as finding a bomb.
It's a 1000-kilogram aerial bomb!
This is not a modern bomb, but an old antique from many years ago!
Given the technology at that time, it was not very safe to begin with, plus it had been buried in the soil and eroded by groundwater for many years.
Who knows if the ammunition has leaked, who knows if the firing pin and fuse have changed.
Although it didn't explode when it fell.
But that doesn't mean it's a dud!
Whether it's detonation, on-site dismantling, or transfer.
All will face huge risks.
Once it explodes, the first to bear the brunt will be the Police Officers of the Hazardous Materials Disposal Team.
Such a large aerial bomb, if not prepared in advance and an accident occurs, all the residents around the Pedestrian Street will suffer.
At that time, looking back now, these prior arrangements become perfectly reasonable.
As Director Yang finished assigning tasks, all the Police Officers in the police station were, so to speak, deployed en masse.
A large number of police cars drove out of the police station in sequence.
In addition, ambulances, fire departments, and the traffic police brigade, all three parties moved together.
When they converged on the road that was the only way to the Pedestrian Street, they formed a spectacular sight.
The entire West Sea City was shaken!
Countless red and blue flashing lights appeared exceptionally dazzling even in broad daylight.
The continuous sirens further created a sense of urgency and crisis.
Even on a sunny day with bright sunshine, it gave people a feeling of an impending storm.
On the streets, pedestrians and vehicles stopped to watch, too shocked to speak by the sudden scene.
Countless eyes watched this massive convoy, filled with confusion and curiosity.
Many private cars waiting at traffic lights voluntarily gave way, and if they encountered someone who didn't cooperate, they would be immediately pulled over and penalized.
In severely congested sections of the road, they would even drive against traffic!
With such an exaggerated scene, even a fool could tell that something big had happened.
Underneath, everyone was guessing if there was a major fire?
Otherwise, why would both ambulances and fire trucks be dispatched together?
People who didn't know the truth took out their phones to take photos and videos, wanting to record this rare moment.
On social media, this news quickly spread, attracting more attention and discussion.
Discussion groups, work groups, Tieba forums, all exploded.
The news came too suddenly, and no one knew what had happened. Everyone opened local forums wanting to see if there was any first-hand news.
[Police car long line .jpg]
— [What, what, what's going on again? Why do I keep seeing large numbers of police cars on the streets recently? Is there a war coming?]
— [Shut your crow's mouth, but this scale is too big, isn't it? At least dozens of special vehicles combined, my goodness, the matter is definitely not small.]
— [It seems something happened on the Pedestrian Street side. I have a friend at the scene who saw a bomb dug up at the construction site.]
— [That's it? Digging up a bomb can cause such a big commotion? It's too much of a fuss.]
— [You know nothing, it's Lin Yuan! He dug up a 1000-kilogram aerial bomb, damn, that thing looks terrifying.]
— [Holy crap? It's Lin Yuan again? How is everything related to him? Isn't he a real estate agent? Why is he digging for bombs for no reason?]
Amidst the public's discussions, special vehicles arrived near the Pedestrian Street Plaza one after another.
Fire trucks and ambulances stood by, ready for rescue at any time.
The traffic police brigade quickly dispersed, setting up checkpoints on the streets around the Pedestrian Street, prohibiting anyone from passing.
Team Chen and others, under Director Yang's arrangement, immediately began evacuation work, loudly knocking on doors house by house, informing them of the situation, asking them to leave temporarily, and guiding them to a shelter two kilometers away.
As for Director Yang, he rushed to the scene with other members of the Hazardous Materials Disposal Team.
When he followed the stairs and arrived in front of Lin Yuan, his face couldn't help but twitch.
But when he saw the big treasure in the pit, he couldn't help but gasp.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, seeing the actual object at this moment, a look of apprehension appeared on his face.
Immediately after, Director Yang looked at Li Team and asked, “How is it? Have you decided how to handle it?”
Li Team took a deep breath and replied with a solemn expression, “The best way is to move it and detonate it in an uninhabited place!”
Hearing this, Director Yang frowned and quietly asked, “Are you confident?”
“I should… be! I haven't handled one this big, but I imagine it should be similar.”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan, who was standing beside him, suddenly interjected, “No, doing so carries a high risk.”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them froze.
They looked at Lin Yuan with bewildered expressions, and Director Yang exclaimed in disbelief, “Don't tell me you even understand bombs?”
Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and nodded. Originally, he didn't want to say too much, after all, it was already absurd enough that he could operate an excavator, and now he even understood bombs, which was indeed a bit excessive.
But with the system's skill boost, after a brief study just now, he immediately realized that he had caused a big problem today!
Because this bomb cannot be moved!
He thought Li Team could figure it out, so he didn't speak.
Now, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and remind them.
But his slight nod made everyone incredibly shocked!
Even the Photographer exclaimed in surprise, “No way, bro, what exactly did you do before?”
Before Lin Yuan could answer, Li Team quickly asked, “Lin Yuan, you just said it can't be moved, what do you mean? Don't tell me you want to detonate it on site?”
“Yes!” Lin Yuan could only nod with a bitter smile.
Hiss~~~
Upon hearing this, several people widened their eyes, staring at Lin Yuan in horror, their eyes filled with countless questions.
Are you kidding me!!
Detonate on site?
Where is this?
The Pedestrian Street!
Not to mention whether it would hurt people.
Even if all the residents were evacuated, there are buildings everywhere here. If it explodes, it will inevitably cause extensive damage to foundations and houses.
The economic losses incurred would be immeasurable.
Unless absolutely necessary, on-site detonation should never be chosen.
Director Yang quickly asked, “Lin Yuan, it's not that I don't believe you, but you might not be professional about bombs. Let Li Team handle it.”
“If it's detonated on site, the consequences would be too severe, we can't bear it!”
“That's right!” Li Team also frowned and echoed, “It's too big. The seismic waves alone might collapse nearby houses, and even if they don't collapse, their lifespan will be greatly reduced.”
Watching the two of them persuade him one after another, Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, but then his expression changed, suddenly becoming serious, and he said in a deep voice, “You are right, the consequences of on-site detonation are very serious.”
“But have you considered what the consequences would be if it explodes during transfer?!”
“Furthermore, the reason I say this bomb cannot be moved is not just idle talk.”
“Let me ask you, do you know what model this bomb is?”
Hearing this, the two were stunned, and Li Team also fell into contemplation, then shook his head: “How would I know? It's just a lump of iron, all rusty, nothing can be distinguished.”
But Lin Yuan shook his head and denied, “No! Actually, it can be distinguished.”
“Ah?” Li Team was stunned, looking at Lin Yuan with a somewhat disbelieving expression: “You can tell that too?”
“Actually, it's very simple, Li Team, think about it, where did the aerial bomb come from?”
“Uh…” Li Team pondered for a few seconds and replied uncertainly, “It should be left by the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War, right?”
“Exactly! There's no one else.” Lin Yuan nodded affirmatively and continued to explain, “But at that time, to pursue mobility and flexibility, the bomb load of Japanese bombers was generally very low, and only a few bombers could carry high-yield aerial bombs.”
“So their high-yield aerial bombs were very rare, and the only one exceeding 1000 kilograms was the Type 150 No. 5 aerial bomb.”
“According to records, the Type 150 No. 5 aerial bomb has a total length of over 2 meters, a total weight of 1200 kilograms, and a charge of 496.2 kilograms.”
“Not only that, the fuse of this aerial bomb is very complex, including an impact fuse and a motion-sensitive fuse.”
“Although I don't know why it didn't explode when it fell, after so many years of corrosion, the fuse is very likely to have become extremely fragile, especially the motion-sensitive fuse. Once the vibration amplitude is too large, it is very likely to explode.”
“Now the bomb itself is severely deformed. In such a situation, if it is transferred, it is undoubtedly raising the risk to the highest level. It could explode at any time along the way. Can you bear such a great risk?”
“So now there are only two choices: either detonate it on site, or dismantle it, one or the other! But the question is, how high is the danger of dismantling? I don't need to say more, do I?”
