Chapter 552 The Disappearing Hill Saves Us Trouble!

Jiangjia Village.

A small hill next to the unfinished dam.

After receiving the signal that the evacuation was complete, Lao Wang nodded to Jiang Xia.

"Alright! Ready to bomb!"

With everything prepared, Jiang Xia was still wondering whether he should count down.

Just as he finished counting to ten, Teacher Zhemin impatiently pressed the detonator switch.

"Why bother with all that! Just get it over with!"

Jiang Xia nodded in acknowledgment, but continued counting down.

The power switch was turned on, and a few sparks flashed in the cave on the opposite hill. Apart from a wisp of white smoke visible to the naked eye drifting out of the cave, there was not much movement.

Old Wang flashed forward and blocked Jiang Xia's path again, holding up a bulletproof vest in his hand.

After Jiang Xia's initial introduction, everyone calmed down. They simply listened to Jiang Xia continue counting down.

"three"

"two"

"One"

The countdown is over.

The hill opposite immediately changed.

"Dang..."

Everyone felt the mountain ridge beneath their feet tremble slightly, and then the opposite mountain, like a lantern, emitted white light from within.

Then, the white light grew brighter and brighter, rushing out of the cave entrance one after another.

"Wow...why is it so bright?"

"We added some aluminum powder to test whether the blank and the base material can undergo plastic deformation together under pulse wave and adhere to the mold at a certain speed to complete the overall molding!" Teacher Zhemin next to Jiang Xia showed eight teeth again.

"One experiment, two processes—I'm really good at saving time..."

"Ha, you're trying to cut corners on this? You've almost burned all the aluminum powder, otherwise you wouldn't have this metallic color?"

"Oops! I forgot that it's an irregularly shaped cave, the airflow won't just obediently press down from the top..."

Just as Teacher Zhemin was about to say something, the rumble of the earth interrupted his voice.

The whole world seemed to have been ripped open with a scorching rift. First, a blinding white light, like the sun falling, instantly engulfed the cave and the entire mountain.

But strangely, the explosion in front of us didn't have the booming sound of a traditional explosion; instead, it was like a hurricane's shriek. The entire mountain seemed to come alive, trembling and twisting violently.

The soil and rocks on the mountaintop cascaded down like a waterfall. From the location of the cave, huge cracks began to appear on the mountainside, constantly widening and extending. The entire mountain, like a drumhead struck by a giant god, first expanded and bulged strangely, and then disintegrated in the shockwaves...

Then came the muffled thud of hundreds of tons of rubble falling to the ground.

"boom……"

The shockwave hit, but thankfully everyone managed to lie flat on the ground.

Old Wang then dragged Jiang Xia down the mountainside.

After Jiang Xia spat out a mouthful of mud, he saw a grayish-yellow cloud of smoke rising from the opposite mountain. Accompanied by the crackling sound of trees falling, the smoke gradually formed an inverted mushroom-shaped vortex...

"Damn it, this is more than three times the yield..."

……

Wang Tiezhu, who had stopped the car, was curiously looking at it. "Comrade, what are you showing me?"

A white light suddenly appeared.

The cigarette Wang Tiezhu was holding fell onto his clothes with a thud, but he didn't dare to make any other movements. He just stared blankly at the place where the white light was rising.

"Too...sunny?"

Seemingly wanting to get a closer look, Wang Tiezhu jumped off the Yellow River checkpoint, muttering something as he walked.

Well, he probably doesn't even know what he said.

Company Commander Tang was also stunned. He got out of the vehicle and, watching the yellowish-brown mushroom cloud appear in the sky after the white light disappeared, muttered to himself, "No wonder, no wonder she's the young lady's dowry maid. She deserves it, she deserves it..."

"If only we had one back then..."

Before Company Commander Tang could reminisce about the past, the ground beneath the Yellow River truck tires began to churn, wave after wave.

"The earth dragon turns over?"

Wang Tiezhu was terrified and pushed Company Commander Tang towards the vehicle.

"Hey, don't worry, this was made by that guy you admire! Don't worry, we won't use this thing on ourselves!"

After getting into the vehicle, Company Commander Tang squinted and continued to greedily gaze at the spot where the mushroom had risen: "What a pity, I only saw half of it. Hey, this is only the first one. According to regulations, there should be more experiments, right? I'll submit an application later; I absolutely must see the whole process..."

Huh? What's that floating down from the ground? It's all grayish...

clap clap clap...

Small pebbles tapped against the car window.

"No! Run!"

"Hey, didn't you say you weren't in a hurry..."

As soon as Wang Tiezhu finished speaking, a cloud of sand and gravel completely enveloped the Yellow River checkpoint.

However, given the enormous size of the Super Yellow River truck, this edge shockwave will not cause it much damage; at most, it will only scratch off a layer of paint.

Of course, if the two people weren't in the car, then it's a different story.

"Grandma Jiang is right! If we don't evacuate now, it could really be dangerous!"

……

The explosion is complete.

Jiang Xia spat out two mouthfuls of sand, took out the tank helmet that Zheng, the driver from the railway company, had given him, and helped Old Wang put it on.

Hey, don't let Lao Wang's recent tendency to become more like a husky fool you; when it comes to something, he's really something.

Right now, he was bending down to act as a human shield for the little ahoge, blocking the falling pebbles.

For the sake of his mental health, Jiang Xia decided to treat him better.

"Teacher Zhemin? Brother Zeshan! Are you alright?"

"fine……"

The young man from Zeshan peeked out from not far from Jiang Xia, picked up the scattered branches on the ground with his head on his head, and helped Teacher Zhemin support himself.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!" After spitting out a few more mouthfuls of sand, the group waited for the rain of gravel to stop, then helped each other climb back up to the top of the mountain.

"Damn, the Tunguska event..."

Looking at the scene on the mountaintop, the group was speechless.

"You little brat, what the hell have you done?!"

On the other side of the ridge, all the plants had fallen down in a radial pattern, and many tree trunks were embedded with pebbles the size of fingernails.

Looking at the epicenter of the explosion, the entire mountain had vanished without a trace, leaving only a slightly sunken crater on the ground.

The rising sun shone on the remaining rocks, emitting a dazzling array of colors.

"The mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide is really that powerful! No, I need to investigate this in person..."

The young man from Zeshan made a few remarks and then slid down the mountain.

Teacher Zhemin then let out a lament: "My components! Can they even be found now?!"

"Hehehe... Now, we don't need to dig anymore, we can just build a dam..."

Jiang Xia looked at the dented area and nodded in satisfaction. Although the power was a bit unexpected, the result was perfect!

"Bah..."

From the depression, a stream of water gushed out, splashing onto the scalding rocks and creating a cloud of white mist.

"(⊙o⊙)...Okay, now we don't even need an aqueduct...and I can take a hot shower, that's great!"
