Chapter 244 The Glory of Nuclear Fusion
Humanity's new type of stellar hydrogen bomb, with a yield of 200 billion TNT, detonated in the ordinary atmosphere, would have a fireball (high-temperature core) with a diameter of approximately 30 kilometers and a temperature reaching hundreds of millions of Kelvin. The plasmasphere would have a diameter of 80 kilometers, and the shockwave would have a frontal radius of approximately 300 kilometers. A single bomb could essentially destroy any existing large-scale urban cluster, including underground cities. In the natural environment, a single bomb could destroy all individual mountains—Mount Everest, Mount Fuji, and Mount Tai would all be annihilated.

However, if that were all, a stellar hydrogen bomb would not be able to cause devastating damage to the Devouring Empire. Therefore, the hydrogen bomb that attacked the Devouring Giant Ring had another advantage.

That's the relative flight speed of a stellar hydrogen bomb, which is as high as 0.13c.

13％的光速可以给这些氢弹带来极其恐怖的动能，恒星型氢弹的重量大概在10吨左右。十吨重量在0.13c速度下，将带来的相对动能达到了恐怖的7.1×10焦耳。

It should be noted that the direct energy of a stellar hydrogen bomb explosion is only 8.3 × 10 joules, which is exactly the same order of magnitude as the explosion of a stellar hydrogen bomb at a velocity of 0.13c. This doubles the power of the stellar hydrogen bomb explosion.

That is, 1.55 × 10 joules.

This power has exceeded the annihilation yield of the ordinary antimatter bullets that Shanqing had previously suffered.

All the dragons, including Tyrannosaurus Karl, saw the nuclear mushroom. A burst of light, more intense than a star, exploded out. Due to its high speed, the nuclear fireball was not a traditional sphere, but rather a cone-shaped object with a cross-sectional width of 50 kilometers.

A cone-shaped fireball erupted on the side ring of Zone 1.

The metallic surface instantly vaporized, and the dinosaur alloy material at the epicenter decomposed directly into basic particles at hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius. The shockwave spread in a ring, and wherever it passed, the steel landscape churned and shattered like ocean waves, with hundreds of thousands of tons of metal fragments being ejected into the side ring orbit.

This is just the beginning.

Then the second, third, fourth...

The giant ring trembled violently, and a massive earthquake began to form. One hundred stellar hydrogen bombs broke through the interception and exploded on the inner ring side and even on the inner ring surface. One area was hit by four or five stellar hydrogen bombs in succession.

The continuous explosions even briefly offset the thrust of the giant ring planetary engine, causing a slight change in the giant ring's flight attitude, and even causing the giant ring's rotation to stop.

The change in centrifugal force and the 'twisting' of gravity caused the dinosaurs to become unsteady on their feet. All the dinosaurs on the Anvil Plain could see the entire sky turned bright white by the intense light of the nuclear explosion.

The vanguard fleet's 12 star-class warships dived in twelve directions, eventually converging at the center of the giant ring before dispersing. As a result, the number of star-class hydrogen bombs that hit the inner ring's 12 zones was the same. Interestingly, because Shan Qing destroyed the protective netting of zones one through four, the first four zones suffered the most star-class hydrogen bombs, averaging almost eight or nine. In contrast, the other zones, due to their improved protective systems, successfully used lasers to intercept some hydrogen bombs before they entered the inner ring, and only suffered an average of four or five bombs.

If a stellar hydrogen bomb explodes on an open field, it's fine, but if it hits a dinosaur city... even if a dinosaur city is as big as Hainan Island, it will still suffer a devastating blow. In the early stages, Shanqing's battles were mainly focused on killing the dinosaur noble army, and he did not focus on destroying the dinosaur cities. Apart from the capital of the Giant Ring, most of the imperial noble cities were in relatively good condition.

As the connecting structure between Zones Four and Five, the Anvil Plains were fortunate enough to escape the strikes of the stellar-type hydrogen bombs. Also due to the launch intervals, these stellar-type nuclear bombs did not detonate simultaneously, but rather exploded sequentially in different regions of the giant ring at fixed intervals of seconds. Now, the explosions propagate from the outer ring to the side rings, and then to the inner ring, ensuring that the waves of destruction do not cancel each other out, but rather accumulate layer by layer, subjecting the entire giant ring structure to continuous oscillations.

Unfortunately, the advance fleet was ultimately too small. Even though the power of the stellar hydrogen bomb was great enough, Shan Qing still underestimated the structural strength of the giant ring.

The giant ring has an inner and outer width of up to 10,000 kilometers, while the nuclear fireball of a stellar hydrogen bomb can only reach a maximum of 30 kilometers in the atmosphere. If it were in the solid Earth's surface, this distance would decrease to 10 kilometers.

Even with an initial velocity of 0.13c, it wouldn't be enough; its nuclear explosion could only create a terrifying crater of 10,000 meters. For the giant ring, this sparse super nuclear explosion would at most destroy the outermost layer of sugar dust on the donut.

To damage the core of this donut, a few hundred stellar nuclear bombs would be far from enough, especially since these hundreds of stellar nuclear bombs were detonated separately.

Looking at the constantly flashing nuclear fireballs, Shanqing secretly estimated that the area he was in was called the Anvil Gathering Area or Anvil Plain by the dinosaurs. It was about the size of an Asia, the connection point between the dinosaur zones 4 and 5, and the structural connection point of the giant ring, with extremely high strength.

This connection point, the size of Asia, is solid metal, and stretches 1 kilometers from the inner ring to the outer ring, roughly the diameter of the Earth.

For a connection point of this scale, let alone oneself, even the main body would have to put in a lot of effort.

And this is just one of the connection points of the giant ring.

To destroy this giant ring with a stellar hydrogen bomb, a supersonic crater at least 5000 kilometers deep would need to be excavated in Anvil Plains—a depth exceeding the diameter of Mercury. Then, within this supersonic crater, at least 1 stellar hydrogen bombs would need to be deployed and detonated simultaneously to create nuclear resonance waves, only then could Anvil Plains be completely blasted open, creating a breach in the giant ring.

In fact, when Shan Qing was fighting in the inner ring, he often forgot that he was standing on a spaceship instead of a planet. There was no way around it, this thing was just too big, so big that Shan Qing always mistook the giant ring for the dinosaur's mother planet.

If the giant ring had a health bar, then within that 999 health bar, all the stellar-type nuclear missiles released by humanity's 12 stellar-class warships would barely be enough to scrape off that first thin layer of health.

After the final stellar-type hydrogen bomb that directly attacked the giant ring fell, numerous nuclear craters appeared throughout the ring.

Outside the giant ring, at least 43 giant ring engines located at the equator of the giant ring were directly destroyed by a stellar hydrogen bomb. These giant ring engines were about the same size as human planetary engines, with a diameter of about 100 kilometers and a height of 10 kilometers, forming a man-made single mountain peak of 10,000 meters.

However, compared to the total of 30,000 giant ring engines along the equator, the destruction of these 43 engines is negligible and cannot even effectively weaken the giant ring's space maneuverability.
