ARCHIVED: Xentherida's Nuclear Test

There was a slight delay, due to the fact a piece of wiring in the bomb was faulty, only discovered recently. While it was a somewhat unimportant wire, should it have failed, it could have caused the bomb to fail to detonate. However, that has now been fixed, and the bomb is officially now on the HMS Impression. All scientists are now permitted to examine the bomb.

In the mean time, we too agree with a file-sharing network between nations, and we have already made a prototype. The server is currently being installed, and is wireless. Under the name of "XNT" it is encrypted with our Class 6 V18-21 encryption, which, should any unauthorized personnel attempt to decode, changes itself repeatedly. However, for this particular server, each of the scientists and their computers have authorization, although this is only until after all data has been exchanged between nations.

OOC: At this time, I would recommend you RP'ing your scientists' time aboard the ship; examining the bomb, looking out to Death Atoll, talking with other scientists. That kind of thing.
 
Xentherida:
Sytarenne:
Sytarenne sanctions Xentherida for making Nuclear Weapons and testing it out of nowhere <_<
Sytarenne has a better Defense Force, Manufacturing Sector, and even Lower Arms Manufacturing Sector then Xentherida, and a almost-same amount of Intelligence, so we believe Xentherida will have bad results for Nuclear Weapons, and if they succeed it would mean Sytarenne could make their own Nuclear Weapons, that could possibly be better.

In response to the Sytarenne sanctions, we argue that this is not a basis for a sanction, merely the fact that you can produce better weapons. Multiple simulations have been run, and so far the recent majority of tests have proved successful. Also, we protest; why should we be sanctioned for a nuclear test, when other nations have also tested and been overseen? In conclusion, we request you withdraw your sanctions.

Sytarenne, I don't use my NS stats, they're barely anything like my nation actually is, and usually not canon for others. My nation has a strong defence, small manufacturing sector (11% of GDP) and moderate arms manufacturing, along with a populace with a higher-than-average intelligence, due to the large amount of funding to education (W$157 billion (USD$301 billion) per year (14% of budget)).
The Syrixian scientists are now permitted to board the HMS Impression and examine the bomb, and either view the detonation from their ship or ours; their choice to make. In the mean time, the ship will simply need to radio the HMS Impression to remind them that you are permitted to come near the area; unauthorized ships (e.g. fishing ships) are refused to enter the area unless they are authorized, which the Syrixian ship is.

In the mean time, the Kaltian ships have the correct authorization, as it was previously misread. They too need to radio the HMS Impression to inform them of their authorization.

In terms of the rover landing, so far no data has shown any signs of life, although barely one quarter of the 20 square kilometer atoll has been examined. However, we have doubts that there will be life, although the Guslantis-built rover may find something that Xentheridan probes have overlooked.


Finally, we would like to announce that Ceretian scientists and engineers have been accepted to examine the test, should they find any anomalies in it. They are to examine the test area, the four sub-critical parts of the californium core (which will eventually be pushed together to create a supercritical mass), and the wirings of the bomb itself; should they find anything at fault, we shall correct it, including anomalies with the testing area.

OOC: We sanctioned you because our nation is supposed to want peace throughout our nation, and having a powerful military, and caring for the environment. We don't choose to make more powerful weapons because it get's you nowhere, and if most TNP Nations have it then the Great War Saga could turn into a Nuclear war. Anyway I guess I'm not going to use NS stats anymore because my Economy, Environment, Scientific Advancement, and Defense Forces are supposed to be high. I seriously don't know why Arms Manufacturing are high on my Nation with Stupidity probably one of the best in all of "Eve"

Oh and we sanction you mostly in military-related and environmental related-things unless they aren't dangerous

Everything was ready. After hours of examination by the scientists, it was prepared for detonation. The nuclear weapon, weighing 85,000 kilograms, was below the surface, in its preassigned position, two and a half kilometres below the rocky basalt that made up the surface of Death Atoll. No wiring was faulty; everything had been checked multiple times for faults, and all of such tests had come up negative.

Adam Reitano was standing on the bridge of the HMS Impression, surrounded by other scientists, engineers, and a few guards. A large red button marked "Detonation" was in the middle of the control board. Once this was pressed, ten seconds would pass before the bomb detonated, to allow anyone to get into a safe position.

The all clear had been given. Everyone was behind a protection shield, a clear piece of toughened glass to prevent any debris from the implosion injuring anyone. It was time.

"3...."

"2...."

"1..."

"Fire."


Adam pressed the button, triggering a radio signal.

Beneath them, the receiver below, inside the bomb, caught the signal. Giving off an electrical charge, this set off the four pieces of propellant, pushing the four 1.25kg pieces of Californium-251 together. They were no longer four pieces of subcritical californium; they had bonded together to produce one 5kg supercritical mass of californium. One millionth of a second later, the particles split in the fission style, releasing huge amounts of energy by alpha particles. This created a fireball half a kilometre wide, having been hindered by rock, although any minerals that performed the heroic deed were unfortunately vaporized. Any more rock within another seven hundred meters fused together, with some instances even hardening to become obsidian. An enormous cavern was created, with a radius of an entire kilometre, as enormous chunks of solidified magma fell from the ceiling. Suddenly though, the roof of the cavern became unstable, too weak to support the sheer mass of earth above it.

Back onboard the ship, everyone was looking towards the tallest hill on the atoll apprehensively. Although a paltry nine meters tall, it stood out from the rest of the atoll by its abrupt climb; indeed, some parts of the hill ascended almost vertically. However, exactly below this spot, the detonation had taken place.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling could be heard, and cracks spiderwebbed across the south-east of the atoll. Then, a huge chunk of earth fell into the crevasse, , opening a huge hole that was then filled with yet more rock. Debris was kicked up; loose particles of dirt were thrown airborne by the earth below falling. Small chunks of mud and stone flew overhead, although none even close to large enough to cause injury, nor did they fly even far enough to hit anyone.

A helicopter overhead caught a grainy image of the rock fall in action.

After the smoke lifted and the debris fell, checks were to be conducted for any signs of residual radiation. When all signs of radiation are minimal, the scientists will be allowed to examine the atoll and, once a safe way of transportation is constructed, the pit itself.
