Can jumping into the water save your life when an atomic bomb explodes? The Japanese experimented

The power of the atomic bomb is terrifying, in addition to the super radiation it brings, the high temperature produced by the atomic bomb is equally terrifying.

Speaking of which, you may not believe that when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, the temperature of the center of the atomic bomb directly reached tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, and the temperature of the shock wave generated by the atomic bomb was also as high as thousands of degrees.

Many people don't have time to react at all, and they "evaporate" in an instant in such a high temperature.

Atomic bomb**.

However, I don't know if you have such doubts.

Atomic bomb**, is there really no chance of survival within the coverage area? How did the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survive the atomic bombs**? Can you save your life by hiding in the water?

Manhattan Project, USA.

Here we have to mention the Manhattan Project in the United States.

The Manhattan Project was an atomic bomb research and development program that the United States had to carry out as a last resort in order to fight fascism.

This plan began to be implemented in June 1942, not only gathered Oppenheimer, Fermi, etc., but also the top nuclear scientists in the West at that time, but also mobilized more than 100,000 scientific researchers, spent 2 billion US dollars, and took three years to succeed in ......

The Manhattan Project brought together some of the best nuclear scientists in the West at the time.

On July 16, 1945, American experimenters transported the first atomic bomb successfully developed in the Manhattan Project to the Alamoqud Desert.

At the moment of this atomic bomb, the iron tower more than 100 feet high near it was melted instantly, and within a radius of 400 meters, all the sand and gravel were melted into yellow-green "glass", and within a radius of 1,600 meters, all animals were spared.

Follow-up experts calculated that its power is about 20,000 tons of TNT equivalent, which is far beyond expectations.

The first atomic bomb** was successful.

With the success of this atomic bomb, the Manhattan Project was also declared a success, and the other two atomic bombs made at the same time as this atomic bomb were quickly transported to the battlefield.

These other two atomic bombs were the two atomic bombs that the US military later dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, "Little Boy" and "Fat Man".

Little Boy".

"Fat Man" The U.S. military dropped atomic bombs on Japan.

In August 1945, in order to accelerate the course of the war and prompt Japan's rapid surrender, the U.S. military decided to use the atomic bomb against Japan.

On 6 August, US pilots flew fighter planes carrying the "Little Boy" atomic bomb over Hiroshima, Japan.

The crew member of the flight responsible for dropping the atomic bomb.

Nearly 200,000 residents of Hiroshima chose to stay in Hiroshima in response to U.S. air strikes, even though there had been several large-scale evacuations in response to U.S. air strikes.

For these Japanese residents who remained in Hiroshima, they simply did not realize the horror of the atomic bomb.

It wasn't until the moment the atomic bomb was dropped, **, that they realized it, but at this moment it was already too late, and it was too ......late to escape

Little boy "** generated a mushroom cloud.

With the "little boy", Hiroshima became the first city in human history to suffer a nuclear attack in the war, and the residents of Hiroshima also became the first people in human history to be harmed by nuclear weapons in the war.

At the moment of the little boy's "**, within a radius of 1 kilometer in the center, almost everything was razed to the ground, even those solid concrete buildings disappeared in an instant.

* The high temperature generated in the core area was once as high as tens of thousands of degrees, and the temperature of the diffused shock wave was also as high as thousands of degrees, and at such a temperature, people were more vulnerable than buildings.

Many people didn't have time to react at all, they just felt that a bright light flashed in front of them, and the person had already "evaporated", and they didn't even have a chance to ...... to wail in pain

Hiroshima was in ruins after the atomic bombing.

Survivor of the miracle.

It stands to reason that the destructive power of the "little boy" is so powerful, and the people who are near the center of the **, we can't think of any way to avoid such a catastrophe.

But the reality is that within 1 kilometer of the "little boy" ** point, there are really people who miraculously survived.

The name of the survivor is Nobuko Takazo.

Nobuko Takazo. According to Nobuko Takazo's recollection, she was about to go to the local bank to do business when she entered the door when she heard the roar of bombers coming from the sky.

At that time, all the residents of Hiroshima were ready for air defense, for fear that the US military would bomb the Japanese mainland.

Nobuko Takazo was also prepared, and the moment she heard the sound of the bomber, she squatted down and hid in a corner behind the bank counter according to the knowledge of air defense that she usually saw in the newspapers.

Sure enough, a few minutes after Takazo Nobuko squatted down, ** came.

The ** point of "Little Boy" is only 300 meters away from the bank where Takazo Nobuko is located.

The red dot is the center of **, and the blue dot is the bank location where Nobuko Takazo is located.

At the moment of the event, almost everyone in the entire area was instantly "evaporated" by the high temperature generated by the **, and the entire city became a dead city in an instant.

Takazo Nobuko hid behind the bank counter and was afraid of gathering, she closed her eyes and covered her ears, and only waited until the ** was over and everything was silent before she dared to open her eyes again.

At that time, she even thought that she was dead, she couldn't believe what she saw in front of her, and the lively city was turned into a ruin in an instant.

The blue arrow refers to the bank where Nobuko Takazo works.

*When it was over, the black area on the steps near the bank was the mark left by the person after "evaporation".

And as for why she survived, she herself does not know.

It wasn't until later that an expert explained that the reinforced concrete structure of the bank was extremely strong when it happened, and the energy from the bank was all absorbed, which allowed Takazo Nobuko, who was hiding behind the bank counter, to survive ......

Nobuko Takazo in old age.

In addition to Nobuko Takazo, there is also a young girl who is a survivor of the "fat man" after Nagasaki**.

* The moment it came, the girl jumped into the water with all her might, and it was with this leap that she was able to save her life.

Today, in the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb** Memorial Park, there is a stone monument engraved on it, which is derived from the memories of this young girl.

The content translates to the effect that it goes something like this:

"My throat was almost dry, and I desperately wanted to drink water, but there was a layer of black oil floating on the surface of the water, and I had to drink it with ...... black oil”

The experience of Nobuko Takazo and Mitsuo Futama can be regarded as an "experiment" that personally proves that people have a chance to survive the atomic bomb**.

The prerequisite for surviving is to find a solid bunker that can resist the ** energy, or hide in the water.

But then again, having said that, the reality is that many times we can't choose, and we may not have time to hide at all, and we have already "evaporated" in the ** of the atomic bomb.
