Inside the mine!
When Shen Ting saw the countdown above the bomb stop, he didn't relax immediately; instead, he became even more vigilant.
The countdown stopping may mean that the detonation circuit has been cut off.
It could just be a display malfunction, or the bomb may have entered some kind of strange "dormant" state.
He approached slowly, his movements as light as a feline.
A bright light shone down from the helmet, and he picked up the thin, low-light probe again, carefully inserting it into the operating window on the sandwich shell.
The endoscope screen quickly displayed the internal scene after the explosion.
Most of the tangled colored wires and those trick switches from before are still there.
It was just covered with a thin layer of ash.
Shen Ting's gaze focused directly on a deeper level, on the crucial spot where he had chosen to place the cutting rope.
There, the metal interlocking structure that should have connected the detonating charge and the main charge now showed a clear and neat break!
The metal near the fracture surface exhibits a state of molten metal that has then re-solidified.
Fragments of the metal casing from the cutting rope were scattered around.
That break completely severed the physical connection between the explosive charge and the main charge behind it!
Obviously!
The V-shaped focused jet of the cutting cable precisely completed the "cutting" operation.
Chen Ting moved the probe and carefully examined both sides of the fracture.
One side of the explosive charge was intact, with no signs of leakage or abnormal heating.
The main charge side remained calm as well.
The thick inert outer shell protects the high-energy explosives inside from the direct impact of the detonation jet.
He then quickly checked other possible detonation paths, including those complex wiring and switches.
The miniature non-contact voltage tester quickly scanned several key points.
Although the wiring was messy, there were no obvious signs of short circuits or abnormal power supply.
Those trick switches remained silently in place, showing no signs of being triggered.
This means that the bomb's core and most powerful "warhead"—
Main charge!
Although it still exists, it has lost the conditions to be detonated.
The detonation path has been completely cut off.
It is now just a large, dangerous, but relatively "quiet" chemical substance.
It's done!
It exploded! It was a success.
Only at this moment did Shen Ting's nerves, which had been taut like steel wires, finally relax slightly.
"Sister Xu!"
He pressed the internal communication button, his calm voice tinged with a hint of excitement:
"Explosion effect confirmed."
The cutting cable accurately hit the target, cutting off the detonation path.
The main charge has been confirmed to be safe.
The bomb has been confirmed to be deactivated.
Repeat, the bomb has been confirmed to be ineffective.
You may come in now.
Almost simultaneously, Shen Ting heard Xu Xin's excited voice coming from the other end of the communication:
"Very good!
We're coming right away!
Shen Ting ended the call without waiting.
He immediately took out several specially made magnetic signal jammers from his tool bag and skillfully attached them to several key locations on the bomb casing, completely blocking any possible remote control signals.
Although the explosion path has theoretically been cut off, caution is never wrong.
Then, he began the initial stabilization treatment of the failed main charge—
Spray with a special inhibitor foam to further reduce its sensitivity.
And to prepare for subsequent professional transfer.
Shen Ting's movements were quick, precise, and methodical.
Compared to the tense bomb disposal, the subsequent handling was significantly easier.
Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the mine tunnel.
Xu Xinyi, Zhao Gang, and Chen Hao were the first to rush in.
The three of them couldn't hide their excitement when they saw Shen Ting standing perfectly still and the bomb that had come to a standstill.
"Team Leader Shen!"
Chen Hao's voice trembled:
"It's done! It's a real success!"
"Yeah! Let's explode!"
I've only seen it in textbooks and internal case studies.
Team Leader Shen, you actually managed to do it right here!
Zhao Gang was so excited that he became incoherent.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Shen Ting was marked by obvious shock.
Xu Xin stood a little behind, looking at Shen Ting with a mixture of relief and lingering fear.
Although she had dealt with many difficult situations with Shen Ting, defusing a bomb was a completely different matter.
The danger and the problems we've dealt with before are incomparable.
But Shen Ting succeeded with ease, just like before.
"Shen Ting, I have already contacted Captain Zheng."
They'll bring their men in immediately. What do they need us to do now?
Xu Xin steadied herself and asked.
Shen Ting didn't even look up, his hands continuing their work:
"Tell Captain Zheng to bring in more people."
In addition, prepare excavation tools: a small rock drill, an entrenching tool, and lighting equipment—the more the better.
"Dig?"
Xu Xinyi immediately understood:
"You mean you want to dig through the collapsed mine tunnel behind it?"
Searching for the missing person?
"certainly!"
After spraying the last bit of inhibitor, Shen Ting straightened up and looked at the mine tunnel behind the bomb, which was blocked by rubble and rotten wood:
"The bombing was successful, but we have even less time left."
He looked at Xu Xinyi:
"I deliberately chose the explosion point near the signal repeater when it was just detonated."
Strong electromagnetic pulses and physical impacts have a high probability of damaging live broadcast lines.
They created the illusion that a bomb had been detonated, causing a signal disruption.
