Bombing is risky; there's no need for everyone to stay and take the risk.
Soon, deep inside the mine, only Shen Ting remained.
He stood alone in front of the bomb whose countdown was ticking, holding the decisive detonator in his hand.
He stayed!
Was Team Leader Shen left behind alone?
"My God...does this really have to be operated by one person?"
"I can't look... my palms are sweaty..."
"We must succeed!"
...
Inside the speeding police car, Lu Guotao stared intently at the live stream on the tablet screen.
His heart pounded when he saw Shen Ting actually insert the cutting cord into the bomb.
"Team Leader Shen..."
They actually chose to detonate it!
His voice was filled with disbelief:
"That's too risky..."
Although he already had a slight understanding of Shen Ting's way of doing things, Lu Guotao was still taken aback.
As a true bomb disposal expert, he understands the meaning of "explosion" better than any other netizen.
That's not just high risk, it's a test of the bomb disposal expert's skills, mentality, and judgment to the limit.
It means placing yourself and the target bomb together on the edge of the most dangerous cliff.
"Teacher, will this... will this work?"
The students nearby were equally shocked.
He never expected to witness such a rare bomb disposal technique as bomb detonation during this trip.
Lu Guotao was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "It's hard to say!"
I have never used blasting before.
The students looked at him in surprise.
Only twice.
Lu Guotao recalled, his eyes filled with complex emotions:
"The last time we used bombing was in the northwestern wilderness, where we found an old aerial bomb left over from the war."
It was severely corroded, its structure was unclear, and the fuse countdown was accidentally started due to a herdsman's accidental activation.
When we arrived at the scene, there were less than five minutes left before the explosion.
Conventional exploration simply wouldn't be enough time.
Therefore, I chose the method of bombardment.
"And the result..."
"It can be considered a success."
Lu Guotao exhaled a breath of stale air, "But the situation back then was completely different from now."
First, the target area was in an absolutely open, uninhabited area, so even if it failed, the consequences would be relatively controllable.
Second, although the target structure is unclear, it belongs to an old-style mechanical fuse, and its detonation path is relatively simple and easy to identify.
third……"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I was wearing a heavy bomb disposal suit and operating it from behind a bunker about 100 meters away."
He looked at Shen Ting, who was standing alone beside the bomb on the screen, and frowned.
"Now, bombs are extremely complex in structure and are meticulously designed modern bombs."
The detonation path may involve multiple tricks.
Most importantly, the site is inside a mine shaft, a relatively enclosed space.
If it fails, the shockwave and shrapnel from the explosion will tear everything around it to shreds.
Moreover, in order to ensure the precise placement of the cutting cable, Chen Ting must operate at close range.
"What if the final explosion fails..."
Lu Guotao didn't finish his sentence, but the students already understood.
The mine environment amplifies the power of an explosion, and Chen Ting's evacuation distance was by no means safe.
This is practically a combination of all the unfavorable conditions.
"Team Leader Shen is really bold!"
The student murmured, his expression a mixture of admiration and worry, it was hard to tell.
Lu Guotao nodded.
He couldn't see the detonation point chosen by Shen Ting, nor could he see the internal structure of the bomb.
Therefore, I am particularly worried about Shen Ting's choice.
At that moment, he saw Shen Ting connect the detonator.
Lu Guotao's heart jumped into his throat:
"He's about to start the explosion..."
