According to an article published on April 20th by the South China Morning Post, Chinese scientists detonated a Hydrogen-based explosive device during a controlled field test. The bomb caused devastating chemical chain reactions despite the fact that it did not use any nuclear materials and contained Magnesium hydride.
The 2kg bomb created a 1000 degrees Celsius fireball that lasted for more than 2 seconds. Notably, its duration exceeded the duration of a TNT bomb explosion 15 times.
Hydrogen gas explosions ignite with minimal ignition energy, have a broad explosion range, and unleash flames that race outward rapidly.
According to the researchers, the Hydrogen bomb is a big step forward in Chinese military capabilities, since it can project heat, as well as cause precision-target destruction.
It is also important that the production of Magnesium Hybrid was limited to laboratories for a long time. However, with the opening of a high-capacity plant in Shaanxi province the capability rose to producing 150 tons annually.
Apart from the Hydrogen bomb, the Chinese cabinet approved of a nuclear plant project in eastern Zhejiang. According to the experts, new Chinese projects are aimed at causing shock and fear in Taiwan, which is also supported by the fact that on April 22nd, 11 Chinese aircraft, six Chinese naval vessels and four official ships were detected near Taiwan. This military equipment crossed the northern, southwestern and eastern Air Defense Identification Zones of Taiwan.
