Part I. Israel bombs the
Natanz nuclear plant in Iran
Chapter 35 “Star of David” faded out in the space (3)
"Abdallah"
suddenly touched the liquid crystal screen of the missile launcher. He inputted
the coordinate axis of the target in the bunker buster. Then he pressed the
fire button without hesitation. The Bunker Buster spewed out red flames and
flew higher.
After
a few seconds, the missile turned 180 degrees and began to return to Earth. It seemed
to have the firm will and headed towards the target.
"Abdallah"
awaited the Bunker Buster to come straight to his fighter. The fire of the
bunker buster shines among innumerable stars in the universe. It was
approaching closer and closer.
Just
before the two objects collided, "Abdallah" pushed the emergency
escape button. That was his last job.
His
body was inflated in a moment when he was thrown into a vacuum space from the
airtight cockpit. His helmet, flight suit, gloves, and shoes tightly gripped
his inflated body. Therefore, the inner power was concentrated around his bare neck.
His neck expanded to the same size as his head like an athlete. The chain of
the necklace was torn off and the locket containing the photos of his sister
and niece was thrown out into the space of ultra-low temperature and zero
gravity.
The
bunker buster accurately captured the target. The target was broken in pieces.
The body of "Star of David" fluttered in the space. But the
"Star of David" did not fall down. In the next moment, everything was
covered by an intense flash. Blast and ultra-high heat burned everything in the
area. A small nuclear bomb was detonated by the bunker buster.
Abdullah's body was instantly evaporated due to the ultra-high heat. The windshield, instrument panel, metal plates, the fuselage and wings were entirely melted away. Engine made of heavy block metal was melted its surface only and fell down toward the ground.
Abdullah's
locket floated in the space. Heat wave was about to melt the locket, but the
blast blew the locket faster than heat wave. The small, disk-shaped locket got
a new power to propel by the impact of the explosion. The inside of the locket
was harmless, though the lid was opened by the blast. The energy of the nuclear
explosion gave the locket enough speed to get out of the gravitational field.
Thus, the locket took off into the space leaving the earth behind.
It
flew to a right direction. Inside the locket, there was a hibernated life due
to the vacuum and ultra-low temperature of outer space. The life had just started
a long journey to its home.
