After all, human lives were more important than robots. Hence they made use of robots whenever possible.
The loss of a robot was a small matter, but if a person died, it would be impossible to account for it.
The structure of a bombs is indeed simple, but sometimes, the simpler something is, the harder it is to resolve!
This sort of thing can be lethal hence it was all the more important that it didn’t fall into the wrong hands.
Mu Yichen said in a quiet voice, “Mommy, this is a time bomb. In other words, the device is designed so that it can explode.”
Some bombs are made to explode on demand. When the fuse is removed, it would immediately explode.
The design of a time bomb, on the other hand, is such that it prevent detonation!
This meant that there was a chance of survival. Even if it was extremely slim, there was still a chance!
Only four minutes remained.
Mu Yichen swallowed hard and carefully removed the shell of the time bomb. He was considerably quick in dismantling it, but even then it took him a good 20 seconds. After he did so, the inner wiring of the bomb was exposed.
There are various types of time bombs.
According to his understanding, there were detonators, electric detonators and black gunpowder.
Typically, a detonator bomb can be defused directly. Without a detonator, the bomb will be useless. It will not explode no matter what.
Black gunpowder is child’s play.
Other than that, TNT is for military use and is more common. A guy like Dietris would never be able to get something like that.
If it’s nitroglycerin, then it will be extremely volatile and explosive. The slightest vibration could cause it to explode. In other words, even a simple action like standing up will trigger an explosion.
The other explosives like HMX, RDX, PENT, and C-4 are all extremely high-end bombs. They are rarely seen on the market. Even many terrorists organizations do not have the means to obtain them. Generally, they are used in extreme situations, and their structures are extremely complicated. If one were to encounter these, it would be very difficult to dispose of them.
However, after analyzing it, Mu Yichen came to the conclusion that this was an electric detonation device. Generally, such bombs needed a line. Of course, it was definitely not like those commonly seen on television, where the person had to choose between a red line and a blue line. Instead, he needed to cut the explosive device off from the live battery and electrical circuit. Most of the current was direct current. This way, once the power source was destroyed, the bomb would lose its effect.
Without electricity, there wouldn’t be an explosion.
However, even though it sounded simple, the circuitry of such a device was complicated. It was very difficult to differentiate and identify the mass of wires in the device.
Mu Yichen counted and found that there were about ten lines. These lines were dense and orderly, but they were of the same color.
If the wrong wire was cut, it would blow up. Even if he were to cut the right lines, there was a certain chance of triggering the capacitor reverse detonation. It was impossible to guard against this.
The situation became a little tricky.
As Mu Yichen fiddled with the wires, cold sweat trickled down his forehead and cheeks.
Looking at his nervous expression, Yun Shishi realized that this bomb was very tricky. If he made an error, she would die.
The tip of her nose felt a little sore as she looked at Mu Yichen. Feeling sorry for him, she said, “Little Yichen, don’t bother about me, okay? I don’t know when this bomb will explode. It’s not a toy! Do you know how dangerous it is?”
