The wind was stagnant, and the breeze had long since disappeared. President Zaitsev stood in a protected bunker about 15 miles away from the test site with his black glasses on. The bomb was to be dropped from a large tower and to be detonated in mid-air. The bomb was roughly 20 kilotons in force and was relatively lightweight. Zaitsev and his generals watched with bated breath as the scientists signalled the weapon to begin it's fall. Immediately the machines wirred to life and began measuring.
There was a moment of pure silence, followed by a tremendous roar and a shockwave. The bunker shook only slightly before returning to normal. Zaitsev kept his eyes trained on the explosion and watched in awe as the mushroom cloud rose into the heavens. He tunred to the assembled men and spoke.
"We did it!"
There was a flurry of cheering and clapping which slowly subsided as they turned to watch the cloud disperse.
