Bab 107: Nucelar Test Successfull

Dr. Homi Bhabha stood at the center of the command bunker, surrounded by the finest scientific minds India had gathered.

They were about to make history, but what was to come hung in the air like a storm cloud ready to break.

"All systems are prepared," Dr. Raja Ramanna said quietly, his voice betraying only a fraction of the excitement bubbling beneath the surface.

His hands hovered over the control panel, which, in a few minutes, would initiate the final sequence.

Dr. Bhabha nodded. "We've waited for this moment. Let's proceed with caution, but no hesitation."

Around the bunker, the other scientists and military personnel exchanged glances, India's first nuclear device was sealed deep underground, far below the desert sands of Pokhran.

It was an implosion-type plutonium bomb, designed carefully over years of work. They had run the tests, checked the circuits, and rechecked them again.

The time had come to finally see it through.
