From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 99 Plasma First Choice

Main universe time: April 1996, 11.

Five hours after the shelter announced an evacuation.

A hazy midday with no direct sunlight.

At this moment, if you look down at Sana City from a high altitude, you can see that 80% of this former desert city has been completely razed to the ground, while the rest has become ruins.

In this 80% area, there are also large areas of crystallized or vitrified soil. It is obvious that tactical weapons detonated from the air created the current scene.

The nuclear-proof shelter 60 meters above the surface was not affected by the "fireball evacuation" effect produced by the explosion, so everyone including the privates and short-haired soldiers survived.

At this time, the people who were originally hiding in the shelter moved to the desert on the western outskirts of Sana City.

However, the soldiers who maintain order and deliver drinking water and food are ARS and AECS affiliated with Atlas.

The soldiers who previously used 20mm non-lethal rubber shotguns and wore "red-eye" breathing masks were clones without any self-awareness and thinking logic.

In fact, when the shelter was about to be breached, Ernieo 004, which was in low-Earth orbit, launched a 30-ton TNT-equivalent plasma bomb over the condensed matter (the army of the underworld) pouring into Sana's urban area.

The core raw material of tactical-grade plasma bombs is helium, which is quite rare on the earth but ubiquitous on the moon.

Ernie 002, which has six nuclear fusion engines and can easily reach the speed of the second universe, went to the moon in Universe 1995 (Tomorrow) to perform a helium-3 mining mission in early .

After all, Atlas, which has controllable nuclear fusion technology, requires a large amount of helium and deuterium for nuclear fusion reactions. At the same time, Atlas is also using ultra-high pressure and ultra-low temperature to try to produce metallic helium.

In the end, stable metallic helium was successfully extracted through an environment with a pressure of nearly four million times the atmosphere.

If you want to make metallic helium plasma, you need to heat it to a high temperature of more than one million degrees in an instant. Therefore, a plasma bomb dropped above the condensed matter needs to use a 2000-ton TNT-equivalent metallic hydrogen bomb as a fuse. .

The moment the fuse ignites the helium metal, a blue plasma fireball with an ultra-high temperature of about one billion degrees is released. Then this fireball will quickly follow the shock wave and spread around, weakening, until it completely disappears.

Therefore, in terms of destructive power, plasma bombs are absolutely No. 1 in the tactical field, but in the strategic field, hydrogen bombs that can easily reach the equivalent of 100 million tons of TNT are "old and strong".

The humanoid condensed matter in "Netherworld" is not afraid of the plasma discharge gun. It can face the plasma fireball with a temperature of at least one billion degrees, and the only result will be "vaporized".

Atlas's liberation of Minova in Universe 03 (destruction) requires precision calculations and accurate intelligence to avoid accidental damage to fellow human beings due to bombing, and ground troops need to be dispatched to mop up the remnants.

However, more than 30,000 compatriots, including privates and short-haired soldiers, are hiding in nuclear-proof shelters. Naturally, there is no need to send ground troops to take risks. Letting tactical weapons deal with condensed matter is the first choice.

Immediately afterwards, Ernie 004 airdropped twelve Tyrants equipped with ceramic armor and armed with small-caliber plasma cannons, as well as sixty clone soldiers armed with non-lethal weapons.

Within four minutes after the plasma bomb detonates;
  The airdrop pods landed at the north and west gates of the shelter respectively, and the Tyrant was responsible for dealing with the lucky remaining condensed matter. The Tyrant pilot also gave instructions to the clone soldiers, allowing "them" to break into the shelter.

This is why the private who wants to sacrifice himself and delay as much time as possible will be the first to encounter the clone soldiers. The main force aboard the intra-atmospheric transport aircraft had already taken off four hours before Ernie 004 launched a series of airdrops and air strikes, and arrived at the western and northern suburbs of Sana City seven minutes after the explosion. And completely controlled the situation on the scene.

At the same time, the fleet of transport planes in the atmosphere also carried enough drinking water and food, so that more than 30,000 compatriots could have a good meal as soon as they were rescued.

Iceland is eight thousand kilometers away.

In the command center of the forward base;

Sui Yang, standing next to the center console, understood that Atlas had completely controlled the situation in Sana City through the holographic screen that displayed various real-time dynamics and data, as well as high-altitude bird's-eye views.

What needs to be done next is to move 30,000 compatriots to the isolated Iceland to provide a truly safe living environment first.

During this period, Atlas staff will conduct inquiries, investigate and enter identities of compatriots, and obtain more past and information about Earth 04 through compatriots.

After one to two months, the free food and material supplies will be cancelled, allowing compatriots to earn exchange coupons through labor, and gradually start the work of rebuilding civilization.

Through the exploration and management of the first three universes, Atlas is very comfortable with these steps.

Within one to two months, Sui Yang still needs to lock in the condensed matter "driver", which is the location of the nervous system that was forcibly stripped away from the human body.

Since making condensed matter requires a huge amount of energy, he can use Ernie 004 to screen out the nuclear power plants that are still working, and then send tyrants and clone teams armed with plasma weapons to conduct airborne raids.

Then the condensed matter lacking nervous system control will collapse on its own, and Atlas can also take the opportunity to obtain a ready-made condensed matter factory.

Only when the threat of condensed matter is completely resolved can Atlas free up more time and energy to patiently search for the remaining humans hiding in underground shelters.

As a result, the situation of Universe 04 has been basically clear.

"Father." At this time, Horus, who was standing on Sui Yang's left hand side, looked at various data and said: "This action was so fast that the ground troops had no sense of participation."

"A sense of participation?" Sui Yang glanced at Horus and Magnus, who remained silent, and warned: "In the future, you will eventually be responsible for the operation and battle of one or even multiple universes. Remember , if conditions permit, long-range strike is the first choice for all solutions.”

"." Upon hearing this, the two original bodies nodded silently, seeming to be deducing the details of the operation in their minds.

Sui Yang, who also returned to silence, did not hear the cold voice in his mind.

This shows that not every universe will have offspring. Secondly, the human world in the third and fourth universes are in a doomsday state. He speculated that the threat level of the space gate may be gradually increasing, but it may not be.

However, Sui Yang has already determined that each space gate allows Atlas to absorb new technologies and materials. Therefore, after dealing with the necessary matters of Universe 04, it is time to start "reforming" human life in the main universe. .
