The rise of nanometers

Lucia.

Hermitage.

The great emperor was standing in front of the window, silently staring outside. In the flying snow, there was not only the cold whiteness, but also the gray nightmare.

The volcanic ash mixed with normal snowfall, although weakening the lethality of the volcanic ash to a certain extent, makes it more difficult to clean up.

The effect of the settling agent was greatly weakened. At this time, the essence of Lucia, namely the northeastern part of Xizhou, suffered the greatest impact.

On the contrary, it was the Siberian region that survived because the Western Continental Alliance and Lucia were launching fallout agents, and the source of volcanic ash in North America was cut off.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Prime Minister is already in the third hall." The attendant said cautiously.

The emperor closed his eyes and waved his hand with a hint of exhaustion: "I know."

After speaking, he walked to the floor-length mirror, straightened his collar a little, and looked at the person in the mirror. His hair was completely pale at the roots, and his face was full of wrinkles. Even dyeing his hair could not hide his decline in spirit.

well! He sighed secretly in his heart.

Then came to the third hall.

The Prime Minister and the ministers of important departments were all sitting upright, giving people a majestic and solemn pressure, but in his heart he could see everyone's uneasiness, decadence, and confusion.

As soon as he sat down, Pushkin, who was in charge of international intelligence work, stood up: "Your Majesty, colleagues, we have determined the real reason why Noah will surrender."

Everyone's eyes showed curiosity, quietly waiting for Pushkin's next words.

"Three reasons." Pushkin paused: "First, the sudden eruption of the Yellowstone volcano destroyed the social system of North America."

Everyone naturally knew about this reason, but in their opinion, the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano alone was not enough to make Noah surrender directly.

After all, in the past few years, in order to resist the huge pressure from the Federation, Noah has successively expanded a large number of new nuclear warheads. The current total number of nuclear warheads it possesses is about 13,000.

With such a huge stockpile of nuclear bombs, it should still have the ability to fight to the death.

Pushkin immediately said the second reason: "The second reason is that all the secrets of the Noah Society are completely controlled by the Federation."

"What……"

"Isn't this possible?"

"Gulu!"

Everyone's heart beat faster, which was obviously beyond their imagination.

"That's the fact. I activated a secret line that had been lurking for 17 years and obtained a list of intelligence provided by the federation to the Noah Society." After speaking, Pushkin handed an important summary of it to everyone present.

The emperor looked over it intently, and the more he looked at it, the weaker he became.

All the arrangements of the Noah Society seem to be one-way transparent to the federation, even clearer than the Noah Society itself.

After all, Noah will have thirty directors. These people have their own little plans, and they also have their own areas, base groups, and regions that they are responsible for.

In other words, it is difficult for directors of the Noah Society, even directors of the same faction, to understand each other 100%.

The Federation actually knew all of them very well. This was one of the reasons why the psychological defense of the top leaders of the Noah Society was directly defeated.

His own information about the Federation seemed to be in the fog, but the Federation's information about himself was as clear as fire.

For modern warfare, if the opponent fully grasps the intelligence, it means that half of the battle is lost before the battle is fought.

Taking into account the gap in industrial scale and weapons technology between the two sides, plus the fact that it was hit hard by the Yellowstone Volcano.

No wonder Noah knelt down directly, because there was no need to fight. Even if the Federation did not take action now and deliberately locked the volcanic ash in the Americas, it would be enough for Noah to collapse on his own.

"The third reason is that the Federation's controllable nuclear fusion technology has made breakthrough progress, and many nuclear fusion power stations have even been built."

Kuznetsov, who is in charge of the nuclear industry, was stunned by this information: "But International Thermonuclear... Damn it, we were deceived."

"That's right, we were deceived, and the whole world was deceived." Pushkin explained with a low face:

"Based on our re-analysis and reorganization, it can be initially determined that the Federation's nuclear fusion technology should have achieved a breakthrough around 14 years ago."

Everyone felt frustrated, and once again realized the mood of the top leaders of the Noah Society. The federation, which has controllable nuclear fusion, is an order of magnitude higher than them in terms of energy technology.

Coupled with the other terrifying technologies of the Federation, let alone building a greenhouse city, these technologies can even reverse the climate of Blue Star.

As for why it was not taken out before, everyone also guessed some reasons.

Because the Federation's advantages are not yet obvious, and given the current world situation at that time, if the Federation directly exposes controllable nuclear fusion technology, the other three major forces will definitely join forces immediately.

If things go wrong, a world war may break out directly.

And they hide the controllable nuclear fusion technology, secretly accumulate power, and wait for the opportunity to bulldoze the whole world in one fell swoop.

Obviously the federal strategy was successful. The global mini-glacial climate, coupled with the sudden eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, instantly severely damaged the Noah Society.

The Western Continent Alliance and Lucia also encountered serious problems under the impact of this horrific natural disaster.

The Emperor knew the next development trend without even thinking about it. Under the shroud of volcanic ash, the rate of global cooling would further accelerate.

The ultra-rapid global cooling has directly caused the ecology of mid- and high-latitudes to collapse, making it increasingly unsuitable for the growth of crops.

If there is a grain shortage of tens of millions of tons, we can still manage to survive through outsourcing, internal limited supply, and greenhouses.

But when the gap expands to hundreds of millions of tons or more than a billion tons, no force except the Federation can bear it.

Don't think that building a large-scale greenhouse is easy. Cost, energy, artificial light sources, fertilizers and pesticides, special agricultural machinery, and seeds are all problems.

Many things do not rely on scale, such as artificial light sources. In terms of current global artificial light source technology, except for the Sun-35 series of the Suiren system, other forces do not have low-cost fully realistic artificial light sources.

Without full-scale real artificial light sources, only a small number of crops can be grown in greenhouses. Some crops that require strong sunlight and specific light sources will be stunted.

Some people may say, doesn’t a greenhouse have natural light?

The problem is that for high latitudes, daily natural light is obviously not enough for normal use all year round.

In addition, volcanic ash covers the atmosphere, blocking sunlight from reaching the blue star's ground.

It has only been a month since the Yellowstone volcano erupted, and the average temperature around the world has once again hit a record low.

Temperatures in various places have dropped by an average of 5.7 to 6.8 degrees Celsius. The most serious situation was in North America, where some areas dropped by dozens of degrees Celsius overnight.

In this case, Blue Star has begun to enter a new round of mass extinction.

The federal Institute of Geology has even prepared to use this eruption of the Yellowstone volcano as a dividing point in geological time and name it the "Cenozoic-Quaternary-Yellowstone Volcanic Mass Extinction Event."

Taking this event as the end of the Fourth Era is also the starting point of the New Era.

The emperor sighed softly: "Get ready for the merger!"

"But..." One of the ministers muttered unwillingly, but saw that the others looked depressed, and finally did not continue.

So what if you don’t want to quit?

Even if the Federation doesn't take action, it can trap them in high latitudes and use the natural power of the Ice Age to completely end all their power.
