Chapter 30: The Wasteland

In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed in the new dynasty.

These five years have been a year of dramatic change for the new dynasty.

The emperor was sick, and although he used various methods, he could only barely maintain his life.

And as the illness worsened, the emperor's personality became more and more eccentric, even violent.

Assertive, domineering, irritable, irritable.

It's getting more and more frightening.

If the change in personality is still a trivial matter, then, under his leadership, countless resources have poured into the Xizhou Research Institute almost frantically, which has really affected the operation of the entire society.

In order to create enough weapons, the national treasury was emptied, a series of infrastructure projects were stagnant, taxes were increased, and even administrative means were used to loot wealth in a posture of fishing for money, which caused the economy of the whole society to be depressed.

In the heyday of the Electric Age, a country that was supposed to be vigorous has weakened in just a few years.

Some people tried to resist, but it was difficult to make any waves.

After the brief heyday of the entire new dynasty, it seemed to be crumbling, and countless people were puzzled and did not understand what the "eloquent" emperor was thinking.

……

"I just want to look outside."

On the Great Western Continent, at the very edge of the mountains, at the end of the northern mountain range, at the edge of the endless sea, stands a high mountain.

On the side near the sea, the lower part has a steep and smooth stone wall, while in the upper part, there are artificially carved out "windows" and inlaid with special glass.

This is the forefront of the Xizhou Research Institute.

The belly of the mountain is hollow, and the central laboratory is hidden in the belly of the mountain.

If you want to blow up the "border", you must drop the superweapon, the "annihilation bomb" made by the research institute, at the end of the sea.

And this mountain in Daxizhou is the closest land to the "border".

All the "annihilation bombs" produced in the past five years have been placed at the end of the ocean, and submarine cables have been laid to direct the "switches" to this central laboratory.

It's also pretty much the limit of control.

At this moment, in the central hall of the laboratory, the old emperor is standing in front of the "window" with the support of others, looking at the ocean outside.

Today's weather is excellent, there is no wind and waves on the sea, and vaguely, it seems that you can see the "magnificent wall" in the distance.

Behind him, in the central hall, countless people were busy, making final confirmations.

A moment later, the chief scientist, who was also already showing his old state, walked slowly:

"Your Majesty, the three thousand annihilation bombs have been deployed, and the final commissioning has been completed, and they can be detonated at any time."

As he spoke, he held up a dark green metal box in his hand, and at the bottom of the box were connected to several cables, like long snakes, hanging on the ground, leading to the instruments around the laboratory.

"Good." The old emperor withdrew his gaze, stared at him with his already cloudy eyes, and barely raised his weak right hand, but at this moment, he hesitated briefly:

"You know, the consequences of detonating it, right?"

"Yes. It has been calculated that the simultaneous detonation of such a number of annihilation bombs will alter the ecological environment of the surrounding area, and even cause the collapse of ecosystems around the world.

For us, even if we are blocked by a thick rock wall, the radiation it produces will kill us all in a short period of time, without exception. ”

The Chief Scientist recounted in a calm voice.

His voice was not deliberately low, but the people around him did not react to it.

In the past five years, by activating the "Secret Seal" many times, the old emperor has already deeply embedded the idea of destruction in the minds of these people.

"So do you think I should turn it on?" When the old emperor heard this, he suddenly asked with confirmation.

"Minister...... Ignorance. The Chief Scientist's eyes were a little confused.

"I see." The old emperor pursed his lips, took the detonator with a trembling hand, and then turned and looked out the window at the sea.

At this moment, the few researchers in the laboratory came over one after another, looking at the small detonator with blank expressions.

No one spoke, and in the hall, pins could be heard.

Only the old emperor followed the marked steps, slowly, opened the shell, entered the password, and pulled the safety...... Eventually, hang your hand over that wrench.

Outside the window, the sun was shining, shining on his shriveled face, but there was no warmth.

"Click." A crisp wrench sounded.

Instantly, in a dead silence, the telegraph was fed into the instrument via a detonator, and then to the other side of the world via a long submarine cable.

There was a brief silence.

Then, some researcher let out an exclamation of admiration, "Wow. ”

In the distance, a terrifying force tore through the Sea of Tranquility, setting off a violent wind and waves, blowing away the clouds in the sky.

A violent and indescribable boom drowned out all the sounds, and countless cracks appeared in the special glass embedded in the mountain, which shattered in an instant!

The infinite, pure, snow-white "light" passed through the window, and at this moment, pierced everyone's retina.

drowning their consciousness.

At this moment, 3,000 "annihilation bombs" detonated at the same time!

Dozens of miles of ocean heats up, boils, and evaporates countless water vapor!

The terrifying shock wave tore apart countless devices and detectors on the mountain peak.

The radiated dust rose into the air and spread rapidly, sweeping across the continent and then spreading to cities farther afield.

city after city.

On the street, in a room, in a factory, in a school, in a hospital, in a station...... At this moment, countless people raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of Daxizhou.

Look at the fire that lit up half of the sky.

Countless men and women, old people and children.

At this moment, I feel the shaking of the earth.

His eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, he felt the stinging pain of his skin, stared at the dust storm that stretched for hundreds of kilometers in the sky, and let out a cry of terror:

"Ah!!h

After the 3,000 annihilation bomb was detonated, in 6 minutes and 26 seconds, the shock wave swept across the entire territory of Daxi Continent!

In 7 minutes and 21 seconds, Mingzhou Mansion fell!

In 8 minutes and 49 seconds, Taean House fell!

At 11 minutes and 05 seconds, Jingchuan Mansion fell!

……

At 18 minutes, approaching the center of the continent.

22 minutes 07 seconds, a shock wave swept through Kyoto!!

……

An hour later.

Tucker Continent, 300,000 square kilometers of fertile soil, has been reduced to wasteland!!

……

……

At the same time, Yangcheng City, inside an Internet celebrity hot pot restaurant.

The air conditioner was turned on very much.

At a certain table.

Lin Tuo was pinching his chopsticks and stirring the spicy pot in front of him, in the pot, in the tempting soup, the same ingredients were tumbling and tumbling.

On the left-hand side, most of the cold drink has been drunk.

"Huh~" picked up a large roll of boiled and cooked mutton, Lin Tuo subconsciously blew it, and then dipped it in the sauce, took a full mouthful, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it happily.

When I swallow it in my stomach, I feel that my whole body is warm.

Picked up the drink and took another sip, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead:

"Lamb has to be eaten in large gulps to be satisfied."

As he was muttering in his heart, the screen of Lin Tuo's mobile phone next to him suddenly lit up again.

It's a timed alarm clock.

It's time to gather the aether again.

"Alas, it's also a worry to think too much, I'm going to suck it every once in a while......" Shaking his head, Lin Tuo put down his chopsticks, leaned his body on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes.

Consciousness switch!

The next second.

Leaving the mountain martial arts hall, in the study.

Lying in the rattan chair, the sleeping body slowly opened its eyes, got up, walked to the sand table, and switched it back to "creative mode".

Wait for the light and shadow conversion to complete.

Lin Tuo overlooked the 300,000 square kilometers of wasteland.

A bewildered face.

……

A moment later.

I only heard a terrible exclamation in the study room of the martial arts hall:

"What the hell is this...... What the hell is going on?!! ”
