In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed in the new dynasty.
For the new dynasty, these five years have been a year of drastic changes.
The emperor was sick, and although he used various methods, he could barely maintain his life.
As the disease worsened, the emperor's character became more and more weird, even violent.
Domineering, authoritarian, irritable, irritable.
It's getting more and more scary.
If the personality change is still a trivial matter, then under his leadership, countless resources poured into the Xizhou Research Institute almost crazily, which actually affected the operation of the entire society.
In order to produce enough weapons, the national treasury was emptied, a series of infrastructure projects stagnated, taxes were increased, and even administrative means were used to search for wealth in an attitude of exhausting resources, which made the economy of the entire society slump.
Under the prosperity of the electrical age, the country that was supposed to be vigorous has become weak in just a few years.
Some people tried to resist, but it was difficult to cause any disturbance.
After the brief heyday of the entire new dynasty, it seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and countless people were confused, wondering what the "talented and bold" emperor was thinking.
…
"I just want to look outside."
Daxizhou, at the edge of the mountains, at the end of the northern mountains, at the edge of the endless sea, stands a high mountain.
On the side close to the sea, the lower part is a steep and smooth rock wall, while in the upper part, "windows" are artificially opened, and special glass is inlaid for this purpose.
Here is the forefront of Xizhou Research Institute.
The mountainside is hollow, and the central laboratory is hidden in the mountainside.
In order to blow up the "border", the super weapon, the "annihilation bomb" manufactured by the research institute, must be dropped at the end of the sea.
And the mountains in Daxizhou are the closest land to the "boundary".
As early as before, all the "annihilation bombs" manufactured in the past five years have been placed at the end of the ocean, and submarine cables have been laid to lead the "switch" to this central laboratory.
This is also almost the limit of control.
At this moment, in the central hall of the laboratory, the old emperor was standing in front of the "window" with the support of others, looking at the ocean outside.
Today's weather is very good, there is no wind and waves on the sea, and it seems that the "magnificent wall" can be seen very far away.
Behind him, in the central hall, countless people are busy making final confirmations.
After a while, the chief scientist who also showed his old age walked slowly:
"Your Majesty, three thousand annihilation bombs have been deployed, and the final adjustments have been completed, ready to be detonated at any time."
As he spoke, he held up a dark green metal box in his hand. There were several cables connected to the bottom of the box, like long snakes, hanging on the ground, leading to the instruments around the laboratory.
"Very good." The old emperor withdrew his gaze, stared at him with his already cloudy eyes, barely raised his weak right hand, but at this moment, he hesitated briefly:
"You know the consequences of detonating it, right?"
"Yes. According to calculations, if such a number of annihilation bombs detonate at the same time, the energy of the explosion will change the ecological environment of the surrounding area, and even cause the collapse of the ecological system of the whole world.
For us, even with a thick rock wall blocking it, the radiation it produces will kill us all in a short time, without exception. "
The chief scientist narrated in a calm voice.
His voice was not deliberately lowered, but the people around him did not respond to it.
In the past five years, through activating the "Secret Seal" many times, the old emperor had already deeply embedded the idea of destruction in the minds of these people.
"Then do you think I should open it?" The old emperor suddenly asked in confirmation after hearing the words.
"I... don't know." The chief scientist's eyes were a little confused.
"I understand." The old emperor pursed his lips, took the detonator with trembling hands, then turned around and looked at the sea outside the window.
At this moment, the few researchers in the laboratory came over one after another, looking at the small detonator blankly.
No one spoke, and in the hall, a needle could be heard.
Only the old emperor followed the marked steps, slowly opened the casing, entered the password, and pulled the safety... Finally, he hung his hand on the wrench.
Outside the window, the sun was shining, shining on his withered face, but there was no warmth at all.
"Click." There was a crisp triggering sound.
Immediately, in the dead silence, the electrical signal was input into the instrument through the detonator, and then led to the other end of the world through the long submarine cable.
A short silence.
Then, an unknown researcher exclaimed in admiration: "Wow."
In the distance, a terrifying force tore apart the tranquil sea, set off violent winds and waves, and scattered the clouds in the sky.
A violent, indescribable bang drowned out all the sounds, and countless cracks appeared on the special glass inlaid on the mountain, and it shattered in an instant!
The infinite, pure, and snow-white "light" penetrated through the window, piercing everyone's retinas at this moment.
overwhelmed their consciousness.
At this moment, three thousand "annihilation bombs" detonated at the same time!
Dozens of miles of ocean heat up, boil, and evaporate countless water vapor!
The terrifying shock wave tore apart countless equipment and detectors on the mountain peak.
Dust full of radiation rose into the sky, spread rapidly, swept across the entire Atlantic Continent, and then spread to cities farther away.
In one city after another.
Countless people on the street, in the room, in the factory, in the school, in the hospital, in the station... At this moment, countless people raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of Daxizhou.
Looking at the fire that ignited half of the sky.
Countless men and women, old and young.
At this moment, I felt the shaking of the earth.
He widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide, feeling the tingling pain of his skin, staring at the dust storm that stretched for hundreds of kilometers in the sky, and uttered a horrified cry:
"ah!!!"
After the detonation of the three thousand annihilation bombs, at 6 minutes and 26 seconds, the shock wave swept across the entire territory of Daxizhou!
At 7 minutes and 21 seconds, Mingzhou Prefecture fell!
At 8 minutes and 49 seconds, Tai'an Mansion fell!
At 11 minutes and 05 seconds, Jingchuan Mansion fell!
…
18 minutes exactly, approaching the center of the mainland.
At 22 minutes and 07 seconds, the shock wave swept through Kyoto! !
…
After one hour.
Tucker Continent, 300,000 square kilometers of fertile land, has been reduced to wasteland! ! !
…
…
At the same time, in Yangcheng City, inside an internet celebrity hotpot restaurant.
The air conditioner is fully turned on.
at a certain table.
Lin Tuo was holding the chopsticks, stirring the spicy pot in front of him, in the pot, in the tempting soup, all the ingredients were ups and downs.
Beside the left hand, most of the iced drink has been drunk.
"Huh~" Picking up a large roll of overcooked mutton, Lin Tuo subconsciously blew it, then dipped it in the sauce, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed happily.
After swallowing it in the stomach, the whole body feels warm.
Picking up the drink, Ton Ton took another sip, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead:
"Mutton is only satisfied if you eat it."
While muttering in his heart, the screen of the phone that Lin Tuo placed next to him suddenly lit up again.
It's an alarm clock.
It's time to harvest ether again.
"Oh, it's troublesome to take too much, I have 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!
next second.
Lishan Martial Arts, in the study.
The sleeping body lying in the rattan chair 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.
Confused.
…
After a while.
I only heard a tragic scream suddenly sounded in the martial arts study:
"What the hell... what the hell is going on?!!"
