Chapter 834: Section 829 - Detonation
The legendary "Tsar" Plus version, with a length of 10 meters and a diameter of 2.8 meters, has a full power equivalent of 200 million tons of TNT. If dropped at deadly places like the Mariana Trench or Yellowstone Park, the entire Blue Star Civilization might be annihilated even before the Parasitic Species invasion.
This massive and fierce weapon is actually quite suitable for the Metallic Dragons to play with.
"Slurp!~"
Osmium Osiris disgracefully licked the bomb on the spot, utterly shaming the Dragon Clan.
The next second, it froze.
A Silver Dragon from the Space Series sent an early condolence message: "If you dare to take a bite, I'll throw you into the space-time turbulence!!"
Inter-territorial enforcement may be nothing, but Silver Dragons have always played across planes. Don't think that Osmium Osiris is immune to enforcement just because it's within Blue Star Sovereignty.
Many high-ranking entities, although physically absent, had their sights intently focused on the scene.
"Rookie, perform artificial safety unlock operation on the 'Tsar,' following my instructions."
The sound of paper rustling came from the female communicator, printed procedures used spatial transmission methods, making technical theft impossible.
Such a grand move is due to the importance of the "Tsar."
"Received! Osmium Osiris, please step aside, it's not your turn yet!"
Although the words sounded polite, under Chen Fei's control, the Mechanical Dragon rudely pushed Osmium Osiris aside. In terms of weight, the two were almost equal, but if special abilities were added, the Metallic Dragon might suffer secretly.
Yilan, the little traitor, sold out all the family data of the Metallic Dragons completely.
"This really is interesting!"
Osmium Osiris turned its attention to Chen Fei's X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor, slurping over its body.
The Metallic Dragon with safety level D isn't a true dragon in the strict sense, seeing its appearance always makes people feel uneasy.
"Keep your distance, I don't do that!"
The Mechanical Dragon, with Chen Fei's voice, looked back at Osmium Osiris with disdain.
Osmium Osiris, furious, said: "Huh? I don't do that either, okay?"
If not during mating season, it wouldn't glance at the female dragons, everyone is fierce and brutal, with a foul temper, what's worth looking at?
Osmium Osiris indeed doesn't do that but it's uncertain whether it does the mechanical.
With extensive experience in unlocking big killers, the safety procedures for nuclear weapons are no less than elemental annihilation bombs. Following the communicator's instructions, Chen Fei quickly set the "Tsar" to combat status, then stepped back.
"Osmium Osiris, now pull out the physical key from the 'Tsar.' On the next insertion, after entering the final detonation password, it will enter a 10-minute countdown, anchored to the spatial coordinates, immovable, safety distance 100 kilometers."
The "Tsar" is not just a simple level three thermonuclear warhead. On its ultra-high pressure shell surface, complex magic arrays are engraved. Once activated, it can no longer be moved to prevent Parasites from using it against Blue Star.
This is a safety mechanism, hoping the Parasites can't crack it in a short time.
The 100-kilometer lethal radius applies to humans. For Metallic Dragons, this distance can be reduced to 30 kilometers.
If Osmium Osiris dares to prove its ability within 10 kilometers, bearing the full power of the "Tsar," its fate wouldn't be much better than being collectively bombarded by Pure Light Sparrows.
"Understood! I'm leaving now!"
Osmium Osiris swung its tail, skilfully pulling out the finger-thick physical key from the control window on the "Tsar"'s surface.
Beep!~
The thermonuclear warhead immediately reacted.
The giant Blade Wings fully opened, enhancing its levitation ability with the natural talent skill "Void Magnetic Field," directly lifting the "Tsar," with a light wing flap, heading towards the slowly rotating Black Cloud in the distance.
"I'm off!"
"Good luck!"
Chen Fei loudly bid farewell.
Metallic Dragons are naturally indifferent emotionally, often disregarding their lives, they always see life and death lightly, preferring unrestrained slaughter, being called "Dragon of Slaughter" is well-deserved, a notorious name built from countless lives and bones.
Despite being the most unstable members of the Dragon Clan, they are the best at bravely dying. Blue Star Sovereignty's attempt originally didn't expect success, but unexpectedly, the Metallic Dragon Clan responded without hesitation and sent Osmium Osiris, ready to face death.
Osmium Osiris swung its tail in response, dozens of long flames burst between the Blade Wings, accelerating suddenly, diving into the "Wormhole Cloud" amid dense barrage, disappearing for good.
Rushing into the "Wormhole Cloud" was not only Osmium Osiris but also over a thousand reconnaissance drones, following closely like a Black Cloud, constantly flowing upstream, trying to establish a data link forcefully by quantity, even a few seconds, to see the world on the other side of the "Wormhole Cloud."
Below the Black Cloud, fireballs exploded repeatedly. Regardless of how optimized the evasion algorithms were, it still couldn't prevent the reconnaissance drones from head-on collisions with the swarming monsters. Each fireball meant the loss of a drone.
Although over a thousand drones seemed numerous, rushing upstream was destined for massive losses unless, like Metallic Dragons, having thick skins capable of shattering oncoming monsters into pieces, it was anticipated by the Desert Peninsula Sovereignty and the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee's command teams, even if none survived, even if one did, it would be a success.
"20 minutes countdown starts!"
Chen Fei heard the reminder from the communicator.
Once the "Tsar" enters the "Wormhole Cloud," regardless of whether Osmium Osiris performed the final detonation operation, the level three thermonuclear warhead would automatically start the detonation program, leaving Metallic Dragons at most 10 minutes of active time.
Based on analysis from the previous data obtained by firing Element Annihilation Bombs into the "Wormhole Cloud" using Crystal Jets, the full traversal time required at most 1 minute,
actual temporal crossing took less than a second, only in an instant, the rest of the time was within the special force field carried by the "Wormhole," distorting the physical meaning of time and space, external time measurement was inaccurate.
Suicide squad member Metallic Dragon Osmium Osiris has departed, the defensive lines surrounding the "Wormhole Cloud" started retreating, leaving numerous automatic fire platforms behind, maintaining intense barrage output.
None knew the exact impact of the level three thermonuclear warhead on the "Wormhole Cloud," but they had witnessed the thunderstorm eruptions of the "Wormhole Cloud," bizarre lightning that could damage Crystal Jets. Ground and air personnel, if affected, might suffer considerable unnecessary casualties.
Chen Fei's AR visual interface automatically displayed the "Tsar"'s detonation countdown.
Countdown 18 minutes, Osmium Osiris should have reached the other end of the "Wormhole Cloud."
A large number of reconnaissance drones entered the "Wormhole Cloud," still failing to establish a successful communication link.
Countdown 10 minutes.
Manual countdown for nuclear weapons started, regardless of whether Osmium Osiris performed the operation, the "Tsar" would unwaveringly detonate on schedule.
If any unexpected situation occurred, and the "Tsar" were thrown back to Blue Star, the Blue Star sovereignties were always prepared to abort the detonation.
Almost simultaneously, abort commands were continuously broadcast globally, covering the entire planet.
Countdown 5 minutes.
"'Wormhole Cloud' communication link established! Ah! It's gone again!"
Good news came from the command center, after spending over a thousand reconnaissance drones, they managed to gain some results, a fortunate temporary communication link was established but only lasted 1 second before disruption.
However, 1 second was enough for special reconnaissance equipment to accomplish many things, like recording up to 10GB ultra-high-definition panoramic video, 200,000 frames of high-definition full-frame images, 10,000 kilometers long-wave terrain scanning… and so on.
As long as one drone successfully broke through the "Wormhole Cloud," establishing a communication link channel with others, it would be enough to gather a tremendous amount of precious intelligence within such a short time.
Meteors sprayed from the bottom of the "Wormhole Cloud," flying in all directions.
The physical storage components carrying reconnaissance data were launched by small rockets at a speed of Mach 3, escaping at one kilometer per second.
Within seconds, over half of the physical storage components broke through their own intercept fire nets, each was caught by small drones coming from the opposite side, taken to distant locations.
An operation of breathtaking precision, counting every second.
Although some physical storage components flying randomly were destroyed by the crisscrossing barrage, all physical storage components stored identical data backups. If even one was successfully recovered, it would be a major success, the sovereignty and command center had considered the worst scenarios in advance.
Even Chen Fei's Mechanical Dragon successfully captured a palm-sized physical storage component, lightly bumped by the Universal Data Transceiver, which was then retrieved by personnel rushing over.
Adam: Encrypted file detected, starting decryption, requires 4 hours and 11 minutes, countdown begins, 4 hours 10 minutes 58 seconds remaining, progress 0%
Due to special algorithm encryption, even with vast computing power, pure brute-force decryption wasn't an easy task.
Countdown 1 minute, 59 seconds, 58 seconds…15 seconds!~
A tremendous, earth-shaking explosion.
Over the Desert Peninsula, slowly rotating Black Clouds transformed into terrifying thunderstorms, countless thick lightning bolts grew wildly in all directions.
Within a radius of two kilometers almost filled with electric light, the air directly turned into a plasma state, electric plasma churned, erupting frightening sounds.
Even five kilometers away, electric arcs would still affect, sand struck turned into black glass magma.
Even at the true safety distance, ten kilometers away, people's skin and hair could still feel a faint tingling sensation.
