After finalizing the deal, Fang Qingdai gave Jing Yi a wink.

Their trip to facilitate the deal was merely an accident; their main purpose was to explore the Azure Dragon Base's current attitude towards the other three major bases.

To be precise, it's about the attitude towards the experiment of creating a god.

Jing Yi put down his cutlery, cleared his throat, and said, "Lieutenant Wang, the main reason we've come here is for another matter."

Lieutenant Wang immediately adopted a listening posture: "Please speak."

Jing Yi wasn't one to beat around the bush; he asked directly, "How much do you know about the god-making experiment?"

Lieutenant Wang's face suddenly darkened, and he gave an eight-word response: "Violating morality, losing humanity."

Fang Qingdai and Jing Yi exchanged a glance, and Jing Yi continued, "The three major bases are currently facing a tense situation and are likely to start a war soon. If they fight, it may not be conducive to our development of agricultural undertakings."

Jing Yi didn't talk about the development of the God-Making Project, but only mentioned the potential impact if the three major bases went to war.

Lieutenant Wang sneered: "It will not only hinder the development of agriculture, but more importantly, a battle will result in many more human casualties. Even the victors will ultimately become victims of the experiment to create gods."

"The three major bases are becoming increasingly nonsensical!"

Fang Qingdai breathed a slight sigh of relief.

What I'm afraid of is that the Azure Dragon Base will beat around the bush and not state its position directly.

An ambiguous attitude makes it difficult for Oasis Base to determine how much trust to place.

Fortunately, Lieutenant Wang was very straightforward, so Fang Qingdai didn't probe further: "Does the Azure Dragon Base have any intention of getting involved in this farce?"

Lieutenant Wang also became serious: "I have high hopes for the Oasis Base, and I believe that your development philosophy is people-oriented. In that case, we should be friends."

"I won't hide anything from my friends. The Azure Dragon Base knew about the God-Making Experiment three years ago, and since then we've been using all sorts of methods to find out who was in charge of the experiment and to get to the bottom of it."

"It wasn't until the three major bases exposed their deification experiment to the outside world, and a high-ranking official from the Azure Dragon Base defected from the base, that we learned who was behind it!"

Fang Qingdai and Jing Yi exchanged another glance, surprised but not unexpected by the result.

They had long suspected that if even the base chief of the Xuanwu Base was one of them, then the person at the root of the problem was definitely not an ordinary person.

Their power and status are likely far superior to those of the three base chiefs; otherwise, they would not have the ability to gradually erode the power of the three giants.

If that's the case, then the root cause is most likely from the Azure Dragon Base, the big brother of the wasteland!

The fact that the three bases will confront each other clearly indicates that the organization has successfully taken control of the three bases with the help of its backers and is now acting with impunity.

Thinking of this, Fang Qingdai asked, "Did the defector take a lot of people with him?"

Otherwise, how can they support forces to stir up trouble in the three major bases?

Lieutenant Wang's face darkened: "He stole nuclear bomb technology."

One sentence was enough to turn Fang Qingdai's face pale!

"Nuclear bombs? I heard that in the later stages of the apocalypse, humanity used nuclear bombs to suppress the enemy and successfully carved out a territory where humans could live in peace. But what followed was climate change, environmental alteration, and a large amount of nuclear pollution residue, which led to more severe mutations in plants and animals."

"Weren't nuclear weapons banned from development and use in the early days of the wasteland?"

The Oasis Base has a complete collection of books, and its members are quite knowledgeable about the power of nuclear weapons and the historical consequences of their destructive effects.

The nuclear bomb shocked all the members of the Oasis base.

Looking at the uproar among the Oasis base members, Lieutenant Wang, who had originally intended to explain the meaning of the nuclear bomb, shut his mouth again.

Looking at the members of the Azure Dragon Base, most of them seemed bewildered, and Wang, the adjutant, felt a mix of emotions.

He asked, "You...have a lot of information and books, right?"

Fang Qingdai snapped out of her reverie and nodded: "Yes, I recently acquired the collection of a library. The categories are quite comprehensive. If the Azure Dragon Base needs them, we can purchase transfer copies from the Oasis Base!"

Lieutenant Wang immediately nodded with delight: "Really? Thank you so much, Chief Qing! I knew you were a good leader who cared about the country and its people!"

Fang Qingdai forced a smile, too shocked by the news of the nuclear bomb to even think about arguing.

She steered the conversation back to the main point, asking, "So, do they possess the technology to manufacture nuclear weapons?"

Lieutenant Wang sighed: "In the early days of the wasteland's establishment, considering that the wasteland was already riddled with holes and the human living environment was in imminent danger, the military explicitly prohibited the research and development and use of nuclear bombs. However, some documents recording nuclear bomb manufacturing technology were not destroyed, but simply sealed away."

Fang Qingdai could understand.

The ability to develop and manufacture nuclear weapons was once a key factor that could directly affect a country's status.

Even if the wasteland environment can no longer withstand the bombing of nuclear weapons, no one would be willing to completely destroy such advanced technology.

It's not just reluctance, but mainly worry.

What if we destroy it, but another power still possesses the technology? What if we face a threat in the future and have no trump card to deal with it?

Due to various concerns, the technology for manufacturing nuclear weapons was simply shelved.

Lieutenant Wang continued, "We don't know whether he did any research or took any action before stealing the data, so we can't determine whether he can restart nuclear bomb manufacturing."

Even the Qinglong Base adheres to discipline and has never restarted nuclear bomb research and development. How can we know what others can achieve if we haven't tried?

This is a sharp blade hanging overhead; no one knows if it will actually fall!

Fang Qingdai slumped in the chair, feeling weak and exhausted.

That organization conducts human experiments, and by stripping others of their superpowers, they have created artificial superhumans and already possess a group of extremely powerful combatants.

Now that we know that the other side may also be able to develop nuclear bombs, no matter how powerful or how high their level of superpowers is, can they contend with nuclear bombs?

They really don't leave anyone any way out!

Fang Qingdai asked helplessly, "Then, in order to deal with the possibility that the other side might develop nuclear weapons that threaten human safety, will the Qinglong Base restart its nuclear weapons research and development?"

If the Azure Dragon Base also restarts research and development, then the Oasis Base will truly be just playing house. It may seem to be thriving and developing steadily, but in reality, it has no foundation for survival and dares not challenge any power at all!

At that moment, Fang Qingdai desperately wished that the Oasis Base could also possess nuclear bomb research and development technology. It didn't have to be used, but it really had to have it!

To everyone's surprise, Lieutenant Wang shook his head firmly: "No, the Azure Dragon Base will not restart the development of nuclear weapons."

Fang Qingdai looked at him in astonishment: "Even if the other side threatens with nuclear weapons and there is a high possibility of total annihilation, will you not restart research and development?"

Lieutenant Wang nodded firmly: "No. If the enemy uses a nuclear bomb, at most we'll die. But if we retaliate with a nuclear bomb, the wasteland will be completely destroyed."

The Azure Dragon Base chose to sacrifice itself over the collective extinction of humanity.
