Chapter Forty-Six: The State



Blue Star.

After today's Mars live broadcast ended, people were unusually quiet, and no one left their television sets.

Humanity has suffered a calamity, but the survivors continue to live tenaciously. Compared to the initial "chaotic era," human life is getting better and better, and humans believe that life will continue to improve in the future.

Because humanity has realized its mistakes and will not repeat them.

But are we not even given a chance to reflect?

Humanity itself has buried its own opportunity for self-reflection.

Ten heavy nuclear fusion interplanetary cruise missiles, each with 100 warheads, each with a 4-megaton capacity, will attack 100 targets on Earth.

Humanity can no longer withstand a second wave of catastrophe.

This calamity was sown by humanity's own mistakes.

"ladies and gentlemen……"

Shortly after the Mars live stream ended, the same video was playing in the survivor squares around the world.

People in despair all looked up at the big screen.

This is a video recording of a speech by US President Trump, delivered to the world by US intelligence agents after a long journey.

"Today I am here to give a speech and, as the President of the United States, to solemnly apologize to the world."

In the picture, President Tekopf bows deeply.

"Because of the mistakes we have made, all mankind will suffer a second catastrophe, which the Bible calls the end of the world, the end of everything."

"This may be the first time in the history of our planet that humanity has brought about its own destruction through the science and technology it has mastered."

The video included a segment on the "Sun God Project," which clearly explained the impending catastrophe facing humanity.

“We are deeply sorry, and any words of forgiveness are empty and powerless at this time. All we can do is do everything in our power to make up for the mistakes we have made.”

"In this catastrophe, the vast lands of the United States and Russia, which are not within 100 targets, will become safe havens."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have one month left."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we only have one month left!"

"We humans have experienced the chaos, mistakes, and errors of history, all kinds of suffering and misfortune, and the changes of the times. There is only one thing that can nourish our souls and inspire humanity to surpass itself, and that is our courage."

"The courage for humanity to continue to survive!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, come home, take your families, your parents, your children, and head to the soil of the United States, where this will become your new home!"

"Survivor sites in all 50 states of the United States will be open to all of humanity. People all over the world will be able to travel to these safe zones with the help of U.S. staff."

"No matter your skin color, religion, or ethnicity, the doors of the United States are open to you. The United States welcomes all of humanity!"

"I wish you a safe and smooth journey!"

The video was played on a loop on large screens in the squares of various human survival points.

Numerous U.S. government officials were distributing materials to the crowd. These materials included a letter from the U.S. President to all of humanity, route information from the local survivor site to the United States, and—

A letter renouncing one's original nationality and swearing allegiance to the United States.

...

Qiongzhou Island, Wenchang Temporary Center.

The Fourth International Multilateral Symposium on Mars Rescue.

"It can be basically confirmed that 10 'Helios II' heavy nuclear fusion interplanetary cruise missiles will arrive on Earth in 28 days, 14 hours and 33 minutes," said Liao Changtian, director of the Aerospace Teaching and Research Office, in his report.

"So precise?" Xiao Yimin asked. "Can we calculate the exact time a heavy nuclear missile will reach Earth?"

“It’s not difficult at all,” Liao Changtian said. “After President Tucker’s speech, the United States released the complete set of documents for the ‘Project Apollo,’ which even contained the source code for heavy nuclear missiles.”

"So transparent?"

"What's there to hide?" Chief Engineer Yang Jiandong said with dissatisfaction. "After this, there are only two 'instigators' left in the world: Milo. Who else do they need to hide it from?"

"Mr. Brosnan?"

Xiao Yimin noticed that the European Space Agency Director Brosnan remained silent with his head down, looking dejected.

“Mr. Brosnan? Mr. Brosnan…”

"ah?"

Xiao Yimin called out several times before Brosnan finally reacted.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao. I wasn't listening to you."

"It's alright, Mr. Brosnan. What are you thinking about?"

"What else could we be thinking about?" the straightforward Chief Engineer Yang interjected. "Fake brothers! The US didn't exclude the EU from the 100 targets this time."

"Haha." Brosnan shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's alright." Xiao Yimin patted Brosnan on the shoulder. "If I'm not mistaken, our country is the main target of these 100 warheads. You shouldn't be hit by many of them. Hahaha."

“Mr. Xiao, the quantity doesn’t really make a difference.” Brosnan stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and wrote with a pen as he spoke, “The ‘Helios II’ heavy nuclear fusion interplanetary cruise missile is 18.26 meters long and 1.67 meters in diameter. It carries 10 warheads and can attack 10 different targets at the same time. Each warhead has a yield of 4 megatons.”

"The warhead casing is made of tungsten carbide alloy and will pass through the atmosphere at a speed of Mach 20. Using the high temperature and kinetic energy of the warhead, it can penetrate up to 1,000 meters underground to complete the detonation of heavy nuclear fusion."

“Wait, Mr. Brosnan,” Xiao Yimin asked, “why does ‘Sun God’ need to be deep underground? Wouldn’t detonating it in the air create a larger area of ​​damage?”

“I understand what you mean, Mr. Xiao. Just like thermobaric weapons, airbursts can indeed cause greater damage to ground targets.”

"Then why..."

"Because the target of 'Sun God' is not humans, but 'nations'."

"The nation?" Everyone present was stunned.

"Yes, the country."

“Let’s take your China as an example.” Brosnan drew a map on the board, then drew a horizontal line across the capital city. “This place is the North China Volcanic and Seismic Belt. From a plate tectonics perspective, this is a small fault zone within the Eurasian continent. The ‘Yuanshan Earthquake’ occurred on this fault zone. You should know this better than I do, so I don’t need to explain further. And then…”

"The 'Helios' will drill into the ground at a speed of Mach 20, triggering heavy nuclear fusion at the center of the North China Volcanic and Seismic Belt, and causing a chain reaction with a yield of 4 million tons, which will stretch this fault zone apart."

"Imagine, including the Hengduan Mountains volcanic and seismic belt, the Northwest Mountains volcanic and seismic belt... it would only take 10 warheads to penetrate such places."

"This would allow the Republic of China to be geographically divided into more than 10 small countries."

!! !! !!

Everyone else present stared in horror.

"No, we must report to the highest level immediately!"

"This is no longer a matter of losing 10 or 100 surviving cities; it's that all countries except Miro will be torn to pieces!"
