From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Main universe time: November 14, 1996.

Five hours after the shelter was declared evacuated.

It was a cloudy noon without direct sunlight.

At this moment, if you look down at Sana'a from the sky, you can find that 80% of the area of ​​this former desert capital has been completely razed to the ground, and the rest has become broken tiles and ruins.

In this 80% area, there are still large areas of crystallized or vitrified soil. It is obvious that the tactical weapons detonated from the air have created the current situation.

The nuclear shelter, which is 60 meters away from the surface, was not affected by the "fireball vacuum" effect produced by the explosion, so everyone including the private and the short-haired soldier survived.

At this time, the people who were hiding in the shelter were all moved to the desert in the western suburbs of Sana'a.

However, the soldiers who maintained order and delivered water and food were ARS and AECS belonging to Atlas.

The soldiers who previously used 20mm non-lethal rubber shotgun shells and wore "red-eye" breathing masks were clones without any self-awareness or logical thinking.

In fact, when the shelter was about to be breached, Ennio 004 in low-Earth orbit launched a plasma bomb with a TNT equivalent of 300,000 tons above the condensed state (the army of the underworld) pouring into the city of Sana.

The core raw material of the tactical plasma bomb is helium, which is quite rare on Earth but common on the moon.

Enio 002, who has six nuclear fusion engines and can easily reach the second cosmic speed, went to the moon in the Zero-One Universe (Tomorrow) in early 1995 to carry out the helium 3 mining mission.

After all, Atlas, which has controlled nuclear fusion technology, needs a large amount of helium and deuterium for nuclear fusion reactions. At the same time, Atlas is also using ultra-high pressure and ultra-low temperature to try to produce metallic helium.

Finally, through an environment of nearly four million times the atmospheric pressure, stable metallic helium was successfully extracted.

In order to make the metal helium plasmatized, it is necessary to heat it to a temperature of more than one million degrees in an instant. Therefore, the plasma bomb dropped on the condensed state needs to use a metal hydrogen bomb with a TNT equivalent of 2,000 tons as a fuse.

The moment the fuse ignites the metal helium, it releases a blue plasma fireball with an ultra-high temperature of about one billion degrees, and then the fireball will quickly follow the shock wave to spread around, weaken, and disappear completely.

So in terms of destructive power, the plasma bomb is absolutely the first in the tactical ranks, but in the strategic field, it can easily reach the "old and strong" hydrogen bomb with a TNT equivalent of one billion tons.

The humanoid condensed state in "The Underworld" is not afraid of plasma discharge guns, but facing a plasma fireball with a temperature of at least one billion degrees, the only outcome is "vaporization".

Atlas needs to liberate Minova in the Zero Three Universe (destruction) through precise calculations and accurate intelligence to avoid accidental injuries to human compatriots in the bombing, and also needs to send ground troops to sweep the remnants.

However, more than 30,000 compatriots including the second-class soldier and the short-haired soldier were hiding in the nuclear shelter. There was no need to send ground troops to take risks. The first choice was to let tactical weapons deal with the condensed state.

Then, Eunyo 004 airdropped twelve Tyrants equipped with ceramic armor and armed with small-caliber plasma cannons, as well as sixty clone soldiers armed with non-lethal weapons.

Within four minutes after the plasma bomb exploded;

The airdrop chambers landed at the north and west gates of the shelter respectively, and then the Tyrants were responsible for dealing with the condensed state that survived by chance, and the Tyrant pilots also issued instructions to the clone soldiers to let "them" break into the shelter.

This is why the second-class soldier who wanted to sacrifice himself and delay as much time as possible would encounter the clone soldiers first.

The main force on the transport plane in the atmosphere had taken off four hours before Eunyo 004 launched a series of airdrops and air strikes, and arrived at the western and northern suburbs of Sana City seven minutes after the explosion, and completely controlled the situation on the scene.

At the same time, the transport aircraft formation in the atmosphere also carried enough drinking water and food, so that more than 30,000 compatriots could have a good meal as soon as they were rescued.

Iceland, 8,000 kilometers away.

In the command center of the front-line base;

Standing next to the central control panel, Sui Yang learned that Atlas had completely controlled the situation in Sana City through the holographic screen that displayed various real-time dynamics and data, as well as the aerial view.

The next thing to do is to transfer 30,000 compatriots to the isolated Iceland and provide a truly safe living environment first.

During this period, Atlas staff will conduct inquiries and investigations on compatriots, enter their identities, and obtain more past and intelligence about Earth Zero Four through compatriots.

After one to two months, the free food and material supply will be cancelled, and compatriots will earn exchange coupons through labor, and gradually start the reconstruction of civilization.

Through the exploration and management of the first three universes, Atlas is very familiar with these steps.

In the next one to two months, Sui Yang also needs to locate the "driver" with condensed state, that is, the location of the nervous system that was forcibly stripped from the human body.

Since the production of condensed state requires huge energy consumption, he can use Eunyo 004 to screen out the nuclear power plants that are still working, and then send the Tyrant and the clone team armed with plasma weapons to carry out an airborne raid.

Then the condensed matter lacking the control of the nervous system will collapse on its own, and Atlas can also take the opportunity to obtain a ready-made condensed matter factory.

Only when the threat of condensed matter is completely resolved can Atlas free up more time and energy to patiently search for the remaining humans hiding in underground shelters.

As a result, the situation of Universe 04 has been basically clear.

"Father." At this time, Horus, who was standing on Sui Yang's left hand side, looked at various data and said, "This action was so fast that the ground troops had no sense of participation."

"A sense of participation?" Sui Yang's peripheral vision glanced at Horus and Magnus, who remained silent, and warned: "In the future, you will ultimately be responsible for the operations and battles of one or even multiple universes. Remember , if conditions permit, long-range strike is the first choice for all solutions.”

"." Upon hearing this, the two original bodies nodded silently, seeming to be deducing the details of the operation in their minds.

Sui Yang, who also returned to silence, did not hear the cold voice in his mind.

This shows that not every universe will have offspring. Secondly, the human world in the third and fourth universes are in a doomsday state. He speculated that the threat level of the space gate may be gradually increasing, but it may not be.

However, Sui Yang has already determined that each space gate allows Atlas to absorb new technologies and materials. Therefore, after dealing with the necessary matters of Universe 04, it is time to start "reforming" human life in the main universe. .
