The solar system, Pluto.

After the solar system enters the stage of large-scale development, if there is any place where human footprints have not yet set foot, it is this dark star field located on the edge of the solar system.

It is not to say that it is too far away from the earth. In fact, the earth ’s most advanced military engine technology has been updated to the 18th generation as fast as possible. If the cost is not included, the conventional cruising speed in the solar system is close to 1% of the speed of light. The journey time to Pluto has been compressed to an amazing month.

However, it belongs to the special high-risk experimental base of the "Cloud Research Institute", so within a range of tens of millions of kilometers around Pluto, it belongs to the "military restricted zone".

As the solar system gradually prospered, and there were space shuttle ships just launched in the waterway, many high-risk laboratories of the Cloud Research Institute had to be transferred from the "central" of the solar system to the "suburban".

Fortunately, remote robot technology is not affected. For scientists, it is just a different physical address to log in.

However, on the whole earth, only a few dozen people, such as Yu Lao, who have the highest scientific research authority, are eligible to land in this dark place where the sun looks dim.

And at this moment, in a huge crater of Pluto ...

"The countdown of the first test explosion of Hades i-type planet destruction bomb is ready, please evacuate the personnel of all units as soon as possible, and those who are stuck should check their pain adjustment last time ..."

"Preparation is complete, the countdown starts! 10, 9, 8, 7 ..."

"Boom!" At the moment when the countdown ended, an extremely dazzling light burst into the crater and rushed to the sky!

The huge spherical shock wave swept across, slowly spreading to the small half of the sphere, the earth cracked and vibrated, the underground magma spewed out, the dust covered the sky, the scene was terrifying!

It was not until half an hour later that the violent quake of the entire planet slowly disappeared, but from time to time aftershocks came, showing that the geological changes inside the planet did not completely disappear.

At the core of the explosion, the original small crater has been expanded into a huge basin. The spouting underground magma is slowly turning it into a magma lake, but then quickly cooled in a vacuum and low temperature environment.

Looking down from the universe, the dark red magma gleamed like a "demon eye" opened on Pluto.

In Pluto's high-altitude orbit, a small observation platform is floating above the explosion point. On the platform, several small robots are pointing at the terrifying sight below.

"Evaluate the explosion data and confirm that the level 5 armored target 500 kilometers away is completely smashed, the level 3 armor 2 kilometers ablated 1000 kilometers away, and the simulated biological level 3 burns 1500 kilometers away."

"Under the vacuum environment, the destruction degree of the planet's surface is 8.79%, and the atmospheric environment destruction model is established. It is expected that the simulation results will be completed in 10 minutes ..."

"The three scientific research bases on the back of the planet were affected by explosion shocks and were damaged to varying degrees. The loss report has been automatically generated and the repair is expected to take 10 hours ..."

"..."

Looking at Pluto, who was awakened from a deep sleep, "trembling", scientist Carl, who had just joined the Cloud Research Institute, could not help but swallow.

Karl, 63 years old, was born in a Jewish family, 13 years old international Olympic physics gold medal, 14 years old skipped middle school to enter MIT, 16 years old worked in NASA engaged in astrophysics research, belongs to the S-level key protection scientist in the United States.

After being born, Captain Ghost published high-level basic scientific research papers such as "Theory and Data Analysis of Weak Gravity Lens" and "Conjecture of Wormhole Formation and Expansion Model" in the virtual world of the technology tree, which immediately received the attention of the Cloud Research Institute. .

It is important to know that they also obtained Nie Yun ’s first-hand information not long ago, confirming that under extreme charging conditions, the wormhole has expandable characteristics.

This theory obtained from Gemini has also been a great success in "Operation Tide" and destroyed a wormhole charging device of the Locke Consortium, and has been factually verified!

After the brain analysis and analysis, the Cloud Research Institute finally decided to list Karl as the target of recruitment, and fill up eighteen bachelors!

As one of the most important departments under his leadership, the Cloud Research Institute recruits new people, and Nie Yun naturally wants to personally review it.

Karl's ability and resume are impeccable. The forward-looking and professionalism of the wormhole model is indeed the talent that Nie Yun badly needs. As for loyalty ... well, this is a small problem!

With a big wave, the eighteenth bachelor reserve officially joined, and today's Pluto explosion experiment is the first time Karl has participated in the high-end research of the Cloud Research Institute as an assistant "intern".

"Yu Lao, is it really okay for us to destroy Pluto in this way?" Karl asked with a look of fear in his face.

"Hehe! It's not Earth here, and it doesn't have much development value. The boss said, even if Pluto is taken apart!" Yu Lao said with a smile.

It ’s okay to take it apart? !

This is the ninth planet of the solar system, is it considered to destroy the intangible cultural heritage?

Although the name of Pluto ’s ninth planet is not true, it was classified as a dwarf planet in 2006, and its size is not even as large as the moon, but this ca n’t obscure the fact that it is an “overstar”.

If someone knows that he and others are doing destructive experiments on Pluto, will some environmentalists jump out and condemn themselves?

Putting aside the weird thoughts in his mind, Carl looked back at the Pluto explosion center.

The Hades I-type planet destroyer is said to be one of the sub-projects of the Cloud Research Institute's "Pluto Project". The purpose is to use the high-energy characteristics of the energy crystal to create a small, easy-to-carry ship-to-planet weapon to give the enemy "Nuclear Deterrence" level of deterrence!

From the perspective of the explosion effect, the power is equivalent to 10 billion tons of TNT equivalent, and the destructive power of the explosion in a vacuum environment will be considerably weakened, but if it is in the atmospheric environment ... that is definitely the end of the world. Horrible ecological disaster!

The experiment-related data flow in Karl's eyes slowly passed, from the design drawings to the design principles, various drawings and parameters were presented in front of Carl's eyes without reservation.

He has made huge waves in his heart. Although it has long been rumored that the Cloud Research Institute's series of research projects are all the world's top S-level scientific research projects, Carl is still a little unbelievable when he has just joined and can access such confidential information.

Especially for him, who is on a secret mission ...

"Mr. Carl, you are one of the top scientists in the United States. The current contribution of the science and technology tree is among the best in the world. After evaluation, Captain Ghost ’s cloud research has a certain chance to hand you an olive branch. Therefore, for the sake of the national interest, we hope that by then, you Can bring back some key information for us ... "

A month ago, the intelligence agency's words were still in my ears. He looked at the information in front of him and was deeply entangled.

Since the high-energy physics expert Lawrence was absorbed by the cloud research institute, everyone knows that the mysterious cloud research institute is not completely closed, they also need to absorb fresh blood.

This incident caused a sensation in the scientific community all over the world. Everyone who broke their heads wanted to enter this dream of scientific paradise.

The ultra-high unlimited monthly salary in units of tens of thousands, perhaps those top scientists who regard money as dung can not be ignored, but top scientific research projects and the legendary "internal employee benefits" are what make them rush Really tempting!

To this end, the World Survey Organization also used Lawrence as the research object, collected the data of scientists from all over the world, and published a "cloud reserve" ranking list, listing all the top scientists who may be recruited.

And Karl, ranked 17th on this list.

Fame brought him the attention of the outside world and brought him unexpected troubles ...

Obviously, the information in his hands is absolutely sufficient for "key information". Even if he can only memorize one percent of the content, his country can get a huge theoretical breakthrough in a short time.

But myself ... can I really do this?

Looking at the miserable look of Pluto, Carl's heart suddenly grabbed.

Before 1961, the Soviet Union detonated the "Tsar" on the Arctic Xindi Island. The equivalent reached 50 million tons, which caused a regional ecological disaster. It almost caused a catastrophe and affected many European countries.

If a bomb of 10 billion tons equivalent was really made ... even if the meteorite that is not as powerful as the dinosaur is enough to destroy humans, is it enough?

"Hades i type, raw materials are not expensive, 10 kilograms of energy crystal, plus a precision trigger, that is, manufacturing precision requirements are high, the cost is low, and the power is strong. What do you think of this thing?"

While looking at the experimental data, Yu Lao asked casually.

Carl: "..."

Low cost and strong power?

As a top scientist, Carl clearly realized that the higher the degree of scientific development, the higher the human organizational structure and moral standards!

Without absolute control of force, without a stable and unified internal environment, the emergence of every super weapon is likely to mean the beginning of human self-destruction ...

A human world that cannot control the fruits of scientific research is likely to turn technology that could benefit one side into a "Pandora box" that will bring all humanity to hell.

So, can you really trust this kind of thing?
