Chapter 193: Northern Water Master (1)
The development and testing of the nuclear bomb proceeded without issue. This world had many desertified wastelands that were perfect for nuclear tests.
There were no concerns about radiation poisoning the population. From the start, the bomb wasn’t based on nuclear fission but on nuclear fusion.
The fact that the first application of cold fusion wasn’t in a power plant but in a bomb would likely make Earth’s scientists faint. But there was never any intention of making cold fusion publicly available.
"In a world where superpowers exist..."
In a place where a homeless beggar might actually be a teleportation user who could cross space at will, revealing certain technologies was an unnecessary risk.
Perhaps in the future, I could build a power plant run entirely by AI under my absolute control. But even then, nuclear fusion was an outdated technology for energy production—I probably wouldn’t ever need it.
And so—
"—The nuclear bomb is complete."
I gazed at the steel object before me, a mere few dozen kilograms in weight. No one in this world could comprehend that this small chunk of metal contained the power to annihilate mass hundreds of thousands of times its own.
Looking at the news and internet discussions, the world still believed Evilus Corporation had built some city-sized machine to cause earthquakes. No one even considered the possibility that humanity could control the power of the sun.
No one except for one person.
"Come. You’ll come, won’t you? There’s no way you can resist."
