Chapter 219: Nuclear Fusion Counterstrikes
Major Camis considered the situation and agreed: far from their homeworld, with only the 1,800 crew aboard the Cat’s Ear Spaceship, there were no oversight officials to dictate otherwise. If they succeeded, they could frame the narrative however they wished.
With renewed resolve, he refocused on commanding the battle.
However, his options were limited. The violent energy cannons (VECs) were already the most powerful conventional weapons the ship carried.
It wasn’t that the Riken lacked more potent weaponry—rather, the Cat’s Ear Spaceship simply didn’t have the capacity to carry them. Bringing ten cannons was already a logistical stretch.
When they embarked, the mission’s focus had been reconnaissance, not high-intensity combat. Naturally, they had not packed many heavy weapons.
But now, even the VECs were ineffective against Godzilla. Camis was at a loss and reported the predicament to Reggie and Lute. The two looked equally grim. The treasure stood before them, unclaimed, yet they lacked the means to seize it.
“Should we try tactical nukes?” Reggie suggested. “What do you think, Lute?”
“Let’s give it a shot. The creature must have strong resistance to nuclear radiation. We can only hope the intense heat will kill it.” Lute turned to Camis.
“It’s our best chance,” Camis replied, issuing orders via his communicator.
