Aim rapidly explained the current situation as quickly as possible, "...In summary, you can understand me and this Li Risheng as projections from a higher-dimensional world here.

He wants to destroy the world and kill as many planetary inhabitants as possible, while I want to protect you.

This is an irreconcilable conflict, with no room for mediation, negotiation, or bargaining."

"..."

The participating heads of state and the high-ranking officials of various countries who were listening in all fell silent. After a moment, someone said in a low, hoarse voice, "Isn't this... treating our world like a video game?"

"You could say that."

Aim said calmly, "It's even worse than a video game.

According to my estimation, if it were a human planet completely identical to Earth, that Li Risheng might still carefully consider whether to show mercy, given that they are all humans with the same genetic sequence.

But your Mind Eater species replaced all of humanity twenty years ago.

Based on my assessment of him, he might be overjoyed and use every means at his disposal to explore the maximum range of his destructive capabilities, without caring about the survival of your insectoid civilization."

Aim's virtual projection paused for a moment. In fact, according to the internal predictions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, disaster-level powerhouses like Li Risheng, Hohenheim, the Side of Truth, and Su Ni Sheng all have the ability to destroy a city single-handedly.

They might even have several world-ending plans in hand.

Given enough time, they could effortlessly wipe out the surface buildings of major cities one by one, causing millions or even tens of millions of casualties.

"Fortunately, you have me."

Aim said quickly, "Although I am somewhat behind Li Risheng in terms of individual power,

I can say with certainty that his computer technology is far inferior to mine.

This also means that he cannot bypass my obstruction and usurp control of the world's nuclear missile launch systems.

He can only rely on his own personal power to carry out the actual operation of destroying the world."

Aim said these words with great confidence, and in fact, that was indeed the case.

The Special Incidents Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the real world has established comprehensive databases for all first and second-tier players, and these databases are updated in real-time based on external changes.

Judging from the content of the databases, Li Risheng does not possess very sophisticated skills in controlling modern computer networks on a large scale.

The electronic information technology he possesses has a large gap compared to Aim's many years (including scenario worlds) of immersion in the [Electronic Specter] form.

Although Li Risheng may have a [foolproof one-click hacker computer] bought from the Special Affairs Bureau or European heavy industry organizations, that kind of thing is only a threat to the global World Wide Web before the start of the Killing Game, and cannot break through the defenses of the Electronic Specter.

"Personal power..."

A head of state pondered, "Including that so-called [Pale World]?"

"Including it."

Aim replied, "[Pale World] is a mycelial weapon developed by Li Risheng. Judging from the practical effects on a parallel universe-like modern Earth planet, it is extremely threatening and has the potential to destroy the world.

However, under the current circumstances, that is not your primary concern."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because of time and cost."

Aim said calmly, "After being teleported over, he only has 15 hours of world-ending time to use.

[Pale World] does have the potential to destroy the world, but that requires him to expend his own power.

Spiritual power, divine power, psionic energy, and the like.

When there are these unseen powers, [Pale World] can be impervious to fire and water, expand rapidly, and even napalm bombs cannot harm it in the slightest.

But when there is no unseen power injected, the [Pale World] mycelium still has to obey the laws of physics in the real world, and will be hindered and slowed down by defoliants and other special products, greatly reducing the expansion time."

In the White House office, a mycologist from the temporarily assembled think tank raised his hand and said, "Greatly reduced? Does that mean that if we don't do anything, [Pale World] will still expand globally?"

"You can understand it that way."

The unremarkable middle-aged mycologist pushed up the glasses on his nose and said with some excitement, "So what is the mutation rate of this fungal biological weapon? In the absence of additional energy supply, what is the growth rate and growth cycle on soil, grassland, cities, deserts, oceans, clouds, and other media platforms? What is the mechanism of harm to humans? How can we ensure that our civilization can survive the fungal invasion after you leave..."

"There is no time to explain."

Aim interrupted, "Li Risheng will not fully activate [Pale World]! Because I exist!

His fungal biological weapon cannot be separated from his energy support, and my existence is an invisible lifeline!

At that time, I will hide, hide in a corner where he cannot find me.

In this way, he needs to be wary of me and cannot release energy recklessly.

Although the power gap between the two of us in a normal state is huge,

But if he consumes too much energy,

It will still give me, who has been hiding in the dark, saving energy, and waiting for an opportunity,

A chance to launch a surprise attack!"

And! This is just a small scene in the Battle of the Mandate!

Aim said silently in his heart, "The reason why the Killing Game sets up such a restricted deathmatch is to balance the strength between us.

The next battle will begin in 24 hours. Neither Li Risheng nor I will reveal our trump cards here, or spend too much spiritual power here.

He is very good at biological weapons, but neither [Pale World] nor other mycelia, fungi, or poisonous gases can spread too far in 15 hours.

Even if there is such a means, it will consume a lot of his spiritual power."

Destruction is always easier than protection, but from the perspective of consumption, the two sides are still on par—the longer the 18-hour showdown time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Li Risheng, who is actively taking action.

"In addition, you don't need to consider the problem if he releases [Pale World]."

Aim said coldly, "Just like I said, the power of [Pale World] will be greatly reduced without Li Risheng.

As for the subsequent damage...

He has the ability to destroy you, and so do I.

More than 3,000 nuclear warheads all over the world are enough to wipe out the major cities in this world.

This battle is a duel between me and him, to gain victory by manipulating you.

Do you understand?"

The faces of all the participants were extremely ugly, but Aim didn't care, "So now, let's start discussing.

In the case of not fully using the Pale World, what ways will he use to destroy the world?"

Let the think tank elites of this world provide suggestions and opinions,

This is also one of the reasons why Aim held the highest-level video conference.

"The fastest way to destroy the world, in addition to [Pale World] and usurping the authority of the nuclear missile launch system through the network, the most likely thing is to directly plunder the nuclear missiles, right?"

A think tank said first, "According to your statement, the other party can perform 500km-level teleportation maneuvers,

Shatter main battle tanks with one punch and one kick,

Shoot down supersonic cruise fighters with one shot,

Destroy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers with one finger,

Wave his hand to deprive the minds of half of the people in a small city area,

Melt the most solid underground fortifications with one palm.

Ordinary weapons and ordinary armies of the human world have no effect on him at all and will turn into a unilateral massacre.

This also means that there is no place in the world he cannot go to, and no secrets he cannot obtain.

If he finds any nuclear weapons launch platform in any country in the world, he can quickly plunder several or even dozens of nuclear bombs.

Nuclear bombs are the most effective weapon to quickly kill the insectoid population."

At present, there are three types of nuclear weapon delivery platforms in the world: land-based, sea-based, and air-based.

Land-based refers to nuclear missile silos and special missile vehicles,

Sea-based refers to warships and nuclear submarines,

Air-based refers to strategic bombers.

Due to the special nature of nuclear bombs, countries naturally want to hide the specific location of each nuclear weapon delivery platform as much as possible. For example, the United States and Russia have a large number of land-based nuclear missile silos hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

Only a few people know the location of these nuclear missile silos.

But sea-based, especially sea-based warship platforms, are difficult to hide.

"If we don't consider the more stealthy nuclear submarines, but only the surface platform.

The Russian Peter the Great cruiser, the 25,000-ton nuclear-powered missile cruiser launched in the late 1980s, is the only active aircraft-carrying nuclear-powered surface combat ship in the world. It is equipped with about 20 nuclear missiles.

Italy and India also carry ballistic missiles on destroyers.

In addition, all major nuclear powers have the behavior of carrying aircraft platform nuclear aerial bombs on aircraft carrier battle groups.

For example, the French Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier has Asmp-A developed medium-range air-to-surface nuclear cruise missiles,

The U.S. Hornet series carrier-based aircraft carries the main B83 nuclear bomb and the same B61 nuclear bomb."

An officer in military uniform said in a deep voice, "All the currently serving nuclear submarines in the world can dive underwater, turn off sonar and external communication, cut off all contact, and wait for 18 hours.

But destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers cannot do it.

They either continue to drift at sea or hide in naval bases and shipbuilding docks.

In terms of time and space, it is not enough for them to completely hide their existence.

According to your statement, that Li Risheng has the ability to instantly move over a long distance, and comes with a circle of mental force field.

Once he gets close, the crew members on the destroyer, cruiser, and aircraft carrier will lose their ability to act.

He can completely approach surface ships at ultra-high speed and control the crew on board to launch nuclear missiles."

"We detonate the ships."

Aim said coldly.

"What?"

The American officer paused suddenly, as if he didn't hear the other party's words clearly.

"We detonate the ships."

Aim said coldly, "Li Risheng's ultra-long-range instant movement is not without consumption, nor is it without a distance limit.

When he teleports to this world or makes a clear move, near-Earth orbit satellites will be able to discover his existence.

Once he tries to teleport over a long distance and approaches the direction of the ship, we will directly detonate all the nuclear missiles on that ship—this is theoretically feasible.

Whether I remotely modify the missile launch program or arrange for two ships to shoot at each other at close range, I can destroy the ship itself.

If we are lucky, we can even seriously injure Li Risheng when he approaches the ship."

The officer's eyelids twitched wildly, "Seriously injured? Not a direct death?"

Aim glanced at him coldly, and all the information about the American officer instantly appeared in his mind, "The abilities of transcendents are beyond your imagination, even nuclear bombs,

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!

must be at close range, without any precautions, and without defense, to have a chance to harm disaster-level transcendents.

If you have a defensive mentality and take defensive measures, then you must carry out broad-area saturated nuclear bombing over a very large area."

Broad-area saturated nuclear bombing is a term created by Aim himself. Considering Li Risheng's ability to teleport 500km, this sentence does not seem to be wrong.

"This is not the time to consider the lives of the soldiers on the nuclear missile ships. The meaning of the existence of soldiers is to protect the country and the people. Valuable and meaningful sacrifices are allowed."

Aim said coldly, "Also, don't put all your eggs in the basket that nuclear missile self-destruction can kill Li Risheng.

We are smart, and he will only be more cunning and alert than us.

We can think of it, and he can definitely think of it."

After listening to Aim's words, everyone was silent for a while, and then someone said, "Surface ships can use self-destruction to deter the other party from getting too close, but what about land-based ones, especially in military bases?

The United States currently has 374 overseas military bases, distributed in more than 140 countries.

871 domestic military bases, including 242 naval bases and 384 air force bases.

Many of these military bases have nuclear missile reserves and nuclear missile launch capabilities.

The most deadly thing is that the locations of these military bases are public and exposed.

If the other party skims over the United States at low altitude,

And if we carry out self-destruction to destroy it, we will destroy our own territory of the United States first."

Everyone's breathing stagnated when they heard this. The United States has too many military bases. Although many of them are built in no-man's land, the power of nuclear bomb superimposed explosions is enough to destroy...

"Ninety-five million eight hundred and thirty thousand people..."

Aim gave an estimate instantly, "The nuclear bombs in each military base explode in a superimposed manner. Because it is a ground explosion and a superimposed explosion,

The huge amount of nuclear radiation dust raised will drift with the wind and kill 95,830,000 people within 15 hours.

If we consider everyone hiding in underground shelters, the estimated number of deaths will be about 14 million."

!!!

Everyone in the video conference was stunned again, not because they were shocked by the other party's strong calculation speed, but because they were shocked by the other party's cold-blooded cruelty.

The collective explosion of all U.S. military bases will kill 95,830,000 people due to the huge amount of nuclear radiation dust raised, but this is only the amount in 15 hours! Far more people will die from nuclear radiation within a week! More than 70% of the population of the United States will die!

But Aim didn't care at all, and even openly revealed his attitude of not caring!

Many people's backs were soaked in cold sweat, but Aim was still calculating on his own, "At the cost of 14 million deaths, it is undoubtedly worthwhile to clear the nuclear arsenal within the United States.

The question is, can doing so completely prevent the other party from getting nuclear weapons..."

The result of the calculation soon appeared: no.

The effect of mental power is really too strong.

Even if they nuclear bomb themselves on the surface ships, military bases, and nuclear missile silos,

They cannot stop Li Risheng from finding the remaining nuclear warheads through mental power.

"Compared to the relatively cautious attitude of the United States on its own territory, many of the U.S. overseas military bases are relatively close to densely populated cities.

For example, the Atsugi Naval Air Station, which is stationed 35 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, the Yokosuka Naval Base, which is 50 kilometers southwest, the Jinhae Naval Base in southeastern South Korea, the Subic Bay Naval Base in the Philippines, and the Hawaii Naval Base...

The power of detonating nuclear bombs at these bases will also kill a large number of people."

The victory condition for this restricted deathmatch is that the number of deaths caused by the actions of both parties exceeds 500 million. If Li Ang is just randomly teleporting around the world and Aim is so frightened that he repeatedly detonates nuclear bombs, killing tens of millions of insectoids,

Then the one who loses first will definitely be Aim himself.

"Unless we launch the nuclear bombs into the sky."

A German think tank said, "The two countries with the most nuclear bombs in the world are the United States and Russia. Among them, the United States' triad of nuclear forces mainly consists of intercontinental ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. There are only 1,538 B61 series bunker-buster nuclear bombs.

Intercontinental ballistic missiles follow a parabolic trajectory. At the apex of the trajectory, they will go beyond the atmosphere and enter outer space in order to obtain ultra-long-range hit capabilities.

Since ballistic missiles can go beyond the atmosphere, why not just launch them into outer space? As long as the nuclear warhead detonation function is turned off, these missiles will fly out of outer space on their own and will no longer affect the Earth's environment.

As for cruise missiles..."

"Although cruise missiles mainly fly within the atmosphere, they can also be launched into outer space as long as the launch program is changed - after all, accuracy and precision are not required, as long as they fly out of the atmosphere."

Aim immediately started calculating, "Doing so can reduce more than 70% of the world's active nuclear weapons, and you don't have to consider the casualties caused by nuclear bombs detonating on the ground."

Everyone's heart rejoiced when they heard this, but before they could show a bitter smile, Aim further calculated, "The remaining 30% of active nuclear weapons, as well as the bunker-buster nuclear bombs and cores in the nuclear arsenal, have not been resolved yet.

Within the United States alone, there are more than 2,000 active nuclear warheads that do not have missile launch capabilities for the time being,

1,538 bunker-buster bombs,

5,000 plutonium cores at the Y-12 plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the Pantex plant in Texas.

There are also a considerable number of thermonuclear secondary strategic reserves in addition to these.

Moreover, during the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union deployed military bases around the world and installed nuclear missiles. After the end of the Cold War, these military bases still have many nuclear bombs remaining.

For example, the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey has about 50 B61 tactical nuclear bombs stored.

Many of these nuclear warheads are too old to be launched as nuclear missiles, cannot be detonated remotely, and there are not enough people to dismantle them, so they must be detonated manually."

The faster Aim thought, the more solemn the expression on his face became, "Launch some into outer space, use some as bait to attract Li Risheng to wait for self-destruction, and use some as weapons to deter Li Risheng.

After considering all the factors, there are still 1,000 nuclear warheads that can explode around the world, as well as the same number of nuclear bombs and pre-processed cores to be dismantled, which can be used by Li Risheng.

Or rather, they will definitely be taken away by Li Ang.

1,000, 1,000..."

Aim took a deep breath, and the brain in the Electronic Specter form quickly operated, calculating the maximum damage that 1,000 nuclear bombs of various models could cause.

In terms of lethality, the kill radius of an air-burst nuclear bomb can be divided into the following layers.

Fireball radius - The high temperature generated by the nuclear explosion in this area is enough to vaporize everything.

Blast radius - The energy generated by the explosion will destroy all surface buildings.

Radiation radius - The surface creatures within this radius will die within a few hours to a few weeks, but people who hide underground may survive.

Shock wave first area - The high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by the explosion destroys most surface buildings and trees.

Thermal radiation radius - Thermal radiation and the subsequent surge of huge amounts of gas will burn and kill the remaining lucky ones within the range.

Shock wave second area - Some buildings and people hiding in buildings may survive, but they still have to survive the subsequent nuclear radiation.

In fact, the power of a nuclear bomb is great, but not that great.

In the second area of the shock wave, there are a considerable number of survivors.

And if you can hide underground with enough thickness in advance, there is even a possibility of survival within the thermal radiation radius or even the radiation radius - provided that you wear radiation protection equipment.

One of the main nuclear warheads currently in service in the United States, the w78 nuclear warhead, has a yield of 350,000 tons.

If air-burst, the fireball area is 1.27 square kilometers,

The medium explosion damage range is 77.1 square kilometers,

The thermal radiation radius is 185 square kilometers,

The light damage range is 610 square kilometers, which looks very large, but the diameter is only 13.9 kilometers.

That is to say, if a w78 nuclear warhead is dropped on Times Square in New York, even Long Beach will not be greatly affected.

And if the largest w53 nuclear bomb in the US nuclear arsenal is dropped, with a yield of 9 million tons, the largest kill diameter is only 41.1km, which cannot reach surrounding areas such as New Haven and Allentown.

"As long as citizens hide underground, the killing effect of nuclear bombs in big cities will not be so exaggerated, and it is still within an acceptable range.

To destroy a city and cause a large number of casualties, multiple nuclear bombs must be detonated in the air continuously.

There are 22 cities in the world with a population of ten million or more,

Tokyo has a population of 38 million, New Delhi has a population of 25.7 million, Sao Paulo has a population of 21.07 million, Mumbai has a population of 21.04 million, Mexico City has a population of 21 million, and Osaka has a population of 20.24 million...

Even if you add all of these up, it is only more than 200 million people,

And to efficiently destroy a city and ensure that no population remains,

It requires about 380 large-yield nuclear bombs in total, 17 per city.

Considering that Li Risheng only has small and medium-sized nuclear bombs left, and a large number of citizens will hide in underground shelters, the number of nuclear bombs required will continue to increase..."

Aim quickly came to the calculation result, "The casualty amount of 500 million people is difficult to achieve with only a thousand nuclear bombs of various levels that are plundered.

And he is only one person. Although he has mental power, I can also use the [Electronic Specter] form to remotely interfere,

So that strategic bombers cannot fly.

This battle can be fought.

My winning rate is higher than his."
