Chapter 784: Exploding Jiang Star

In the year 6988 of the Xia calendar, Jiang Star

The continent on Jiang Star shows signs of splitting due to strong tectonic movements, with several deep rifts appearing, some just tens of meters away from the surface, where lava can be seen.

One hundred eighty world-ending nuclear weapons are placed within these rifts, with each location calculated by top demolition experts.

"Lord Lin, the nuclear weapons are installed, and the signal is clear, allowing for simultaneous detonation."

"Then let’s begin the countdown."

"Ten, nine, eight…"

Lin Guobin nodded, and he snatched the nuclear explosion button, leaving the demolition expert speechless. Such a chance to witness history was taken away. If he could have fought Lin Guobin, he would have tried to grab it back.

"Boom"

With a roar, Lin Guobin pressed the button, and the signal was instantly sent to Jiang Star.

The atomic bombs on one hundred eighty hydrogen bombs exploded first, creating a high temperature that then detonated the hydrogen bombs, resulting in a world-ending nuclear explosion with an energy of two hundred million tons.

One hundred eighty incredibly colorful fireworks bloomed from the hydrogen bombs, while the satellites released from the Space Mother Ship recorded the moment and transmitted it back to Blue Star, although it would take several years to reach Blue Star.

A scene like the sun bursting forth appeared before them. Everyone held their breath, gazing at the dazzling light, watching the mushroom cloud rise with dust and debris into the sky.

"So spectacular!"

"This is worth a lifetime."

One hundred cultivators nearly all had this thought in their hearts. To see this scene, their lives were worth it.

"Beep, beep…"

Inside the Space Mother Ship, beeping sounds continued to come in as it collected data.

"The earthquake has begun."

"The continent is starting to shift."

"It’s moving; the whole crust is beginning to move."

"The volcano has erupted again."

"The temperature of the heavy rain on Jiang Star is rising, exceeding one hundred degrees; there are too many impurities."

People began to cry out in alarm; at the moment of the nuclear explosion, the movement of the crust was triggered, followed by a terrifying earthquake. The data scanned by the Space Mother Ship showed a magnitude of no less than nine, followed by more volcanic eruptions. Even the rifts were bursting forth with magma.

"Everyone, don’t just stand there! Hurry up and collect data; prepare for the second explosion. This entire continent must be blown apart."

Lin Guobin said that they brought hundreds of nuclear weapons, and this was just the first explosion. After the earthquake and volcano, they will conduct a second or third explosion, depending on what Jiang Star looks like.

Year 6996 of the Xia calendar, Haigang City

Lin Jiang and Cao Ying were watching Lin Guobin’s team explode Jiang Star. They also saw the scene of 180 nuclear weapons exploding.

"It turns out that not only construction is beautiful; the scene of destruction is equally stunning. Tsk, it makes one feel a desire to destroy."

"This is a video from seven and a half years ago. If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Guobin’s team has already conducted a second explosion. I wonder if they blew apart the continent."

"We have tested this many times, and the problem shouldn’t be too big. If hundreds of world-ending nuclear weapons are not enough, then I wonder what would work. Anyway, with my current power, I’m afraid I can’t match the power of those world-ending weapons."

"There’s no need to sell yourself short. During this time, I talked with some people. We are not weak; it’s just that our Immortal Language level is still not high enough."

"What do you mean?"

"Don’t you think that the secret techniques we cultivators hold are very few? Even during the era of immortality, there were only about ten top-level secret techniques, and now, we only have four left."

Lin Jiang said, "Most likely, the inheritance of immortality on Blue Star comes from Xia Qingshan, and there are not many advanced things. The top-level secret techniques are too few. The Danxia Sect and other schools have vanished in the river of time, causing many secret techniques to be lost."

"What you say makes sense. Next time you see Xia Qingshan, remember to ask for more benefits."

"I know, and I still don’t know what happened to the immigrant spaceship."

Lin Jiang mentioned, "In the year 6935 of the Xia calendar, Blue Star launched a Space Mother Ship with five hundred thousand immigrants, all volunteers, including a part of the Demon Queen. It has now been flying for several decades."

"Don’t rush; it will take over a hundred more years to arrive. Genesis II hasn’t reached yet."

"If we count the time, Genesis II is also nearing its arrival. It was launched in the year 6835 of the Xia calendar, and it has been one hundred sixty-one years. It will take another thirty-nine years to reach, and Small Shadiao and others have been flying for nearly a hundred years now. Time flies so fast."

Lin Jiang sighed; he clearly remembered the launch times of several Space Mother Ships, which were every fifty years. He wondered if that interval was enough.

"Isn’t there a feeling of wanting to reach Jiang Star and grasp the overall situation?"

"Yes, but Xia Qingshan won’t let me go. As soon as our true selves board the spaceship, it will break down."

Lin Jiang said they had tried this twice before, both times wanting to escape from Blue Star, but Xia Qingshan had stopped them.

"Then we won’t go; anyway, we can’t. Let’s think about how much we really want to invest in Jiang Star."

"It’s hard to count how much has been invested already, but every year we put in no less than a trillion Huaxia coins and five billion spirit stones. The Jiang Star project is really going to drain me dry, and I don’t know when it will start to bring back benefits."

Lin Jiang said it’s impossible to count how much has been invested in the entire Jiang Star project. Just those Space Mother Ships represent a terrifying number; they are almost emptying Huaxia, with a population nearing ten billion and the number one economy in the world.

As for the benefits brought by the Jiang Star project, right now there are only some returns from the technology, which are insignificant compared to the total investment.

"Actually, I’m more worried that if we empty Blue Star without generating real benefits, it will block off the way out for the human race on Blue Star."

"That’s not the case. The plan to swap the old for the new was quite successful. Now, in the one hundred thirty-six cities of Huaxia, large spiritual energy consumption projects have been canceled. They have switched to the solar cells developed by Liang Long, which can save a lot of spirit stones. By purifying the lower-level spirit stones, we should be able to support consumption for at least several hundred years."

Lin Jiang said that the consumption of spirit stones in many cities of Huaxia is very alarming, especially for public expenses and industry, like the consumption for city defense arrays, which annually consumes massive amounts of spirit stones.

Now, solar energy has been promoted in one hundred and thirty-six cities, replacing spiritual energy, not to mention the more terrifying industrial consumption.

"How many solar panels have been laid on Venus?"

"Several hundred million acres, not just Venus, but many other planets are also being developed, including Blue Star, which is actively expanding solar energy. I plan to legislate to remove spiritual energy from Huaxia’s industrial energy."

"Can solar energy support Huaxia’s industrial consumption? As far as I know, Haigang City alone uses over a trillion kilowatt-hours of industrial electricity each year, not including residential electricity."

"Not only solar energy, but also electric energy and nuclear energy. Over the years, Huaxia has added more than three hundred large-scale nuclear power plants. We need to make a change to implement this, and the next step is to promote these technologies to other countries to save spiritual energy for the entire Blue Star."

Lin Jiang said that relying only on solar energy will definitely not work; even laying a few hundred million acres of solar panels is not enough, which is why nuclear energy and similar resources have been rapidly increasing in recent years.

"We also need to pay attention to safety issues; the Ying Continent has been holding its breath, eager to revitalize itself."

Cao Ying laughed and steered the conversation back to the Ying Continent. Lin Jiang relaxed about the Ying Continent, and it began to recover. Li Qing has been constantly shouting in the media for the Ying Continent to revive.

"They’re just a bunch of naive people; if the Ying Continent can revive, Li Qing will be my master in the future."

Lin Jiang curled his lip. With the level of Ying Continent, wanting to revive is simply a delusion. Have they forgotten who holds the rope around their necks?

"Hehe, if Li Qing breaks through the Transmigration Stage, maybe she will have a ‘fish die with the net’ idea. Huaxia now has more than a thousand nuclear power plants, tsk tsk…"

"Don’t worry, they don’t have the guts. If they do, it’s just asking for their own destruction. Send some supplies to Xia Qingshan. To be honest, Xia Qingshan hasn’t made a move on Tao Achieving cultivators globally, I even doubt he’s planning something big."

Lin Jiang said that Xia Qingshan had told him that cultivators above the Tao Achieving level are like delicacies to him. Since the recovery of spiritual energy in this world, only Lin Wanli, a Tao Achieving expert, has fallen. Is he holding back for a big move?
