Chapter 426: So Horrible
January 7th.
It has been 10 days since Sapiens entered a state of emergency.
Many industries within the company have now completed their status transformation.
The sealed mines have also been opened one after another to achieve maximum resource self-sufficiency and reduce the demand for external resources.
Luzon Branch.
Bohol Island.
The 15th nuclear fusion power station.
This is a small ground-furnace nuclear fusion power station, which has now been transformed into a neutron radiation plant.
300 tons of silver and various rare materials were used to create a huge superconductor, which was then used to generate a strong magnetic field. The strong magnetic field was used to bind the center of the furnace, ensuring that only neutrons could pass through the miniature neutron bomb detonated at the center.
Gao Wen, the factory manager, ordered seriously: "Start it."
"Begin injecting cobalt-59 fluid."
"Injection completed..."
"Reaction initiated..."
As the interlayer is filled with cobalt-59 fluid, the superconducting strong magnetic field is activated.
Then a miniature neutron bomb is dropped from a launcher above.
Boom! The neutron bomb with an equivalent of only 5 tons released about 13 times more high-energy neutrons than ordinary neutron bombs.
High-energy neutrons were like a rainstorm, instantly penetrating the magnetic field and the first barrier layer and rushing into the cobalt 59 fluid layer.
After a large amount of cobalt 59 was irradiated by high-energy neutrons, it mutated into cobalt 60. Of the 450 tons of cobalt 59, only about 2.6% to 2.8% was transformed into cobalt 60.
This number is not enough.
Soon the second neutron bomb was dropped.
By the time the 38th neutron bomb was detonated, 50% of the 450 tons of cobalt-59 had been converted into cobalt-60.
"Abundance reaches the standard..."
"Start the recovery system..."
"Start the waste heat recycling system..."
450 tons of the cobalt-59-cobalt-60 mixture were pumped out and loaded into specially prepared storage boxes, which were then sent to the sub-vacuum subway station and transported to Mindoro Island at an ultra-high speed of 720 kilometers per hour.
Mindoro Island.
No. 7 Radioactive Equipment Factory.
After receiving the cobalt raw materials, they quickly sent them to the production workshop, transformed the cobalt materials from fluid into solid metal rods, and then made three specifications of gamma ray radiation rods according to needs.
The plant will produce 2,000 tons of gamma-ray-cobalt rods per day.
These cobalt rods will then be sent to the 3370 factory for further processing into various gamma ray cannons or nuclear batteries.
In addition to this factory in the Luzon Branch, there are similar factories in the Honsawadi Branch, Assam Branch and Borneo Branch that produce cobalt 60, cobalt rods, gamma ray cannons and nuclear batteries.
Previously, there were only 83 gamma-ray cannons equipped, but in the next half month, the number will be increased to 250,000 to 260,000.
This is the terrifying production capacity after the Sapiens company entered a state of emergency.
Employees of the Luzon Branch have already built a large number of supporting facilities for the gamma-ray batteries on the east, west and north coasts of the Luzon Islands. Now they are just waiting for the gamma-ray cobalt rods to arrive so that they can be quickly put into service.
The deployment strategy of the External Security Division is not to distribute the troops evenly, but to focus on defense first to ensure that a regional branch can be well defended.
According to this principle, the Luzon branch needs at least 15,000 gamma-ray cannons, plus 5,000 spare gamma-ray cannons, to meet the needs of absolute defense.
Then there are other branches in Southeast Asia, which will need to deploy a total of approximately 200,000 high-gamma ray cannons and 70,000 backup gamma ray cannons.
In addition, the Ministry of Space also has preliminary plans to equip 600 gamma-ray satellites to be deployed in low-Earth orbit.
The gamma-ray cannon alone weighs at least 300 tons, and with other supporting facilities of the satellite, the weight basically reaches 450 tons.
The current Apollo launch vehicle has a near-Earth orbit payload of only about 150 tons, which is simply impossible to launch.
On the contrary, the Sky Division and the Ocean Division of the External Security Division can equip warships and airships with gamma-ray cannons.
Therefore, shipyards and airship factories are also increasing their production capacity.
Several shipyards that previously built Pacific-class battleships simply made minor adjustments to the design of the Pacific-class battleships and transformed them into laser battleships.
In addition, some of the 1,367 Malacca-class transport ships previously produced will be converted into laser battleships.
Obviously, the strategic intention of developing the Malacca-class transport ships before finally began to play a role at this time. These transport ships were originally produced according to warship standards, and they could be used as warships with just a little modification.
Those crew members have also been specially trained by the Ocean Affairs Department and can be transformed into marines at any time.
Time goes by day by day.
The state of emergency of the Homo Sapiens Company has not been lifted, and the factories have been continuously transformed into military factories or related supporting factories.
The External Security Division has successively transferred 7.26 million new human employees to strengthen the security capabilities of each branch.
At the same time, 6 naval fleets and 3 air force fleets were added.
Although the outside world is not clear about the internal situation of the Sapiens company, and cannot distinguish between Sapiens' ordinary employees and security guards, the difference between the two is only in heavy weapons, and the other facilities are similar.
Therefore, major powers around the world were forced to expand their military forces, especially the force that had a land border with Homo sapiens, which stationed hundreds of thousands of troops on the border.
This is also a last resort.
After all, they don't know what Sapiens is thinking. Although it may be a trick and bluff, if Sapiens really does it, they will definitely be crushed in one wave.
As for India, North Africa and East Africa, although the Homo sapiens launched a comprehensive operation, they did not expose themselves directly. Instead, they began to secretly prepare for the relevant work of the formal regional branches.
Especially Damo, he is now very cooperative, using external changes as an excuse to continuously increase internal military forces, increasing the size of the troops to 12 million, and also forming a large number of militias.
Through temporary conscription, groups hostile to the Homo sapiens company were secretly screened out and all controlled in special areas.
There were already a large number of Indian employees within the Zhiren Company. These employees quickly changed their appearance and, with the cooperation of Bodhidharma, transformed themselves into managers of Indian militia and middle and lower-level institutions.
India, with a population of over one billion, is actually very easy to deal with, because those lower-class people will not object to in-depth cooperation with the Homo sapiens company. Instead, they will welcome the entry of the Homo sapiens company.
Therefore, the Sapiens Company only needs to deal with the Brahmin and Kshatriya families.
With Bodhidharma, the biggest traitor, around, a large number of Brahmin and Kshatriya families were dispersed or controlled locally, in addition to the comprador groups that had been cultivated before.
In less than half a month, Tianzhu established a complete management structure for the regional branch and employees were quickly in place.
Before we knew it, it was already January 18th.
It has been 21 days since the leak.
Victor, with the reorganized Military Intelligence Agency and the cooperation of the Black Ship's Intelligence Analysis Center, has sorted out all the intelligence in the nearly three months before the Pentagon was bombed.
He frowned as he looked at the intelligence reports: " Hasn't it been found yet?"
Deputy Floyd shook his head: "There is too much intelligence. We need..."
Suddenly the office door was pushed open, and an intelligence analyst rushed in with a terrified look on his face: "Hoohoo... Director Victor! Hoohoo... I found this..."
Victor quickly took the coded translation, and the next second his eyes widened with disbelief, sudden enlightenment, and horror.
He couldn't help but swear: "Fuck!"
"What did you find?" Floyd became nervous.
"Hoo hoo... Look for yourself!" Victor quickly sat down again, his body trembling.
Floyd took the manuscript. After reading it, his face was also extremely gloomy: "Bugs? They can actually control bugs? In other words, our previous leaks..."
Victor paused for a moment and said, "I want to have a video call with the board of directors."
"OK, I'll arrange it right away." Floyd already knew that something was wrong.
