"Even if this thing can absorb a nuclear blast, as long as the blast is powerful enough, it should be able to blow it up, right? I rember the Siberian Federation has a type of super hydrogen bomb called the ’Tsar Bomba’ or ’Big Ivan’? Drop that thing, and I don’t believe it can absorb it all," Sun Hang said.
"If Big Ivan were detonated at this location, the entire Tianfu City...no, most of the Shuzhou would be leveled," Song Yarong said.
"Wasn’t forty-one days allotted for evacuating the populace?" Sun Hang asked.
"Evacuate everyone from Shuzhou, abandon the city, drop the hydrogen bomb...it’s almost no different from outright forsaking the Shuzhou Region," Candle Dragon walked up behind Sun Hang and sighed, "This is a last resort. Even if we get rid of the deceitful creature, we would be left with a vast wasteland, indistinguishable from the fall of Shuzhou."
"In fact, the evacuation work has already begun being prepared, but this asure will only be used when there is no other choice," Song Yarong said. "The higher-ups still hope to preserve Shuzhou... losing it would be a severe blow to the Federation."
"So, those bigwigs sitting in their expensive chairs intend to sacrifice us to fill this thing’s appetite?" Sun Hang asked sowhat displeased.
"If sacrificing lives could pile up and kill this deceitful creature, they wouldn’t hesitate at all," Song Yarong shook her head helplessly, "However, it can’t... Even a sixty-kiloton warhead cannot harm it in the slightest, so ordinary Hunter attacks are likely just as ineffective."
"Then what is the solution?" No sooner had Sun Hang asked than Yang Qi addressed everyone present: "The only option we can currently think of is the ’Pesticide Plan.’"
"Pesticide Plan?" Sun Hang was slightly taken aback—not only him, but even the bigwigs sitting in the front row wore puzzled expressions and began whispering to each other.
"The so-called ’Pesticide Plan’ involves finding a way to tear open a gap in the ’cocoon’ of Chira 17, then injecting a specially-made ’pesticide’ into its body—"
Yang Qi had not finished speaking when soone in the audience sporting a major general rank interrupted her.
"May I ask, what is the ’special pesticide’ you’re referring to?"
"A super-large dose of ’Reverse Potion,’" Yang Qi enunciated each word.
If asked what the greatest invention of this century is, if the "Reverse Potion" is second, nothing would dare claim to be first.
If it weren’t for the successful developnt of the ’Reverse Potion,’ the Federation today would likely be filled with quarantine towns like Maoyun Town, filled with distrust between people, and the war between city-states would be on the brink... even without large-scale deceitful creature invasions, humanity would likely self-destruct in endless internal battles.
The ’Reverse Potion,’ also known as the ’Broad-spectrum Deceitful Creature Vaccine’ or ’Deceit Virus Targeted Drug,’ operates on the principle of reverse engineering fragnts that frequently appear in various deceitful creatures, producing this ’drug.’
Though called a drug, it’s closer to a ’vaccine’—this thing can’t completely eliminate s from an infected person’s body, but can thoroughly neutralize them in the initial stages of invasion into the human body, making transmissibility drastically decrease and helping human civilization hold onto the last territory of Xiazhou during the first large-scale deceitful creature invasion.
There was no shortage of ideas to weaponize the ’Reverse Potion’ to combat deceitful creatures—in fact, the ’Special Ammunition·Li Fire’ initially developed by Mr. Deng was based on this concept... But weaponizing the Reverse Potion poses several formidable technical challenges.
First, the ’Reverse Potion’ must be freshly made and used because its ’shelf life’ is extrely short, making it practically unqualified as a weapon... No one can predict when this weapon will be needed, and making it in advance would cause a massive resource waste.
Second, the ’Reverse Potion,’ although capable of neutralizing deceitful creature s, can only neutralize that specific matching part, unable to completely wipe out the creature, much like how ’Li Fire’ can deal with Bing Si 499, but is much less effective against Chira 17—it performs well as a vaccine and inhibitor but is quite limited as a ’disinfectant’ and ’special dicine.’
Third, and this is the most crucial point, the production of ’Reverse Potion’ is not high, and given the current stable Federation situation, only a few specialized factories directly under Dubhe Tower have the capability to produce it, making its usage as a weapon sowhat extravagant.
"Reverse Potion... how do you plan to implent this plan?" Possibly maintaining a hopeful response to a desperate situation, the major general did not outright dismiss Yang Qi’s plan, which seed to have a low success rate, and continued to ask.
"Firstly, I need a team of elite Hunters to approach Chira 17 and obtain its fragnts as completely as possible. Secondly, I require a team with sufficient experience in reverse engineering to conduct reverse engineering on Chira 17’s s. Additionally, after the ’pesticide’ is fabricated, we’ll need to find a way to break through Chira 17’s protective shell, specifically the white giant cocoon, to inject the ’pesticide’ into its core... While this may not kill it directly, it will utterly destabilize its s—finally, we will conduct a saturated bombardnt with heavy fire to exterminate it!" Yang Qi spoke quickly yet articulated clearly.
"What do you think is the success rate of this plan?" another leader asked.
"Fifty percent," Yang Qi replied with determination in her eyes, "It either works or it doesn’t."
"As long as the success rate isn’t zero, there’s value in attempting it," the major general who questioned earlier said. "But what I’m more concerned about is ti... will forty-one days be enough to complete the steps you described?"
"We contacted the top team responsible for reverse engineering at Dubhe Tower, and besides them, Mr. Deng Yi’s team will also rush to Tianfu City overnight—these two groups are arguably the most experienced in reverse engineering among all of humanity." Yang Qi said, "They have inford that given the complexity of Chira 17’s s, completing one hundred percent of the reverse engineering could take more than ten years, but achieving seventy percent in a month is sufficient!"
"A month ans we only have eleven days to complete the sampling and inject the ’pesticide’," the major general spoke gravely, "Moreover, the injection step must be executed after reverse engineering is completed—are you sure we can breach Chira 17’s ’cocoon’ by then?"
"Regarding this... I choose to believe in our Hunters," Yang Qi lifted her head, her gaze passing over everyone in the eting room, finally resting on Sun Hang.
Many sitting in the front row also turned their heads, looking at Sun Hang.
"I suggest you not place too high expectations on ," Sun Hang made a wry face, "You don’t imagine... that my attack strength can match a sixty-kiloton nuclear weapon, do you?"
"Not just you—many Hunters will co to Tianfu City to support... you don’t need to completely destroy Chira 17’s cocoon, you only need to tear a small gap on this ’cocoon’, a gap sufficient to let the ’pesticide’ in, and that will be enough!" Yang Qi said.
