Chapter 282： Shadows in the sun

While mortals are showing their self-produced robotic arms to magicians, in the far away Dothan, a huge project is proceeding to the most extreme part.

An engineer pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and was checking various data in his logbook.

Standing next to him was a general. He looked depressed at the technicians next to him, a bit like he was a lunatic.

Yes, he thinks he is a madman, because what he is doing now can definitely be described by the term madness.

"This thing is crazy." He couldn't help but finally said, "This kind of thing...is it really feasible?"

"General, this is perfectly feasible in theory! We have checked it 10 times with the latest computer, and each time has a very good result."

"You have checked it ten times? After checking it so many times, you still choose to do such crazy things?" The general looked at each other in disbelief, with shocked expressions in his eyes.

As a general, a senior general, the troops under his command can be said to be the most powerful troops in Ailan Hill.

But today, the task he wants to perform is contrary to what he is good at. What he is good at is destroying everything, but his task today is to build...

"No way, there are 3 industrial areas around here waiting for water. If we can't build this reservoir within 2 months, then there will be many problems with the construction progress of the entire industrial area." The engineer raised his head, serious. Said.

"But, we are a nuclear missile force!" The general was crying and defended: "Isn't this thing fired at someone else's house?"

"Anything, as long as it is used well, can benefit mankind! Isn't it?" The engineer sneered and laughed at himself: "At least in my hands, your weapons, as explosives for digging reservoirs, are very efficient! "

As he said, he pointed to the documents in front of him and the photos on them, and explained: "The 1 million-ton nuclear weapons dropped in Bellevue created very huge craters. But in Bellevue, The small-yield shock wave projected in the northern region also had a very good effect."

Having said that, he paused and continued to talk about his plan: "We are going to use 3 nuclear weapons to detonate at the specified location after rigorous calculations to create an artificial lake... probably, it only takes a few hours. Within time, the corresponding project can be completed!"

"You don't seem to realize that this is a nuclear weapon! It is radiation!" the general reminded depressed.

He really hates other people talking about nuclear weapons lightly. After all, for people like them, every nuclear weapon means death and destruction, and it means terrifying radiation and endless suffering.

In his opinion, humans should be in awe of this terrifying force comparable to nature. Instead of taking it out and using it at will.

In other words, he has a sacred experience of his profession: they are sharp swords hanging above the enemy, they are the cruelest existence that destroys the enemy, not children's toys or other things...

"We use large-yield shock wave bombs, and the radiation can be controlled. We have considered this. Do you have any questions?" The engineer explained patiently.

He felt that he had to let other people know his abilities, they were carefully calculated, and they were not the same as the whimsical guys who came here.

"Even a large-yield shock wave bomb will still have a small amount of radiation remaining! It is very dangerous to enter the radiation area for at least a few days." The commander of the missile force raised his eyebrows, still questioning.

"Oh, of course we have a way to deal with this." The engineer looked behind the general.

"Don't tell me, you have prepared radiation protection suits for everyone who enters the radiation area for construction! That's thousands of people!" The general asked with a sneer.

"Of course it's impossible. Radiation protective clothing is an expensive thing. Using it on such a large scale will increase the cost of the project." The engineer shook his head. Of course, he could not prepare so many expensive clothes for the construction workers.

"Then you..." The general was taken aback, then stared at the engineer. In his opinion, it is absolutely intolerable to deceive the amount of radiation and allow the workers of Ailan Hill to enter the radiation area.

But obviously, the people here have never thought about letting people from their own country venture in the radiation zone.

"Some of the prisoners we captured from the Holy Demon Empire are stubborn." Behind the two people, an officer who had not put down the telescope in his hand and had not spoken suddenly said.

Under the gaze of the general of the missile force, he put down the binoculars and turned his head, the scar on his face was clearly visible.

He was wearing a guard uniform and leather gloves, and he looked like I was a bad guy. I have to say that with his face and clothes, in the movie, you don't need to open your mouth to know that he is the villain.

However, for such a man, the Imperial Guard's military uniform was hung with the Imperial Bronze Eagle Medal on his chest. Among the ranks of medals, the Bronze Eagle Medal is already a very high medal. This represented the man in front of him who had performed at least one difficult and important task.

"According to the above meaning, this group of people will be assembled here and perform labor under our supervision! If they are lazy, we will execute the lazy people, if they are not lazy, we will execute them after the project is completed Kill everyone." The officer was very calm, as if he was not talking about a massacre.

"This is your majesty's order?" the missile officer asked subconsciously.

"No! Your majesty's order is to treat prisoners preferentially." The officer with a scar on his face replied coldly.

"Then... why don't you execute..." the officer of the missile unit asked.

"Such a trivial matter, you don't need to ask your Majesty! We, as courtiers, live to carry the shameful darkness for your Majesty, aren't we?" The officer's tone was still calm.

"We are not as glamorous as your regular army, but our loyalty to your majesty is also beyond doubt." He walked up to the general of the missile unit, sorted out the medals hanging on the general's chest, and said. Said: "Dirty work, just leave it to us."

"I understand!" The general stood up straight, and offered a standard military salute to the guard officer who was slightly lower than his rank: "Long live the Emperor! I admire your loyalty! Yes! It is my honor to work with someone like you! Allow me to express my highest respect to you!"

"Long live your majesty!" The officer with a scar on his face stood up and responded, and the Imperial Bronze Eagle Medal on his chest was shining in the sun.

"If you don't have any comments, please sign here! Water filling will begin in a week! This will be a miracle! Gentlemen! Our reservoir will be completed in a week!" The engineer smiled and handed out the documents in his hand.

After half an hour, a mushroom cloud soared up in the distance where they were, and the huge explosion made the ground shake the mountain. Everyone felt the huge shock wave and the power of destruction. .

Then, just when everyone was shocked, the second nuclear bomb exploded and the surroundings shook again. The explosive power of this nuclear bomb is almost the same as that of Bellevue's nuclear bomb, which is almost one million tons, enough to destroy a city.

Immediately afterwards, the third nuclear bomb also exploded, and the third mushroom cloud could be clearly seen in the air where the headquarters was located.

These three nuclear bombs will form a large-scale lake nearby and form a long and narrow waterway. And because it uses a low-radiation design, the nearby nuclear pollution will not be too serious. Over time, it will become a safe zone with normal radiation.

Unfortunately, some people can't wait for it to become a safe zone. They were forced to walk into this radiation area under the guns of the soldiers of Ailan Hill to perform the task of building a reservoir.

Before they came, they had already gotten a promise, as long as they built the reservoir, they could get an amnesty and leave Ailan Hill to return to their hometown. Of course, such a promise is a scam, and they are destined to never return to their hometown.

"Let the prisoners enter the construction site! Our soldiers are on the periphery! If someone is lazy and fails to complete the expected project, they will all be put to death! Change a group of captured laborers in!" Watching the mushroom cloud gradually dissipate in the distance, the guards The officer ordered to his subordinates.

"Every two hours, let these prisoners come out to rest, our people enter from another entrance to check the progress of the project! Don't let the prisoners see the inspectors wearing radiation suits, to avoid causing riots!" Everything has been planned. , Under the order of the officer, it was arranged in an orderly manner.

With the rapid development of Ailan Hill, it has long been impossible to verify how many bones were buried. Under the towering buildings, in the factory chimneys with heavy smoke, under the sleepers of the newly laid railways, and in the magnificent castle walls of the nobles, there are corpses and blood everywhere.

Of course, watered with blood, flowers bloom as beautiful; nourished with soul, the civilization built is still brilliant; with life to build, an era is still a great era.

Ailan Hill is still strong, its power is still invincible, its development is still rapid, and it is still the brightest star in this era. Because even the brightest light still cannot illuminate the darkness behind him.

But having said that, perhaps the darkest place is gestating light?
