Brother, just how powerful is our family?

Qin Yao paused for a moment, then continued, "The coordinates of the launch target have been released; they are all in international waters off the US coastline. This is just a routine missile test launch and is not directed against any country, so please do not panic."

These words were spoken casually, but their content stunned everyone.

Test-firing an intercontinental ballistic missile off the coast of the United States? And not targeting any country? This is blatant provocation!

The barrage of comments exploded instantly:

"Brother Feng is awesome! He test-fired a missile right on America's doorstep!"

"This means they're going to fight the US to the bitter end!"

"The US aircraft carrier is still out there; could this trigger a war?"

"What are you afraid of? If Brother Feng dares to do it, he must be confident!"

"Just waiting to see what happens!"

Military and intelligence agencies around the world were also watching the live broadcast. When the coordinates were announced, there was an uproar at the Pentagon.

"Has he gone mad?! Test-firing an intercontinental ballistic missile off our coastline?!"

"This is a declaration of war! A blatant declaration of war!"

"Immediately order the fleet to battle readiness!"

"Wait... let's see what they're up to first..."

The live stream showed that launch preparations were complete. The operators, all cyborgs in uniform, moved with precision and efficiency. The countdown began: ten, nine, eight...

When the countdown reached zero, the three missiles ignited almost simultaneously.

A huge flame erupted from the tail, and thick smoke instantly enveloped the entire launch site.

The missiles slowly ascended into the air, their speed increasing until they quickly became three bright spots in the sky.

The live stream switched to a space perspective—images taken by a satellite from the Universal Group.

Three missiles entered the atmosphere and began complex trajectory-changing maneuvers.

Their flight trajectories are extremely unpredictable, sometimes accelerating, sometimes decelerating, and sometimes changing direction drastically, completely defying the flight patterns of conventional ballistic missiles.

"What...what kind of trajectory is this?"

"Even more complex than Qian Xuesen's ballistic trajectory!"

"How can we intercept that? Its trajectory is completely unpredictable!"

"Damn it... what if these missiles are loaded with nuclear warheads..."

Military forces around the world are anxiously tracking the missile's trajectory.

But soon, they discovered a terrible fact: the missile disappeared from radar after entering mid-course flight.

It wasn't interference, it wasn't invisibility, it was... vanished. As if it had never existed at all.

"Impossible..." The commander of the U.S. Northern Command stared at the blank radar screen. "Where are our early warning satellites? Where are our infrared detectors?"

"All targets lost, sir." The technical officer was pale. "The missiles... seem to have entered some kind of undetectable state."

Fifteen minutes later, the missiles reappeared on the radar. They had reached their designated targets and crashed into the sea almost simultaneously at three points off the east and west coasts of the United States and off the coast of Mexico, creating huge splashes.

The entire process, from launch to impact, took less than twenty minutes.

The US missile defense system failed to respond effectively from beginning to end.

This means that if these missiles were equipped with nuclear warheads, three major U.S. cities would likely be in ruins by now.

Inside the Hexagon, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone understood what this meant: the Universal Group not only possessed intercontinental ballistic missiles, but also penetration technology that was completely uninterceptable.

These missiles are like nothing to the United States, which has the most advanced missile defense system.

"The first darling has been showcased." Qin Yao's voice rang out again in the live stream, "Next up is the second one."

The scene shifts to an airport. Four B-1B Lancer strategic bombers are taxiing on the runway, their bomb bays open, each carrying a uniquely shaped bomb.

"Is this... a nuclear bomb?" one viewer speculated.

"Looking at its shape, it looks a bit like a small nuclear warhead."

"Is the Universal Corporation going to test-fire a nuclear missile?!"

Qin Yao confirmed this speculation: "Next, we will conduct a nuclear test in a designated no-man's-land on the Black Continent. Please rest assured, the test is not targeted at anyone; it is simply a routine procedure."

This was said in a more understated way, but the content was even more astonishing.

A private corporation is going to conduct a nuclear test? That's unheard of!

The bomber took off, and the live broadcast switched to the cockpit view.

The pilot, who is actually a cyborg, is operating the aircraft, and everything is in perfect order.

"Target area reached."

"Prepare to drop bombs."

"Three, two, one... Drop the bomb."

A bomb fell from the bomb bay, deployed its parachute in mid-air, and slowly descended.

As the live stream camera zoomed out, a desolate desert stretched out below, with no sign of human habitation for hundreds of kilometers around.

This is the experimental zone designated in advance by the Universal Group.

The bomb detonated at a height of 300 meters above the ground.

There is no sound because the live stream has a delay, and the sound has been processed.

But the visuals were stunning: first, there was an extremely bright sphere of light that instantly illuminated the entire screen, and even through the lens, you could feel the earth-shattering energy.

The sphere of light rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive fireball. The fireball rose, forming the stem of a mushroom cloud.

Then came the mushroom cloud's head, tumbling and rising higher and higher...

Ultimately, the mushroom cloud reached a height of tens of thousands of meters, with the cloud cluster at the top spreading out to form a huge radioactive cloud.

This was the first nuclear explosion ever conducted on the continent of Africa in human history.

The nuclear test was not carried out by a single country, but by a private group.

There was a brief silence in the live stream chat. Everyone was stunned by this shocking scene.

Then, the barrage of comments surged in like a tsunami:

"My God...it really is a nuclear bomb!"

"The Universal Group even has nuclear weapons?!"

"This is no longer a private armed force, this is...this is a quasi-state actor!"

"Would the US dare to attack? They have nuclear weapons!"

"This is going to be interesting..."

Governments around the world reacted even more strongly.

Dragon Kingdom, Zhongbeihai.

"What exactly is Qin Feng trying to do?" A big shot frowned.

"He's flexing his muscles," the military representative said. "He's telling the world, especially the United States: I have intercontinental ballistic missiles, I have nuclear weapons, don't mess with me."

"Did we provide that technology?"

"No." The head of the intelligence department shook his head. "We've investigated. All of Qin Feng's technology and equipment have nothing to do with us. He developed them entirely independently."

"How is this possible? Two years..."

"We don't understand it either, but that's the reality," the person in charge said with a wry smile. "And judging from this demonstration, his skill level may have... surpassed ours."

Silence fell over the meeting room.
