Chapter 331 Methods

At this moment in Beiping, Kyushu, a very simple room is filled with old men sitting around the conference table.

They were discussing the events that had been reported earlier, which had occurred in space. No one had expected that, under such circumstances, someone would actually dare to defy the world and take the initiative to use nuclear weapons.

Furthermore, the target of this nuclear weapon is a crucial link in Kyushu's future access to the universe. Regardless of who used the nuclear weapon, their primary objective is to curb Kyushu's development in space.

However, those who used nuclear weapons never anticipated that Kyushu's spaceplanes would be so powerful that even a nuclear explosion wouldn't have much of an impact.

Actually, the US side's thinking was quite simple. They were thinking that since they were using nuclear bombs, no matter how small the yield was, the power was still there. So they never considered that the spaceplane flying in space in Kyushu could actually withstand a nuclear explosion.

Although they chose space as their location, due to the environmental factors in space, explosions in space do not have shockwaves or other effects, but the high temperature and electromagnetic waves of a nuclear explosion are still present.

But that spaceplane really did hold out, and their nuclear bombs didn't have much of an effect on it. This result made them all feel like they'd been screwed over; it really felt unreal.

An old man in the room was the first to speak.

"As you all probably know, let's discuss what to do. If we don't react this time, I reckon the other countries will still think we're easy to bully!"

After the big boss finished speaking, all the old men in the room looked extremely solemn. This matter was really not easy to handle, because if it was not handled well, then the third war would immediately break out.

It's estimated that Kyushu and Russia will cooperate to fight against the treacherous organization led by the United States, so it's going to be quite difficult.

Many old men pondered, and the scene fell silent for a while. After more than ten minutes, the military leaders present finally made up their minds and, faced with such a quiet scene, spoke first.

"Comrades, I think this time our attitude should be firm, not like before, letting things slide. Although we are seeking development and don't want our hard-won Kyushu to be harmed, we in Kyushu are not afraid of trouble!"

As soon as the military leader spoke, everyone looked at the person sitting at the head of the table, wanting to see his attitude. The room went from being quiet to being very noisy, and the old men below were also chatting in twos and threes.

After some discussion, Kyushu decided on its approach to the matter: it would handle the incident with an extremely strict and forceful attitude.

"Since everyone agrees that we should take a firm stance, let's think about specific countermeasures!"

The bigwigs raised their questions again, and everyone's eyes were now on the military leader. After all, he was the person in charge of the military, and if they were to confront him head-on, the military would be the first to take a stand.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the military leader only thought for a few seconds before answering the question!

"Everyone, my idea is actually quite simple. Since someone is baring their teeth at us, we should scare them into shutting their mouths!"

My thinking was this: since someone is using nuclear bombs to attack our spaceplanes in space, why can't we retaliate with nuclear weapons? We…”

Before he could finish speaking, one of the old men in the room couldn't contain himself and interrupted him anxiously, asking a question.

"What are you planning, you restless old man? Are you planning a nuclear war? That could really trigger World War III!"

The military leader, interrupted by his old buddy, showed no annoyance at being interrupted. Instead, he smiled broadly, took a sip of water, and then continued speaking.

"Haha, don't be nervous. I did say we would use nuclear weapons, but I didn't say where. Since they can use nuclear weapons in space, we can use them in space too. In fact, I propose sending our most powerful hydrogen bomb up there and letting it explode in space!"

After the explosion, we will announce to the outside world the number of nuclear weapons we currently possess, and we will broadcast the entire nuclear explosion live, so that we can demonstrate our ability to nuclearly destroy the entire Earth.

If we show our Kyushu's attitude of daring to drag the world toward destruction, I don't believe they won't be afraid.

Honestly, the energy shield technology we have now is really amazing, and right now there are ten solar core fusion energy cores in Lop Nur.

With this core, we in Kyushu have absolutely no fear of nuclear weapons; we can completely block nuclear explosions with energy shields.

Our strength is absolutely unmatched, which is the key reason why I dared to propose such an idea!

The room became increasingly lively. None of these people had expected that the strength of Kyushu had become so formidable that they were not even afraid of nuclear explosions.

After the military leader's speech, everyone's hearts were immediately set on something. None of them wanted to be subservient. Since they could be tough and had the confidence to be tough, then they would be tough.

The military leader's opinion was agreed upon by all the old men, and they all wore confident smiles.

"Now that we have a countermeasure for things in space, let's talk about how to deal with that broken bowl!"

Since they dare to challenge us and claim responsibility for events in space, we can't let them down, can we?

Although we all know that nuclear explosions in space have nothing to do with Broken Bowl, since Broken Bowl has made this statement, we'll grant their wish.

Now everyone, tell me, how do we fix this broken bowl?

Subsequently, the experts offered a multitude of solutions, among which the most constructive advice still came from the military leader.

They all agreed with the opinions put forward by the military leaders, and after these two resolutions were made, the meeting of the old men came to an end.

As for how to fabricate that broken bowl, it's actually quite simple. After the meeting, Kyushu's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement, and it was this statement that showed the world Kyushu's attitude this time.

[Statement from the Kyushu Foreign Affairs Department regarding the matter of Broken Bowl: Kyushu will impose the highest level of sanctions on Broken Bowl.]

1. Blockade its maritime cargo ships; any ships heading to Broken Bowl shall not be allowed to enter its country.

Second, block all its air routes. Any aircraft flying towards the broken bowl, whether military or civilian, shall not be allowed to enter.

From the date this statement was issued, Broken Bowl has been unilaterally and completely blocked by Kyushu!

The reaction to this statement was beyond anyone's imagination; the whole world was in an uproar. This was an attitude that Kyushu, this behemoth, had never shown before.

The people who find it most unacceptable are not other countries, but the parties involved. They did not expect that this was just a routine procedure. They claimed to be in charge, but they never anticipated that this situation would occur.

They were actually subjected to a unilateral blockade by Kyushu, a treatment they had never received before, but after a moment's thought, they didn't take it to heart.

Because they are located in Europe, not Asia, and they don't share a border with Kyushu, Kyushu's statement is a joke to them, especially since they have the support of the United States! So they don't feel any tension at all.

While they were floating in the spaceplane, Snow Owl and the others were wondering when they would receive the order to return. Just as they were thinking this, the order was received.

The spaceplane's energy shield was fully activated, and it once again approached Earth's orbit, pinpointing Kyushu's location before descending towards it.

The plane was very fast, passing through the Earth's atmosphere with ease. In just over ten minutes, the plane landed at a designated parking spot at the Jiuquan base. Then, a large number of people came to the plane to begin unloading the lunar soil.

Snow Owl and his group were invited to the commander's office, where the commander gave them a very incomprehensible order: after unloading the cargo, they were to immediately fly off Earth and then fly over Broken Bowl to carry out a complete blockade mission.

As for the timeline of this mission, they will not begin the next phase of the mission until the nuclear explosion experiment in space is ready. That is, to take reporters and cameramen from Kyushu News to outer space to conduct a live broadcast of the nuclear explosion experiment.

This seemingly absurd task was actually given to them, and the order was given by a military leader, so there was no question of lying.

Although it seemed incredible to them, they actually received the mission.

The lunar soil was unloaded from the plane, and then the cargo hold was busily being filled with other things. The most outrageous thing was that a small RV was loaded directly into the cargo hold.

In addition to the RV, there were supplies for the five of them to live in for three months. Apart from fresh vegetables being relatively scarce, everything else was readily available, and they even brought a lot of drinks and juices.

In short, we will do our best to ensure that the five of them have a good time in heaven during this month.

The spaceplane was resting in Jiuquan, and the five pilots, including Snow Owl, were also resting. Li Zhenhua from Shuzhen was at home, sleeping with Li Yun's soft body in his arms.

Unbeknownst to him, the military strength around Shuzhen had increased again, and the entire Kyushu region was monitoring his safety and the surrounding environment more closely, all in preparation for any eventuality.

At this point, nuclear attacks have occurred in space. It's inevitable that some people might be desperate and try to kill Li Zhenhua. Therefore, the people of Kyushu have spent a lot of time and energy to ensure his safety.

Furthermore, the military has upgraded the security system of the Nine Provinces Divine Beast, doubling the number of security personnel. Even so, they are still not at ease, so an entire battalion has been shoved into the heavily guarded graphene manufacturing plant next to the Nine Provinces Divine Beast.

The security forces surrounding Li Zhenhua, if deployed in Africa, could easily penetrate many African countries.

Li Zhenhua himself was unaware of these troop increases, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared, as he had become accustomed to such increases in security measures.

Early the next morning, Li Zhenhua, as usual, went to his workshop to continue manufacturing his Super Raptor modified car.

Meanwhile, on the runway at the Jiuquan base, the spaceplane was ready to launch. Everyone present was dreaming of going on a trip to space with the spaceplane, but this idea was clearly wishful thinking!

After resting, the snowy owls and their crew boarded the plane at daybreak and waited for orders. Once they received permission, the plane took off vertically into space.

The rest of the world is watching to see what Kyushu will do today, especially after the announcement yesterday. They don't believe Kyushu won't take any action.

As expected, those who had been waiting to hear the juicy gossip since early morning or even all night were indeed treated to some big news.

The unreasonable spaceplane from Kyushu took off early in the morning and soared straight into space, while they were still wondering what mission it would carry out.

Then we saw that the spaceplane, which had just taken off into space, did not stay in space, but turned around and flew back towards Earth.

Under the watchful eyes of all nations, Kyushu's spaceplane hovered fifty kilometers above the broken bowl.

What does 50 kilometers mean? It means 50,000 meters above sea level, which is the middle layer of the atmosphere. Currently, only a handful of aircraft can reach 50,000 meters.

Kyushu's actions completely shocked the nations; no one expected Kyushu to do this.

Although they didn't know why Kyushu had sent this plane over, the sight of a plane hovering over the head of the broken bowl was truly terrifying.

At this moment, they also thought of the statement issued by Kyushu earlier, which said that it was a unilateral blockade of Broken Bowl. It seems that the blockade of Kyushu started with this spaceplane.

Just after the spaceplane arrived, Kyushu's monitoring and synchronization satellites in space moved and came to the sky above the broken bowl, with the purpose of providing the spaceplane with a target to drive away.

The spaceplane's work today is destined to be busy, because as soon as they arrived, they received intelligence from their own satellites.

A roll-on/roll-off ship was heading towards Broken Bowl in the Mediterranean Sea. The spaceplane immediately took off, and its speed was controlled by Snowy Owl at Mach 12. It flew straight from an altitude of 50,000 meters to hover a hundred meters above the cargo ship.

Then, the makeshift loudspeaker on the plane began broadcasting a message to the cargo ship from the United States, which was flying below.

"Listen up, ships below! Broken Bowl has been blockaded by Kyushu. Turn around immediately, your path is blocked..."

These words were shouted in English, and almost everyone on the ship could understand them, so they were all stunned. Of course, they didn't take the warning seriously, and the ship continued to move closer to the broken bowl under their control.

After the announcement was broadcast several more times over the loudspeaker on the plane, the ship ignored it and continued heading toward the broken bowl.

In this situation, the aircraft had no choice but to use its weapons. Subsequently, a small circular hole appeared in the belly of the aircraft, and a gun barrel protruded from it.

Then, the energy gun barrel, which was one unit of golden crow particles, began to emit a faint red glow...
