Chapter 419: [Dawn-2 Tactical Nuclear Bomb], Super Talent—Nuclear Physicist |
When Alpha led the team back to Dead Mine Town with over two hundred prisoners, along with a large number of vehicles, equipment, and supplies.
It was already the morning of the 64th day of the Wasteland Calendar.
All these prisoners were taken to the Dead Mine Town square and imprisoned together with the thirty-plus Dawn Consortium captives.
Quis's men had already set up several firepower blockade lines around the square.
If these prisoners made any suspicious moves, they would be killed immediately.
"Everyone, assemble!"
Following Alpha's command, the soldiers of the Pioneering Group all gathered in the square.
Although they were all stained with blood, and some were wrapped in bandages.
The mental state of each individual made everyone who saw them feel shocked and terrified.
He couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath of cold air.
What kind of troops were these exactly?
His gaze also turned to Yu Yuan standing at the front of the formation.
Just what kind of person was he, to be able to forge such a terrifying, ferocious army.
"Reporting to the Leader, the Pioneering Group has successfully completed the mission, awaiting further instructions."
Yu Yuan saluted Alpha.
"Soldiers, you are the pride of our civilization, the sharpest spear and the sturdiest shield of our civilization. Because of you, we have defeated the enemies on our path of conquest. You have done well!"
"Now, we have achieved final victory in the Battle of Dead Mine Town. Please quickly sort out the spoils and tally the Military Merits. After that, we will go home and hold the commendation ceremony!"
"For civilization, for the Leader!"
The formation disbanded, and Alpha gave Yu Yuan a separate report.
"King, this time we lost three Warriors in total, with 69 injured. The only good news is that all injuries are under control, and there are no severe disabilities. It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."
Yu Yuan deeply agreed.
He had even more direct data than what Alpha saw.
After these days of high-intensity combat, both batches of Pioneering Group members who came to Dead Mine Town this time had all obtained the [Elite Recruit] identity template.
And the number of those who obtained the [Veteran] identity template had also reached 38.
This was an unprecedented major improvement.
What was especially rare was that after several battles, these Pioneering Group members had developed quite seamless coordination with each other.
This canyon battle showed that facing enemies several times their number, they achieved the astonishing feat of only three deaths.
It was simply incredible.
"Register the names of all fallen soldiers. Their bodies are to be transported back to Green Forest City for a memorial service."
Alpha nodded slightly.
Then he handed a list to Yu Yuan.
"This is the inventory of all the supplies we captured."
Yu Yuan looked at the list.
– 4 Tanks, 7 Armed Armored Vehicles, 11 Armored Infantry Vehicles, 28 Troop Carriers....
– 49 Artillery Shells, 7 mortars....
– 5 Sniper Rifles, 11 Light Machine Guns, Assault Rifles...
.......
Yu Yuan handed the list back to Alpha.
The gains this time were indeed massive, and not just from the Reyes Legion side.
The Dawn Consortium side was the real jackpot.
He perfectly captured ten high-configuration armored vehicles, including one control Command Vehicle equipped with a drone platform, 4 cruise missiles, and 4 anti-air missiles.
Yu Yuan now possessed a genuine long-range strike weapon system.
Although these missiles were consumable items that couldn't be replenished after use, they were enough for Yu Yuan to hold out for a while.
Finally, there were 2 [Dawn Type-2 Tactical Nuclear Bombs].
– [Dawn Type-2 Tactical Nuclear Bomb]
Quality: Epic
Type: Ultra-Small Tactical Nuclear Weapon
Yield: 0.5 Kilotons TNT
Flight Range: 40~50 km
[Damage Radius]:
Core Area Radius: 70~90 meters, can vaporize all matter within the area
Severe/Heavy Damage Area Radius: Approximately 150~200 meters; Blast overpressure >20 psi, ground structures completely destroyed, heavy military equipment severely damaged, 100% personnel fatality.
Moderate Damage Area Radius: Approximately 300~400 meters; Blast overpressure 5-10 psi, brick and wood structure houses severely collapsed, exposed personnel suffer fatal third-degree burns, extremely high mortality rate.
Light Damage/Burn Area Radius: Approximately 500~600 meters; Blast overpressure 2-5 psi, building structures damaged, exposed personnel suffer second-degree burns.
Instant Nuclear Blast Radiation Area Radius: 300~400 meters
Thermal Radiation Radius: 0.8~1.2 km
Electromagnetic Pulse Radius: 0.8~1.5 km
——————————
Looking at this information, even Yu Yuan felt a tremor in his heart.
A weapon of this level actually appeared in the hands of a native faction in such an ordinary world.
Even if it was an overlord-level faction.
It was still quite terrifying.
If he had known earlier that the Dawn Consortium possessed such strategic nuclear weapons, he wouldn't have dared to oppose them even with ten times the courage!
In the face of a nuclear bomb, even this so-called ultra-small nuclear bomb, forget Dead Mine Town, even the Aurora Animal Assistance Association couldn't withstand it, okay?
Once a nuclear bomb drops, regardless of what faction you are or what tricks you have, everything within the blast radius gets the ultimate purification spell of sharing the same fate with heaven and earth.
Yu Yuan genuinely felt a lingering fear.
"Luckily, we acted fast, and luckily the Dawn Consortium's goal here was the resources, not actually destroying this place.
Otherwise, with a place as small as Dead Mine Town, one bomb would flatten it."
However, such a weapon of mass destruction is terrifying in others' hands, but in one's own hands, it's just too satisfying.
Now with cruise missiles, anti-air missiles, plus these two ultra-small nuclear bombs.
As that Dawn Consortium prisoner said, within 40 kilometers, it would become Dead Mine Town's absolute zone of control.
As for retaliation from the Dawn Consortium, according to that person, retaliation would definitely come, but probably not in the short term.
The reasons include not only these two nuclear bombs but also the need to restart the investigation procedures for Dead Mine Town.
After all, an entire special operations squad, plus 5 research experts, disappearing without a trace.
This was no small matter.
Without sufficient certainty, the Dawn Consortium wouldn't take the risk again.
Thinking of this, Yu Yuan's gaze turned to the five researchers being held under separate guard in the square.
Compared to the two nuclear bombs.
These five unassuming individuals were his real harvest this time.
Among these five researchers, the leader named Maguire was actually one of the Dawn Consortium's core researchers and also a nuclear physicist.
Of the other four, two were his assistants, and the remaining two were geologists.
They came with the team this time specifically to investigate after hearing there might be new Uranium Ore deposits here.
"A nuclear physicist, what a coincidence, right?"
Such talent was something Yu Yuan absolutely could not let go of.
And Yu Yuan also looked at his Virtual Light Screen.
When Alpha returned to Dead Mine Town with the Pioneering Group, he had received the completion prompt for [Regional Event – Battle for Dead Mine Town].
And obtained three Civilization Item rewards.
