Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Chapter 515: 514, Disaster_1
 

Two thousand nuclear bombs exploding simultaneously wasn’t a big deal for the entire Blue Star.

Huaxia’s chosen nuclear bombs were on average around one million tons in yield. Combined, the two thousand bombs totalled two billion tons.

If you compare it to the energy released by the Earth’s crust during an earthquake, an 8.0 magnitude quake has a yield of approximately 1.1 billion tons, while an 8.5 magnitude quake is around 6.2 billion tons.

In other words, over two thousand nuclear explosions were equivalent to humans actively triggering a magnitude 8.1 earthquake on the surface of Blue Star.

Over countless eons, Blue Star had experienced 9.0 (with a yield of 35 billion tons) and even 9.5 magnitude earthquakes. A magnitude 8.1 quake was merely a scratch, a minor issue.

However, for mankind, it was a tremendous disaster, especially for Goryeo and Japan, their proximity to the epicentre was alarming.

These two countries were too close to the source of the tremors!

The epicentre was only 80 kilometers away from Busan and merely 170 kilometers from Japan, such a level of nuclear explosion was utterly disastrous!

The grandmasters spread out after flying 20 kilometers into the sky in a semi-circle around the nuclear explosion center, each using their respective magical powers to block the shockwave caused by the nuclear explosion.

Liu Che was at the height of his magical power, he took the initiative to carry the heaviest burden, creating a spiritual energy barrier wall in the path of the nuclear explosion.

Other grandmasters also joined in, each displaying their unique skills.

Some used the Map of Mountains and Seas to construct barriers; others employed mirror-like magical treasures to reconstruct a world of their own while Tina relied on her ancestral water spells to create a palace made entirely of water, sealing the chaotic spiritual energy completely inside.

Every grandmaster was making their utmost effort to neutralize the nuclear shockwave.

Soon after, Cat Morning Star also arrived at the scene.

With her, the pinnacle of Sanctuary, joining in, the barrier constructed by the grandmasters became more solid, blocking most of the shockwave from passing through.

…

However, although the grandmasters managed to block the shockwave caused by the nuclear explosion, other disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis still occurred.

The seismic resistance levels of buildings in Japan and Goryeo were generally only at levels 6-7. Faced with an 8.1 magnitude earthquake that was twenty times more powerful than a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, they simply couldn’t hold up.

In Goryeo’s Busan, Changwon, Daegu… In Japan’s Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Okayama…

One after another, buildings collapsed like dominoes, cities were consumed by dust, and everywhere you could hear the screams, cries, and helpless wails of the victims.

The people of Japan had just been ravaged by terrifying monsters, millions dead. Now they had to face this strong quake and towering tsunami, it was truly a case of misfortune never coming alone.

Goryeo fared slightly better as they had moved the population of major southeastern coastal cities such as Busan into the inland areas. So while the buildings had fallen, the people were still alive.

But it was fortunate that they evacuated swiftly, otherwise, who knows how many would have died this time.

…

In Goryeo’s capital, Seoul.

Players were watching the footage of the massive nuclear explosion transmitted via satellite signals on the big screen, utterly stunned and speechless.

The transmission speed of the transverse seismic wave was between 3.2 to 4.0 kilometers per second. One and a half minutes later, every player felt the ground beneath their feet violently shaking. The seismic wave had arrived.

Thanks to the earthquake early warning system, the people of Seoul had already left their houses, gathered in the wide streets, and open spaces.

Faces filled with fear, there was mass confusion.

Players too were exchanging glances, at a loss for words.

After a long while, a twenty-something female player finally spoke, “We… we won, didn’t we?”

“I guess…we did win.” A plain-looking young man next to her replied solemnly, “After all, we did successfully wipe out the monsters.”

Although they emerged victoriously from this battle, nobody could feel the joy of victory.

“Sigh”, an unknown player sighed, “The losses of this battle for us Blue Star were simply too great! The monsters along with the earthquake and the imminent tsunami, all combined could result in tens of millions of human deaths!”

“Damn Skuru, I swear I will avenge our dead fellow humans!” Faced with the staggering numbers of the dead, some players felt a newfound resolve.

Everyone knew this was just the start, Blue Star had already lost tens of millions of humans. When the war officially starts in seven months, who knows how many would die.

“But thanks to Boss Ke, who brought the camp into reality. If it weren’t for those 2000 high-ranking troops, our losses would have been much greater!”

“Enough said. From now on, I am going to spend all my offline time digging for gold. Digging for more gold also counts as contributing to Blue Star!”

“I’ll join you, we can team up.”

“But before we start mining, we should focus our efforts on disaster relief in Japan. The situation there is severe. Although the right-wing war criminals in Japan should be held accountable, the people are innocent.”

“Correct, let’s wait for the higher-ups to arrange it.”

Players huddled together, whispering among themselves.

Having faced such a great disaster, every player seemed to have matured instantly. At the same time, they all felt the weight on their shoulders grow even heavier.

…

Meanwhile, in Huaxia Nation’s East Sea City.

Commissioner Zhang sat slumped in his chair, his eyes tightly shut. Repeated waves of dizziness passed through his brain, making him feel as if he was about die.

To cope with this battle, he hadn’t slept for three days and three nights, and his body was on the verge of collapsing. But, finally, it was over!

On the computer screen in front of Commissioner Zhang, the video call with Chairman Hu Jing was still ongoing.

Chairman Hu Jing looked at Commissioner Zhang with concern, “Comrade Zhang Ling, can you keep up physically? You should rest now.”

“I’m fine, I can hold on.” Commissioner Zhang rubbed his face, forcing himself to stay alert.

Chairman Hu Jing’s face hardened, “Don’t push yourself if you can’t withstand it. Your body is the most critical asset for the revolution. Listen to my command, go rest in 5 minutes!”

“Understood.”

“Take advantage of these 5 minutes, give orders to the troops…” Chairman glanced at his watch, “…Firstly, deploy our forces to Goryeo and Japan for disaster relief. Instruct all Grandmasters, if they discover any monsters that have slipped through the net, they must be eliminated!”

“Yes.”

“Secondly, let all global production and construction forces focus on mining gold. This battle has fully demonstrated the power of converting troops in the camp. We must mine more gold in the future, to exchange for additional fifth-tier troops.”

“Alright.”

“Lastly, Comrade Zhong Feng’s control during this battle was excellent, Comrade Su Yu’s sacrifice was immense, and all the grandmasters also added a lot of strength to this fight. After things settle down, we should hold a medal ceremony to reward these heroes for their contributions to mankind!”

“I will inform them right away.”

After saying this, the video call ended.

Chairman Hu Jing instructed him to rest well, then he disconnected the video call.

As per Chairman’s instructions, Commissioner Zhang then relayed the three orders.
