Chapter 415 Fate
[The unexplained huge explosion in the Mukuju River deposit caused doubts and concerns from the outside world. ]
[The huge explosion caused a large-scale collapse of the mine, but your engineering robot "Tanzania" acted as a pillar beam and created a safe area in the collapsed mine]
[ But you can only wait for outside rescue for the time being. 】
Anywhere an explosion of this scale occurs will cause concern, especially in disputed areas.
So how powerful was this explosion?
During the long nuclear war, Lear gradually mastered a "skill": he could estimate the equivalent of TNT at a glance.
The power of this explosion is estimated to be equivalent to 5,000 tons of TNT, which is equivalent to some small tactical nuclear bombs.
Thanks to the hasty detonation, it is basically a ground explosion. Animals and plants within 1030 meters will be severely burned, and the shock wave overpressure within 2010 meters is more than 1psi.
If it occurs in an urban area, buildings within this range will collapse on a large scale and catch fire, with glass and debris flying causing collateral damage.
The mushroom cloud is clearly visible on satellite maps.
However, although this explosion was beyond imagination and completely beyond ordinary people's understanding of "fossil fuels", what made Lear stop thinking was another thing:
He You can clearly see a strange black spot appearing in the center of the explosion!
With this black spot as the center, all the images within the explosion radius are dyed with strange colors, like oil floating on the sea, the colors are bright and weird.
What is different from those things is that these weird colors are getting clearer and clearer in Lille’s head, and along with the severe pain, they finally become real pictures
When the explosion ended, his consciousness was accompanied by huge pain, and he seamlessly switched to the cyberpunk world, the rental house in the H8 skyscraper!
Those inconsistent colors seem to have completely disappeared from memory at this moment, leaving only the same dazzling cityscape in front of me.
At the same time, in another world, Matt, who is still investigating Kate Waste Logistics Company, also sent heavyweight intelligence to Lear:
Illegal transportation of radioactive nuclear and chemical hazards a few years ago The manager of the property is Jin Bin!
The waste that was poured on him and himself was the waste produced by some kind of secret experiment conducted by the predecessor company of Roxon Energy Group!
An idea suddenly popped into Lear's head: In other words, his ability to constantly travel through the world probably comes from this!
Matt was blinded by the waste, but his senses were geometrically enhanced.
As for Lear, what he got was the ability to travel through other worlds!
The current situation proves that the explosion caused by the high-energy concentrated fuel.
It is the so-called "unstable energy"!
[Matt: Anyway, that's the way it is, could it be... fate? After all, now we all know that the conflict between you and Roxon has been put on the table. 】
It is indeed fate.
More than four years ago, Kingpin, who was not yet the emperor of the underworld, arranged for his men to illegally dump hazardous waste as usual. The tired driver dozed off while passing the intersection.
A young man who was having a tantrum with his family was walking across the sidewalk. When the driver saw the young man, he turned the steering wheel sharply and braked suddenly, causing the car to overturn.
Hazardous waste hit the young man, Lille, causing the family to be trapped in medical bills. His father died of overwork, and his mother supported him until he sold all his assets and was saddled with huge debts.
More than four years later, the awakened Lille became the biggest stumbling block on Roxon's road to monopoly -
The young man who had been hurt unintentionally finally stood in front of this giant company.
The war has begun.
Perhaps the outside world only thinks that this is a dispute between the Berry Army and the African Union, but in fact it represents the support of two interest groups.
The leaders of these two interest groups happened to have such a past dispute.
Lear sat up from the bed, holding his forehead, digesting the pain.
[Lille: Does Roxon know? 】
[Matt: They don’t know, after all, you and I. You used to be just another insignificant little character in this world. Kingpin had already taken care of everything for his master. 】
[Matt: Kate Logistics Company has no living people who can serve as witnesses, so the clues have been cut off again. 】
It doesn’t matter anymore. Lille looked out the window at Night City, and a holographic advertisement floated past the window:
"Never wait for rescue, the power is in your hands - the Crusher Shotgun, the best expert in critical moments."
[Lille: It doesn't matter, everything that has been done must be done. There are traces, we will find the results sooner or later. 】
[Matt: Are you talking about breaking into Roxen? Recently, I always feel that things will turn out like this. 】
【Lille: Now, do you think the law of Berry Country can still judge them? 】
Matt was silent.
Hang up the communication with Matt, Lear stood up from the bed, intending to collect his thoughts and figure out the current situation in the Marvel world.
Little Octopus grabbed a lot of news from the Internet and summarized it.
The Mukuju River explosion caused huge damage to the surrounding environment, and the explosion also caused radioactive dust to rise to high altitudes and scatter with the wind.
So although high-energy concentrated oil is not radioactive, the explosion will spread radioactivity to the surrounding area of more than ten kilometers.
The explosion here attracted global attention, but what is even more disturbing is what happened in Somalia:
The African Union claimed that the Berry Army illegally entered Somalia and attacked three ships stationed in the port of Galkayo , kidnapped 22 officials at the port.
All the news reported this incident, but in the new media, a completely different truth was revealed on the Internet:
Three warships, a total of 50 Iron Soldiers cooperated The warships first attacked the port indiscriminately.
In order to ensure secrecy, the victims included not only the Al Shabab occupying the port, but also locals without any party affiliation, resulting in a total of more than 3,000 deaths!
There is no doubt about the humanitarian crisis: yes, there may be five pirates out of ten people in Somalia, which is almost anarchic, and one is a member of an extremist organization.
But what about the rest?
To a certain extent, people who did not engage in extreme activities even in such a harsh environment may be kinder, but now they are all dead.
This incident caused an uproar, and public opinion boiled fiercely again:
The main war faction believed that the Berry Army was going to "seek justice" and to eliminate terrorists, and that the African Union supported the terrorists. , this is a direct declaration of war!
The other group doesn’t think so: Are all the more than 3,000 people terrorists? Just lie!
As the new Somali government took office, the investigation continued and it was discovered that the Berry Army sergeants headed by General Ross not only killed more than 3,000 people, but also kidnapped thousands of people in the basement, including children and women.
These civilians were trampled and died in large numbers due to the crowded underground environment, and the scene was horrific.
But these are only broadcast on the Internet -
But the truth is not covered up by traditional media at all.
Two factions, two thoughts, and this situation not only occurs within the Berry Country, but also because of the strong appearance of Roxon Energy Group and the sudden rise of Atlas Group, it appears as two trends of thought in the world——
The 6 billion people in the world are gradually and clearly divided into two camps as the conflict intensifies.
Many people are frightened:
Because both parties have considerable military power.
But "luckily", their base camps are all in Berry Country
Maybe they can resolve their conflicts peacefully through the upcoming presidential election?
The only person Lille knows who can be used as a chess piece as "President"
is an old man who is slightly risky.
Secretary of State James Buchanan Barnes.
But Lille's troubles extend beyond one world.
[V: Are you alive? There's something new here at the Tiger Claw Gang, and Mox's chick is here. 】
