Chapter 181 Even if you drop a nuclear bomb, I'll eat my hat if it contaminates even a single d
Seeing the secretary's pale face, Number Two suddenly changed the subject, and the solemnity on his face was instantly replaced by an uncontrollable ecstasy!
He turned around abruptly and raised the encrypted tablet terminal in his hand.
"But now, Xiao Li!"
"The most critical problem is solved!!"
"Just now, Academician Qian and his team discovered that the World Tree can completely absorb and purify nuclear radiation!"
"You can imagine how important this is to us!"
Secretary Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said excitedly:
"The World Tree was originally designed not only to solve the ecology of the underground city and improve the quality of life for its residents, but also to stabilize the underground city and protect it from earthquakes and other disasters!"
"Now it can also purify and absorb nuclear radiation, allowing humanity to live peacefully underground and continue to thrive even after the apocalypse!"
"That's right! Haha... Hahahahahaha!" Number Two laughed heartily, extremely excited.
The anxieties of the apocalyptic crisis, as well as the tense war situation caused by the recent conflict with the United States, completely vanished at this moment, leaving no worries about the future!
The tension and anxiety that had been suppressed for so long turned into a hearty laugh at this moment.
Laughter echoed through the room, filled with unprecedented excitement and pride.
Isn't the United States going to conduct joint military exercises?
Isn't it just an attempt to threaten with nuclear war?
come!
Go ahead and throw them away!
If even a single drop of water in my Great Xia Underground City can be polluted, I'll admit defeat!
……
Meanwhile, in the ecological park at the Arctic base.
Qian Zhenhua and Liu Chengen are leading a group of researchers, working tirelessly on a new round of testing.
Various mineral samples, urgently airlifted from all over the country, were continuously delivered.
The experimental results proved their conjecture time and time again.
The World Tree accepts all radioactive materials without discrimination!
After absorbing more than a dozen different radioactive ore samples, the sapling, which was originally only 2.5 meters tall, has grown again and reached a height of 3 meters.
The lush green branches and leaves stretched out, radiating an increasingly rich aura of life.
"The efficiency is still too low!"
Liu Chengen looked at the piece of pitchblende that had been "eaten" up again, smacked his lips, and looked dissatisfied.
It's like watching your own child pouting because they haven't eaten enough.
He slapped his thigh abruptly and yelled at his assistant:
"Go! Get me a nuclear fuel rod!"
"Huh?" The assistant was stunned.
"What?!" Liu Chengen's eyes widened.
"This little guy has such a good appetite, of course we should give it something good to eat! Go quickly!"
Qian Zhenhua's eyes lit up as he stood to the side, clearly intrigued by this crazy proposal.
"Stop! Stop!!"
Lin Mo, both amused and exasperated, rushed between the two scientists who were completely engrossed in their discussion and forcibly interrupted their fervent debate about "giving the World Tree some good food."
He pointed to the not-so-high simulated skylight dome in the ecological park.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Qian, please calm down."
"This is just a park, it's too small."
"If it grows taller and thicker, and its roots spread out, how will we transplant it then?"
Liu Chengen suddenly realized what was happening and slapped himself on the forehead.
"Yes, yes, yes! Look at my brain, I forgot everything when I got excited!"
He rubbed his hands together, looking at the three-meter-tall sapling with a regretful expression, like a top chef looking at a rare ingredient but being told that the kitchen was too small to cook it properly.
"It's such a shame we can't conduct nuclear tests here anymore."
Lin Mo: "..."
He wisely decided not to engage in the conversation.
Liu Chengen turned to Lin Mo, his expression instantly switching from fervor to seriousness.
"Commander Lin, we need to finalize which dungeon to transplant the technology to as soon as possible!"
"The strategic value of this tree is something everyone is well aware of."
"We need to conduct nuclear tests as soon as possible, and then cultivate it into a true World Tree to benefit and protect humanity!"
Qian Zhenhua adjusted his glasses and added, "We must hurry; its growth cannot be halted."
This is no small matter and must be decided by the highest level.
Lin Mo nodded and was about to set off to find Chief No. 2.
A guard immediately stepped forward and said:
"Sir, you are currently in quarantine and observation period. According to regulations, it is inconvenient for us to have direct contact with you."
Lin Mo slapped his forehead.
Yes, I came into contact with these people who just returned from Terra, and there's an unknown risk of being infected. The rules can't be broken.
He stepped back, walked to a secluded corner, took out the secure phone Zhao Gang had given him, and dialed the number of Chief Number Two.
The call was answered almost instantly.
"Comrade Lin Mo." Number Two's steady voice came through.
"Sir! I gave you information about the World Tree not long ago; you should have seen it, right?"
The voice on the phone from number two was loud and clear, and he seemed to be in a good mood as he said:
"That's right, you did a great job. The World Tree is far more powerful to us than we imagined!"
Lin Mo: "Sir, there's a problem now. Where should we plant this World Tree sapling?"
Lin Mo quickly recounted the situation, emphasizing the World Tree's terrifying energy requirements and its unparalleled size after it grows.
There was a silence of about ten seconds on the other end of the phone.
Lin Mo could imagine that Number Two was rapidly weighing the pros and cons of the thirty-six underground cities in his mind.
"New Kyoto."
Number Two's voice rang out again, without the slightest hesitation, decisive and resolute.
"Plant it in Dungeon No. 1, New Kyoto."
Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowed, and he subconsciously started thinking about negative things.
Number Two seemed to have guessed Lin Mo's thoughts and continued:
"It's not just because New Kyoto is the core capital city of Great Xia and has a large population, but also because of the design of New Kyoto."
"Its outer perimeter consists of layers of honeycomb-like residential and functional areas, but its center is hollow, making it ideal for the growth and development of the World Tree."
"With just some modifications and expansions to the central area, we can provide ample space for the World Tree to grow."
"Moreover, the World Tree is so important that it even concerns the continuation of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"Place the most important things in the most central place and protect them with the strongest power to ensure absolute safety!"
"As for nuclear testing..."
Number Two paused, then sighed.
"Professor Qian and Professor Liu's ideas are very bold, but I approve them!"
"But we must be extremely careful and ensure that a nuclear leak does not occur!"
After Number Two finished speaking, Lin Mo had no more doubts and stood at attention, shouting:
"yes!"
"I understand! Let's prepare for the transplant now!"
"Alright! I will immediately order the New Kyoto side to clear the area and fully cooperate with your work!"
The phone hangs up.
Lin Mo turned around and told Qian Zhenhua and Liu Chengen about Number Two's decision.
After listening, the two academicians were taken aback at first, and then burst into great enthusiasm.
