Chapter 598 New Uses for Antimatter Bombs

In the staff box, someone whispered:

"If it doesn't come in, we won't be able to blow it up."

"But if it keeps circling around to the Arctic, it will encounter underground cities without antimatter bombs."

"That's the problem."

"We only have a few antimatter bombs; it's impossible to place one in every underground city."

The atmosphere became heavy again.

This is a very real problem. The Great Xia Dynasty has too many underground cities, while the Demon Gods have extremely strong mobility.

If Da Xia fails to track down the other party and suddenly appears in the Arctic, Da Xia cannot possibly deploy antimatter bombs in advance every time.

Just as everyone's thoughts were becoming increasingly heavy, Han Niba suddenly spoke.

"It's not all bad."

Everyone looked at him.

Han Niba's gaze swept over the crowd.

"Through the two incidents in Tianxiong City and Tianyong City, we have confirmed at least a few things."

"First, antimatter bombs can indeed threaten the Demon God."

"Secondly, the demon god can sense this threat."

"Third, it will proactively avoid such threats rather than charge head-on."

The staff officers in the command center perked up and listened attentively.

Han Niba continued:

"In the past, our understanding of demons was mostly based on speculation, such as our premonition of danger."

"For example, if a nuclear bomb can't kill it, we can only conclude that it has extremely strong defenses."

"But things are different now, it has retreated."

Han Niba raised his hand and tapped the screen.

"This shows that it is not completely unsolvable."

"It's also afraid of dying."

The people in the hall exchanged glances, and one of the staff officers frowned and asked:

"Director Han, what do you mean?"

Han Niba turned around and looked at everyone.

"Since antimatter bombs make it hesitant to use them, why should we treat them as weapons of mass destruction?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Han Niba said in a deep voice:

"We can treat it as something to drive away demons."

"To put it bluntly, it's like using antimatter bombs as 'insect repellents'."

As soon as he said that, many people in the staff seat had their eyes light up.

A young staff officer said instinctively:

"You mean, as soon as the Demon God attacks a dungeon, we immediately send an antimatter bomb there?"

"right."

Han Niba nodded.

"Since it can sense danger, we will take advantage of its senses."

"If it wants to attack Tianyong, we'll send an antimatter bomb to Tianyong."

"If it wants to fight Tianxiong, we'll send it to Tianxiong."

"If it wants to attack the Arctic underground city, we'll send it to the Arctic."

"As long as it doesn't dare to get close, we don't necessarily have to blow it up."

Han Niba's voice became even louder.

What do we lack most right now?

Everyone felt a sudden jolt; they all knew the answer.

time.

What the Great Xia Dynasty lacked was time.

Weapons factories need time.

Mass production of third- and fifth-tier combat robots will take time.

The production of missiles, nuclear bombs, and cubic nitrogen munitions also takes time.

It will also take time for Lin Mo to mobilize support from the Terra continent.

Han Niba continued:

"The demon god is indeed powerful, so powerful that we cannot defeat it head-on right now."

"But as long as antimatter bombs can force it to stop, force it to take a detour, and force it to be hesitant to venture into the underground city, then we can achieve a delicate balance with it."

"It possesses demon-god level combat power, but we have a trump card that can threaten a demon god."

"No one can easily overturn the table."

Upon hearing this, an old staff officer nodded slowly.

"That changed the situation."

"We don't need to rush to kill the demon god."

"As long as we can hold it off and prevent it from continuously destroying the dungeon, we can get through the most dangerous phase."

Another staff officer also realized what was happening.

"What really gives us a headache has never been the ordinary demons."

"The demons are indeed numerous, but it won't take them just a day or two to completely fill up the Blue Star."

"The underground city defense line, coupled with unmanned mechanical troops, can hold out for a short time."

"The truly unsolvable problem is top-tier combat power like the Demon God."

"As long as the Demon God is restrained, the other demons can be slowly worn down using industrial production capacity."

Someone excitedly added:

"Once Commander Lin's reinforcements arrive, the situation will be completely different!"

This statement lifted everyone's spirits.

On the continent of Terra, with the arrival of high-level combat forces from the Holy Humans, Dwarves, Elves, and Dragons, they now have the resources to confront the Demon God.

What the Great Xia Dynasty lacks most right now is someone who can directly confront the Demon God.

If Lin Mo can bring over the powerful figures and more resources from that side, Great Xia won't have to keep relying on antimatter bombs to survive.

The question now is whether we can hold out until then.

Han Niba didn't give everyone much time to discuss.

He gave the order directly.

"Adjust the strategic plan."

"From now on, antimatter bombs will no longer be permanently deployed in a single underground city."

"Using Tian Shu City as the core transit node, establish thirty-five underground city teleportation portals."

"As soon as the Demon God confirms its approach to any dungeon, the antimatter bomb will be immediately transferred."

"To deter and drive away the demons."

"If necessary, a detonation kill may be carried out."

As soon as the order was given, the entire command center sprang into action.

The communications officer immediately connected to the relevant department channels to relay the instructions.

However, they overestimated themselves.

They believed that as long as the antimatter bomb could deter the demon, they could temporarily stabilize the situation.

But what happened next was a slap in the face to everyone.

……

Tianxiong Underground City.

One portal after another lit up.

Tracked unmanned tanks, spider-shaped engineering robots, Tier 1 combat robots, and Tier 5 heavy armored robots rushed out of the portal almost in a line.

They headed straight for the city's outer defense line.

On the wide underground main road, metal tracks rolled over the ground, producing a dense roar.

One drone after another was launched from the top of the transport vehicle and flew close to the dome towards the front line.

The entire city of Tianxiong was like a war machine pushed to its limit.

Even so, the defensive line was still retreating.

As the first dungeon to directly bear the wrath of the demons, Tianxiong City is under immense pressure.

Hundreds of burrowing dragons crashed against the outer rock wall wave after wave.

The bone drills on the heads of these monsters spun wildly, tearing holes in the high-strength concrete.

Explosions rang out from all directions as cubic nitrogen bombs detonated one after another.

The firelight illuminated the shattered dome, and also the demons that emerged from the cracks.

At first, Tianxiong City was able to be congested.

Wherever a hole is drilled, pile up unmanned equipment and explosives.

Wherever a gap appears, a robot will fill it.

However, the gaps kept widening, and the outer wall was riddled with holes.

In many areas, the damage is no longer just "broken," but the entire pressure-bearing structure has begun to deform.

boom--!

A muffled bang suddenly came from above a perimeter defense zone.

The tens of meters thick concrete load-bearing layer finally gave way, and cracks spread wildly along the dome.

The next second, a large section of the wall collapsed.

Huge blocks of concrete and steel structures crashed down, instantly crushing more than a dozen combat robots below.

Smoke and dust surged toward the street like waves.

Before the defenses could be reorganized, four burrowing dragons simultaneously rushed in from behind the collapsed area.

Behind them was a densely packed army of demons.

It is surging into Tianxiong City like a flood bursting its banks!
