When he heard that he got the Emperor’s approval, if he still dared to question it, his position as the director of the Volcano Research Institute would undoubtedly be in jeopardy!
The Emperor’s decree represents divine will!
No one dares to defy it!
Even if it’s not executed, someone will immediately replace him and carry it out!
Yano Yamakawa sighed deeply, the outcome he least wanted to see was coming.
Looking at the figures still being calculated on the big screen in the conference hall, he appeared vacant-eyed and somewhat exhausted.
But he still urgently convened a meeting to start assessing the damage that might be caused by the explosion of a nuclear bomb underground!
And they began discussing the post-disaster plan.
When everyone in the conference room learned of this topic, they were all shocked!
Wasn’t all their previous detection work in vain!
If the violent fill-up opened a larger magma chamber underground, wouldn’t it cause a bigger magma eruption!?
Previously, just two lightning strikes split one side of the mountain, causing magma to leak out!
And now they were going to violently fill the underground with tactical piercing nuclear bombs!
Various experts in nuclear weapons research and geological disaster monitoring gathered together at this moment for intense discussions.
Time gradually passed, and everyone ate at their positions while endlessly discussing the formulation of the plan!
The whole hall was bustling at this moment, everyone was completely occupied, all kinds of calculation drafts were spread all over the floor, and the noise was no less than that of a busy street!
Yano Yamakawa also stayed glued to his spot, each plan needed his review, pointing out strengths, weaknesses, and general direction.
Meanwhile, the emergency response team stationed at the crater of Jingli Mountain was still holding their posts, waiting for orders.
They waited continuously but received no news.
At Jingli Mountain, thick snow accumulated at the foot of the mountain, while at the top it was as hot as a furnace, the mix of cold and heat caused the team immense suffering!
"Commander, ask again!"
"Yes, Commander, call them again and ask!"
"Waiting like this is not okay!"
"At least we need to know what we should do, feels like we’ve been forgotten!"
"....."
Some team members were already feeling the pangs of hunger and exhaustion, urging for action.
Kanamoto Taro also felt something unusual, since the initial call, the research institute had gone silent!
Yano Yamakawa’s calls were also unanswered!
Logically, they should maintain constant contact with the team at the mountain peak to adjust detection points ensuring accuracy!
Now it seemed they weren’t adjusting at all!
A group of people waited in vain, with no news!
Just as Kanamoto Taro hesitated about making an emergency call to the Volcano Research Institute, Yano Yamakawa called!
"Lead the team to withdraw!"
"The cabinet has issued a directive to implement the nuclear bomb fill-up plan!"
"Detection values are now meaningless!"
"Nuclear bomb!!?"
Kanamoto Taro froze on the spot!
Repeatedly confirmed with Yano Yamakawa, but the result was the same!
At this moment, no matter who heard the word "nuclear bomb," the surge of fear inside was indescribable!
The shadow of two nuclear bombs from years past was still not erased!
And now, another one!
When the team saw Kanamoto Taro’s empty eyes and the stiff expression on his face, they waved their hands in front of him, but he showed no reaction!
"What’s going on, Commander?"
"Did the Volcano Research Institute explode?"
"What’s going on, speak up!"
Seeing Kanamoto Taro completely unresponsive, the team members grew anxious!
Not until moments later did Kanamoto Taro snap back from his shock!
"The cabinet has decided to use nuclear bombs!"
"We have to hurry down the mountain!"
"What!? A nuclear bomb!?"
"No way?"
"Is it really at the point of destruction?"
"Things are this serious!?"
Everyone looked at each other, realizing the seriousness from Kanamoto Taro’s expression, all were instantly speechless!
This meant, the nation’s safety depended on this moment!
Kanamoto Taro led the team down the mountain, now only able to follow orders.
Other matters were beyond his control.
"Commander, what about the detection equipment?"
"Leave it, let’s go!"
Kanamoto Taro waved his hand indifferently, heading quickly down the mountain without looking back.
Seeing this, the team hurried down the mountain.
Inside the Volcano Research Institute hall.
A group of people were conducting tight calculations, covering all fields, including post-disaster reconstruction in this plan.
This discussion involved not only the Volcano Research Institute but also six other similar institutes within Divine Light Country, simultaneously discussing and formulating the plan!
Seven institutes in total, connected via network communication, synchronizing the latest progress in real-time!
Thus, the preliminary plan was hastily formulated!
Yano Yamakawa reviewed this plan repeatedly, feeling it had covered the general direction, enough to report to the cabinet.
He then used the red emergency phone to reach the cabinet.
"We have roughly estimated the losses this time!"
"It is expected that Jingli Mountain will completely collapse after the nuclear bomb strike!"
"Surrounding cities will face hazards from earthquakes ranging between magnitude 6 to 9!"
"Various corroborated directions indicate that we can effectively prevent further magma spread, avoiding encounters between the chemical plant and magma!"
"Additionally..."
As Yano Yamakawa reported according to the plan, a staff member hurriedly approached and interrupted his progress!
"Director, new situation!"
"Do you know who I’m talking to? How dare you interrupt me!"
Yano Yamakawa’s cold eyes flashed sharply, his anger was evidently expressed through one look!
The staff shivered, hastily retreated a few steps but seemed unwilling to leave!
"Director, the calculation results are out!"
"The magma flow is expected to stop in an hour!"
"What did you say!!?"
Yano Yamakawa looked at the reporting staff in shock, scrutinizing him up and down, feeling a cold sweat realizing it wasn’t false!
"What? Go verify quickly!"
"Don’t hang up the phone!"
"I’ll wait for your news!"
The voice on the other side also heard the report, urging Yano Yamakawa to verify immediately!
Yano Yamakawa dared not delay, instantly approached the experts to repeatedly confirm the values appearing on the big screen!
"Could the detected values be false?"
Experts collectively shook their heads in response to the skepticism!
"Data is very accurate!"
"This calculation model is supported by technology from Atlantis, combined with the latest detectors forming a 128-group monitoring network!"
"The model is established!"
"No mistake!"
"Magma activity inside the volcano has indeed stopped!"
These words left Yano Yamakawa stunned!
Clearly, the magma on the big screen was still flowing down the mountain, showing no signs of stopping!
How could it stop suddenly!
Previously, public statements indicated that the volcanic magma flow of Jingli Mountain might be uncontrollable!
They had even escalated to implementing the worst-case scenario!
"How can this be???"
"Stopped just like that!?"
"Previous detections indicated continued flow, threatening the chemical plant there!"
"Could there be a problem with the calculation model?"
"A problem with the detectors?"
"Check it out quickly!"
"Double-check it!"
"Get it started, no time left!"
Yano Yamakawa’s hoarse voice echoed throughout the hall.
The cabinet, receiving this news, also fell silent, hanging up and choosing to wait for the Volcano Research Institute’s confirmation.
The remaining six institutes also halted their plan development, coordinating with Yano Yamakawa to further analyze the data from the volcano.
At the same time, Yano Yamakawa called Kanamoto Taro.
"Where are you guys?"
"Just got to the mountain base, what’s up?"
"Climb back up fast!"
