Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 109 "Capital" Hydrogen Bomb

How come all the other Wallfacers are serving the people, but for me it's me serving the people?

Luo Qing fell into deep thought.

The fact that I personally went to Mercury saved humanity at least hundreds of billions of dollars in resource investment.

I am so great.

In space, Luo Qing carried the most powerful super hydrogen bomb in history, drifting silently toward Mercury. To be honest, Luo Qing was a little scared of this stellar nuclear bomb.

35 billion tons of equivalent...

Although I did withstand the explosion of a MIRV nuclear warhead during the exercise in the eighth year of the Crisis Era, it was a small-yield one after all.

But the big guy behind him is not.

That's equivalent to the total of seventy Tsar Bomba hydrogen bombs... If this had happened when I first transmigrated, it would have blasted me to smithereens, leaving me with nothing but dust.

Of course, he is now at the Supreme Nascent Soul stage.

Stellar nuclear weapons no longer pose a threat to us.

Probably.

Scientists have calculated that if this stellar nuclear bomb were placed deep within the lunar crust, it would be enough to create a crack in the lunar surface, causing a certain deviation in the moon's orbit.

In other words, if there are enough of these star-shaped nuclear bombs, they could even propel the moon forward.

Luo Qing knew he didn't have the power to move the moon.

Since there were no cultivators of the same level to fight and practice with him, Luo Qing's attack methods could only be used in the vacuum of space. He lacked reasonable reference points to determine the range of his strength.

We can only make a general guess based on escape speed and the range of divine sense.

Luo Qing needs a suitable sandbag, but unfortunately Earth is inhabited, the Moon is too fragile, and humans on other planets will still need to use one in the future.

There's no other way; we can't exactly go and attack the sun.

Luo Qing felt that even if he exerted all his strength, he might not be able to defeat the solar prominence that the sun had flung out, which was tens of thousands of kilometers long.

Solar prominences are large plasma and magnetic field structures that extend outward from the surface of the Sun. They are usually ring-shaped, fixed in the photosphere on the Sun's surface, and extend outward to the corona. A typical solar prominence is several times the size of Earth in width, tens of times the size of Earth in length, and generally tens of thousands of kilometers in height. Large solar prominences can be hundreds of thousands of kilometers above the Sun's surface.

This solar prominence, stretching hundreds of thousands of kilometers, would be a force capable of destroying a nation even back in one's hometown, and would be unstoppable by anyone except those at the Tribulation Transcending stage if it were to strike the cultivation world.

This is just a normal breath of a star.

Damn it, who said that the Fusion Stage could explode into a star? Anyway, the Fusion Stage in Luo Qing's hometown is definitely not good.

Not to mention the differences between stars themselves. The largest star observed by humans is UY Scuti. It is a red supergiant with a radius approximately 1708 times that of the Sun, reaching 11.88 billion kilometers. If it were placed at the center of the solar system, its surface volume would be close to that of Saturn's orbit.

You're telling me there are people below the Mahayana stage who can produce this thing?
Because the power levels in the cultivation world are far more abstract than those in the observable universe, Luo Qing has always avoided thinking about such questions. The difference between the two worlds is too great to be comparable.

As Luo Qing was thinking, he had been flying at one percent of the speed of light for four or five hours, and the star-shaped nuclear bomb behind him had also traveled forty million kilometers.

Regarding the first stellar nuclear bomb in human history that lay behind him, Radiaz named it: 'Capital'.

Simple, direct, and impactful.

It gives one the feeling of having given away the entire solar system.

To be honest, Luo Qing, who had some understanding of capitalism, thought it was a good name, and in that respect, he greatly admired Rediaz.

The 'Capital' nuclear bomb is about the size of a house, but the actual volume of its nuclear fusion materials, deuterium and tritium, does not exceed 15 cubic meters. The remaining volume is mostly used for devices that stabilize the bomb itself, such as heat shields, stabilizers, gyroscopes, and uranium fission implosion pressure devices. In short, even excluding the explosive portion, the Capital nuclear bomb is still a sophisticated mechanical device.

If the 'Capital' nuclear bomb's internal electronic systems fail due to external factors such as solar wind, Luo Qing can manually delay the detonation using mechanical devices.

Of course, after receiving the detonation order from Earth, the 'Capital' nuclear bomb will have a one-minute countdown.

This was to mitigate unforeseen risks, such as the possibility that remnants of the ETO, though seemingly dead, could seize control of the nuclear missile through the Sophon and kill Luo Qing while he was towing it. Behind Luo Qing and the nuclear missile was a human planetary-level spaceship, but compared to Luo Qing's 1% light speed, the spaceship was much slower. Luo Qing was already close to Mercury, while that spaceship had only just left Earth's Hill sphere radius (Earth's effective gravitational range).

However, the "Emperor Yan of Ten Thousand Years" planetary-level spacecraft is already the fastest manned spacecraft that mankind currently possesses.

The "Wannian Yandi" is China's second spacecraft after the "Kunlun-1" Earth-Moon spacecraft, and also its first true planetary-level spacecraft.

In fact, the "Emperor Yan of Ten Thousand Years" project was initiated in Crisis Era 15, which is even half a year earlier than the "Kunlun-1" lunar spacecraft project initiated in Crisis Era 16.

However, because the initial steps were too ambitious and some technologies, especially propellantless nuclear radiation drive technology, were not yet mature, the construction progress of the 'Emperor of Ten Thousand Years' in the space dock was once halted. It was not until the 'Kunlun-1' lunar spaceship, which was exquisite and small, was fully completed that the 'Emperor of Ten Thousand Years' was able to successfully cross the river by feeling the stone of 'Kunlun-1' and was barely born at the end of the 20th year of the Crisis Era.

But this spaceship is of great significance to humanity.

The "Emperor Yan of Ten Thousand Years" was the first giant spaceship developed by mankind. Its size was astonishing, equivalent to two giant aircraft carriers. Theoretically, it could accommodate 5000 people living in space at the same time. Although it was named a planetary-level spaceship, all its indicators, especially its size, were built according to the standards of future star-level spaceships. However, due to the immaturity of the technology, the "Emperor Yan of Ten Thousand Years" was actually an immature experimental spaceship.

The "Emperor Yan of Ten Thousand Years" also has a unique design concept, integrating all the functions of space exploration within the solar system, much like a Swiss Army knife in space. It can operate in orbits at various altitudes on Earth like a space station, and can also easily move to lunar orbit. Theoretically, it can even initiate interplanetary exploration flights.

Some jokingly call the Wannian Yandi spacecraft a 'quasi-planetary' spacecraft, which is still far from being a true planetary spacecraft that can easily travel to the edge of the solar system.

The speed of the 'Emperor Yan of Ten Thousand Years' is limited by the immaturity of its propellant-free radiation-driven engine, and its maximum speed is an order of magnitude lower than that predicted by the Space Force for a low-tech spacecraft.

Even now, the scientific research attributes of the 'Emperor Yan of Ten Thousand Years' far outweigh its military attributes.

This is a bulky, slow-moving, space-age giant filled with scientific research and detection equipment, with combat capabilities nearly zero.

It is almost impossible to use it to resist the Trisolaran fleet in the future.

Logically, such an experimental spacecraft should not leave low Earth orbit before completing its technical verification, but Luo Qing assured him, "Fly with confidence, don't worry about anchoring in space, if it does, I'll pull it back."

With Luo Qing's promise, the Wan Nian Yan Di spacecraft embarked on its maiden voyage away from Earth's orbit, and its destination was Mercury.

It will remain in Mercury's orbit for a long time, in preparation for receiving data from the explosion of Radiaz.

It is worth mentioning that the Wan Nian Yan Di is not the only planetary spacecraft currently owned by humankind.

There are currently two similar planetary spacecraft in human history. The other one was built by Russia: the "Wannian Fengxue" (Ten Thousand Year Snowstorm), which was completed almost at the same time as the "Wannian Yandi" (Ten Thousand Year Emperor Yan).

Americans and Europeans had no immediate interest in building such large toys; they focused their attention on creating intricate small spaceships.

Let's build up the technology first.

After cruising at 1% of the speed of light for five hours, Luo Qing arrived near Mercury's orbit ahead of others. The Capital Nuclear Bomb floated quietly behind him, serving as a silver backdrop against the light of the enormous star so close at hand.

His gaze did not linger on the sun, but instead focused on Mercury at his feet.

The gray-black Mercury floated in the silence of the universe. Luo Qing could clearly see that the surface of Mercury was covered with impact craters of varying depths, with ridges and cliffs stretching across it.

The scorching sun is almost within reach, its blinding rays pouring onto this gray-black planet. The temperature difference between day and night on Mercury's surface exceeds four hundred degrees Celsius; the sunlit side is blazing hot, while the shaded areas plunge into icy abysses. Compared to Mars, this is certainly not a suitable place for human development.

I really don't know what Radjaz is trying to do.

Three minutes later.

Luo Qing landed on the desolate rocks and eternal desolation, and took out one of his few spirit swords.

[Kunyue Chenxiao Sword].

It sounds perfect for digging.

Unlike the [Superior Magic Weapon Xuanbing Sword] and the [Quasi-Spirit Weapon Xinjie Sword], the [Kunyue Chenxiao Sword] is a sword that has truly developed spirituality and belongs to the category of spiritual weapons.

However, its spirituality is relatively weak, and its self-awareness is not much stronger than that of an infant. It is almost impossible for it to collapse back into the macroscopic world through self-observation, and Luo Qing needs to manually pull it out.

Luo Qing had very few spiritual weapons. His best top-grade spiritual weapon, the Cloud Sword, was given as a gift to his first disciple. Moreover, he didn't have any sword more suitable for digging than the Kunyue Chenxiao Sword.

Enough talk, let's dig!
