Too Despicable

(PS: The previous chapter was blocked, so this chapter will briefly cover the outline.)

Three months later.

A drastic change swept across the entire Earth.

After a war that lasted no more than half an hour, an old superpower instantly fell, tumbling completely from its throne of dominance.

A new superpower rose steadily, stepping onto the highest stage and gaining the power to lead this blue planet.

As for what exactly happened in between, there was no need to waste too many words describing it. Everyone could probably guess the reason.

Some people might care about two questions:

Question one: Were nuclear weapons used?

Of course they were. Z Country alone used more than 11,000 Nuclear Warheads, destroying over 5,000 strategic targets... most of them were low-yield nuclear weapons.

Question two: Was Earth destroyed?

Of course not.

In fact, most people greatly overestimated the power of nuclear weapons. According to the formula for calculating nuclear weapon yields and lethal radii, a 10-kiloton nuclear weapon had a lethal radius of 1.5 kilometers; a 100-kiloton nuclear weapon had a lethal radius of 3.3 kilometers; and a 10-megaton nuclear weapon had a lethal radius of 15 kilometers.

Even the most terrifying ultimate nuclear weapon, with a yield of 100 megatons, had a lethal radius of only 32 kilometers.

Meanwhile, in nature, a moderately strong typhoon contained energy equivalent to one billion tons of TNT, causing ordinary levels of destruction.

So scientifically speaking, the claim that nuclear weapons could destroy Earth several times over was completely false. Never mind several times—they could not even destroy it once.

But what about the secondary radiation damage and radioactive contamination caused by nuclear explosions? Those were extremely deadly things that could make land unsuitable for human habitation.

But in reality, once a nuclear weapon exploded, it basically
