The Security Defense Department of No. 9 Underground City was in an uproar.
"Have we still not retaken the southeastern base? What the hell is the Second Army doing?!"
"It's confirmed. The weapon that was launched is 'Gonggong.'"
"What's the target?"
"Determine the optimal interception point as quickly as possible."
A group of officers crowded around the central holographic map, staring at the bright speck that had risen from the southeastern base. Every one of them looked deeply troubled.
If a weapon of mass destruction like this exploded in a densely populated area, the entire No. 9 Shelter would be lucky to lose only ten years of economic development and infrastructure.
One staff officer rapidly tapped at the holographic map. Before long, his hands froze, and his face turned ashen.
"We have the result. 'Gonggong's' target is the Heavy Element Reactor. It's expected to hit in two minutes."
In an instant, everyone present went pale.
"Fuck! Those lunatics in Can Society want to take us all down with them?!"
As mentioned earlier, humanity had entered the era of Underground Cities only after mastering several pieces of black technology.
Technologies such as closed-loop ecological systems were merely the icing on the cake. Only two breakthroughs had truly enabled humanity to endure.
They were advances in materials science and mastery of heavy-element fusion technology.
Compared with the former, heavy-element fusion came with an absurdly high risk.
The Heavy Element Reactor, built at the very center of the shelter, was already balanced on a knife's edge in terms of reliability.
Nearly ten thousand people were needed just for routine maintenance, ensuring that even the condition of a single screw was checked every day by at least five engineers.
How could something that required such meticulous care possibly withstand the explosion of 'Gonggong'?
