Chapter 443: That light, that fire, those clouds
At that same moment, at the national science and technology base in the United States and the Watchers Base in Russia, vast numbers of technicians were decoding data from the Otherworld and plotting navigation routes for their weapons.
A blonde, blue-eyed girl chewed gum, trying her best to relax, but her rapid breathing and furrowed brow made her pretty face look almost ferocious.
"Mikaili, relax. You're scaring me a little."
Her colleague brought over two cups of coffee and offered one to her.
"Here. Coffee, with two packets of sugar."
But the girl did not take it. Her left hand worked the keyboard while her right raced across the mouse.
"Clack, clack... clack, clack..."
The Otherworld's terrain kept shifting across the screen. Route calculations advanced with every rapid keystroke, and each click of the mouse set another segment.
Altitude, turning angle, acceleration, radar scan references...
Both the speed of her data entry and the precision of her comparisons were astonishing.
Her eyes widened further and further, the bloodshot veins growing ever more visible.
Her hand practically flew across the keyboard.
There were no satellites to provide navigation in the Otherworld, nor had any human aircraft ever flown there. To ensure accuracy, technicians manually entered preset trajectories for every nuclear weapon and programmed contingency plans.
Finally, after continuous calculations, she saw a highlighted destination appear on the screen. Enlarging it revealed a digital simulation of a demon tide, with countless demons even modeled in motion.
After setting the detonation position and confirming the blast altitude on her computer screen, Mikaili saved the data and clicked to run the simulation.
"Whew..."
A faint smile appeared on Mikaili's face. She spun her ergonomic chair 180 degrees. Her colleague had been standing behind her the whole
