Unlike the jubilation in the six surface cities, a tense atmosphere filled the headquarters of the Human Federation Academy of Sciences.
Every researcher watched the holographic interface before them closely, afraid of missing a single data point.
The reason was simple.
The detonation of the extremely high-yield nuclear bomb had shattered Nero into an enormous number of fragments.
The smaller fragments required little attention.
They would melt naturally as they fell.
What needed attention were the larger fragments.
Thanks to Zero's meticulous calculations, the Academy of Sciences had chosen the safest detonation method available.
Even so, the first explosion had produced over a thousand medium-to-large comet fragments capable of threatening Dawn Star's surface.
Five of them were enormous fragments more than fifty kilometers in diameter!
Moreover, the hydrogen bomb's blast had drastically altered their descent trajectories!
For the Noah's Ark Plan, the real test had only just begun!
"Zero, report the detonation results immediately," Lü Yongchang ordered, his expression grave.
"Detonation successfully completed."
Zero's tone was perfectly calm. "A total of 1,372 medium-to-large fragments were produced, consistent with the calculated results."
"All medium-to-large fragments have been located and locked onto."
As Zero's synthesized voice spoke, glowing green boxes of various sizes rapidly appeared across the enormous holographic display directly ahead.
Inside those glowing green boxes were comet fragments of all sizes!
Lü Yongchang glanced at the data in the Holographic Projection and spoke in a deep voice.
"Circumplanetary Climate-Control Satellite Network, operate at full power!"
"Execute the original plan!"
"Understood."
There was almost no delay.
The Circumplanetary Climate-Control Satellite Network in Dawn Star's high orbit sprang into action!
The small space-based electromagnetic cannons were the first to fire.
Electromagnetic Cannon Projectiles carrying miniature hydrogen bombs hurtled toward the 1,372 targets!
A few seconds passed.
As the Electromagnetic Cannon Projectiles
