Looking at the secretary's deathly pale face, Elder Zhao suddenly changed tack. The gravity on his face was instantly replaced by irrepressible elation!
He spun around and said:
"But now, Secretary Li!"
"This most critical problem has been solved!!"
"Just now, Academician Qian and the others discovered that the World Tree can actually absorb and purify nuclear radiation completely!"
"You can imagine how important this is to us!"
Secretary Li froze, then broke into a smile as well and said excitedly:
"Already, the World Tree could not only sustain the Underground City's ecosystem and improve its residents' quality of life, but also stabilize the Underground City against earthquakes and other disturbances!"
"Now it can also purify and absorb nuclear radiation, allowing humanity to settle safely underground through Doomsday and survive!"
"Exactly! Ha ha... hahahahaha!" Elder Zhao laughed heartily, exhilarated.
The anxiety of the Doomsday crisis, along with the tense military situation Eagle Country had recently caused, vanished completely at that moment. There were no more worries about what lay ahead!
The tension and anxiety suppressed for so long turned into a burst of thoroughly cathartic laughter.
His laughter echoed through the room, filled with unprecedented exhilaration and boldness.
Wasn't Eagle Country planning joint military exercises?
Wasn't it just trying to threaten us with nuclear war?
Come on, then!
Drop all you want!
If you can contaminate a single drop of water in Great Xia's Underground Cities, I lose!

Qian Zhenhua and Liu Chengen were leading a group of researchers through another round of tests, forgoing sleep and meals.
Various ore samples urgently airlifted from across the country were arriving in a steady stream.
The experimental results confirmed their conjecture time and again.
The World Tree turned away no radioactive substance!
