Everyone in the Command Center drew in a sharp breath.
Zhao Gang's eyes widened.
"Antimatter?!"
Qian Zhenhua nodded, his eyes filled with madness.
"You previously asked the Academy of Sciences to develop a weapon against the Eighth Order Demon Clan. Based on our estimates of Eighth Order strength, we concluded that only something more powerful than a nuclear bomb might work."
"But with our current technology, that was simply impossible."
"Nuclear weapons are already the pinnacle, and a barrier."
He spoke faster and faster.
"If we want a weapon that's even stronger, an entire order of magnitude stronger, we need a completely new approach!"
"And that is antimatter!"
Long Zhan and Zhao Gang exchanged a glance.
A sharp light flared in their eyes.
Qian Zhenhua pointed at the silver sphere in the briefcase.
"This is the only antimatter bomb my team of scientists and I have created, pouring everything we had into it and using antimatter refined through numerous nuclear fusion reactors."
"In theory, it can destroy any and all matter we can come into contact with!"
"It may be small, but its power is annihilation on the level of fundamental laws!"
Everyone in the Command Center held their breath.
Antimatter.
They had only ever seen that word in theoretical physics textbooks.
It was one of the most terrifying forces in the universe.
When matter came into contact with antimatter, complete mass-energy conversion would occur.
According to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation, E=mc², the annihilation of one gram of antimatter with one gram of matter would release energy equivalent to forty-three thousand tons of TNT.
The key was that its core destructive power differed from that of a nuclear bomb.
Nuclear bombs could not scale up infinitely. For example, the core destructive power of a ten-megaton nuclear bomb was not much
