After berating himself in his diary, Zhang Ming rubbed his temples and finally calmed down from the state of having "activated a massive number of useless abilities."
Next, he summarized what had happened on Earth.
"In the year I turned twenty-seven, living conditions on Earth deteriorated sharply. Melting glaciers raised sea levels, food shortages and survival crises overlapped, and the international situation continued to unravel..."
"Smoke rose across the major theaters of war. The number of nuclear-armed nations increased rapidly, and the risk of nuclear proliferation skyrocketed."
If the difficulty of manufacturing a hydrogen bomb was 100, that of an atomic bomb might only be 1.
The underlying principle was simply too straightforward. Any physics graduate could calculate the critical threshold for a nuclear explosion. All that remained was enriching uranium with centrifuges.
Even if someone couldn't build one, as long as they had the raw materials, they could cobble together a dirty bomb containing radioactive elements.
Thus, in the fourth year of the supernatural era, as the influence of the great powers steadily declined, small nations had already manufactured atomic bombs!
"Small-scale nuclear weapons were deployed on battlefields, further intensifying conflicts and tensions, as though turning them into eternal hatred."
"But these were only wars between small nations, with limited consequences for the great powers."
