83: Chapter 83 The Destruction of a Nation by a Small Life

During the following period, Su Fan exchanged two types of Level 2 Civilization black technology from the system.

The first type was the Continental Plate Stabilization Device.

This device can effectively improve the stability of continental plates within a specific area.

After installing the Continental Plate Stabilization Device, the energy from earthquakes of magnitude 8 and below will be reduced by 100%, causing no impact at all.

The ground will not feel any tremors, and even instruments will not be able to detect the slightest earthquake.

For earthquakes above magnitude 8 and up to magnitude 10, the earthquake energy can be reduced by 99%.

As for earthquakes above magnitude 10, apologies, but at that level, the plates themselves would drift, and even a Continental Plate Stabilization Device would be useless.

Although the structure of the Continental Plate Stabilization Device is complex, the principle is simple.

It is inserted deep into the ground to absorb earthquake energy and convert it into electrical energy.

One must know that the Blue Star is active, and the continental plates are constantly fluctuating; the Xia Nation has earthquakes almost every moment, but the magnitudes are small and the impact is negligible, so they are not widely reported.

Once hundreds of Continental Plate Stabilization Devices are installed nationwide, not only will the Xia Nation be free of earthquakes, but it will also produce much more electricity.

It can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone!

The reason for exchanging this black technology was simple: because Star-Devouring Beasts are underground, and they prefer geologically active environments.

Once the Continental Plate Stabilization Devices are installed in the Xia Nation, those Star-Devouring Beasts beneath the nation will definitely leave to live in the geologically active zones they prefer.

The second type of black technology is the Border Energy Wall.

Level 2 Civilizations can already manufacture energy shields, and this Border Energy Wall is a type of energy shield.

Su Fan prepared to deploy Border Energy Walls along the entire coastal region.

Once a Star-Devouring Beast appears in the ocean, it will inevitably cause a massive tsunami.

If energy shields are deployed all along the coast of the Xia Nation, then tsunamis will not be a problem.

Because once this energy wall unfolds, it can protect the range from the ground up to 1,000 meters in the air.

Extremely impressive!

It's worth mentioning that if a tsunami exceeds 1,000 meters, there's no need for defense; just run wherever you can, and if you can't run, just wait for death!

On February 5th, after more than a month of nationwide mobilization and construction, the Super God Group and the Xia Nation officials successfully installed Continental Plate Stabilization Devices across the country and the Border Energy Great Wall in coastal areas.

One has to admit that the mobilization capabilities and talent pool of the Xia Nation officials are still profound; achieving these results in just one month would have been impossible for the Super God Group's personnel alone.

During this month, Su Fan was incredibly busy.

First, besides the Continental Plate Stabilization Device and the Border Energy Wall, he also pushed the officials to release a major policy.

To provide basic living subsidies to all people across the country.

1,000 yuan per person per month!

As soon as this policy was announced, the whole country was in an uproar of excitement.

The state had previously provided food for free, and now it was giving out money for free—and it was 1,000 per person per month, not 1,000 per household.

In today's Xia Nation, due to the explosion of technology, various basic living materials are incredibly cheap.

1,000 yuan for one person is equivalent to a purchasing power of 3,000 to 5,000 in the past.

The cohesion of the entire Xia Nation increased once again!

Secondly, he launched many Quantum Monitoring Satellites into space, monitoring every corner of the globe without any blind spots!

On February 15th, the day before New Year's Eve, a piece of news shocked the world!

Two Star-Devouring Beasts appeared within Japan's borders, one 3,600 meters long and the other 4,300 meters long.

All of Japan was in complete chaos; their land area was already small, and with two three-to-four-thousand-meter Star-Devouring Beasts appearing within their borders, they didn't dare to drop nuclear bombs.

In fact, dropping nuclear bombs would be useless; once they exceed 1,000 meters, Star-Devouring Beasts are considered adults, and nuclear bombs are ineffective!

The location where these two Star-Devouring Beasts appeared was unexpected, yet also within expectations.

Mount Fuji in Japan, a massive active volcano. Beneath this active volcano was the nest of these two Star-Devouring Beasts!

So, when the two Star-Devouring Beasts crawled out from under Mount Fuji, Mount Fuji erupted!

Mount Fuji is located more than 80 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, Japan.

Japan has a total area of 378,000 square kilometers.

Nanyun Province in the Xia Nation has an area of 383,200 square kilometers.

The area of Japan was not even as large as a single province in the Xia Nation.

The eruption of such a large active volcano as Mount Fuji directly affected the entire country.

Furthermore, these Star-Devouring Beasts were adults, much more powerful than the one that appeared in the Eagle Nation last time.

Thus, in just over an hour, Japan was on the verge of national extinction.

At the Xia Nation border, ten mechas stood neatly on the border line.

However, there was no one inside the mechas!

At the Nanshan Base in Lu Province, Su Fan and nine others were lying neatly in Virtual cabins within the underground base, surrounded by various security facilities.

In addition, Zhou Xiaoxiao personally led the core members of the Super God Group, wearing Exoskeletons, to protect the physical bodies of Su Fan and the others.

As soon as the Star-Devouring Beasts appeared in Japan, the monitoring satellites had already sounded the alarm, and Su Fan learned about it immediately through the Red Queen.

He urgently summoned the Mecha Squad members, who had been training for over a month, to enter the Virtual cabins, start the mechas, and quickly fly to the Xia Nation's border.

At the same time, he also notified Zhou Xiaoxiao to activate Emergency Plan No. 3.

He notified the First Elder to ensure the stable operation of the Continental Plate Stabilization Devices and to immediately activate the Border Energy Great Wall.

The Star-Devouring Beasts appeared in Japan; given Japan's geographical location, it could trigger massive earthquakes and tsunamis.

In this way, Su Fan and the 10 mechas stood at the border, quietly watching Japan through built-in screens and live broadcast footage recorded by satellites.

The Xia Nation had already fully evacuated its citizens globally, so there were almost no overseas compatriots in Japan.

Almost none; in fact, there were still some, but these people had already been Japanized and could not be persuaded to return at all.

The Star-Devouring Beasts were still wreaking havoc in Japan; Japan had dispatched all of its national armed forces, but it was still useless.

In despair, they could only ask the Eagle Nation for help.

Unfortunately, the Eagle Nation had no way either, only suggesting that Japan could try high-yield nuclear bombs.

The leaders of Japan were both furious and desperate.

The Eagle Nation was vast and rich in resources; last time, to deal with an 880-meter-tall "small" monster, they used a 6-million-ton yield nuclear bomb.

Now, they had to face two monsters, one over 3,000 meters and one over 4,000 meters; wouldn't they have to increase the yield five or six times, or even more?

With nuclear bombs of tens of millions of tons, would their country's small territory even be enough to survive the blast?

Everyone in Japan was in despair.

But even if they were more desperate, they could not stop the Star-Devouring Beasts.

For a full half-day, the Star-Devouring Beasts plowed through the entirety of Japan.

It could be said that except for some powerful and wealthy people who escaped by plane in time, the rest of the Japanese people were finished.

The whole world fell silent.

Other countries lacked the ability to save them, and the Xia Nation didn't want to.

What a joke; it was good enough not to kick them while they were down; saving Japan would be impossible even in the next life!

Japan, a country that had opposed the Xia Clan since ancient times, was thus wiped out.
