Chapter 295: A Single Swing of the Blade, and All Things

With the tactical neutron bomb deployed, it was essential to understand that although it was a nuclear weapon, it was a third-generation one.

It didn’t significantly damage vehicles but was highly lethal to personnel and left minimal pollution.

Neutron radiation from such a bomb essentially dissipated within fifteen minutes.

The residual radiation was low, making it a relatively ’clean’ nuclear weapon.

As one of the nine nations possessing nuclear capabilities, the Americans had an arsenal that included nuclear weapons.

However, tactical neutron bombs were not in their inventory.

Otherwise, they would have deployed one themselves.

Given their isolation, with no friends and only foes in their vicinity, they wouldn’t have hesitated to deploy a tactical neutron bomb against their neighbors, despite the cost.

The American upper echelons weren’t easily satisfied, especially when it came to deploying nuclear weapons.

This endeavor would cost them dearly.

Half an hour later, a round bomb, equipped with a parachute, was released from a B-2 stealth bomber.

Below was the speeding mech. Tang Rui, watching from home, witnessed the

But he didn’t take any action.

It was just a tactical neutron bomb—a minor concern.

The mech he built might not have withstood a direct hit from a massive Ivan, but it could easily withstand neutron bombs.

Neither electromagnetic pulses nor neutron radiation affected the mech.

And as for the light, heat, and shockwave from the bomb’s explosion, they were negligible.

Satellites from around the world were watching the mech.

When they saw the tactical neutron bomb, everyone grabbed their popcorn, eager to witness the outcome.

It had been years since humanity first deployed nuclear weapons on the battlefield.

Now, it was happening again.

Everyone wondered what the outcome would be this time.

Thirty-odd seconds later…

Boom!

The tactical neutron bomb exploded.

A miniature sun rose in the sky, its powerful light and heat illuminating the earth with an intense glow.

The mech below was immediately bombarded with radioactive particles.

However, these charged particles were all deflected by the mech’s strong magnetic field.

As for the uncharged neutrons… after passing through the magnetic field, the outer armor, and three layers of buffer devices, were also blocked by a layer of neutron shielding metal.

As the mushroom cloud slowly rose, the view on the ground was completely obscured, and everyone awaited the outcome.

However, as the light faded, before the mushroom cloud had even dissipated, a massive mech burst out from beneath it.

The black mech with red trim lines, emitting steam from the high temperature, continued running towards Syria.

At that moment, countless onlookers dropped their popcorn in shock.

So much for the highly-touted neutron bomb, purportedly capable of killing an entire city in an instant.

It had barely any effect on the mech, which at most experienced a rise in surface temperature and emitted some smoke.

But that smoke was merely condensation clouds formed by hot air meeting cold. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂

It wasn’t a sign of the mech burning.

Thus, the tactical neutron bomb had been a lonely display.

Not entirely useless, it confirmed that neutron bombs indeed had limited destructive capability against vehicles.

Simultaneously, a new problem presented itself to everyone.

How could the mech be neutralized?

Missiles were ineffective and tactical neutron bombs were useless.

Was close combat the only option?

How would one engage in close combat with a mech eighty-plus meters tall and weighing over a thousand tons?

With elite soldiers?

That would be like using a throwing star against a giant.

Nations were still pondering how to restrict or destroy the mech when the American Congress fell into silence.

They were out of options—their trump card was now just ordinary first-generation mushroom bombs; they didn’t even have tactical nukes.

In the past, even as they faced global hostility, the Middle Eastern Coalition’s repeated attacks were easily repelled with American support.

But now, even the Americans had no solution.

The mech was clearly impervious unless struck by a high-yield nuclear weapon.

Yet no one dared use such weapons.

Tactical neutron bombs were one thing, as their radiation dissipated quickly and were easy to manage.

But deploying mushroom bombs on foreign soil was a different story.

That would be courting disaster.

At least the Middle Eastern Coalition would not approve. Despite their lackluster military prowess, they had once purchased rockets.

If the use of mushroom bombs were permitted, it would inevitably lead to a catastrophe.

So, even if America was offered a lot of money, they wouldn’t agree. After all, the enemy only had one mech, with limited destructive power. They could simply rebuild after the war.

But using a nuclear bomb was out of the question.

It wasn’t just America, but other major nations also issued warnings-war was war, but don’t play with fire.

Conventional warfare was one thing, but to use a tactical neutron bomb was already stretching tolerance. Any further and they would be forced to intervene.

The last one who dared so boldly was now almost in high school.
