Chapter 53

Crisis Era 18

Digging test deep wells in the Mercury formation is the first large-scale project carried out by humans on an alien world.Since construction can only be carried out during Mercury's 88-day night, the construction period is as long as three Earth years.

But in the end, only one-third of the predetermined depth was excavated, and an unusually hard stratum mixed with metal and rock appeared further down. The progress of further excavation was not only slow, but also costly.

In the end, the Nine Council members and the PDC decided to forcibly end the Mercury Deep Well Project regardless of Rey Diaz's objection.

However, if the test is carried out at the current depth, the formation will definitely be opened by the nuclear explosion, forming a large pit. This is actually a discounted ground test.

And due to the interference of the stratum.Observation of the test effect is much more difficult than a pure ground test.

But Rey Diaz said that if the pit is covered, it can also be used as a base, and still insists on conducting underground tests at the existing depth.

After the three-year period expired, the nuclear explosion test began. Hundreds of millions of tons of rocks were blown away by a star-level hydrogen bomb, and flew into space at the first cosmic speed of Mercury.

This also made Mercury the first terrestrial planet with rings, and Rey Diaz watched the live broadcast of the Mercury nuclear test in the basement where he lived.

He lives in the basement not for safety reasons, but because he suffers from heliophobia, and the claustrophobic environment away from the sun makes him feel more comfortable.

"Mr. President, the psychiatrist you booked is here." Just as Rey Diaz was talking to PDC Chairman Say, a guard came in.

"Tell him to get lost! I didn't make an appointment with a bullshit psychiatrist!" Rey Diaz yelled angrily, grabbing the guard by his collar.

"Mr. Rey Diaz, don't be like this." A steady voice suddenly sounded, obviously a visitor: "I have a way for you to see the sun."

"I" Rey Diaz was just about to start scolding in a rage, when the visitor said, "Because I know your cause, only the two of us in this world know."

Hearing this, Rey Diaz calmed down instantly, showing a kind of stability that did not match his intelligence level and character.

"Let him in." Rey Diaz waved his hand, then slowly stood up, put the red beret on his head, and straightened his collar.

Then he loaded the Makarov pistol on the table, put the pistol in his holster, and waited for the comer.

The visitor was a handsome middle-aged man of European descent, but unfortunately his scruffy appearance and long messy hair reduced his attractiveness.

"Have we met before?"

"It's no surprise Mr. Rey Diaz, before I had long hair, a lot of people said I looked like Superman, the one from the old movies."

"You're not Superman, you're an idiot," Rey Diaz taunted, before lighting a Cuban cigar.

"This kind of meaningless insult can't show anything except your quality, and I'm not a superman. You should already know who I am."

"I think you're an idiot." Rey Diaz stood up from the sofa when he saw the other party looking down at him, and spit a puff of cigarette on the visitor's face.

"Wallfacer Rey Diaz, stop evading with meaningless words, I am your wallbreaker." The other party said proudly.

"Oh? I don't think you broke the wall." Rey Diaz said.

"We'll know right away." The Wallbreaker explained with a smile on his face: "Although you are a tyrannical dictator, compared with Taylor, you are a better strategist and a qualified Wallfacer."

"Thank you for the compliment. Except for the tyrant, I agree with you, but I think I am still very democratic." Rey Diaz said.

"It doesn't matter how you feel, it's like you think you haven't been broken, but you have been broken, please let me continue." The broken person seems to have heard a joke.

"Hurry up and finish the nonsense, so I can send you to prison."

"Okay, you've been madly chasing nuclear weapons, a weapon that's extremely ineffective in space warfare."

"You have successfully concealed your strategic direction through this. For a long time, I couldn't find any clues to decipher your real strategy. I struggled in the maze you set up, and was almost desperate at one point."

After finishing speaking, the Wallbreaker took a deep breath, looked at the smoking Rey Diaz, and continued: "Later, I thought of looking up information about you before you became a Wallfacer, which is not easy, because you can't get Sophon's help."

"You know, the number of sophons that arrived on Earth during that period was limited. As the head of a small Latin American country, you didn't attract their attention. So I had to use conventional means to collect information."

"Among these voluminous documents, I found a strange name—William Cosmo. You have secretly met with him many times. The content of your conversations is not recorded, and I will never know."

"But the head of state of a small underdeveloped country met with a Western astrophysicist three times, which is very unusual. Now I finally know that you have prepared yourself to become a Wallfacer at that time."

Hearing this, Rey Diaz frowned. He knew that the opponent had already seen through his strategic intentions, so he held the handle of the pistol with his right hand.

"You are undoubtedly interested in Dr. Cosmo's research results. I don't know how you noticed that result before, but you are a student of science and engineering, just like Chavez who is keen on ruling the country with engineers Same."

"This is also one of the important reasons why you are still his successor even though you are only a warlord, not a revolutionary, so you should be capable and sensitive enough to notice the potential significance of Cosmo's achievements."

"You said so much, do you think you left?" Rey Diaz interrupted the Wall Breaker.

"Of course I don't think so, but since I dare to come, I'm ready to sacrifice the rest of my life. Please let me continue." The Wall Breaker smiled.

"No! You are going to die!" Rey Diaz suddenly pulled out the Makarov pistol in the holster, and pulled the trigger at the waist of the wallbreaker.

boom!
The bullet pierced the Wall Breaker's body, and the opponent collapsed to the ground in an instant, and Rey Diaz's shot broke his spine.

"You know one thing is very interesting." Looking at the Wall Breaker who fell on the floor, Rey Diaz sneered: "The old version of Superman can fly, can push the earth upside down, but when riding a horse Broken neck!"

"The person who broke his neck was Reeve, the actor who played Superman." Even though he was shot, the Wall Breaker corrected him in a steady tone.
