The system handed me over to the state.

Bronya chuckled a few times. "It's only a matter of time. Alright, I'm going to work now. Now that you've adjusted your mindset, keep up the good work. I'll try my best to get you driving Paradox in five months."

Bronya then ended the call, stood up, and looked at Einstein, asking, "What's wrong?"

Einstein tapped his tablet and said, "This morning, we experimentally activated the Sigma Array. The experiment went smoothly, everything was normal, but when we inspected the energy channels inside the Sigma Array, we discovered this."

Einstein turned the tablet around, and Bronya's eyes nearly popped out the moment she saw what was on it.

"This is... a Type 38 rifle?!"

Einstein asked with great interest, "Do you recognize this thing?"

Bronya nodded. These were practically standard weapons in those anti-Japanese war dramas. Back then, the two things she remembered most vividly were the Type 99 light machine gun and the Type 38 rifle.

"Why is this thing... over there by the energy pipeline? This isn't a product of our time."

Next, Bronya briefly recounted the events of that era to Einstein, and after listening, Einstein quickly came up with a possibility.

That was when the Sigma Array was experimentally activated, tearing through time and sending things from the past timeline here.

Bronya nodded. Her guess was pretty much right. It was probably a product of the past. Speaking of which... the Parallel World Management Department hadn't been there for a long time, so they weren't very clear about the situation there. They wondered how the newly discovered Shenzhou world was doing.

..............

“We have communicated with the Soviet Union, and they have agreed with our plan and indicated that they have adopted it internally and are ready to implement it.”

"Their camp is now complete, and they have begun to assemble their troops in preparation for an attack. We must be ready!"

Inside the command post, three generals stared at the screen in front of them as drones recorded the enemy troops gathering from high above.

The heavily armored soldiers, nearly 3 meters tall and imposing, approached the warriors clad in partial power armor; the mages, concealing their forms and appearances and surrounded by black mist; and most importantly, the leader standing before the enemy lines, seemingly giving a speech.

"Shall we begin?"

"Let's begin the operation. Our troops are already on standby 20 kilometers away. The tactical nuclear bomb has a kill radius of only 10 kilometers. We are in a safe zone, and in half an hour, our soldiers will be able to enter the bombing zone for the final harvest."

Mu Ziming took a deep breath, looked at the red button that represented launch, and slapped it down without hesitation!

A soldier nuclear missile silo hundreds of kilometers away immediately received the order. The two launchers exchanged a glance and began the countdown together.

"3...2...1!"

In the final moment, the two simultaneously turned the launch key, and the nuclear missile waiting in the tactical nuclear silo ignited instantly, slowly rising into the air. While in mid-air, it suddenly accelerated and rushed into the sky.

In the operations command center, the red dot representing the tactical nuclear missile was seen flying rapidly in the holographic image.

Everyone was on edge, and time seemed to slow down as they anxiously hoped to hit the target.

At the same time, General Tolliver, who was giving his speech, suddenly felt a pang of panic. He stopped his speech, somewhat puzzled. What was wrong? Why did he suddenly feel panicked?

Just as he was feeling confused, he instinctively looked up and saw a tactical nuclear missile, trailing a long, fiery tail, hurtling towards them from above. Tolliver immediately shouted, "Everyone, into defensive stance! Legion mages, raise your shields! We..."

However, the nuclear bomb was falling too fast. The moment Tolliver saw it, before he could finish speaking, the tactical nuclear bomb exploded in the outpost camp!

Unparalleled heat and light erupted instantly in the center of the camp! General Tolliver used all his strength to resist the terrifying light and heat, but for the Shadow Empire, the light and heat, which were almost a fatal weakness, made him experience the feeling of losing his life for the first time.

"General!"

Suddenly, a faint sound, barely audible, reached his ears amidst the roaring noise. He suddenly realized that a special shield had appeared on his body. Tolliver could only shout his adjutant's name in sorrow and anger.

"Do not!!!!"

Chapter 331: The Power of Technology

The mushroom cloud rose into the sky and disappeared without a trace after a few dozen seconds. This is the tactical nuclear weapon that China has improved. The light and heat at the moment of explosion are the most destructive. The mushroom cloud only rises into the sky for a few dozen seconds and then dissipates naturally.

The remaining radiation will quickly degrade and enter the earth, then solidify into green crystals. These crystals do not emit radiation outward; instead, they absorb the residual radiation in the vicinity.

Afterwards, these crystals can be recycled and then brought into contact with specific elements to achieve harmless disposal.

This is also one of the biggest factors that enabled China to launch this tactical nuclear missile, because tactical nuclear missiles will no longer have a serious impact on the environment, and the situation where land cannot be used for a hundred years will never happen again.

"Alright, send the troops up in half an hour to prepare to deal with the remaining forces. I don't believe they'll all die in this attack."

"Also, dispatch the Thunder God gunship squadron to attack the fleet hidden in the clouds. Don't they like to use clouds to hide themselves? Then let's use their own weapons to defeat them!"

Mu Ziming did not believe that a single tactical nuclear bomb could annihilate the entire enemy force. Although it sounded absurd that there would be survivors after such a powerful tactical nuclear bomb, the magical civilization they were facing was absurd in itself.

If the enemy can even summon meteors to attack them, then why is it impossible for them to survive a tactical nuclear bombardment?

And the reality was pretty much as Mu Ziming had predicted.

A huge crater was formed in the wasteland after the bombardment, and General Tolliver's hands stretched out of the soil from the crater, and he pulled himself out with force.

He brushed the mud off his body and stared blankly at everything around him.

Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion, but he knew very well it wasn't. Their enemy had used a terrifying weapon to completely destroy their outpost...

"Where! There's no one left! It's the general!"

Suddenly, shouts came from behind him. Tolliver turned around blankly and saw several heavily armed soldiers and a legionary mage charging towards him.

With the help of heavily armed soldiers, Tolliver stood up and finally saw most of the pit he was in. "What...what happened?"

Tolliver's voice trembled as the legionary mage lamented, "General, it's all gone. Our entire outpost has been wiped out. There are no survivors except you..."

Tolliver's expression turned blank. He looked around, his words filled with disbelief, "No...this can't be..."

However, before the general could finish speaking, a sudden roar from the sky once again put the people on the ground on edge. The mage immediately shouted, "General! Leave immediately! The army of Shenzhou is approaching! Half of our mages have been lost here. You cannot die here too!"

As he spoke, a heavily armed soldier lifted the general and ran towards the floating wooden ship in the distance, but before they had run far, a missile suddenly blew the wooden ship up right in front of them!

The magician stared at the crimson flames that had turned the wooden boat into flames, his eyes filled with despair. Heavy footsteps echoed in their ears as several infantry fighting mechs surrounded them.

The heavily armored soldiers immediately dropped their Tolliver armor and prepared to fight back, but the next moment, a scorching beam of light suddenly shot out from the top of these mechs.

It's not a laser! It's pure, brilliant light and heat!

The heavily armored soldiers, instantly illuminated by the light, began to smoke, but they still did not choose to retreat. They brandished their weapons and engaged in close combat with the mechs that were almost as tall as themselves.

However, the mech operators began their operations. Knowing the terrifying power of these heavily armored soldiers, they had no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation. No matter how the heavily armored soldiers roared, how they howled, or how they swung their heavy swords, they maintained a distance from the mechs.

These modified Titan Signal infantry fighting mechs, which can carry pilots and are like powered armor, are as agile as a martial arts master, dodging to the side, taking a step back, charging, and instantly crouching down. The other heavily armored soldiers in the battle have the same experience; they feel like toys.

A toy being played with by these Chinese people!

The heavily armored soldiers roared in resentment, demanding that these Shenzhou people engage them in direct combat. However, the Shenzhou warriors were not fools; energy blades on their arms instantly sprang out and attacked the gaps in the heavily armored soldiers' armor.

In less than five minutes, one heavily armored soldier after another fell to the onslaught of the mechs. Their armor was indeed sturdy, and the energy blades struggled to cut through the magically enhanced armor. However, their armor had gaps, so when each heavily armored soldier died, although the outer armor was intact, the person inside was riddled with holes from the energy blades' attacks.

Tolliver stared blankly at the mechs that had surrounded him. He hadn't even recovered from the bombardment yet. After one of the mechs knocked him unconscious with a punch and put him in a special cell to prevent his escape, Tolliver returned with the heavy armored soldiers and the corpse of the legionary mage.

Meanwhile, the remaining troops, still waiting in the dark clouds, already knew the situation was dire. They had observed the arrival of the Shenzhou army and the loss of contact with the rescue team from high above.

However, they remained confident that the dark clouds could interfere with Shenzhou's missile attacks, as well as the electronic instruments inside the missiles, and that lightning would destroy these missiles.

This is the countermeasure they developed after studying the technology of this world!

But just as the fleet commander was preparing to launch a counterattack from high altitude, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck their ships directly from the dark clouds.

The fleet commander was completely dumbfounded! Wait a minute! Why are the magically manipulated clouds attacking them?!

Moreover, the frequency of the lightning increased, and the fleet commander angrily shouted at his mages, "Where are the mages? Are the mages just sitting around doing nothing? Why is our magic attacking ourselves!"

However, the magician's answer infuriated the fleet commander.

"Our...our magic has gone out of control! The clouds are no longer under our control!"

However, before the fleet commander could finish his curse, several bolts of lightning struck his location, instantly turning him into a wisp of smoke.

The Thor gunboat squadron above the dark clouds, watching the lightning flashing continuously within them, could foresee the destruction of the enemy's fragile wooden ships, even those enhanced by magic.

Chapter 332: Hurrah!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Soviet battlefield...

The heavily armored soldier stared in horror at the Soviet soldiers charging at him, brandishing energy shovels, sickles, and even clubs. Hearing their chilling shouts of "Hurrah!", the heavily armored soldier, overwhelmed by the terrifying sonic attack, abandoned his weapon and turned to flee!

Yes, this was the meat grinder-like war on the Soviet front. Instead of using tactical missiles to destroy the enemy's ground forces, the Soviet Union directly used several tactical nuclear bombs to attack the enemy's fleet hidden in the clouds, cutting off their retreat!

After the fleet was destroyed, the Soviet steel torrent and infantry charged towards their enemies with shouts of "Hurrah!" Facing the Shadow Empire's magical bombardment and the heavy armor soldiers who could take down Soviet warriors with a single punch, they continued their fearless charge!

The tanks fired as they charged toward the enemy lines, their deafening roars sending shivers down the spines of the shadowy commander in charge of the operation. Each shout made his body tremble like a leaf.

He had served in the military for nearly a thousand years and fought against the armies of several civilizations! But he had never seen such a terrifying, almost suicidal attack!

These Soviet Union fighters unleashed their fury upon the enemy with only their energy weapons and rifles, their eyes burning with fire, like demons from the underworld!

The heavily armored soldiers initially provided a very effective defensive line; no matter how many men charged forward, these fearless soldiers met only one fate: death.

However, the tide of battle began to turn after dozens of tanks broke through the mages' firepower.

These tanks charged directly into the line of heavily armored soldiers at top speed. Although the Soviet Union's tanks were equipped with the Iron Dragon and Future Tanks, which were based on cutting-edge technology from China, they preferred to ram their own tanks with stronger, harder armor and thicker cannons.

This led to the birth of the most terrifying tank in Soviet history, the Black Behemoth!

This black behemoth weighs three times as much as the Shenzhou Zhurong main battle tank, and its internal engine uses two nuclear fusion reactors.

The top speed can reach 100 kilometers per hour!

These black behemoths smashed into the unsuspecting heavily armored soldiers at high speed, sending them flying! Then they headed straight for the legion mages behind the soldiers!

The tanks' terrifying weight crushed the mages in their path, turning them into mincemeat. Even though the heavily armored soldiers and mages reacted and cleared the tanks, the drivers' mad actions detonated the nuclear fusion engines inside the tanks, causing a secondary explosion.

It was at this moment that gaps began to appear in the firepower network organized by the mages, and more and more Soviet soldiers and black behemoths broke through the defenses.

In less than an hour, the lines of the Shadow Empire's elite army collapsed completely. The heavily armored soldiers were relentlessly attacked by wave after wave of Soviet warriors using energy weapons. As soon as one died, another would rush in, attacking even more frantically than before.

Many heavily armored soldiers were even slowly killed by these energy weapons, which pierced through the gaps in their armor.

This was a crazy battle, an extremely crazy battle.

.............

"What! The elite troops have been completely wiped out!"

The empress suddenly stood up from her throne, her face even paler, while the prime minister beside her was also in shock.

The generals below began to tremble as they spoke, “Yes…yes…Your Majesty…our elite troops in Shenzhou…suddenly lost all contact with us. There are no survivors, and no intelligence has been sent back. It’s as if they vanished into thin air…”

"And...and...the Soviet Union...over there...the soldiers over there...they're absolutely insane! They're demons from the underworld! They've all gone mad!"
