the command center was all business as the final moments ticked down. richard’s eyes were fixed on the digital map, tracking the ss-18 satan missile’s stark red line as it cut across the screen towards the tianhe district.

”missile inbound, t-minus thirty seconds,” sara relayed the status.

”prepare for visual confirmation of impact,” richard ordered steadily, betraying no hint of the adrenaline that was likely pumping through his veins. the command center was silent now, all eyes on the main screen, where a countdown appeared beside the image of the tianhe district, a dense cluster of digital blips representing the zombie population.

as the counter hit zero, the feed switched to a satellite view. the missile, a brief flash on the screen, met its target. an immense eruption of light and energy bloomed on the display.

”direct hit,” sara confirmed. ”tianhe district impact confirmed.”

the room remained silent for a moment longer, absorbing the magnitude of what they had just witnessed. then, slowly, the silence was broken by the sound of keyboards clicking and murmurs as analysts began their work, calculating the impact of the strike.

richard leaned forward, his focus unbroken. ”status report,” he demanded.

sara quickly analyzed the data, ”based on initial assessments, the missile strike has been extremely effective. the density of the zombie population in the tianhe district was high. we’re seeing an almost total elimination in the targeted area.”

richard nodded, processing the information. ”numbers, i need the numbers.” n--o--v))e..l//b.(1.(n

he checked the numbers in his system and from that strike, he killed?1,150,000 zombies. two thousand gold coins and 160 experience points per zombie, translates to 2,300,000,000 gold coins and 184,000,000 experience points added to his gold balance and experience points.

richard absorbed the information, a subtle nod acknowledging the successful outcome. he checked his updated stats.

richard’s eyes scanned the updated information on the screen. level 46 is now, a significant jump, and the additional skill points would be vital for further enhancements. his gold balance had skyrocketed, which he believed was enough to buy more powerful nukes.

in the last three strikes, richard was using a w-60 low-yield tactical nuke and an ss-18 satan. it would have been a waste if they kept doing this tactic where he would arm an ss-18 satan that has the capacity to carry more powerful warheads with just a low-yield nuke like the w-60. as richard pondered over this, he realized the potential for increasing the efficiency of their operations.

so, he went to his shop tab and browsed for some options.

one of the options he considered was the rs-28 sarmat, priced at 50 million gold coins. this missile is equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (mirv) technology, capable of carrying 10-15 heavy or 24 light warheads, each designed to strike separate targets. the payload is approximately 10,000 kg, with an intercontinental range of up to 18,000 km. its guidance system integrates inertial navigation with glonass (russian gps), offering enhanced accuracy. the rs-28 sarmat also boasts advanced countermeasures like decoys and jamming capabilities to evade missile defense systems.

another potential choice is the minuteman iii, valued at 45 million gold coins. this missile features 3 w87-1 warheads, each with a 300-kiloton yield, and uses mirv for targeting multiple locations. the payload is about 1,150 kg, and it has a range of approximately 13,000 km. the minuteman iii’s guidance system is an inertial navigation system, updated by a digital avionics system for precise targeting. it is known for its high operational readiness and rapid-launch capability.

the df-41 (dongfeng-41), with a price tag of 55 million gold coins, can carry up to 10 mirv warheads with variable yields, allowing for the engagement of multiple targets. it has an estimated payload of 2,500 kg and a range of around 14,000-15,000 km. the missile uses inertial navigation supplemented with satellite guidance from the beidou navigation satellite system. its road-mobile platform enables unpredictable deployment, adding a layer of strategic advantage.

the trident ii d5, priced at 60 million gold coins, is capable of holding up to 14 w88 or w76 thermonuclear warheads, each offering an option of 475 kt or 100 kt yield. it has a payload of approximately 2,800 kg and a range of over 12,000 km. the missile’s guidance system combines inertial navigation with stellar sighting for course correction, and it is launched from ohio-class submarines, making it stealthy and survivable.

lastly, richard looked at the agm-183a arrw, costing 35 million gold coins. it’s a hypersonic missile exceeding mach 5, designed for precision strikes with a conventional payload. the range extends over 1,000 km. the missile’s guidance system features a gps-aided inertial navigation system with terminal guidance for pinpoint accuracy. it is air-launched, providing versatility in deployment from various aircraft.

continuing his search for more formidable nuclear options, richard scrolled through the available warheads in his system interface, each with its distinct specifications and strategic capabilities.

the first one that caught his attention was the b83 nuclear bomb, priced at 40 million gold coins. the b83 is one of the most powerful nuclear weapons in the u.s. arsenal, with a yield of up to 1.2 megatons. it’s designed for high-altitude airburst or ground burst detonations. the bomb features a variable yield, allowing for selective control over the magnitude of the explosion, making it versatile for different tactical situations. its weight is approximately 1,100 kg, and it can be delivered by various aircraft platforms.

next, richard examined the w88 warhead, valued at 45 million gold coins. this warhead is designed for the trident ii d5 ballistic missile system. it has a yield of 475 kilotons, combining substantial destructive power with compact size. the w88’s relatively small dimensions enable it to be fitted with advanced safety and security features, including a sophisticated arming and fuzing mechanism. its design emphasizes precision and reduced collateral damage.

another option was the rds-37, a soviet-era thermonuclear bomb, offered for 50 million gold coins. this two-stage hydrogen bomb has a yield of approximately 1.6 megatons. it was initially designed for long-range delivery systems and is notable for its significant blast radius. the rds-37’s design includes a radiation implosion first stage, followed by a fusion secondary stage, making it a potent addition to any arsenal.

richard also considered the foab (father of all bombs), a thermobaric weapon listed at 55 million gold coins. though not a nuclear bomb in the traditional sense, the foab is one of the most powerful conventional bombs, with a yield equivalent to 44 tons of tnt. it uses a unique fuel-air explosive to generate a high-temperature blast with a prolonged duration, effectively incinerating targets within a large radius. its massive shockwave and intense heat make it particularly effective against entrenched positions.

lastly, he looked at the tsar bomba, the largest and most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated, priced at an astronomical 100 million gold coins. the tsar bomba, developed by the soviet union, had a yield of 50 megatons, though it was theoretically capable of up to 100 megatons. this massive air-dropped bomb was designed primarily for its psychological impact and demonstrated the peak of cold war nuclear capabilities. due to its size and yield, the tsar bomba was impractical for actual warfare but served as a symbol of ultimate destructive power.

”this is going to be hard,” richard muttered under his breath.
