Chapter 1246: Chapter 492: Underwater Nuclear Bomb Chapter 1246: Chapter 492: Underwater Nuclear Bomb Five days later, Yan Fei finally sobered up from the drunken state where he had been mourning Wen Rou. During this period of contemplation, he had come to understand that Wen Rou had left him forever, and pining for her was futile. If Wen Rou were still here, she would surely want Yan Fei to be happy and content, not mired in negativity and waste.

Therefore, Yan Fei decided to pull himself together. Not only did he want to completely rid himself of the mastermind plotting against him in the shadows, but he also aimed to eliminate this hidden enemy. Only by destroying this mastermind could he truly avenge Wen Rou. However, the direct murderer of Wen Rou was The United States of America, and Yan Fei couldn't let them off the hook either; he had to bring The United States of America to its knees.

In the “24-hour war” with the United States of America, although Dream Island seemingly gained the upper hand and reaped huge benefits, it also revealed its greatest weakness. That was Dream Island's lack of a trump card, unable to deliver a decisive blow in the war and completely annihilate The United States of America. In plain terms, Dream Island lacked powerful nuclear weapons to inflict large-scale damage on The United States of America. Had the war not ended quickly, if The United States of America had learned the full details about Dream Island, the island would have had no chance of winning.

After the war, Yan Fei needed to find a way to acquire nuclear weapons. In Yang Qi's knowledge, Dream Island had already possessed the technology to produce nuclear weapons, and he had designed the world's most advanced manufacturing process for nuclear weapons. The artificial whales that provided nuclear fuel for Dream Island's Super Nuclear Power Station were also refining nuclear materials at a depth of 1,000 meters. The purity of these nuclear materials had reached 95%-98%, already suitable for weapons-grade nuclear materials and could be used as raw materials for producing nuclear weapons.

For reasons unknown to Yan Fei, the mini-production workshop's drones had not unlocked the nuclear weapons production capacity; Yang Qi's nuclear weapons production process could not be integrated into the control center of the mini-production workshop. Therefore, even with Dream Island's mature manufacturing process combined with weapons-grade nuclear materials, Yan Fei was still unable to produce nuclear weapons. Even the various equipment produced by the mini-production workshop could not be used directly for nuclear weapons production. Due to these limitations, Yan Fei was simply unable to produce nuclear weapons without others knowing about it.

Through the war with The United States of America, it had become known that Dream Island possessed nuclear weapons. As long as Dream Island kept quiet, no one would make a fuss about it. However, should Dream Island brazenly recruit personnel to produce nuclear weapons, all nations, for safety and political considerations, would sanction Dream Island, overtly or covertly, which would be extremely detrimental to the development of Dream Island. Therefore, to quickly obtain nuclear weapons and enhance its strategic deterrence, Yan Fei had to abandon the conventional means of acquiring them and find a new path.

Fortunately, Yan Fei already had a plan in mind; he just had to implement it. Under his control, the Artificial Intelligence “Dream” began to invade the military systems of The United States of America and Russia, searching through the vast databases of both countries for information about strategic nuclear submarines that had sunk in the ocean over the years.

At the peak of the Cold War between The United States of America and Russia, they both produced numerous strategic nuclear submarines, carrying nuclear weapons and constantly patrolling the oceans' depths to ensure a nuclear retaliation capability in case of an attack from the other side. During these strategic patrols, there were several major submarine malfunctions and sinkings. Along with these submarines, a large number of nuclear bombs went down to the ocean floor.

These submarine disasters were grave, but to prevent panic among their populations, both The United States of America and Russia chose to conceal the events. As a result, save for one or two incidents that were exposed by the media, the rest of the sunken strategic submarines remained unknown to the public.

Artificial Intelligence “Dream” sought the exact locations of these sunken strategic submarines. After a comprehensive confrontation with the invading unknown Artificial Intelligence and subsequently gaining complete control over The United States of America's territory, “Dream” underwent a significant increase in intelligence. Supported by the computational power of the Super Photon Computer, “Dream” truly became divine in the internet, quickly extracting precise data about the sunken submarines from the vast sea of information.

Over the decades of Cold War confrontation, The United States of America had lost a total of eight strategic nuclear submarines, five of them carrying nuclear weapons, with a combined total of 220 nuclear bombs. Russia had lost 12 strategic nuclear submarines, with eight carrying nuclear weapons, containing a total of 360 nuclear bombs.

This meant that, according to the data Yan Fei obtained, there were 580 nuclear bombs lying on the ocean floor within the great oceans. If Yan Fei could salvage these 580 nuclear bombs and carefully repair and maintain them, Dream Island would immediately possess a massive nuclear arsenal, truly capable of deterring The United States of America with nuclear power. Thus, while Dream Island would seem quiet on the surface, it would actually have become a nuclear power.

In the following ten days, Yan Fei dispatched his Drone Avatars, starting the underwater search in the territorial waters where the nuclear submarines had sunk. With accurate intelligence and the powerful capabilities of the Quantum Radar, they found all but one of the nuclear submarines that carried nuclear weapons; it had sunk to an inaccessible depth of 8,000 meters. The remaining 12 submarines were all located by the drones.
