Chapter 19 (1/2)
”He is a robot created to protect me, and is powered by nuclear fuels. If needed he will even explode to ensure I am safe.” Then he run his eyes through all of them and said, ” I don't think you a wish to die with nuclear radiation.”
When Terrence said all this, all of them shudder.
They shuddered for two reasons. Firstly, they really don't wish to die that way. And secondly, their young boss is a madman to use nuclear energy like that.
Nuclear energy is still widely accepted at this time, even fifty years after the two nuclear attacks from ” Little Boy” and ” Fat Man”.
The two bombs are the only two nuclear weapons ever used in a war, even if many nations now possess the nuclear bomb technology.
The uranium bomb ”Little Boy” and the plutonium bomb” Fat Man” can be very outdated as compared to the power of the current nuclear arsenal yet they have killed thousands of people and affected the lives of millions.
This has put innate fear in humans for this uncontrolled power. Many people leave their home if there is a nuclear power plant around their house because of this fear.
They don't dare to take the risk even if they are given high salary. Of course there are some exceptions. The fact that the robot in front of them is powered by a similar scary power, brought that fear on their face.
” Is it alright to use that power, Terrence?”, James, the head of security asked his old friend and boss.
Terrence wave his hands and ȧssured him not to worry about it. ” The energy is much stable than the current tech used in nuclear power plants and the range of affect is also reduced.
It will only affect a few metre radius area and it will only explode if it is unstable.”
Michael interrupted their talks about the safety of using nuclear energy and other things. He ȧsserted , ”This is not something we should worry about now. Now we need to deal with all their forces.
We know they will attack at a point to penetrate the defense. But we have no idea where they might be. So we have to spread throughout the perimeter.”
Everyone's attention is on him. Although not a genius strategist or battle planner, he is the only one with a plan right now.
So his words attracted everyone's attention.
” We are at a disadvantage now.
There are many ways the enemy can launch the ȧssault. They can press us but because of time they will not do it for long.
The most probable scenario is blitzing. They will attack us at lightning speed. ”
He continued to explain until he is interrupted, ”So this time not one of us will be leading the defense. It will be done by our ȧssistants. They will mobilise the men.”
One of them, who happen to be Clark have some doubts about this plan, ”But how can you be so sure they will target at a single point with full force, instead of testing the strength of the forces at that area. ”
