I'm the boss because I have a harem of anime characters.

"Let's go check out the armory across the street!"

Good things only have value when shared, so Qin Shan decided to ask the other party to share them with him.

Would the Soviet troops on the other side agree to this?

Hey, they definitely won't refuse, right, Lexington?

"Look, even Su Xiu is very understanding."

In a rear warehouse of the Soviet army, Qin Shan looked at his spoils of war with a smile on his face, while next to him were the corpses of more than a hundred Soviet soldiers. There was nothing he could do; they refused to be deaf and blind, so they had no choice but to report to Comrade Lenin.

Oh dear, I forgot, they are Soviet revisionists, they don't have that qualification, tsk tsk tsk.

Xiao Zhai has hacked into the warehouse's intelligent management system. After gaining the highest level of access, he directly blocked the information here, turning it into a local area network. Unless someone from the Soviet Union comes to check in person, both the monitoring footage and sensor signals indicate that everything here is normal.

Necessary camouflage and shielding work is essential; otherwise, once the signal to the rear warehouse is lost, the enemy will immediately assume it has been captured. Once it is confirmed that personnel cannot be contacted, artillery fire will be launched directly. In any case, the supplies cannot be given away to the enemy even if they are used for fireworks.

Of course, Lexington can provide a shield, but there's no need to blow it up into a mess of smoke and dust when Xiao Zhai can easily handle it with information technology.

"Start moving them, send them all to the island base."

Qin Shan opened the Abyss Gate, while Lexington deployed her ship equipment. Xiao Luo also came to help, and Richelieu and Saratoga on the other side were also ready. In less than ten minutes, the warehouse was so empty that mice could starve to death.

The most valuable assets are undoubtedly the intelligent weapon units, but Qin Shan desires the industrial mother machines here even more.

That thing is a gem of manufacturing, but it's definitely not available on the battlefield; you have to go behind enemy lines to open treasure chests.

Just as Qin Shan felt he should continue to study Comrade Stalin's Caucasian classical financing techniques in greater depth, Xiao Zhai suddenly reported:

"Admiral, we have intercepted the enemy's encrypted signal. They are about to launch an attack using something called a collapse bomb."

"Collapse bomb? That's an interesting name. Can you find any information about it?"

"There are no relevant resources on the public internet, but similar things were found in some encrypted databases."

"What is it?"

"Collapse fluid is a special substance that can cause special radiation effects and disintegration characteristics."

"This name... could it be that this is the world of Girls' Frontline?"

Qin Shan chuckled and shrugged, inwardly unconvinced. After all, in games, technology only requires background setting and well-written logic for players to accept. But reality is a math problem; it either works or it doesn't, and I'm not allowed to ponder it.

Just then, a mushroom cloud rose in the distance, caused by the landing of a collapse bomb.

Almost at the same time, the smile on Qin Shan's face disappeared, replaced by seriousness.

Just moments ago, that place gave him the feeling of a massive abyss gate forming. Although this feeling was extremely brief, so brief that one might wonder if it was an illusion, Qin Shan, a veteran of countless battles, could absolutely distinguish between illusion and intuition.

"Let's go take a look!"

Before leaving, Qin Shan ordered Lexington to blow up all the warehouses in the area, giving the enemy the illusion that the other side was retaliating.

Anyway, it was fried very cleanly, so let's just consider it as helping Su Xiu settle his debts.

You should thank Brother Qin Shan!

Section 32: Nobody Believes You Even When You Tell the Truth

"Cough cough cough, damn it, those bastards even dared to use collapse bombs."

Having lost his wife (left hand), Gail turned over and struggled to sit in the corner.

At this point, he didn't have much energy left to move. The enemy was using collapse bombs, which weren't originally considered weapons, but rather a material compression and reduction technology. You could think of them as similar to the capsules in Dragon Ball. On the surface, they're just small gadgets, weighing the same as ordinary capsules, but once unfolded, they can immediately restore the material form and mass.

The problem is that this technology has many difficulties. To truly achieve the level of Dragon Ball, countries are still in the stage of using their imagination. But humans have a unique characteristic: controllable energy can be used to boil water, while uncontrollable energy can be used as a bomb. Thus, the collapse bomb was born.

Because this technology was developed in a very short time, it is generally in a state of being both classified and not classified. To put it bluntly, it is indeed classified, but the level of secrecy is not high. Just like nuclear bombs, knowing the principle is useless. Nuclear materials and production processes are the key. These two combined, just in terms of power generation alone, can eliminate 90% of the world's countries. Power plants are a part of infrastructure, which involves industrial production and process materials technology. With each link in the chain, you will find that the prerequisite for nuclear weapons is a complete modern industrial system.

Similarly, the preparation conditions for collapse fluid are also the same. Xiaozhai couldn't find any relevant information about collapse fluid on the public Internet. It's not that this thing is so mysterious, it's just that it's young and hasn't had time to be exposed to the world yet.

It's said that probably no more than 50% of the world's population knows about nuclear weapons. This isn't just empty criticism; the level of education in Third World countries is far worse than we can imagine. One major reason for this is that these countries simply don't have enough industries that require highly educated professionals. Even if they produced a bunch of university graduates, they couldn't afford to support them all, and the money would end up going to other countries. It's better for them to stick to light industry, at least they can make a living in normal times.

Stop looking. They're talking about those Latin American countries, America's backyard, blood slaves being bleed.

For Gale, his life was now on a countdown. He knew about collapse bombs, but he didn't need to know too much. He only needed to know that these things emitted terrifyingly powerful and destructive radiation during the explosion. He knew about radiation; he was doomed.

"It seems I need to go report to Comrade Lenin. Cough cough, I hope Father and Mother won't be too sad."

As Gail muttered to himself, he reached into his pocket, squeezed out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then discovered that the pocket containing the lighter was torn and the lighter was gone.

He was silent for a few seconds, then laughed and cursed, "Sukabul."

"We meet again, what a coincidence!"

Gail struggled to lift her head and saw the young man who had knocked her unconscious and kidnapped her earlier.

"It's you."

"You look terrible. Don't move, let me treat you."

"Cough cough, don't waste your energy. I'm injured by radiation from the collapse bomb, and I'm beyond saving."

"Don't say anything yet. Your situation is...tsk tsk tsk, interesting."

Qin Shan discovered that the body of the Soviet soldier in front of him was undergoing a mutation. This mutation was very similar to the physical changes that occur during the awakening of a superhuman, but it was completely disordered.

To put it simply, orderly mutation is awakening, while disorderly mutation is loss of control; these are the two paths to transcendence.

Doesn't it resemble the relationship between normal cells and cancer cells?

In fact, the two are very similar. However, the power of transcendent awakening comes from another dimension. At least in the real world, there is no such thing as spiritual energy revival or spiritual energy awakening. During the awakening process, the body of a transcendent is connected to another energy-filled space in a certain dimension. However, before the seventh level, this connection is not stable, so the energy of a transcendent individual is limited. After the seventh level, this connection becomes stable, which allows the transcendent to achieve a qualitative leap.

The above research content comes from Qin Shan's memories from his previous life. After all, humanity had been researching the extraordinary in the real world for more than 300 years. Apart from the factor of the abyss descending, it was already clear whether the original real world had the conditions for the awakening of the extraordinary.

Some scholars have even hypothesized that superhumans themselves are mobile portals to the abyss, only lacking the ability to teleport.

This statement is too extreme and there are no cases to prove it. However, Qin Shan agrees that most of the energy of superhumans comes from another dimension. After all, he himself can enter higher dimensions to observe. He went to such a world when he was at the ninth level, a strange space filled with superhuman energy.

How about we call it subspace? (smiles)

Enough of the digressions. In short, the so-called radiation damage from the collapse bomb is actually the spread of supernatural power. Ordinary people do not have the power to resist supernatural power, which will cause terrible mutations and destruction. There is a very low probability of supernatural awakening, and a very high probability of supernatural loss of control and annihilation. Gale's luck is obviously not that of a protagonist. He is about to lose control.

However, he encountered Qin Shan before he lost control, and Qin Shan happened to know how to handle this kind of situation, so he was extremely lucky. In a novel, this would be like falling off a cliff and picking up a secret manual.

After suppressing the extraordinary power and eliminating its influence, the rest can be left to the body's self-healing ability. However, considering that the current location is a battlefield, Qin Shan also activated two recovery skills that ordinary people can use.

After all, supernatural power can be applied to all living beings, so as long as the dosage is controlled, it is possible to give ordinary people a buff without any side effects. However, the gap between ordinary people and superhumans is too great. Even if Geralt has two rows of buffs on his head, like a hard-boiled egg after eating magic potions, he can only become a temporary first-level superhuman at most. When Qin Shan entered the seventh level, fourth and fifth-level superhumans were not to say that they were everywhere, but at least one in a hundred. By the ninth level, they were one in ten.

"OK, you're cured. Get up and walk around a bit."

Gail was completely stunned. As the person directly involved, he could clearly feel that his body had fully recovered, his energy and spirit at their peak, even better than when he was at his best. What kind of tova was this!?

Don't worry about it, just smile. We should laugh our way to the top.

"You...I...thank you!"

Saying thank you for saving my life is not too much to ask, but offering myself in return is not an option. He's not English, and effeminate men won't do either.

He lost a girlfriend (left hand), but fortunately he can still have a monogamous relationship (right hand). He survived the attack of the collapsing bomb and was healed. Whether it was a miracle or magic, it's good that he survived.

"Where is your left hand? If we pick it up now, we can put it back together."

“No need. I can’t find her myself. Anyway, prosthetic technology is quite advanced now, so I don’t have to worry about not having a hand to use in the future. By the way, my name is Gale Petrovich Ivanov. Just call me Gale.” Gale, who had miraculously survived, smiled and extended his right hand.

"Hello, Gail, my name is Qin Shan."

"Qin Shan? Are you from Central Asia or Southern Jiangsu? Sorry, I think you guys are a bit face-blind."

"Neither. I am a visitor from another world."

"Haha, that's a really funny joke."

Gail didn't press further, but in her heart she had already assumed Qin Shan was from southern Jiangsu.

After all, the Soviet South Republic was the most powerful industrial republic under the new Soviet Union system, and its autonomy was also the highest among the new Soviet Union. When the Communist Party of the Soviet Union rose again, the Soviet South Republic also carried out a second revolution, but they killed even more people. It is said that more than seven million people were wiped out. In the Han Dynasty, that would have been the strict execution of three generations of a family.

However, the cost was also extremely high. Of the 1.6 billion people in southern Jiangsu, less than 800 million remain. During that brutal civil war, the revisionist faction in southern Jiangsu even used nuclear bombs to bomb the mainland. However, the new generation of revolutionaries in southern Jiangsu was more determined and persistent. When one chairman died, another took his place, and they resolutely fought a war with the enemy that was almost mutually assured destruction. In the end, they crushed the revisionist faction to the point of collapse. They would rather commit suicide with their families than fight any longer. Those who fled overseas did not have a good end and all died without a burial place.

Therefore, in the new Soviet system, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia were the most difficult to deal with and the most untouchable. Even today, when Westerners talk about the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, their legs tremble. In that war, the new Soviet Union was at most ruthless, while the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia were completely insane, displaying the martial spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties. If you dare to interfere with me, I will blow you up. Anyway, the Pandora's box of nuclear weapons has been opened. At worst, we can just add a few hundred more and continue the war in hell.

In this civil war in the new Soviet Union, both the Soviet Union and Ukraine and the Soviet revisionists tacitly avoided provoking the Soviet Union and South Africa, and continued to trade as usual, even increasing the volume of trade, just in case the Soviet Union and South Africa suddenly took sides and kicked the other side into the abyss. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the probability of the Soviet Union and South Africa fighting the Soviet Union and Ukraine is higher.

Therefore, Qin Shan, this clearly unusual man from southern Jiangsu, is probably not here to check the situation. Otherwise, why would the other party show him mercy? He is not a Far Easterner from the Soviet Union, but a man from southern Jiangsu. In this way, all of the other party's actions can be explained.

Thinking of this, Gail became even more enthusiastic towards Qin Shan, since there was no one else to be found here.

The main attack method of the collapse bomb is collapse radiation, but that does not mean it has no explosive power. In fact, the blast radius of this thing is at least two kilometers, and it can be used as a tactical nuclear bomb without any problem, and it can cover a company of positions.

After a brief exchange, Gale decided to move back. The enemy had used collapse bombs, which was crucial intelligence. Moreover, he was the only one left in the company. If the enemy's mechanical army came to the city again, there was no way to hold it.

We should quickly report the situation here to the comrades behind us.

"Comrade, are you coming with me, or..."

"I have to go now, I have other things to do. See you again sometime."

There were quite a few surprises discovered in World Two; Qin Shan needs to process them properly.

Chapter 33: Being Watched

In a five-star hotel in Paris, Qin Shan was enjoying his wife's lap while watching the protesters outside the window.

After all, it is an old revolutionary base area. Although the red flag has been raised, the locals are definitely not satisfied with the Soviet revisionism. In particular, the Soviet revisionists have recently become more and more open about their revisionism, and even broke with the Soviet Union and Ukraine, resulting in a civil war. This has made many ambitious people start to have wild ideas and feel that they can take a gamble.

No matter how steadfast the Soviet Union's beliefs were before, the shadow of the Russian steamrollers from back then is not so easy to erase for the local Europeans. Perhaps the Soviet Union, after its revolution, can solve this problem to the greatest extent possible through a century of integration and assimilation, but they have clearly not yet completed the task of Qin Shi Huang.

Indeed, Qin Shi Huang's mission was to unify the country and establish national identity, truly creating one nation, one belief, and one people.

Centralized power is not something that can be achieved overnight; it is a process that must be continuously strengthened and recognized. Do you really think that the two thousand years of feudal centralized power was so easy? Our ancestors simply had insufficient productivity back then, which does not mean they were fools. They had already explored the optimal solution for centralized power under the productivity conditions at that time. Modern people have simply benefited from the dividends of productivity development. Don't look down on the political wisdom of our ancestors.

"It's the 21st century, how can we learn about feudalism? Hahaha, actually many people have been fooled by this statement. They haven't even finished their tutoring, yet they're dreaming of reaching for the stars. It's more outrageous than a dream."

"Does the Admiral think that the people here are lacking in many courses?"

"At least in terms of unification, they are all too small. Europe, with its size and geographical conditions, should have only given birth to one country. But that's just what should have happened. In fact, unification and centralization are rather luxurious national buffs. They are towering trees watered by countless corpses and blood. People who care too much about their reputation can't take this step."

"Is the Admiral interested in this road?"

"Me? Well, I did think that way before, but now I have a better option."

"No matter what choice the Admiral makes, we will follow you until the end of time."

Qin Shan smiled and reached out to touch his wife's delicate face. The reason he didn't go any further... was because there were two little ones beside him. Although they were two little ones, they were also ship girls and wives (in the future). But for now, they were just little lolis (in appearance). Even when Qin Shan was at his most arrogant in his previous life, he never thought about experiencing life on a loli island. After all, people without principles are worse than animals.

"Let's have Chinese food tonight."

"it is good."

French food is out of the question. Qin Shan still can't understand what's so good about French food—its style?

It could also be that they simply don't like it. Just like how some people put chocolate sauce on tofu pudding, to each their own.

Every country has its own unique cuisine, and we should all try to understand each other.

What?! Strawberry Mapo Tofu! Damn it, I can't stand it! I'm going to explode! (Angry)

However, the dinner that night was anything but peaceful. After all, France was now rife with factions, with even the capitalist faction splitting into left, center, and right. Coupled with historical issues such as the large number of African immigrants in France, Paris turned into a city of night. Wanderers from all over the world, under the cover of darkness, joined forces with local gangs to make merry.

The methods of communication between the two sides included, but were not limited to: burning streetlights with Molotov cocktails, physically assaulting police officers, occasional gunshots, and reckless driving. All of this highlighted a strong sense of martial spirit.

Or rather, they bully the weak and fear the strong; that's how thugs and looters are (despite).

With the start of the zero-yuan purchase, a large number of street shops were affected, and countless thugs showed the lowest limits of human beings. A large number of cars were smashed and set on fire, as if it were an apocalyptic carnival.

Local military and police were naturally mobilized, but because the situation was chaotic at the top with multiple departments issuing conflicting orders, the military and police below were also at a loss, much like the left-wing forces in the Spanish Civil War. In the end, the scene turned into a large-scale brawl, with everyone disregarding who was who and who was who. If you attack me, I must fight back, which undoubtedly made the scene even more chaotic.

"Stop! Hand over your money!"

Qin Shan and his group were surrounded by seven thugs of different skin colors. Putting aside the facts, the skin colors of these seven thugs were quite international, with a kind of United Nations aesthetic.

"You're right, hand over all your money!"

It's just French, Qin Shan knows it too, and he can even rob people on the spot.

This completely baffled the seven robbers, but after their initial surprise, they burst into laughter.

"Hey, this Japanese guy actually said he was going to rob us."

"That's a really funny joke, I like it."

"He'll give it to me in a bit; I like Japanese butts."

Then, in less than five seconds, all seven men were clutching their crotches and howling in pain on the ground.
