Chapter 97: Grand Convergence! World Transformation! (6000 Big Chapter)_3

The Blue Sun remained in its largest state for about half a minute, and during this period, it was very stable. Coupled with the eerie silence that shrouded everything, it actually gave people a sense of eternity in this brief time, as if it had been there since the day the world was born.

The sky became transparent, the fusion reaction was silent, and the entire port was submerged in its blue light, making the world seem alien and bizarre.

This was a cold sun, and people could not feel any of its heat.

Finally, a sound broke the silence; the slight crackling noise emanated from people's bodies, the sound of mobile phone internal electronic chips being destroyed.

Someone looked up at the sky and screamed; they saw a large passenger plane, falling from the sky like a bird that had lost its power, its electronic control systems and engines failing after the onboard electronic chips were destroyed.

An elderly person glanced at the plane crashing into the city and sighed:

"The world is going to change, isn't it?"

At that moment, the Blue Sun evaporated in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed. People saw that everything at the fusion point had disappeared without a trace, a semi-circular gap with a radius of two hundred meters appeared in the Port of Barcelona, filled by seawater, with very smooth edges where one could see the reflection of the blue water.

At the same time, the raging energy of the fusion reaction was spreading in all directions, first reaching Spain, then Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and continuing to spread to Asia, India, and the Lasah border of Huaxia before being halted by the immense consumption of chips along the way.

This fusion reaction, targeting chips for the release of energy, threw most of the Earth, including hundreds of countries like the UK, America, France, Germany, back to the agricultural era.

Only Northeastern Australia and Asian countries led by Huaxia, including Japan, Korea, Laos, and Myanmar, managed to survive.

The more advanced a country was, the greater the blow it suffered; the world order was about to undergo a major reshuffle!

With the destruction of the chips, the immediate outcome was that various modern facilities suddenly stopped working; power generation and supply systems completely failed, and water and gas supplies stopped as well.

Those who were cooking found out that not only was the gas gone, but also electricity and water.

Those in the middle of bathing or shampooing, just having applied shower gel and shampoo, also wept.

Doctors and patients in hospitals fell into panic, as all medical equipment went dark, including life-support ventilators and life detection monitors, turning ICU rooms instantly into domains of the God of Death.

The hospital initially thought it was just a simple power outage and prepared to start the diesel engines, only to find they couldn't be started at all. And when they tried to call for help, they found that phones and mobiles were also blacked out.

The ones in the worst situation were those undergoing surgery; many died on the spot without life support equipment, and those who didn't die were barely hanging on. The doctors wanted to save them, but the operating rooms were pitch-dark, and they couldn't see anything. They tried all possible sources of light, flashlights, emergency lights, but all electronics were dead. The doctors could only attempt to continue the operations by moving the patients outdoors, but in doing so, the patients were close to losing their last breath, and without any electronic medical equipment, it felt like being thrust back into ancient times.

Those who were using transportation fared somewhat better; drivers, at least, unlike future vehicles with electronic throttles and brakes, could still come to a stop.

But for those on airplanes, it was a disaster; they experienced free fall together with the aircraft from high in the sky.

In the major office buildings, computers blacked out, and the office workers were shocked, thinking it was a virus, then realising that everyone's computer around them had gone dark.

The students in the school cheered and jumped for joy, unaware that what they were facing was not a power outage, but a large-scale turmoil.

Government departments around the world wanted to respond immediately, but found that all communication equipment had failed; even satellite phones were broken. Central and local governments, local and departmental, departments and subordinate agencies were completely cut off from each other, divided into isolated islands based on districts.

The military also experienced brief confusion, but thanks to regular training and discipline, it quickly calmed down.

They faced the same issue—unable to contact any department, and even within the troops, they could only communicate by walking and shouting. They wanted to drive, but found that vehicles could no longer be started; the electronic chips controlling the engines had turned to ash. Fighters and aircraft carriers had become piles of scrap metal, rendering the Air Force and Navy completely combat ineffective.

Not only that, but all kinds of weapons that relied on satellite systems and electronic chips—a hallmark of the information age and modern high technology—were paralyzed, such as missiles, nuclear bombs, radars, and so on; only firearms were still usable.

The social financial system had collapsed; the numbers in people's bank accounts had become a mystery, and virtual assets like stocks were unknowable. The banks didn't know how much assets one had, or the balance in one's account.

The good news was that loans no longer needed to be repaid; the bad news was that the money in the banks was gone.

The transportation supply system had collapsed. Various vehicles lay immobile across the city, and logistics had come to a standstill.

All of the city's modern facilities were broken, and appliances like refrigerators and televisions could only be recycled as scrap.

This was not just a return to the time before liberation overnight; it was an instantaneous fallback to ancient times, an era where travel relied solely on foot, communication depended on shouting, security mostly depended on dogs, and entertainment was largely by hand.

But humanity was no longer that of those times. Modern technology had given birth to modern cities, and as technology regressed in an instant, the cities began to descend into madness.

In joyful America, gunfire lasted all day.

Food was looted, money and belongings robbed, murders occurred on the spot, rapes multiplied; evil spread everywhere.

Cities lost the order of the past, plunging into unprecedented turmoil and chaos—a scene like the arrival of the end of the world, with rural areas becoming the sole paradise.

It was chaotic, unbearably so. Apart from chaos, there was only chaos.

At that time, an organization known as ETO rose up in various countries. They seemed well prepared, with excellent equipment, spreading their doctrine in the name of the Lord. In the soil of the great catastrophe, their ranks rapidly swelled.

As the only Five Permanent Member State, Huaxia, that retained the majority of its strength, detected the true state of global disasters through various channels and remaining military satellites within a day. It entered a state of emergency preparedness. Central plans were rolled out, a million troops were urgently mobilized; while instructing nearby government departments and troops to head to the disaster areas to stabilize the situation, a large number of Air and Naval forces were sent to "survey the situation" in various major regions and countries.

The Air Force took off, and major military airports were busy. Transport and fighter planes were the first to head to the capitals of major countries, whose airspace, like ladies on the sides of the night streets, allowed them free entry. This also confirmed their suspicions that these countries had indeed been hit by macro-fusion strikes.

The only factory in the world still capable of producing electronic chips was Bay Bay's TSMC in Taiwan; for Huaxia, this was a golden opportunity. They could recover Taiwan and take control of the TSMC chip factory. Air forces and aircraft carriers set sail, invading Taiwan en masse.

The Third Fleet of the Navy received an urgent mission to search for Grand Historian Yi and others in the Port of Barcelona, Spain, and assist them in bringing back important information.

Aboard the Chang'an battleship of the Third Fleet, Political Commissar Zhang Beihai and Captain Wu Yue were thrilled, discussing the earth-shattering changes that had taken place in the world over the past couple of days.
