The breaking
The Director's voice took on a more urgent tone. "For now, let's focus on the broadcast and how it will be rolling out in about an hour."
Jade's eyes widened in shock. "An hour?! Where exactly are we nuking this crystal, anyway? Doesn't that pose a threat to everyone else?"
The Director shook his head, reassuring her. "No, it won't be a conventional nuke. We're using a specially designed missile, the AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile, capable of reaching the very edge of the stratosphere. The explosion will occur at that altitude, and the crystal will be shattered into tiny fragments."
He continued, "As for the fallout, we've developed a new type of technology that will push all gasses and debris toward space, preventing any harmful effects from reaching the Earth's surface. Essentially, a controlled vacuum effect will be created, ensuring that any potential threats are pulled away from the planet."
