The National Particle Accelerator Lab was located in Dallas, Texas in the USNA (not the northern part of the United States, but the United States that encompassed all of Northern America). At a full length of 30 km, the linear particle accelerator was preparing to experiment with micro black hole creation and evaporation based on the Hawking radiation theory.

In reality, preparations had already been completed two years ago, but the reason why this project was restarted despite its failure to receive approval due to its comparatively large unknown risks was because of what happened in the Far East sector near end of last month.

A titanic explosion eradicated the military harbor located on the southern tip of the Korean peninsula and the fleet stationed there within an instant. This was not just a simple event, but worthy of rating a major crisis.

This was not because of the scale of destruction, but because of the estimated instrument of this carnage.

After fierce debate among the scientists from the Department of National Defense, the cause of the detonation was determined to be matter conversion. Three years ago, only a small portion of the scholars stood by this, but this time there was consensus among the researchers.

By tracing back the estimated scale of the explosion, the amount of matter transmuted into energy was roughly 1 kg. -- Although matter conversion such a large scale had never been detected before, but since they already used an experimental device to record the annihilation reaction, they were able to use that to estimate what had occurred.

What required an explanation was that, based on the data of the "titanic explosion" recorded by the satellites, the distinctive properties of the annihilation reaction did not match those created under experimental conditions. Nor did they detect any debris left behind by nuclear fission or fusion. In other words, regardless of whether through the advent of some technology or magical power, someone utilized a previously unknown method to create a practical application or high energy explosions.

This result gave the upper echelons of the USNA fits.

If this was caused by magic, then they could hardly bemoan the fact that no one could replicate this achievement. While the magic system itself was systematic, ultimately human genes was the dominant property.

However, there was simply no way to craft any countermeasures if they had no idea how this phenomenon was achieved in the first place.

Once an enemy turned this upon them, the only path remaining to them was complete destruction.

This was a nightmare come to life.

How was the explosion brought about, the keys to the matter and energy conversion system, were these beyond their grasp...... Yet, this was precisely the impetus that revitalized the micro black hole creation and evaporation experiment.

In regards to the observable effect from matter to energy conversion from black hole evaporation, the theoretical proof was sound. The micro black hole experiment itself was designed to bring these theories to fruition. And then there was the matter of how the data from the "titanic explosion" differed from experimental estimates.

Still, according to the predictions from USNA scientists, although the annihilation effect did not match up perfectly with the experimental observation of Hawking radiation, there was still the possibility of obtaining a result that was completely different from theoretical estimates.

In summation, there was a chance that they could observe the same distinctive properties observed during the "titanic explosion". The probability of this was not zero.

The fact that this flimsy possibility was enough to reopen such a dangerous and risky experiment was a clear testament to how desperate the upper echelons of the USNA had become.

To the point that they could ignore the dangers of the unknown.

The result of such a decision was encroaching towards them, nay, the entire world.

This hitherto undetected disaster was creeping closer.
