[Military 10] Invent Thaumonuclear Warheads [Ship-to-Ship Weapons]
Requirements: Arcane Amplification, Nuclear Fusion; Fissile Material resource
Effect: +1 Battles
The creation of a synthetic ley-line through thaumofission has been rediscovered by the honored Seers of the House of Brimstone. While this revelation stands poised to fuel an unprecedented era of expansion in Tekhum, the principles hearken back to an earlier and darker period. Armed with knowledge of Thaumonuclear Cores, the scientists and engineers of Gunzir Massif spend years of effort and billions of kroesids in pursuit of a parallel achievement - to split that ley line asunder at the moment of inception. Eventually, the sacrificial test asteroid alights with a scintillating pattern of lights in colors that have no name, a detonation that is felt as far away as Badal. At the center of the thaumofission explosion, the catastrophic release of magical energy coupled with solar temperatures results in the first instance of Constancy Flux seen since the War of Eternal Bombardments. At the center of the explosion, the scientific constants of gravity, nuclear force, and electromagnetism enter a state of chaotic flux, randomizing and re-randomizing a thousand times in the instant of ignition. As thermal and kinetic energy transfer along the media of atoms, Constancy Flux flows back along the stream of invisible particles binding the universe together. While the decay rate is extraordinary, even the lightest touch of Constancy Flux results in unexpected and lethal mutations in both physical and thaumoperceptual reality. The project leader, Ummânī Imsu het Gunzir Massif, makes an appearance alongside Duke Esarhaddon III to announce the successful demonstration, and to reassure the people of Dur-Shalkhir that this awesome power is safely and totally controlled. - [Diplomacy] Sway the Government Support of Bīt Ereshkigal (Region 22) - 19
