Muro aimed to contaminate the atmosphere so that basically only Daodan hosts survive. He needed to infiltrate ACCs worldwide and let them go out of control. Complicated, risky. How about a plan B? | Muro aimed to contaminate the atmosphere so that basically only Daodan hosts survive. He needed to infiltrate ACCs worldwide and let them go out of control. Complicated, risky.

How much does an intercontinental rocket cost? The [[wp:LGM-30_Minuteman|LGM-30 Minuteman]] costs 7 million USD. | How much does an intercontinental rocket cost?

Muro let construct | Therefore Muro let construct the ICBM in Russia without warheads. The simultaneous launch of that many rockets makes sure they don't get declared as a false alert. They get shot into the sky and trigger a nuclear retaliation of USA, and then of Russia. The nuclear holocaust and the contamination will come from the real rockets. Hence nuclear material for own warheads is not needed. | ||
The cost were greatly reduced by not using nuclear material, the fuel comes from cities' "zero-priced" hydrogen grid and the rockets are made in Syndicate run (reverse engineering) repair cafes which have advanced 3d metal printers. The Resurrection Shops are situated at the periphery of cities. | The cost were greatly reduced by not using nuclear material, the fuel comes from cities' "zero-priced" hydrogen grid and the rockets are made in Syndicate run (reverse engineering) repair cafes which have advanced 3d metal printers.
