Godzilla Earth: Origin - Book 1: Chapter 36: Nagoya-Osaka Operation: Overheat (9)

The ruins of the city burned fiercely, and the sky turned a dark purple.

Flames raged over the ruins of Nagoya, casting a dark and blackened sky. Everywhere was charred and blackened, with countless collapsed skyscrapers and white patches where the ground had been burned.

A massive pit, one kilometer wide, had been blasted open in the front.

The destroyed city lay in ruins everywhere, destroyed by the impact and intense heat.

Nagoya had been completely annihilated by Godzilla.

Godzilla stood on a small hill, silently observing the burning city, contemplating something.

After destroying Nagoya, Godzilla didn’t immediately advance towards Osaka. Instead, it stood still on the edge of the Nagoya ruins, temporarily ceasing its movements to rest and dissipate heat.

“My body temperature is too high now.”

Feeling its own body, Godzilla’s internal state was in chaos, with an extremely high average temperature. It even surpassed the temperature it reached when it gathered energy for its breath attack.

However, it didn’t reach the point of melting its own nuclear reactor like before when the temperature was extreme.

But it was still extremely high, and if the temperature continued to rise, Godzilla’s body would suffer tremendous damage.

Why was it like this?

Godzilla pondered this matter. Its body temperature shouldn’t be this high.

Godzilla had confidence in its own heat dissipation ability.

It believed that even if it accumulated a significant amount of waste heat in its body from consecutive breath attacks, it should be able to balance the temperature within a dozen minutes. Its body temperature shouldn’t be this high.

So why was it so high now?

Perhaps it was due to the spray of coating from the unmanned vehicles.

Those coatings were most likely a type of thermal insulation material used by humans. Humans poured rapidly solidifying insulation coatings onto its body, helping it “retain heat” and causing it to overheat.

How clever, those little things.

Dealing with Godzilla didn’t necessarily require weapons.

Dealing with Godzilla didn’t necessarily require weapons.

“Godzilla, cease your actions! We’ve succeeded!”

In the command center in Osaka, cheers erupted as Godzilla stopped moving. The people in the command center rejoiced over their victory.

Even Sato, who had shown a lack of interest in the plan, relaxed his grip on the cup slightly at the moment when Godzilla ceased its steps.

Everyone knew that the operation had been successful, and Godzilla had been repelled.

Even though it remained near Nagoya for now, it would soon return to the sea.

They had won.

[Industrial Nano-Particle Insulation Spray]

This was what humans sprayed on Godzilla during the operation, essentially a type of spray that could provide insulation to objects.

For example, when applied to the outside of a water bottle, it could transform an ordinary water bottle into an excellent insulating flask.

In places where a large temperature difference needed to be created, this type of spray was used extensively.

Originally, it was used to prevent certain areas and some components from becoming too cold, but now it was used to force Godzilla’s cooling system to collapse.

The idea of using it to deal with Godzilla wasn’t proposed by the people in the Eastern District.

Shortly after Godzilla’s second landing, a team of scientists analyzed the energy output of Godzilla’s super breath attack and came up with the idea of using this type of insulation spray to force Godzilla’s body to overheat.

“If we can’t defeat Godzilla, why not let Godzilla destroy itself?”

With this idea in mind, they calculated the equivalent cooling rate of Godzilla based on its super breath attack and external temperature. Then the team calculated the insulating properties of all the insulation materials available on the market to see if there was a type of insulation that could reduce Godzilla’s cooling rate to the point where even its basic activities would result in an inability to dissipate heat.

Without using its breath attack, even simple movements would cause its body temperature to continue rising until it had to go into a state of dormancy.

Finally, after comparing dozens of insulation materials, the research team discovered a new type of nano-particle insulation spray that could cause Godzilla’s cooling system to collapse with remote spraying and only a thin layer.

As long as enough of this spray covered fifty percent of Godzilla’s back, its cooling system would collapse.

It was an idea that could completely defeat Godzilla, but it was only an idea.

To cover Godzilla’s back with the insulation spray was clearly impossible.

It wasn’t like aluminum powder, which could be carried by bombers. This insulation spray was genuinely a liquid and needed to be maintained under high pressure.

Bombers and missiles couldn’t carry this substance, and using transport planes to drop a large bag of it on Godzilla’s head would be a feasible method.

But how could Godzilla allow hundreds of transport planes to fly over its head and coat its entire body with the insulation spray?

Given its temperament, it would just unleash its breath attack before all those planes reached its head.

Simple insulation spray was useless; it would only be effective if Godzilla allowed others to spray it while lying down.

And Commander Sato proposed a bold plan: making Godzilla lie down and be sprayed.

Bombs were planted in all underground facilities, shopping malls, and other locations in Hokkaido, Osaka, and Nagoya, with the intention of detonating them as soon as Godzilla stepped onto those surfaces.

When Godzilla’s front foot fell into the pit, its entire body would tilt forward, head facing down, and then the hidden vehicles in the city would begin to pour the insulation spray. This was Sato Hirozumi’s plan.

The plan seemed incredibly unreliable, but after detailed calculations were made, they found that it could work.

As long as Godzilla fell, due to its weight, it would be extremely difficult for it to get back up. It would take several minutes or even longer for it to stand again.

During this time, Godzilla would undoubtedly be defenseless. The plan was risky, but it was effective.

Of course, there were concerns about relying solely on this risky plan. Therefore, an additional plan was implemented to drain Godzilla’s energy, ensuring that it couldn’t completely destroy the entire Eastern District in one go.

“Mr. Sato, the whole world owes you a debt of gratitude.”

The general representing the East Asian region extended his hand to Sato, and the other generals also came forward to shake hands in respect, including the one who had previously opposed him.

“Yes, on behalf of the people of the Eastern District, I express gratitude for the world’s support.”

Just as Sato Hirozumi was about to set down his teacup and receive the extended hands, the image of Godzilla began to move again.
