I had in mind a gatling gun but wrote chain-gun out of laziness.
Also, to compensate the damage we inflicted on the people of IAteYoChocolate, we give them a share of some of our plutonium and minerals.
That's gonna take a huge set of mirrors and condesors to make a death ray from the sun's rays! We also have been working on a laser-artillery, but out of your hearing range. Imagine a surgical laser but much more powerful and on a much, much, much bigger scale. Instead of redirecting the sun's rays into a laser, we have been proposing making a 'fusion chamber'. This will create a lot of electromagnetic radiation and will be inteser than redirecting light. However, this will be our plans in the far future as this is a big challenge for us right now, as you can see (1975). For now, we will be using normal laser technology such as CO2 lasers and Rare earth metal crystal lasers as weapons. And first we need to find the right minerals to produce such things.
After months of prototypes, a stable Moon-orbit capable rocket is built. 2 men will be placed in the lander, however only one will decend, the other will have to remain orbit to make sure the return rocket's orbit remains stable. The operation is a massive success. The first man on the lunar surface is named Dorin Sandu and on his jurney he bought 5 gramms of moon rocks. One of our researchers was wondering what its properties are and tried to smoke it, but we fired him before he could. Now that I think about it, he did look a little like the crack-addict aross the street :\
Either way, the lunar material was very smooth, much like dust. Tests detucting weather or not life can survive and prosper on the Moon's surface are still being conducted.
The A.H.C. begins to attempt a possible invasion of Japan. Even though it was nuked to total sh*t after the war, currents and winds pushed the radiation away in some areas near the coastline, so that is where the expedition of Japan shall take place. (2 months)
The A.H.C. also begins to work on the concept of an underground, fully self-suficient city. It is still only on the drawing stage, but the concept isn't ludicrous, after all, if we can put a man on the moon, we can do anything, right? (1 year)
How did you reach all the way to Japan from Madagascar?
The very next day the plans of the underground city were made, the lab was found raided and all the schematics were lost. However, those that were lost were either defective schematics or just other things that were completly un-related to the city. (Your research time is delayed by 3 months)
The Zylit armada that attempted to cut the AH advance to Japan was so exhausted and low on supplies from the long journey from Madagascar to the China Sea that the AH navy was able to avoid their advance entirely and reach Japan in no time.
As tensions between the Zylit and the AHC begin to grow due to certain scandals about espionage, the AHC begins to arm and prepare their army for war. They warn the Zylit that if their actions against the AHC won't stop, armed confict will be inevitable.
You said you stole it, and the only way I can think of you stealing something physical from a lab is by raiding it. Deal with it.
You'll have 14 nuclear rockets firing right at you if you won't stop trying to foil the AHC's plans.
