/sci/, would it be possible to detonate nuclear explosions in between continental plates underwater to stimulate lava to pour out enough to create entirely new islands?

Entirely new islands for the technocracy, I presume.

We're a bunch of potential supervillains, aren't we? We just need someone to be in a horrible accident that leaves them with permanent deformities, and we'll have our leader.

Also, maybe it would be easier to steal western Tasmania.

I would prefer not to occupy Tasmania, yes.

Nuclear weapon might not be able to do this to create a volcano, except if these are motherfuckin tsar bombs x1000, powerful enough to break the plates !!!1 (that could be dangerous, you know?)
So the answer may be yes.

We're not supervillains, they steal nukes and hold the world to ransom. Though we could definitely pull off anti-heroes

/sci/ being /sci/ we'd have to build our own ones, bicker about religion, then make somewhere to live. Surely between us all we have enough centrifuges to separate enough uranium for such a device? From then on, it's effectively plain sailing.

Oh yes lets take the easy way out, the technocracy is already in shambles due to your laziness.

This is why I love /sci/

Detonating underwater nukes is the easy way out.

If we start a country we do it right, taken the native and kicking them out and/or raping them while assimilating them to our ways. Not creating new land like fucking Lex Luthor from the last superman film goddammit.

How are we possibly going to separate and enrich 50,000 tonnes of uranium?

Wouldn't it just be easier to find a nice under-ice lake in Antarctica and set up some up shop there? All the heat we need we could extract from the lake without any need for drilling. Much more homely than pissing about with uranium.

>> No.1933774

How about we just build an anti-matter bomb.

That would be easier than finding 50,000 tons of uranium.

They try to hide behind their unrealistic justifications for a utopia that will never be, but deep down inside they know it all a sad dream to conquer the reality they'll have to face eventually.

But in the end we all know they'll never succeed, Tasmania could never be taken over by the likes of them.
