Book 3: Death's End
- Ch 62A roughly 300-megaton hydrogen bomb stood in for an exploding Sun, with asteroid fragments modeling the eight planets, to test giant planets as shields.
- Ch 62Scientifically unnecessary, the test was really a costly propaganda effort to win public faith in the Bunker Project, so it used live human volunteers and a worldwide broadcast.
- Ch 62The test succeeded: all fifty spaceships sheltered behind the four gas-giant fragments were unharmed, and Earth erupted in cheers.
