Using missiles to intercept plasma bombs is like using missiles to intercept drones during the war between Big Mao and Little Mao.
If they didn't use missiles to attack drones, the drones carrying explosives could potentially destroy important infrastructure.
But if they used missiles to attack drones, the drones might only cost a few hundred dollars each, while a missile could set us back tens of thousands.
For the Bug Race, the cost of launching a plasma bomb was even lower than the cost for humans to produce a drone, making the situation in Kyoto particularly awkward, as intercepting them implied financial loss, but allowing them to cause destruction was not an option either.
After all, things were different now compared to before the natural disasters, when China, known for its infrastructure obsessions, once built a 57-story skyscraper in just 19 days.
