what if humans are one of the few beings to invent atomic weapons without destroying ourselves?

atomic weapons were the product of einstein’s theories, introduced into the crucible that was world war 2. if the theories had been introduced during a time of peace, the idea to weaponize it may not have occurred to anyone. It may have simply turned into another way of producing energy, since creating a fission reactor is easier than making a bomb. It is conceivable that other alien races also had similar revelations during a time of war, but how many would survive such a revelation? We nearly destroyed ourselves in our time, a less prudent or less fortunate humanity might have simply bombed themselves to death by accident.

In other words, imagine other alien’s shock and horror when they find that humans have enough firepower in just 100 of those bombs to cause a nuclear winter and completely wreck a planet’s ecosystem, all 100 of which could easily fit on a standard star cruiser. an alien invading earth now would have to contend with over 15000 such weapons spread across the globe. Assuming production of bombs continues in the future, every human ship in time of war could be outfitted with the necessary power to destroy a planet.

Aside from humanity, only the most advanced species in the galaxy possess this kind of power, with plasma rail guns based off solar flairs which can glass planets. This makes humanity a contender for dominance with even the most advanced of species.
