That could work, along with Robert Martinu's idea which is essentially
the same (a Doomsday Network instead of a single Doomsday Device).
The "ionize and microwave" approach is also something like actual
science...as opposed to my original, which was "He pressed the ****ny
Red Button and...inexplicable Singularity magic happened. The End."
My apologies to WaltBJ, Sheerluck, and Erik Max Francis: the SAT
people are long-since extinct by the time Our Hero arrives.
(Otherwise they'd have pushed the ****ny Red Button themselves eons
ago, and said Hero would be out of a job.)
