Why not choose a number that sets the fake_block number to a known quantity like 50,000 or 100,000? If we did that, the period would get set back to 0 or 1 and the amount of time between bomb diffusions would be maximized. Choosing 9,000,000 setback is arbitrary and depends on fork block which adds a bit of uncertainty that seems unnecessary. (It will set the period back to 1 most likely, though.)

The arbitrary choice of 5,000,000 for the previous bomb diffusion is, I think, why the bomb is appearing so early this time.
