Chapter 366: Nightfall

When the first intercontinental* U.S. returned to the atmosphere, it was already in the airspace of the Nine Shadows, and there was no precedent in the history of any country to successfully intercept the intercontinental* because this weapon had never actually been used.

A J-20 fighter was guarding over the East China Sea, and when an extremely fast-moving point of light appeared on his radar, he immediately launched a medium-range interceptor*.

However, when this * had just ignited and left the rack, the light point on the radar had already left the fan-shaped detection area.

The J-20 is equipped with a radar that can detect a range of 200 kilometers, a cone-shaped area starting from the nose of the aircraft, which is the leading value in the world today. However, the speed of the intercontinental * has reached 5 kilometers per second.

In the best-case scenario, the aircraft is flying in the same straight line as the *, and the pilot has less than 40 seconds to react. However, the probability of this happening is extremely low, * flying from top to bottom, while the fighters are mostly flying at level, * passing through the fighters' radars for only a few seconds. The pilot's reaction time, combined with the ignition time of the airborne *, allowed the intercontinental * to fly to the rear of the fighter.

Frustrated, the pilot did not turn around to catch up with Intercontinental* because he knew he couldn't. He didn't even see the Intercontinental*, it was just a point of light on the radar screen.

The Intercontinental* continued to smash into the ground, targeting Upper East City, a coastal city in the Nine Shades of East State, the financial center of the Nine Shades.

Several Dongfeng anti-missile* missiles had already risen from the military base on the ground in Upper East City, however, none of these * had failed to hit the Intercontinental*, and the most recent one was 100 meters away from the Intercontinental*.

Intercontinental * is one step closer to the ground, and observers on the ground are already able to see it. It is left only with the nuclear warhead section, behind which is a small thruster, and the rocket section has long been separated during suborbital flight.

At this moment, a green laser shot from the ground into the sky.

The military base in Upper East City is equipped with advanced laser weapons, and this laser ray is not far from Intercontinental* when it first appears, and it is constantly adjusting its direction to approach Intercontinental*'s flight path.

Finally, under the precise control of the controller, the laser ray successfully made contact with Intercontinental*.

The moment the two sides came into contact, the propulsion device on the nuclear warhead went out, but the nuclear warhead was still falling by inertia at an extremely high speed.

The laser did not cut the intercontinental* into two pieces, it simply relied on its own energy to radiate and destroy the structure and electronic components in it.

The observers at the military base looked nervously at the nuclear bomb as it headed straight for the military base. It seems that this is the target of this nuclear warhead.

As the nuclear warhead got closer to the ground, observers felt their hearts beat to their throats.

"Bell !!"

At the moment when the nuclear warhead landed, the observer closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he touched his arm again, realized that he was still alive, and quickly opened his eyes again.

The nuclear warhead smashed into the spacious tarmac of the fighter plane and did not detonate.

In fact, detonating a nuclear bomb is quite technically difficult. If the nuclear material does not reach the critical mass at the same time, it will not trigger a chain reaction to produce a nuclear explosion, but will only cause nuclear contamination.

The nuclear * is intercepted by a laser, and the * of it is destroyed, and there will be no nuclear explosion, which is already the best situation.

The staff at the military base knew in their hearts that there would never be a nuclear bomb dropped here, and the United States would not place two nuclear bombs on the same target. Although they launched more than 200 intercontinental* bombs at one time, their goal must have covered the entire territory of the Nine Shadows, and it would be a waste to have two nuclear bombs at the same target point.

The Upper East City's military base is in the Far Side and is one of the most advanced in the country. But Upper East City is also a first-tier city in Jiuyou, and the United States will definitely target its central urban area as well.

Sure enough, before the people in the military base had time to celebrate, two more nuclear warheads were detected on the radar on the ground.

It appears that the United States has set three target points for Upper East City alone. One is the military base of Upper East City, the second is the port of Upper East City, and the third is the city center of Upper East City.

If these three nuclear bombs are successfully detonated, then Jiuyou will never go to East City again.

The laser weapon is still in a cooling state, and every time this ultra-high-powered weapon is used, the firing port will overheat, and only after the cooling system has cooled down can it be activated a second time. After using it for as long as it was just now, the port is almost melting and it will take at least 3 minutes to be able to use it again.

However, Upper East is not 3 minutes.

The pilots of the J-20 were again instructed to intercept the Intercontinental *. However, he did not fly the fighter plane at high altitude at this time.

The fighter plane flew at a low altitude close to the sea, and after learning the flight trajectory of the nuclear bomb, he adjusted the fighter plane to fly down to the top, wanting to be in the same path as *.

After climbing for a while, sure enough, a point of light appeared again on the onboard radar. The target of this photoelectric is none other than the port of Upper East City.

The fighter plane was already 200 kilometers away when it discovered the nuclear warhead, and the pilot had less than 40 seconds to intercept it, and after 40 seconds, he could no longer catch up with the nuclear warhead*.

Surface-to-air anti-missile* gives priority to another nuclear bomb that will fall in the center of the city. Several Dongfeng anti-missile* missiles rose from the military base one after another and flew towards the flight path of the nuclear bomb.

The pilot of the J-20 concentrated and looked at the point of light in the radar. The effective range of the medium-range * on board was only 100 km, however, when he first discovered the nuclear bomb, he had already launched a medium-range *.

It's a game of luck*, and the odds of hitting a nuclear warhead are not much higher than winning the lottery.

Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, the point of light representing the nuclear bomb was still traveling at high speed on the radar. It was already in range, and the pilot fired all of the fighters' * one by one.

However, after all this was done, the pilot did not choose to dodge, he still kept his eyes on the radar, facing the nuclear * head-on, and wanted to see the target intercepted before leaving.

If the nuclear bomb is successfully intercepted and does not explode, he can get away safely, and if the nuclear bomb explodes, even if he dodges now, he has little chance of surviving.

However, if the medium-range * does not intercept the target, he has one last chance......

The pilot got closer and closer to the nucleus, and finally, with the naked eye, he could see a black dot in the distance. However, he also saw that he launched * all missed with this black dot.

The pilot was constantly fine-tuning the direction of the fighter's flight, and at this moment, his flight instinct for many years was completely stimulated. With less than 5 seconds left to adjust, he wanted to make a face-to-face encounter with the core*.

Piloting a fighter plane to hit the nuclear *, this kind of operation has never appeared in history, in the past, it was * chasing the fighter plane and flying around, this time it was the fighter looking for * trouble.

It took the pilot only three seconds to fine-tune the direction. During these three seconds, he did not observe the various measuring instruments on the fighter, and adjusted the direction completely by feeling.

In the fourth second, he had already seen that the black dot was getting bigger and bigger, and it was less than 6 kilometers away from him.

Last second. There was not the slightest fear in the pilot's heart, and when the black dot grew larger and larger in his field of vision, he smiled, smiled with satisfaction, and smiled proudly.

"My driving skills must be the best in the world. "This is the last minute thought of the pilot.

……

At this time, it was already evening in the Upper East City, and the city under the red glow seemed to be particularly peaceful and prosperous, but if you looked closely at the streets, there were people fleeing in terror.

A strong light suddenly appeared in the eastern sky, like a huge * quilt still in the air, and the red glow was instantly blown away.

The J-20 fighter successfully intercepted the nuclear bomb, but instead of intercepting it with *, it hit it with the fuselage. The nuke is detonated at high altitude and will only cause minor damage to the ground.

Almost at the same time, the north of Upper East City also lit up with a similar ball of light, and the Eastern Anti-Missile* successfully intercepted another nuclear bomb.

Immediately after, two loud bangs came at the same time. The brilliant lights that had just been lit up in the entire Upper East City were all extinguished in a flicker.

Although these two nuclear bombs were not detonated above the atmosphere and cannot be called a real EMP attack, they still caused a strong electromagnetic pulse to Upper East City.

There is a total power outage in Upper East Side and surrounding cities. Electromagnetic pulses are lethal to electronic devices, and any device with an electronic receiving device will burn out all the circuit boards after receiving an electronic pulse attack.

Fires began to break out in many large power supply facilities in the city, and fire extinguishing was seen everywhere. The whole city gradually gets dark as night falls. From above, only sporadic flames can be seen in this darkness.

The Upper East City has been preserved, but it no longer has the thriving night scene it once had. This is a lucky city where the nuclear bomb did not cause substantial damage to people on the ground, while other cities were not so lucky......
