Chapter 363: Intercontinental Ballistics*
South Dakota, located in the Midwest of the United States, is one of the largest producers of rye, flaxseed and spring wheat in the United States. The eastern part of the state, which is an endless grassland with no forests in sight, is an excellent location for the deployment of * silos.
Some people think that the silo must be full of technology, but in fact, it is a bottomless hole.
The Minuteman series* is hidden in a 30-meter-deep underground chamber and closed by a 110-ton stone door, which opens to reveal a 7-ton steel door.
At this time, a continuous mechanical alarm sounded in the underground control center of the silo. The mouth of the well opened, and a * warhead was exposed, and the whole * was as large as a spire.
The Intercontinental* was carrying a 10-million-ton nuclear warhead, ten times the yield of the Roman one.
The switch for launching a nuclear bomb must be operated by two controllers at the same time using their own keys.
At this time, the two controllers received the command to launch the nuclear bomb from the computer, and after they repeatedly confirmed that this was not a drill, one opened the cross pendant hanging around his neck and took out a small key from it, and the other ran back to his lounge, broke open a piece of the floor under the bed, and took out a small key as well.
Subsequently, the two received the same instructions from the encrypted channel. After calling back to the chief for a third confirmation, they inserted the key into the console.
"Three. ”
"II. ”
"One. ”
Two people count down to one at the same time, then twist the key at the same time, and the launch system opens.
The launch process is very simple, the two only need to adjust the coordinates and press the "launch" button. This simple process is also designed to allow the United States to strike back as soon as it suffers a nuclear attack.
When the two controllers saw that the coordinates of the command were Jiuyou Zijing City, their hands couldn't stop shaking.
"Owen, is the world war about to start?"
"I don't know, I never thought I'd press this button. My previous commander told me that the most powerful weapon is the one that is not used, and that its existence is a deterrent. But why do we need it now? ”
The operator, known as Owen, placed his right hand on the launch button, looked at the coordinates again, then closed his eyes and said "God forbid" before pressing the button.
*The silo was instantly filled with smoke and fire, and a slender intercontinental* slowly rose from the wellhead with a flaming tail like a satellite rocket rising into the air.
It kept accelerating, getting faster and faster, and after a while, it became a small black dot on the horizon.
Then, another flaming tail lit up in the air, and an intercontinental* rose from another *silo* ten kilometers away.
"Buzz ......"
"Buzz ......"
The sound of breaking the air kept coming, and after a while, more than a dozen * appeared in the air at the same time, as if they were going to a party together, scrambling to fly towards the sky.
The 200-hectare military base is the largest intercontinental* launch base in the United States, with a total of 17* silos deployed. At this time, on this 200-hectare plain, all 17 intercontinental* were lifted into the sky.
……
In the nearest village, the villagers are mostly Indians, but there are also many people of various colors.
They heard the sound of the sky breaking in the distance, and they all ran out of their homes quickly, looking for a wide field of vision.
At the head of the village, on a relatively high hillside, more than a dozen villagers came one after another, these villagers had different skin colors, but only the Indians were nowhere to be seen.
They walked in unison, and the first thing they did when they arrived at the high ground was to take out their mobile phones or all kinds of strangely shaped telephoto cameras, and shoot at those * in the air.
They had lived in the same village for decades, and they had a good relationship with each other, and they would drink together in their spare time. But at this time, none of them discussed the wonders of the sky with the rest of the people around them.
Because, these people all know what exactly a "little rocket" in the air is. The more than a dozen villagers are intelligence agents from different countries, who have been secretly monitoring the launch base for a long time.
At this moment, their faces are full of anxiety at the moment, after the intercontinental* lifts off, they can reach any position in the world in half an hour. They don't know exactly which country they are targeting*, but judging by the flight trajectory alone, it should be the countries of the East.
* It is a flight inclined to the west and is expected to cross the Pacific Ocean. At least it can be determined that the scope of the attack will not be South America, and the most likely is Russia, Jiuyou, North Korea and other countries.
The various agents hurriedly turned on their communication devices, and almost all of them used satellite encrypted channels. Everyone did not shy away from the others, and they communicated over the radio in various languages, and everyone spoke quickly and urgently, but not a single person could be heard communicating in English.
A white man shouted into the radio in Russian: "17! They fired 17 at once! I always thought there were only 15* silos here, but they had 17." The stage-propelled rockets used in these intercontinental* are among the highest specifications in the United States, and I believe that each rocket carries more than one nuclear warhead. ”
Another Asian American holding a cell phone said in Korean: "They fired 17*, and the target is probably not us." I guess these * are all carrying tens of millions of tons of nuclear warheads, enough to blow up our country three times. ”
There was also a black man here who was unexpected, and he whispered in the Nine Shadows: "Sir, I suspect that their target is the Nine Shadows, and 17 intercontinental* missiles have been launched here alone, and the target must be a big country, and from the perspective of these * in the air adjustment, their targets are either the Russian Far East or the Nine Shadows." But I also believe that even if the United States wanted to destroy all the military bases in the Russian Far East, it would not need so many nuclear bombs, which can only show that they are coming for Jiuyou. ”
An uneasy and old voice came from the other end of the radio, "Yes, our intelligence officers outside just got the word at the same time that all known intercontinental *launch bases* in the United States had been launched*. The base in Alaska is no exception, where * flights to Russia take less than 5 minutes. Now, five minutes have passed, and the satellites have still not detected any anomalies in Russia. I'm afraid these * that have lifted off are all heading towards the Nine Shadows, and the intelligence we've gathered shows that more than 200* are already flying towards the Nine Shadows. You must get out of there in half an hour and drive to a sparsely populated place where there are no American troops, Jiuyou has launched a counterattack, and our* is about to take to the air. ”

Vatican, inside the ruins of St. Paul's Square.
Yuwen Zhi turned his head to Catherine and said, "You have no body, your soul has no foundation, and sooner or later it will dissipate. Now, you can only go to the Celestial Realm if you merge with Daven in your third form. There, as long as Devon lives, your divine consciousness will not be immortal. Your God is also there, and he needs your help. ”
"Is the Lord really in the heavenly realm?" Catherine was a little excited.
Yuwen Zhi nodded, "To be precise, he is in the immortal realm in the heavenly realm, and it is very dangerous there, are you willing to go?"
"As long as my lord is there, even if it is an abyssal demon cave, I will follow. What are the third forms you are talking about?"
"You just need to recognize yourself as a pair of armor, an artifact. Then think of Devon as the owner of the armor, and merge with her body or soul, and you will be able to live in symbiosis with her. ”
Catherine stared at Davin lying on the ground for only a moment, and suddenly, the red armor disintegrated and cracked, turning into parts and sticking to Davin's body.
Wearing the red armor, Devin seemed to have become Catherine. The furious energy in her body was also suppressed by the armor, but she still felt that she was about to explode at any moment, and the armor just held her like a "straitjacket".
Devin barely regained consciousness, opened her eyes, and slowly stood up, she felt a homologous force protecting her, and an alien soul merged into her body.
Stretching out his hand, he was surprised to find that his body had been completely covered by a set of red armor, and there were high-level figures from the three transcendent organizations standing in front of him.
Yuwen didn't say a word, and walked in front of Dai Wen, "I don't have time to explain to you, if you stay in this world, you will explode and die immediately." I will send you to another world, and your God is there. Remember two things, one is to go there without revealing your identity, keep a low profile, and find Jehovah, and the other is to inquire about Ji Xuanyuan and try to rescue him as much as possible. ”
Without waiting for Dai Wen to reply, Yu Wenzhi pointed to her eyebrows again. The red armor quickly disappeared into this world with a puzzled look in his eyes.
