Chapter 170: The Key Point of Growth and Transformation

As the connecting point between the east and west shores of the Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian Islands have been one of the brightest pearls in the Pacific Ocean since the world's major nations began their maritime expeditions more than 500 years ago. From sailboats to paddle steamers, from wooden ships to ironclad ships, countless ships from the East and the West have carried countless goods on the ocean for hundreds www.biquge.info of years to Hawaii for trading and resting. Hawaii's thriving trade boom has naturally caught the attention of two major powers on both sides of the Pacific. In 1889, after years of strife, the Dragon Kingdom and the Stars and Stripes signed the Hawaiian Islands Peace Declaration at the newly established United Nations headquarters, and the two powers agreed on the ownership of Hawaii. Hawaii is considered an international permanent neutral port under the joint jurisdiction of the two countries, and residents of all archipelago automatically have dual citizenship of the Dragon Kingdom and the Star-Spangled State. The Hawaiian Islands are permanently not allowed to set up military bases of any size, and no military forces are stationed.

However, a few days ago, the two-state declaration, which had been strictly observed for more than 100 years, was shattered. Hundreds of huge warships formed a mighty fleet group to occupy the port where container ro-ro ships and cruise ships were berthed, and heavy transport planes and hovering fighters that constantly took off and landed in the air replaced the original position of large passenger planes. A large number of military supplies were urgently delivered to the Hawaiian Islands, and all kinds of large construction machinery were being built on the islands. Within a few days, the area had almost doubled, and huge material warehouses and underground oil depots were quickly erected on the island.

Thankfully, only a small part of the archipelago has been militarized, and the natural beauty of the entire archipelago has not been affected too much. In the soul maelstrom that had arrived in Hawaii at the latest, Tianyun grinned as he looked at the archipelago that was displayed almost diagonally from northwest to southeast beneath him. It's just a pity that the hospitable Hawaiians and the jovial tourists of the archipelago are gone.

"All residents and tourists have been evacuated. The renovated and expanded port area will be responsible for most of the support and logistics before and after the start of the decisive battle. All the fighters who participated in the battle are already in place. The battle plan for Gatanjee and other monsters and monsters has also been revised in more detail and precision according to the specific tasks of the fighters and other staff. According to the order of General Han, the first commander of the Joint Command, all participating units will begin to launch the first wave of ultra-long-range fire projection three hours later, at 1034 hours. ”

"I see, snacks. And, thank you! ”

"You?" Listening to Tianyun's answer, which seemed to be a little lacking in energy, Snack couldn't help but be a little worried. Although I know that most of the sluts are fine, but after all, with such a big guy on his back, he has rushed tens of thousands of kilometers all the way, and I'm afraid that with the strength of the slut, it is not very comfortable now.

"It's fine. Occasionally, go down and find something delicious to treat yourself. Haha...... "According to the instructions of the command, the troops brought by the island were separated from the soul whirlpool, and Tianyun smiled and played an ultra-high-altitude bungee jump without a safety rope from a height of 10,000 meters.

With the search ability of a foodie, after finding a logistics department of the army, the slut used his extremely high authority in the joint command to easily obtain a well-groomed piglet, a large amount of meat, and tropical fruits such as pineapples, bananas, and coconuts that are abundant in Hawaii.

"There are still three hours to let the puppet have a good meal of the simplest and roughest meal!" On the beach, with the leaves of the wide banana trees that he picked around casually, he wrapped the little pig, which had been smeared inside and out with a dozen kinds of sauces taken from his backpack, stuffed it into the hole he stepped on, and then spread a layer of sand that was not thin or thick, just the right thickness. A large bundle of thick and thin branches of various branches were selected, six or seven thick and long ones were built into a simple grill, and many small branches were stuffed into the gaps of the grill, and the right thumb and index finger were lit with a pinch of the fire. Well, the time is tight, add some ingredients. A round floating cannon with a diameter of three meters was quickly dismantled into several complex parts by Tianyun's own afterimage. One of the near-transparent irregular geometries was infused with the Skycloud's own energy, and a beam of light invisible to the naked eye shone on the fire. The flames that had been dancing with teeth and claws instantly became much calmer, but if you could see the roast suckling pig under the sand, you would find that every part of the piglet's flesh and bones were heating up and roasting at a very fast rate.

"Well, that's it for the simple version of the nuclear-free radiation fusion charcoal grill. Aha, that's right. Sister Captain, are you here? The foodie, who had just buried a pot of small potatoes in the fire, stood up and welcomed his teammates with open arms.

"We're going to have a meal too, you don't mind, do you?" Han Yiwu put his arm on Horii's shoulder and approached with a smile.

"Of course. However, there may not be enough to eat. "For the members of the Wood Squad, which can almost be regarded as the closest brother of the victory team, foodies are naturally quite welcome.

"What about your eyes? Didn't you see me and Yan Xiangbi carrying so many things on our backs? ”

"Yo, Purple Fur. It's good that your hair has grown. ”

"Wow, damn it! I'm going to duel with you! Sky Cloud! ”

"No problem, you can do some small exercises to help digestion after eating."

However, under the suppression of the two authoritative captains, the quarrel between these two very restless guys could not be made until the end of the feast.

With a pork leg that was constantly dripping oil, it looked very hot, pointing at Mayumi, who was smiling and talking to Lina more than ten meters away, and the foodie took a big bite of meat and spoke. "No fun?"

She said to be friends. I'll wait until she wants. ”

"Alas——。 Yi Ling, you ......" Xincheng, who was holding a glass of juice at some point, also sat next to the two of them, "As her brother, I see your dedication." But I respect Mayumi's own choice, so I can only hope that she can get out of that love that can't last anymore on her own. ”

"Haha...... You don't have to think about how to persuade wood. Since he has decided, he will not regret it. This kind of guy who goes all the way to the end and doesn't look back when he hits Nanshan is very determined. You might as well consider your significant other. Without waiting for Xincheng, who was choked and coughing by Tianyun's surprise attack, the foodie who had already eaten a pork leg staggered to the fire and began the second round of foraging.

Together with Horii and Yerui, he looked at Megumi in a coconut tree as if fascinated, and made a gesture of cheering and charging, and Tianyun, who was holding a large pot of various fruits in the back, found Dagu who was staring into the distance and thinking about his life.

"Have you made your decision? The spirit net is still waiting for the final certification. ”

"That bastard walks freely, but what is my existence?"

"He has been integrated into the entire universe and has become the cornerstone of the existence of the entire universe. Well, one of the cornerstones. As for your little awkwardness. Your own answer to the question of the final authentication of your identity by the spirit web can solve this tangle. ”

"It's the same answer as when the original spirit net was born."

"Then you're still tangled in a fart, a human named True Horn Dagu by your own parents! Well, with the support of a human like you, who knows those two rules in depth, I'm more confident about solving Gatanjee. At least you don't have to be prepared to sleep for hundreds of years. Thank you! Tianyun patted Da Gu's shoulder fiercely, and then rushed to the beach, where he would be his lifelong partner in the future. Leaving the seaside Dagu holding his arms stunned as a background.

"Lina!"

"What's the matter?" Lina drizzled a mushroom sauce as she picked up a plate of freshly grilled steak.

"If it goes well, we can officially get married in a year!" Tianyun hugged the little witch who was "frightened" by the content of his words, and by the way, he sent the poor steak that was only one step away from being in close contact with the sand to the picnic cloth not far away.

"Yikeβ€”β€”! What are you talking about? ”

"Everyone who has a partner is welcome to hold a wedding with us, and those who don't have a partner should seize this year's time and try their best to fight for this rare opportunity!" After the slut finished shouting, he turned to Jiaoyan in front of him and said, "Come, little witch." Let's take a closer look at what the wedding will be in a year's time. Ay! Don't run! Time is tight, and the task is heavy. And a lot of things need to be done by yourself. ”

At 10:34 a.m., 135 minutes after the slut raised his own banner of death, the human battle against Gatanjee and his minions officially began. The first batch of 83 ICBMs loaded with mobile high-explosive warheads rose from the land of the Dragon Nation and roared into the sea shrouded in black fog released by Gatanjea. Bursts of violent tremors erupted from the pierced black mist. Ninety seconds later, a welcoming queue of 78 from the Stars and Stripes also pounced on Gatanjee with enthusiasm.

As the ICBM strikes of the major powers began, the fleets assembled in the waters south of the Hawaiian Islands to provide close fire support also began to move south under the orders of the joint command. Immediately after this piecemeal of all countries, with a total of only 15 battleships, was the main fleet of the decisive battle. 12 heavy aircraft carriers with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons, 55 large destroyers of the latest countries, 11 attack submarines and 19 non-combat ships for logistics and medical care. Of course, even more spectacular is the floating cruiser that floats at an altitude of 300 meters above the surface of the sea. Although it was a little petite compared to the huge size of the aircraft carrier, the six smallest ships were all more than 180 meters long, and after the flying weapon platform lined up in the sky, a huge shadow enveloped the entire sea fleet. All the ships advance in unison, and the powerful momentum that nature emanates unmistakably declares the sovereignty of human civilization over the earth to the black fog region where Gatanjee is located.

Lu Wu No. 9 specially equipped floating cruiser.

"In fact, although it is said to be a decisive battle, since the appearance of Gatanjee, we humans have entered a decisive battle of life and death. Until now, all the large urban agglomerations are still facing the attacks of dozens of monsters and all kinds of strange monsters, and the armies of various countries are still swearing to the death to hold on to the blood-stained positions inch after inch. Han Qianjun's eyes alternately flashed with the heroic posture of countless soldiers fighting and the eyes of nostalgia for the world when they were seriously injured and dying.

"Our desperate resistance centered on the city cluster has continued to disperse the forces of Gatanjee, and their sacrifice has made our chances of victory in this decisive battle much higher." Speaking out was Admiral Seliol, the current commander of the Pacific Command of the Stars and Stripes Nation and one of the deputy commanders of the joint command.

"Commander, reports of the rapid evacuation of Zoga and Melba have come from various theaters such as the imperial capital, Tonghai, Paris, and New York. Gatanjee also moved faster to 45 kilometers per hour. At this rate, after 60 minutes, our advance fleet will be in contact with the Black Mist area. ”

"It seems that Gatanjee also knows that he is not safe, and he wants to gather more cannon fodder faster. Order the troops in all parts of the country to do their best to stop the movement of flying monsters and monsters such as Zoga. At the same time, notify the peripheral ships to increase the alert range to strictly prevent the enemy's air raid! ”

"According to the preset plan, 12 more airships will be lifted into the air, and the fleet must be given enough time to react." Serol followed behind Han Qianjun and added.

"Understood!" The herald trotted away.

"It's becoming less and less likely that there will be a war of attrition for growth. I just don't know if it's good or bad for us. ”

"Hmm." Seliol puffed two cigarettes from the cigarette case and handed one to Han Qianjun. After a while, the room was filled with smoke.

In the soul vortex, Tianyun smashed his mouth. Well, if he still has a mouth in this state. "Nearly three hundred rounds, the big guy hasn't even consumed 1% of the area covered by this bastard's black fog. Oh, in addition to reducing the inventory of the armament warehouses of several large countries quite a bit. ”

"163 missiles with white stone powder added to the warhead arrived in 15 seconds."

"Experiments, there is always a comparison to know. Snacks, recording data. ”

"Understood!"

With the almost ubiquitous coverage of the Spirit Net on Earth, Snack found that this batch of missiles from the northwest land of the Dragon Kingdom was rapidly approaching the Black Fog Region seemed to be of great concern to Gatanjee. Countless Zoga juveniles poured out of the black fog area like a black magic cloud, completely disregarding their own safety and blocking the missile's path. One missile after another exploded prematurely after being directly hit by their bodies.

"Sure enough. Baishi will have a significant loss of these black mist, otherwise Gatanjee will not let his doglegs, even if they are cannon fodder-level doglegs, be finished in vain. This information was immediately communicated to the Joint Command, and it was recommended that in addition to conventional fire projection, the attack of missiles and artillery shells with white stone powder should be increased. ”

"But the technique of condensing the white stone is ......."

"It's not like I don't know. Nine days ago, Masaki was only successfully condensed for the first time at the Chenguang base, and he almost scrapped the bagel core. Do your best. Use as much as you want. The main purpose of this information is to increase the confidence of our human beings to fight again. The human will is still too fragile now. The timing of this whetstone is not bad. ”

Piercing sirens sounded on the fifteen battleships in the vanguard, and less than fifty kilometers ahead was the dark realm that Gatanjee had created with the black clouds he emanated.

Babbling——。 As the loyal guardian of Gatanjee, several elite-level Zoga flew out of the black mist, and the sea and the sea surface looked strange and countless black monsters also quickly pounced on the forward fleet.

The commander of the Forward Fleet was Vice Admiral Fang Bing, the former deputy commander of the East China Sea Fleet, who recovered from wounds he was wounded in the battle to intercept Zoga in the East China Sea. Commander Fang gave an order and fired! Extremely thick metal armor, triple turrets weighing more than 2,700 tons each, and 15 battleships that are far more secure than aircraft carriers, form a horizontal battle artillery formation on the sea surface. 135 460-mm guns fired a salvo, and the huge force of the shelling shifted the entire battle line to the rear by more than ten meters.

The point of impact of a cannonball was a mass of shriveled bones flying with cloudy sap, and the various monsters that swooped down from the surface of the sea collided head-on with the most powerful artillery ever in the world. The missile launch bays on the battleships of various countries that have been modernized and modified have been opened one after another, and the ship-to-ship missiles have begun to dive into the sea almost immediately after they have risen from the battleships. The proximity fire system was fully activated, and a dense metal storm swept across the 100-meter area ahead, turning all enemies within the system's fire range into pieces of various sizes. But even this density of firepower projection still can't stop the monsters that continue to move forward against the torn kind. There are constantly black monsters approaching the hull and crawling up along the outer edge of the ship, and of course, there are also many monsters that directly use their sharp claws and fangs to start feeding on the armor layers above and below the battleship's waterline.

"Let's go!" Each ship is equipped with a team of guardians, under the cover of elite special forces from various countries, and begins a more intense hand-to-hand battle every moment. From time to time, the slime of monster corpses splashed all over the deck of the battleship, and of course, many human heroes died heroically here.

As for the number of heads in the air, Zoga was naturally rounded up by the members of the victory team that communicated with monsters the most in the world. After the two Thunderhawk fighters piloted by Xincheng and Lina each entangled one of the Zoga, the Victory Feiyan EXJ and the others from Munakata and the four Feiyan No. 1 planes responsible for the interception began to kill the remaining Zoga one by one in the support fire of 1050 small arms platforms converted from the eggcone that flew out of the Yatdis Gnaku.

For the cone weapon platform, which has almost zero defense, the tactic of running if you can't beat it has long been written into your program, and if you can't run away, you naturally don't hesitate to rush to Zoga for a gentle but still refreshing massage, and don't waste the opportunity to come to this world.

"Dagu."

"Okay. I've been pretty much rested these days. If you go back to sleep, your skeleton will fall apart. A huge pillar of light shone in front of the Atlantis, and Tiga kicked off his first battle in the decisive battle with a powerful and ferocious flying kick. Zoga, who was showing off his might in the cone group, was killed by Tiga with a headshot. Immediately, after the recent high-intensity training and fighting, Tiga's body became more and more sturdy, and his body turned into a shining lightsaber, fiercely piercing into the range of the black mist released by Gatanjee.

"Strategic bomber group A arrives at operational coordinates after 145 seconds, heavy bomber group B after 80 seconds, and carrier bomber group C after 35 seconds. The carrier-based fighter formation and the fighters belonging to the TPC Yatdis have gained air supremacy. ”

"Fighters are on high alert! Clusters of bombers immediately began to drop bombs in batches! ”

"3 detected. No, 45 high-energy reactions! ”

"46 combat aircraft lost signal!"

"As with the results of the deduction, as long as Gatanjee officially launches power, these ordinary bombs will have no effect at all. No explosions, no fires, no sounds. It was as if swallowed by the terror of the black mist. Seliol looked up at the footage and data from several surveillance devices on the screen, frowning.

"The kind of black fog attacks that several coastal commands, including your Pacific Fleet Command, have been breached, with the exception of TPC's headquarters base due to the installation of experimental energy shields, all of them have been breached in a very short period of time. Heavy casualties. This black fog has no mass response, and conventional weapons and physical barriers have no effect on it. It seems that this time the same is true of hundreds of precision-guided bombs. "It seems that Han Qianjun, who has decades of military experience and participated in and commanded more than ten combat missions, is also very troubled by this enemy who can't be beaten by himself, let alone can easily kill himself." However, the powerful beam weapon has some restraint against this black mist. ”

"Order the main fleet to press, and with full firepower, cooperate with the battleships in front to form a fire network. Take advantage of our long-range firepower. Targeted, according to the density of the monster impact, suppress the enemy from the bottom line of the black fog area. With the exception of the command ship, the Lugo-class floating cruisers advanced into the sky above the battleship and opened fire with all beam weapons, strafing the edges of the Black Mist area. After suppressing the impact on the front line, cover each other and retreat 20 nautical miles. Re-replenish ammunition to build a front. After Han Qianjun and Serol glanced at each other, they directly decided to let the five floating cruisers come forward to cover the attack, and by the way, the coverage of the black fog was depleted.

"I'll do it, old man. The spirit net commanded, and all combat units on the front line immediately stopped firing. "The sky above the floating cruiser was like a whole sky was violently torn apart, and the huge and incomparable soul vortex began to move, and the soul vortex that converged the glow of its human will only slightly stretched its force field, enveloping the battleships and fighters at the forefront of mankind, and easily dragged these big guys, who were the lightest, dozens of tons, and even more than 70,000 tons, and the heaviest ones backwards. However, the invisible boundary where the soul vortex tightly touched the black mist area suddenly shone with countless blue-white and purple-black huge currents. A few seconds later, Tiga's swift figure once again flew into the air in the form of a pillar of light through the black fog, and personally went into battle to hunt down Zorga's Atlantis. The Drake's main cannon of the Atlantis was rapidly recharging, and in an instant, a thick pillar of colored light swept across the upper layer of the black fog area, erasing a piece of the black fog as if it had evaporated.

The first contact between the humans and Gatanjea in the decisive battle ended with the retreat of the human front and the somewhat awkward retreat of supplies. Of course, if we look at the research of military historians of various countries after the decisive battle, this seems to be the beginning of a small defeat, but in fact, it is the key time point for human civilization to carry out a deeper growth and transformation.
