Chapter V: Retaliation
(Regarding the previous chapter of "Male Left and Female Right", there is no such song, this is just a word written by the author, just waiting for someone to compose a song one day.) Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info If someone has read this poem on the Internet and posted it under the pen name "Wind Through", that's right, it's me. )
On the battlefield of Taiya, Fengyu had seen too many warships being sunk and exploded, and at this time, he actually felt the shock wave caused by the explosion in his hometown of Lanthanum Zen L4, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly took Luo Yunxi's hand and walked back.
There was no such natural phenomenon as an earthquake in Space City, and Marshmallow couldn't understand what had just happened, but she was also frightened by the strong tremor and the solemn expression on Fengyu's face, and followed him honestly.
After walking out of the park, Fengyu drove straight to the Space City Police Department, which is also located in the city center. Pedestrians on the street stopped at this point, discussing in panic what had just happened.
"Maybe Space City was hit by a space meteorite!" Some of the older generation made such speculations, but they were quickly rejected by others. With the technology of this era, as the permanent point of Sky City, it is assumed that there is a perfect early warning mechanism and protective measures around the L4 Lagrange point, and it is impossible to be hit by a meteorite that has slipped through the net.
Only Feng Yu knew in his heart that this explosion was happening inside the Space City. And according to the observation of the "surface", there is no smoke and no fire, then the explosion should have occurred in the industrial area "underground". I just don't know how powerful the explosion is, what kind of damage it has caused to the space city, and whether it will endanger the lives of millions of residents.
After arriving at the police station, it was already a busy place, and the police officers were either busy contacting other units, or busy accessing various surveillance information in the space city, or running around to mobilize the police force. If it weren't for Fengyu wearing the uniform of a space military pilot, I am afraid that he would have been blocked from entering.
Finding the military liaison officer at the police station, Fengyu informed the other party of his judgment and asked for relevant information.
The liaison officer reassured him for a while, after all, the police still had to be responsible for the preliminary investigation, and it was not yet to the point where the military was needed to intervene. However, it has been confirmed that there was indeed a large explosion in the "underground" factory area, and the impact on Sky City is still being assessed, but judging from the current situation, it should not be too bad, because Space City has a set of strict self-protection measures.
Space City is actually in the same vein as a battleship, and even has its own engine for adjusting attitudes. Therefore, following some of the design concepts of the battleship, the Space City pays great attention to the partition between areas in order to prevent fire and air tightness. At this point, the explosion area has been completely cut off, so Space City is not afraid that it will suffer secondary damage.
However, the situation in the affected area is not optimistic, the mineral processing plant itself will produce a large number of toxic and harmful substances, after the explosion, many storage and purification equipment have been damaged, and a large number of harmful substances have permeated the entire partition area. If nothing happens, maybe no one will survive in that area.
Hearing this, Feng Yu's hairs suddenly stood on end all over his body, and he asked the liaison, "Where did the explosion occur?" Is it a refinery? ”
The liaison looked at him with eagerness, and he already understood seven or eight points in his heart, but this kind of thing couldn't be hidden, and after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded at Fengyu. "It's the refinery area."
Hearing this reply, Luo Yunxi, who had been listening quietly on the side, had dark eyes and suddenly became paralyzed. Fortunately, Feng Yu was quick with his eyes, so he quickly hugged her waist and let the girl lean on him.
The liaison looked at the girl apologetically and said to Fengyu, "Let's help your girlfriend to the lounge first, you can comfort her well, and I will inform you if there is further news." But don't get your hopes up, there shouldn't be any survivors. Her family works in a refinery, right? ”
It was only at this time that two lines of tears flowed from Fengyu's eyes. He and Marshmallow's parents, a total of four of them, worked in the refinery.
Lanthanum is rich in lanthanide metals, and the initial beneficiation and smelting work is carried out on the surface, while the later fine processing is arranged at the lanthanide refinery of Lanthanum Delados L4. It stands to reason that the safety measures in the refinery are very good, and even if there is an occasional production accident, it is a minor problem, and it is unlikely that a large explosion of this magnitude will occur, and there must be a problem here.
Half an hour later, new news arrived, confirming that the refinery had an anomalous energy reaction at the time of the explosion. This energetic reaction is not supposed to occur, in other words, it is an accident caused by man-made sabotage, to be exact, a terrorist incident.
As a terrorist incident, this was beyond the purview of the Space City local police station, who immediately reported to the Department of Homeland Security in Tianjing, while cordoning off the refinery and surrounding areas to see if there were any other explosives, and imposing martial law and exit restrictions in Space City.
At this time, Luo Yunxi also came to his senses, and was lying on Fengyu's chest and sobbing quietly.
Although Fengyu himself is also grief-stricken, he still coaxes his childhood sweetheart's playmate with all his heart. "Marshmallow, you have to be strong, Grandma Luo is old, if you cry yourself, who will take care of her? And if nothing else, I will stay in Space City for a month, and with me with you, we will be a family. You see you've finally become beautiful, and you're going to be ugly if you cry a lot. ”
Luo Yunxi is indeed a very strong girl, after thinking of the elderly grandmother in the flower shop, she immediately stopped crying, raised her head and said to Fengyu with red eyes, "Brother Xiaofeng, don't worry, I will take care of grandma." We are all gone, we will be a family in the future, forever and ever! ”
At this moment, Fengyu temporarily forgot about the MGAS-01 and the female medical officer Li Xingyan on the ship, forgetting the idea of returning early earlier, he just wanted to take good care of this little sister who had been with him for more than ten years. "Come on, Yunxi! Let's do it together! I will definitely find the murderer and avenge our mom and dad! You have to take care of Grandma Luo. ”
"Well, Brother Xiaofeng, come on! I'm going home first, I can't help here, I'm going back to accompany grandma. She probably doesn't know what's going on yet, she needs me! Luo Yunxi hugged Fengyu vigorously, then wiped away the tears on his face, left the police station, and took the electric bus home by himself.
Fengyu dropped her off at the station and returned to the police station. The current situation was a bit complicated, and it had not happened for a long time since a terrifying incident of this scale had occurred in the Tianjing Star Domain, which made him feel deeply uneasy. His intuition told him that there was a huge concealment lurking behind the incident, and as a soldier, he felt obligated to do his part for the safety and stability of his hometown.
After another half an hour, there was a sudden commotion in the police station, and the already very busy police officers showed a kind of panic at this moment.
"Two BU found underground!"
"The police are not equipped with guns and firepower!"
"The Wei'an squadron suffered heavy casualties!"
From the noisy noise, Fengyu vaguely heard the clue that two Mobile Suit BU appeared in the "underground" area of Lanthanum Derosis L4, that is, Fengyu's old opponent UAC standard iron ball.
Since the outbreak of the Colonial War of Independence in SC0041, the countries of the space age have had a clear agreement not to carry out any military action, including terrorism, against civilian facilities, and if discovered, they will be subject to severe sanctions by various countries.
And at this moment, two BU planes blatantly appeared in the civilian space city and created this appalling terrorist incident, could the UAC Federation dare to disregard humanitarianism so much. Although lanthanide metals, commonly known as rare earth elements, are indeed an indispensable strategic material, in the space age, their reserves are far more abundant than in the old era, and their value is no longer as decisive as it once was.
To put it simply, blowing up the Landanum Deonos L4 refinery will not have much impact on the new Asian Republic, at most it will make the price of lanthanide metal rise in the short term. It's a target with little strategic value.
Then Feng Yu thought of the battle in the K Star Field, perhaps this was a retaliation by the UAC Federation for the destruction of the poacher fleet.
