Chapter 279 of the text is the threat of American space-based weapons

Next chapter

(There is something to do today, a change, sorry!) ）

The Pentagon no longer has the same sense of majesty as it did half a year ago, and many people don't have the confidence to seem to control the world.

Now, every staff member who enters and exits the Pentagon has a sad face, as if life is miserable and unbearable.

Because, the recent economic crisis has also affected each and every one of them.

The characteristic of the capitalist society is economic integration, and everyone living in this capitalist society is closely related to the economy of the whole society, and once the overall economy collapses, then no one can escape the impact.

In the central control room, a group of high-level officials gathered for a meeting.

The commander, General Mason, looked at the picture on the big screen with a stern face.

In the picture, there are images from five satellites, each of which is from China.

There is the capital city, the East China Sea, the south, and the northwest, all of which are representative cities in each region!

And the picture taken from the sky over Tokai City has a red circle on it, and in the center is a red origin, and there is a sense of urgency.

A scientist in a white lab coat next to him explained to General Mason: "General, theoretically, this is the maximum we can do so far. Energy-based space-based weapons cannot be completed overnight, and our investment in this field in the past was not high, and now we have just begun to increase our research, and it will take at least a few years to produce results, so we can only use physical kinetic weapons as much as possible. ”

The scientist switched the picture, and a cylindrical satellite appeared, and he pointed to the thick metal rod in the middle of the satellite, which ran through the whole satellite, and said: "This metal rod is made of tungsten alloy, with a melting point of 3,000 degrees Celsius, a hardness of 5.6, and a weight of 50 tons!" ”

"As long as we release it from an altitude of 40,000 meters, under the acceleration of gravity, it is equivalent to a meteorite with a diameter of 100 meters. And because the initial velocity is higher, the front end has been sharpened, and the power will be greater than that of a meteorite, as long as it hits here! ”

He pointed to the downtown area of Tokai City. That is, the location of the red point of light, and Yan said: "This area itself is a coastal area, which belongs to the active area of the earth's crustal plate, and it is easy to cause stratum shocks, after hitting. At least 70 percent of the entire city will be able to cause changes in the earth's crust......"

General Mason stared at the image motionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "What about the result?" ”

The scientist played a simulated cartoon, only to see that the simulated city area in the cartoon was hit by a pillar falling from the sky in the neutral area, and then all of them were reduced to pieces, and a large chunk of dirt on the ground rolled up, like a carpet that had been rolled up, and all the tall buildings collapsed in an instant, and debris flew all over the sky......

There is also the possibility of causing an earthquake!

In the blink of an eye.

The world's most famous cosmopolitan city is in ruins.

"This is the most perfect scenario we can envision, if we can cause the crust to break up in this area," the scientist explained. Not only the city, but also the surrounding areas will have aftershocks, which may cause an earthquake of no less than magnitude 5 in this large area! ”

General Mason took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, and stared at the satellite image on another screen.

A middle-aged man next to him said, "General, we should report this matter to the White House." ”

General Mason glanced at his subordinates coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I know what to do, and I don't need you to remind me." We've only launched five spy satellites, and if one of them has a problem. Falling from the sky, it's just an accident, just an accident, you know? ”

Just an accident?

The middle-aged man reminded in a low voice: "General." There are 30 million people there! ”

"I don't need you to remind you."

General Mason said in a deep voice: "You go and calculate, in the past week, how many more unemployed people in the United States have known, you will know what we are fighting for!" ”

The few soldiers around who wanted to speak immediately stopped talking.

In the past few days, the United States has suffered an economic winter, with a large number of employees in energy companies and auto companies losing their jobs, and the capital market has collapsed. Everyone is losing money, and more than a thousand people are committing suicide in a matter of days.

As a truly pure capital empire, if such a thing happens, then it is natural that there will be major capital giants behind the government pushing the government to do something.

The United States has prepared a thorough legislation to permanently ban the products of Magic Energy Technology, so that when everyone forgets about the products of Magic Energy Technology, then naturally they will continue to buy their own products, then the energy and automobile industries will recover again, and the United States will always hold the world's largest oil energy producer.

After all, no matter how good the products of Magic Energy Technology are, if the people in Europe and the United States can't buy them, they will give up.

On the other hand, the United States will not be inactive militarily.

It's time to light up your muscles!

Of course, it is certainly impossible to go to war.

At present, none of the major countries dares to go to war, and at most they are carrying out various exercises to show off their force and deter each other.

But what if it's an accident?

Last time, Wang Xiao played the combined fleet of Europe and the United States in the waters of the East China Sea, and he also used the satellite as an excuse.

But everyone who has seen it knows that any satellite test is an excuse, and at that time, Wang Xiao went to the combined fleet of Europe and the United States, that is, to sabotage the military exercises of their combined fleet!

After the incident, the countries of Europe and the United States, as well as Japan and other countries participating in the Combined Fleet, did not dare to take any military action, so they could only condemn it politically and add some economic repression.

Since, Wang Xiao was able to use the real yàn as an excuse at that time.

Why can't accidents happen to the Pentagon?

When a satellite passed over China, it accidentally fell!

Isn't that also a normal thing?

General Mason knew that the last time the combined fleet of Europe and the United States was molested, several major countries did not dare to go to war against China. Then, if a US satellite falls by mistake, China will not dare to really declare war on the United States.

Both sides have great fears, and once a war starts, it will be the result of the same end.

General Mason took a deep breath, still a little hesitant in his heart, so he said sternly: "Continue to adjust the number and wait for my order!" ”

Several of the scientists who operated the satellite agreed: "Yes, General! ”

………………

Far away on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the city of Tokai.

Wang Xiao sat in the office, looked at the pictures that the old chief passed to him, and said to the old chief on the phone: "You should already have the results, right?" ”

He didn't believe that so many experts in the country would not be able to see the cattiness in this.

The old chief said on the phone: "Yes, we have indeed studied it. These five satellites. Four of them were real spy satellites, but one of them carried only a metal rod weighing dozens of tons and no other communication equipment, just a transmitter. They must have wanted to use this satellite to create an accident. Falling, no matter which city on the ground it hits, the consequences are beyond our reach. ”

"Moreover, this satellite has been hovering over Tokai City, and I think their target may be Tokai City."

Say this. The old chief's own voice trembled.

When this conclusion was reached, all the members of the General Staff felt a chill in their hearts and lamented the ruthlessness of the Americans.

Donghai City has a population of tens of millions......

Moreover, Wang Xiao lives in Donghai City, which is something known to the whole world.

The other party's choice of the Middle East Sea Market is most likely to be aimed at Wang Xiao, followed by deterring China.

Wang Xiao is the core point of the world economic crisis, Wang Xiao died, his industry will lose power, there is no source of advanced technology.

Then China's technological upgrade will stop in an instant. If it doesn't work, the previous investment turns into a huge loss.

It can be seen that the United States is under tremendous pressure, and it seems that they have no other way but to use force to suppress China in an alternative way!

Otherwise, when China's industrial upgrading is completed, it will leap to the first place in the world economically, surpassing Japan and the United States, and becoming a developed country with a population of up to 1.5 billion!

Thinking about the emergence of such a huge developed country, all the politicians of Europe, the United States and Japan will tremble. At that time, China would not be able to stop it, unless there was a full-scale war.

"Chief, you can't do anything?"

Wang Xiao asked.

The old chief affirmed, "We must have a way, but it is too much to move. All we can do is take that satellite down now. The Pentagon has no way to control it. ”

"But, if you knock it off, won't that metal rod fall off?"

Wang Xiao asked.

"It's possible, but according to our observations, there is no gravity in that high altitude, as long as we move fast. So that they have no room to operate, and they will not fall. If it really falls, then we have to launch many missiles one after another, and after destroying the satellite, we also have to affect the position of this metal rod and let it fall into the sea. ”

The old chief said sternly.

In this way, they have the initiative.

They have already discussed it and come up with several solutions, each of which is to be done first, but then even if the crisis is resolved, they will fall into political passivity, and may really be isolated by the whole of Europe, the United States and Japan, as was the case with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

However, if you passively wait for the other party to act, it will be difficult to succeed.

Therefore, he came to Wang Xiao to ask if there was any other solution.

Wang Xiao is a person who is good at creating miracles, and he is also the person who has the most insight into the mysteries of the universe on earth, and they all think that Wang Xiao should have a way.

In fact.

Wang Xiao really began to think quickly in her heart at this moment.

For a metal to fall from space, it must have a high melting point, not lose mass due to air friction burning, and at the same time be hard enough and dense enough.

So, if you want to do it, you have to do it early.

Otherwise, when the metal rod falls and accumulates a large amount of kinetic energy, it will be too late, and even if a missile is launched, it will be difficult to hit it out of direction, and it will be possible to strike continuously, and it will be impossible to destroy it.

Wang Xiao quickly picked up a piece of paper, grabbed a pen and quickly wrote and drew on it.

Tokai City ......

"Can you set the time?"

Wang Xiao drew a large circle on the location of Donghai City on the paper and asked.

The old chief said hesitantly: "The exact time is definitely not, and the Pentagon itself does not have a definite time for the time being, and they are also hesitating." It's just that it's sure to happen in three days, they were launched yesterday, we have two days at most, and if you count the variables, we have a day at most to act. ”

"One day!"

Wang Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll try, but I can't guarantee success." So be prepared that if I fail by then, you will do whatever it takes to miss it! ”

Although it is difficult for the metal rod to deviate from the direction after accumulating kinetic energy, as long as the continuous missile attack is carried out at any cost, it can still be hit off the target little by little, but it may not deviate too far, so the danger is still there.

The old chief sighed and said, "We have prepared for the worst, when the time comes, we will send someone to pick you up and your classmates' families, now you need us to cooperate with you!" ”

"I'll send you what I want later, and I'll deliver it within an hour!"

Wang Xiao also said sternly.

"Okay, no problem!"

The old chief immediately agreed.

Then, the two hung up the phone, and the old chief received Wang Xiao's email and immediately began to prepare.

Wang Xiao regretted a little, he should have installed more weapons on those two satellites, now only one satellite has a chance to use weapons, the military obviously does not want to use it at this time, the other satellite has no weapons, only a defense system.

Earth, as expected, is still very dangerous.

Wang Xiao has an impulse, one day, I live in space, I should be safe, right?

That's too far away.

To build a city in space, it would take at least him to break through to the realm of a legendary mage, and that would require the establishment of a complete ecological cycle.

Now, let's think about how to deal with this crisis.

Wang Xiao immediately picked up the phone and called Li Chengfeng: "Manager Li, bring all the nine energy blocks I brought back last time!" ”

It's a pity that it takes half a month for the energy tree in the desert to condense a batch of energy blocks, so now only nine of them are fully usable, and there are still some broken particles left.

Wang Xiao thought of the magic props in the villa where he lived again, which should have accumulated some energy, and the two energy containers of the material factory and the chip factory could also be used.

And the one from school!

Immediately, he picked up the phone and called Chen Jinxin again, asking him to suspend the production of the material factory and not consume energy. Then he called the chip factory again, and the same order was to stop production.

In the end, he called the school again, and he called the principal directly, telling the principal that he would go over and take the energy container immediately, and that the vacuum area might disappear temporarily!

Of course, Principal Lin has no problem, and he agreed! (To be continued.) )
