Chapter 313: A World in Chaos (1)

The adverse effects of the disruption of maritime transport have affected all countries of the world. The fact that large quantities of goods cannot be transported directly as in the past, and can only be transported by land or air in various ways, which seems to be much more petty and slow, is enough to make many small and medium-sized countries wail.

This is like the bull in the face of unrestricted submarine warfare during World War II, and the situation is even more serious. Those island nations that are unable to recycle themselves face the catastrophe of total destruction of the entire social system. In the modern industrial system, no one is immune. Those who have the money go to the mainland in advance, and when those flights stop for various reasons, the rest of them can only sit at home.

For some purpose, the three countries that currently share common interests have jointly planned this time to open up the Bering Strait, which is about 60 kilometers long, 35 kilometers ~ 86 kilometers wide, with an average water depth of 42 meters and a maximum water depth of 52 meters, the shortest sea passage between North America and the Asian continent.

In just a few months, hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered on both sides of the strait, which was not very lively, or even inaccessible. In order to provide logistical supplies for these troops, the three countries formed the largest joint command since World War II, and a steady stream of supplies was sent by land and air to several newly established bases.

The six F-22s shot down that day were only a microcosm of the huge losses that were lost throughout the operation, and their original mission was to carry out relay escorts to escort a fleet of ships carefully sailing along the coastline to the transshipment site.

But no one expected that this kind of thing would happen, a strange flying machine from the deep sea rushed out of the bottom of the sea, climbed at an alarming speed, and then shot down the fifth-generation aircraft that the Eagle Sauce family was proud of with the most primitive air combat weapons. It's basically a slash in it and a sprinkling of salt into it.

Despite this, Lieutenant General Panetta's report recommending the termination of the operation was dismissed, and the staff officers of the General Command, after discussion, concluded that it was already difficult to find a better place on Earth for their troops to conduct operations than in the Bering Strait.

"It's not so much that we want to fight, it's that the guys from the bottom of the sea actually want to have a face-to-face collision with us. If we win, it won't actually have any beneficial effect on the current situation, but if we lose, the negative impact will be enormous. At least until we get another breakthrough in technology, the ocean already belongs to those monsters. ”

This is the news that Lieutenant General Panetta got from one of his sources, and now the last three great powers on the planet have agreed that they will win the battle no matter what, even if they use steel to level the Bering Strait. As for why nuclear weapons are not used, the main reason is that the information obtained from Princess Nadia shows that the deep sea has some kind of super weapon in its hands that is even more powerful than nuclear weapons, and its lethality can even wipe half of the main monkey island off the map.

"It's ironic that we're throwing punches at an enemy who doesn't exist and we're getting hit and losing points, and I thought, I need to take a break. ”

After several changes, several institutions that were originally responsible for managing many superpowers in the country were integrated and reorganized, and finally became a special department under the name of the House of Elders. This department manages the more than 2.7 million superpowers currently known to the Rabbit Family, and is also responsible for their research, qualifications, and reemployment.

Most of the abilities acquired by these superpowers are not suitable for frontal combat, and few can be used for military purposes, but they have good prospects for development in industry and other fields.

Hundreds of people who are capable of manipulating metal structures and changing the properties of matter have been carved up by several domestic materials research institutes, and it is said that there have been considerable research results.

Some of those who are capable of manipulating fire, water, earth, and all sorts of natural matter have been sent for further development, and no further reports have been made yet.

Those with physical enhancement abilities will be treated better, because scientists have discovered some special cell structures in their bodies that are clearly different from normal human cells, and after all-out research, they have come up with three drugs that can improve the body's physique.

“...... This change cannot be completely classified as a genetic mutation or any other cause, it is more inclined to a benign mutation induced by some external force, to be precise, it is a kind of awakening of a sleeping gene. After comparison, we have found the location of this gene, but we have no clue what the specific external cause is. ”

Lian Wufeng knocked on the table and coughed: "At the same time, everyone should note that this phenomenon has a rather unique regularity in the area of the human body, just like Volunteer 111257 showed, except for the change in his hands, the other parts of his body are not affected by this. Of course, we are not yet sure whether this change will be permanent or temporary, whether it can be passed on to the next generation, and whether it can be activated by technological means. ”

The haggard middle-aged man looked around and saw faces as tired as him, these researchers hadn't left the lab for a long time, and the miraculous facts embodied in the abilities had kept their three views in the process of being destroyed and then rebuilt.

There is still no reasonable explanation for the abilities of those big stomachs, and even if they let them eat with tiny signal generators and cameras, they have not been able to find out where what they have eaten has gone. Dissecting the dissection revealed nothing unusual, as if a mysterious black box had been created in the stomach when no one was observing, and everything that had entered the stomach had been thrown into some unknowable space.

He rubbed his temples and whispered: "There are too many people involved in this emergency, and it is too far beyond our normal understanding, you don't need to be too anxious, at least for now, everything is changing for the better." He smiled reluctantly: "At least the superpower crime in the original plan did not appear, and our police can still control the situation." ”

A research group leader raised his hand and asked, "Director, when will the list of qualified persons that the 5173 Institute has asked us to draw up will be given to them?"

Hearing this, Lian Wufeng only felt a throbbing pain in his brain, "How many days are left?"

"Two days, three days at most, even those who have a synchronization rate of more than 40% will have to go through more than a week of training to become proficient in using that thing, and the 5173 side is already going crazy. ”

"Tell them, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll send them the list. He thought for a minute and made his decision.

"In addition, remind them that even if we have a few body-enhancing abilities at hand, they may not be able to last long in the face of that intensity of pressure, and if they really want to use it, I suggest they develop a remote control version. ”
