Chapter 100: Traveling to North Dakota (Ask for Referral Votes, Ask for Subscriptions)
How did they find the missile silo?! How did you destroy the outermost silo cover?! ”
As a retired Marine Corps sergeant, Bob Brown. Eagle has an idea of the American triad of nuclear strikes.
The "Minuteman III" is currently the only land-based ICBM in the United States, and the "Peacekeeper" ICBM was decommissioned in 2005. The existing missiles are preserved at three air bases: Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, and Malmström Air Force Base in Montana.
The 90th Space Wing, the 91st Space Wing and the 341st Space Wing are responsible for protecting these deadly nuclear warheads.
It seems that the ICBM, which should be the country's most important weapon, is actually not so powerful. For example, the 91st Space Wing's armed force, the 91st Security Force, has just over 700 men and needs to guard 15 missile silos and 150 intercontinental ballistic missiles spread over 8,500 square miles.
Because of the rotation of personnel, four days of security duty will be followed by three days of rest and one day of training, and only 10 personnel will be assigned to each missile launcher. Six guards, a silo manager, a cook, and a two-person launch team were responsible for ten Minuteman III. land-based ICBMs inside the silos.
The guards seem to be very weak, but there have never been any problems with these silos, and the biggest recent safety incidents are only the 91st Space Wing leaving a box of grenades behind when traveling between the silos, and a fake silo catching fire when left unattended.
This is because the US military has set up a large number of fake silos in the middle of 15 real missile silos, and some of the fake silos are even two or three kilometers away from residential areas and are included in Google Street View.
The attacking lizardmen were able to find the real missile silos so easily, and they were obviously not ordinary people.
And the missile silo cover is 115.4 cm thick, with 90 cm of ordinary reinforced concrete and 25.4 cm of borate radiation-proof reinforced concrete, weighing 105 tons, and the pressure resistance is 7MPa, even if the terrorists find a real missile silos, they will not be able to destroy such a strong silo cover.
"We first went to Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, and you will know if you read the materials on the scene. The attackers took the MK21 vehicle of the Minuteman III, and the W83 nuclear warhead inside was 475,000 tons. We have to find it as soon as possible! ”
As a result of the US-Russia treaty on further reductions and limitations of strategic offensive arms, Minuteman III converted the MK12A vehicle into the MK21 single-warhead version at the time of the mid-term refinement. This made it easier for them to search, otherwise it would have been a nightmare to find a few smaller sub-warheads without a clue.
If this and the warhead detonate over the center of New York, the shock wave would even affect nearby Jersey City, and the entire downtown New York City would be a sea of fire and ruins.
Although the Pentagon does not believe that the attackers will be able to unlock the keys and safety devices placed on the nuclear warheads, S.H.I.E.L.D. will do everything in its power to ensure that the worst does not happen.
A huge Quint fighter stopped on the lawn outside the hospital. Peter. Parker and Bob. Eagle walked into the cabin, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, with a large number of advanced equipment in the fighter plane.
The Kun fighter activated the stealth mode and disappeared directly into the air, and the fuselage shook for a while, suspended in the air under the strong power of the two engines. The jet vent located in the tail of the fighter jet spewed bright flames, driving the fighter to accelerate and climb rapidly towards North Dakota.
The size and weight of the nuclear warheads are very large and difficult to move, and S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately blocked all transportation arteries in North Dakota after receiving the news, and the nuclear warheads must still remain in the state.
The other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had already arrived at Minott Air Force Base ahead of time, and Natasha had come to New York specifically to take Bob. Eagle and Peter. Parker's.
Without the help of the two of them, even elite S.H.I.E.L.D. agents wouldn't necessarily be able to stand up to the mysterious lizardmen.
Bob. Eagle looked in amazement at the ground that skipped at high speed. Less than a year after he retired from the army, he was quite familiar with the weapons and equipment of the US military in active service. Not to mention the air combat capability of this fighter, the optical stealth capability and vertical take-off and landing capability displayed by this fighter alone are at least 30 years ahead of the US military.
Natasha turned on the 3D projection in the cockpit of the Quint fighter and began to play video from the cameras inside the silo.
The lizardmen destroyed most of the cameras, but a recently installed camera survived and recorded the precious video.
The lizardmen in the video are much thinner than the average person, and they don't have the exaggerated muscles of the lizardmen in the New York City riots. His tail was also shortened, and he had a sharp dorsal fin.
He stood on a personal flyer that resembled a skateboard, laughing wildly and attacking the armed men in the silos.
"Remembered?"
Natasha asked.
"I don't have the impression that he is very different from all the lizardmen, at least we don't have such exaggerated dorsal fins, maybe maybe the lizard is of a different species."
Cade. Eagle shook his head.
"Because each organism has different genes and body types, it is necessary to adjust the parameters in the attenuation rate formula when making serum. The attenuation rate formula is known only to people in the cross-species gene transplant project. If the lizardman had used a different kind of lizardman, we could easily find clues about the lizardman through the project team. ”
Peter. Parker said that his thinking was very clear, and at once it provided a crucial clue.
The breakthrough in the cross-species gene transplant project came after he provided Professor Connors with a formula for the decay rate, and only a few people had the ability to produce animal serum.
"This clue is very important! I'll report back to HQ and ask them to investigate everyone on the project team, do you have any suspicions? ”
Natasha was a little excited, and the Osborne group excused himself by saying that all the experimental materials had been snatched by a group of unknown armed men pretending to be security, and that even a three-year-old would not believe such a lame lie. correct
Because of this, they didn't know much about this mysterious project, and they didn't know that making lizard serum wasn't as easy as they thought.
"Dr. Rada, who is an assistant to Professor Connors, but represents the interests of the Osborne Group, has a bad relationship with everyone on the project team."
Peter. Parker immediately thought of Dr. Rada.
"I suspect that he is the source of those lizard serums that appeared at the New York City Veterans Hospital."
