Chapter 877: The Continental Plate Sinking Stops
After five hours of crustal motion, the SECCO plate began to slowly slow down.
Although earthquakes and volcanoes are still ongoing, the subsidence of the continental plate has largely stopped.
"What about plate sinking?"
Admiral Rhodes looked at the time, and the scheduled decisive battle was approaching.
If the SECCO plate does not sink as expected, then the decisive battle may not come.
The continental plate sinking planning team has been closely monitoring the progress, and when they heard the inquiry, a geological researcher got up and replied: "The average sinking depth of the SECCO plate is 4.3 kilometers, and there is a 0.7 kilometers away from the intended target. ”
"What is the expected final sinking depth?" Admiral Rhodes asked again.
"Now the crustal movement of the SECCO plate has begun to slow down, and the subsidence has basically stopped, and the final sinking depth is expected to stop at 4.37 kilometers." The geological research team was quick to respond.
"At this sinking depth, will the main nest of the Star Beast Civilization be flooded by magma?" Admiral Rhodes asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Wensheng shook his head and replied, "In the original plan, the sinking depth must reach at least 4.7 kilometers before magma can flood the main nest of the Star Beast Civilization, and 5 kilometers is a more stable sinking depth. ”
In the original calculation, the sinking depth of the SECCO plate would have to reach at least 4.7 kilometers to achieve the goal.
And the sinking depth of 4.7 kilometers is not safe.
Therefore, the planned intended depth of sinking was 5 km.
However, now the SECCO plate has only sunk 4.37 kilometers, which is still far from the minimum standard.
As long as the magma does not flood the main nest of the Star Beast Civilization, then the Star Beast Civilization can still be delayed, and it can even slowly transfer the main nest.
Human beings can't drag down the Star Beast Civilization on this planet that is not suitable for human survival.
Time is not on the side of mankind, so whether the SECCO plate can reach the original planned sinking depth will be the key to determining the fate of mankind.
……
The armies of all countries of mankind are ready for a decisive battle, and the allies are actively communicating with each other and waiting for the decisive battle to come.
White Eagle sent Esby, a think-tank adviser to the front, to request a video communication with Admiral Rhodes.
When the video communication was connected, three people appeared on the screen.
In the center is Doug Vane, the new commander of the White Eagle front, next to Esby and Foreign Affairs Officer Horns Carter.
Esby was the first to speak, praising him: "There are indeed geniuses in your think tank, and the plan to sink the continental plate can be successful."
"Theoretically, after the SEKO plate sank, the main nest of the Star Beast Civilization was destroyed, and it would definitely come out of the ground.
"However, judging from the current situation, there are not a large number of brain beasts coming out of the ground, and I have reason to wonder if your plan to sink the continental plate has really succeeded?"
Obviously, there is indeed talent in the White Eagle think tank.
Through the reaction of the Star Beast Civilization, the progress of the Continental Plate sinking plan can be inferred.
Admiral Rhodes replied with a blank face: "The movement of the earth's crust continues, so there is no need to worry." ”
Doug Vane, the new commander of the White Eagle, said in a deep voice: "Your explanation is very pale, according to the information that the intelligence department has just obtained, your Shenzhou space battleship is operating at the southern end of the eastern mountain range of the Saiko plate.
"If I'm not mistaken, there must have been a mistake in your actions.
"You should know that this is not a matter for your country, it is related to the fate of all mankind, and once you fail, you will be guilty of invoking the planetary defense nuclear arsenal without permission, which will make you sinners of mankind!"
As for the matter of calling up the nuclear arsenal of planetary defense, it is actually not difficult to deduce.
To sink the Seko plate, the nuclear bomb yield required must be very large.
Esby and his think tank only need a little analysis to know where so many nuclear bombs came from.
According to the provisions of the planetary defense nuclear arsenal, this is a nuclear arsenal belonging to all mankind.
Therefore, without a joint resolution of the Planetary Defense Council, it cannot be called privately.
However, since the current planetary defense nuclear arsenal is all used to supply the consumption of the beast guard's day-based cannon, the East China Sea has actual control.
Privately invoking this matter, just like the upper platform, will still become a crime that will be pushed to the military court.
Of course, whether this matter will eventually become a crime depends on the outcome.
If the Star Beast Civilization is destroyed after the Planetary Defense Nuclear Arsenal is called, then no one dares to take this matter seriously.
But once the plan for the sinking of the continental plate fails, then the outcome will be completely different.
When the time comes, someone needs to be held accountable for the failure of the plan, and the invocation of the planetary defense nuclear arsenal will become a crime.
"It's not your country's business......"
Doug Vane's words made Admiral Rhodes laugh dumbly, and said, "So you still know that this war is not a country's business?" ”
Since the beginning of this war, all countries of mankind have had their own thoughts, and there are only a few countries that have really gone all out to participate in the war, and all of them have been tied to the chariot by interests.
Therefore, Fang Yuan sometimes had the illusion that this war was his own country single-handedly fighting the Star Beast Civilization.
Doug Vane snorted coldly: "I will get the evidence that you have privately invoked the planetary defense nuclear arsenal, you better pray that your plan can succeed, otherwise you will go to the military court to explain!" ”
Admiral Rod's expression sank and he responded, "Admiral Doug, don't play your power games in the army.
"This war is won, there is still hope for mankind, and once it loses, the current tremor of the earth is the last elegy for human civilization.
"At that time, you should use your military tribunal to judge the higher civilizations. If they're willing to play this game with you. ”
As for the new commander of the White Eagle, Doug Vane, when he took office, his personal information was already clearly investigated.
Therefore, Admiral Rhodes knew all about his experiences.
This Doug Vane is not a general who has been killed on the battlefield, but has risen through the operation of power in the military system.
In other words, Admiral Doug Vane is not necessarily good at fighting, but he is really good at power struggles.
Esby, the adviser of the think tank, was more sober-minded and said loudly: "Admiral Rhodes, what we should think about now is how to win this war.
"If you're not mistaken, your plan to sink the continental plate should have encountered a problem, right?"
The activities of the Shenzhou in the eastern mountain range of the Saiko plate can be known at a glance with a satellite.
Therefore, it is not difficult to deduce the information that there is a problem with the sinking plan of the continental plate.
"At the southern end of the Eastern Mountain Range, there is an active brood of the Star Beast Civilization, covering an area of more than 50 kilometers in diameter, which has fixed the plate support arm, resulting in the sinking depth of the Saiko plate not reaching expectations, and we are actively looking for a solution."
There was no need to hide this, so Admiral Rhodes said it directly.
It would be great if other human nations had a solution.
