Due to the violent crustal movements, the SECCO plate began to break in large areas.

From the bird's-eye view of the satellite, you can see that large cracks in the north-south direction appear on the ground.

Even in some cracks, a fiery red glow could be faintly seen.

You don't have to think about it to know that it is magma gushing out of the ground after the earth has cracked.

With the sinking of the continental plate, groups of high-level star beasts crawled out of the ground, but more low-level star beasts were buried in the ground by collapsed caves and hot magma.

The damage caused by the sinking of the continental plate this time is far greater than that caused by the impact of the Angelis meteorite

The nations of mankind are well aware that a decisive battle is really coming.

All are mobilizing forces to prepare for the first planetary showdown in human history.

As long as you resist the desperate counterattack of the Star Beast Civilization, you can win this war.

If it can't withstand it, then the campaign of the past two years or so will be in vain.

……

In the front headquarters of the East China Sea Space Fleet.

Satellite monitoring reports in real time the changes in the crust of the SECCO plate.

"In the eastern area of the SECCO plate, the maximum sinking height is 3.6 kilometers, and the sinking speed is slowing down."

The geologists and researchers present were all calculating and coming to a conclusion.

"The situation is different from the forecast, the sinking rate has slowed down, and it may not reach the expected 5-kilometer sinking height."

When the results of this calculation were reported, everyone's hearts immediately stirred.

"Quickly find out, what caused the results to be different from what was expected?" Admiral Rhodes' face was grim, and even though something was not going to happen, he still didn't show any panicked expression.

Soon, the Continental Plate Sinking Planning Team figured out what went wrong.

"There was a problem with the No. 3 plate support arm, and the area of the No. 3 support arm did not sink as expected, so it should be that the blasting did not achieve the intended effect. The specific reason, unless you can personally go to the No. 3 plate support arm to see, it is difficult to know the real reason. Zhou Wensheng gave a preliminary conclusion.

Since all of the analysis is based on satellite footage and information from the Exploration Group's team of Awakened Forwards, the conclusion of the analysis can only be approximate.

However, from the satellite images, it can be clearly seen that the crustal movement of the three plate support arms is indeed the weakest in the area of the No. 3 support arm.

"Did all the nuclear bombs on the No. 3 support arm explode?" Admiral Rhodes asked.

"Judging from the signals sent back, all three nuclear bombs have exploded, and judging from the video transmitted back by the enforcement team, there is no problem with the installation of the nuclear bomb, and there is no problem with the explosion." A military staff officer replied.

Admiral Rhodes looked at Zhou Wensheng and asked, "What would have happened if the SECCO plate hadn't sunk as expected?" ”

Zhou Wensheng pondered for a moment and then replied, "According to the analysis of the geological structure, the Saike plate needs to sink five kilometers before the main nest of the Star Beast Civilization can be flooded with magma.

"If the Saiko plate doesn't sink five kilometers as expected, then the main nest of the Star Beast Civilization won't be too damaged.

"The impact on the main nest of the star beast is mainly due to large changes in temperature and environment, but it is not fatal.

"The Star Beast Civilization will move the main nest after this crustal movement is over.

"In the end, the Star Beast civilization has been hit hard, but the foundation of the civilization will not be destroyed."

After a moment of silence, Admiral Rhodes ordered: "Transfer the military scientific research team to investigate the blasting situation of the No. 3 support arm." ”

In this plan for the sinking of continental plates, there are three plate support arms to be blasted.

All are along the eastern mountain range of the Seko plate, so they are marked 1, 2, and 3 from north to south.

Among them, the No. 1 support arm is the farthest, and the military scientific research class is responsible for the No. 1 support arm.

The other two support arms are deployed to explode the nuke, which is completed by the other elite teams of the Awoken Force.

Now there is a problem with the blasting of the No. 3 support arm and it needs to be dealt with urgently.

……

Three minutes into the countdown to the detonation of the nuclear bomb, the Shenzhou had already set off to pick up Fang Yuan and a few people.

Eve had just piloted the MEKA into the belly of the Shenzhou, and before she could sit back in the driver's seat of the Shenzhou, she heard the order given by Admiral Rod.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Anya hurriedly repeated the order on the communication channel of the military scientific research class: "There is a problem with the blasting of the support arm of the No. 3 plate, and the headquarters has transferred us over to check the situation." ”

When Fang Yuan heard the order, he had just come out of the ground, and before he had time to return to the Shenzhou, he said directly in the communication channel: "You go directly, I'll wait for you over there." ”

Eve replied, "Yes!" Captain. ”

Then he controlled Shenzhou to turn around and move southward at full speed, targeting the southern end of the eastern mountain range, and the position of the No. 3 plate support arm.

Fang Yuan's speed far surpassed that of the Shenzhou, with a distance of 3,000 kilometers, and it took less than a minute to reach the target location.

The team of the Awoken in charge of the Arm 3 blasting mission is still nearby.

They also received orders from the headquarters of the Space Fleet.

Although it is not known why the No. 3 arm did not achieve the expected blasting effect, the plate arm they were responsible for blasting had a problem, which made them feel heavy pressure to save the mission from failure.

Fang Yuan crossed the sky, came to the team, and asked, "What is the situation now?" ”

The explorer in the team stood up and saluted, and replied, "All three nuclear bombs have been blasted according to the original plan, but the plate sinking has not achieved the expected effect.

"The original excavated passage has collapsed, and at present, it can only be explored to a depth of one kilometer, and the cause of the poor blasting effect has not been found for the time being."

After the nuclear explosion, the tunnel dug out of the original nuclear bomb has collapsed, and the high temperature generated by the nuclear explosion is not accessible to ordinary awakened people.

Fang Yuan flew around in the air, found a large crack in the ground, and then copied the "High-Dimensional Vision Eye" and put it in to investigate, wanting to see what was going on underground.

The ground in the vicinity is still shaking, indicating that the crustal movement has not stopped, but not as violently as the other two plate support arms.

Twenty minutes later.

The Shenzhou arrived, and Ye Zheyu also joined the exploration.

However, after a while, he reluctantly said: "The location of the nuclear bomb is ten kilometers underground, which is too much beyond the range of eye detection." ”

The "high-dimensional visual eye" has a very strong detection ability, but it has not yet reached the level of being able to detect a distance of ten kilometers.

Fang Yuan naturally understood this, thought about it and said, "I'll go down and take a look." ”

As he spoke, he copied the "high-dimensional shuttle", disappeared from the spot in an instant, spanned a distance of ten kilometers, descended to the position of the plate support arm, and appeared in an underground space supported by a boulder.

When I looked closely, I was shocked by what I saw.

At the place of the original plate support arm, huge tentacles appeared, and these tentacles were like tree roots, digging into the earth's crust and fixing the rock layers underground.

Moreover, these tentacles are still alive, and they are constantly taking root deeper.
