The main gun of the "Jade Dragon" is actually not a cannon at all.

The "Xiangyun" class inner defense circle ship platform to which it belongs, claimed to be a space-based weapon platform, was actually limited by the conditions of the year, and only two types of weapons were assembled according to its two main functions.

One is the electromagnetic railgun that is used to lock on to those tricky distortions that are cruising in the middle and upper part of the atmosphere, with both high-altitude and high-speed attributes, and perform point kills, which has an amazing single killing efficiency. It is customary to call it a "secondary gun".

The other is a weapon of mass destruction, the so-called "main gun", set up specifically for the aberrant "nests" in the wilderness, as well as a few aberrant individuals that are unimaginably powerful. The "main gun charging" that the non-commissioned officer refers to is strictly speaking just charging the launcher.

With the military's strategic posture in the wilderness, from "defense" to "counteroffensive", and gradually gaining the initiative, new types of war weapons have also emerged in an endless stream, and the "Xiangyun"-level platform has basically withdrawn from the front line, and now it is engaged in scientific research, fighting birds, helping to clean up high-altitude waterways, and basically no longer carrying out ground attack missions. But after all, it is still in a state of readiness, the ammunition base is halved, and the main gun "ammunition" also has one shot.

Claire doesn't worry about anything else, just worried that these bastards on the ship whose sense of responsibility is in a low state have not had a combat mission for a long time, and if they are not careful, there will be an operation error, and they will throw out the deadly thing in the magazine - the explosion will not explode, without ground authorization, this thing is just an iron lump, but if you really want to let it float in the atmosphere, they will soon become a joke for the Aerospace Forces, and by the way, the Aerospace Forces will become a joke for the whole earth.

Although there is a high probability that many people will not be able to laugh.

In fact, there is a precedent for this kind of unsmiling thing.

"Sir, ...... during last year's 'Dark Side Exercise'"

"You mean the Yoda."

Major Cao Kai understood in seconds, but he had no intention of changing the order, on the contrary, he also unfastened the buckle on the chair and flew up. During this time, he casually pushed the "crystal ball" to Claire, who instinctively reached out and grabbed it.

"So, I need my adjutant to focus. You'll just watch here for a while, and I'll clean up the housekeeping. ”

“…… Yes, sir. ”

What else can Claire say? Moreover, looking at the "translucent octopus" that suddenly arrived in his hand, he felt that it was really a surprise. I usually only look at this gadget from a distance, but it's the first time I've seen it up close.

He spun the crystal ball, and the little things inside were spinning, as if he couldn't get tired of it.

"How the hell did it survive?" Claire had no clue at all, and after two more shakes, the body of water sealed inside had formed a whirlpool. This time, the little octopus instinctively bypassed, sticking to the inner wall, and it happened that the head and one side of the eye were crowded here, and through the water light, it was distorted into a rather absurd appearance and looked over.

The two sides formed a pair of eyes, this is orange and red, I don't know what kind of octopus larvae is a small thing, the wrists and feet are not obvious, it looks particularly cute, but the eye structure is a little weird, the water light flickers, some dazzling blurs, and a little dizzy after looking at it for a long time.

Interesting! Claire became more and more determined to ask Major Cao Kai for it, this time not by playing, but preparing to ask for the exact same.

After all, Claire had a sense of responsibility above the level, and after a while, she quickly got back to business. After all, he is different from Major Cao Kai, he is a transfer officer, not a person to be retired, he has accumulated enough years of experience in the position of adjutant, and a bright future awaits him.

Claire was very attentive to the task arranged by Major Cao Kai, and he unconsciously played with the crystal ball while opening the tactical sand table. The large projection space that is transparent up and down presents the status monitoring map of the entire ship. He focused on the relevant system modules of the "main gun", first confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, and then took a breath and continued to check other modules.

Speaking of which, Major Cao Kai's suggestion of "warm-engine test" is still quite necessary, there has been no combat mission for nearly two years, and some problems cannot be found just by relying on the lightweight operation of the secondary artillery to hit the bird.

For example, the research institute that demarcated and ruled with them actually secretly changed the backup information line, which should have poached part of the platform's computing power. Well, this is a serious problem, right?

What does that mechanic sergeant do you eat!

If Claire was the chief officer, she would have to spray Myra with blood, but he wasn't, so he could only write it down first and report it to Cao Kai later.

"And, there's ...... Hey, slot 3. Claire directly reminded, "That lock operation is redundant!" ”

The tactical sandbox faithfully reflects the operational status of each system module, and also pushes some highly sensitive changes to the core work area. Claire saw the map of the target area displayed on it, and half-jokingly reminded:

"If you really want to bomb Hancheng, the location is also out of place, it is the area of Beishan Lake, and the tactical nuclear bomb in the magazine is only 50,000 tons of yield, and it can't even cover the surface of the lake...... Stand 3? ”

The answer to Claire was the silent back of the non-commissioned officer operating the No. 3 position.

The silence lasted for at least 5 seconds, and from the second onwards, Claire felt that something was wrong.

In fact, during this time, except for the non-commissioned officer of the main gun operation in the opposite position, that is, the one who reported that the main gun was energized earlier, turned his head and glanced over to this side, the others remained silent and did not make any movements—this was the case since he entered the command cabin.

As for the one in the No. 3 position, even if he said it to his face, there was no sound.

Wrong!

Claire reached for the beam gun on her waist, not trying to do anything, he still didn't understand what was going on, this action was just an instinctive reaction. But halfway through the hand, he found that he was still holding a crystal ball in his hand, so he was stunned.

At this moment, his palms were inexplicably cold, as if something cold and sticky had penetrated the outer wall of the crystal ball and made contact with him.

Claire was startled, and instinctively shook her hand, but only halfway through the swing, a strong paralyzing sensation spread from the palm to the entire palm, to the wrist, the elbow joint, and then like the electric shock, it instantly spread to the whole body.

"Ugh!"

Claire uttered a meaningless syllable and froze in her seat, locking his body in a fastening clasp that kept him in the same sitting position as before, almost indistinguishable from the silent ones in the seats.

In weightlessness, the crystal ball floats from the paralyzed palm, and the miniature octopus swims in it, as if it were controlling it all.

Claire did suspect that the paralyzing toxin that was now raging on him was the work of the miniature octopus. If so......

The hatch of the command cabin opened again, and Major Cao Kai, who had gone to "clean up the housekeeping", re-entered. The supreme commander of the "Jade Dragon" turned a blind eye to the scene in front of him, as if this was the norm on the ship. He didn't go to retrieve the floating "crystal ball", but just returned to the command seat, and then began a series of operations.

Claire, whose neck was frozen, didn't even have the strength to turn her head, she couldn't see the situation above the side, and only heard a short prompt sound sounding continuously. On the tactical sand table, the light and shadow changed, and the locked target, which had been highlighted before, became clearer and clearer, and round after round of operations were carried out around it.

"Crazy, crazy!"

Claire's throat, which was already a little paralyzed, made a muffled sound, at this time, even if he was a fool, he could guess what Cao Kai wanted to do!

A stream of blood rushed up, rushing open his throat and making him roar: "Sir...... Cao Kai! Have you had your brain eaten by bugs? ”

Claire didn't know why Cao Kai did this, and he was doing this kind of meaningless stupid thing: "You're funny, aren't you?" Without ground authorization, even if you forcibly put a nuclear bomb on the launch pad, what it sends out is just an iron lump, at most it will explode in the thermosphere, what else can you do except a little bit of nuclear contamination? ”

Cao Kai did not speak, and continued to operate accordingly.

Claire looked at the various commands and permission interfaces that jumped and flashed on the tactical sand table, and her eyelids jumped violently. He really didn't understand that under normal circumstances, the operating procedures that required the cooperation of seven or eight people to achieve could be achieved by Cao Kai alone...... Oh, counting the non-commissioned officer who is bound to have a problem with the main gun, two people can push it, and it's still so fast!

Moreover, there are at least two links that need to be reported to the ground, which are inexplicably skipped, and all the permission locks and security doors are in vain.

There are also fellow party members on the ground? Or is Cao Kai himself a super hacker who hides deeply?

Thousands of thoughts, all kinds of doubts, in the end only turned into one sentence:

"Why?"

When these words came out, Claire's mind cleared up. The reason why he asked was that on the one hand, he really didn't understand, and on the other hand, he wanted to wait for change.

Cao Kai still didn't respond, just stuffy.

Claire could only find no words, trying to fight against the paralysis of her throat and mouth: "Let me guess, it's because I want to retire...... Early retirement? ”

"Yes." Cao Kai actually spoke, and his answer was particularly refreshing, just like the beeping beep beep of his subordinates.

"What the hell is this! Is this your reason for bombing Hancheng and taking revenge on society? ”

"First of all, I'm not bombing Hanjo; Secondly, I did not take revenge on society. Cao Kai's voice did not have the taste of laziness and casualness earlier, "My target, as you can see, is the Hancheng Ping Trade Zone on Beishan Lake, and the target of revenge is also there. ”

"Aha?"

"Didn't I say that? I didn't say it, because Lao Tzu belongs to the close contact of aberration infection, there is a so-called 'infection' threat, and then he will be forced to retire? Ah, I really forgot to mention it. ”

"Distortion?" Claire really didn't expect it to be this field.

"Hehe, if everyone is the same, that's fine, but do you have one in Putrajaya? Oh, you're in Europe, then this part of East Asia, Spring City, that guy in Spring City, has become a hero and a star...... Not to mention the New World, why is Lao Tzu in Lake City, this ghost place is doing such a thing? Directly to the military department? ”

Claire would love to shout, it's probably just a reason for some people to fix you!

But what's the point of discussing this? In contrast, Cao Kai's targeting of Hancheng is even more unreasonable.

"Hucheng has rectified you, you take revenge on Hucheng, what's the matter with Guanhan City?"

"My wife and children are there."

This reason is so powerful, Claire was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Of course, that's just one of the reasons." Cao Kai completely opened the conversation box, and talked endlessly, "Discrimination against aberrant infected people is never an isolated case, nor is it aimed at me personally, the stupidest thing for the weak is nothing more than to be submissive and fight alone, like me, I can only huddle together for warmth." So, this time I'm not just for myself, not for myself, but also for the poor worms like me, who have been labeled because of a so-called aberrant infection, and may be thrown into the laboratory at any time to squeeze the blood, sweat, and oil......"

"What bullshit logic!"

"Isn't it? The flat trade zone in Hancheng is indeed bullshit. How many homeless people fill in every year, how many aberrant infected people ......"

Claire was amused: "You idiot, even if this is the case, if this cannon goes down, the laboratory can be rebuilt, the scientific researchers can be recruited again, and the data is backed up, and the thousands of homeless people and aberrant infected people who are still alive over there are all finished!" ”

"Yes, that's it. That's how I help them, help them get rid of the uncleanness and pain of aberration. ”

Claire was stunned for a moment, and finally discovered the most ridiculous point inside: "Even you discriminate against yourself......"

"I don't deny it." Cao Kai's tone was very calm, "Some people are intoxicated with the ugly power and mode of existence of distortion, but we don't, our Order, what we are pursuing is the Kingdom of God that is jointly constructed by the power of the soul, and we want to wash away the mutations and tumors of matter with the torrent of holy light of the Kingdom of God." ”

“…… Cult? ”

"Whatever you want."

"Soul Order?" Claire's thinking went one step further.

The military has to screen and report on the religious orders on the list of illegal religions, and "jointly building the Soul Divine Kingdom" is the signature doctrine of the Soul Order, which is also one of the most active illegal religious groups recently.

Cao Kai acquiesced.

"Hehe......" Claire only had the strength to smile bitterly.

The military intelligence and censorship departments are all-eaters, such a madman who believes in a cult, you let him be the commander of the ship? Also, this technique that can circumvent authorization and launch a city-destroying attack on your own is hell going on!

In this potentially meaningless conversation, at least five or more authorization thresholds were broken without any response, and the corresponding feedback mechanism didn't seem to work, and the ground didn't even react...... Of course, it could also be disconnected.

Thinking in a good direction, maybe there will be countermeasures outside, and the ship doesn't know inside, and when it knows, it should have been broken to pieces by space-based weapons.

As for the bad direction, the ground woke up when Hancheng turned into a sea of fire, and then this side was shattered to pieces by the space-based weapons that realized it later......

It's all fragments, and it doesn't seem to be any different.

The thought turned, and Claire's body became more and more paralyzed. He couldn't help but think, maybe he died directly in the poisonous kiss of the "octopus"?

He turned his gaze with difficulty, the thing that used to feel cute, but now only felt terrifying, floated in the light and shadow of the tactical sand table, and happened to be near the Hancheng area, like a demon's seal, stuck on it, it was to mark death.
