Chapter 84: The End Comes (3)
"Captain, the wing commander has sent an order to make every effort to rescue friendly forces."
The liaison officer's words woke him up, and Alfred glanced at the ruins of the Ipsisaurus standing like a lonely peak, and commanded loudly: "Leave the remains of the prison chambers of the two frigates, and the rest of the ships, dispatch all the transport planes and shuttles, and do my best to rescue those 3789 Division soldiers." ”
"Yes." The herald took the order.
Alfred let out a long sigh, his gaze swept over the reports that the intelligence officer had gathered into his hand, and a feeling that something was wrong welled up in his heart.
The scene outside the porthole is not only at the base of the 3789th Division, but also in the entire northern hemisphere, and even the southern hemisphere, the North Pole and the South Pole, which is an extremely rare super earthquake that affects the entire planet.
At this moment, in the face of the doomsday-level disaster, the excavation of the ruins and the encirclement of Tang Fang and others have been relegated to a secondary task, and saving the sergeants of the 3789 Division has become the primary goal. Because, even Lieutenant General Austin did not dare to bear the infamy of not saving his soldiers when they saw death. The ruins are there, and they won't run away on two legs, and those enemies will not escape the net over Nami even if they put on their wings under the frigate's cell.
Although Alfred had prepared for the worst, he could never have imagined that this was not an earthquake, but the real apocalypse, Na'vi's! Again, theirs too!
A magma fountain with a radius of tens of meters rose rapidly, and after melting a shuttle into iron slag, it continued to rise, like a wind in a big red dress and dressed as a demon. The young woman, with great enthusiasm, kissed the ass of a Shark-class frigate. The magma flow of up to 1,500 degrees was like a wave, directly throwing the frigate away, like a runaway kite, crashing headlong into the port side of a Tiger Shark-class destroyer, exploding a large ball of fire.
Affected by the explosion, a large hole was blown open in the port side of the destroyer, and the strong air pressure difference brought one crew after another with a miserable face, throwing them into the series of explosions of the frigate, or into the frequent eruption of magma fountains, or directly thrown into the nether, smashed into a puddle of meat and mud, and then baked into colorful pizza rolls.
Within a radius of 100 miles, the narrowest fissure has expanded to ten meters, and the hot magma is like a surging ocean, lapping against the crumbling plates in waves. The underground part gradually melted, and the scattered boulders became islands, floating and sinking with the churning magma.
The magma fountain's strength, diameter, and energy grew stronger and stronger, and Alfred's heart sank a little more as he looked at the energy fluctuation readings on the scanner that rose in a straight line, and the anxious faces of the crew. Is it really just a super earthquake?
As soon as the thought fell, another magma stream rose into the air, its jet speed was close to the speed of sound, and the area of influence was also a terrifying 100 meters.
White flames grazed against the starboard side, and a Shark-class frigate was half engulfed in a cloud of lava, then blown away like a baseball.
……
In just over twenty minutes, Nami Star was already stormy and precarious. The destruction continues, death spreads, and the number of orbiting satellites is full of reports of death.
Most of the people who survived the battle didn't have time to take a sip of hot tea, a sip of spirits, or even a puff of cigarettes, close their eyes for a while, and lose their lives in the massive earthquake that affected the entire planet.
Fate really likes to play tricks on people.
The USS Zeus aircraft carrier conference room of the Thunder Fleet, where Austin and his staff officers gathered.
Austin was coldly speechless, only a jumping eyebrow, showing the restlessness in his heart. The staff officers were silent one by one, not daring to say more.
Fall back? In vain? Prince Walker Stewart's main fleet, not only did not reap the slightest benefit, but instead took in a marine division. I don't know how many people will laugh off their big teeth, and I don't know how many people will lose their heads for it, even Austin will never feel good.
Not to mention that His Royal Highness the Prince can't accept such a result, His Majesty the Emperor will never give up, and just go back to his mother's house with his tail between his legs, maybe he will preserve the strength of the fleet, but the command class will inevitably suffer a major purge.
Lives matter? Or is the fleet important? Who will be the scapegoat afterwards? I'm afraid no one here wants to!
Hold on to your post and wait for the disaster to subside? In the face of such a massive geological activity, who knows if the ruins will be able to escape the catastrophe? Moreover, after reading the briefing sent back by the geological exploration ship, everyone had a worrying concern in their hearts that was doubly disturbing just thinking about it, but no one dared to say it in the face of Austin, who was angry but pretended to be calm and calm.
"General, the number has been summed up." The intelligence officer in the corner didn't dare to take a breath, and his voice was very low.
Austin didn't look back and said, "Pass it over." ”
"Yes." With a flick of the intelligence officer's index finger, the holographic projection instrument in the center of the conference table drew a curve in mid-air, along with the number of energy fluctuations of Nami Star during this time, as well as the assessment of the current shape made by geological exploration experts.
Looking at the step-by-step radiant energy readings in front of them, the eyes of everyone present widened.
How is this possible, in just three or five minutes, the energy level of Nami's earth core has soared by more than ten times, as if it is ...... It's as if more than 100 super-high-yield fusion bombs have been injected.
Na'vi is an old planet, far enough away that most of the fission elements in the earth's core have been exhausted, but now it is actually alive again, as if someone has prick the old man with adrenaline hormones, and he is rejuvenated.
If you continue to increase at the rate shown on the graph, then ...... Then it will die, and be blown up alive by the violent energy reaction of the earth's core.
Austin's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and his clenched hands on the table were a little white, which proved that he was nervous, and he was even more anxious than commanding a big battle.
"Tell me, what do you all think?"
"General, withdraw, Nami Star can't be saved." Everyone was silent for a moment, and an officer with gray temples stood up and spoke slowly. It was the deputy chief of staff of the fleet, Commodore Rodeo, the oldest staff officer under the Prince's command.
Austin took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the intelligence officer in the corner: "Has the situation changed in Na'vi?" ”
The young intelligence officer didn't know whether he was forced by the heavy pressure of the conference room, or was frightened by the greatly increased fluctuation value, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his cheeks: "Huh...... Tell the general, the value is still ...... Still climbing, more than ...... That's nearly double the growth from just now. ”
"What? Double! There was an uproar. That's nearly double in just one minute.
In the face of such a situation, no one in the entire conference room has any illusions, and the current Nami star is still a sweet and sweet spot, it is simply a time bomb tied to the waist, maybe it will explode in a second.
"General, don't hesitate, withdraw." One staff officer after another advised: "If it is too late, I am afraid that the entire fleet will be affected, and then ...... At that time......"
Needless to say, everyone understands.
"Pass my order, the Tiger Shark Wing will return immediately, and the other wings will turn around and enter the retreat sequence." After saying a word, Austin seemed to have emptied all the strength of his body and collapsed on the seat.
As for the others, it was a long sigh of relief.
The same scene was seen in the bridge command room of the aircraft carrier "Divine Revelation" of the Saint Violet fleet.
