Chapter 218: Nuclear Bomb Crisis!
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and his heart "chuckled", because Captain Zhao was usually a very calm person, and he didn't use this kind of urgent tone very much.
Something must have happened!
After hanging up the phone, he took three steps and two steps out of the door, and ran in the direction of the captain's room.
Along the way, he saw a lot of hurried council members, and some soldiers with loaded guns were also rushing in that direction, and a series of messy footsteps made the bad feeling in his heart even stronger.
"What happened?" Zhang Yuan couldn't help asking.
"I don't know!"
"It seems like something urgent......
Pushing open the door of the captain's room, there was already a sea of people inside, and there was a commotion, and many people were pointing at the central screen.
When I saw a picture on the screen, all of a sudden, the hairs all over my body stood on end!
Is that...... What the?
A huge cavern has appeared on the ground, about 50 meters in diameter!
The appearance of a cave is nothing, it may be a sinkhole caused by a landslide, or it may be another geological disaster...... But most crucially, it's a full, smooth round shape, not like it's naturally occurring!
The satellite immediately discovered the changes in the surface and presented this image.
Seeing this, Captain Zhao pressed the fast-forward button and directly skipped the middle two-hour process.
A sharp, pencil-like object slowly emerged from the round cavern.
It starts firing, firing!
Huge smoke came out of the chassis, and under the impetus of chemical fuel, it was like a raging dragon, and it soared into the sky like crazy!
Zhang Yuan's head was a little blinded for a while......
What's the situation?
This technique ...... A bit like a multi-stage rocket on Earth, which has been popular for a long time and can even be used to land on the moon. However, since the earthlings had a space elevator, rocket technology has been slowly eliminated, and he has only seen it on some videos.
Wait a minute, isn't this rocket too huge...... The most powerful moon landing rocket in human history is only about 10 meters in diameter, and the diameter of this rocket is 30 meters, and the height has exceeded 100 meters!
The noise of the crowd grew louder and louder, and after the rocket broke out of the atmosphere and rose to a certain height, it split into four warheads. It was these four warheads that began to change speed, steer, and try to completely break free from the gravitational pull of the planet and fly in the direction of the satellite.
Zhao Qingfeng said loudly: "Everyone, this is the image taken by the satellite fifteen minutes ago!" ”
There were many people who didn't even react to what was going on, and only yelled anxiously when reminded of them by others.
Over here...... There is a powerful civilization with technology hidden that launched a rocket at the Earth Age?!
No, not rockets, but 4 missiles.
There is even a high probability that it will be a nuclear bomb!
The other party attacked?!
Zhang Yuan thought sharply in his mind, and his heartbeat quickly accelerated. He had already begun to regret in his heart that he had chosen the landing site of the spaceship in this worst place.
If you change planets and the other party wants to attack, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult.
But now that remorse is completely useless, instead of remorse, it is better to think carefully about how to deal with this matter......
A major event that directly led to the extinction of mankind!
"Quiet, please be quiet!" Captain Zhao slapped the table heavily and shouted, "Don't think about it yet, why did a civilization suddenly appear here!" It only shows that our prior investigation is not in place! ”
"According to calculations, these rockets ...... No, missiles, there is a high probability that they are coming towards our spacecraft, the current speed has exceeded 50km/s, and the gravitational pull of the planet is not too constrained at all. ”
"If you follow this acceleration, the final speed can reach about 80-100km/s! It will hit our ship in about 4000 seconds! ”
A speed of 100 kilometers per second!
Zhang Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, this speed simply shocked his heart, and he may have reached the ultimate limit of a chemical rocket.
Intercept, find a way to intercept!
However, the biggest problem is that there are no interceptor weapons in the Earth Era!
Some rifles, plus some bombs used on construction sites, are already all weapons, there are no weapon-type lasers at all, and there are no electromagnetic cannons!
How to intercept?!
Shoot down a nuclear warhead with a speed of 100 kilometers per second with a rifle?
Zhang Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the moment he learned the truth, his brain was congested, and human beings didn't have the strength to face aliens at all.
Although this alien civilization only launched one rocket, a total of 4 nuclear warheads, it is still not something that the current human strength can deal with.
A physicist patted his head and immediately said, "There are some small lasers in the lab that shoot lasers. The speed of the laser is the speed of light, which is theoretically sufficient, but ......"
"Can you penetrate armor?" Captain Zhao asked.
"Of course...... No, I can't! The physicist was sweating profusely and said loudly: "If the laser is focused on one point for a long time, it may be able to produce high temperatures and melt the armor." But it takes a long time, and it's impossible to do it! It's moving so fast, how could we be right! ”
Even so, a group of people hurried out of the captain's room, preparing various instruments.
The probability of using a laser to intercept is extremely low, but so far, it can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
The second plan is a little more reliable, armed interception with three small shuttles!
These missiles have a speed of 100 km/s, and before they hit the Earth Era, they can theoretically be destroyed by using some weapons, such as rifles, to hit some key parts at a huge relative velocity.
But that's just the theory......
Time was pressing, and after listening to this plan, Major Guo didn't have time to think about the feasibility, so he made a serious salute, and while running, he shouted loudly in the headphones and began to select the best driver.
"I'll go with you!" Zhang Yuan's brows were still furrowed, and he was also running fast on the side.
Guarantee?
There is no way to guarantee this kind of thing, and the shuttle is not a combat spaceship, although it has the ability to drive autopilot, but it is not loaded with weapons at all, can it jump out of the hatch and rely on the rifles and bombs carried by individuals to forcibly intercept it?
This success rate ......
Think about it, in the universe, the use of guns itself has to withstand the reaction force, and when a bullet is fired, the whole person will directly bounce out, and the accuracy is outrageous. Want to hit such a fast missile with a bullet? The odds are no different from winning the lottery...... It's better to use a laser.
Looking at Major Guo's serious face, Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart, and his mind was thinking quickly, he must try to use other methods to increase the chance of hitting these missiles!
Looking at the pilots in front of him, Major Guo explained the task in a short language, and then he said solemnly: "Everyone, the fate of all mankind is already in our hands!" ”
"If our mission fails, our mothership may well suffer a nuclear strike! It may even be an antimatter weapon! ”
"Everybody knows what the consequences are...... The war has begun. ”
When several pilots heard about this mission, their faces turned pale, and some of them even clenched their fists to the ground.
The news was so sudden and terrifying.
Time was pressing, and there was no time to promulgate an overly complicated battle plan, so after a few simple words of encouragement and understanding the specific mission, in less than 10 minutes, the three shuttles carried good tools and set off from the spacecraft.
After completing this series of measures, Zhang Yuan hurriedly returned, and saw Captain Zhao giving orders in the captain's room.
"Take the surface personnel to evacuate urgently, and store the daily necessities to the deep underground first...... We had less than an hour to spare. ”
"Start the ship's nuclear engine and turn the horsepower to the maximum ......"
"Start all the detection equipment and calculate the ballistic position of the nuclear warhead!"
In the sound of chickens and dogs, a large number of industries stopped, and the soldiers rushed to various areas to maintain order, and many people did not even know what was happening, and the engines of the Earth Age had been urgently started.
However, compared with such a huge mass of the spacecraft, its acceleration will not exceed 2/1000 meters per square second, and the acceleration time of 4000 seconds can reach 8 meters per second, which is not as good as the 100-meter sprint speed of an athlete.
As long as these missiles have a little bit of tracking ability, such a little speed is not enough to toss......
A huge nuclear bomb crisis is coming.
