Chapter 70: The Helicarrier Project

While Qiao Lu and the others were fighting desperately on the planet Cybertron, the Wandering Earth was not idle at all.

A large number of missile silos that had been abandoned in the past were reactivated after intensive emergency repairs, and the three major nuclear missiles of Dongfeng, Topol, and Militia gathered together, ready to send enthusiastic expedited deliveries to the Decepticons on Cybertron.

At the same time, a heavily armed space force has gathered at rocket launch bases around the world, ready to land on Cybertron for operations.

It all stemmed from a crazy plan proposed by Li Yiyi.

That is, the planetary engine is directly used to hover the wandering earth above the orbit of about 70,000 kilometers on the planet Cybertron, and at the same time the nuclear bomb is launched for ground bombing, the troops on the earth are directly dropped on Cybertron by using the drop capsule to provide maximum support for Cybertron's ground forces.

This is no longer as simple as using the Wandering Earth as a missile launch pad, but directly treating the Earth as a space carrier, a super warship with a diameter of 12,742 kilometers and a weight of 60 trillion tons!

Naturally, this idea was met with so much skepticism that no one dared to agree to it at first.

"The distance of 70,000 kilometers is too far, and the range of ICBMs is completely insufficient!"

"Cybertron is a giant metal planet, isn't it possible to get so close to the Loch limit again?"

"It takes a lot of thrust for the wandering Earth to hover above Cybertron, can the power of the planetary engine reach that much?"

There are so many questions that it is almost impossible for this plan to continue, and Li Yiyi, who is not good at explaining his plan, cannot convince the representatives of the coalition government to implement this plan.

At this time, Qiao Lu is not on the Wandering Earth, and this plan to use the entire Wandering Earth as a spaceship to support Cybertron is about to be abandoned.

But at this time, another physicist stepped forward, and his name was Ding Yi.

He is one of the best physicists on Earth, a two-time Nobel Prize winner in physics, a researcher in the Ball Lightning Weapons Program, the construction of the world's most advanced high-energy particle collider, and a major contributor to the heavy nuclear fusion reaction technology used in planetary engines.

At this critical juncture, he stood up and refuted all doubts about this plan for Li Yiyi one by one.

"First of all, there is the problem of insufficient missile range, I admit that 70,000 kilometers is indeed beyond the range of all missile weapons on Earth, but we must realize that this distance is not on Earth, but in the universe."

"The reason why the range of intercontinental missiles on Earth is only a few thousand kilometers is because there is air friction that has been depleting the kinetic energy of the missile. But in a vacuum, this attrition is gone, and the missile can glide over tens of thousands of kilometers without any propulsion. ”

"So we just need to modify the program of the missile engine so that it stops propulsion after breaking away from the Earth's gravity, and keeps gliding in space until it enters the Cybertron atmosphere and then re-accelerates, and 70,000 kilometers is indeed within the range of our missile."

By analogy, the same is true for dropping troops on Cybertron on Earth, as long as the drop capsule can accelerate away from Earth's gravity at the beginning and decelerate into Cybertron's atmosphere at the end, the space landing operation can be realized.

The distance of a live-fire weapon in space cannot be compared with that on the ground.

But there were still delegates who questioned: "What about the gravitational pull of Cybertron?" Won't it suck us in like Jupiter did last time? ”

Ding Yi continued to reply: "A simple fact, Cybertron is not a completely solid planet, and the interior of this planet has long been riddled with holes. Plus it's not as big as Jupiter, and 70,000 kilometers is definitely not within the range of the Loch limit. ”

"Moreover, each of our planetary engines today has a certain reserve of superconducting ore, a fuel that provides enough thrust for our planet to reach the speed of light in a short period of time. So IMHO, unless we fall directly into a black hole, there is no planetary gravity that we can't get rid of. ”

Let the wandering earth hover stably in the orbit of the planet Cybertron, naturally, it is not a problem.

In the follow-up, some people kept asking questions, but they were all answered by Ding Yi one by one.

Li Yiyi was honored to hug his thighs this time, and finally had someone who could speak for him.

With the help of Ding Yi, the plan to use the Wandering Earth as a space carrier to directly support Cybertron was finally approved, and only then did the spectacular scene of the missile silos on Earth almost fully activated.

A Space Marine Corps preparing to land on Cybertron was also quickly formed, ready to quickly land on Cybertron to support the ground battlefield with ground bombardment.

The manned rocket they were on was actually a drop pod with two layers of thrusters, one to break away from gravity and into space, and the other to slow down and land on Cybertron.

Such a simple and crude method has led to higher delivery efficiency, using the existing manned space rocket to modify, and the Wandering Earth will soon have 3,000 drop pods ready to support the Cybertron battlefield.

This means that the Wandering Earth can parachute at least 10,000 soldiers to the designated location in a short period of time, and drop them directly on the enemy's head in the form of dumplings.

There's no cooler way to make an appearance.

According to Luo Feng's words, it is: "I have never fought such a luxurious battle in my life." ”

The war resources prepared by all human beings, coupled with the direct use of the entire Wandering Earth as a mothership, are of course an unprecedented luxury experience for any commander on the planet.

If it weren't for the limited time, this battle could have been more extravagant, but in fact, it was not necessary.

The Wandering Earth flew around Cybertron as it approached its intended position, which was naturally directly above the Cybertron Tec Temple.

In order to ensure that it could hover in that position accurately, the Wandering Earth aimed all 10,000 planetary engines at Cybertron's ground, and then started the steering engine on one side at full power to slow down.

The entire planet will move more and more slowly, eventually hovering completely above the Cybertron Tech Temple.

Then there was a barrage of bombardment and a divine soldier descending from the sky.

Let's see who else can withstand this?

In the earth cab, Luo Feng was paying attention to the holographic projection of the relative position of the Wandering Earth and Cybertron, and at the same time communicated to Qiao Lu on Cybertron:

"There are three hours left until you arrive at the intended bombing position, and you can prepare for the sortie."

And Qiao Lu, who received his communication, was already on his way to the Temple of Science and Technology at this time.

Qiao Lu said half-jokingly: "Got it, I'm responsible for attracting the enemy over, and then you're responsible for setting off fireworks for me?" ”

Luo Feng nodded and smiled: "Yes, it will be a big, big fireworks, and I will throw some people down to watch it with you." ”

"Haha, that couldn't be better."

Jolu cut off the communication, and standing in front of him were the last few thousand Autobots on Cybertron, as well as the regrouped Wandering Earth Pioneer Company.

He stood on Optimus Prime's shoulders and shouted to everyone:

"Onward! Start the general offensive! ”
