Chapter 132: Space Travelers
Front-line command center.
The garrison was fully upgraded, and in the second tidal wave of mechanical spiders, the number of guards increased tenfold in an instant.
Today's lockdown area plus quarantine area occupies almost half of New Greenwich.
"The report shows that the enemy's offensive has stopped, and the offensive sabotage mechanical spiders have all turned into liquid metal, and there is currently a tendency to gather in the central area, and the observation department analyzes that the opponent is 37% likely to shrink its forces and brew the next explosive attack."
The commander stared at the big screen with a serious face and said, "Is there any news from the central laboratory?" β
"The signal suddenly lost five minutes ago, and I have sent the police in the core area to check, and it will take a while!" Adjutant said.
"There's no time to wait!" The commander said in a deep voice: "From the time I took over the front-line battle to now, it has only been less than an hour in total, and the largest combat unit of the opponent has increased from one meter in diameter to twelve meters in diameter, and the caliber of plasma shells is also getting larger and larger, and the attack power has increased geometrically, and it seems that there is no end at all."
If it continues at this rate, in a maximum of 30 minutes, the barrier we built will collapse again. Can't wait any longer, let's launch a hydrogen bomb......"
The commander hesitated for a moment, and said heavily: "Launch them all!" β
"Yes, sir!"
The adjutant did not even blink an eye, and repeated the order loudly: "Commander order, lock on to the hostile target, launch 12 hydrogen bombs in a row!" All the crew are ready to collide! β
"Yes, launch a hydrogen bomb!"
"The warhead is ready, the magazine is opened, the target is locked, ten seconds before ignition, nine, eight...... Two, one, launch! β
"Expected to arrive in 35 seconds!"
The ballistic display in one corner zooms in so quickly that it takes up the entire large screen.
In the command room, everyone stared at the twelve small red dots moving along the parabola.
At this moment, a communicator reported loudly: "Sir, the liquid metal shrinks faster, and the other party seems to sense a powerful attack and is speeding up its retreat." β
On the display, liquid metal, which covers dozens of blocks, is flowing towards the center at a breakneck speed.
It's like a plugged swimming pool that drains water at a fast pace.
The keyboard crackled for a while, and the data watch reported loudly: "Sir, the enemy's evacuation speed continues to increase, and the average thickness of the coverage is calculated, and the enemy will all be evacuated after 55 seconds......"
"That's it!"
The commander interrupted him with a wave of his hand, staring at the screen and said, "It seems that our previous guess was correct, these things are just combat units, and there is a commander behind them!" β
"Sir......
"No need to say any more, let's see how effective the attack is!"
The commander narrowed his eyes and said, "Since the other party has taken the initiative to avoid the posture, it shows that there are serious losses in the face of large-yield explosions, which is a flaw." Tell the staff that in twenty minutes I will see an offensive plan! β
"Yes, sir!" The adjutant replied loudly.
There was a huge roar in the sky, and 12 warheads lined up in a perfect arc.
The silvery metal coverage on the ground dwindled rapidly, until less than half a block remained, when 12 warheads were dropped together.
Rumble!
Rumble Rumbleββ!
Heaven and earth instantly lost their voices, and when they withdrew from the front-line troops within the safety range, they only felt a strong storm blowing on the ground, and the huge force seemed to sweep everyone into the sky.
In the distance, there was a shocking red light and sound waves that were almost crushed into white walls, followed by the incomparably mushroom cloud.
Everyone looked in that direction, some of them were intoxicated, some were slightly sad, some were excited, and some were unusually calm.
No matter what mood they show, they knew in their hearts that New Greenwich, the capital of New Britain, was finished!
---
In space without a trace, the Avalon space immigration spacecraft, which flew from Earth to the fourth planet of the Buck Earth system, is flying silently.
The hull is several kilometers long and culminates in a cutting-edge electromagnetic shield that forms a perfect bullet shape.
Combined with the powerful propulsion flame behind him, with strong penetration, the speed of the spaceship can be maintained at 50% of the speed of light.
As a matter of common sense, the perfect design will not cause any surprises on this voyage.
However, this is space after all, and the movement of celestial bodies is ever-changing, and it will not be limited by human imagination.
A migrated meteorite belt intercepted the spacecraft on its way.
The ship's mastermind predicted, added all the energy to the shield, and then the impact began like a meteor shower.
A large number of meteorites were shattered by the impact, and the strong vibration broke through the limit of the spacecraft's seismic resistance and was transmitted to the rear cabin of the ship, causing a large number of red alarms.
The main brain automatically deploys and processes, using the plan to eliminate a large number of alarms and try to repair the function, but a meteorite smashed in from a tricky angle triggers an irreparable briefing.
Meanwhile, in the cabin department, a man was awakened from a long hibernation and was in a state of vertigo.
"Good morning James, how are you feeling?"
It was a virtual imaging flight attendant who spoke, and the standard procedural greeting was somewhat familiar to the dazed Jim.
"Who are you?"
"Confusion is normal, 120 years of dormancy, why is your body in a state of severe stagnation and it takes a while to recover."
"Where am I?" Jim's breathing was a little rapid, and every time he gasped, he felt like his lungs ached, like a newborn.
"You're now on a Homestead first-class starship, and after 120 years of flying, and your journey is nearing its end, we're running a wake-up program four months before we arrive, and in addition to giving you time to recuperate, learn professional skills, and make friends, it's also a four-month luxury spaceship trip.
Before arriving in a new world and having a new beginning, you can indulge in food, music, or anything else that you can find on the Avalon spaceship. β
At this time, the scanning next to it is completed, showing Jim's physical state and structure diagram, and various small data are marked out on the side.
"The data shows that your body is completely healthy, and it is recommended that you find your room and take a little rest, which will be beneficial in recovering your slight vertigo state."
Then, without waiting for Jim to answer, the hovering bracket at a 45-degree angle behind him slowly rose to a vertical state, Jim's center of gravity was unbalanced, and he took two steps out.
The avatar quickly vanished, the carriage returned to the hibernation chamber, and fluorescent indicators appeared on the ground, flowing and flickering.
Jim rubbed his temples vigorously, his head was still buzzing, and he had just taken two staggering steps, when he suddenly felt that the carotid artery was on the side, and he subconsciously grabbed a handful, and actually brought down a small needle.
Jim's head was full of question marks, "What ......"
Before he finished speaking, his body fell back softly, revealing Qi Shan, who was wearing the Green Goblin armor behind him, with a little helplessness at the corner of his mouth.
