Chapter 215: Tsunami Source
As twilight fell, the rescue work came to an end, and Chen Xiao, who had been silent, was invited to rest at the headquarters.
The bodies of all the soldiers were cremated in an open space at the airport.
The list of wounded and killed soldiers was also announced to everyone as soon as possible.
In this tsunami, more than 5,000 soldiers were directly killed, and hundreds of people died due to serious injuries during the treatment process, and 3,000 or 4,000 people were injured.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers were directly damaged, which was an extremely heavy blow to the airport's protection work.
After coming to the headquarters, Chen Xiao also knew that there were also one or two thousand dead and injured in the safety zone, and if it weren't for the fact that the irrigation mouth was far away from the coastline, this number would probably have increased by more than ten times.
In the two places combined, more than 10,000 people were killed and wounded, and thousands of weapons and equipment and cars and planes were destroyed.
A large number of weapons, ammunition and supplies were also swept away by the tsunami, but fortunately these losses did not damage the morale of the troops in the security zone and at the airport.
Otherwise, the ending is already unimaginable.
When Chen Xiao saw Wang Tianfang again, the old man seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant, and he reluctantly cheered up and commanded the entire overall situation.
In the face of such a disaster, no commander can do anything, and as soon as the damage report comes up, he can only pray that the number is not too large.
"Mourning!"
For this old man, Chen Xiao didn't know what to say, only a simple word of comfort.
"Thank you for your help, I thank you for the rescued soldiers." Wang Tianfang said heavily.
Chen Xiao's face was heavy and he didn't say anything, but Lin Qingfeng next to him said, "Commander." You want to cheer up. We can't afford to lose you now. ”
"Don't worry. My old bones aren't that fragile. Wang Tianfang waved his hand at Lin Qingfeng, signaling that he was fine, and then his face turned straight and asked, "Has the cause of the tsunami been investigated?" ”
"There are no concrete results yet, and we have not detected any undersea earthquakes before the tsunami, which has ruled out the possibility of a tsunami from undersea earthquakes. At the same time, we have also ruled out the cause of the tsunami caused by the impact of cosmic objects on the sea area and the anomaly of the submarine seamount. Lin Qingfeng reported very seriously.
"Nature's tsunami, in addition to these three reasons. Could there be any other reason? Chen Xiao frowned, and hurriedly asked, as far as he knew, the cause of the tsunami was nothing more than the three that Lin Qingfeng said, but they were all ruled out, could there be other possibilities.
"The technical department has been 100% sure that there were no natural disasters around us before the tsunami struck, that the seismic zone in the strait was very normal, and that there was no change in the mountain waters. The satellites have not detected any alien stars impacting the area. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Qingfeng said firmly: "None of these three have happened. It is almost certain that the tsunami was not caused by a natural disaster. And we are 100% sure that this tsunami is concentrated on Heron Island, not even the nearby city, so we can also be sure that this is a tsunami against us. ”
"Can technology cause such a tsunami now?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Yes." Lin Qingfeng nodded and said, "If a five-million-ton hydrogen bomb is detonated in the strait, the tsunami will be as powerful as the tsunami in the morning, but we will definitely not do this, and no one has the ability to do it." ”
"In other words, it's not man-made, it's not nature, and that's where the conclusion comes out." Chen Xiao took a deep breath, although Lin Qingfeng did not say the specific reason, he had already used the means of elimination to point out the murderer who caused the tsunami.
"It's hard to believe, but I'm afraid there's only one reason." Lin Qingfeng nodded solemnly and said firmly: "Do you remember that satellite picture?" If there really were such a large individual, it would be more than capable of creating a tsunami of this magnitude. ”
"Isn't it gone?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Who knows? The satellite's infrared equipment can only detect a few meters below the surface of the water, and if it is in the depths of the strait, it is impossible for us to detect it by satellite alone. Lin Qingfeng shook his head and said.
Wang Tianfang, who was listening, ordered with a sinister face: "Pass my order to the base of the Air Defense Force on the shore of Rongcheng, and ask them to send a large anti-submarine aircraft to conduct a dragnet sonar search of the entire strait and comprehensively compare the changes in the earth's magnetic field in the strait."
At the same time, the Navy was notified to repair and activate all the detection equipment installed in the strait as much as possible. I want to see the changes in the detailed submarine magnetic field environment and sonar data, and I can't continue to fight an uncertain war, once I am sure of its location, notify me as soon as possible, and I will immediately apply to use the Nakshatra space-based weapon system to kill it. ”
A strong killing intent emanated from Wang Tianfang's body, and this time, he was really angry.
The Nakshatra Weapon System is the trump card of the army's victory, and he is ready to persuade the decision-makers to use this trump card.
If it was certain that the colossal sea creature was indeed lurking in the deep waters of the strait, he would be determined to avenge the death of his men.
And in the face of such a creature, even if there is no personal emotional factor in it, Wang Tianfang has the responsibility to resolutely eliminate it.
Because of its presence and aggressiveness, it has completely threatened the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the security zone.
At this time, any hesitation is to create trouble for himself in the future, and Wang Tianfang, as a senior military commander, is very aware of the stakes involved.
His order was quickly conveyed, and in the twilight, two large fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft took off with fuel in the airfield of the Air Defense Force on the shore of Rongcheng.
One east and one west, flying at both ends of the strait, sonar buoys were thrown from the cabin of the anti-submarine aircraft and dropped on the sea.
At the same time, in the capital area, the Supreme Command gathered to discuss the issue of Wang Tianfang's application for the use of space-based weapon systems.
Wang Tianfang submitted all the materials he had prepared, including detailed data on the huge sea creatures captured by the satellite and the tsunami.
This is not the first time that the issue of applying for the use of space-based weapons systems has been discussed here, and almost every military region has applied for it.
Because there are powerful mutated creatures everywhere that are extremely troublesome, but this is the first time that it has been so serious.
The Nakshatra space-based weapon system is taken from the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras, because in Huaxia's space-based weapon system, there are four weapon satellite systems, and each weapon satellite system has seven huge tungsten alloy metal rods.
The launch of such a tungsten carbide alloy metal rod not only requires the approval of all members of the Supreme Command, but also requires the astronauts on the main control satellite of the space-based weapon system to personally operate and release it. (To be continued......)
