Chapter 56: Upheaval

C-130 is still burning on the ground.

Chekov organized everyone to count the number of people. Fortunately, although almost all the crew members were unfortunately killed in this crash, the contractor did not have any manpower loss. The contractors bandaged it briefly, got into the car sent by ARC, and headed straight for ARC headquarters.

In the car, everyone was silent.

The Demon Rider suddenly said, "That [Time and Space Node] is extremely weird. I dare say, if it hadn't been done by aliens, especially the bitch-raised blonde woman, I'd have eaten the car tires. ”

Both the sorceress and Wang Han nodded. The location where this [space-time node] appears is extremely obscene. It shouldn't be so coincidental. As soon as the Hercules of the contractors arrived, they opened it directly, which was most likely due to human factors.

As it happens, the aliens have already demonstrated their skillful skills in controlling the opening of the [Space-Time Node] on the central street of Los Angeles.

The Demon Knight continued, "Since this is the case, it means that the enemy is not far from us. I have also collected some information about the [Time and Space Node], the opening conditions are very harsh, the cost is very high, the distance available for remote control is very close, and they are not far from us now! ”

Kirk smiled secretly, this magic horse has indeed put a lot of effort into the [Time and Space Node], and even the S-level prop [Time and Space Disruptor] has been used, and it is also a strong man, but it is a pity that it was used by himself.

The vehicle sped all the way to the ARC headquarters in London.

Entering ARC, the contractors were amazed!

It was as if a fierce battle had just taken place, with bullet holes and debris all over the walls, and documents and materials scattered all over the ground. Many computer screens fell to the ground and flashed electric sparks, and the entire office was in shambles.

Lester and Claudia appeared in front of them. Lester was bandaged, and his originally cynical face was covered in blood. Claudia's face was haggard and thin, and it was evident that busyness and exhaustion had tormented the image-conscious beauty enough.

"What the hell is going on?" Carter asked, "We just got the hell out of Los Angeles when we got your damn alarm." ”

"To be honest, we still don't know what happened to Lu Dao?" Lester rubbed his eye sockets wearily with his intact right hand, and his left hand was tied.

Carter turned his gaze to Claudia. The blonde woman smiled wryly and said, "Within 3 hours of you leaving London, 2 people broke into the ARC headquarters. ”

"Two people?" Everyone looked at each other.

"Yes. Only 2 people! A green-skinned child. Look at the age should be between 11-13 years old. The other resembles his mother, a lame middle-aged woman. They snuck in through the back door and did a thorough cleaning of ARC's headquarters! To know the way, throughout the British Isles. We are second only to Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street! Let's be honest. If they don't come around, rummag through the cabinets. I really didn't know that my Manchester United season package was stolen by Wally's son of a bitch. Luckily, I found it on the ground. Please continue. Lester complained with a grim face.

"They all look normal, a lame middle-aged woman, and a child with green skin. But very agile. A squadron of SAS deployed in the ARC was wiped out in the attack. Many people died from the venom spitting of green-skinned children, whose skin festered, blood vessels burst, and bled to death. Medical experts are helpless, saying that the venom is not any natural or synthetic toxin on modern Earth at all, but rather an evolutionary variant of the original toxin from the Jurassic era. Claudia said slowly.

"So what's missing?" Carter stared at Lester.

Lester's face was not very natural, but the current situation did not allow him not to tell the truth: "You know that all this is for the interests of the country. In fact, before the earliest [space-time node] appeared, the United Kingdom set up a special institution to study space-time wormholes, led by the world-renowned Professor Hawking.

Later, the [Time and Space Node] appeared mysteriously and was placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior. Claudia and I were both transferred from the Ministry of the Interior to set up the Centre for Outliers (ARC). The name of the ARC has already told you that the duty here is to study anomalous phenomena such as the [Space-Time Node] first, and secondly, to be ordered to deal with these phenomena. We've been ordered to secretly collect dinosaur genes and various experimental data, and the exact purpose of which is beyond my authority to know.

In addition, the British government is also very interested in time travel and travel. We have been engaged in the cracking and research of the [Space-Time Node] technique. Professor Tokart's theory and Kona's thesis are on the verge of success.

The code name of this project is the [New Dawn] plan.

Professor Rick is the organiser of the New Dawn project, and he reports directly to the Home Office to the Prime Minister and Ministers. As far as I know, it seems that the [New Dawn] has a total of 5 components, and the initial assembly procedure has been completed, and it is possible to conduct a formal test. However, this time, it was all the components that were snatched away. ”

"Chief Lester is right. Yes. A middle-aged man who looked shrewd and capable interjected and enthusiastically held out his hand: "I'm Rick, Ph.D. in Species." He now serves as an operations officer to assist Claudia in her work. Welcome, Carter. You're welcome, Kona. We are peers, and I have read all of your masterpieces. I've heard all the stories about your trip to the United States, and you did a very good job. I hope to work well with you. ”

"Rick ???" The contractors were shocked, isn't this the villain boss in the second season, the villain who lurks in the ARC headquarters and plots to launch the "New Dawn" operation? Why is he here?

Rick didn't notice the contractor's anomaly and continued, "Our testing instrument, codenamed [Dawn], has been snatched away, and that instrument can shut down all the [space-time nodes] on Earth, and let all this chaos return to normal!" We're close to making it, we're just one step away, and now it's all over! I highly suspect that the other party's action at this time is to prevent humans from closing the [Time and Space Node], allowing the dinosaurs to resurrect on the earth, and creating an unspeakable catastrophe! You must retrieve the New Dawn as soon as possible. ”

Lester interrupted him impatiently: "In short, our losses are not small. And. The situation is also not good. Carter: What do you think? ”

"What's going on with the ancient invaders now?" Chekov asked angrily.

"Not good, very bad." Lester had a gloomy face and turned on an encrypted TV channel. This encrypted channel is only accessible to senior military and government officials, and is designed to facilitate video conferencing needs on the go or in an extended range.

On the screen, the British Parliament Building, the Palace of Westminster, and the British House of Commons are jointly holding a large hearing to study the general chaos caused by the [Time and Space Node].

Members of the upper and lower houses are lashing out at the military's incompetence, especially in the opposition Labour Party. Spit stars flying. It is now a time for the survival of the country. Regardless of whether it is public or private, they can't help but scold and scold without working hard.

The British Prime Minister attended with all the members of the Cabinet, his expression heavy and his face stiff. There was chaos of such a magnitude during the administration. It is a scandal that has not happened since World War II. If you don't cope well. It will also cause a crisis of national survival.

At this juncture, even Her Majesty the Queen, who has never been involved in actual political affairs, took her husband and the crown prince to sit quietly and listen.

The Minister of Defense was sweating profusely as he gave a briefing. Explain why:

"At the moment, the greatest threat to the British Isles is the Aeolian Pterodactyl. Our Air Force has about 200 advanced fighters, and the Navy has 2 aircraft carrier battle groups, 100 F35s. However, it is gradually losing air supremacy, and only the 100-kilometer no-fly zone over London can ensure the safety of flight and landing. By the time the meeting was five minutes into the meeting, we had already lost half of our advanced fighters. Honestly, I think we're losing the biggest air war since 1945. ”

"My lord, could you please explain what is it that caused such a crushing defeat to the Royal Air Force? Could it be that the hundreds of billions of taxpayers' defense expenditures and the scientific and technological level of mankind in the 21st century will fail miserably under the teeth and claws of a group of prehistoric animals? "The leader of the opposition Labour Party is in hot pursuit.

"I want to put it in a word, our weapons are designed to deal with our own kind, and our enemies are not humans, and that's why we failed. Taking the Air Force as an example, our advanced Sidewinder missiles, against man-made aircraft, can achieve a single-shot hit rate of 80 percent. But against these damn pterosaurs, only a pitiful, incredible 30%. ”

The chief consultant of the national science and technology stood up and added: "The Fengshen pterosaur, which weighs only 160 kilograms, can fly 16,000 kilometers without any supplies, and it does not rely on carrying more heat, but losing less heat in the air!" During flight, this cold-blooded animal can control its body temperature at high air temperatures, minimizing heat loss, like a cold glider. As a result, the missile's heat source guidance is completely out of order. ”

"What about other guidance?" Labour leaders are not giving up.

"If they only have one end, naturally there is no problem, and we can rely on imaging guidance. The missile's computer can lock the direction of attack by entering the shape of the target in advance. However, they are as numerous as bats in caves, and their exact size and movements make it impossible for the computer carried by the missiles to determine the target of attack, and many missiles miss the opportunity to attack and crash into the sea. "The Minister of Defense is very helpless.

"The same problem is not only with air-to-air missiles, but also with surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, submarine-launched missiles, and even space-based missiles, as long as they need to be locked and guided, they are not suitable for this damn hellbird! It is a pity that the cannons on modern fighters are only symbolic, and the spare ammunition is exhausted in a few minutes, or even seconds. An Air Force general stood up to testify.

The Minister of Defense added: "Modern fighters are not suitable for attacking Pterodactyls due to the excessive speed of their flights." The penguin-like clumsy F35 behaves more like a disaster, and their stealth ability is simply useless under the effective vision of the pterosaur over 10,000 meters. I've ordered the Spitfire in the World War II Museum to be pulled out for repairs. Thank God, these old planes have achieved brilliant results in real combat. The cannon above is very effective against Pterodactyl's membranous wing tear damage. We are ready to restart the production line of World War II fighter jets. ”

The congressmen felt deeply powerless, hundreds of billions of dollars of stealth fighters are not comparable to the classic planes of World War II, what kind of world is this?

"We now rely on only AWACS irradiation and inertial guidance, and the hit rate is very poor. UAVs can engage in hand-to-hand combat, but the number of opponents is endless, and our fighters are not enough, and they are constantly oversaturated. I estimate that if this continues, in 48 hours, there will be no more royal warhawks in the skies of London! The Minister of Defense came to a conclusion.

The audience was in an uproar, if the air supremacy was seized by the Aeolian Pterodactyl, then the greatest weapon of human beings against dinosaurs would be invalid.

The Prime Minister coughed: "So what's the situation on the Scottish side?" ”

The Secretary of State for Defence continued: "The situation in Scotland is very bad, and we have to hold on to central cities such as Douglas and Edinburgh. Dinosaurs seem to have a natural hostility towards human cities. Scientists told me that it was due to various signals and temptations such as electromagnetism, food, and wireless that made dinosaurs march in droves to big cities. Scotland has the most dinosaurs, the most giant predators such as Tyrannosaurus rex, and the fall of the whole of Scotland is only a matter of time. ”

The tech advisor added: "The worst thing is not the war situation, but the change of the environment!" ”

The audience was silent, and even a needle could be heard on the ground.

"According to our measurements and satellite observations, ferns in the Scottish Highlands have started to grow rapidly in the last 24 hours. Gymnosperms such as cycads, pines and ginkgo biloba, equiseta and true ferns of ferns, and dense pines, cypresses, ginkgo biloba and arbors and sheep's teeth appear to emerge from the ground overnight to form a lush forest, while herbaceous sheep's teeth and other grasses are scattered all over the low places and cover the ground. In the drier areas, cycads and sheep's teeth grow, forming vast evergreen fields. This landscape and plant change rate exceeds 24 years of normal growth. In terms of atmospheric temperatures, the El Niño phenomenon is intensifying dramatically, with temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius in London today, and it is estimated that tomorrow it will break the 147-year record for London. ”

"The conclusion?" The queen couldn't sit still.

"Your Majesty the Queen, all scientists, including Dr. Hawking, are unanimous in their conclusion, our planet is returning to the Cretaceous period at an alarming rate. The Earth will become more and more suitable for dinosaurs. Flowering plants will be extinct in large numbers, and the mammals that cling to them, including of course humans at the top of the pyramid, will be eliminated by the previous generation of earth overlords, dinosaurs, in the cruel survival and evolution! The science and technology consultant said in a low voice.

The old lady fainted.

Lester turned off the TV screen and turned to look at Carter: "That's the basic situation. What do you think? ”

Carter was silent for a while, and then said categorically, "We must recover the components of the [New Dawn], close the space-time node, and prevent the Earth from returning to the Cretaceous plane!" (To be continued.) )
