Chapter 80: Ion Beams
A few minutes ago, Edward Wordsworth, chief of staff of the Coalition Cosmodromes, issued a public statement, saying that this was an attack that the Alliance had planned for several months, and that it had been a powerful blow with the cooperation of Italian partisans...... According to official sources, tomorrow there will be a press conference about this military operation......"

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the battle at the Novara base lasted until the last moment before the satellite cannon fell.
Grimm Sr. lay on the cold floor of the Novara's base, reaching out and removing his own cracked mask, a piece of glass piercing his eye when the TF shot him to shatter it, and it was still in his socket.
But he wasn't going to deal with it anymore, the veteran who had tore off his mask took a hard breath, spat out a mouthful of blood, and supported his body with his right hand, which was still moving, so that he could lean against the wall behind him, and he could see the figure walking in the aisle with a little clarity.
It was an ACA TF, and himself, probably the entire base, was the last living soldier of the Italian Free Army.
The power of TF is really overwhelming, and Old Green let out a breath with difficulty, trying to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the TF in front of him, which is probably the stupidest thing he has done in his life.
The other party just cut off his left hand with an understatement, and then punched his lower abdomen, and the armor plate that was enough to resist the rifle bullet pierced directly into Green's abdominal cavity, and the huge force directly knocked him out dozens of meters, and when it hit, his lungs must have been wrong.
The spine was probably broken, and Old Green, who could no longer feel his legs, propped himself up with his right hand again, allowing himself to sit reluctantly against the wall, looking at the TF who was slowly walking over.
"Boy, you're strong—ahem...... Ahem...... Old Green coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood violently, "Damn, you can't be handsome before you die......"
Old Green, who smiled bitterly, put his hand into his arms, and the TF who came over on the opposite side slowed down because of this action, and it could be seen that he was also a very cautious person.
"Look at you...... Scared. Old Green sneered, and took out a blood-stained cigarette from his clothes—it was bought by him and Ling Yu when they went to Milan, and only one pack was bought, and only the last one remained.
"It's hard to imagine...... If all these hairy boys are left on the battlefield......" Old Green took out his lighter, and then lifted the lid tremblingly.
"We veterans, how can we lose......
Old Green gently turned the grinding wheel, and a metal wire connected to the grinding wheel was torn off, and in an instant, a violent explosion was heard behind ACATF, and the entire passage, the path leading to the lower main engine room, began to collapse rapidly.
"Hmph-" Old Green looked coldly at the distorted face of TF in front of him, then snorted coldly, and slowly lit the cigarette on his mouth in the explosion that was approaching him, and took a greedy puff.
Then, the collapsed smoke and dust buried a qiē.
And in the sky above this land, the fusiform attack satellite, has opened its own panels.

Keep fighting, or let the two go? The seriously injured silver-haired girl looked at the knight girl in front of her, her silver teeth clenched.
She breathed hard, the mechanical cat-ear antenna above her head, blackened by the explosion, turned slightly, and three more drones emerged from the hole and joined the battlefield.
According to the comparison of strength, although he is not the opponent of Jeunsi who is not seriously injured, but in the same way, Jeunsi must also take into account Ling Yu's current situation, whether he wants to escape with all his strength or fight to the death, Ling Yu is a huge burden, as long as he makes good use of the seriously injured Ling Yu, he can't find a way to kill the chief knight in front of him.
As for the two rats that fell into the sewer, it was enough to detonate the hundreds of tons of high explosives buried in the basement later.
Just as she was about to make a move, suddenly, Ren Xiu's voice came from her headphones.
"Sir, a satellite strike signal has been detected, and your coordinates will be hit within five minutes!"
Plan Four? Helis was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand, and the drone magazines in the field were all opened in an instant, and the missiles sprayed out, but it was not the location of Jiesi and Ling Yu, but several structural weaknesses in the factory that had been detected for a long time.
Jess reacted a beat slower, and could only crush Ling Yu under her in the collapsed reinforced concrete, Helis stood in place, closed her eyes and determined from the picture transmitted back by the reconnaissance drone that the entire factory had been completely buried, and after not having any weak points to escape in a short time, with a flick of her hand, a rotary-wing drone stretched out its mechanical arm and pulled her body, and behind her, two drones of the same model were carrying Louise, who was already dying, and Adam, who was almost broken by Jeunse, all the bones in her body.
The rotary-wing drone quickly climbed to a height of 100 meters, and then connected with three larger jet drones, the drone's miniature vector engine made them hover at an altitude of 100 meters, and after completing the connection, it flew into the distance with three TFs.
And Helis still hasn't forgotten the surveillance drones that have been set up, and these surveillance devices, ranging from computers to flies, faithfully send information from all angles of the entire plant back to Helis's brain, and they will work until the last moment when the ion cannon falls.
The three drones flew at full speed for more than two minutes at a safe manned speed and arrived at the assembly area four kilometers away, throwing the two seriously injured subordinates to the medical soldiers next to them.
Have all personnel been evacuated? Accompanied by Helis's gaze, the words that suddenly appeared after the garbled characters on the electronic board in Ren Xiu's hand.
"All the personnel have been evacuated, the satellite base in Novara has been recaptured, and the control computer is being reconnected," Ren Xiu saluted and replied, "Most of the units have done a good job of evacuation, and the ion cannon type used by the other side will not do much damage to the personnel in the shelter department, but because of the random movement of the Milan city defense army, a large number of military personnel are trapped on the road and are in a dilemma, which may cause huge casualties." ”
How did Andorra Jericho do it?
"Sir." Ren Xiu frowned, looked around, and then leaned down and spoke softly in Helis's ear, "General Jericho's private plane took off and flew directly over the Alps not long after it was attacked at the Novara base, and it is said that the alliance did not intercept it. ”
"And ......" Ren Xiu gritted his teeth, tangled for a moment, and said another bad news, "According to Plan Four, we were supposed to activate the explosives right now to kill the two rats trapped underground, but the detonator did not respond. ”
"Sir, the satellite has arrived at the attack position, please evacuate immediately!"
Before Helis could say anything, an ACA officer ran forward to warn her, and Helis looked up to find that there were no more people in the square in front of the entire bunker.
Helis lowered her head, gritted her teeth, stomped her foot hard, and then walked straight to the door of the bunker.
Ren Xiu watched the girl's slightly trembling body walk into the cover, and at the last moment before following her footsteps, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
****
Three minutes before the attack, under the rubble of the factory.
"Damn! That dead girl cut off all communications, and I can't contact Han Fei to cancel the attack! ”
Jeunsy smashed her fist on the concrete of the collapsed bunker, the explosion and burial were obviously calculated, and Jess initially estimated that the thickness of the pile of wreckage in front of her was at least ten meters or more.
"How, does it work?"
Jiesi turned around and lay down beside Ling Yu, but without Ling Yu answering, the facts gave her the answer - the big hole in Ling Yu's left abdomen was only barely stopping the bleeding, and the broken right half of her body was still oozing blood even if it didn't stop bleeding, and the broken right leg showed no signs of recovery.
"I said it earlier...... There's definitely no way to use this kind of thing continuously. But fortunately, Ling Yu's pale face just now had some blood, and the young man glanced at the silver syringe that had fallen to the ground - the three nano injections found from the sixth bridge at that time, he and Jiesi were each holding one, and now this one is Jiesi's.
Jiesi stubbornly wanted to use this injection of her own on Ling Yu's body, just like when Ling Yu asked her to bring this injection as well, although the effect was far less obvious than the first one, but at least it was the last breath of Ling Yu.
"What should I do, the orbital attack is about to be smashed down, we will definitely not be able to withstand the attack here!" Obviously, neither Ling Yu nor Jiesi knew at this time that the infighting of the Free Army had changed the strike method from a predetermined mass delivery to an ion cannon attack - if the mass delivery was still nine deaths for the two now, then the ion cannon was definitely ten deaths.
"I have good news and bad news, you want to hear that?" Ling Yu was not as anxious as Jiesi, he coughed up a mouthful of bloody phlegm, but he only smiled lightly.
"Bad news, you know mine." Although Jiesi looked a little impatient, she still looked at Ling Yu patiently.
"The bad news is that it's likely that the ion cannon will fall on our heads," Ling Yu closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Otherwise, there is no reason for Helis to leave in such a hurry, the mass projection attack is mainly focused on the depth, and the range and the ion cannon cannot be the same." ”
“…… They attacked Milan?! ”
"It's hard to say...... Let's wait for us to get out......" Ling Yu shook his head with some difficulty, but immediately smiled again, "The good news is this. ”
The young man raised his left hand, and the original black lines turned blue after the first injection of the potion.
***
Just as Helis entered the bunker and Ling Yu teleported to escape, a dark cloud suddenly appeared above the location of the "rocket base", a large number of charged particles gathered in the air, and the water vapor spiraled towards a non-existent zài in the air at the center point and gathered together, forming a huge storm cloud in a few seconds, but before the first raindrop fell into the atmosphere, six pillars of light with a diameter of more than ten centimeters pierced the sky and hit the earth.
The six beams of ion light instantly turned the air above the entire target area into a sea of electrons, lightning flashed densely, and the six beams of light rotated and contracted towards the center point of the coordinates, easily cutting a qiē object in its path into pieces.
When the six tiny ion light pillars merged at the center point of the coordinates, 30,000 kilometers above the sky, in geosynchronous orbit, the computer on the ion cannon satellite instantly issued the final attack order, and a huge ion beam with a diameter of more than 20 meters shot out from the bottom tip of the cone-shaped attack satellite, and was deflected due to the influence of the magnetic field -- however, these deflections had long been expected by the supercomputer, and after the deflection, this ion beam representing divine punishment pierced the atmosphere that had long been electronized with high concentrations. Crash on the ground.
At the moment of impact, a huge electromagnetic pulse was released, and the invisible pulse swept over an area of tens of kilometers like a wave, burning all the unprotected electronic equipment, and then the huge light radiation painted the entire sky into a miserable white symbolizing death, and then, the shock wave swept across the vast area, and any man-made object on the surface fell apart like a swimming fish tumbling in a huge wave.
The attack lasted only three seconds, but it was as long as three centuries, and only a large crater more than ten meters deep remained in the original location of the rocket base.
