XXVII. The First Contest Between Science and Magic
A burning pain suddenly reached the dizzy mind of the vampire boy Yuta Akaishi, and he was awakened by the pain.
ββ¦β¦ Yes...... Vomit! Ahem, ahem, ahem! β
As soon as he tried to open his mouth to summon his subordinates, Yuta Akaishi felt the hoarseness and pain in his throat as if he had been pricked by a needle, causing him to let out a grief involuntarily, and at the same time he felt a fishy liquid gushing out of his throat and into his mouth.
Then, an uncontrollable cough, as if a rough saw blade was tearing at his internal organs, made him fully appreciate what it means to be in pain.
ββIt hurts...... Am I dying?
Damn it! My revenge hasn't worked out yet, how can I just die here like this?
By the way, where is this place?
Also, what just happened?
The vampire boy who returned from the other world resisted the pain with a trace of his sense, allowing his consciousness to constantly wander between several contents...... Then, although his consciousness was still groggy, he finally summoned a little strength and barely opened his blood-red eyes.
ββThere seemed to be several tons of weight on his eyelids, and he had to use all his strength to open them.
Then he found himself half of his vision occupied by fire and smoke, a gray cloud of dust, and a mess of rebar, planks, and concrete. The air was filled with the scorching heat of flames and the pungent smell of burning.
ββ¦β¦ Ahem...... Woo...... Come to think of it. It's a missile! And the explosion! β
Choking in the midst of the smoke. The vampire boy couldn't help but cough again, and as a result, the pain from his body became more intense.
Driven by the severe pain, Yuta Akaishi finally began to observe his condition, and then found that his body was full of glass shards, and it was estimated that the beautiful face had already broken down. His hair was scorched, his right hand was missing a few fingers, and his left hand, although it looked fine, couldn't move even a finger. His right leg was crushed under the collapsing concrete wall, and his left leg was twisted at an uncanny angle, completely unconscious from the chest down. And a swarthy metal rod. It pierced deep into his lungs, causing him extreme pain.
If it were an ordinary person, once it was injured like this, I am afraid that it would only be able to lie in place. Quietly wait for life to pass.
Luckily, the vampire Yuta Akaishi was no longer an ordinary person - he coughed and recited a few awkward incantations, and a dark fog flashed over him, allowing the vampire to quickly regain his silver hair and beauty...... Only the tattered clothes seemed to be irrestorable.
In short, the original hazy consciousness was restored, and the burning pain was gone. But the scorching heat of the flames, the scorching smell of the burning houses, and the noisy noises of all kinds still lingered around him.
β¦β¦ Alas...... What a carelessness......
The vampire avenger, who had returned from the Otherworld, sighed and shook his head. I found myself lacking common sense about modern warfare.
You know, as an ordinary Japanese middle school student living in a peaceful environment, or as an ordinary teenager with a second year of middle school, Yuta Akashi's main hobby in the past life was just watching serialized comics and new anime.
In short, he is not the kind of modern weapon lover known as "military nerd", he has almost never read military magazines, nor has he collected model aircraft of warships and airplanes, and he does not like to play war games such as "Red Alert" and "Call of Duty", so he has great power for all kinds of modern weapons. Yuta Akaishi didn't have a clear understanding of the fact that an officer's pistol and an air gun for a shooter were perhaps the most powerful weapons he had ever seen in his life, in Akaishi's rather meagre concept of military affairs. β¦,
After crossing over to the strange Shijie of swords and sorcery, dragons and knights, the vampire nobleman Yuta Akaishi has experienced many thrilling adventures and has managed to learn to fight in battle - he has fought against the Paladins of Light. Raided the necromancer's castle and stole the lair of the arrogant dragon. He suppressed the rebellion of orc slaves and had a beautiful affair with a vampire female prince......
But the problem is that Yuta Akaishi, as a vampire nobleman, knows how to cast spells to fight, knows how to hide his tracks, knows how to deal with holy light and holy water, and knows how to put on a graceful and graceful posture...... But he never thought about how to deal with the bombardment of missiles!
- Perhaps in some completely unreasonable shijie, vampires can catch missiles with bare hands, magicians can walk in mushroom clouds, immortal cultivators can eat the stars as food, and gods can swallow detonated hydrogen bombs into their stomachs without changing their faces...... But in this shijie, where Yuta Akaishi was born and raised, even if he is an unusually knowledgeable god and demon, as well as all kinds of demonic experts and special people, he must abide by the basic laws of physics.
However, as a rookie who lacks a concept of modern warfare, and a vampire aristocrat who is extremely obsessed with luxury and extravagance, Yuta Akaishi made a big mistake in this revenge operation - he did not set his headquarters inside the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which would be a mouse-throwing weapon, or the newly imported, unpainted Russian atomic power plant. Instead, he went to Futaba Town, about three kilometers from the nuclear power plant, which is the hometown of Yuta Akashi, and chose one of the most luxurious abandoned Western-style villas in the suburbs, and then set up a throne here in a grand way to satisfy his vanity of "returning home...... Although this hometown has long been a ghost town with no people.
If it weren't for the fact that time was too short, and that he couldn't find any luxuries in the long-abandoned radiation zone, he even planned to hang red, gold, and black curtains in the hall of the villa, and set it up as a real vampire mansion.
In fact, as early as this morning, when the Fukushima nuclear power plant was going to be detonated. Yuta Akaishi deeply felt his own lack of scientific and technological knowledge -- in the shallow understanding of this young man with a second year of secondary school. I thought that an atomic reactor was similar to a nuclear warhead, and there would definitely be a red button somewhere on the console, and as long as you enter a string of passwords and press it, you can explode a mushroom cloud with a "BOOOM" ......
But the problem is that the real Fukushima nuclear power plant is completely different from the oversized firecrackers he imagined - the reactor is used to generate electricity, not to play with self-detonating nuclear mines, only the safety device for emergency shutdown, not the legendary self-destruction device. Moreover, the concentration of uranium fuel used in nuclear power plants. It also has a much lower concentration than weapons-grade uranium, and cannot be used to make an atomic bomb without going through a tedious separation and purification process.
So,In a bunch of obscure professional jishu documentsγ There are also complex drawings that I can't understand at all, and after tossing to the point that my eyes are full of gold stars and my head is splitting, Yuta Akaishi, a vampire who only has the knowledge level of an average middle school student in his head, has to ask the "descendants" to blast off the shells of the damaged reactors that were closed at the beginning, and use explosives to blast off the shells again, so that the radioactive materials inside can continue to be released.
As for what to do with the remaining reactors, Yuta Akaishi hadn't thought about it for a while.
What's more, he intends to make a declaration of destruction and revenge to all of Japan before detonating the nuclear power plant, just like the Archdemon in the anime, and then triumphantly order the detonation - the main reason why Tokyo has not yet become a wasteland.
The question is. Before Yuta Akaishi finished thinking about how to play the terrifying role of the Great Demon King of the World, the Self-Defense Force's missiles attacked! β¦,
ββ¦β¦ Kiyota! Yamamoto! Suzuki! Is anyone still there?! Anyone who is still awake squeaks me! β
In the ruins of the villa that had just been bombarded by missiles, Yuta Akaishi carefully dodged the sunlight shining through the dust and cracks in the walls, and kept calling out his "vampire descendants" by name, but in the end he was disappointed to find nothing......
- These newborn vampires, who have only received the "first embrace" for two or three days, are often not as strong as ordinary people, and even the vampires' innate abilities have not yet had time to awaken. In the bombardment of the missiles, almost the entire town of Futaba was razed, and the vampires, if not killed, were left without buildings to block the daylight. And the sun burned into a pile of ashes - it's still daytime!
Zuihou, in the collapsed hall of this villa, Yuta Akaishi finally saw the half-amputated vampire descendant - this guy was really only half of his body, his entire body was severed from his chest and abdomen in the explosion, and several ribs spread out from side to side like wings. The viscera were sprayed in every corner of the hall...... Such a disgusting scene made Yuta Akaishi almost vomit out all his bitter gall when he saw it.
After confirming that the vast majority of his subordinates had been wiped out. Yuta Akaishi sighed, looked at the walkie-talkie that was originally placed on the table, and it had been broken together with the table itself, so he turned around and found out the spare walkie-talkie from a secret place, and contacted the radio jamming car controlled by him, which only interfered with the frequency of the mobile phone, so the short-range walkie-talkie with different frequencies could still be used in the radiation area.
ββ¦β¦ Hiss - Meir! I'm Akaishi! What is the situation inside the nuclear power plant? Was it bombarded by missiles? β
ββ¦β¦ Hiss - report to the master, everything is normal inside the nuclear power plant! All communication lines connecting Tokyo have been cut off. β
ββ¦β¦ Hiss - good, Meir, now it's time to get moving! β
Yuta Akaishi narrowed his eyes and looked at the sun in the distance, which was still bright even though it had set westward, "...... After the missile firing, I am afraid that the ground forces will follow! We must buy time, and as long as we can drag it out until the sun goes down, this land will be home to our Night Dependents...... Immediately turn off the cooling water pump, open the gate to drain the existing cooling water, and perform 'core melting' jihua! β

Prime Minister's Residence, Nagata Town, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan
In the office of the Fukushima Terrorist Attack Response Headquarters, Chief Cabinet Secretary Junzaburo Izumita, who had a hoarse throat, a haggard face, and bloodshot eyes, stared at the giant LCD screen hanging on the wall and finally showed a satisfied smile.
Under his urging, the Ministry of Defense, which has always been accustomed to procrastination and prevarication, finally began to take action in the face of rising nuclear radiation levels. At the time when their own lives and safety are at stake. The efficiency of any bureaucracy becomes unusually rapid...... Of course, they are also moving their families and children to places like Osaka and Kyoto at an even more alarming rate......
Through the giant LCD screen hanging on the wall, Junzaburo Izumida saw the missiles of the Ground Self-Defense Force spewing orange tailfires one by one, launching a thunderous long-range strike against the "unidentified terrorists" entrenched near the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
-- About an hour ago, Prime Minister Maharo Kotori learned through a secret channel that only a Japanese prime minister could grasp that most of the terrorists who attacked the Fukushima nuclear power plant were stupidly staying three kilometers away from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, except for a small number stationed at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. And Futaba Town, an abandoned town where there are neither residents nor sensitive targets! β¦,
In the eyes of the professional bureaucrats of the Ministry of Defense, these fools are simply excellent targets!
-- Even if they don't dare to stay in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant because they are afraid of radiation, they will be able to occupy 10 kilometers to the south. The Fukushima No. 2 nuclear power plant, which has been mothballed and unguarded, is also a more militarily friendly option - although the nuclear fuel there has long been removed and cannot be used to cause nuclear pollution, at least the buildings are much stronger than Futaba's!
Since the Gulf War, modern Shijie military operations are paying more and more attention to precision long-range strikes by missiles, that is, the so-called "non-contact" and "zero-casualty" wars. The more prosperous and wealthy the developed countries, the more they are afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, and the more they want to solve the problem with jishu weapons.
Furthermore. According to the bitter experience of the Russian army in storming Grozny in the two Chechen wars, as well as the poor performance of the US military in the Fallujah street battle in Iraq, if the Fukushima nuclear power plant is occupied by hundreds of terrorists and equipped with a large number of conventional light weapons, the Ground Self-Defense Force's Heisei dead house, which has never fought since World War II, will not be able to take it down even if they fight in the streets.
Therefore, after learning of this information, officials of the Ministry of Defense immediately started thinking about long-range strikes.
However, it is a headache for them that is in the arsenal of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. I couldn't find a suitable ground-attack missile for a while!
It is really quite sad to say that although the Japanese Self-Defense Forces are known to be well-equipped and advanced, due to the restrictions of the pacifist constitution and the suppression by the United States in every way, from the perspective of the composition of weapons and equipment. Japan's Self-Defense Forces are really a "purely defensive army" that can only defend but not attack -- the Self-Defense Forces are seriously lacking in all kinds of long-range offensive weapons in their arsenals. The Ground Self-Defense Forces do not have long-range surface-to-surface ballistic missiles. The Air Self-Defense Forces also do not have air-to-surface missiles, and even only fighters and no bombers...... Anti-aircraft missiles are as many as they want.
However, the warships of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, apart from artillery, do not have the capability of long-range ground attack -- for example, Japan's Kongo-class destroyers, although they are also equipped with the US Aegis system, can only launch anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles, but cannot launch Tomahawk cruise missiles.
Weishenme The weapons and equipment of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces will have such a strange situation?
Because Japan was a defeated country in World War II, according to the armistice treaty and the peace constitution, post-war Japan only had the right to self-defense, not the right to take the initiative to attack. Therefore, in theory, Japan's Self-Defense Forces absolutely cannot possess offensive weapons, such as surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, nuclear submarines, nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, bombers, and so on, and even the range of anti-ship missiles is particularly short -- not that Japan's jishu conditions are insufficient, but that the United States does not allow it!
For many years, Japan has been sleeping soundly in the security environment of the "US-Japan alliance" and has completely entrusted the responsibility of national security to the United States. Although successive generations of Japanese right-wing politicians have always sought to break through the restrictions of the pacifist constitution and have occasionally been able to play a little bit of a marginal game, after all, they have never been able to fundamentally shake off this tight spell -- the United States is indeed supporting Japan, but the United States is also restricting Japan. Many people may have forgotten that the primary task of the US military stationed in Japan is not to help Japan defend its homeland, but to prevent the resurgence of Japanese militarism!
For the Americans, the United States does not need a militarily strong Japan, but an obedient follower who can shear sheep regularly.
In short, judging from the composition of the Japanese Self-Defense Force's current Jishu equipment, it is barely possible to conduct both naval and air battles, and it is even more first-class in anti-submarine operations, which is enough to make this island country surrounded by the sea "defend against the enemy outside the country". However, in terms of ground attack, Japan's Self-Defense Forces are not much more advanced in firepower and weaponry than those of small countries such as Georgia and Libya -- in addition to light weapons, they usually only have artillery, tanks, and helicopters. β¦,
It is not that Junzaburo Izumida is unwilling to lose Japan's face -- since the defeat in the Pacific War, the Japanese have never been able to straighten up in front of the Americans -- the problem is that the US commander at the Yokota base certainly does not have the right to participate in the war on his own, and he still needs to ask Washington for instructions step by step.
Fortunately, Japan's land self-defense also has an S-1 shore-to-ship missile, also known as the Type 88 missile, which is also nicknamed the "Toei Harpoon" because of its similar appearance to the American BGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missile. Although this thing was originally a "defensive weapon" used to attack warships from the shore, with a slight change in the program, it can also hit ground targets, and the accuracy of the impact point can reach within 50 meters - but the normal range of this thing is only 80 kilometers, and if it is placed on Japanese soil, it will basically not be able to hit its neighbors farther apart from South Korea and Sakhalin.
At this time, there were exactly six Type 88 missile launchers and auxiliary vehicles in the Sendai area, less than 60 kilometers from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. As a result, the Tokyo authorities, who were in a hurry to seek medical treatment, issued an order to this missile unit to "launch an anti-terrorist operation."
All in all, the effect of this wave of strikes seems to be quite good, and Futaba Town, which is dominated by wooden houses, has been razed to the ground by a full 36 Type 88 missiles, and the Ground Self-Defense Force will not have to worry about encountering the next Grozny or Fallujah.
However, just as Junzaburo Izumida was high-five at the screen, the panic caused by the nuclear radiation finally spread in Tokyo...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
