Text Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 92 The Rise of the Continent
Rise??! Wu Yun's brows furrowed, he walked quickly from the control room to the deck, stood on the bridge and looked into the distance with a telescope, at this time the entire continent had surfaced, and from a distance, it looked like a huge island had appeared in front of him, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance.
This looks much grander than the appearance of Atlantis back then, the whole looks like a huge ancient palace complex, Wu Yun still remembers some articles about the magnificent palace-like architecture of ancient times that he learned when he was a child.
In the description of Afang Palace, "covering more than 300 miles", these just six words vividly reflect the huge magnificence of this ancient palace.
And these words are not enough to describe his enormity when placed on the continent that emerges now, such buildings, even if they are in ruins, are one after another, stretching endlessly, and the scale formed has far exceeded the scale of any building complex he had previously known.
Eastern Theater of Operations, front-line naval base of Fuzhou Military Region.
Liu Zhentao had already arrived here at this time, and it had been about fifteen minutes since the mainland surfaced.
He didn't even greet the people who were there to greet him, and directly waved his hand into the central control room in the naval base.
"How's it going?"
Liu Zhentao only got off the plane for less than three minutes, and he already seemed very anxious, because the mainland's previous rise was too fast, and it was very likely that there would be some changes from the original situation in three minutes.
"The continent is still on the rise, but after it surfaced, the rate of rise has slowed down considerably, and it is now climbing at a rate of about 30 centimeters per second."
The stereoscopic image is presented on the combat observation platform, and above the projection, it can be clearly seen that this whole continent, which resembles a huge island, has completely detached itself from the sea surface, is floating in the air, and is slowly climbing upwards at a speed that is almost invisible to the naked eye, after all, it is a continent with an area of as much as 150,000 square kilometers, so it is difficult to show it vividly enough in this detection system at a speed of 30 centimeters per second.
"What is this thing up for? Where is the motivation, is it possible that it rises up without relying on anything?? An officer next to the combat observatory couldn't help but say.
Liu Zhentao is also silent, if it is true that it is directly out of gravity without relying on anything, and it is a mainland with such a large area and weight equal to five Taiwan islands, such a bizarre thing will probably crawl out of the coffin.
"It's possible that it's through the action of a magnetic field." A nearby researcher said that she had simply made a guess, but her tone was not very sure, after all, even the origin of the continent was not very clear, let alone some more detailed information.
"Vice chairman, warships from other countries have sent messages and newsletters, saying that they are about to prepare for evacuation, you see、、、、、、"
Liu Zhentao lowered his head and thought about it. "Then let's withdraw too, after all, there is no way to get more things if you continue to stay there, and the task of the fleet has basically been completed."
"I remember, they ran out of ammunition." Liu Zhentao said again.
The officer next to him was a little stunned, but then immediately reacted. "Yes, before, when the continent was not so deep from the sea level, a tentative attack on the mainland was carried out according to the original plan, but to no avail."
"Did you hit it all?"
"Yes, the target range is very large, it is also very convenient to lock on, and in the worst case, basically every warship has more or less hits."
"Well," Liu Zhentao nodded, "the question is, if they all hit, then where did all these shells go?" At that time, the information fed back by various warships said that they had not received any results showing that it was reasonable to say that such a large number of shells exploded on the bottom of the sea, and it would be correct to say that there would be a reaction, but it seemed that the sea was still calm under the seabed, and there was no wave. ”
"Could it be, it hit those buildings up there?" The researcher pointed to the stereoscopic projection of some ruins on the continent that had almost turned into palaces.
"Not necessarily, maybe these ruins have been left on the continent before, and it may not be caused by our stuff, mainly because the shells hit the target without any reaction, which is the strangest place." Another officer immediately objected.
"Then it's better to send a force directly to the top to see the situation, so that you can also bring back some samples for analysis, maybe you can also get some valuable information, while the mainland is not very high from the sea now, in case his rising speed can't stop, if it really rises to an extremely high height, then if you want to send people up again, I'm afraid it will be difficult." A staff officer beside Liu Zhentao said.
Liu Zhentao immediately turned around. "Send a troop."
He turned back to look around at everyone present. "What do you think?"
This is indeed a good method, and it is also the most concise and convenient means to know the situation on the mainland, after all, no matter how precise the instrument detection is, it is definitely not as good as actually obtaining it from above
Some of the samples came from the truth, and the sudden appearance of this continent was really unexpected by everyone, and he seemed to be full of mystery, especially when he was likely to be inextricably linked to the infected.
But there is also a risk, the attack of the weapon hit the continent without any response, so many artillery bombs, as if evaporated, when hitting that continent, they lost their traces, then in the case of unknown circumstances, it is difficult to guarantee that the group of vanguard troops sent out will not have any problems on that continent, once there is a problem, then there is no possibility of rescue here, so this mission is extremely risky.
"Volunteer, ask the soldiers' opinions, you make the specific situation of this mission and the explanation of the reasons, the plan should be clear, and then publish these things to the soldiers, recruit those who volunteer to go up to investigate, and don't send special troops up." Liu Zhentao said.
Xuya, the military base of the Damascus garrison, where all the leaders of the coalition forces in Xuya have gathered, and a detailed explanation of the situation in the western Pacific waters has been received here.
"Can you be sure it's from an infected person?" Polezhnev's hand tapped lightly on the table, and he first asked the question.
"At least the information fed back from the East China Sea Fleet can only be guessed at the moment, and it is not completely certain that it is related to the infected." Zuo Lingfeng shook his head.
"This time the North Sea Fleet is still on a mission in the Arctic Ocean, and the fleet belonging to the Siberian Military District was in a state of full maintenance due to the previous overload transportation, otherwise we can go there this time to assist in the investigation." Polezhnev looked helpless.
Zuo Lingfeng smiled generously. "This is not a big deal, after all, the sea area over there is still relatively close to us, and if there is any situation, it is more troublesome for your country to deal with it, and it is not a big deal."
"The main thing is that the recent movements of the infected people seem to be somewhat unknown, and since their large-scale retreat from Xu Ya, their whereabouts have basically not been heard of or investigated." Bert was concerned about the situation.
This is indeed a problem that all countries have been paying attention to recently, since the "Black Mist" organization retreated from Xuya on all fronts, not only has there been no trace of infected people in Xuya, but most of the world's original areas that are seriously threatened by infected people have not seen any traces of infected people.
Such a huge group of organizations, just like this, suddenly disappeared from everyone's field of vision, although the wind and waves have been quiet for so many days, but all governments can keenly smell the abnormal and premeditated nature of the infected person's actions this time, although the premeditated thing seems extremely hidden.
"It's hard to say, it's strange that no infected person has been found until now, and all the governments of the countries we can contact have no more infected people in all the allies, which is very abnormal, and this feeling of being in the dark is really unpleasant." It was French President Renaud, one of the member states of the European Union, who spoke.
This is very illustrative, the infected cannot disappear out of thin air, and there must be their own deep considerations to avoid the eyes of human governments in this way, and the connection between these two things cannot but be linked to the continent that is now appearing on the level of the Mariana Trench.
It is not yet known when the mainland will stop, at least such a behemoth, if it belongs to the chassis of the infected and occupies a certain commanding height, then it will be extremely unfavorable for the subsequent human crusade against the infected.
If all the infected people gather on that continent, and the continent happens to be over a sea area, then all the crusades of the human government in the future must be based on that sea area, and they will lose their advantage on the ground, on the contrary, it will become an away battle, then the disadvantage will be extremely obvious.
This is a question that all countries must take into account now.
