100 secondary bombing
The probe equipment was fully turned on, and electromagnetic waves of various frequencies penetrated the smoke and dust to cover Mars, bringing the scene from the surface back to the spacecraft.
Ou and Xu were stunned to see that although the old alien base site had become a big pit, a new alien base had appeared on the edge of the pit, and various alien buildings with unexpected shapes stood like a forest, and groups of giant buildings were rushing back and forth.
Ou Zhanpeng's eyes were straight, the infrastructure capacity of the alien species is okay, how long has it been since he built such a large base?
From the alien landing to the expeditionary bombing, there was a gap of four months, and the time of the alien species was deliberately slowing down and playing, until the storm completely covered Mars, and then took out all the pressure box bottoms and hid under the smoke and dust to stir up the wind and rain?
Not only that, but subsequent scans showed that new bases had also appeared near the old sites of the other two bases.
Obviously, the expedition's bombing was not as successful as it seemed, and today's alien base must have been rebuilt from the old one.
In addition to the three major bases, the two of them also discovered more than two dozen small bases in various regions of Mars, which are simply blooming everywhere.
Ou Zhanpeng suddenly had a headache.
When the enemies were all gathered in the three major bases, they were unable to destroy all the alien species, and now that they are scattered all over the place, the difficulty of destroying the enemy has increased by at least an order of magnitude.
"Report to the base." Ou Zhanpeng said.
People who are not familiar with the army, seeing this situation, will definitely think that there is nothing to discuss next, and they must immediately launch a bombing.
Those who know the army will know that in a place like the army, it is necessary to ask for and report frequently, and everything that is not understood, uncertain, uncertain, or even something that is clear but not so urgent must first be consulted by the superiors and receive accurate orders before launching an action.
Of course, in case of emergency, you can be flexible and make your own decisions, but you must report the situation as soon as possible.
This point is not only a constraint on combat units, but also conducive to commanders having a comprehensive grasp of the battle situation.
That's it for now, although the alien base is already quite large-scale, the bombing is not an imminent need, so the situation must be reported first.
About half an hour later, the ship received a reply from the base: resolutely destroy the enemy's base, even if it cannot be destroyed, and do its best to slow down the enemy's construction.
Since he received the order, there was nothing to say, Ou Zhanpeng immediately activated the weapon module, entered the target information, and prepared to launch the missile.
However, the accident occurred at this time, the launch signal had been sent, but the weapon module on Phobos did not move at all.
Ou Zhanpeng's heart tightened, and he immediately resent it, but there was still no change.
The situation is not right, careless!
It is impossible for the two weapon modules to have problems at the same time, and it must be destroyed by alien species hidden on the satellite!
But just at the moment when the two of them were filled with righteous indignation, a dazzling bright light suddenly bloomed on the surface of Phobos.
In an indescribably powerful explosion, Phobos shattered into a cloud of scattered rubble.
Ou and Xu's anger immediately turned into consternation, and after a while, Xu Qing asked in disbelief, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Don't think that mushroom bombs are easy to detonate, a qualified mushroom bomb has a minimum of seven insurances, and any of them is still working, and there will be no accidents with the warhead.
There have been at least 30 "broken arrow" accidents with mushroom shells in the United States, and several of them even leaked out of nuclear charges, but except for a certain island, the big mushroom has never risen outside the test site.
Ou Zhanpeng is not an expert in growing mushrooms, and he does not know exactly how various insurances work, but he knows that the possibility of mushroom bombs exploding on their own is almost equal to zero.
Moreover, whether the mushroom bomb exploded or not was not directly related to the launch command of the spacecraft.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Ou Zhanpeng's mind: Could it be that the alien species dismantled the missile and was disassembling the warhead, and it happened to receive the launch signal at this time...... No, no, it should have been accidentally detonated when the alien species dismantled the mushroom bomb!
Replaced by an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything, he just gives him all the tools and doesn't know how to disassemble the mushroom bomb.
But the alien species itself has a very high level of technology, and it should not encounter too many difficulties in the process of dismantling, and the result is that after removing all the safety measures, it accidentally detonated the mushroom bomb.
It is even possible that the brainfish handed over the dismantling task to the giant species for their own safety or other reasons, and the clumsy giant species caused an accident.
There is also a possibility that the alien species did not understand the principle of the mushroom bomb at all, and piled up too many nuclear charges, and as a result, exceeded the critical mass.
In any case, the accident has happened, the two weapon modules were completely destroyed in the explosion, and the remaining missiles were either killed on the spot or completely damaged, and there is no hope for anything.
Fortunately, there are two other weapon modules on track.
The night was long and dreamy, Ou Zhanpeng immediately issued a new command, he immediately received a confirmation signal from the spare weapon module, and then several missiles ejected one after another, and ignited and flew to Mars after moving away from the module.
Every time a missile detaches, the weapon module floating in orbit will have a small pause, and within a few strokes, the original attitude of the module will be changed, and the attitude engine will have to be started to maintain its position.
In this way, it took more than 10 minutes to launch all the missiles except air defense.
They form a large group of missiles, rushing towards Mars, and in a few moments, the missiles that have reached cruising speed turn off their engines and continue to fly by inertia.
The speed of the missile is much faster than that of the fighter plane, and in just 12 minutes, it has already flown over a long distance of more than 9,000 kilometers, and when it is close to Mars, it starts the engine to accelerate twice, and flies separately to its respective targets.
The smoke and dust covering Mars not only obscured the alien bases, but also provided good protection for the missile swarms, many of which plunged headlong into the atmosphere and swooped down at breakneck speeds.
The speed of the missile is no less than 10 kilometers per second, and almost as soon as it enters the atmosphere, the head of the missile automatically splits, releasing the sub-warheads hidden in it.
Looking down at Mars from outer space, dozens of missiles fell towards Mars like a group of meteors, and after entering the atmosphere, they exploded in the air like fireworks, looking at it from a distance, like a meteor shower that affected the entire Mars.
Hundreds of meteor showers almost simultaneously sank into the smoke and dust in the sky, Ou Zhanpeng's heart suddenly lifted, and Xu Qing also grabbed Ou someone's arm uneasily.
