Chapter 725
Looking at the mushroom cloud rising into the sky, people on Earth are also paying close attention, wondering what the outcome of the attack will be.
It’s a pity that the power of the nuclear bomb itself is too great, and the aftermath is too large, which will affect subsequent throws.
Otherwise, immediately use other nuclear bombs with the ability to drill into the ground to make the final move, which should have the best effect.
Now, in order to ensure accuracy, we must wait until the impact of the nuclear bomb dissipates before dropping the remaining nuclear bombs.
"At this distance, we should be able to wipe out everything on the enemy's surface. If those things on the surface can withstand nuclear bombs, then we really have no hope..."
“We must clear it!”
"There's only smoke but no injuries. I'm so scared. I'm so scared that when the dust from the nuclear bomb clears, we'll see a larger swarm of insects..."
"Umbrella's 'Alcyon I' is coming."
"Are we finally here? This place has already been bombed."
"The masses are completely different. 'Xingxiu I' is bigger than the others combined."
“…”
Amidst the many voices, Umbrella's Alphard I finally spiraled into Mars' synchronous orbit and stopped above the nuclear explosion area.
Because of its mass and rotation, Mars' synchronous orbit is about 20,000 kilometers from the center of the Earth and about 17,000 kilometers from the ground.
With the defensive equipment that appeared in the early stages of the bugs and the previous interception methods, it is not possible to launch an effective attack on this location for the time being.
So the 'Xingxiu I' stops very steadily.
After reaching orbit, multiple high-definition probes were also turned on to lock onto the nuclear explosion area below.
Wang Yi also came to Penglai's command center at this time and looked at the many parameters about "Xingxiu I".
"The bugs are not invincible. This attack should be enough to destroy all the initial accumulation on their surface. The functional bugs will be completely killed, and the nutrients in the egg sheath should also be almost consumed."
Wang Yi has made a preliminary judgment based on his understanding of the Abyss Zerg .
Once that group of creatures whose survival rate was almost at its limit landed on the ground, it would be difficult to eradicate them. After they hid underground, Wang Yi's original initial goal was to curb their development to prevent them from expanding disorderly with the help of the nutrients in the ootheca and the initial eggs.
"All parties have sent inquiries as to whether their remaining nuclear bombs will be coordinated with us."
Lin Shiqin appeared beside Wang Yi with a smile and asked.
"Let's keep them for now. Let them divide the spacecraft into different orbits to complete the monitoring and cooperate with the long-term monitoring and cleanup strikes in the future..."
Wang Yi said with a sigh that if it cannot be eradicated, the only thing to do is to remain vigilant and prepared.
"Xingxiu I" is specially designed for space interception, and so is its weapon system.
Although due to the size and function of 'Altair I', it also carries a probe ready to be launched to the asteroid belt, but its main purpose this time is still to deal with uninvited guests from space.
But at the beginning Wang Yi didn’t know that they were bugs, so the main weapon he designed was still for space attack.
In the vacuum environment of space, many conventional weapons actually have limited effectiveness.
The best attack is actually gamma rays. In the vacuum environment of space, there is no need to consider the problem of ionized atmosphere. Direct high-intensity gamma rays are enough to wipe out all kinds of disobedience. Taking a step back, laser weapons are also quite good.
Unfortunately, this thing consumes too much energy, and the converted output power is also a troublesome problem.
If the beam weapon does not have enough power, it will be a bit embarrassing.
Therefore, although the 'Star I' also has a high-powered beam weapon launcher, it is mainly used to prevent small high-speed units from getting close to it, and is not intended to be used as the main attack force.
The most cost-effective weapon is the electromagnetic kinetic energy weapon.
The main gun of Xingxiu I is a large-caliber electromagnetic gun!
As "Xingxiu I" adjusted its direction in orbit, the front muzzle gradually faced the ground of Mars.
During the Star Wars era, the "Rod of God" plan was proposed, which used tungsten rods to be projected directly into space, relying purely on kinetic energy to cause damage.
However, this plan was eventually disproven by a major Eastern country. After a test in the Gobi Desert, it was found that its power was very ordinary and not as good as conventional ballistic missiles.
but!
That was a free fall movement, and the Earth's atmosphere is hundreds of times denser than that of Mars, so the strong air resistance itself is a problem.
And now, in the synchronous orbit above Mars, 17,000 kilometers above the surface, as the muzzle of "Xingxiu I" is adjusted.
The initial strength of modern space-based weapons also began to emerge!
As Umbrella played the external camera footage of the "Alphard I", the majestic main gun muzzle in front was revealed.
Many people on Earth who have been watching couldn't help but type "question mark".
"What is this?"
"Space-based weapons?"
“Ah, this…”
"This thing wasn't originally developed for killing bugs, right?"
"Who is that?"
"Big Pretty is trembling."
“…”
As netizens discussed the matter, Da Piaoliang and many people in the organization felt cold sweat on their foreheads.
Oh shit!
I was staring at your mecha at first, but what did you take out without making any noise?
The muzzle of that gun looks very rude!
However, while cursing in their hearts, many of the top executives breathed a sigh of relief.
Umbrella is surprisingly reliable when it comes to being an ally...
As the main gun was charging, people gradually discovered that there was something similar to the image of the main gun.
Especially when the arc started flashing, it seemed like I had seen it somewhere!
"Do you think this thing is similar to a mass projector?"
"Surprise! Space-based mass projector?"
"To go from Earth to space, one needs to overcome gravity and strong air resistance. But if we bomb Mars in the opposite direction, gravity will become a boost, and the air resistance will be much smaller..."
“…”
Before more people could react, the main gun of "Xingxiu I" also roared.
boom!
Even the size of "Xingxiu I" was obviously moved a long way back. A stream of light instantly pierced through the atmosphere of Mars, tearing apart the mushroom cloud produced by the previous nuclear explosion, and completely erasing the dark mushroom cloud like an eraser, penetrating through!
Boom!
The entire basin where the Zerg were located was once again filled with dust, and it seemed that the dull vibration of the earth could be felt even in space.
However, the next moment, the central area broke out of the ground again, setting off a violent fireball, like the scorching sun shining on the sky and earth, destroying everything in front of it!
This made everyone's eyes widen.
Oh shit!
Are you launching an electromagnetic or nuclear bomb?!
Control the amount of fissionable material so that it does not reach the threshold during electromagnetic acceleration, and directly detonate to form fusion when the impact is completed.
This main gun fire from Umbrella's spaceship truly achieved equality for all, not giving ground targets any time to react, and its accuracy rate was off the charts!
As the main gun accumulated energy, before the first fireball completely dissipated, the second shot had already blasted the fireball apart and hit the target area again!
"Da Piaoliang wants to thank Umbrella for not killing her."
"Zerg: Then I shouldn't need to thank you, right?"
"It has to be Umbrella..."
"Yes, a full sense of security and reliability."
"We should kill it this time, right? Even if the bugs burrow into the ground, it won't work..."
"Not necessarily. It depends on how deep they drilled..."
After firing ten consecutive rounds from its main gun, the Xingxiu I spacecraft stopped firing and just hovered above Mars' synchronous orbit.
At the same time, Umbrella also issued an official statement
"Once the aftermath of the nuclear explosion has died down, we will send a landing capsule to send a group of robots down to conduct exploration, and the 'Xingxiu I' will temporarily remain in the orbit of Mars for surveillance. At that time, other spacecraft are requested to go to different orbits to monitor whether there are bugs emerging in other areas..."
Although they haven't been explored yet, Wang Yi actually knows that it is unlikely to eliminate those creatures with full survival points in one go, and they will probably mainly develop underground in the future.
When the opportunity is right, I still have to go to Mars. If it's a decapitation operation, I should be stronger...
