Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 329 Genesis (II)
The Divine Punishment will destroy most organizations that can oppose the Gattuso family, but it is impossible to kill them all with this thing alone. Once these coordinates are entered and sent, the satellite operating far away in the polar orbit will become a world-destroying machine, and an all-out war among the hybrids will break out.
That would cause many deaths, and even implicate human society outside the hybrid world. No matter what the outcome, anyone who made such a decision would become a sinner.
Saints and villains both have the opportunity to go down in history, but Pasi Gattuso has no choice. He looks up into the invisible sky, imagining that the satellites there are overlooking the earth from space, and the sword of Damocles that could destroy the world lies quietly in the launch slot. What he holds in his hands may be the fate of the entire world.
The coordinates were entered and confirmed to be correct. Any number after the decimal point would result in a huge deviation. Percy checked again and again and pressed the send button. The data returned to Rome and then transmitted to the satellite. The Sword of Damocles had been activated. When the satellite orbit passed through those pre-booked positions, divine punishment would destroy all candidates who could compete with the Gattuso family.
"The coordinates have been entered. The orbit of the Sword of Damocles will operate at an angle of ninety degrees above the equator. It will take 90 minutes to complete all strikes from east to west. It is currently approaching St. Petersburg." Percy walked out of the control room and reported the situation to Pompey.
"It's still a little slow. Maybe someone will react. But this is the only way. Let's sail away. We have 90 minutes to evacuate." Pompey raised his glass high, facing the new sunrise, "May the world usher in a new order after today!"
St. Petersburg was still in its early morning sleep, which is the quietest time of the day in modern society. Even those people who had fun all night were rushing home, ready to go back and have a good sleep. A bottle of vodka fell to the ground and was kicked away by someone accidentally, rolling very far.
The shrill air raid sirens pierced the night sky, waking countless people up from their sleep. They rushed to the windows to see what was happening outside. Hundreds of smoke and dazzling flames rose into the sky, like a gorgeous firework display.
St. Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia and a central municipality directly under the central government. It holds a vital position. Its air defense alarm system detected the arrival of the enemy and immediately launched an emergency attack on the target, which was about dozens of kilometers away from the city center. A swarm of air defense missiles roamed at high speed, covering the low altitude there.
The blazing meteors fell from the sky, with billowing smoke. People could only hear the violent explosions in the distant sky. The meteors still successfully fell to the ground, and a dazzling fire rose. A few seconds later, the vibration came with the shock wave, knocking the people watching at the window to the ground. Most of the windows were shattered in this wave of attack, and countless fragments flew into the room, causing the drunkards who were snoring like thunder to jump up.
Most of the onlookers were still alive because the explosion was far away from them, and they only suffered some skin injuries due to the impact and glass. People picked up the fallen mobile phones, contacted each other, and discussed what it was. Most people thought it was a falling meteor, and the specific location seemed to be in the mountains. They should be thankful that it did not fall directly into the city.
What they didn't know was that a luxurious manor was completely destroyed in the falling meteor. The shock wave and flames destroyed the area within several kilometers of the explosion center, leaving nothing man-made behind. The high temperature of thousands of degrees left black burnt earth on the ground, and not even a trace of the metal Alexander family emblem was preserved.
Perhaps tomorrow's news will only attribute this to an unfortunate accident, and the culprit satellite will have already headed for its next target point in the distant space orbit.
It was dinner time at Kassel College and the cafeteria was packed with people. The sisters from Lu Mingfei's fan club sat together at the same table as usual.
Xia Mi held a burrito in her mouth, eager to wrestle with the test paper in front of her. Although most of the subjects in this academy were very simple for her, some things were different from the dragon race she was familiar with. Humans did not master all of the dragon race, and many subjects were mixed with some of their own speculations and wrong judgments. Therefore, Xia Mi had to reversely learn these things that were incompatible with her cognition, otherwise her test paper would get a low score because it was too correct.
According to the recent pedigree test report, her pedigree has degenerated, and the college will not consider expelling her for the time being. But if she fails the exam, then there is no way to discuss this matter. These days, she is like an ordinary female college student, working hard day and night for her studies.
Ling sat right opposite Xia Mi, drinking juice and pointing out the mistakes on her test paper. Ling could basically get full marks in those subjects that could be passed by rote memorization.
Esther was playing with her cell phone, smiling foolishly and idiotically at the screen. No one knew what she was laughing at unless they could see the photos. But she would never show others how the domineering nobleman, the eternally burning eye magician, and her beloved beautiful enchantress in the twilight were thriving in the male escort club in Tokyo, Japan. Each photo was priceless and enough to create a storm in this academy.
When the Cassel team was still worried about their resumes, meeting Finger meant that there was no room for negotiation. On the surface, Finger was working diligently and conscientiously, relying on the thighs of the others to make a living in Takamagahara, but secretly he had taken new photos and sent them to Esther's email using the customer's mobile phone. Esther transferred the money to Finger's account as promised, and the two of them colluded with each other, paying money and delivering goods, without anyone noticing.
A call came into Esther's cell phone. After taking a look at the contact's name, Esther was a little surprised, but she still answered the call decisively.
"What's up?"
The person on the other end of the phone was the family's secretary. Normally, they wouldn't have frequent communication with her. If the secretary called her, it must be that the family had something to discuss with her.
"Miss. I don't have much time to explain to you, and I hope you won't be too surprised. The family's manor in Belfast has been destroyed by the Sword of the Natural Chasm. I'm at the scene now." The elderly secretary tried his best to control his emotions so as not to cry on the phone. He stood on the gray-black land, and in front of him was a devastated world that could not even be called a ruin. The extremely high temperature flattened many things.
He rubbed his eyes hard and continued to summarize the information: "That thing is the Gattuso family's space-based weapon, which is as powerful as a nuclear bomb. If the Gattuso family dares to do this, I'm afraid they will definitely wipe out all those who pose a threat to them, and the same goes for Kassel Academy. There is no time to be sad, get out of there! Run as far as you can!"
The sudden air raid sirens resounded over Kassel College. Esther was startled and her cell phone fell into the water cup. When she hurriedly fished it out, the call had been disconnected.
"An unknown attack against the college has been detected. An unknown attack against the college has been detected!" EVA's voice echoed in every corner of the campus.
Everyone started running at the same time. Similar training had been conducted many times. All emergency passages in the academy were opened, and the students entered the underground space from various places. The professors took on the task of temporary command, loudly giving directions, and the girls from the fan club also followed the crowd into the underground.
Schneider and Professor Manstein rushed into the central control room. The vice-president was already there. This big man had never left his tower during previous dragon invasions, but he was willing to show up now, which meant that the situation had developed to an extremely dangerous point.
"EVA, report the situation. " The vice-president held a PAD in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. Despite the situation, he still kept his hand on the tequila.
Several large pictures popped up on the screen in the central control room. They were the scenes after the attacks in St. Petersburg, Munich and Belfast. Witnessing these pictures in person was like looking at the scene after a nuclear explosion. There was nothing in the center of the explosion, only charred land, and there was not even a corpse to be found.
"This is the situation of attacks in other parts of the world in the past few minutes. It is speculated that they were space-based kinetic weapons. According to my calculations, there was only one satellite code-named GA001 that passed over these places at the time of the attack. The one behind it is the Gattuso family. Now this satellite is approaching the academy, and the possibility of it coming specifically to attack the academy cannot be ruled out."
Projected in the central control room is a girl in school uniform with a serious expression. When you look at her, you will feel that she seems to be alive. After all, there is a real person as a reference. In a sense, EVA is infinitely close to Finkel's girlfriend Gu Yiyi.
The professors all gasped. The Gattuso family was one of the college's directors and also the largest investor. Were they crazy to destroy their own industry?
The vice president was very calm. He knew much more than the professors. The college was just a military weapon cultivated by the directors. When it was still useful, it would be praised. But if it was useless, the fate of the weapon would either be sealed in a warehouse or destroyed, just like the aircraft carriers in the past would throw away the unused ammunition when returning . It was a waste, but it ensured the safety of everyone.
"What's the situation in Tokyo?" asked the vice-president.
"We were hit by a tsunami yesterday. Currently, most of the Internet is down. The cameras on the streets have not been restored yet. We can only communicate using satellite phones. All academy members in Tokyo have not communicated with the academy yet." EVA reported.
It seems that something big must have happened in Tokyo, but no definite news has been received so far. The vice-president has no way to judge. The Gattuso family must have known something, otherwise they would not have been able to do such a big thing.
"If this kind of weapon attacks the college, will the college be able to resist it?" Professor Schneider asked loudly.
"Based on the extent of damage in other places, its power is about 100,000 tons of nuclear explosion, with an effective killing radius of 3.2KM. The entire academy will no longer exist." A large number of meaningless characters flowed in EVA's pupils, and she calculated the possibility in just a few seconds.
"We thought our academy was strong enough, but we never considered the possibility of a nuclear explosion." The vice-president shook the bottle of wine. "If that thing really fell down, maybe only the people in the equipment department would survive? I remember that they have ten layers of defense, which is enough to withstand a nuclear explosion. There is also a tunnel leading to the girls' dormitory. I didn't expect that the ones who could protect the academy in the end would be these little bastards. Contact them for me!"
A few seconds later, the face of the Minister of Equipment appeared on the screen in the central control room. Because he was basically facing the screen, his face looked elongated in a somewhat scary way.
"Minister Mathur, I think you already know the seriousness of the problem. The college is about to be attacked like a nuclear explosion. Considering that you have previously applied for a budget to build the institute, I would like to know the specific possibilities, such as what kind of attack it can withstand." The vice president went straight to the point.
The people in the equipment department pay great attention to their own safety and protection. Their drinking water must be distilled and filtered through thirteen purification processes, and the air they breathe must be dust-free, ionized, and humidified. The only food they eat is hamburgers, French fries, and cola, which are sufficient for them to work for 72 hours straight.
After watching the movie "2012" together, the equipment department felt that they had not done enough. If the end of the world came, they, the elite talents, must survive and prepare for the order of the new world. So they collectively signed an application, requesting additional funds to build a complete equipment department protection layer, so that even if there is a flood or a nuclear explosion at the end of the world, they will preserve the fire of mankind like Noah's Ark in the Bible.
Ange and the lunatics had a long tug-of-war, repeatedly reminding them that 2012 was just a movie, not the real end of the world, and that day would only be a reward from the Black King. When he wakes up, even if you have 100 layers of defense, it will be useless. So the Equipment Department studied what the chances of us surviving if the Black King attacks the Equipment Department were, and then asked for the application back.
Just when Angers thought that these lunatics had given up, he received a new application. The Equipment Department added two zeros to the end of the original funding application.
"I've told you before that we're not wasting money by doing that, it's a precaution!"
Minister Mathur adjusted the position of the camera and placed it in front of him. He folded his hands and looked very proud, like a big boss. "EVA has given me the attack data, and the equipment department has made a complete calculation. I have to say that this is just a drop in the bucket. You know, there are ten different isolation layers above our heads, including 10-meter concrete walls, 50-centimeter-thick high-strength armor plates, lead alloy metals that restrain nuclear weapons attacks, and a large amount of graphite powder filling between the isolation layers. There is even a waterproof isolation layer! And that thing is just a kinetic explosion, and there is no radiation. We can survive if we withstand the explosion."
"Great! I've always said that Ange doesn't respect you enough. In fact, I've believed for many years that you are the saviors of the world! Only science nerds can save the world!" The vice-president did not hesitate to flatter, "Then is there enough space in the equipment department to accommodate everyone in the academy?"
"This... may be a little difficult." Minister Mathur scratched his head awkwardly. "Our largest space is the warehouse, but we have been experimenting with new weapons recently, so there are a lot of trial bombs piled up in the warehouse. I don't know if the shock of the attack will affect their inventory, and they may kill us. If we clear all these things out, there should be enough space."
"EVA! Send a message to all students and professors in the school engineering department, ordering them to go to the equipment department and move the bomb out!" The vice president gave the order decisively. The attack countdown given by EVA appeared on the screen. "18 minutes! Everyone pay attention, you must complete the task within 18 minutes and return to the equipment department to avoid the attack!"
"What a waste! That's the result of our hard work!" Minister Mathur's face was full of pain.
"It's okay, you can take them out and detonate them later. We only allowed you to make bombs before, but not to place them everywhere. This time is an exception." The vice-principal smiled kindly.
"I really hope that Principal Ange has not come back from Tokyo, so that I can give you my vote in the next referendum!" Minister Mathur happily left the camera and went to make arrangements with the people in the Equipment Department. It can be seen that he enjoyed this hard-won opportunity for a series of explosions.
"Is this really a good idea?" Professor Manstein looked a little uneasy. Although the biggest problem had been solved, he was now more afraid of the Equipment Department.
"We use their places, so we have to give them some privileges." The vice-president took a sip of tequila. "And you don't know what places were destroyed before. The Gattuso family is provoking a worldwide war of mixed-bloods, and those who have been hurt by them will become our allies. This time, all of the academy will be destroyed except for the equipment department, but the funds that those friendly forces can provide us with for counterattack will be dozens of times of these properties! Enough to rebuild several academies. The only problem is that we can't protect the collection in the ice cellar, because the defense there is not as complete as the crazy equipment department. And... we will lose EVA."
The professors looked at the projection in the control room together. Although strictly speaking EVA was just a machine artificial intelligence, it was hard to say that the people in the academy had no feelings for her. Everyone's daily life and all matters of the academy, big and small, were arranged by EVA.
"I have said goodbye to you once, so I won't be afraid to say goodbye a second time." EVA gave everyone a smile from her own point of view. At this moment, Professor Schneider seemed to see . "I will save my core data on a hard drive. Even though the computer room will be destroyed, I will stick with you until the last moment. When the college is rebuilt in the future, if you are still willing, we will have a chance to meet again."
She opened her arms and made a hugging gesture. Schneider was the first to go up and hug her goodbye, although he could only touch the misty air. Then everyone took turns to say goodbye to EVA, even the vice principal was no exception.
