At the command, the speeding Swift suddenly pulled up, from facing the enemy on the nose to facing the enemy on the belly. Then a bright light suddenly bloomed. It started out as just a point. After exploding, it expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it became a light with a diameter of seven meters.
A giant ball of light that is eight kilometers across and far brighter than the sun.
It was different from any previous nuclear explosion. The hemisphere facing the insect swarm was low in brightness, like a light bulb with insufficient voltage. In contrast, the hemisphere facing away from the insect swarm was brighter and rounder, almost a circle larger.
a feeling of.
Before the ball of light dispersed, the violent neutrons swept through the insect swarm in an instant. Ninety-nine percent of the insect machines within the death radius were dead, without even a chance to struggle.
Less than one percent of the insect drones survived. They had several characteristics in common. One was that they were located on the edge of the death radius, and the other was that they were blocked by human warships.
The insect drones outside the death radius were not much better. They suffered severe injuries that should have been serious, minor injuries that should have been minor, and very few escaped unscathed.
Not only was the insect swarm destroyed by this "semi-neutron bomb", the international fleet was also affected by the explosion. Just as the light ball dissipated, the Jizhou received the laser communication from the international fleet - although the nuclear explosion was over, the electromagnetic environment was also affected by the nuclear explosion.
Destroyed, wireless communications were completely paralyzed, and lasers were relied upon to keep communications open.
The communication was connected, and Halsey's distorted face appeared on the screen: "General Huo, what should I say?"
Huo Qiang smiled slightly: "It goes without saying thank you. Without you to hold back the swarm, we would not have succeeded."
Halsey's expression became even more distorted: "Do I need to thank you? So many of my people have died, and so many battleships have been damaged. You have such powerful nuclear weapons, why didn't you take them out earlier!" At the end,
His words had turned into a roar.
"Halsey, calm down!" Huo Qiang said.
"I can't calm down!" Halsey's face was ferocious, as if she wanted to eat someone... No one could calm down if this happened to her.
Huo Qiang's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "That's not a new weapon, it's just a shell of a super nuclear bomb. You also have this thing." There is no need to keep this matter secret. Just observe it carefully and combine it with the effect of the explosion.
, you can put the situation into perspective.
I don’t know if Halsey thought of something, but after hearing the fee, she suddenly fell silent and even looked away from the camera.
Huo Qiang secretly guessed that Halsey might be asking how the stripped super nuclear bomb could be so powerful.
The silence lasted for more than ten seconds. Halsey finally came back to his senses. The ferocity on his face gradually dissipated and turned into indescribable fatigue: "Okay, I understand. How many super nuclear bombs do you have?"
Huo Qiang said: "Do you want to ask if it's cooked or not?"
Halsey was stunned: "Pick it up?"
"Yes, it's just peeling." Huo Qiang made a peeling gesture, "Purely handmade."
Halsey was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Thank you for thinking it through." He finally understood the cause and effect.
Huo Qiang shrugged and gave a particularly innocent smile: "There is no way, let the aliens force me."
"Okay, let's stop talking here. Callisto is solved, and there are Ganymede and Europa behind it. Should we make a few more super neutron bombs?"
Huo Qiang said: "I don't have much stock here. Let's squeeze out three or five more."
Halsey sighed: "I still have quite a few here. I can give you a few if you need them."
In order to deal with aliens, Beidu and the base group have gradually transformed from potential military confrontation to in-depth military cooperation, ranging from wires, cables and screws to spaceships, battleships and space stations. The cooperation between the two parties is everywhere.
Take battleships as an example. Regardless of the structure of the battleship, the materials inside and outside the ship, or various weapons, they all use the same technology and the same standard. They can be used interchangeably without any technical obstacles.
Huo Qiang narrowed his eyes and secretly guessed Halsey's intention.
Night owls come into the house and come for anything. Super nuclear bombs are not a big deal. Even if there are aliens as a common enemy, Halsey does not need to give the super nuclear bomb to the Chinese fleet.
This matter makes no sense logically, and Huo Qiang concluded based on this that Halsey's purpose was by no means simply to send a few nuclear bombs.
So what exactly is Halsey's purpose?
The international fleet and the insect swarm fought tooth and nail and suffered considerable losses; the Jizhou fleet captured Callisto, but the losses were minimal.
If Halsey hands over the nuclear bomb to the Jizhou fleet, and then uses the heavy losses of the fleet as an excuse to ask the Jizhou fleet to take the lead... He is short-tongued and soft-handed, and even if he refuses then, he will not be so confident.
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. No matter what Halsey thinks, just think that he wants to plot against the Jizhou fleet!
Thinking of this, Huo Qiang made a decision and said calmly: "No, the rest is enough... General Halsey, thanks to your army holding back the swarm, we have the opportunity to bomb Callisto. I suggest
Leave Ganymede to you, just in time to use these super nuclear bombs."
Everyone is carrying the sedan chair, and saying a few nice words won't kill anyone, but attacking Ganymede and Europa, there's no telling what will happen.
Halsey's eyes twitched and he quickly said: "General Huo, I really want to agree with you, but you have also seen our situation. With such a big loss, half of the battleships can still fight. Although I
I really want to attack Ganymede with your army, but the objective conditions simply do not allow it."
"This is the common mission of our two fleets!" Huo Jia said emphatically, "I have sent two battle groups to intercept the alien fleet, and the remaining battleships will follow soon. I will block the enemy, and Ganymede, you will do it.
Explode, isn't that great? How about we switch, you stop the aliens, and I lead the fleet to blow up Ganymede?"
Halsey still refused to agree, shook his head and said: "This is impossible, you know what is happening with my fleet..."
"Then do you want to stay here and pass the entire mission to us? Halsey, let me remind you again that this is the mission of our two fleets. I know very well that your losses are serious, but this is not a reason to pass the mission off.
!”
"I'm not trying to shirk the mission, but my battleship needs to be repaired and my boys need to rest before they can go into battle at their best, okay?"
Huo Qiang responded tit-for-tat: "It takes more than seventy hours to fly from Callisto to Ganymede. I suggest you leave the immovable warships behind. The other warships can be repaired on the way, and the boys can rest on the way. What do you think?
?”
"I don't think so!" Halsey said angrily.
Huo Qiang had lost his patience and didn't want to argue with Halsey anymore, so he broke out directly: "I can interpret your words as a refusal to implement the expedition plan, right?"
Halsey denied it: "Of course not!"
Huo Qiang smiled slightly: "Then we have reached an agreement."
