Yang Congxian did not speak. Hu Rui, who was standing aside, explained: "The 65th Base is a branch of our country's Rocket Force and is stationed in the provincial capital."
Rocket Army?
Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, and then realized that this name was not actually widely circulated, but another name was more widely known, which was the so-called "Second Artillery".
The name was given due to strategic secrecy when the Xia State established the army in the last century. It was affiliated with the Army. It was officially independent a few years ago and became one of the five major military services of the Xia State.
As for the weapons it controls, they are mainly missiles and even... nuclear weapons!
"They want to use nuclear weapons?" Cheng Lin asked blankly.
Then I saw Hu Rui burst into laughter and said, "What are you thinking? How is it possible? He must be referring to missiles."
Cheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief and saw clearly. Are you going to use weapons of this level to deal with monsters? No, it's not just that. From what the man said, dealing with monsters is just incidental. The main purpose is to destroy the maelstrom once and for all.
Solving the problem of marriage is a bold idea, but...
"Can the maelstrom really be erased in this way?" Cheng Lin was very doubtful.
"No one knows, after all, I haven't tried it," Hu Rui shook her head, paused, and said, "It's just...according to the information we currently have, it's very uncertain."
"Monsters can also use spiritual energy, so you can boldly regard them as monks from another world. The space entrance is too metaphysical. With the level of spiritual energy technology we currently have, it is impossible to analyze it. However, according to past experience, the whole world
All fields of psychic research follow one maxim."
"What rules?"
Hu Rui said one word at a time: "Only spiritual energy can deal with spiritual energy!"
…
…
When leaving the warehouse, Cheng Lin's words from Hu Rui kept echoing in his mind.
"Can only psychic powers... be used to deal with psychic powers?"
he murmured.
This sentence sounds simple, but the meaning behind it is very deep.
Since the beginning of the resurgence of spiritual energy, almost all the smartest minds in the world have squeezed into this field. Although the research has been completed for less than three years, humans have already established many theoretical models.
After countless quarrels and experiments, everyone unanimously concluded this sentence, which naturally has profound truth.
The most superficial thing is... if you deal with the same monster with a rifle, you may not even be able to break its skin.
But if you fight with a superpower that is as destructive as a rifle, you can tear flesh and blood.
"The outside of the monster is covered with a psychic film. Physical and chemical attacks are powerless against this film. You can use spiritual energy to condense it into a ball of fire, but it can dissolve the film."
"It may sound illogical, but it's the truth. It's just like... you want to clean a greasy plate. No matter how hard you rub your hands, you can't clean it. But if you drop some dishwashing liquid,
, rinse it with hot water...and it will be clean immediately."
When explaining this principle, Hu Rui gave a vivid example.
It can be inferred from this that they are unanimously not optimistic about tonight's action.
In fact, he was extremely uneasy about entrusting the defense duties to those soldiers.
"They don't understand practitioners at all, and their thinking still stays at the level of 'truth and cannons.' In fact, many big figures in God City don't understand either. Many people even insist that practitioners can only solve public security cases, and
They are not really important weapons to defend the country... So, facing the maelstrom, they believe in thermal weapons more than monks!" At the end of the conversation, Hu Rui complained with some indignation.
After saying that, he patted Cheng Lin on the shoulder and said angrily: "Just wait. Once these arrogant people can't hold on, it's up to us. Don't relax and cheer up."
These words replayed in my mind.
Cheng Lin slowly strolled on the cement road in Liangang, the corners of his mouth gradually raised.
"According to past experience... it can't be defended so easily. It seems that the content of this deduction is the invasion of alien creatures. Well... it's a bit like Pacific Rim. It's a pity that we don't have mechas..."
After complaining, Cheng Lin was looking forward to the "good show" in the evening.
Yang Congxian left to find Shen Shanjing and others.
Hu Rui followed.
As for Cheng Lin, he was originally asked to eat or rest first.
Anyway, the current defense tasks have been taken over by the army, and Tellis suddenly became more relaxed.
Doesn't what Lieutenant Colonel Yu mean by "checking and filling in the gaps" just means having the people from the special department sit in the back and watch the show, then clap their hands and shout 666?
Everyone can see this point of view. Although Trisi and this group of gun-bearers are both serving the country and the people, they are still somewhat competitive with each other.
Maybe it's because Tris has been so popular in the past six months, so these people want to show off, right?
Thinking of this, Cheng Lin simply started wandering around the harbor.
As long as he didn't go to the beach, no one would stop him.
It didn't take long.
It got dark, the pale sun disappeared, and a salty sea breeze blew over.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, it started to drizzle.
The harbor was so dark, and the warehouses stretched like mountains.
However, more soldiers came, and Cheng Lin even saw a tank rumbling over. Unfortunately, he didn't have the F key.
After finally staying up until almost eight o'clock, Cheng Lin finally received the defensive task.
It was ordered by Shen Shanjing.
Terry's people need to be divided into groups to garrison the coast and occupy a small dock. Once the monsters get out of control, they can fight at any time.
This made Cheng Lin excited.
With unlimited resurrection, he was fearless and finally ran over. If he didn't go up and fight the monsters for a few rounds, wouldn't it be in vain?
It's a pity that he checked the electronic list twice and couldn't find his name.
"Brother Hu, which group should I be assigned to?"
Seeing Hu Rui coming over, Cheng Lin asked quickly.
Hu Rui chuckled, pulled him to the side of the car, and said: "As a fourth-grade person, you are not divided into groups and are on call at any time. You will follow the chief and others at critical moments. Speaking of which, I really can't tell that you are already a fourth-grade person at such a young age. , the future is promising.”
"Luck." Cheng Lin smiled.
"You haven't had dinner yet? I brought it to you. Let's talk while eating."
Hu Rui took out a plastic bag from the back seat of the car.
When Cheng Lin touched it, it was still warm.
After hiding in the car and finishing dinner, Cheng Lin wiped his mouth and said, "What time will the attack start in the evening?"
"It's coming soon. If you want to see it, we have to get a good seat in advance."
…
The sea is darker at night, the wind is strong, and the waves are rolling.
But compared to the terrifying tonnage of the battleship, it seems to be nothing.
Tonight's battle command center is located on a large ship in the center.
When Yu Jiang pushed open the door of the ship's central control room, he was stung by the light inside and subconsciously tilted his head.
The central control room is very spacious.
Connected to the office area and conference room.
The lights were brightly lit at this time, and many people in pure white clothes were walking around inside, filling the place with a reassuring noise.
"Lieutenant Colonel Yu." The oncoming man greeted him. Yu Jiang nodded subconsciously, then smiled and explained: "It's too dark outside."
"Normal." The man smiled.
"How is it going?"
"Everything is as usual, no monsters have appeared during this period, but according to the records provided by Tris and others...it is very likely that monsters will come over soon, and these guys have a high probability of appearing at this point."
"This is what we expected, otherwise why would we set the attack time at this time?" Yu Jiang said with some pride.
The two chatted briefly, and Yu Jiang stepped in.
After patrolling around, we came to the radar display in the middle.
This operation was not led by him. The reason why he came here was mainly to watch the excitement.
Large screens covered large sections of the wall, showing the surrounding sea areas.
This is a radar image that monitors the sea surface at all times.
The pattern is like a meteorological hurricane chart. On the boundless blue Bohai Sea, a group of high-energy vortices is extremely conspicuous and constantly moving. The large vortex is not stationary, but moves irregularly, and its area is getting larger and larger.
As for monsters, according to experience, they do not always emerge from the center of the vortex, but may break out of the water at any point in the area covered by the vortex.
Otherwise, you only need to strike at targeted locations, which is very easy.
Taking into account its movement and the fact that the location of the monster's appearance is not fixed, this firepower attack was handed over to the 65th base... which can be regarded as a coordinated operation.
From the provincial capital to Liangang... the straight-line distance is only more than 300 kilometers. This distance can be easily covered by short-range missiles, not to mention intercontinental missiles.
The warhead fired from the provincial capital will fly out of the atmosphere and correct its direction in real time with the help of satellite positioning to ensure it accurately hits the target location.
This is also the source of his confidence.
Monster?
Isn't it just an awakened animal? Not even practitioners can block this attack.
What kind of trouble can these simple-minded, low-IQ beasts create?
"How long is the time left?"
Yu Jiang suddenly asked.
One person replied: "Two minutes! In two minutes, Base 65 will launch on time and is expected to arrive within 60 seconds!"
"good!"
Yu Jiang nodded, took a cup of hot water from the side, and stared at the sea leisurely.
At this time, he suddenly saw abnormal changes on the radar map. The speed of the entire maelstrom increased, the color became more eye-catching, and a "buzzing" alarm sounded, stirring the entire central control room.
"Alert! There is abnormal energy on the sea surface, and a suspected monster appears!"
someone shouted.
On another screen, the night camera clearly transmitted the real image back. In the turbid sea, there were faint mysterious tentacles swinging!
"So on time?" Yu Jiang was stunned for a moment, but then he was not surprised but happy, thinking that the intelligence from Special Intelligence was quite accurate, and there was no difference of two minutes.
He turned to look at one person and asked again: "How long until launch?"
"One minute and 32 seconds!"
…
…
It was different from Yu Jiang who was standing in the noisy but brightly lit and orderly central control room.
Cheng Lin was wearing a raincoat at the moment.
I just sat firmly on the elevated platform dozens of meters above the ground.
The cold iron shelf is indeed not a comfortable seat, but it can provide a good view.
As soon as he straightened the clothes under his buttocks, he heard Hu Rui next to him whisper: "The monster has appeared!"
