Chapter 304: Undersea wormholes seek support conditions

Views:

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

On Earth, somewhere in Hawaii, at a naval base in the Federation, alarms were blaring.

At the same time, the energy monitoring satellite above the Federation also detected a powerful energy fluctuation outbreak in the waters near Hawaii.

Amid the shrill alarms, the Federation's newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan, sailed to the accident area under the escort of seven battleships.

The Hawaii Naval Port plays an extremely important role in the federal defense system, and the sea area where the accident occurred is located in the heart of the federation.

Nearly a hundred fighter jets took off urgently from the nearby air force base, roaring past the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and the heavy missiles hanging under the wings sparkled in the sun.

"Oh my God! What the hell is that?"

An aircraft carrier-based aircraft was the first to arrive at the accident area. He looked down through the porthole and what came into view was a huge whirlpool of sea water flashing with arcs of energy in the boiling sea water.

In the whirlpool of sea water, a red lobster-like monster was climbing out through the whirlpool, if there were lobsters in the world that were nearly a hundred meters long.

It was not until the monster crawled out of the vortex that the pilot on the fighter plane saw its full appearance. The monster had a lobster-like head and its lower body had tentacles similar to those of an octopus.

The huge suction cups on the raised octopus tentacles reminded the driver of the giant sea monsters in monster movies that could pull a ship into the bottomless abyss.

"Sir, we have arrived at the target sea area. A huge whirlpool of sea water has appeared on the sea surface, and there is also a lobster that looks quite large. What should we do next?"

Fighter planes arrived at the target sea area one after another, and the communication channels were filled with the pilots' exclamations and reports from time to time.

"I can see, guys, this waters is too close to Hawaii. I don't care if it's a lobster or something else, it's already a threat to the federal homeland. Get rid of it!"

In Hawaii, at a federal military base, a white-bearded general was looking at the surveillance screen in front of him. The large screen showed the situation in the target sea area in a grid.

These images include surveillance images sent back by front-line fighter jets as well as images taken by low-Earth orbit satellites.

At the command center, a group of staff officers and scientific researchers were conducting intensive calculations and analyses in front of computers, calculating the damage caused by this sudden vortex.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

Following the commander's order, the pilots of nearly a hundred federal fighter planes pressed the fire control launch buttons on their fighter planes at the same time.

Boom boom boom! Amid the violent explosions, hundreds of air-to-ground missiles and rockets hit the target at the same time.

The red lobster monster's head was instantly blown into pieces by humans' technological weapons. After a low roar, it became silent.

In the command room of the Hawaii military base, a group of officers cheered when they saw this scene. Commander Lieutenant General Connor looked at the lobster monster on the screen that was deader than dead, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Connor had been worried that this lobster monster was a monster like the Tokyo giant snake, but he didn't expect that this lobster monster was actually very big, but it was a fake.

The owner of the White House and the Pentagon were also relieved like Connor. The tragedy in Tokyo a few years ago was still fresh in their minds.

The current government does not want to step down because of a behemoth.

"It's just a larger lobster. Tell the aircraft carrier fleet to find a way to tow it back to the base. Maybe they can find something out of it."

Connor put his hands behind his back, looked at the big screen and gave orders to his adjutant in a relaxed manner.

"Yes! Sir!"

The next moment, both Connor and the cheering officers were stunned. On the screen, a huge eagle-like mouth suddenly stretched out from the huge whirlpool of sea water and bit the lobster's head.

A huge guy covered with spikes like a turtle crawled out from the whirlpool of the sea. Its huge body was like an island. It seemed to be completely unconcerned about the fighter planes hovering in the air, and it swallowed the corpse of the lobster monster bite by bite.

"Kill it!"

Without waiting for Connor's order, nearly a hundred fighter planes hovering in the air opened fire at the giant turtle in the sea.

Boom boom boom—

The intensive firepower of nearly a hundred fighter planes once again accurately hit the target. The smoke of the gunfire passed.

Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, what was revealed under the smoke was a monster that looked like a giant alligator turtle, with its carapace intact.

"Increase firepower and continue the attack. Where is the Reagan? Send them the precise coordinates of the sea area and tell them to be ready to use long-range missiles to attack at any time. Inform the Pentagon and put the base on level one alert!

Apply to the White House for permission to use space-based weapons, and tell them to be prepared to evacuate Hawaii residents at any time!"

General Connor watched with a grim face as the fighter planes' attack proved ineffective. He issued orders repeatedly to the adjutant beside him.

"General, isn't that too much of an exaggeration? It's just a monster. We have a powerful aircraft carrier fleet. This alligator turtle just has strong defense. I think we can kill it!"

The adjutant looked at General Connor in surprise.

General Connor looked around and found that not only his adjutant, but also some officers in the command room had expressions of disapproval on their faces, obviously thinking that he was making a fuss out of nothing.

"My experience in the South battlefield tells me that if we find a monkey in the jungle, it means that there are at least a dozen or even more monkeys that we haven't found." Connor, a former Vietnam War veteran, pointed to the huge vortex of sea water on the screen and said:

"A lobster monster and a turtle can appear in this whirlpool. After we kill the turtle, will a shark appear?"

With a stern look, he cast his gaze around all the soldiers. These soldiers took a step back in fear. Connor roared:

"Remember, boys, the Hawaii base we are stationed in is in the heart of the Federation, not an overseas base. A small mistake will cause irreparable losses to the Federation. On the battlefield, you must prepare for the worst. Remember?"

"Yes! General!"

In the command room, many soldiers and officers saluted Connor.

Soon, Connor's recommendations were placed in the White House office, on the president's desk, and another analysis report appeared on the secretary of defense's desk.

In fact, Connor's concerns were soon confirmed.

After the federal fighter planes used energy laser weapons to kill the alligator-like sea monster, another monster appeared in the huge whirlpool of sea water.

This time, the monster's body was covered with mirror-like bone armor. This mirror-like bone armor that could emit lasers instantly rendered the energy weapons on the federal fighter jets ineffective.

This monster looks weird, like an eight-legged crab with diamond-shaped lenses on its back.

Finally, more than a dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from the Hawaii base, which shattered the crab's back prism. The fighter jets then used high-energy laser weapons to finish it off, thus destroying it.

Although the three-headed monster was destroyed,

For the federal military, the situation is far worse than Connor had predicted. These monsters may not be unintelligent. They may be making some adjustments based on the attacks they have encountered. Or, on the other side of the vortex, there is an alien race that is different from the Earth, and these monsters are biological weapons sent out by them.

In the waters of Hawaii, the huge underwater whirlpool and the rumbling radio waves that appear from time to time are like the sword of Damocles hanging over your head.

The Federal Pentagon quickly recruited the Federation's most famous physicists, biologists, outer space research scholars, and wormhole theory experts to conduct research on these monsters and the huge underwater whirlpool.

Soon a report was sent to the federal president. The first black president in federal history to enter the White House frowned as he looked at the analysis report in front of him.

The big vortex is suspected to be a wormhole!

The biological genes in the monster's body have been artificially adjusted, and the possibility of it being a biological weapon is over 80%.

The monster's blood contains a large amount of toxins. After sampling and analysis, the three dead monsters have polluted more than 100 kilometers of sea area in Hawaii.

The Hawaii city government is blocking beach bathing areas and prohibiting tourists and local residents from entering.

"In other words, this is a premeditated invasion by an alien race. Does the Pentagon have any good suggestions?" The president held a few thin pages of paper in his hand, but they seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds!

"The Minister suggested using space-based weapons directly to destroy the huge underwater whirlpool, but all residents near the Hawaiian coastline need to be evacuated first. According to calculations, when the space-based weapons fall, the waves created may trigger a Category 5 tsunami!" said the chief of staff.

A Category 5 tsunami, according to the international sea level classification, is a disaster, enough to destroy all buildings along the coast of Hawaii.

"How confident are you?" The president touched his chin and frowned. If he could completely solve this underwater whirlpool that was suspected to be a wormhole, he wouldn't mind giving it a try.

"The Ministry of National Defense is waiting for the analysis results. They have sent out a special operations team to conduct spectral analysis and energy detection on the Great Vortex!"

"How long will it take?"

"The Ministry of National Defense said that it will take at least three days for the analysis results to come out!"

... ... ...

Three days passed in a flash, but three days was enough time for many things to happen.

First, a large underwater whirlpool similar to the one in Hawaiian waters appeared near the English Channel in the UK. This time, the monster made a much bigger noise than that in Hawaiian waters.

The appearance of the huge underwater vortex directly triggered a 6.9-magnitude earthquake on the British Peninsula. An obviously optimized monster directly broke through the blockade of the British Royal Navy and landed on the British Peninsula.

After destroying several coastal towns on the British Peninsula, the British Empire's army was defeated by the monster. In the end, it was several Knights of the Round Table wearing ancient armor who used their extraordinary powers to kill the monster.

To the surprise of federal researchers, the Kaiju killed by supernatural power did not release poisonous gas and pollute the environment like the three monsters in the Hawaiian waters.

In response, the White House held urgent friendly talks with the British government and urgently dispatched more than a dozen top biologists to "support" the UK.

After dissecting the monster, which the government named "Kaiju Beast", the biological characteristics of the monster were quickly revealed.

The blood of this monster contains a highly poisonous substance. Once they cause massive bleeding, the toxins in the blood will evaporate when they come into contact with the earth's air, changing the earth's soil, atmosphere, and ecological environment.

The reason why the monsters killed by those knights did not cause any harm was because the attacks of these Knights of the Round Table were not large-scale. They used their extraordinary powers to cause massive internal bleeding to the monster.

These highly toxic bloods did not react with the earth's oxygen, so they did not cause toxic gas pollution.

Following the English Channel whirlpool, large underwater whirlpools appeared one after another in the waters near Manila, Tokyo, Sydney and Hong Kong.

One after another, Kaiju swarmed out from these underwater whirlpools, and at this time, governments around the world also learned that the blood of these monsters was highly poisonous.

Even if they have powerful thermal weapons, they dare not use them at will.

After all, environmental protection organizations shout slogans just to get money, the poison in these chrysanthemums can really be fatal.

Just when all countries were helpless in the face of this monster, a giant beast that looked like a strange fish appeared near HK and swallowed up the giant snail-like Kaiju.

Then Godzilla, the King of Titans, appeared in the waters near Tokyo Bay and killed another Kaiju.

The appearance of two Titans, the overlords of the ocean, undoubtedly gave humanity a shot in the arm. However, as more and more large underwater whirlpools appeared and the distances between them became farther and farther, even with the help of two Titans, humans still had to deal with these troublesome Kaiju.

The SHIELD under the World Security Council is like a dog chasing a rabbit, with its aerospace carriers chasing these Kaiju all over the world.

But these Kaiju beasts on the opposite side cannot be defeated. Even though the aerospace aircraft carrier is equipped with the most advanced technological weapons in the human world, for a while it feels like a dog biting a hedgehog and has no idea where to start.

Perhaps because of the inspiration given by the Knights of the Round Table of the British government, the Federal Ministry of Defense urgently coordinated with the supernatural power management department and dispatched a large number of supernatural forces to use their power to deal with the underwater beasts.

However, because it is located on the bottom of the sea, unless the Kaiju come ashore, ordinary supernatural powers will not be able to work on these monsters that are hundreds of meters tall across billions of tons of sea water.

Governments of various countries have also conducted analyses on underwater wormholes during this period, and finally concluded that these underwater wormholes are surrounded by a layer of energy light film protection, and even space-based weapons may not be able to penetrate this layer of light film.

To this end, the White House mobilized a satellite carrying the Rod of God in low-Earth orbit to launch a tentative attack on an underwater wormhole near Manila.

The huge waves caused by it killed thousands of people in Manila and forced more than 300,000 people to leave their homes and become displaced, but the underwater wormhole still exists.

Afterwards, the federal spokesperson strongly condemned the damage caused to Manila by the alien race and promised to provide Manila with artificial rescue.

But that’s a story for later.

In order to deal with these underwater wormholes, governments can only mobilize their own country's extraordinary power to deal with these monsters, and on the other hand step up research on these underwater wormholes.

At the same time, we are also preparing to develop the latest targeted weapons to deal with these monsters.

The federal government assigned this task to the respective cooperating arms dealers.

... ... ... .

In Washington, the Federation, on a quiet street, in a building owned by the Tang Group, in a secret reception room, the lights are bright, the fragrance is wafting in the air, and occasionally you can see the corner of a fragrant skirt passing by.

The oval reception room is covered with thick wool carpet.

Surrounding the walls of the reception room is a circle of sofas covered with precious fur. The transparent white bear fur glows faintly with a blue luster under the light, giving the reception room a sense of mystery.

A tall and strong black maid came over silently, pushing a four-wheeled cart filled with collectible handmade cigars and thin cigarettes.

The man sitting on the sofa picked up a cigar with an expressionless face. Immediately, two pretty girls came up and helped the man light the cigar.

The black maid pushed a cart and slowly left the reception room, and a blonde white beauty pushed another cart and walked in.

This time the car was filled with all kinds of fine wines, each of which was a rare commodity worth a fortune. Especially the bottles of wine without labels, with strange shapes and spots of dust on them, were peerless wines of which there were less than a hundred bottles in the entire federation.

The man glanced over the pile of wine bottles and picked one at random.

The white woman pushed the wine cart away, and two pretty girls knelt on the ground and placed a thick-bottomed wine glass made of natural crystal on the small table next to the man.

A young girl took the bottle of wine from the man and gently opened the cork. A scent of wine wafted into the air, and it was obvious that the wine was sober just right.

The deep red wine was poured silently into the glass. The two girls held the glass respectfully in their palms and carefully fed it to the man's mouth.

The man took the wine glass in his hand and waved. The well-behaved girl hurriedly stood up and obediently left the reception room.

The two-foot-thick oak door of the reception room closed silently, and the huge room seemed to be isolated from the entire universe.

With a deft flick of his fingers, a very thin cigarette jumped into his mouth. Lai En lit the cigarette and took a deep breath.

Smoke slowly came out of his nostrils. Ryan lay comfortably on the sofa, looking sideways at the man who was sitting there seriously smoking a cigar.

"Mr. President, what is the matter that has made you call me here so urgently?"

The man, no, it should be, the current president of the Federation, Ao Guanhai, crossed his legs. He glanced at Lai En and shook his head slightly.

"Mr. Lane, I'm not looking for you. I'm looking for your boss. Where's Tang? Why doesn't he come to see me?"

He opened his mouth and blew out three smoke rings in succession. Lai En quietly watched the three smoke rings slowly spread and disappear.

After a long while, he finally smiled.

"Mr. President! Our boss hasn't asked about the company's affairs for a long time. He has some personal matters to deal with and can't get away. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"

Ao Guanhai sneered, exhaled heavily, and glanced at Lai En.

"It seems that Mr. Tang is really arrogant. Even as the president of the Federation, I need to make an appointment to meet him..."

Lai En interrupted Ao Guanhai, swaying his body lightly and saying with a smile:

"Your Excellency the President, you have misunderstood. Our boss does have something to deal with. Are you looking for our boss regarding the political donations for the next election or the votes?"

Hearing Lai En mention votes and political donations! Ao Guanhai's expression suddenly changed. With the current number of Tang Group employees in the federation, its influence can indeed affect the outcome of the next presidential election.

Ao Guanhai understood this and immediately changed his slightly arrogant attitude. He took two puffs of his cigar and told the purpose of his visit.

"Mr. Ryan, I think you should have heard about the underwater wormhole incident. Currently, all countries in the world are troubled by these underwater wormholes. There are two underwater wormholes in our federal waters. If these two wormholes are not resolved as soon as possible, the federal mainland will be threatened!"

It will also affect my future votes, Ao Guanhai added silently in his heart.

"So the purpose of your visit to our boss is to ask him to help you solve these two problems?" Lai En blew a smoke ring, a look of realization on his face.

Ao Guanhai nodded: "As for the handling of wormholes, your Tang Group has experience in this area. The space gate at the Laiang military base was solved by your Tang Group. I think if we use that magical animal skin roll to block the wormhole on the seabed, we should be able to temporarily solve these two problems!"

"Animal skin scroll?" Lai En shook his head, looking embarrassed. "Mr. President, let's not talk about the animal skin scroll being a magical artifact from the dark world. Its manufacturing materials alone are all legendary creatures from hell. How many animal skin scrolls do you think there are? Moreover, the natural environment of the seabed whirlpool is not suitable for animal skin scrolls at all!"

Lai En scoffed at Ao Guanhai's proposal. In the past few days, there were more than just Ao Guanhai who came to him. They all wanted Tang Group to find a way to deal with the space gate.

And Lai En did not lie to Ao Guanhai. After the boss came out of quarantine, he took a few of the boss' wives to travel. Ao Guanhai wanted to find the boss, unless he went to heaven.

Literally, let alone the boss ladies, even if Lai En heard the boss mention the heaven in the Bible, which has now become their territory, he wanted to go with him to take a look.

He had contacted his boss about what was happening on Earth and the mysterious wormholes that appeared on the seafloor, but the reply he got was just three words: "Got it!"

Lai En understood that the boss had no intention of being a babysitter for the earth.

"Mr. President, although the animal skin roll is useless, there is something that I think the federal government should be able to use!"

Seeing Ao Guanhai preparing to leave in disappointment, Lai En put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, took out a document from the file bag beside him and handed it to Ao Guanhai.

Ao Guanhai took the document suspiciously, took a quick look at it, then looked up at Lai En in shock. "Is the stuff in here real?"

Lai En looked at Ao Guanhai's expression with satisfaction and rubbed his palms vigorously.

"This giant spirit exoskeleton armor combines the most advanced technology of our Tang's Arms Company. If it is equipped with a chainsaw made of adamantium alloy, our weapons experts have estimated that one can kill a Kaiju."

Ao Guanhai stood up suddenly and walked around the reception room which was less than five meters long and wide at a very fast speed. He suddenly turned around and stared at Lai En.

"Tell me, what conditions does your Tang Group have, policy support, or tax exemption measures?"

Lai En sat up straight, put his hands on his knees, and said in a very serious tone: "One condition!?"

"What conditions?"

Ao Guanhai asked without hesitation.

"Don't worry, you and I are old friends. This time I just want to ask you to promote a liberal bill!" Lai En smiled.
