One month ago, outer space, Mirage space station. //High-speed update//
The only way to get here from Earth is by a manned spacecraft. Even in the 22nd century of this parallel universe, it is still not easy to send people into space. In the field of aerospace, it may be the only remaining patented technology in the empire.
It is impossible for the resistance organization to develop this kind of technology industry that consumes huge resources and cannot bring much substantial returns when the base area has not yet been stabilized. Even if you don't count the manpower and technology costs, the cost of a space shuttle alone can arm a ground force.
But there is indeed a weapon of great strategic value in space - Genesis.
This thing was also mentioned in the previous article. These three words often appear together with nuclear bombs, because they have one most fundamental thing in common: both are destructive weapons that are recognized as needing to be banned. Generally speaking, it will only be used when facing someone or something that poses a serious threat to the life and civilization of all mankind.
The reason why Zhuge Zhai dared to bring nuclear weapons to Tiandu as a backup plan was because of the particularity of the situation. Today's city is more than just a symbol. At this stage of the war, basically all the nobles and royal families from other counties on the earth have fled here. Of course, it cannot be said that all these people are evil people, but no matter who they are, they will be punished. Commoners hate them all equally.
In the face of great rights and wrongs, great favors and great grievances, personal thoughts and actions are insignificant.
Just like in another parallel universe, the "patriotic youth" of a certain country want to destroy a certain island country all day long. Judging from the current situation, although using nuclear bombs against Tiandu is not a conventional method, it does not necessarily have no supporters. Under the rule of the empire, there are so many netizens clamoring to invade Tiandu all day long, and they should be applauding.
Let’s get back to the subject, let’s talk about these two weapons. The most intuitive difference between the two is naturally reflected in the effect produced when attacking. An example will make this clear: Suppose God exists and he has a big face. Then when a nuclear bomb explodes in his face, he will be extensively disfigured and be affected by radiation all year round; and when he is attacked by Genesis. His entire face would be intact, except for his nose, which would be replaced by a large black hole in a perfect circle.
This is an embarrassing multiple-choice question. Do you want a detonator to explode against your face? I still want to be stabbed vertically in the face with a cylindrical laser sword...
From a strategic point of view, Genesis should be superior to nuclear bombs. Genesis is launched directly from space, and the shock wave of destruction reaches the target area within seconds, leaving almost no time to escape and no means of defense. Even if you can create a directional force field that is strong enough to withstand the power of Genesis, you may not have time to react when the attack arrives, unless someone can tell you in advance when Genesis will be launched, and the time is accurate to the second.
Nuclear bombs seem to be easier to deal with. There is still a chance to intercept the missile while it is flying or being dropped by a transport aircraft. After all, the reconnaissance weapons of this era are relatively strong. The technology of various small unmanned aerial vehicles is also quite mature.
Of course. There is only one Genesis device, and nuclear warheads...it's hard to say how many exist on Earth.
The only Genesis device in the world is equipped on the Mirage space station. This space station is just like its name "Phantom". It should not exist. As a project that generates financial expenditure every year, it does not even have an official number. So it is even less possible to have a complete file.
The Mirage is both a space station and a spaceship. After discarding some parts, it can carry the Genesis device back to Earth. In order to ensure that the location is not discovered. The special refraction force field of this space station can also block 98% of detection methods from the earth. In theory, even the naked eye observation of some people with specific abilities cannot find flaws.
The Phantom is equipped with a total of twelve staff members, including six types of professionals with different professional skills. Each position has a formal executive and a standby alternate. The rotation period of the personnel is from one to three years. wait. The specific cycle and date of the rotation are uncertain, but will generally be informed 48 hours before the rotation. When the replacement on the ground arrives on the space shuttle, the person being replaced must immediately return on the space shuttle.
These twelve people need to undergo psychological testing at least once a week. If there is a mental abnormality, Tiandu will issue orders to other crew members according to the situation. The remaining personnel on the Phantom are obliged to imprison the mentally abnormal person regardless of their functions. or execution.
The Mirage is not a weather satellite, nor is it responsible for scientific research. The mission of the crew here is to maintain the Genesis and... under certain circumstances, execute the order to use the weapon. The only stronghold that can communicate with them is in the palace of Tiandu. A ground team with the highest authorization level of the empire is always supervising the operation of the Phantom. Their job is to ensure that the weapon is in normal condition and that the people staying with it are normal. The crew can be sane and loyal. As for the only person who can issue the order to use Genesis, there is only the emperor.
The whole project seems to be running very smoothly and is foolproof, but...
One day in February, the universe welcomed an uninvited guest.
A can-shaped object the size of a telephone booth broke through the second cosmic speed, flew out of the atmosphere, and approached the orbit of the Phantom. Human beings have been flying into the universe for more than a hundred years. There are a lot of space junk of this size near the earth. So, when this thing approached, the members of the Mirage just followed the usual practice and used the beam weapon outside the space station to smash it into pieces, turning it into a safe collision volume that the space station could withstand... that is, fragments.
They had no idea that this thing was actually a miniature space shuttle, and there was a passenger inside.
The shadows of outer space are as dark as moist black velvet. If a person is surrounded by such darkness, he can fall asleep with his eyes open. It was under the cover of such an environment... A black semi-human figure approached the Phantom and was attached to the surface of the space station. After waiting patiently for several days in the universe, it finally found an opportunity and sneaked into it...
What happened next was almost like a horror movie, "Alien I", "Black Hole Surface", "Black Friday
Anyway, it didn’t take long. The space station was controlled by him. Darkwater plays twelve characters and goes through the psychological test as usual (the test process is for a psychologist on Earth to talk to the twelve crew members one by one at the weekend of every week. The required conversations for each person The duration is usually about ten minutes. So Anshui keeps walking out of the room, changing his appearance, and then going back in...), and maintains some regular communications with the ground (regular communications do not require turning on the video).
It lasted like this for more than half a month. Dark Water didn't reveal any flaws, and Tiandu didn't raise any suspicion at all.
It is obvious that this action has been planned for a long time, whether it is the ability to ride on crude lift equipment or survive in outer space. It is the ability to imitate that only Dark Water, a powerful alien from the Fourth Kingdom, can do. It is precisely because of his existence that the execution of such a task is possible.
Just as the gunsmith said to Tianyi, "You planned everything half a year ago, so you asked the Marshal and I to build 'that'." The "that" here refers to the miniature space shuttle.
Tianyi's requirements are very simple. It doesn't need to be used as something for people to ride on, as long as it can transport about a tank of gunpowder into space. It doesn't matter if we just make a big titanium alloy can.
then. On March 11, when the sun rises in East Zone 11 (time zone), at the designated moment, dark water will cause inevitable destruction to fall from the sky.
… …
It was 4:30 in the morning, when the palace had just caught fire.
King Kong is throwing Samael into the sea. Black Snake is huge, but King Kong's power at this moment is also quite large. He actually tore down the monster flying in the air.
Samael had just focused his attention on Paper Man and was not paying attention for a moment. Unable to withstand the force, he was thrown out of the outer wall on the east side of the floating island and fell into the sea.
But the height of Tiandu was so high that Samael had enough time to adjust in the air. He stopped falling before he touched the sea water. As soon as he got close to the sea surface, the blazing energy on his bone wings was on the water. A large white mist steamed up.
Viewed from a very far distance, the giant shadow of the black snake seemed like a scorpion without pincers and with its body stretched out, slowly swimming up and landing again above the floating island.
Samael increased his height, and as soon as he showed his head, he was attacked head-on by the wind-like shreds of paper. He did not hesitate, he opened the snake's mouth, and the black light exploded. This time, the black light did not spread in a straight line, but turned into countless ghost-like black shadows and flew out randomly.
The huge disadvantage of his ability in physical form made Paper Man's papers quickly defeated. Samael's snake head was protected by those black substances, and behind the snake's body was the blazing flame of bone wings. Paper Man was at a loss for what to do. Hard to get close to.
King Kong was not afraid of this. After drinking double the standard dose of Dou Shen Liquor, he felt power continuously pouring out of his body, and the strength of his steel skin increased even more.
He took a step forward, and his tall body exploded with a speed that was not inferior to that of a mad-level ability user. He jumped high in front of Samael's snake belly, ignoring the oncoming heat energy. He straightened his arms, embedded his fingers into the snake's belly, twisted his palms outward, and tried to tear open the monster on both sides. Belly.
He succeeded, and a section of the black snake's long and narrow abdomen was torn open by him with brute force. But what happened in the next second made King Kong regret it.
After cutting open Samael's snake belly, a pool of black corrosive liquid spewed out directly from it. King Kong was so close that he was naturally hit. Even though he had energy to protect his body, he had to close his eyes quickly. To avoid eyeball damage.
The moment he closed his eyes, a corpse soldier emerged from the snake's belly, jumped onto King Kong's shoulder, and opened his mouth to bite him. The corpse soldier's black teeth were shattered by the hard skin of the adamantium when its jaw was closed, but the corpse soldier didn't know the pain and went crazy. He continued to bite a few times with the broken teeth, and beat him with his sharp claws. Cut, a violent attack. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that it would have been broken into pieces by it, but King Kong could withstand this kind of attack relatively easily.
King Kong didn't even bother to pay attention to this monkey-tickling attack. He just kicked Samael subconsciously and used the force to fly backwards. He closed his eyes and grabbed the man sitting on his shoulder. The corpse soldier on top immediately raised his other arm, shouted loudly, broke the corpse soldier into two pieces, and threw it out.
Wiping his face, there was a hissing sound on his fingers and skin, but King Kong opened his eyes nonchalantly: "What the hell..." He spat and cursed.
As soon as he saw the scene in front of him clearly, King Kong's expression changed. Samael's torn snake belly was like an opened portal, and countless corpse soldiers jumped out one after another.
Those black corpse soldiers basically looked like humans, with their whole bodies covered in black corrosive flesh. Many of them were missing arms and legs, and most of them had sharp teeth and fangs. The faces of the corpse soldiers were not only ferocious, but also showed a kind of extremely twisted pain.
Every time Samael swallows a person, he can create one more such corpse soldier. As long as he is willing, he can create an army with a combat power several times that of ordinary humans, and it will not know fear and move forward bravely. However, the weaknesses of the corpse soldiers are also very obvious. They have no independent thinking ability, and their intelligence is simply not enough to use human technological combat weapons. If Samael does not control them, they can only act based on instinct.
From the time he appeared in the mirror until this moment, King Kong has become more and more desperate as he fights. When they were four on one before, they couldn't hurt the opponent at all. Now they finally managed to hurt them, but they just discovered a new ability of this monster.
"What on earth is this guy? A demon who escaped from hell?" King Kong gritted his teeth and punched away a few corpse soldiers that rushed forward. However, there were too many corpse soldiers and they kept coming. If he continued, he would He's going to be buried in a pile of corpses.
"The flying one is hard to catch, so I'll swallow you first, hiss..." Samael lowered his snake's head and said. After releasing a considerable number of corpse soldiers, his snake belly healed quickly.
How could King Kong sit still and wait for death? Seeing the snake's mouth coming, he quickly shook off the two corpse soldiers biting his arms, kicked a few away with a sweeping kick, quickly turned around and leaped out backwards.
Samael's snake body moved at a speed no slower than his, fluttering its bone wings and causing sparks to scatter. He kept the snake's mouth open and flew forward.
In just a few seconds, King Kong was caught up and about to be swallowed.
Suddenly, a blood shadow flashed, rushing into the black snake's huge mouth from the side at an incredible speed, and then rushed out from the other side, pulling Samael's forked tongue with his hand, and forcibly cut off the snake's head. Pulled and changed the direction. (To be continued...)
