The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 210 209. Flesh and Blood Weakness

Not long after, the ballistic missile launch warning alarm sounded in the forward base.

[Attention, ground armed forces have been detected on the way, 135 kilometers northeast, and are expected to arrive at the strike range of the forward base's outer near-field defense facilities in 1 hour and 28 minutes.]

[The medium-range ballistic missile defense system has been activated, and the guided drone cluster has arrived at the target area and can carry out strategic strikes at any time...]

Just after Optimus Prime confirmed the attack as the commander of the forward base.

The hatches of hundreds of launch silos buried underground in the base were opened, revealing the "ferocious" medium-range strategic missile warheads hidden inside.

In order to maximize the defense of the forward base, nearly one-third of the tens of thousands of intact nuclear warheads accumulated by countries in the Pacific Rim since the end of World War II have been transferred to the forward base.

On the home planet of this "alien war criminal", the United Government has no scruples.

This most powerful weapon of destruction ever created by humans in the Pacific Rim finally had the opportunity to show its power.

The first batch of 84 medium-power nuclear bombs with a TNT equivalent of 10 to 100 million tons were quickly launched into the air, carried by medium- and short-range ballistic missiles.

The sky of the Pioneer home planet appears a sickly "bright purple" color.

If the United Nations government's meteorological science experts saw this, they would definitely explain that it was a "lesion" caused by the long-term severe pollution of the atmosphere.

But obviously, at this moment in the forward base, no one cares about the weather problems on this alien planet.

84 ballistic missiles streaked across the sky, leaving behind long white flames.

In a flash, they arrived above the Pioneer biological armed army that was on the way.

Klein is the military leader of the administrative district next to Mo Du, and is directly under the Pioneer Cardinal Opportunity Elders Council.

As soon as it received the order, it mobilized all the idle military forces in the four surrounding administrative districts and rushed towards the "rebellious area".

Like Mo Du, Klein was also a "hot candidate for the Cardinal Council of Elders" nominated by his district.

The moment it received the order from the Elders, it thought that Mo Du was unwilling to be demoted, so he launched a rebellion.

The poor Cardinal Elder didn't even have the chance to reveal the details before he was forced to commit suicide on the spot by the sudden advance troops of the United Government.

Although the pioneers have mastered powerful cloning gene biotechnology.

However, this method of communication that relies on the vibration of the fleshy membrane on the head is still somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of the density, timeliness and accuracy of conveying information.

So when Klein and the biological armed army he led discovered the rapidly approaching swarm of ballistic missiles, their first reaction was confusion.

This military weapon, which is unique to human civilization on Earth, is very unfamiliar in the eyes of other pioneers outside the Modu Administrative Region.

To be on the safe side, Klein ordered the army to stop its operations and be on guard against the approaching ballistic missiles.

Hundreds of Kaiju beasts of various levels bared their fangs and claws towards the sky, trying to create psychological pressure on the enemies in the air through intimidation.

Hundreds and thousands of flying war beasts of various sizes, under the orders of various middle-level commanders, launched a charge towards the direction of the incoming ballistic missile cluster.

Their behavior was considered by the Pioneer mid-level commanders as a display of bravery towards Klein.

The two armies were facing each other, and Klein would not give in, nor could he give in.

On the colonized planets it was responsible for conquering, it never feared direct attacks from indigenous creatures.

What's more, this time they were facing an attack from just 84 "flying creatures".

Klein must demonstrate his worth in this battle in order to win the favor of the Elders of the Cardinal Council.

I was thinking about the wonderful prospect of being promoted to the Council of Elders in the future, or taking control of multiple pioneer administrative districts and reaching the "peak of life".

The first ballistic missile had already flown less than a thousand meters above Klein's army.

In an instant, an extremely dazzling light instantly lit up the entire sky, as if millions of suns bloomed at the same time, the light was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Immediately afterwards, a huge fireball expanded rapidly with a devastating force, and the scorching heat instantly ignited the surrounding air, forming a raging sea of ​​​​fire.

The edge of the fireball showed brilliant and strange colors, like dreamy purple, orange and blue intertwined, as if it was a picture of doomsday.

With a deafening roar, a powerful shock wave roared in all directions with the nuclear bomb as the center. Wherever it passed, the clouds were instantly torn apart, and the howling wind swept everything.

Klein's army, which was less than a kilometer away from the center of the explosion, was almost instantly engulfed by the light ball and shock wave. Then came the second ballistic missile, the third, the fourth...

After precise calculations by artificial intelligence, the detonation time of the nuclear warhead mounted on each ballistic missile is set differently.

Ensure that their power can maximize the killing of the Forerunners' military forces.

The Kaiju beast, which was originally roaring towards the sky and waving its claws, was blinded by the sudden burst of light.

As soon as I closed my stinging eyes, I felt an indescribable burning sensation on the surface of my skin.

Many level one and level two Kaiju were unable to even stand in the violent shock wave and were knocked to the ground.

After the deafening roars disappeared, huge mushroom clouds slowly rose up and reached the sky.

At the bottom of the mushroom cloud was billowing smoke and flames, while at the top it gradually spread, covering the sky and shrouding the entire sky in darkness and terror.

84 medium-sized nuclear warheads with a TNT equivalent of 10 to 100 million tons were detonated in the same area.

There were even multiple pits on the ground with diameters of hundreds of meters and depths of tens of meters.

Klein's army, which had almost covered the entire ground, had now almost lost all traces of their existence.

Only a dozen or so level 4 and level 5 Kaiju that focused on defense survived.

But at this moment they were all paralyzed on the ground, with marks of severe burns all over their bodies. They were seriously injured and on the verge of death, and might lose the ability to struggle in the next second.

The radioactive material produced by the nuclear explosion quickly spreads to the surrounding airspace along with the shock wave.

Even the forward base more than a hundred kilometers away had to initiate relevant biological and chemical protection measures.

After the reconnaissance drone sent back images of the explosion site, the second nuclear weapons cluster strike originally planned was canceled.

The area where Klein's army is located has temporarily become a true life restricted zone.

The electromagnetic interference caused by excessive nuclear explosions means that even purely mechanical equipment such as drones cannot approach that area for a short period of time.

However, surprisingly, the Kaiju alien life form does not seem to be affected by the "aftermath of the nuclear explosion."

Driven by biological pheromones, hundreds of "giant alien" larvae came to the battlefield where a nuclear explosion had just occurred, rushed towards the seriously injured and dying Kaiju on the battlefield, and began to feast on them.

Although Kaiju was hit by a nuclear explosion at close range, it would be more or less contaminated by radiation.

But it has to be said that the appetite of the young "Giant Alien" is so good that it will accept even "radiated food".

This "forbidden zone of life" after the nuclear explosion unexpectedly became a hotbed for the "giant alien" to eat, lay eggs, and hatch.

It was the first large-scale battle after the United Government entered the Pioneer home planet.

The coalition government is very satisfied with the current results.

Any problem that can be solved with military equipment is not a problem.

The four subordinate planes of the United Government, plus the Pacific Rim's surging nuclear weapons production capacity, are enough for the vanguard to thoroughly "plow" the Pioneer home planet from beginning to end.

But Dr. Ashford, a leading figure in the biological sciences, complained that the advance team's actions were too hasty.

It is suggested that the "giant aliens" should be allowed to perform as they should as soon as possible.

Although the nuclear bomb explosion eliminated the enemy, it also resulted in the loss of a large amount of precious "flesh and blood resources" for no reason.

Dr Ashford insisted that the coalition government should pay more attention to the "giant alien" being studied by the Tianyuan 4A Planet Biological Science Academy.

He also said that the method of simply using "big ships and cannons", gunpowder, lasers, and nuclear weapons to deal with large-scale wars is completely outdated.

"Giant Alien" is the real way out for the United Government to wage large-scale civilization wars and dimensional wars in the future.

Provide more "blood food" to promote the hatching and reproduction of "giant aliens" on the mother planet of the pioneer civilization.

Breed them into a large-scale "army of biological war machines" as soon as possible.

This means far more to the coalition government than dropping a few nuclear bombs.
