The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 27 027. System overwrite completed
Cheyenne Mountain Military Base is the most heavily defended cave military base in the world.

The base's tunnels are built on a 300-meter-thick granite mountain, and underneath the maze-like command post are huge springs and rubber pads that can withstand direct hits from nuclear warheads.

There is a complete set of three-defense survival systems for 6000 people, which can survive for several months in a nuclear war environment. This place is known as the "nerve center" of the US military.

After the zombie crisis broke out, this place became the most authoritative aviation warning center in North America, missile warning and launch guidance center, and the national space control center.

Precisely because of its importance, two fully armed armored tank battalions, two marine mechanized infantry battalions, and one informationized combat battalion have been stationed here for a long time since the outbreak of the virus.

It has more than 2200 soldiers, more than a hundred tanks, and armored combat personnel carriers.

There are also a large number of mortars, 40mm grenade launchers, and various light and heavy machine guns and other weapons.

No matter how critical the situation in the surrounding cities was, or how much the local officials requested for help, the troops stationed at Cheyenne Mountain Military Base were strictly ordered to remain where they were.

Ensuring the safety of the North American Aerospace Defense Command within the base is their most important mission.

"The gate of the base can only be opened from the inside. That is to say, even if we kill all the two thousand North American soldiers outside the cave base as quickly as possible, we will not be able to enter this 'turtle shell' cave base in a short time."

Under the command of the United Government's Extradimensional Combat Command Transfer Center, the heavy infantry regiment led by Shi Lei trekked for nearly ten hours and finally arrived at the outskirts of the Cheyenne Mountain Military Base, also located in Colorado.

He did not pay attention to the large number of North American soldiers in the distant ground military base, and the armored vehicles and tanks that could be seen everywhere.

However, the gate at the entrance of the cave base, which had been integrated with the granite mountain and could withstand a direct attack from a nuclear warhead, made him frown.

"So we can only outsmart them, we can't just use force."

After some thought, Wang Lei called several special forces soldiers from the US branch.

After some instructions, the electronic warfare drone responsible for regional electromagnetic signal shielding quietly rose above the Cheyenne Mountain base.

Soon after, several special forces soldiers from the US branch, wearing the same uniforms as North American soldiers, appeared outside the ground military base in off-road vehicles marked with the Army's 1st Mechanized Infantry Division.

The North American soldiers stationed at the base could not see any problems with the 3D printed documents and uniforms.

"You said you were sent by General Monk?"

"Yes, we brought General Monk's order, which involves strategic nuclear weapons and must be conveyed personally to the head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command."

"Why didn't our station receive any advance notice?"

The lieutenant colonel who came to contact from the ground military base looked confused.

"I'm sorry, this is military intelligence related to strategic nuclear weapons, sir, your level..."

The special forces soldier from the US branch looked apologetic, and the lieutenant colonel opposite him opened his mouth with an embarrassed look as if he was constipated.

"I need to consult the air defense command."

The lieutenant colonel first picked up the radio communication equipment and tried to contact the North American Aerospace Defense Command in the cave base.

But all I could hear was the rustling white noise of the radio, and I couldn't get through at all.

“This is also an important reason why General Monk sent us to convey the message in person.

The unknown forces that appeared at the Raccoon City ruins carried out a large-scale indiscriminate electromagnetic interference attack on the surrounding areas of Colorado.

In fact, the purpose of our visit this time is to deal with the group of forces near the Raccoon City ruins. . . "

The US branch special forces soldier pointed to the huge aviation safe under his feet.

After listening to the other party's highly suggestive explanation, the lieutenant colonel immediately imagined that what was stored in the aviation safe in front of him was some kind of authorization equipment for strategic-level nuclear weapons.

The lieutenant colonel officer in charge of guarding the North American Aerospace Defense Command naturally heard about the failed air raid not long ago.

A force that can shoot down a squadron of 20 F22 Raptors is indeed worthy of the attention of the North American military. But... Strategic nuclear weapons?!
Shaking his head, the lieutenant colonel didn't think any more about it.

This was a decision made by the top military officials. He was just a small battalion-level officer and had no right to ask about it.

The lieutenant colonel, who had already believed in the enemy, led four special forces from the US branch towards the gate of the cave base.

After the purpose of the US branch special forces was conveyed through wired communication across the gate that could withstand a direct attack from a nuclear warhead, the cave base slowly opened a small door for personnel to pass through.

"Everyone, for safety reasons, please hand in your personal weapons."

Hearing this, the four special forces soldiers of the US branch had no objection and readily handed over all their firearms and weapons, even military daggers.

Such cooperative behavior finally dispelled the last bit of worry of the lieutenant colonel.

He just watched as the four people obediently entered the Cheyenne Mountain Base, accompanied by the guards inside the cave base.

“Why is that cart so weird?
Looks like a... door frame?"

The lieutenant colonel stared at the "trolley" that the four men used to push the aviation safe, complained a few words, and then turned and left.

Inside the cave base passage, as many as twenty fully armed internal guards accompanied four US branch special forces soldiers.

It is said to be accompanying, but in fact it is surveillance.

The guards had their submachine guns' safety unlocked, and in their eyes, the four unarmed special forces soldiers from the US branch posed no threat at all.

Soon, the group pushed the aviation safe to the North American Aerospace Defense Command headquarters in the cave base.

“I am Major General Joseph, the head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command.

What message did General Monk ask you to convey?"

Joseph waved his hand, signaling the guards who were seeing each other off to leave, leaving only two personal guards.

His question went unanswered.

Two US special forces opened the aviation safe on their own, revealing the intelligent quantum computer inside.

"Major General Joseph, is this the command center of the North American Aerospace Defense Command?"

Before Major General Joseph, who looked puzzled, could speak, a US special forces soldier asked the first question.

"Yes, that's right. What is this thing you brought?"

While Joseph was asking questions, the US special forces soldier plugged the data cable of the intelligent quantum computer into the interface of a computer in the command center.

Almost at the moment when the intelligent quantum computer was connected to the computer equipment of the North American Aerospace Defense Command command center.

On the big screen at the command center, a “waterfall” of green codes began to refresh frantically.

There is also a text prompt in the center of the "waterfall". If there is someone present who understands simplified Chinese, they will know that the prompt means [The system has been overwritten and artificial intelligence will soon take over the operation].

"What the hell did you do?!"

Joseph immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly ordered the guards to shoot and subdue the enemy.

However, the "trolley" that they had been ignoring suddenly stood up like a "door frame spirit" and fired two electric shocks at the two guards until they fell to the ground twitching and foaming at the mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the security door of the command center was closed under the control of the intelligent quantum computer, blocking the guards inside the base who had rushed to the scene after hearing the news.

The gate of the cave base also began to open slowly.
