Chapter 111 Gods, Times Have Changed! The Sun Detonated by Humanity! Blood Sacrifice
Chapter 111 Gods, the times have changed! The sun ignited by humanity! Blood Sacrifice (Five in One)
Li Weiguo watched as various supplies were transported to and from the area!
A small milk tea straw, made from petroleum, has to go through dozens of complicated processes before it reaches the consumer.
A single military weapon represents the full-scale operation of the entire national industrial system.
From the mining and smelting of ores to the synthesis of primary materials, and then to the precise assembly of countless parts, they can ultimately be transformed into a sharp sword to defend the homeland.
When news came that the expeditionary force from another world was caught in a double attack by the undead scourge and the forest beast tide, Li Weiguo did not hesitate and immediately mobilized two combined arms brigades to enter the other world.
Also on the trip were a massive quantity of high-powered special munitions.
The unique high-altitude environment of this other world renders ballistic missiles unusable; instead, supersonic cruise missiles equipped with "Truth" warheads are used.
In addition, napalm bombs produced in emergency, white phosphorus bombs with limited stock but outstanding effects, and large quantities of thermite incendiary bombs were all sent to the portal like a flowing stream.
There is even a batch of new chemical weapons specifically designed to target extraterrestrial beings, which can evaporate in the air.
As the latest batch of napalm and thermite bombs were transported through that giant door, Li Weiguo's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.
"With these things, the pressure on the front lines should be much less."
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to his office, his assistant, Xiao Wang, came running over, a hint of excitement on his face.
"General Li, a batch of 'heartless cannons' that were rushed out by the artillery institute have been loaded onto the trucks and will arrive in half an hour!"
Li Weiguo was somewhat surprised: "So fast?"
Xiao Wang nodded with a smile: "Yes! This batch of cannons has a short range and is only for emergency use. The engineers at the artillery institute optimized the design overnight, directly thickening the cannon barrel, and even said that this was an offense to the brand-new shell technology."
Upon hearing this, Li Weiguo couldn't help but laugh: "Usefulness and ease of use are the only important things! Forget about offending anyone, if we win the battle, then whatever you say is right!"
He simply abandoned the idea of going back to deal with the documents and stood there, waiting to see for himself those "big guys" tailor-made for another world.
Half an hour later, six heavy trucks slowly drove up, carrying the main character of this time—"Heartless Cannon".
Looking at the cannon barrel, which had an outer diameter of half a meter and an astonishing inner diameter of 400 millimeters, Li Weiguo's smile deepened.
"How far does this thing have? Don't let one shot wipe out our own people."
"Don't worry, General Li," a technician immediately stepped forward to report, "The 400mm caliber 'Heartless Cannon' is designed strictly according to the close-in fire support requirements put forward by the front line. With a minimum range of 1.5 kilometers and a maximum range of 15 kilometers, it perfectly fills the gap in our precision coverage firepower between 2 and 15 kilometers. It is absolutely a super weapon in positional defense warfare!"
This thing was prepared for the Scourge.
The commander and all the soldiers brainstormed together, pooling their collective wisdom to discuss various attack tactics that the enemy might launch against them.
In severe weather conditions such as blizzards, drones cannot take off for reconnaissance, resulting in a very high casualty rate for lone reconnaissance soldiers, and significantly reducing the effectiveness of long-range precision-guided weapons. If the undead army were to get close, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, this weapon proposal, capable of unleashing terrifying firepower at close range, was submitted swiftly and approved with the highest priority.
The "You're Ruthless" 400mm cannon, which lacks any conscience, was born.
The 400mm caliber was chosen because the military's existing rocket production line uses this caliber, saving a significant amount of design time. Simply thickening and reinforcing the launching device allows it to be used as a close-range heavy artillery piece.
If they had more time, those engineers, who were suffering from a severe case of insufficient firepower, might even have considered converting 610mm or even 750mm rocket launchers into this thing.
The cannon's barrel is only 4.2 meters long, and the short barrel design ensures mobility.
The shells it fires weigh 0.9 tons and have an internal explosive charge of up to 500 kilograms!
Once fired, nothing grows within a 250-meter radius.
Most importantly, it's cheap!
The "Fire Dragon" 400mm rocket costs one million yuan to produce. This bulky and heavy artillery shell costs only 15 times more than a 155mm howitzer shell. After the artillery research institute made a profit, the price of a single rocket was only about 4.5 yuan.
If this thing were used on a modern battlefield, it would be useless.
But it's a perfect match for dealing with densely packed, undead creatures that don't know how to lie down and avoid danger.
The shockwave from a single artillery shell can tear a skeleton within a 100-meter radius into dust.
Only those bones that are more than 150 meters away are likely to have a few intact ones left.
If we were to equip it with thermobaric bombs, terminally guided munitions, and incendiary bombs...
How do you defend against the undead scourge?
Li Weiguo became more and more satisfied as he listened. He patted the cold cannon barrel, as if he could already see the undead army being reduced to ashes under the cannon fire.
-
While Zhurihe City was busy dealing with the undead calamity and beast tide invasion from another world, the atmosphere was completely different in an office building thousands of miles away.
Peter shook the thermos in his hand. The thermos contained freshly brewed milk tea, a specialty of the East, and its rich aroma filled the small monitoring room.
He leaned back lazily in his chair, his gaze sweeping over rows of screens flashing data.
"The speed at which Easterners build infrastructure is unbelievable; today's freight volume has broken records again."
He smacked his lips, as if savoring the madness behind the data.
On the screen, a line of heavy trucks was driving towards the newly built city, a truly spectacular sight!
Peter then adjusted some of the satellite surveillance video feeds.
With a spy satellite capable of detecting objects up to the centimeter level, he could easily see the enemy's composite equipment.
"They're all so rich, yet they're so frugal. Their maintenance of equipment is excessive; it goes straight to the factory for major repairs right after the exercise."
"Tsk tsk... If our logistics soldiers saw this, they'd probably draw their swords on the spot and give their commander a special Iaijutsu cut."
Peter took a sip of his milk tea, and was about to compare it with other surveillance images when suddenly a beeping sound rang out.
The crisp ringing of the bell signals the change of shifts.
Peter perked up, downed the last sip of milk tea in his cup, and let out a satisfied burp.
He stood up, stretched, and began organizing the files on his desk.
John, the colleague taking over the shift, yawned and plopped down in the chair next to me. "Hey buddy, anything new today?"
“Everything’s normal, calm and peaceful.” Peter shrugged and replied with a smile, “Apart from their infrastructure capabilities being as insane as ever, nothing special.”
"Haha, who knows? Maybe after this is over, we can apply to go there for a trip?" John laughed as well, skillfully operating the control panel, pulling up several data sets to compare and confirm if there were any anomalies.
"A trip? You'd better hurry up and book this." Peter lowered his voice and leaned closer, saying mysteriously, "I heard our boss went there recently and even ate authentic Oriental steak! Apparently, it was delicious..."
John's eyes lit up: "Really? Didn't they say their steaks aren't good quality?"
"Please, you'd be better off believing your boyfriend didn't cheat on you than believing what the media says." Peter spread his hands.
"The task is assigned to you. Find out what they're up to. I have a feeling the Easterners are brewing some big move again."
He picked up his coat and thermos, ready to leave.
"Don't worry." John's gaze fell on the large truck he liked in the satellite video. "I'll let you know immediately if anything happens. Go on, enjoy your vacation, and think about your travel itinerary in the East."
Peter smiled, waved, and turned to leave the monitoring room.
-
In another world, various supplies are being urgently transported to their destination.
As Su Mingjin issued the battle order, the entire camp seemed to awaken instantly, like a sleeping giant beast.
The alarms began to blare throughout the sky!
In the spacetime portal area, large quantities of newly transported equipment headed towards the positions that had already been set up.
The heavy weapons positions on the outskirts of the camp, which were usually disguised as simple snow shelters, suddenly opened with a roar.
One after another, menacing anti-aircraft missile vehicles and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were towed out, their muzzles pointing directly at the dark sky.
Large quantities of equipment, resembling giant loudspeakers, were pulled out.
That was their prototype weapon!
Deeper inside, several transport vehicles carrying weapons of truth were towed to designated locations, and several metal pillars slowly rose into the air, beginning to adjust their firing angles according to data shared by the command center.
The entire command post and all operational departments of the armed forces were operating efficiently.
Soon, all kinds of shells were launched in succession!
Throughout the camp, the roar of heavy artillery and rocket launchers blended together, shaking the heavens and the earth.
A warehouse containing various important otherworldly materials is located several kilometers away.
Deng Dakang adjusted the oddly shaped, pot-lid-like universal electromagnetic signal shield on his head, his eyes behind his glasses fixed on Xiao Zhou's movements.
Under the guidance of a Taoist priest, Xiao Zhou held his breath and focused his mind. With the last stroke, a brand new talisman was completed.
He carefully affixed the talisman to a box of undead corpses that had been collected separately.
The warehouse was so quiet that only the sound of everyone breathing could be heard.
Seconds later, the yellow talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, emitting a wisp of blue smoke. Then, the entire box of pale white bones also burst into flames.
However, this time the flames had an eerie emerald green color, somewhat different from the previous white-to-crimson hue.
"It's done! Hahaha, it really is done! But why has the color turned green? Could it be due to the concentration of magic particles?"
Deng Dakang slapped his thigh and laughed excitedly.
The shield above his head wobbled as he made his exaggerated movements, making a soft clanging sound.
Although this thing is ugly and bulky, its effectiveness is undeniable.
He and some others speculated that the mind-interference magic of another world was a special reaction resulting from the resonance of some kind of electromagnetic field with the human brainwave signals. Having watched X-Men, he came up with the idea of creating a shielding helmet.
Since I started wearing it, the mental disturbances and hallucinations that used to bother me have decreased significantly.
The two Taoist priests beside him were also very happy at this moment.
They didn't notice Deng Dakang's self-satisfaction.
They looked at the charred remains in the basin, then turned their gaze to Wang Hu beside them, their eyes full of approval.
"Master Wang is truly a genius. In just two days, he has already mastered the art of talismans."
Being praised like that by his senior, Wang Hu became embarrassed, his cheeks flushed red, and he scratched his head, unsure of what to say.
Just as the academic and metaphysical atmospheres blended harmoniously, the warehouse door was suddenly pushed open, and several fully armed soldiers rushed in, bringing with them a gust of cold wind.
"Professor Deng! You two Taoist priests! Evacuate immediately! These things can be controlled and resurrected by necromancers!"
Deng Dakang was taken aback, but instead of being afraid, his eyes behind his glasses shone with an alarming light: "So you really can be resurrected! Where did you get this information from?"
"It's a message from command. They say the undead have sworn they can remotely control these bone fragments to reassemble and attach themselves! We must immediately incinerate all the stockpiles!" The soldier's tone was urgent and left no room for argument.
"Excellent! Excellent! This explains our previous doubts! No wonder we found magical particles on these corpses, and why they dissipated so slowly. It turns out that the magical factors that can resurrect the dead don't dissipate immediately!"
Deng Dakang's smile was even brighter than before.
"Young comrade, I need some materials in a moment. Don't worry, I'll not only lock them up in a special cage, but I'll also grind some of the remains into powder. Absolutely foolproof!"
The soldier thought for a moment, then asked his superior for instructions.
Soon, they agreed to Deng Dakang's request.
"...Okay, but your safety must be guaranteed!"
"I have Wang Hu and the others to protect me!"
Soon, piles of undead materials, resembling small mountains, were gathered on the open ground by forklifts, doused with large amounts of gasoline, and a pungent odor filled the air.
Seeing a soldier raise the igniter, Deng Dakang rushed forward once again.
"Stop! Stop right there!"
The soldier was almost exasperated by him: "Professor, what's wrong with you now?"
"Don't rush to waste gasoline!" Deng Dakang pointed to the Taoist priest next to him. "I want the Taoist priests to try again and see if these exorcising talismans can be used in small batches to trigger a large-scale burning!"
"Professor, we only have one minute. After one minute, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we must ignite it!"
“That’s enough! One minute is enough!” Deng Dakang nodded repeatedly.
Master Chen and Wang Hu exchanged a glance, then immediately took out several of their most powerful talismans, strode forward, and haphazardly stuffed them into several corners of the pile of bones.
Everyone held their breath.
One second, two seconds...
Suddenly, a talisman exploded into a burst of sparks, and then, as if igniting some unseen fuse, it seemed to ignite something.
The reddish-green flames spread rapidly along the pile of bones, leaping from one skull to another arm bone. In the blink of an eye, the entire mountain of bones transformed into a blazing torch.
"There is indeed some kind of special fluctuation! It works! This definitely involves some kind of special magical particle resonance conduction or some special quantum entanglement reaction that we have not yet understood!"
Deng Dakang was so excited that he practically jumped up and down to get a closer look.
He was basking in the ecstasy of the fusion of science and metaphysics when a siren, sharper and more piercing than the sound of artillery fire, suddenly blared throughout the entire camp.
Woo——woo——
The expressions on everyone's faces changed instantly.
A piercing alarm ripped through the sky, like the scream of death, stabbing into the eardrums of everyone present.
"Is that an air raid siren?" Deng Dakang was stunned, his ecstatic joy freezing on his face.
"Quick! Air raid shelter! Everyone, quick!" A soldier reacted swiftly, grabbing the still-dazed Deng Dakang and dragging him out like a sack of potatoes.
Wang Hu and the two Taoist priests also snapped out of their daze and followed the crowd toward the nearest underground shelter.
In the chaos, Deng Dakang tried to turn back for one last look at the burning mountain of bones, but his head was firmly held down by the soldiers.
"Professor! Now is not the time for research!"
"I'll just take one look! Just one look! This phenomenon of magical particle resonance is very rare..."
"Look, the enemy is coming!"
The heavy metal door closed behind them, shutting out most of the howling noise from outside.
Inside the bunker, everyone was still in shock, except for Deng Dakang, who was still lamenting the missed opportunity to obtain firsthand observation data.
As the air raid sirens sounded, the camp had transformed into a highly efficient war machine.
Chemical dispensers, missile launchers, drone arrays, high-power lasers, and even Phalanx CIWS specifically designed to counter flying units—all weapon systems have been activated.
But what first pierced the sky was humanity's final answer to this cataclysmic disaster.
The atmosphere inside the command post was tense and tense.
On the massive tactical screen, the Super Blizzard, representing the main force of the undead, moved slowly and steadily toward the base like an ugly, blackish-gray sore.
At this very moment, the nearest undead scourge is 200 kilometers away from them.
"Target locked, coordinates 244.781.990."
"Truth One, launch authorization has been confirmed."
"Countdown."
"three."
"two."
"one."
"emission!"
With a muffled roar, a Changjian-10 cruise missile, carrying a Truth warhead and trailing a crimson tail flame, tore through the clouds and resolutely shot into the distance.
Its flight attitude does not pursue extreme high speed, but rather uses a near-perfect cruising mode to rapidly glide towards the death zone two hundred kilometers away, taking advantage of the complex high-altitude airflow of the other world.
Inside the command center, everyone held their breath, staring at the green dot representing the missile on the screen.
No one speaks.
This has transcended the scope of conventional warfare; it is a dialogue between modern technological civilization and magical natural disasters.
When the spot of light reached a range of five kilometers from the target area, the operator calmly reported: "Warhead separation procedure initiated."
On the screen, the green light spot splits into three and spreads out in a pre-set triangular array.
next second.
The entire command center and all the screens were instantly engulfed by a blinding pure white light.
"boom--!!!"
No sound came from it, but everyone seemed to hear the earth-shattering roar.
Seconds later, the backup line was connected, and the Wing Loong UAV deployed 80 kilometers away transmitted the recorded footage back.
Three terrifying, blazing white fireballs, each over 800 meters in diameter, rose from the ground and merged into a sea of light.
The billions of degrees of heat they released instantly evaporated and vaporized everything inside the raging blizzard.
The hidden army of undead, ice spider knights, undead giants... everything was wiped out by this absolute truth.
That area seemed to have been erased from the map by a god with an eraser.
The footage transmitted by the drone shook violently, with the aftershocks of the electromagnetic pulse interrupting the signal several times, but it eventually stabilized, faithfully presenting this miraculous scene of destruction to its creator.
"Three 80,000-ton yields are that powerful? That's really... spectacular." A young technician muttered to himself unconsciously, then immediately shut his mouth.
No one laughed at him.
Because everyone was awestruck by the immense power created by humankind for the first time.
Commander Man clenched his fist excitedly: "Yes, that's the taste, that's the taste!"
After a long while, Su Sumingjin finally spoke, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement.
"Explosion and damage data."
"Report! The actual power of the Truth Weapon exceeds the theoretical value by 15 percent! The fireball's range and kill radius have both increased! A 2-kilometer radius is absolutely lethal. The electromagnetic shock has been effectively weakened by the atmosphere, and our positions and equipment have not been affected!"
“Very good.” Su Mingjin shifted her gaze from the three mounds of rubble to the standby indicator lights of the other weapon systems. Her eyes sharpened considerably.
"Let's unleash a saturation attack!"
After the order to clean up the ground was given, the war machine was started again.
"understand!"
The operator's fingers flew across the console, and new commands flowed out.
Outside the camp, the two missile launchers that had been set up long ago, as well as the launcher that had just launched a cruise missile, quickly adjusted their launch parameters.
Eight brand-new CJ-10 cruise missiles, equipped with the same "Truth" warheads, completed their final self-checks within seconds.
"Second wave, ready!"
"emission!"
There was no countdown, no hesitation.
Eight crimson trails of flame tore through the sky, which had just become clear due to the explosion, and rushed towards the dissipating undead storm two hundred kilometers away in an unstoppable battle formation.
Inside the command center, no one was surprised by what was about to happen; instead, there was a numb sense of awe.
On the tactical screen, eight high-speed flying dots arrived at the designated airspace, and then these dots precisely split into three.
Eight becomes twenty-four, smaller points of light, faster speed, and with a perfect interval of four kilometers, they stretch out a death line across nearly a hundred kilometers on the map.
The next second, the screen was once again completely engulfed by pure white light.
This time, the backup line switched over much faster, and the drones that had escaped further away didn't even show any noticeable shaking.
When the scene returned, the sky in the far north had completely changed color.
The super blizzard that had raged for several days, along with any remaining undead within it, was completely purified by the light chain composed of twenty-four small suns.
The blizzard didn't even leave a trace of dark clouds.
As the snowstorm subsided, a large number of fragmented undead corpses that were not at the epicenter of the explosion were revealed.
In the epicenter of the explosion, more than twenty giant vitrified craters, each nearly a kilometer in diameter, crisscrossed each other. The scorched earth still radiated astonishing heat, silently proclaiming the horrific event that had just occurred there.
The weapon of truth—how terrifying!
Lin Li, viewed from God's perspective, witnessed firsthand what could be described as divine punishment for humanity.
He opened his mouth, his throat seemingly dry: "A weapon of truth! It's fucking terrifying..."
This is no longer a weapon; it is authority, authority that humanity has stolen from the sun, authority that comes from the Creator.
A temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius is enough to burn all the rules of the material world to ashes.
Whether you're an undead scourge or a frost behemoth, before this absolute power, all beings are equal and treated equally.
After the initial感慨 (feeling of regret/reflection), a strange sense of regret welled up inside me.
"Only twenty-seven shots? That's too few, not enough to satisfy! I wish I could take one myself!"
The thought startled him.
When did I become so heartless and insane?
Watching nuclear explosions is like watching fireworks, and you still think it's not enough? You actually want to do it yourself?
But after thinking about it, he felt relieved again.
"We'll do it again when we have the chance!"
Since the monsters being blown up are from another world, the more the better, and the bigger the better.
If conditions allowed, he would love to personally release Tsar Beast and give this far northern land a complete physical release.
Unfortunately, a weapon of this magnitude is the optimal solution calculated with precision.
An 80,000-ton warhead is powerful enough to clear the area, and the residual radiation is relatively controllable.
Based on previously obtained meteorological data, the monsoon here will blow steadily towards the uninhabited areas further north for a long time to come, without affecting the base camp 200 kilometers away.
In five years, at most five years, the radiation here will dissipate below the safe level.
At that time, this land, plowed by truth, will be just the right place for humanity to set up a base for exploration.
Thinking of this, Lin Li couldn't help but chuckle.
This plan is so clever that even the gods in some distant otherworld would be scrambling to embroider red flags overnight.
"I wonder what expressions those two extraordinary beings hiding behind the scenes have now when they see such a powerful weapon?"
Lin Li stroked his chin, almost able to imagine the other party's exasperated yet powerless expression.
You painstakingly built up an army of undead over thousands of years, and I just raised my hand and fired twenty-seven "Truth" spells at you.
Surprised? Unexpected?
This feeling is even more exhilarating than leveling up by fighting monsters yourself.
-
Command center!
"Report! Energy signal in the target area has been cleared! The target appears to have been completely eliminated!"
"Surface meteorological monitoring shows that the wind force is rapidly decreasing from level six, and visibility is recovering!"
"Report: The high-intensity electromagnetic interference has decreased by one level!"
Inside the command center, the oppressive atmosphere was finally broken by a low cheer.
"Good job!"
Commander Man punched his own palm, his face full of undisguised smiles.
"Now we can finally free up our hands to deal with those blind bastards in the south!"
All eyes turned to the other end of the tactical screen, following Commander Man's words.
There, a red arrow, representing another powerful force, is stirring.
"Then let's get started."
Su Mingjin's voice was calm and unwavering, as if she wasn't the one who had just ordered the leveling of nearly a hundred kilometers of land by the natural disaster of the dead.
She pointed to the threat from the south, saying, "Give them a gift, just use Plan Three."
"Option Three?" The technician paused for a moment, then quickly realized, "Understood! Prepare to launch the warhead!"
The command was executed swiftly.
Another CJ-10 missile was launched, but its target was no longer the northern no-man's land; instead, it turned towards the southern forest more than 100 kilometers away.
There, countless beasts exuding a ferocious aura were gathering, stretching as far as the eye could see, like an ocean.
The missile carries a neutron bomb, a third-generation nuclear weapon developed by mankind specifically to deal with flesh-and-blood creatures.
Its explosive yield is only 10,000 tons, and the shock and thermal radiation produced are deliberately weakened, but it will release a massive flow of high-energy neutrons. This weapon will not cause damage to buildings or other structures; its primary cause is radiation damage.
The missile did not fly directly into the airspace above the beast tide, but detonated at an altitude of 200 meters, three kilometers away from the vanguard of the beast tide.
The location was precisely calculated; behind the explosion point were continuous mountain ranges, which acted as a shield, preventing the deadly neutron radiation from sweeping towards the human base behind.
Amidst the beast tide, some highly intelligent wild animals seemed to have spotted the weapons approaching from the sky, and they all raised their heads.
Then, a much smaller sun suddenly appeared on the horizon and shone brightly.
Immediately afterwards, an invisible warm current swept across the earth.
There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any raging flames that consumed everything.
The monsters at the forefront of the beast tide only felt their bodies suddenly become scorching hot, as if they had been thrown into a furnace.
Besides the burning sensation, there was also a tearing pain!
Immediately afterwards, a feeling of weakness originating from the deepest part of my being swept over my entire body.
The discomfort brought many of the mind-controlled beasts back to their senses.
One, two, hundreds, thousands...
Seeing the various different creatures around them, a huge panic spread among the herbivores.
They don't understand why they're here.
The various predators and prey, along with the scent of dangerous animals, drove these beasts into a frenzy.
A winged, serpentine snake, eight meters long, was frantically fleeing.
But a griffin nearby let out a strange cry, spread its wings and took flight, grabbing the flying snake and killing it!
A gift specifically designed for flesh and blood, yet preserving the environment and facilities to the greatest extent possible, precisely striking the beast tide where it was most vulnerable.
The beast horde controllers went out of control on a large scale because of this neutron weapon.
Moreover, this change was gradually escalating, eventually turning into a chain reaction of collapse!
Some of the highly intelligent animal herds fled in disarray. However, other groups, such as reindeer, wild horses, and rammed monkeys, continued their journey towards the human camp!
Human Command Center.
"The weapon's power is effective, but the enemy doesn't seem to be completely out of control!"
"Prepare to release cluster bombs and napalm to clear out the beast horde. What about the birds?"
"Report: Bird flocks in the southern airspace are flying erratically, with approximately two-tenths of the birds fleeing quickly."
The drone operator's voice broke the brief silence.
"However, these birds are rushing over at full speed. Their numbers are enormous, almost incalculable!"
In one corner of the screen, a separate window was instantly enlarged.
Countless red dots rose from the sky above the forest, converging into a torrent that blotted out the sun, its scale no less than the beast tide on the ground.
"Heh, coordinated air-ground attack, you're quite the attacking expert!"
Su Mingjin's tone was completely calm, as if she were commenting on a drill that had nothing to do with her.
She raised her hand and pointed to the surging red: "I think that after our army's persuasion weapons were delivered to the other side, they were too ungrateful. It's time for the air defense forces to conduct target practice."
"Airspace Sweeper Program Implementation"
"It's time to let those guys know what the Industrial Age is, and that their era is coming to an end."
"understand!"
Upon receiving the order, the artillery positions, which had been waiting in advance, immediately sprang into action.
Twenty-four Type 81 122mm rocket launcher vehicles are ready.
These veterans, who had served since the last century, now raised their menacing cannon barrels.
The next second, a sharp whistling sound tore through the air.
Twenty-four rocket launcher vehicles, firing in three rapid bursts, unleashed 960 rockets into the sky in less than thirty seconds.
There was no spectacular explosion, no dazzling flames.
The rocket exploded rapidly after reaching its predetermined altitude of 1,200 meters, releasing a large cloud of silvery-gray mist.
The fog quickly merged with the wind and snow, forming a deadly curtain in the air that stretched for ten kilometers and was almost invisible to the naked eye.
The chemical bomb codenamed "ECB-1 Organic Blindness" was a special gift prepared for the flying units from another world.
The flock of birds at the forefront plunged headlong into this area, which was no different from a blizzard.
In an instant, it was as if an invisible hand had gripped the throat of this dark cloud.
The eyes of countless birds first felt a burning sensation, followed by unbearable pain.
Their corneas are rapidly dissolved and irritated when exposed to high concentrations of nitroazole compounds in the air, and their nerves are paralyzed by the toxicity.
The birds' flight suddenly twisted, and amidst their mournful cries, a torrential rain of flesh and feathers began to fall from the sky.
The flock of birds, which resembled dark clouds, had a thick layer scraped away by this invisible wall, revealing a huge gap.
However, the flock of birds behind seemed oblivious, still surging forward fearlessly, only noticeably increasing their speed and altitude, attempting to bypass that deadly airspace.
"Interesting, they even know how to change formations." Brigade Commander Man stroked his chin.
"Then let's try something different." Su Mingjin's voice remained calm.
The order was issued again.
This time, it's the more advanced Type 90 rocket launcher.
A new wave of rockets roared into the sky, but the warheads were replaced with a variety of mixed munitions, including thermobaric, high-explosive, and sonic munitions.
Thermobaric weapons have the greatest destructive power; a single strike can clear an airspace within an 800-meter radius. High-explosive bombs, unsurprisingly, have the smallest kill radius when detonated in the air.
The most important thing is the sonic weapon!
The parachutes of the sonic bombs launched into the air opened, and one by one, disposable black sonic emitters were scattered into the densest part of the flock of birds.
"Om-"
A wave of infrasound, imperceptible to human ears but capable of tearing apart the sensitive senses of birds, swept across.
This was not a physical attack, but a precise strike on both the physical and mental aspects of the bird.
The red light in the eyes of countless medium and large-sized raptors, controlled by fanatical will, faded instantly under the impact of this sound wave, and a trace of clarity returned.
The instinctual fear of death overwhelmed the control emanating from the void.
"Gah——!"
The mournful and terrified cries echoed through the sky, and more birds of prey, regaining their senses, turned and fled like madmen, even beginning to frantically attack their still apathetic "companions."
The entire flock of birds began to collapse from within.
"The results are good, but it's a pity we don't have enough weapons." The technician looked at the results on the screen, feeling both excited and regretful.
"That's enough."
Seeing that only a third of the flock of birds remained, Su Mingjin breathed a sigh of relief: "Those easily manipulated flocks are still flying in. I guess simple wake-up methods won't work. Let's use lethal weapons!"
Looking at the remaining flock of birds on the screen that had broken through two rounds of fire and were approaching the base's last line of defense, Su Mingjin gave the final order.
"Ok!"
"Leave the rest to the close-in weapon systems to fire freely and wipe them out."
Inside the base, dozens of medium- and short-range air defense missile launchers simultaneously turned, and infrared sensors locked onto every high-speed moving heat source in the sky.
The next moment, hundreds of fire dragons soared into the sky, weaving a net of death that was both wide and inescapable.
The sky was instantly illuminated as bright as day.
This is the violent aesthetics of modern industry, a death symphony composed of steel and flames.
Those remaining flocks of birds that managed to break through the double blockade of chemical bombs and infrasound waves may still feel a little fortunate to have survived, but what awaits them is this inescapable net.
A HJ-9B improved anti-aircraft missile accurately struck a giant falcon, its size comparable to an attack helicopter.
The warhead, weighing up to 500 kilograms, detonated with a roar.
The terrifying shockwave, mixed with thousands of pre-fabricated fragments, instantly wiped out all living things within a radius of three hundred meters.
A large, unlucky griffin saw the approaching steel object, let out a sharp cry, and attempted to ram the missile with its own flesh and blood.
The griffin's feathers, harder than steel, and its powerful body slammed into everything the missiles had hit.
Then, the flesh and blood were utterly defeated.
The rocket, which was more powerful than a 155mm howitzer shell, exploded directly upon impact with the griffin.
The steel feathers that could withstand a powerful bow were now as fragile as paper.
The courageous griffin was torn to pieces on the spot.
One after another, plumes of blood mist exploded in the air, dazzling yet cruel.
A real downpour began, a foul-smelling rain of bits of flesh, broken bones, and feathers pelting the snow.
Blood and snow intertwined, creating a tragic scene.
The dark clouds that once blotted out the sky are being wiped away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Inside the command center, many people clicked their tongues in disapproval upon witnessing this scene.
"Report: 60% of hostile aerial targets have been eliminated!"
The radar operator's voice came through.
"The last remaining survivors are still pushing forward. Close-in weapon systems and infrasound weapons, prepare to attack!"
Before the words were even finished, the 30mm close-in weapon system on the watchtowers surrounding the base began to rotate, emitting a teeth-grinding "buzzing" sound.
These close-in weapon systems, dismantled from retired warships and originally intended for retirement, are old relics, but their power should not be underestimated.
The six-barreled cannon spewed long tongues of fire, sweeping at a terrifying rate of over four thousand rounds per minute, towards the thousands of birds that had finally reached the 5-kilometer radius.
As the barrage of bullets swept past, they were blasted into puffs of blood mist in mid-air.
When the sparse birds approached the five-kilometer area, the 400mm cannon that had just been moved over was also fired.
Six 400mm shells, propelled by their explosive charges, flew to an altitude of 1200 meters, subsequently covering an area of 2 kilometers in radius.
The birds in this area were immediately struck by a terrifying attack, turning into blood mist and falling to the ground one after another.
In another world, there is a dormant volcano, only 19 kilometers away from the pioneers' base camp.
Seven pale, wrinkled necromancers with blue eyes, clad in armor and carrying swords, their bodies radiating coldness and deathly power, watched as countless birds in the sky were struck, leaving behind a cloud of blood.
A silent, sinister smile appeared on their狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious/hideous) faces!
