Chapter 330 Explosion

Since the military had made thorough arrangements, he couldn't say anything and could only follow their instructions.

After the two sets of solar energy cores were settled, the two sides handed them over. Li Zhenhua then went to the control tower and watched as the 20 fat girls on the runway prepared for takeoff.

Under Li Zhenhua's watchful eye, the 20-foot-long plane slowly accelerated on the runway. As the speed increased, the plane's wheels left the ground.

Watching the plane fly towards western Kyushu, the huge plane gradually became a small black dot, and soon even that small black dot could not be seen anymore.

As the plane flew away, he still had eight sets of the Sun Star in his hands, and he didn't know when another transport plane would come to receive the remaining eight sets!

Just when he thought he would have to wait a long time for another plane to come and take over, he didn't expect that he would hear the roar of airplane engines from the sky again as soon as he returned to the workshop and hadn't even sat down properly.

The flight schedule is really tight. He knew that another transport plane had arrived. He quickly put on the Chi You armor again, and called Ning Wei. The two of them each used a pressure vehicle to pull a set of Sun Star armor and headed towards the test flight field.

At this freight frequency, they will not be able to rest for a short period of time. Only when all ten sets of Sun Stars in his hands are transported will it finally come to an end.

He spent the rest of the day dealing with the transportation, working until after 10 p.m. before finally managing to move all ten sets of the Sun Star.

Feeling carefree, he looked at the empty workshop and a smile appeared on his face. The manufacturing of the energy core had achieved a significant milestone, and the remaining task was to move on to the manufacturing of the aerospace fighter.

Five 20-Fast-Piercing Jets landed one after another at the Lop Nur nuclear test site. The site was now in operation again, and the staff carefully unloaded the solar energy core from the planes.

This newly revitalized test base was unknown to outsiders; it had been reactivated by Kyushu, and it also housed ten sets of energy cores for aerospace fighters.

If the outside world knew what Kyushu was doing here, spies would probably flock here in droves.

However, the secrecy surrounding this incident in Kyushu was extremely well-maintained; not a single detail of what was happening here was revealed.

The rest of the world is focused on the plane coming and going on Earth and has no time to pay attention to what Kyushu is doing right now.

Ten sets of solar energy cores have been transported to the Lop Nur experimental base and are being well protected. Although this area is still uninhabited, a large number of troops are currently gathering in the surrounding area.

It was practically a defensive posture, surrounding the Lop Nur base in the middle. With such tight defense, no one could break through such a tight defensive perimeter.

After all ten energy cores were transported away, Li Zhenhua did not go to Lop Nur this time, because the activation of these ten energy cores was not like the first time.

That time, we had no experience and only one chance; if it exploded, it would be all over. So we had to make sure everything went perfectly. But this time, the situation is quite different.

There are a total of ten energy cores this time. If something unexpected happens, it will be within his acceptable range. If it explodes, so be it. He can just rebuild it afterward.

So he doesn't plan to go to the site this time; he can just operate it remotely from here. In addition, he plans to hand over the startup work later, and he has also made backups of all the design drawings.

Why do he do this? It's entirely out of precaution. To put it bluntly, he's preventing Kyushu from losing all the manufacturing data on space fighters and experimental spaceplanes should he be stabbed.

It can be considered as a backup plan he left for Kyushu just in case, although such a situation would only occur under the worst-case scenario.

After Li Zhenhua sent away the energy core, he also put the manufacturing of various parts of the Super Raptor on his agenda.

Every day he is immersed in the joy of handcrafting. He is particularly interested in the modified Raptor he is building. He is extremely dedicated to it. This feeling makes him feel like he has returned to the time when he was making model airplanes.

It is said that interest is the best teacher for learning and progress, and this is certainly true for him as well. He is now conducting research based on his own interests, doing it for his own enjoyment and fun.

Doing research not for the sake of research itself is the best mindset for scientific research, and it is also the easiest way to achieve results.

Time passed quickly, and a few days went by. Li Zhenhua received another call from Wang Yuesheng.

The old man told Li Zhenhua that he had arrived at Lop Nur and was the on-site commander for the activation of ten sets of solar energy cores.

After all the work was completed, Li Zhenhua remotely connected to the robot that was currently stationed at the Lop Nur test site in his own workshop via the internet.

The subsequent operations proceeded smoothly, thanks to the experience gained from the previous operation. In any case, the energy core that was being activated was running without any problems, and after the energy core was activated, all the indicators were gradually recovering.

Once the deadly nuclear radiation around the core was neutralized by the Golden Crow particles, the Twinblade helicopters, which had been waiting nearby, flew swiftly toward the location of the core.

With the successful launch of this core, everyone is full of confidence for the launch of the subsequent nine cores.

The many staff members watching on site cheered immediately, their enthusiasm almost lifting the roof off.

Wang Yuesheng was also extremely excited at this moment. One successful energy core is called an isolated case, two successful cores are called a coincidence, but three or four consecutive successful cores are what we call success.

The subsequent energy cores were all successfully activated, bringing the total number of activated energy cores to five. Li Zhenhua, who was remotely controlling everything from Shuzhen, also put forward his follow-up plan.

That means leaving the activation of the energy core to the on-site personnel, while he simply observes from the sidelines and provides guidance if any problems arise.

The activation of the next five energy cores proceeded smoothly, and the various activation procedures were understood by those present. Li Zhenhua had essentially handed over this aspect of the work to others.

If all ten energy cores are successfully activated, it means that the Super Dragon Modification that Li Zhenhua is currently developing will be able to fly.

After handing over the task of activating the core, he no longer paid attention to the development of the energy core. Instead, he devoted himself to the subsequent production of the Super Raptor Mod.

Everything was proceeding smoothly with the Super Raptor modification, but at that moment, something happened in space.

The spaceplane had loaded another cargo hold of lunar soil on the moon and was on its return journey. Everything was going so smoothly until it was about to approach Earth's atmosphere.

A rock that looked very ordinary, resembling a small asteroid from a distance, suddenly gained power when it was fifty meters away from the spaceplane.

He spewed out a blue tail flame and crashed into the location of the spaceplane. All of this happened in the blink of an eye, leaving none of the five Snowy Owl pilots on board with time to react.

This artificial object, resembling an asteroid, is rapidly approaching the spaceplane. Judging from its behavior, it seems determined to destroy the spaceplane!

Fortunately, the external energy shield was on when the spaceplane returned from the moon, and the object that was heading straight for the spaceplane was blocked by the energy shield.

The five Snow Owls on the plane all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had survived a disaster. However, before they could figure out how to deal with what was happening, they were still in a panic.

The object blocked outside the shield underwent some unusual change. Before the five of them could react, they felt a flash of blue light, but there was no further reaction.

Looking back at the spot where the object had been, there was nothing left, as if the object had never existed.

They initially thought it was a simple matter, nothing more than which country was in disguise doing this, but when Snow Owl checked the instrument later, a box of data on the instrument displayed a completely different situation.

The anomaly is occurring in the Golden Crow particles that make up the energy shield. Data shows that these shield particles are decreasing rapidly, while the number of weapon-grade Golden Crow particles is increasing dramatically.

This was a situation they had never encountered before. They were all stunned, thinking that the spaceplane had encountered some kind of problem after the collision. However, a piece of data they saw next made them completely understand what was going on.

The reason for this situation is that the ordinary Golden Crow particles that make up the shield have all been passively involved in neutralizing nuclear radiation, which has led to a decrease in ordinary Golden Crow particles and a surge in weapon-grade Golden Crow particles.

There is only one possibility for this situation to occur: a nuclear explosion has just taken place in their area, and there is a huge amount of nuclear radiation in the surrounding area, which is why this situation has occurred.

After analyzing this information, they deduced what the asteroid-like object was: a bomb that had exploded right next to them.

In other words, a certain country on Earth has just launched a tactical strike against them using extremely covert yet not-so-covert methods!

This is truly unimaginable! In this day and age, someone actually dares to take the lead in using force, and even targets the rising power of Kyushu. It's quite a clever scheme.

However, those who planned all of this never expected that the energy shield on the aerospace fighter jet created by Li Zhenhua could actually withstand a nuclear attack and, after the explosion, passively neutralize the surrounding nuclear radiation.

The five Snow Owls were originally very happy on their return journey, but unexpectedly, they were hit by a nuclear bomb at the gate, which was aimed at killing them.

The snowy owl didn't continue to cross the atmosphere. Instead, it floated aimlessly in the outer sky in its spaceplane. During this time, it reported everything that had just happened to the Kyushu Space Agency and sent a copy of the surveillance video from the plane back to Kyushu.

A nuclear attack is no small matter; a slight misstep could potentially ignite World War III.

After receiving the report from Snowy Owl and the on-site video, Kyushu Space Agency realized that the situation was serious and they immediately reported it to their superiors.

The Kyushu Space Agency reported the fastest, followed by the Second Artillery Corps' space observations, and then all the relevant departments that knew about the matter reported their observations.

After the incident, all the bigwigs, whether they were at home or not, gathered together for a meeting. Kyushu was frantically investigating, while at that moment, in the office of the Black Palace Chief, the current *** was slumped in his chair, looking utterly dejected.

It was originally thought that the most powerful weapon on Earth could achieve unprecedented results.

He was able to eliminate this enormous threat floating in the skies above the Nine Provinces. However, while he guessed the beginning, he didn't foresee the end.

Their camouflage was feasible and effective, but it didn't end well. The spaceplanes within the blast radius were not destroyed by the nuclear explosion in space; they remained intact, as if nothing had happened.

Yes, the nuclear explosion was blocked by the spaceplane's energy shield. In fact, it was because the explosion happened in space that it was able to withstand the shockwave. If it had happened on Earth, the spaceplane would have had to deal with the mushroom cloud and shockwave, and the shield would not have been able to hold up.

The energy shield actually blocked the high temperature and electromagnetic pulse of the nuclear explosion, something that the mastermind behind the whole thing had never expected.

It's not just the US that's constantly paying attention to this explosion in space; other countries with the capability to observe it are also watching, but they've chosen to remain silent, fearing that this terrible event will implicate them.

However, there was one country that was an exception. While other countries would rather hide themselves deep underground than get involved in this mess, this country, unafraid of death, stepped forward to take responsibility for what happened in space.

This country has really lost its mind, daring to take on such a thing. The old man sitting in the Black Palace has almost gone bald from pulling out his hair and still can't come up with a suitable explanation, and now one has been delivered right to his door.

They didn't care whether the matter was reasonable or not; they just responded based on this, demanding a reasonable explanation from the person who made the broken bowl stand up. Their attitude was utterly disgusting.

Other countries didn't take the threat of taking responsibility for the broken bowl seriously, but this time the US was the first to speak out, and it was the broken bowl that was blamed. This made everyone realize that something was wrong with the US!
