As casualties mounted, Union commanders began seeking alternative routes of attack.
So under the cover of the troops in front, they opened a gap on the side of the battlefield.
"Eric, they've breached the flank!"
Eric immediately looked in the direction of the herald's finger and found that an enemy force had crossed the border line drawn by the protective shield and attacked the flank of the Wakanda army.
"Let Su Rui send out drones to stop their attack!"
Eric was very calm. He had long guessed that the enemy had the means to break through the dome's protective shield, so he was not surprised at this time.
He was just glad that the other party had only broken through a small area and not the entire dome.
The Royal City Control Center also received the news that the protective shield was broken, and all the technicians were shocked.
"The dome shield has been breached!"
This was the first time the protective shield had been breached since it was established, which meant that the strongest shield that had been protecting Wakanda had been broken. This fact made all the technicians panic instinctively.
"Don't panic, it's just a small area that's been breached, it's not a complete collapse, why panic?"
When everyone was at a loss, T'Challa's steady voice was like sunshine breaking through the dark clouds.
"Prince T'Challa..."
"Where's Su Rui? Ask her what's going on."
"You just exploit me all day long. Don't you know I'm very busy?"
At this time, Su Rui rushed into the control room. She stared at the data and area monitoring on the big screen.
"It looks like the enemy is also using vibranium weapons."
Using the enemy's spear to attack their shield is a simple but effective method.
The energy shield built with vibranium technology was eventually broken by weapons also made of vibranium.
This is the disadvantage of choosing a single material as the main support for material technology at the bottom of the technology tree.
In the past, Wakanda only saw the rapid development of vibranium technology, but chose to ignore the problems. Now they are clearly laid out on the table.
Facts have proved that developing in isolation is not a good idea. Even if you force your way through a technology tree, it will still have flaws.
However, this alone is still a long way to go to flatten Wakanda. Even with what the coalition forces have currently put out, it may not be able to defeat Wakanda.
As one of the spectators, Dane stopped paying attention.
"Don't want to continue watching?" Natasha asked with her head tilted.
"There's no need for that. Wakanda has already gotten over this."
Wakanda has shown the world through its actual performance that they have enough military force to protect their vibranium resources.
If the coalition forces are willing to make more efforts, they can certainly completely capture Wakanda, but the cost and the gains will hardly be proportional.
In the world of capital, war is essentially a business. If the income and expenditure cannot meet satisfactory standards, they will not continue.
Of course, this war will not end so quickly.
The coalition forces have no shame in taking the initiative to attack, and it would be unreasonable not to bring back some spoils.
Dane estimated that if the war continued for a few more days, the coalition forces would be defeated, but Wakanda would have to pay some supplies as compensation.
"Instead of looking at Wakanda, we should look at Taloqan and see what they seem to be preparing to do."
This was something Dane had not expected. He had thought that even if there were problems, they would occur first in Wakanda. He did not expect that Talokan would take the first major action.
For some unknown reason, Wakanda's female agent Nakia has been keeping a close eye on the situation in Talokan.
243 Everything was normal at first, but after Talokan's location was exposed, waves of ambitious people began to harass Talokan frequently.
Even though this tribe established its base underwater, it could not completely stop the surface people's enthusiasm for vibranium.
In order to be able to approach Talokan, these military-industrial enterprises specially developed a Hammer drone that can operate underwater.
As long as we don’t consider the issue of manned aircraft, drones have too many advantages.
Of course, even if there are ready-made drones for reference, it is still not easy for ordinary people to convert these already very complete drones into underwater drones.
But big companies have a way to solve this problem, because America has a technological genius who knows more about Hammer drones than Stark.
Ivan Vanko, a long-forgotten Russian scientist nicknamed Whiplash, was released. He agreed to design a new underwater unmanned fighter for military-industrial enterprises and soon produced a finished product.
After several attempts and intelligence gathering, Ivanvanko also grasped the weakness of the Talokan people and used ultrasound to destroy the Talokan people's balance system, causing huge casualties to the Talokan.
No matter how good Namor is at fighting, he cannot protect all his people by himself.
So he had to use even more brutal means to retaliate against the surface people.
Chapter 1046: Enthusiastic, Polite, and Ignorant
Taloqan has a sun.
This statement may be a bit exaggerated, but it is basically the same.
When the Talocans first entered the underwater world, the deep sea was pitch black, and they could only use their own abilities to grab a little bit of light from the gloomy environment.
Of course, if it were just this, it would not be a big deal for the Talokans.
After all, compared to being hunted by the colonists, it’s nothing to just live in a darker environment. At least they are safe.
However, without sunlight, it is difficult for edible plants to grow in the deep sea, which is a rather troublesome issue for the Talokan people.
Although they have become underwater creatures, the Talokans still need to consume plant fiber and vitamins.
Before Namor created the underwater sun, the Talocan could only grow plants near the coast or sneak ashore to collect them, which was very inconvenient.
But after Namor used the magical metal vibranium to create a sun that could emit stable light, he was able to grow enough plants for his people to eat even in the deep sea environment.
Because of this, he was respected by his tribe as Kukulkan. Quetzalcoatl is also one of the sun gods.
However, this sun not only provides Taloqan with stable light and heat, but it can also bring destruction if activated by other means.
When the surface people's underwater drones broke through the Talocan's defenses and came directly to the core area, Namor had no choice but to activate the weapon function of the sun.
The pressure accumulated by the sun in the underwater high-pressure environment for a long time was released all at once, and the spreading water impact destroyed all underwater drones in an instant.
The closest ones were even crushed to dust at the molecular level.
Vibranium can absorb energy and kinetic energy and release it at the appropriate time.
The sun of Taloqan was made according to this principle.
The water pressure in deep water is extremely huge. The core area of Taloqan is about 3,000 meters below sea level, and the deep water pressure here is incredibly high.
It's roughly equivalent to one person carrying thirteen statues of liberty on pedestals on his back.
If such a huge water pressure can be utilized, it will definitely be a considerable energy source.
Namor uses the properties of vibranium to allow the sun to absorb the huge energy of deep water, and then slowly release the energy accumulated by the water pressure through light radiation.
Since there is a slow-release method, there must be a more radical method, and the latter can become a powerful weapon to destroy the enemy who dares to invade Taloqan.
Ivan Vanko did not know this information in advance and suffered a small loss, so that all the underwater drones he had just produced were wiped out.
Nakia is luckier. She uses Wakanda's underwater drone. Since it is also made of vibranium, it can last longer than drones from other forces.
So she successfully witnessed the true form of the Talocan weapon, but this time she did not announce this information to the public. Instead, she watched those people tirelessly use drones to test it again and again.
This behavior eventually angered Namor, and he decided to stop playing defense and instead take the initiative.
After a while, through the detector specially made by Shuri, Nakia detected that the sun in Taloqan was moving, and the direction of movement was America.
As for the specific target, it is not known yet, but it is obvious that Namor wants to go straight to the heart of the matter and make a big move in the United States.
Because the Talocans moved underwater, they could avoid mainstream waterways and choose to enter through unguarded rivers, making their movements completely undetectable to the United States.
After all, given America's administrative efficiency, it is impossible to install detectors on all incoming rivers to guard against underwater enemies.
If it were the Nakia of the past, she might have reminded America at this time so that they could be prepared.
But now that her homeland was experiencing war, Nakia had a tendency in her heart and just watched what was happening in silence.
Sixteen hours later, a horrific explosion occurred in the port of Los Angeles, USA. About 30,000 people were turned to ashes by the impact of the blast without any warning, and buildings along the coast collapsed like dominoes.
The indirect death toll was about tens of thousands, and the casualties caused by various derivative disasters such as fires and floods were countless.
This famous port city turned into hell on earth in just a few minutes.
After the explosion, a raging tsunami hit the land, sweeping away countless survivors and drowning their lives.
After that, Namor stood above the city and declared war on America!
He claimed that this was just a greeting and they would start with the US Navy and gradually cut off the power the US had built at sea.
The Talocans performed very poorly in land battles, but in naval battles, even though they were primitive people, they still held a firm strategic advantage.
No navy of any land-based country can move freely in the sea like they do.
Facing a navy that can only fight in two dimensions, the Talocans, who can fight in three dimensions, have more flexible tactics and are more threatening.
The weapon that Namor took out also made Dane's eyes light up.
"It seems I misunderstood them in the past," he said to Wanda beside him. "I thought they were completely primitive, but I didn't expect they also had certain scientific research capabilities."
If the underwater sun project was really initiated by Namor, then he is definitely not a primitive man who can only wield a spear. This guy must have learned some technology.
But it's obviously a wild approach, not as systematic as Wakanda.
Dane suddenly remembered that the Talocans had not only demonstrated technological prowess on the sun, but they had also used vibranium to create countless high-speed waterways in the deep ocean.
As long as it is activated with vibranium, the rapids will open. Shuri in the movie was brought into Talokan by a rapids.
It seems that the Talocans also have their own technology tree, but like Wakanda, they like to stick to their traditional lifestyle and still live in a tribal way.
"The people at the Ministry of Defense are clamoring to completely annihilate Taloqan. They hope to gain support from Atlas. How should we respond?"
Wanda, dressed in an office lady outfit, tilted her head and looked at Dane.
"What kind of support do they want from us? Weapons and equipment? Or an army?"
"All of them." Wanda recalled the tone of the person from the Ministry of Defense.
"They're trying to throw all the most troublesome problems onto us," Dane sneered.
"By the way, who is Ivan Vanko working for now?"
"It's an official department, and it seems to have connections with the military."
"Then they don't need our technical support at all. Ivan alone can be an army."
"What should I say next time they come?"
"Enthusiastic, polite, but clueless."
Chapter 1047: Signs of Alliance Collapse
The events that Taloqan created in Los Angeles forced Congress to shift its main attention to the mainland.
This greatly relieved the pressure on the Wakanda front. Eric keenly grasped the opportunity and launched a counterattack, successfully driving the coalition forces out of Africa.
Considering that Talokan and Wakanda may be allies, the coalition did not send a naval combat formation to join the battle this time.
Moreover, the United States was also preoccupied with its own affairs. Namor seemed to know that Wakanda had gained the upper hand on the African battlefield, so he tacitly launched an attack on the American naval forces.
This resulted in the United States being unable to send its navy to support the coalition forces even if it wanted to.
At this point in the war, the situation has become somewhat clear.
The coalition forces were unable to capture Wakanda and found it difficult to deal with the Talocan, who were able to move freely in the water.
Since their hiding place was discovered by the surface people, the Talocans moved their base to other sea areas.
They still understand the principle that "even if people survive and land is lost, both people and land will survive."
As for vibranium, it is hidden in the sea three thousand meters below. Mining at such a deep place is definitely not something that can be done overnight.
Until the Taloqan issue is resolved, it will be difficult for large military-industrial enterprises to do anything even if they are jealous.
But the Talokans' advantage could not last forever. They aroused Ivan Vanko's competitive spirit. This unconventional scientist later developed more weapons against the Talokans.
Through the scrapped drones on the front line, he probably figured out the working principle of the Talocan sun.
To put it simply, this thing is a weapon that releases stored energy all at once. The released energy can be transmitted through water waves and destroy the structure of objects.
