Sinmonger Chapter 22: Countdown to Destruction (Part 1)

A month ago, outer space, the Phantom space station. .+?(.+nbsp;s*

The only way to get here from Earth is in a manned spaceship. Even in the 22nd century of this parallel universe, it is still not easy to send people into space. The aerospace field may be the only remaining patented technology of the empire.

Under the condition that the base area has not been firmly established, it is impossible for the resistance organization to develop such a technology industry that consumes huge resources and does not bring much substantial returns. Even if those manpower and technical costs are not counted, the cost of a space shuttle alone can arm a ground force.

But in space, there is indeed a weapon of great strategic value - Genesis.

Also mentioned in the previous article, these three words often appear together with nuclear bombs, because they have one most fundamental thing in common: both are considered destructive weapons that need to be banned. Generally speaking, it will only be used when faced with a person or thing that poses a serious threat to the life and civilization of all mankind.

The reason why Zhuge Village dared to bring nuclear weapons to Tiandu as a backup plan is also considering the particularity of the situation. Today's city is more than just a symbol. At this stage of the war, the nobles and royal families of other counties on the earth have basically fled to this place. Of course, it cannot be said that all these people are evil people, but no matter who they are, they will be affected by The commoners hate it equally.

In the face of great right and wrong, great favor and great hatred, personal thoughts and actions are of little importance.

Just like in another parallel universe, the "patriotic youth" of a certain country think about destroying an island country all day long. Given the current situation, the use of nuclear bombs against the sky is not a conventional method, but it does not necessarily mean that there will be no supporters. Under the rule of the empire, there are so many netizens who are clamoring to enter Tiandu on the Internet all day long, and they should be able to applaud.

Let's get down to business, let's talk about these two weapons. The most intuitive difference between the two is naturally reflected in the effect of the attack. It's clear with an example: Suppose God exists and he has a big face. Then when the nuclear bomb explodes in his face, he will be disfigured in a large area, and will be affected by radiation all year round; and when he is attacked by Genesis. His entire face would be intact, only the nose would disappear, replaced by a large black hole that was perfectly round.

This is an embarrassing multiple choice question, do you want a detonator to explode against your face? I still want to be stabbed vertically in the face by a cylindrical laser sword...

From a strategic point of view, Genesis should be superior to a nuclear bomb. Launched directly from space, the Genesis blasts shockwaves of destruction to the target area in seconds, with little time to escape and no means of defense. Even if you can create a directional force field strong enough to withstand the power of Genesis, I am afraid that it will not be too late to react when the attack arrives, unless someone can tell you in advance when the Genesis will launch, and the time is accurate to the second.

Nuclear bombs seem to be easier to handle, and there is still a chance of interception while the missile is in flight, or the transport plane is dropping. After all, the reconnaissance weapons of this era are still relatively strong. The technology of various small UAVs has also been quite mature.

Of course. There is only one Genesis device, and nuclear warheads... It is difficult to say how many exist on earth.

The world's only Genesis device is located on the Mirage space station. This space station, just like its name "Phantom", should not exist. As a project that generates financial expenditures every year, it does not even have an official number. So it is even less possible to have a complete file.

Phantom is both a space station and a spacecraft. After discarding some of its components, it can return to Earth with the Genesis Device. In order to ensure that the location is not found. The special refraction field of the space station can also shield 98% of the detection methods from the earth. In theory, even the naked eye observation of some people with specific abilities cannot find flaws.

A total of 12 staff members are equipped on the Phantom. They are six professionals with different occupational skills. Each position has one official executive and one standby staff. The rotation period of personnel is from one year to one year. Three years. The specific cycle and date of the rotation are uncertain. Generally, it will be notified 48 hours before the start of the rotation. After the replacement personnel on the ground arrive on the space shuttle, the replaced person needs to return on the space shuttle immediately.

These twelve people need to undergo a psychological test at least once a week. If there is an abnormal mental state, Tiandu will issue an order to the other crew members according to the situation. Anomalous personnel are imprisoned or terminated.

Phantom is not a weather satellite, nor is it responsible for scientific research, and the crew's mission here is to maintain Genesis and, in some cases, execute the order to use the weapon. The only stronghold that can communicate with them is in the palace of Tiandu. A ground team with the highest authorization level of the empire constantly supervises the operation of the Phantom. Their job is to ensure that the weapon is in normal condition, and that it stays with it. The crew is sensible and loyal. As for the only person who can issue the order to use Genesis, there is only one emperor.

The whole project seems to be working perfectly, it's safe to say, but...

One day in February, an uninvited guest greeted the universe.

A phone booth-sized pot-shaped object broke through the second cosmic speed, flew out of the atmosphere, and approached the orbit of the Phantom. Humans have been flying into the universe for more than a hundred years, and there is a lot of space junk of this size near the earth. So, when this thing got close, the members of the Phantom just followed the usual practice and used the beam weapons outside the space station to smash it, making it a safe collision volume that the space station could withstand... that is, fragments.

Unbeknownst to them, this thing turned out to be a miniature space shuttle with a passenger inside.

The shadows of outer space are as dark as damp black velvet, and one can fall asleep with their eyes open if one is surrounded by that darkness. It was under the cover of such an environment... a black semi-liquid humanoid, deceived the Phantom, and adsorbed on the surface of the space station. After waiting patiently in the universe for several days, he finally found an opportunity to dive into it...

What happened after that was like a horror movie, "Alien i", "Black Hole Surface", "Black Friday x", you don't need me to tell you what the dark water does.

Anyway, it didn't take long. The space station is under his control. Darkwater played twelve roles by himself, and went to conduct a psychological test as usual (the process of the test was that a psychiatrist on Earth would talk to the twelve crewmen one by one on the weekends of each week. The required conversation for each person The duration is generally about ten minutes. So the dark water keeps going out of the room, changing its appearance, and then going in...), and maintains some regular communication with the ground (regular communication does not need to open the video).

It's been like this for half a month. The dark water didn't reveal the slightest flaw, and Tiandu didn't have any doubts at all.

Obviously, this operation has been planned for a long time, whether it is the ability to survive in outer space in a simple lift-off device. Or the ability to imitate, only the powerful fourth kingdom of Darkwater can do it. It is precisely because of his existence that the execution of this task is possible.

As the gunsmith said to Tianyi, "You planned everything half a year ago, so the Marshal and I made 'that'." The "that" here refers to the miniature space shuttle .

Tianyi's request is very simple. It doesn't need to be regarded as something for people to ride, as long as it can transport about a cylinder of liquid into space. It doesn't matter if you make a big titanium can.

So. On the day of March 11, when the sun rises in the East Eleven (time zone), at the appointed moment, the dark waters will let an inevitable destruction fall from the sky.

…………

At 4:30 in the morning, the palace was just on fire.

King Kong is throwing Samael out to sea. The black snake is huge, but King Kong's power is not small at the moment. The monster that was flying in the air was actually torn down.

Samael has just turned his attention to the paper man, but has not noticed it for a while. Unable to resist his strength, he was thrown out of the outer wall on the east side of the floating island and fell into the sea.

But the height of Tiandu was there, and Samuel had enough time to adjust in the air. Before he touched the sea, he stopped his fall, just approaching the sea, the fiery energy on his bone wings Then there was a large white mist on the water.

From a distance, the giant shadow of this black snake seems to be a scorpion without pincers and stretched out, slowly cruising up and re-boarding the floating island.

Samael rose to a height, and as soon as he emerged, he was attacked by the wind-like shreds of paper. He didn't hesitate either. Shekou opened, and the black light exploded. This time, the black light did not spread in a straight line, but turned into countless ghostly shadows and flew out.

The huge disadvantage of ability in physical form makes the paper of the paper man quickly defeated. Samuel's snake head is protected by those black substances, and behind the snake is the flame of bone wings. No way to start, hard to approach.

King Kong is not afraid of this. After drinking double the standard dose of Dou Shen wine, he only felt a steady stream of power pouring out of his body, and the strength of his steel skin increased even more.

He stepped a little, and his tall body burst out with a speed that was no less than that of a madman. He jumped high up in front of Samael's snake belly, ignoring the oncoming heat, his arms were shaking, his fingers were embedded in the snake's belly, his palms were twisted outward, and he was tearing at the sides, trying to open the monster. tripe.

He succeeded. A section of the black snake's long and narrow abdomen was torn apart by his brute force. But what happened the next second made King Kong regret it.

After opening Samuel's snake belly, a pool of black corrosive liquid spewed out directly from the inside. King Kong was close, and he was naturally splashed. Although he had energy protection, he had to quickly close it. eyes to avoid eye damage.

The moment he closed his eyes, a corpse soldier sprang out of the snake's belly, jumped onto King Kong's shoulders, and bit his mouth. The corpse soldier's black teeth were shattered by the hard skin of King Kong when his jaws were closed, but the corpse soldier did not know the pain. Cut, a mad attack. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been crushed by it long ago, but it was relatively easy for King Kong to withstand this kind of attack.

King Kong also ignored the monkey's ticklish attack, just subconsciously kicked Samuel, and took advantage of his strength to fly backwards. He closed his eyes and grabbed the horse The corpse soldier on his shoulder immediately raised his other arm, shouted violently, pulled the corpse soldier into two pieces, and threw it out.

Wiped his face, his fingers and skin made hissing noises, but King Kong opened his eyes nonchalantly: "What the hell..." He spat and cursed.

As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, King Kong's expression changed. Samuel's torn snake's belly was like an opened portal, and countless corpse soldiers jumped out one after another.

Those black corpse soldiers basically looked like humanoids, their whole bodies were covered with black corrosive liquid, many of them lacked arms and legs, and most of them had sharp teeth and fangs. The faces of the corpse soldiers were not only hideous, but also showed a kind of extremely distorted pain.

Every time Samael swallows a person, he can create one more corpse soldier like this. As long as he wants, he can create an army with physical combat strength several times that of ordinary humans, and he does not know fear and moves forward bravely. However, the weakness of the corpse soldiers is also very significant. They have no independent thinking ability, and their intelligence is simply not enough to use human technology-based combat weapons. If Samuel does not control them, they can only act according to instinct.

From the face of the mirror, until this moment, King Kong can be said to be more desperate after the war. In the previous four-on-one match, I couldn't hurt the opponent at all, but now I finally get hurt, but I just discovered a new ability of this monster~IndoMTL.com~ What the **** is this guy? The devil who escaped from hell? "King Kong gritted his teeth and punched out a few corpse soldiers who rushed forward, but the number of corpse soldiers was too many, and he would be buried in the pile of corpse soldiers if he went further.

"The flying one is not easy to catch, so I'll swallow you first, hiss..." Samuel lowered the snake's head and said, after releasing a considerable number of corpse soldiers, his snake's belly quickly healed.

How could King Kong sit and wait for death? Seeing the pressure from Shekou, he quickly shook off the two corpse soldiers who were biting his arms, swept and kicked a few more, and quickly turned around and leaped back.

Samael's snake body is no slower than him, shaking off his bones and sparks. He kept his mouth open and flew straight forward.

In just a few seconds, King Kong was caught up, and he was about to be swallowed.

Suddenly, a shadow of blood flashed, and at an incredible speed, it rushed into the black snake's huge mouth from the side, and then rushed out from the other side, pulling Samel's forked tongue with his hand, The snake head was pulled and the direction was adjusted. (To be continued..)
