The Era of Magic Technology

Chapter 279 The Threat of U.S. Space-Based Weapons

(I have something to do today, one update, sorry!)

The Pentagon no longer has the sense of majesty it had half a year ago, and many people no longer have the confidence to control the world.

Now, every staff member who enters and exits the Pentagon has a sad face, as if life is painful and unbearable.

Because, the recent economic crisis has also affected each of them.

The characteristic of a capitalist society is economic integration. Everyone living in this capitalist society is closely related to the economy of the entire society. Once the overall economy collapses, no one can escape the impact.

In the central control room, a group of high-level officials gathered for a meeting.

Commander General Mason looked at the picture on the big screen with a serious face.

In the picture, there are images sent back by five satellites, and each image is from the Chinese region.

There is the capital city, the East China Sea, the south, and the northwest, all of which are representative cities of each region!

And the picture taken from above Donghai City showed a red circle with a red origin in the center, giving a sense of urgency.

A scientist in a white coat next to him explained to General Mason: "General, in theory, this is the greatest we can do so far. Space-based weapons with energy attributes cannot be completed overnight. Our past efforts in this field The investment is not high, and now we have just begun to increase research, and it will take at least a few years to produce results, so we can only use physical kinetic energy weapons as much as possible.”

The scientist switched the screen, and a cylindrical satellite appeared. He pointed to the thick metal rod in the middle of the satellite, which was like a bearing that runs through the entire satellite, and said: "This metal rod is made of tungsten alloy. , with a melting point of 3,000 degrees Celsius, a hardness of 5.6, and a weight of 50 tons!"

"As long as we release it from a height of 40,000 meters, under the acceleration of gravity, it is equivalent to a meteorite with a diameter of 100 meters, and because the initial speed is higher, the front end has been sharpened, and the power will be greater than the meteorite. Just hit here!"

His finger pointed to the downtown area of ​​Donghai City, which was where the red light spot was. Seriously said: "This area itself is a coastal area, which belongs to the active crustal plate area, which can easily cause formation shocks. After hitting, at least 70% of the entire city can cause crustal changes..."

General Mason stared at the image motionlessly, and asked in a deep voice, "Then what's the result?"

Scientists played a simulated cartoon, and saw that the simulated city area on the cartoon was hit by a pillar falling from the sky in the neutral area, and then everything was turned into pieces, and a large piece of soil on the ground rolled up, as if Like a rolled up rug. All the high-rise buildings collapsed in an instant, and debris flew all over the sky...

It may also cause an earthquake!

in a blink.

This world-famous international metropolis has been turned into ruins.

The scientist explained: "This is the most perfect situation we imagined. If it can cause the crust in this area to break up, not only this city, but the surrounding area will have aftershocks, which may cause this large area to have no less than An earthquake of magnitude five!"

General Mason took a deep breath, suppressing the tension in his heart, and stared at the satellite image on another screen.

A middle-aged man next to him said: "General, we should report this matter to the White House."

General Mason glanced at his subordinates coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I know what to do. I don't need you to remind me. We just launched five spy satellites. If there is a problem with one of the satellites, from When the sky falls, it's just an accident, just an accident, understand?"

Just an accident?

The middle-aged man reminded in a low voice: "General, there are thirty million people there!"

"You don't need to remind me."

General Mason said in a deep voice: "Go and do the math. In the past week, how many more unemployed people in the United States will know why we are fighting!"

The few soldiers around who wanted to talk immediately stopped talking.

In the past few days, the United States has encountered a severe economic winter. A large number of employees of energy companies and automobile companies have lost their jobs, and the capital market has collapsed. Everyone was losing money and over a thousand people committed suicide in a matter of days.

As a truly pure capital empire. If such a thing happens, then naturally there will be major capital giants behind the government to push the government to do something.

The U.S. has already prepared a thorough legislation to permanently ban Magic Technology’s products. In this way, when everyone forgets about Magic Technology’s products, they will naturally continue to buy their own products, and the energy and automobile industries will recover again. The United States will always Holds the world's largest oil and energy producing area.

After all, no matter how good Maneng Technology's products are, if people in Europe and the United States can't buy them, they will give up.

On the other hand, the United States will not be inactive in the military.

Now is the time to show off your muscles!

Of course, starting a war is definitely impossible.

At present, none of the major countries dare to really go to war. At most, they conduct various exercises to show off their force and deter each other.

But what if it was an accident?

Last time, Wang Xiao played with the combined European and American fleets in the East China Sea, also using satellite experiments as an excuse.

But everyone who has seen it knows that any satellite test is an excuse. At that time, Wang Xiao was going to the United Fleet of Europe and America, just to destroy their military exercise of the United Fleet!

Afterwards, European and American countries, as well as Japan and other countries participating in the joint fleet, did not dare to take military actions. They could only condemn politically and add some economic suppression.

Since, Wang Xiao was able to use the experiment as an excuse at the time.

Why can't accidents happen in the Pentagon?

When a satellite passed over China, it accidentally fell down!

Isn't this also a normal thing?

General Mason knew that the last time the European and American combined fleets were molested, several major countries did not dare to go to war with China. Then, a satellite of the United States fell by mistake, and China did not dare to really declare war on the United States.

Both sides have huge fears, and once a war starts, it will be the result of both parties dying together.

General Mason took a deep breath, still a little hesitant in his heart, so he said seriously: "Continue to adjust the data and wait for my order!"

Several scientists operating the satellite agreed together: "Yes, General!"

………………

Donghai City is far away on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean.

Sitting in the office, Wang Xiao looked at the pictures sent to him by the old chief, and said to the old chief on the phone: "You should have the results, right?"

He doesn't believe that so many experts in the country can't see the tricks in it.

The old chief said on the phone: "Yes, we have indeed researched it. Four of the five satellites are real spy satellites, but one of them only carries a metal rod weighing dozens of tons. Any other communication equipment is just a launching device. They definitely want to use this satellite to artificially create an accident and drop it. No matter which city on the ground it hits, the consequences are unbearable for us."

"Also, this satellite has been hovering over Donghai City. I think their target may be Donghai City."

After saying these words, the old chief's own voice trembled.

When they came to this conclusion, all the members of the general staff felt chilled and lamented how cruel the Americans were.

Donghai City has tens of millions of people...

Moreover, Wang Xiao lives in Donghai City, which is known to the whole world.

The opponent's choice of Donghai City was most likely aimed at Wang Xiao. The second is to deter China.

Wang Xiao is the core point of this world economic crisis. Once Wang Xiao dies, his industries will lose momentum. No source of advanced technology.

Then this time China's technological upgrading will stop instantly. If it fails, the previous investment will become a huge loss instead.

It can be seen that the United States is under tremendous pressure, and they seem to have no other way but to use force to suppress China in an alternative way!

Otherwise, when China's industrial upgrading is completed this time, it will become the world's number one economically for the first time. Surpass Japan and the United States and become a developed country with a population of 1.5 billion!

Thinking about the emergence of such a huge developed country, all politicians in Europe, America and Japan will tremble. At that time, China will be unstoppable unless there is a full-scale war.

"Boss, can't you do anything?"

Wang Xiao asked.

The old chief said affirmatively: "We definitely have a solution, but the movement is too big. What we can do is to destroy the satellite now, and the Pentagon will have no way to control it."

"But. If you knock it down, won't the metal rod fall off?"

Wang Xiao asked.

"It's possible, but according to our observations, there is no gravity at that high altitude. As long as we move quickly and let them have no room to maneuver, they won't fall. If they do fall, then we have to launch a lot of them one after another. After the missile destroys the satellite, it still needs to affect the position of the metal rod, so that it falls into the sea."

The old chief said seriously.

In this way, they have the initiative.

They have already discussed and come up with several solutions, each of which needs to be done first, but even if the crisis is resolved, they will be politically passive, and may be really isolated by the whole of Europe, America and Japan , as in the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

However, if you passively wait for the other party to act, it will be difficult to succeed.

So, he came to Wang Xiao to ask if there was any other solution.

Wang Xiao is a person who is good at creating miracles, and he is also the person on earth who has the most insight into the mysteries of the universe. They all think that Wang Xiao should have a way.

In fact.

At this moment, Wang Xiao really began to think quickly in his heart.

The metal that falls from space must have a high melting point, so that it will not lose its mass by being burned by air friction, and at the same time, it must be sufficiently hard and dense enough.

Therefore, if you want to do it, you must go early.

Otherwise, when the metal rod falls and accumulates a lot of kinetic energy, it will be too late. It will be difficult to deflect it even if it launches a missile. It is possible to hit it continuously, and it is even more impossible to destroy it. .

Wang Xiao quickly picked up a piece of paper, grabbed a pen, and began to write and draw on it quickly.

Donghai City...

"Can you confirm the time?"

Wang Xiao drew a big circle on the location of Donghai City on the paper and asked.

The old chief said hesitantly: "There is definitely no exact time. The Pentagon doesn't have a confirmed time yet, and they are also hesitating. It's just that it will happen within three days. They launched it yesterday, and we still have two days at most. , Counting the variables, we still have at most one day to act.”

"One day!"

Wang Xiao hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll try, but I can't guarantee success. So you should also be prepared. If I fail at that time, you will miss it at any cost!"

Although it is difficult for the metal rod to deviate from the direction after accumulating kinetic energy, as long as it launches missile attacks continuously at any cost, it can still be deflected from the target little by little, but it may not deviate too far, so The danger is still there.

The old chief sighed and said: "We have already prepared for the worst. We will send someone to pick you up and your classmates and family members at that time. How do you need us to cooperate with you now!"

"I'll send you what I want later, and it will be delivered within an hour!"

Wang Xiao also said very seriously.

"no problem!"

The old chief immediately agreed loudly.

Then, the two hung up the phone, and the old chief immediately started to prepare after receiving Wang Xiao's email.

Wang Xiao regretted it a little. He should have installed more weapons on those two satellites at the beginning. Now only one satellite has a chance to use weapons. The military obviously doesn’t want to use them at this time. The other satellite has already There are no weapons, only defense systems.

The earth is indeed very dangerous.

Wang Xiao has an impulse, one day, I will live in space, it should be safe, right?

That's still too far away.

To build a city in space, at least he needs to break through to the realm of a legendary mage, which requires the establishment of a complete ecological cycle.

Now, let's think about how to deal with this crisis.

Wang Xiao immediately picked up the phone and called Li Chengfeng: "Manager Li, take all the nine energy blocks I brought back last time!"

It's a pity that it takes half a month for the energy tree in the desert to condense a batch of energy blocks, so now there are only nine complete blocks that can be used, and there are some broken particles left.

Wang Xiao thought of the magic prop in the villa where he lived, which should have accumulated some energy, and the two energy containers from the material factory and the chip factory can also be used.

And the one from school!

Immediately, he picked up the phone and called Chen Jinxin, asking him to suspend the production of the material factory so as not to consume energy. Then he called the chip factory with the same order to stop production.

In the end, he called the school again, and he called the principal directly, telling the principal that he would go over to take the energy container immediately, and the vacuum area might disappear temporarily!

Of course, Principal Lin has no problem, and he fully agreed! (to be continued ~^~)
