Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 737
Chapter 737: Ultimate Deterrence
After flying through the night, they arrived at the edge of the Hidden Mist Domain before dawn.
This way, they could launch an attack during the day when the temperature was the highest and the lighting conditions were the best.
Meng Chao stood in the nearly 360-degree transparent spherical observation room in front of the Kun Peng. Looking far into the distance, he could see the rolling mountains shrouded in clouds and fog.
The mountains were as steep, sharp, and dangerous as the reefs in the stormy waves.
It was also as if an enormous prehistoric beast was lurking in the depths of the clouds and mist. Every mountain peak was its tusk, and the mountains that surrounded it were its bloody maw.
When the fierce wind blew away the clouds and mist and vaguely revealed the jungle under the dense fog, two surging, turbid rivers could be seen meandering, entangling, and colliding from the depths of the mountains.
At times, they would split into hundreds of tributaries, tearing the originally complicated terrain into pieces. At other times, they would merge together, increasing the width and runoff by several times.
The earth-shaking sound was more like an endless carpet bombing, destroying the eardrums of humans.
This was the Red Dragon River from Earth and the Raging Tiger River from another world.
Like a black dragon and a red dragon, the heads of the two “water dragons” tore at each other’s throats, but their tails were tightly intertwined as if they were intertwined.
With the impact of the two rivers, it was not surprising that there were swamps and ghost lakes everywhere.
Despite the harsh environment, the Red Dragon Army’s construction squad braved the extreme weather and the ravages of the two rivers and opened up several military bases and heavy artillery positions on the relatively safe highlands, they also paved the railway tracks that could pass through the train cannons all the way to a place dozens of kilometers away from Mist Mountain, so that the cannonballs could directly hit the peak of Mist Mountain.
The bright silver metal torrent that symbolized the human civilization was slowly but firmly eroding the fog, wilderness, and jungle that symbolized the monster civilization inch by inch.
Under the warm blood of countless humans, no one could reverse this process.
When the Kun Peng arrived, dozens of railway guns had already been deployed there. They were rhythmically and methodically bombarding the depths of the Hidden Mist Domain.
These railway guns were filled with weather interference bombs and reaction test bombs embedded with rare crystals.
They could blast out colorful mushroom clouds in the depths of the Hidden Mist Domain.
The mushroom clouds rose slowly like huge arrowheads. They could condense in mid-air for dozens of minutes. Even the interference of violent storms and lightning and thunder would be difficult to disperse them.
Long Feijun told Meng Chao that the shells were all filled with hundreds of different kinds of crystal powder. Under high temperature and pressure, they could react with the crystal veins hidden deep in the earth and change into thousands of colors and states.
Experienced crystal specialists could observe the mushroom cloud from a distance in an armored airship or a hot air balloon, and they could predict and calculate the trend, reserves, and components of the underground spiritual veins, providing data support for the matching and coordinates of the weather jamming bombs.
Together with the data transmitted by the man-eating pomfret team and Lu Siya’s team before they went missing, mankind had mapped more than 50% of the detailed maps in the Hidden Mist Domain.
Therefore, the conditions of the new ten exploration teams were much better than those of the previous five exploration teams.
Of course, the indirect calculation through the mushroom cloud fired by the crystal cannonballs was not as accurate as data from actual exploration in the end.
Before the general attack began, the highest authorities hoped to completely control the microclimate near the Hidden Mist Domain and obtain a seventy-two-hour window of calm.
If the heavily armed groups of human beings ventured deep into the Hidden Mist Domain and encountered the flooding of the Red Dragon River and the Raging Tiger River caused by the torrential rain, and triggered a chain reaction such as debris flow, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If they wanted to control the microclimate, they had to find out and eliminate all unknown factors.
That was the mission of the ten exploration teams.
Meng Chao looked at the railway guns that were roaring on the ground and could not take his eyes off them, just like all the men.
After appreciating them for a long time, he reluctantly looked away, he said to Long Feijun, “Senior Brother Long, there’s something that I’ve been curious about. Of course, it’s not convenient for you to tell me. There have been rumors since a long time ago that our Dragon City has nuclear weapons. The purpose of the ‘Dragon Might Cannon’ was to launch nuclear weapons. It is an out-and-out nuclear cannon!
“Is this true? If we really have nuclear weapons, can we annihilate the monster civilization at the smallest cost by bombarding the Hidden Mist Domain directly with nuclear cannons?”
Long Feijun was noncommittal to Meng Chao’s first question.
However, he only smiled, he answered the second question directly. “This is not feasible because the material in the other world is too unstable. Many physical laws are completely different from Earth’s, and there are no nuclear physics experts in Dragon City. Our nuclear physics research system collapsed completely at the beginning of the transmigration. Later, the best talents devoted themselves to the research of spirit martial arts, rune machines, and biochemical modulation.
“As a result, the people of Dragon City are not sure what will happen if a nuclear bomb—even if it is of the lowest yield—explodes in the Other World.
“Besides, although the Hidden Mist Domain is the ultimate nest of the monster civilization, it is also the source of the Red Dragon River and the Raging Tiger River.
“You should know that the flood of the Red Dragon River in the early stage of transmigration has brought disaster to Dragon City, right?
“The power of ordinary nuclear weapons is not as great as you imagine, but the consequences are far more unpredictable than you imagine. Hypothetically, I mean hypothetically, if we really have nuclear weapons and are crazy enough to launch them into the Hidden Most Domain, there is a certain probability that we will annihilate the monster civilization, but there is also a higher probability that we will completely lose control of the Red Dragon River and the Raging Tiger River, turning the southwest area of Monster Mountain Range into a water country, and even causing the Red Dragon River in Dragon City to flood again, engulfing the two banks along the river and the most essential downtown area of Dragon City.
“Don’t forget, the regeneration ability of monsters is very strong, and invisible enemies such as bacteria, viruses, and Blood Flower spores are a hundred times more terrifying than monsters. The flooded area is their paradise, and there will definitely be a major epidemic after the disaster. This is common sense, not to mention that this flood was triggered by nuclear weapons and has extremely strong radioactivity.”
Meng Chao thought about it carefully and could not help but shudder.
He was still reckless.
It seemed that the higher-ups of Dragon City were still quite clear-headed. They had long carried out a detailed deduction of various extreme tactics and strategies.
Many times, he felt that the higher-ups of Dragon City in his previous life had made a series of unimaginably stupid choices, which led to the arrival of the end of the world. It was only because they really had no other choice.
However, judging from Long Feijun’s words, Dragon City really did have nuclear weapons.
In that case, the maintenance, manufacture, and development of nuclear weapons must not be stopped. Instead, they must invest ten times more resources than the Earth era.
No matter how powerful the Deity Realm experts were, nuclear weapons were still one of the ultimate deterrent means of Dragon City civilization.
If destruction was destined to come, then they would destroy both jade and stone. They would increase the level of destruction by a hundred times and destroy the destroyer as well!
Sensing the intense killing intent from Meng Chao, Long Feijun raised his eyebrows and revealed a like-minded expression.
“If the main brain of the monster civilization really has intelligence that surpasses that of humans, it should be praying for our victory now, not for our failure.”
Long Feijun meaningfully said, “Because our failure will be a hundred times scarier than our victory.”
…
The Kun Peng slowly landed at the military base closest to the Hidden Mist Domain.
Meng Chao and the others unloaded the components of the first teleportation device here and completed the assembly and debugging in three hours.
When the shining ball of light that once appeared in the depths of the ancient ruins appeared in the center of the military base, all the soldiers and superhumans were deeply attracted and could not take their eyes off it.
Everyone was keenly aware that the appearance of the short-distance transmigration technology on the surface of the planet meant that the war form of the human civilization would undergo an earth-shaking change.
And today was only the first small wave that the technology raised.
The other teleportation device was still installed in the Supernatural Tower.
Hundreds of armored airships carrying super-high-power crystal communicators hovered in midair one after another from the Hidden Mist Domain all the way to Dragon City, forming a tactical data link that could be seen with the naked eye in the physical sense.
In such a way, the stable transmission of critical data in an environment where the spirit magnetic interference was extremely intense was guaranteed to the maximum.
As a result, the military base at the forefront and the extraordinary tower in the center of Dragon City could exchange large amounts of data, including image information, in real-time.
The extraordinary tower was the first to send over a Bread Crab, a thinking war truck.
When the Bread Crab’s round metallic body appeared from the ball of light, a mechanic and rune master immediately went forward to examine every part of it to see if there was any deformation during the teleportation process.
The Bread Crab also carried three live white mice. They were immediately sent over for research to see if their internal organs were ruptured, if their brains had hematoma, and if their spines were distorted.
The conclusion was that everything was normal. Other than one white mouse that had extremely mild symptoms of a concussion, the other runic machinery and white mice were completely unharmed.
Following that, a heavy transport vehicle filled with crystal ammunition broke through the ball of light like a running rhinoceros and instantly transmigrated from the Supernatural Tower to the forefront.
After tests, the stability and lethality of the crystal ammunition did not decrease.
It meant that the teleportation device had been assembled successfully and was running steadily. More experts and strategic materials could instantly appear at the edge of the Hidden Mist Domain through the crystal ball of light that seemed to contain infinite starlight.
But it was not enough.
The transmigration gate was just insurance.
There were two more teleportation devices to be installed in the depths of the Hidden Mist Domain, preferably at the edge of the sinkhole or even the depths of the sinkhole.
Only in this way could the sharpest knife in Dragon City reach the heart of the monster civilization.
