49. Pre-war preparations

On the screen controlled by RAND II, several sets of numbers the size of ants are rapidly changing. Shen Yun could recognize the top group of yellow characters, marking the diameter of the pit, the blue group of words was the degree of destruction of the area, and the bottom group of red characters made her sweat coldly, which was the rising neutron wave radiation data.

"Could it be that this field is a neutron bomb test site opened up by the enemy on the earth?" Shen Yun asked in surprise.

Cao Fang glanced sideways at her, his eyes showing approval, "Great, it seems that you can read the meaning of these values without my guidance." However, the cause of the crater had nothing to do with the neutron bomb test explosion, but the explosion of the spacecraft antimatter fuel base built underground by the resurrectionists, which destroyed the village. ”

"Antimatter fuel? That pillar of smoke, is it coming from antimatter? ”

That was an extremely terrifying term, and based on imagination alone, Shen Yun could not estimate the power of the explosion. And as far as her current level of knowledge is concerned, she only knows that all human launch vehicles use liquid hydrogen or composite solid fuel, or a combination of both. NASA, the organization representing the most advanced space technology on Earth, has made a bold statement: It is expected to be able to build a nuclear fusion rocket after 2030 to send American scientists to Mars.

But these alien enemies have long known how to compress the plasma stream to form fusion energy, and use nuclear energy to propel the vehicle through space? The worst case scenario is far more than that, but they are studying antimatter propulsion, and if the explosion caused by careless operation is enough to destroy the entire earth?

Cao Fang's answer confirmed her guess, "Nuclear fusion can only be regarded as a pediatric in cosmic-level thruster research, and the explosion came from the annihilation of antimatter fuel from enemy rocket thrusters, and the annihilation may occur from antihydrogen atoms less than 2.5 grams, and set off a chain reaction, causing a small light water reactor hidden underground to leak." The RAND 2 broadcast only the images captured at the beginning of the disaster, and now in that area, the ecological environment within a radius of 10 kilometers has been seriously damaged, let alone growing food, I am afraid that it will no longer be suitable for human habitation for at least ten or twenty years. ”

"Those are not the plots of science fiction blockbusters, but real, disasters that have occurred on the surface of the earth!" The indescribable fear grabbed Shen Yun's heart.

Cao Fang's expression was grim and confirmed: "Yes, after nuclear fusion and neutron waves, those guys have been able to use antimatter as propeller fuel and fly around the universe, so in terms of the speed of spacecraft, even if we have developed to a level unimaginable to humans on the ground, we may not be on the same order of magnitude as them." ”

Shen Yun wanted to speak and stopped.

Cao Fang saw her hesitation and encouraged: "You are not a saint, if you want to go from a peaceful life to a state of war in such a short period of time, facing such a powerful alien creature, how can I ask you to be as calm as a real soldier and take everything you hear and see calmly?" No matter what questions you have, you can ask them boldly, I will never laugh at you, even if you laugh, it is better than holding it in your heart alone. ”

The image of a soldier in Shen Yun's mind has always been whimsical and unrestrained, and it is really unexpected for her to have a meticulous mind like Cao Fang who thinks about people everywhere.

However, at this moment, she had no intention of studying Cao Fang, and since she had been encouraged, she might as well boldly ask: "If war is inevitable, with the current military level of our earthlings, how sure can we be of victory?" ”

I don't know if I have watched too much of the picture shown by RAND II and become numb, or if there is a killer feature that has not yet been revealed, from Cao Fang's face, I can't see the worrying nervousness, and it always shows the composure and calmness of the veteran on the battlefield. Shen Yun was inclined because of the latter.

Sure enough, Cao Fang said: "If everyone on our planet has to get by, and is content with the status quo, we can only sit and wait for the enemy to break into the solar system, penetrate the atmosphere and smash the earth, and destroy us in the blink of an eye." Fortunately, there will always be a group of people who don't know how to keep to themselves are awake, and from the moment the aliens discovered our world and started the bad idea of hitting the earth, they were sensitive to the movement and started defensive research in time, and they persisted for decades. Accumulated to this day, it is considered a small achievement. ”

"Really?" The heaviness in Shen Yun's heart suddenly lightened, and his worries were reduced by half.

Cao Fang nodded and said, "It's true, soon you will see the achievements I said." Don't think that today's Space Force was built overnight, and that it was the work of two whole generations. The enemy has an extraordinary technological power, and we must hide from them the true strength of the earthlings in order to prevent them from being caught by surprise. In the early days, there were 30 laboratories around the world secretly studying nuclear fusion energy and antimatter propulsion. As of yesterday, the number had increased to two hundred. These laboratories are all located in remote mountainous areas such as Daliang Mountain. In addition to our regiment, there are six regiments in Xinjiang, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and other places, and the mountains are our best cover. ”

If you want to avoid the eyes and ears of the aliens, you have to build all the military and scientific facilities in the depths of the mountains, and among these mountains, Daliang Mountain is one of them, and my father led his army to be stationed here many years ago......

The messy thoughts that had been messy all the time began to connect with each other, and Shen Yun felt a lot better, but she was still a little confused. Cao Fang had tried his best to answer her questions, but it was not easy to figure out such a complicated situation in a short period of time. The number of doubts in her mind was increasing exponentially, and she was now more eager to get to the location of the group as soon as possible.

Next, RAND II broadcast several more attacks by the Resurrectionists. Interspersed with them, Cao Fang finally explained clearly what was going on with these people. For some reason, Shen Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"At least Qu Zhaodi's fantasy of resurrection of the dead, even the aliens haven't done it, which means that the universe is not as terrible as I thought, and behind the black sky, there are no creatures hiding and peeping at me, and I am wishful thinking!"

Comforting herself, she unconsciously smiled, was looked at by Cao Fang, and asked in surprise, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Shen Yun panicked, and hurriedly replied in disguise: "No, it's nothing, I just heard you say that the earth side is sure of victory, and I'm just happy." ”

Cao Fanghu retracted his gaze suspiciously and said nothing.

On the next journey, both of them were thinking about their own thoughts, and Shen Yun couldn't find out the key problem for a while, and she was not a person who could talk casually, so she had to watch the scenery that kept flashing outside the car window alone, until Cao Fang reminded: "The watch that General Shen left you can take out, and you can use it immediately." ”
