Chapter 877 The Sinking of the Continental Plate Stops
After the crustal movement of the Secco plate lasted for five hours, it began to slowly slow down.
Although earthquakes and volcanoes continue, the sinking of continental plates has basically stopped.
"How is the plate sinking?"
Admiral Rhodes looked at the time, and the scheduled decisive battle time was approaching.
If the Secco plate hadn't sunk as expected, the showdown might not have come.
The sinking plan team of the continental plate has been closely monitoring the progress. Upon hearing the inquiry, a geological researcher stood up and replied: "The average sinking depth of the Secco plate is 4.3 kilometers, which is 0.7 kilometers away from the planned target."
"What is the estimated final sinking depth?" Admiral Rhodes asked again.
"Now the crustal movement of the Secco plate has begun to slow down, and the sinking has basically stopped. It is estimated that the final sinking depth will stop at 4.37 kilometers." The geological research team quickly gave a reply.
"At this sinking depth, will the main lair of the star beast civilization be submerged by magma?" Admiral Rhodes asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Wensheng shook his head, and replied: "In the original plan, the sinking depth must reach at least 4.7 kilometers before the magma can flood the main lair of the star beast civilization. 5 kilometers is a more secure sinking depth."
In the original calculation, the sinking depth of the Secco plate must reach at least 4.7 kilometers to achieve the goal.
And the sinking depth of 4.7 kilometers is not safe.
Therefore, the planned sinking depth of the original plan was 5 kilometers.
However, now the Secco plate has only sunk 4.37 kilometers, which is still far from the minimum standard.
As long as the magma does not submerge the main nest of the star beast civilization, then the star beast civilization can still be delayed, and even slowly move the main nest.
Human beings cannot hold back the star beast civilization on this planet that is not suitable for human survival.
Time is not on the side of human beings, so whether the Secco plate can reach the original planned sinking depth will be the key to determining the fate of human beings.
...
All human armies are ready for the decisive battle, and the allied forces actively communicate with each other, waiting for the decisive battle.
Esby, the think tank consultant sent by White Eagle to the front line,
Request video communication with Admiral Rhodes.
After the video communication was connected, three people appeared on the screen.
In the middle is Doug Wayne, the new commander of the White Eagle Front, and the two next to him are Esby and Foreign Affairs Officer Horns Carter.
Esby was the first to speak, and praised: "There are indeed geniuses in your think tank, and the plan to sink the continental plate can be successful.
"Theoretically, after the Secco plate sinks, the main lair of the star beast civilization is destroyed, and it will definitely come out of the ground.
"However, judging from the current situation, there are not a large number of brain beasts coming out of the ground. I have reason to doubt whether your plan to sink the continental plate is really successful?"
Obviously, there are indeed talents in the White Eagle Think Tank.
Through the reaction of the star beast civilization, it is possible to infer the progress of the sinking plan of the continental plate.
Admiral Rhodes replied blankly: "The crustal movement is still going on, don't worry."
Doug Wayne, the new commander of the White Eagle, said in a deep voice: "Your explanation is very pale, according to the information just received by the intelligence department, your space battleship Shenzhou is operating at the southern end of the eastern mountain range of the Secco plate.
"If you didn't guess wrong, there should be a mistake in your actions.
"You should be clear that this is not a matter of your own country. It is related to the fate of all mankind. If you fail, you will be charged with using the planetary defense nuclear arsenal without permission, and you will become sinners of mankind!"
Regarding the deployment of the planetary defense nuclear arsenal, it is actually not difficult to deduce.
To sink the Secco plate, the required nuclear bomb yield must be huge.
It only takes a little analysis for Esby and his brain trust to figure out where so many nukes are coming from.
According to the provisions of the planetary defense nuclear arsenal, this is the nuclear arsenal belonging to all mankind.
Therefore, without a joint resolution of the Planetary Defense Council, it cannot be invoked privately.
However, since the current planetary defense nuclear arsenal is all used to supply the consumption of the Beastguard sky-based cannon, Donghai has actual control.
Calling this matter privately, like going online, will still become a crime that will be brought to a military court.
Of course, whether this matter will eventually become a crime depends on the result.
If the planetary defense nuclear arsenal is used to wipe out the star beast civilization, then no one dares to take it seriously.
However, once the plan to sink the continental plate fails, the result will be completely different.
At that time, someone needs to be responsible for the failure of the plan, and privately using the planetary defense nuclear arsenal will become a crime.
"This is not a matter of your own country..."
Doug Wayne's words made Admiral Rhodes laugh dumbly, and said, "You guys also know that this war is not a matter of one country?"
Since the beginning of this war, all countries in the world have their own minds, and there are very few countries that really participate in the war with all their strength. All of them are tied to the chariot by their interests.
Therefore, Fang Yuan sometimes has an illusion, as if this war is his own country singled out the star beast civilization.
Doug Wayne snorted coldly: "I will get the evidence that you have privately used the planetary defense nuclear arsenal. You'd better pray that your plan will succeed, otherwise, go to a military court to explain it!"
Admiral Rhodes' expression sank, and he responded: "General Doug, don't play your power games in the army.
"If this war is won, there is still hope for mankind. Once it is lost, the trembling of the earth is the last elegy of human civilization.
"At that time, you'd better use your court-martial to judge the higher civilizations. If they are willing to play this game with you."
Regarding White Eagle's new commander, Doug Wayne, his personal information had already been investigated clearly when he took office.
Therefore, Admiral Rhodes knew all his experiences.
This Doug Wayne was not a general killed out of the battlefield, but was promoted step by step through power operations in the military system.
In other words, Admiral Doug Wayne is not necessarily good at fighting, but he is really good at power struggles.
The think tank consultant Esby was more sober, and said aloud: "General Rhodes, what should be considered now is how to win this war.
"If you guessed correctly, your plan to sink the continental plate should have encountered a problem, right?"
The activities of the Shenzhou in the eastern mountains of the Secco plate can be known at a glance with satellites.
Therefore, it is not difficult to deduce the information that there is a problem with the sinking plan of the continental plate.
"An active brood of star beast civilization appeared at the southern end of the eastern mountain range, covering an area of more than 50 kilometers in diameter, which fixed the support arm of the plate, causing the sinking depth of the Secco plate to fail to meet expectations. We are actively looking for a solution. "
There is no need to hide this matter, so Admiral Rhodes said it directly.
It would be great if other human nations had a solution.
