Chapter 84 Doomsday (3)
"Captain, the commander of the wing has sent an order to fully rescue the friendly forces."
The liaison officer's words woke him up, and Alfred glanced at the Epsilon ruins standing like a solitary peak, and instructed loudly: "Leave the remains of the two frigate cells, and the rest of the ships, dispatch all transport aircraft and shuttles to give I did my best to rescue those soldiers of the 3789th Division."
"Yes." The herald took the order.
Alfred let out a long sigh and glanced at the data report gathered by the intelligence officer in his hands, feeling that something was wrong.
The scene outside the porthole is not only in the 3789 division base, but the entire northern hemisphere, and even the southern hemisphere, the North Pole and South Pole, are being staged. This is an extremely rare super earthquake that affects the entire planet.
At this moment, in the face of the doomsday-level disaster, the excavation of the ruins and the containment of Tang Fang and others have been downgraded to secondary tasks, and the rescue of the sergeants of the 3789th Division has become the primary goal. Because even Lieutenant General Austin did not dare to bear the infamy of his opponent's soldiers. The ruins are there, and there will be no two-legged running. Those enemies are under the frigate's cell, and even if they have wings, they will not be able to escape the sky above Nami.
Although Alfred had prepared for the worst, he could never have imagined that this was not an earthquake, but the real apocalypse, Nami's! Also, theirs!
A magma fountain with a radius of tens of meters rose rapidly, and after melting a shuttle machine into iron slag, it continued to rise, like a coquettish young woman in a red dress, with incomparable enthusiasm, Kiss on the ass of a Dogfish-class frigate. The magma flow of up to 1500 degrees was like a wave, and it directly threw the frigate into the air, like a kite out of control.
Affected by the explosion, a large hole was blasted on the port side of the destroyer, and the strong pressure difference brought one crew member with a disfigured face one after another, throwing them into the series of explosions of the frigate, or into the frequent eruptions of magma. Fountains, or simply dropped into the nether, smashed into a puddle of mashed meat and baked into colorful pizza rolls.
Within a hundred miles, the narrowest fissure has expanded to ten meters, and the scalding magma is like a surging ocean, beating the disintegrating plates wave after wave. The underground part gradually melted, and those scattered boulders really became isolated islands, floating and sinking with the churning magma.
The strength, diameter, and energy of the magma fountain are getting stronger and stronger. Looking at the energy fluctuation readings on the scanner, and the anxious faces of the crew members, Alfred's heart sank a little. Is this really just a super earthquake?
As soon as the thought fell, another magma flow lifted into the air, and its jet speed was close to the speed of sound, and the impact range was also a terrifying 100 meters.
The white flames brushed against the starboard side, and a dogfish-class frigate was engulfed in half by the scattered magma, and then blew it away like a baseball.
...
In just 20 minutes, Nami Xing was in a precarious situation. The destruction continues, the death spreads, and the data streams from orbiting satellites are full of death reports.
Most of those who survived the battle by chance did not have time to drink a sip of hot tea, sip a sip of spirits, or even smoke a cigarette.
Destiny really likes to tease people too much.
In the conference room of the "Zeus" aircraft carrier of the Thunder Fleet, Austin and his staff gathered together.
Austin was speechless,
Only the twitching eyebrows showed the restlessness in his heart. The staff members were silent, not daring to speak.
retreat? Failed? The main fleet of the dignified Prince Walker Stewart, not only did not get the slightest benefit, but instead joined a marine division. I don't know how many people will lose their teeth from laughing, and I don't know how many people will lose their heads because of this, even Austin will never feel good.
Not to mention that His Royal Highness cannot accept such a result, and His Majesty the Emperor will never let it go. Returning to her parents’ home with their tails tucked in like this may preserve the strength of the fleet, but the commanding hierarchy will inevitably suffer a major purge.
Is life important? Or is the fleet important? Who will be the scapegoat afterwards? I'm afraid no one here wants to!
Stick to your post and wait for the disaster to subside? In the face of such a massive geological activity, God knows if the ruins can escape the disaster? Moreover, after reading the briefing report sent by the geological exploration ship, everyone has a worry that makes people feel uneasy just thinking about it, but in the face of the angry Austin who pretends to be calm and calm, People dare to say it.
"General, the data has been compiled." The intelligence officer in the corner did not dare to take a breath, and his voice was very low.
Austin said without looking back: "Come here."
"Yes." The intelligence officer swiped his index finger, and the holographic projection instrument in the center of the conference table drew a graph in mid-air, along with Nami's energy fluctuation data during this period, as well as geological exploration experts' comments on the current situation. evaluation of.
Looking at the radiant energy reading in a step-by-step manner in front of them, everyone's eyes widened.
How is this possible? In just three or five minutes, the energy level of the Nami star's core has soared more than ten times, as if... as if more than a hundred super-high-yield fusion bombs were injected.
Nami is an ancient planet, and most of the fission elements as far as the earth's core have been completely reacted. However, now it is actually alive again, as if someone had injected a shot of adrenalin for this old man. Reinvigorated.
If it continues to increase at the rate shown on the graph, then...then it will die, and it will be burst alive by the violent energy reaction of the earth's core.
Austin's forehead has a layer of fine sweat, and the hands clenched on the table are a little white, which proves that he is very nervous, more anxious than leading a big battle.
"Tell me, what do you guys think?"
"General, withdraw, Nami can't keep it anymore." After a moment of silence, an officer with gray temples stood up and said slowly. That was the fleet's deputy chief of staff, Commodore Rodio, the oldest staff officer under the Prince's command.
Austin took a deep breath and turned to look at the intelligence officer in the corner: "Has the situation of Nami Xing changed?"
The young intelligence officer did not know whether it was due to the solemn pressure of the conference room, or was frightened by the greatly increased fluctuation value, a bead of sweat the size of a bean dripped from his cheeks: "Tell... report to the general, the value is still... still It's climbing, nearly double what it was just..."
"What? Double!" The whole group was in an uproar. It nearly doubled in just one minute.
In the face of such a situation, no one in the conference room has any illusions. Today's Nami star is still a sweet pastry, it is just a time bomb tied to the waist, maybe it will explode in a second. .
"General, don't hesitate, withdraw." One staff member after another persuaded: "If it's too late, I'm afraid the entire fleet will be affected. At that time... at that time..."
The rest need not be said, everyone understands.
"Pass my order, the Tiger Shark Wing will return immediately, and the other Wings will turn around and enter the retreat sequence." After saying a word, Austin seemed to have drained all his strength and collapsed on the seat.
As for the others, they breathed a sigh of relief.
The same scene also appeared in the bridge command room of the aircraft carrier "Shine" of the Saint Violet Fleet.
