Kryptonian: Man of Steel - Chapter 1187
You know, America is most proud of its navy.
Since World War II, with its powerful naval force, they have not only maintained their position as the world’s maritime hegemon, but also become a beacon of human civilization, leading the forefront of world science and technology and military.
Those huge aircraft carrier formations, like moving land, cruise in every corner of the world, demonstrating America’s strength and confidence.
However, all this pride and glory seem so pale and powerless in the face of the sudden huge sea beast-Gatanjea.
“Mr. President, will the Air Force attack again?”
The voice of the staff officer seemed particularly heavy in the tense atmosphere.
“Attack!”
The president said, he knew that if this monster was not solved as soon as possible, America would face an unprecedented crisis, and even the extinction of the country and race.
The dignity of the country and the safety of the people depend on this battle.
In the air, two new bombers roared out, carrying the crystallization of human technology – thermobaric bombs. This is the latest weapon developed by the Research Institute. It can generate high temperature and high pressure in an instant, burning out the oxygen in the explosion range, forming a vacuum zone of death.
This weapon is so powerful that even a three-defense tank can hardly withstand it.
The bomber quickly approached Gatanjea’s head, and the pilots operated nervously, dropping the thermobaric bomb on the target.
Outside the visible range, the thermobaric bomb was detonated, and in an instant, a brand new “sun” rose on the sea surface, and the dazzling light and amazing high temperature instantly enveloped everything around.
The seawater was evaporated rapidly, forming a huge mushroom cloud of water vapor, covering the sky and the sun, as if it was nature’s response to human power.
“This is a thermobaric bomb added by the Research Institute. The instant high temperature and high pressure will turn even a three-defense tank into a pool of molten iron!”
An aide couldn’t help but say, but his tone was full of uncertainty.
After all, they were not facing an ordinary enemy, but a sea beast with ancient power and unknown abilities.
On the screen, a large amount of water vapor blocked everyone’s sight, making it impossible for them to directly observe Gatanjea’s reaction.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room became extremely tense, and everyone held their breath, fearing that they would miss any details. However, before the water vapor completely dissipated, the expert’s report had been submitted.
The president took the report and quickly flipped through it.
His face became more and more solemn, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
According to the high-resolution data of the scanned outline and satellite images, Gatanjea’s huge body still stood firm in the aftermath of the explosion, and its structure remained extremely intact, with no obvious signs of damage.
This discovery undoubtedly cast a heavy shadow on the hearts of everyone present.
The thermobaric bomb they had high hopes for, a weapon that was theoretically enough to cause a devastating blow to large creatures, turned out to be useless against this giant beast from the deep sea!
On the monitoring screen, the huge Gatanjea slowly poked its head out from under the water vapor mushroom cloud. Its body was still huge and majestic, and its shell was shining with a strange luster in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The earth-shattering explosion just now seemed to be just a trivial episode in its long life, and it didn’t even cause skin injuries.
The president stood in the command center, staring at the screen with a serious look, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, and said firmly to the microphone: “As the rulers of this land under our feet, we can’t do nothing, and we must not watch the monster invade our land. Our country and people need our protection, and we must fight to the end!”
“Admiral, our attack must not stop! According to the plan, continue to invest in new weapons to attack! No matter how much it costs, we must expel this sea beast!”
The president ordered.
“Understood, Mr. President.”
The voice of the admiral sounded on the other end of the phone.
Although they have found that the current technological weapons are still difficult to fight against this sea beast, this is not a reason for the American military to give up the attack.
On the contrary, they are more determined to develop more powerful weapons.
A heavy laser system that was urgently transferred here from a highly confidential laboratory was slowly adjusted to the optimal firing angle under the tense gaze of the crowd.
This laser system integrates the most cutting-edge optical technology and energy conversion technology. Its original design was to deal with extreme threats that are difficult to reach or have limited effects on traditional weapons.
With a low roar, a blazing beam that almost solidified the air cut through the night sky and accurately bombarded the unknown creature called “Gatanjea”.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@@书@@吧!! Update!
The moment the laser beam touched it, it did arouse a dazzling reflected light, as if the stars briefly shone in the night sky.
However, due to the short contact time and the fact that the power of the laser system had not yet reached the theoretical maximum value, the beam only left a shallow scorch mark on the outer shell of Gatanjea and failed to cause substantial damage to it.
Although this attack was short and did not cause substantial damage, it unexpectedly touched Gatanjea’s sensitive nerves.
Its huge body shook slightly, and then purple energy rays spewed out from its mouthparts.
Almost instantly, it hit the expensive heavy laser system that condensed the efforts of countless scientists.
Accompanied by a sharp sound of metal twisting, the shell of the laser system was torn like paper, and the delicate components inside quickly melted under high temperature and high pressure, and finally turned into a pile of scrap metal, announcing its tragic curtain call.
“Laser weapons… seem to be very fearful of that monster!”
A general in camouflage combat uniform whispered to the people beside him.
There was both expectation and worry in his tone. Obviously, he had hope for the first actual combat application of this new weapon, but he was also well aware of the uncertainty.
“However, laser weapons are still very immature.”
A gray-haired, sharp-eyed weapons expert took over the conversation and shook his head slightly, “Especially in terms of power output, our existing technology is far from meeting theoretical expectations. Even this heavy laser system that was urgently transferred can only barely penetrate some thinner armor with its output power. For creatures like Gatanjea, the effect is minimal.”
“Although our current laser system can theoretically achieve extremely high energy density and focusing accuracy, in practical applications, its power is still too small due to factors such as energy supply, beam stability, and atmospheric interference. To truly pose a threat to behemoths like Gatanjea, we still need to achieve a breakthrough in technology.”
