Chapter 65: Humanity First
The words of Dr. Mizuno were like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone in the victory team, shaking their minds. Even the most dissatisfied Shinjou could not say anything to refute.
The increasingly frequent human activities have caused great damage to the original ecology of the earth. It is unknown how many creatures cannot adapt to this environmental change and perish.
Human beings pay more and more attention to the protection of the environment. They say they are saving the earth, but in fact they are saving humans themselves. The earth has existed for billions of years, and countless species have been born and perished. The environmental If it is bad, it will only lead to the extinction of species and will have no impact on the earth.
Whether it is protecting the ecological environment or protecting species diversity, ultimately it is for the continuation of humankind's own survival.
Those who demand that all factories be closed to restore the ecology, or that people are not allowed to eat meat and only eat vegetarian food, either have a brain problem or are just trying to attract attention.
The same is true when it comes to lightning people. The premise for humans to protect lightning people is that lightning people will not affect the survival of humans. Otherwise
just like Kakuma on Kuroshima, even on the island We have lived on the planet for many years, but as long as it poses a threat to human life and life safety, it will be eliminated. This is human priority.
Everyone knows these truths and there is no need to point them out.
But Dr. Mizuno still feels sad. The lightning people living in the ionosphere are a race that humans have never come into contact with. They are of extremely high value for studying the origin of life on earth and different life forms, but they have been exterminated by humans. , it’s simply a waste of natural resources.
Hui Jian, who was in the command room, had been listening to their conversation and asked Norui to send a cloud movement trajectory map to Dr. Mizuno, and then said: "Doctor, I understand your mood, but for now, Our first consideration is to protect the safety of citizens. The tragedy of Golzan in Akita must not happen again.”
Dr. Mizuno saw the newly received data packets, and TPC’s supercomputer calculated the trajectory of the cloud. If this continues, the cloud will collapse. will reach the sky above the metropolis.
There are thirty to forty million people living there. Even if the clouds don’t turn into monsters, such a strong magnetic field is enough to cause problems in many facilities in the metropolis, which will cause great harm to many people’s lives. The impact, such as the takeoff and landing of airplanes, would be to many people if something went wrong. If it turned into a monster, the casualties would be even more serious.
"Doctor, please return to the base." Munakata, as the on-site commander, also spoke, which means that there is no room for maneuver in this matter. TPC's first goal is to protect the safety of mankind. Only when it poses a threat to humans can you slowly observe and study it.
Dr. Mizuno closed his eyes in pain. He did not blame the Victory Team. After all, this is their job. If you really want to blame, blame all humans. It is humans who continue to use electromagnetic waves to create He killed this monster and caused this tragedy.
"Let's go." Dr. Mizuno whispered feebly, then sat on the chair with his head lowered and said nothing. His team also silently dropped the research materials, sat back in the chair, and fastened their seat belts. Waiting for the plane to return.
"Doctor." Horii wanted to go over and comfort his mentor, but the victory team was about to launch an attack and he couldn't leave at all. This made Horii blame himself extremely. It would take a long time for him to destroy his mentor with his own hands. The Lightning Man we just found was so inappropriate.
When the accompanying probe embarked on its return journey, Zong Fang took a deep breath and gave the order with great strength: "Start - attack -"
"Understood !" The team members answered in a low voice, and then the communication channel fell into silence. The team members drove the plane towards the direction of the clouds, and all kinds of weapons were unlocked and ready to attack. As the distance from the clouds increases, the radio interference also increases, until the communication with the headquarters is completely cut off. You can only barely hear the communication of the nearby Feiyan. The farther the distance is, the more blurry it becomes. The electromagnetic interference is really Too strong.
Therefore, the three Feiyans had to move closer to each other. While moving stationary relative to the clouds, Feiyan 1 began to attack, with missiles and lasers taking turns, while Feiyan 2 opened the central rail gun and gathered energy to launch the victory team. The strongest Texas beam currently available.
As soon as the missile rushed in, the guidance radar failed instantly, causing the missile to fly around like a headless fly. Finally, it was detonated. Countless shrapnel flew around, and the shock wave spread, making the surroundings a mess, but Yun The clouds did not change much. Obviously the missiles did not have much effect on the clouds.
But the laser caused a lot of damage to the cloud, causing the corner of the cloud that was attacked to dissipate, allowing the plasma energy contained in the cloud to escape into the air, and with the victory The team's continued attacks leaked more and more plasma energy.
After the Texas beam hit the cloud, the terrifying destructive power almost penetrated the cloud, and the plasma with extremely terrifying power levels spread, causing the surrounding plasma energy concentration to reach an exaggerated level. to the point where the clouds are shrinking rapidly like deflated balloons.
The second after the Texas beam hit the target, the originally interrupted communication with the headquarters suddenly resumed. Ye Rui’s excited voice came from the communicator built into the helmet: “The cloud seems to have been shot down. Its descent speed is accelerating and it is expected to fall off the coast of Chiba.”
"Great." Shinjo beamed and waved his fist in celebration. He finally eliminated this annoying Gazot. The nightmare of Mayumi crying in his arms would no longer appear, and no one would be angry because of it. get hurt.
"Don't be careless and continue tracking." Zongfang immediately reminded him, asking the victory team to follow the accelerating falling clouds to prevent accidents. After all, this is something that humans have never come into contact with. Any weird situation is normal.
Under the tracking and monitoring of the victory team, the clouds were shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the height was also decreasing rapidly, but Lina felt a little strange and said into the headset: "Command, This cloud seems to be gliding?"
"Gliding?" Zongfang was stunned and immediately shouted into the headset: "Yerui, recalculate the clouds. "
"Huh? Immediately." Ye Rui was stunned, then quickly asked the supercomputer to recalculate it, and then compared it with the calculated result, he was shocked and said: "Command, The landing point of the cloud extends more than 3,000 meters to the land, but it will still fall into the sea, possibly due to wind shear near the ground.”
Zongfang frowned, thought for two seconds, and said: "Daku, try using the microwave cannon."
"Understood!" Dagu immediately drove the plane to the top of the clouds and adjusted the speed to synchronize with the clouds, and then activated the microwave cannon.
