Chapter 148 It turns out that technology is no less powerful than magic.
Outside the atmosphere.
The three DF-15C missiles have completed their climb and attitude adjustment.
In a near-vacuum environment, they turned their warheads and locked onto three precise coordinate points provided by the BeiDou satellite and quantum navigation system.
The next second, the rear engine ignited again.
The three missiles transformed into three meteors, hurtling vertically towards the ground of Terra at speeds exceeding Mach 10, carrying kinetic energy capable of tearing everything apart.
Whether they were demons or humans, they only saw something flash down, as if it were an illusion.
There was no violent explosion, no dazzling flames, only a bottomless crater left in the ground.
The moment the first bunker buster warhead touched the ground, its incredibly sturdy nano-tungsten alloy warhead, fueled by terrifying kinetic energy, cut like a red-hot knife into butter.
Soil, rocks, strata... are as fragile as paper in its presence.
The intense friction between the projectile and the rock strata generated high temperatures that instantly vaporized the surrounding material, creating a temporary vacuum channel that further reduced drilling resistance.
One hundred meters!
Two hundred meters!
Two hundred and ten meters!
In less than a second, the missile traversed the distance that would take the earth dragon time to burrow, and appeared precisely above the earth dragon.
The earth dragon, which was moving at full speed, only felt a black, sharp cone-shaped object exuding an aura of death break through the rock layer and appear in its perception.
It was just over ten meters above its head!
It didn't even have time to react; inside the warhead, the delayed fuse activated.
"boom--!!!"
A deep, muffled roar, seemingly capable of shaking the soul, suddenly exploded 210 meters underground.
The violent energy of the high-energy composite explosive was completely confined within the narrow tunnel, without any leakage.
With sufficient destructive power, the bunker-buster missile does not need to be equipped with cubic nitrogen explosives to form a strategic strike capability that is "deep-penetrating, detonating powerfully, and undefendable".
Otherwise, the seismic waves alone would be too much for people on the surface to handle.
The shockwave surged back and forth in the tunnel, and the pressure instantly soared to an astronomical level.
The massive fifth-tier earth dragon, along with its indestructible alloy teeth, was instantly compressed, torn apart, and vaporized by this terrifying internal explosion.
Its massive body couldn't even withstand the pressure for a millisecond before turning into minced meat, deformed along with the surrounding rocks by the immense pressure and impact.
A devastating chain reaction spread wildly backward along the narrow tunnel.
The countless elite demons following behind the earth dragon were as if they had been swept into a high-pressure furnace.
Before they even understood what was happening, they were engulfed by the violent shockwave and ultra-high-temperature magma, their bodies instantly carbonized and decomposed.
The entire tunnel, several kilometers long and dug by the earth dragon, along with all the monsters inside, was transformed in that instant into a massive tomb buried deep underground.
Above the earth's surface.
The soldiers on the Da Xia position suddenly felt a violent, vertical tremor coming from the ground beneath their feet.
"Thump!"
The feeling was like a giant from deep within the earth, smashing it hard with a hammer.
Many of the soldiers who were firing stumbled and nearly fell.
Immediately afterwards, two more muffled thuds came from two other directions.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Three powerful seismic waves came from deep underground, causing the entire steel fortress to shake as if a magnitude 6 or 7 earthquake had occurred.
However, because the explosion occurred extremely deep underground, the energy was absorbed by the thick strata.
When it reached the ground, apart from violent shaking, it did not cause any substantial damage.
After the tremors subsided, everything returned to calm.
Inside the command vehicle.
The soldier stared intently at his screen. After three violent energy bursts, the seismic wave signal that had represented the earth dragon completely disappeared.
The entire detection network was completely silent.
He took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and roared with all his might:
"Report! Seismic wave signals from three targets... have completely disappeared!"
"Repeat, target movement terminated!"
"The underground threat... has been eliminated!"
The series of victories finally brought a smile to the usually indifferent Long Zhan's face.
"Continue underground monitoring," he continued, issuing the order.
The ruthless and efficient war machine continues to operate.
Behind them, Kyle, Elder Muyu, and Fendona, who had been anxiously waiting, were completely dumbfounded.
If the missile that previously sent up a mushroom cloud brought them a visual shock akin to divine punishment, then...
At this moment, the attack effortlessly wiped out three fifth-tier behemoths hidden hundreds of meters underground.
What it brought them was incomprehensible fear.
"This...this is impossible..." Kyle's body trembled slightly; this archmage of the holy human race was filled with bewilderment in his voice.
"How...how did you...see them?"
"How do we fight the enemy underground?"
In his understanding, no one, except for high-level earth-type spirits, could subdue earth dragons.
Once they burrow underground, they enter an invincible realm.
But now, the people of Daxia not only "saw" them, but also "shot" them to death from the sky in a way he couldn't understand.
This is not magic at all!
Seeing his shocked expression, Lin Mo stepped forward and chuckled:
"The principle is actually very simple. We just put a lot of 'ears' on the ground, which can hear any tiny movement underground."
He pointed to the 3D terrain map on the screen.
"As long as they are moving, we can hear them. If we can hear them, we can naturally see them."
"As for attacks..." Lin Mo grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
"We have a special 'drill' for cracking nuts; it's heavier and drills deeper."
Kyle: "???"
Fendona: "..."
Elder Muyu: "!!!"
An underground ear? A drill bit?
These simple, almost primitive words, spoken by Lin Mo, combined to create a picture that the two top figures of Terra were unable to comprehend.
Listen to the pulse deep within the earth with your "ears," and slay the ghosts underground with a "drill" that falls from the sky.
Looking at the harmless smile on Lin Mo's face, Elder Mu Yu felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Does the Elven forest, once a hidden haven, still hold any meaning in the face of these ubiquitous drone "eyes" and underground "ears"?
Fendona stared blankly at Lin Mo.
The impact on her little head was even greater, so much so that she barely spoke the whole way, completely stunned.
This had a profound impact on her young mind.
It turns out that technology is no less powerful than magic.
