Chapter 487 Successful Target Strike, Lunar Project Ready
Mars dared not let the nuclear missile launcher enter the tunnel ahead of time.
The lessons learned from the past are too profound.
If the attack from the Great Summer arrives first, and the missiles detonate in the tunnel, the Freedom will be truly finished.
Nuclear bombs are running low, and the raw materials for their manufacture are almost exhausted; each one is a matter of life and death.
The nuclear missile vehicle can only move once the air defense system is firmly established on the ground and its safety is confirmed.
"How's the road paving progressing?" Mars asked.
"We expect to complete the last section of the ramp in 30 minutes."
Thirty minutes.
Mars's gaze returned to the main screen.
The special excavator has completely driven out of the ground, its tracks rolling over the frozen soil, and is slowly moving forward to make room for subsequent vehicles.
In the gray and white world, only this one car was moving.
It was eerily quiet.
Mars stared at the screen, his pupils contracting slightly, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
Because last time, it was just as quiet, and then the missiles came.
"Speed up." His voice was strained.
"Tell the paving team that it must be completed within twenty minutes."
"yes!"
The soldier turned and relayed the order.
Inside the command center, everyone's breathing became shallow and light.
No one spoke; only the hum of the equipment and the dull thud of construction vehicles rolling over the road came from the speakers.
Ten minutes passed.
There are no missiles.
Twenty minutes passed.
There are still no missiles.
Mars' breathing gradually became heavy, and a near-mad light appeared in his eyes.
"Road paving progress!"
"Report: Only 20 meters left! Estimated time: 6 minutes!"
Six minutes.
Just hold on for another six minutes!
As soon as the anti-aircraft vehicle went up, Da Xia's missiles came, but at least there was hope of interception!
He refused to believe that saturation interception couldn't stop a bunker-buster missile!
If we can hold on, the US nuclear missile truck will be deployed.
He wanted to make the Great Xia experience the pain of the Eagle Kingdom in the two underground cities of Tianxiong and Tianyong in Antarctica!
At this point, there is no room for negotiation, bargaining, or strategic checks and balances.
It's a fight to the death!
Mars's face was contorted in rage.
"Notify the nuclear weapons crew to start the engines and be ready to deploy!"
"yes!"
The order was passed down, and deep within the underground city, fourteen missile launchers simultaneously ignited, the roar of their engines transmitted to the command center via the communication channel.
The paving trucks rumbled forward, their wheels rolling over the gravel road surface, getting closer and closer to the exit.
"Report!" The paving workers' voices, brimming with barely suppressed excitement, came through the communication channel.
"The road surface is now complete—"
Before he could finish speaking...
The screen flickered suddenly.
Mars' pupils suddenly contracted.
In the scene, a white line streaks across the gray-white sky at an incredible speed.
So fast it's almost impossible to catch.
But the camera still faithfully recorded those last few tenths of a second.
A missile with a bright white trail of flame plume plume fell straight down.
The screen shook violently, and then there was a flurry of static.
Three seconds later.
A muffled explosion came from deep underground, amplifying layer by layer along the tunnel structure, like a giant beast roaring deep within the earth's crust.
The entire underground city trembled violently.
The overhead light tubes swayed a few times, and one of them shattered, sending shards of glass crashing onto the control panel.
The command center was deathly silent.
Everyone froze in place, their expressions shifting from anticipation to blankness.
"Channel signal..." the technician's lips trembled.
"...interrupted."
"Tunnel structure monitoring... 50% collapse!"
"Excavators, paving vehicles, air raid shelters... all have lost contact."
It's gone, it's gone again.
The tunnel thirty kilometers away, the completely opposite directions, the spiral structure, the road surface—all the meticulous calculations, all the clever tricks…
The Great Xia was completely destroyed with just one missile.
Mars's fingers clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.
He was hunched over, head down, shoulders heaving violently, looking just like a wild beast trapped in a cage.
"Fuck!!!"
With a roar, Mars overturned the file rack in front of him.
Paper, pens, and water cups flew out with a clatter, shattering on the ground.
His eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged from his neck all the way to his forehead.
"Damn Great Xia, they all deserve to go to hell!!"
"I swear, once we get out of here, they'll regret their actions for the rest of their lives!!"
No one dared to answer.
Inside the command center, only Mars' heavy breathing could be heard.
He slowly straightened up, his gaze sweeping across the completely black surveillance screen.
"Keep digging."
His voice was hoarse and low, yet carried a hint of obsession.
"For the third tunnel, change direction and continue digging!"
"When we're close to breaking through to the surface, we should first dig a small tunnel to send out small drones and try to make contact with the other dungeons to see what's going on with them."
"I just don't believe it..."
He gritted his teeth and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"The Great Xia could simply trap us to death!"
......
Tian Shu Underground City, Command Center.
"Target successfully engaged!"
The soldier clenched his fist and shouted.
On the main screen, a white line descends from the sky and disappears into the ground next to the Eagle Kingdom Tunnel.
The screen froze for a few seconds.
Immediately, a cloud of dust rose from the ground!
The grayish-white frozen soil looked as if it had been kicked from below, the entire ground rose up and then crashed back down, raising a cloud of dust that blotted out the sky.
Even without confirming the effects of the underground attack, the shockwave alone could have shattered the internal organs of the workers in the engineering vehicle that had just driven out of the cave.
A cheer erupted from the command center.
Lin Mo stood at the back, watching the dust and mist slowly dissipate on the screen, and smiled slightly.
With the United States trapped underground, this thorn in their side can be put to rest for now.
After understanding the general situation in all regions of the globe, he greeted Han Niba and then turned to leave the command center.
......
A new day dawns.
Lin Mo was having breakfast at work when his phone rang.
Secretary Li's voice was very energetic:
"Commander Lin, the vacuum site leading to the moon has been completed. When would be a convenient time for you?"
Lin Mo chewed on a steamed bun and mumbled a reply:
"I'm free now, come over."
"Okay, the car will be there in ten minutes."
The phone hangs up.
Lin Mo continued to finish the remaining steamed buns and drank the piping hot, freshly ground soy milk.
Ten minutes later, the SUV stopped right outside the building.
The convoy traveled northeast along the main road of the underground city. After about ten minutes, a giant metal gate appeared ahead.
It's at least half a meter thick, with a gray anti-corrosion paint coating. Two industrial spotlights are welded above the door frame, their white light illuminating the entire door until it shines brightly.
Secretary Li got out of the car, took out an access card, and swiped it on the access control terminal.
"drop--"
A dull hydraulic hum rang out as the giant metal door slowly slid open to the sides, revealing the space behind it.
Secretary Li introduced the event as she walked:
"This place was originally planned as a secret research base. The outer shell construction is complete, but the internal functions have not yet been determined."
"The leader's idea is that since it's just sitting empty anyway, why not turn it into a lunar transit station?"
