I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 1469: An Invincible Shield

“A proactive businessman should have a loop-free contract, but also an invincible armor,” Jiang Chen looked at the dome that shrouded the entire city and the mushroom cloud that gradually dispersed. From corners of his lips turned up, he seemed to be smiling, then he raised his wine glass to the sky outside, “Cheers to our victory.”

The mushroom cloud slowly scattered above the Holy Shield.

The air current generated by the weather weapon would gently carry the dust formed at an altitude of 20 kilometers above Coro City toward the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

Radiation dust was an issue, but Xin did not have to deal with it. The weather weapon would return the nasty dust through the Pacific Rim monsoon back to the UA intact. As for the dust that remained, Future Heavy Industries and Future Biology would clean it up.

Of course, it would be the UA war reparations that paid for the clean-up costs.

Natasha stood next to Jiang Chen with her neck extended. She stared at the curtain of light above the city, dumbfounded.

“What is that?”

“That is a shield.” After he put the wine glass down, Jiang Chen smiled, crossed his fingers over his knees, and said in a casual nonchalant tone, “The spear that can penetrate it does not exist in this world right now.”

The last time he came back from the apocalypse, he brought back two things.

One thing was the weather weapon.

As for the other thing, it was naturally the Holy Shield system.

“…I finally know why you are so calm now,” Natasha muttered as she continued to stare at the sky in a daze.

“Thank you for the compliment,” Jiang Chen laughed, “By the way, I enjoyed the expression on your face.”

“…But how do you defend against an attack on the space elevator?” When Natasha saw the subtle but mischievous smile on Jiang Chen’s face, she couldn’t stop blushing when she recalled how she had persuaded Jiang Chen to go to Moscow a few days ago. She was not ready to admit defeat yet as she said, “Your space elevator is 36,000 kilometers long. How are you going to defend against NATO missile attacks?”

“36,000 kilometers is indeed very long, but our laser air defense array is not weak either,” Jiang Chen smiled and continued, “Think about it, if they plan to rely on numbers to break through our laser air defense array, what kind of missile do you think they will use?”

Although he phrased it as a question, there was obviously only one answer.

The UA top military command would certainly not choose an intercontinental missile with heavy combat components, because that missile would be an easy target for Celestial Trade’s laser air defense array. If the goal was to rely on quantity to breakthrough Celestial Trade’s air defense, then the best choice would be the BGM-109C, Tomahawk cruise missile, with moderate range, moderate power, and relatively moderate cost!

“Did you forget that the five aircraft carrier battle groups have arrived near the Mariana Islands?” Natasha gave Jiang Chen a suspicious look. “They are fully capable of launching hundreds of Tomahawks into your space elevator at the same time.”

“Aircraft carrier battle groups?” After he took the refilled wine glass from Ayesha, he smiled nonchalantly, “If they still exist in this world, they can indeed do this.”

“Are you!” Natasha looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief, and her mouth was wide open, “…but, how is this possible?! That’s five aircraft carrier battle groups! Even…”

Even if the Guardian-class frigate modified with electromagnetic pulse cannon was powerful enough, it would be an exaggeration to believe Celestial Trade navy could match against five aircraft carrier battle groups. Not to mention, all the submarines of Celestial Trade were in the Caribbean at the moment.

“Even if there are more than 70 fishes in the Pacific Ocean, it’ll take some time to fish them out, right?” Jiang Chen laughed and shook his head, “But for nature, it is not difficult to destroy five aircraft carrier battle groups at the same time.”

For nature?

Natasha was taken aback for a moment and didn’t understand the meaning of Jiang Chen’s words immediately.

“There is only one advantage of using force to solve the problem.”

Jiang Chen ended the previous topic with a sentence with unclear meaning without further explaining.

He used his finger to click on the holographic screen of his watch, pressed two buttons on the screen randomly, then turned it off. He continued to look at the still clear night sky with a smile, then he softly said.

“That is to get an immediate response.”

Since it was Mr. Pence who first pressed the nuclear button.

Then no matter what he did now, no one would consider his response to be excessive.

…

“5”

“4”

“3”

“2”

“1”

“0”

“Launch.”

The two launch buttons were pressed down simultaneously.

The blinding electric arc flickered for an instant, and a silver wire as thin as a toothpick separated from the small ship sailing around the synchronous orbit.

It was so slender, so minuscule, and as light as a feather. Compared with the land under it and the universe behind it, it was so insignificant that everyone would ignore its existence.

But at the moment it made contact with the atmosphere, the silver line began to shine, and instantly turned into a hundred-meter-long fire dragon, like a second Sun rising from the horizon, it roared and screamed towards the land underneath. The scorching high temperature melted the ablation material on its surface. Even the strong and high-temperature resistant titanium alloy material started to deteriorate, and it gradually peeled back the tungsten rod…

That tungsten rod!

Under the action of the built-in gyroscope, it formed a straight line with the coordinate to be hit.

Its speed was too fast.

So fast that it only appeared on the radar of W State Air Force Base for a second.

And when the people standing directly under it finally discovered the “redundant” Sun, everything was already over.

The fire touched the ground, and no echo was heard in space. A cross-shaped crack was permanently engraved on the blue planet, followed by a vortex-like collapse that turned the plain into a basin, the basin was then filled to form a hill. The flames of tens of thousands of degrees burned on the withered grass, and the raging shock wave swept through everything and turned everything into carbon; turned everything into ruins…

The rolling shockwave swept across the earth and brought sand and dust over the town hundreds of kilometers away. The farmer sitting on the tractor slightly raised his head as if he was wondering what the light was just now. People ran from their home to the street, then looked at each other in shock. They thought there was an earthquake.

However, it was not until half an hour later that they learned from the town’s broadcast, Facebook, and Twitter on their phones, what happened to the W State Air Force Base less than 50 kilometers away from them, and other military bases in the UA that stocked strategic nuclear weapons…

The button was pressed down countless times.

Tungsten-rod projectiles were fired from the cannon of the SS Expedition in a burst of dazzling white light.

This weapon that was originally designed for the Devil Worm and the Spitter had been used to slaughter the same kind. Fortunately, it was a war to end all wars. It would be the last time such a weapon was used on humans…

Hopefully.

Pacific Strategic Weapons Facility, Andrews Air Force Base, Warren Air Force Base, New Mexico Air Force Base, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota Plant, Bucks Air Force Base, Ellsworth Air Force Base, Missouri Strategic Weapons Facility…

For over a year, Ghost Agents, with the help of KGB agents, collected this list.

All military facilities that stored or were suspected of storing nuclear weapons were included in the bombing range of the kinetic bombardment weapon. Whether this military base was located in the wilderness or in the downtown area of a small town, from the moment President Pence pressed the nuclear button, the assessment of civilian casualties had been removed from the assessment of orbital bombardment.

In the center of the bridge of SS Expedition.

Reflected in his eyes was a sea of fire, the Captain of Expedition stood below a holographic screen like a sculpture, with calmness and poise between his eyebrows.

In front of him, there were images taken by the observation satellite aerial. Each image corresponded to a military base, and each cluster of flame corresponded to a dead life.

Of the fifty military bases included in the strike range, not all of them were stocked with nuclear warheads, but as long as they were stocked with nuclear warheads or other strategic weapons, most of them were baptized by a second bombardment.

At this time, his deputy walked up to him and performed a clean salute.

“The Celestial Marines are ready to depart!”

The captain nodded slowly, then raised his arm to look at his watch.

A fierce look appeared in the eyes under the brim of the general’s hat.

He spoke.

“Seventh and Eighth Orbital Airborne Brigades, Ninth Power Armor Brigades, all ground combat units enter the launch port.”

“Coordinates, Capital, UA.”

“Execute the airborne mission!”
