Chapter 109: Precious Jade vs. Decayed Wood – Why So Lofty, Yet Not Ascending to the Heavens?

    Logs being shot out, of course, can't be for people to watch up close.

    It's not about whether it leaks or not, but there is a certain level of safety risk with the launch of this thing.

    Let's not say it, but the flames and high-pressure steam jetted out after launch are not something the human body can withstand.

    This is something that almost everyone who understands the principle of blackfish launching logs knows.

    Therefore, there is no doubt about Qinshan.

    Even if Qinshan doesn't say anything, they can't stay where they are either, after all, who can guarantee that the log launch will be a hundred percent successful?

    In the history of Blue Star, whether it's the Black Eagle Village or the Polar Bear Village, there have not been just one or two failed examples of submerged log launch.

    Even without the mushroom head, just the weight of the logs itself that falls from the sky is enough to be deadly!

    Who dares to stay where they are under this circumstance?

    Although they couldn't stay and watch from the original location, nearly all the media on site had set up their long and short guns far away, aiming at the Blackfish above Dock Number Five.

    The live broadcast can be seen, and even may be clearer than their camera shooting, but in any case, that is the Dragon Village's own live broadcast, compared with the Dragon Village's live broadcast, they would rather believe in their own shooting.

    Not only the media on site, at the same time, across the ocean, in the round table conference room of the Black and White Eagle Village, each member of the round table team and the technical staff were watching intently at the screen displaying the Chiwen (a mythical dragon-like creature) through video footage from on-site cameras and satellite imagery.

    Previously, the Qingzhou Port was strictly sealed off, especially after Suheng presented the【Disguise-Breaker】. Almost all satellite and reconnaissance aircraft were unable to detect any information inside Qingzhou Port.

    However, this time, for the convenience of allowing the world to watch, whether it's the【Disguise-Breaker】or other real disguises, almost all have been removed.

    Everything at the entire pier was clearly visible through the lens of the satellite...

    Ten minutes, which may not be long, but may not be short either.

    As the pointer of time passed the last node, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the CW105 number Chinese dragon-shaped head blackfish standing quietly on dock number five, with its smooth back perfectly intact and flawless, two circular gaps silently emerged. Then two huge launch well hatch covers silently opened.

    Watching the slowly opening hatches, the members of the Round Table Team looked as solemn as water.

    Among the Round Table Team members, various technical department staff began to measure and estimate the Chinese dragon-shaped head on the screen with their hands.

    “Based on the comparison between human bodies and other real objects on site, the preliminary judgment is that the length of the Chinese dragon-shaped head blackfish matches that published by Long Village...”

    “It's impossible to determine the hull structure, and we can't ascertain the specific displacement...”

    “The hull is perfectly integrated, with no observable flaws, and we cannot determine the specific number of launch wells...”

    “Based on the specifications of the two open launch wells, the preliminary estimation of the diameter of the launch well of the Chinese dragon-shaped head blackfish is two meters...”

    Under the estimations of various professionals, one after another piece of data was continuously uttered by the technical staff present.

    At the same time, the Qingzhou Port site—

    "Report! CW105 is ready for launch. NH-5, XH-2 are all normal. Please instruct! !"

    A resounding and powerful voice echoed suddenly in the square.

    "Ready for launch!"

    On the high platform, Qinshan spoke without any hesitation.

    "Yes!"

    Upon receiving a positive answer, the commander at Qinshan's front immediately understood.

    Not long after that, the loud countdown voice rang out directly in everyone's ears:

    "Coordinates 1204-2577, 955-345..."

    "Countdown!"

    "Ten..."

    "Nine..."

    ...

    "Three..."

    "Two..."

    "One..."

    "Launch!!"

    With the sound, everyone's breath involuntarily stalled.

    Until the last digit of the countdown is over.

    Boom!!!!!

    A fierce flame erupted suddenly from the launch wells!

    Shortly after, a huge object with a diameter of nearly two meters rose directly from the launch well!

    Under the gazes of countless eyes, it wasn't long before the huge object rose into the sky!

    "Goddamn it!"

    "Fall down!!"

    "Fall down!!"

    Watching the increasingly ascending massive object, representatives from the Black and White Eagle Village, the Eastern Island Village, and the Western Bay Village clenched their teeth tightly.

    Especially the representatives from the Eastern Island Village and the Western Bay Village, they couldn't help but bite their teeth in anger.

    However, within a moment, the log that blasted into the sky was directly shot out towards the distance, and then disappeared in the clouds...

    "Asshole!"

    Watching the completely disappeared log, the representative from the Western Bay Village clenched his teeth even tighter, and the jealousy on his face was completely unmasked.

    Why do they not have what should be theirs, which is the best group in Blue Star? Why does Long Village have what they do not?

    At the same time, the representative from the Eastern Island Village next to the representative from the Western Bay Village was also staring with an iron-blue face.

    A trace of poisonous envy slowly passed through their eyes.

    "Goddamn it! These should all belong to us, the Big Eastern Island Nation!"

    ...

    Boom!!!!!

    Just as the representatives from the Western Bay Village and the Eastern Island Village were full of resentment and anger, another loud boom echoed abruptly!

    Subsequently, under the gaze of countless eyes, another massive figure shot out of another launch well!

    "NH-5 submerged log launch, estimated diameter of the projectile 1.8 meters, length 10 meters..."

    "Speed 0.1 Mach...0.2 Mach...1 Mach...2 Mach..."

    "The XH-2 submerged hypersonic intercontinental ballistic missile, estimated diameter of the warhead 0.6 meters, length 6 meters, with a polyhedral body structure..."

    In the round table conference room of the Black and White Eagle Village, one sound after another was also continuously ringing.

    "NH-5 submerged log launch has entered the atmosphere, current height of 325000 meters, speed of 15 Mach...the speed is still rising..."

    The screens in front of everyone gradually changed.

    From the initial clear image, it became radar point display.

    At the beginning, XH-2 and NH-5 could be captured because their speed was too slow and they were locked by satellites and cameras at the beginning.

    After both began to accelerate, it wasn't long before they exceeded the range of the satellite and camera shots.

    Even satellites high in the sky have been unable to track and photograph them!

    Although the reconnaissance satellites of the Black and White Eagle Village are advanced, they are not yet advanced enough to capture hypersonic weapons!

    Currently, the only thing the Black and White Eagle Village can use to continuously track the two missiles is radar!

    Fortunately, long ago, the Black and White Eagle Village has already set up a large number of radar outposts around the Long Village, as well as around the world. So it is not too difficult for them to continuously track such a large-scale target like logs, as long as they know the location in advance...

    "Calculating the target trajectory..."

    In the conference room, the computer screens of the prepared machines were displaying a mad rush of numbers.

    These computers are all connected to the Black and White Eagle Village's supercomputer. They can directly invoke the computing power of a supercomputer!

    Not long after, a voice echoed directly in the conference room:

    "Report! NH-5 trajectory calculation..."

    With the specific position and speed information of the missile in advance, as well as the computing power of a supercomputer that has been prepared in advance, and so many top-notch technicians on site, it's not difficult to calculate the trajectory of the missile under all these preparations.

    However, as the words fell, the technician who was about to report the trajectory calculation information abruptly changed his expression, "The target trajectory has deviated!"

    Trajectory deviation?

    Hearing this, the faces of everyone present all changed.

    In their minds, involuntarily, the information that Qinshan had mentioned earlier emerged—both the NH-5 and the XH-2 can maneuver and change their trajectories!

    "Fuck! Does that bastard Long Village really tell the truth?"

    Recalling the key point, the faces of all the members of the Round Table were as iron-gray as possible.

    "No! Maneuvering a trajectory missile is not that easy. It could also be that the missile has a malfunction!"

    The members of the Round Table team forced themselves to discard the thoughts in their minds and self-comforted.

    They really didn't want to accept the fact that Long Village truly had mastered the technology of maneuvering trajectory missiles.

    Compared to that, they would rather believe that Long Village's missiles have failed!

    After all, maneuvering the trajectory of a ballistic missile is not that easy.

    This technology has been proposed since decades ago, such as the Sanggun trajectory, and the QX trajectory proposed by that scientific and technological great man from Long Village, which were all technical speculations proposed decades ago.

    However, until now, no one has actually been able to achieve any of them!

    If something that no one has been able to achieve for so many years, can Long Village simply realize it?

    Before the crowd could ponder any further, another voice followed immediately:

    "Report! XH-2's trajectory deviation! Re-calculating trajectory!"

    Tap tap tap...

    Fingers danced wildly across the keyboards, and numbers blazed furiously on the computer screens.

    "Trajectory calculation completed, now in progress..."

    "Report! NH-5 trajectory has deviated again!"

    "Report! XH-2 trajectory has deviated again!!"

    After calculating a part of it, the trajectories of the two missile launched by XH-2 were changed again!

    On the screens in front of everyone, the two red dots indicated by radar signals were constantly changing their trajectories in an odd way!

    "Report! Terminal Guidance System lock failure, unable to intercept!"

    "Report! NMD system cannot lock on target!"

    Along with the sounds, the faces of all the members of the Round Table team were getting worse and worse.

    Following their previous instructions, after Long Village launched the logs, they were not only to make real-time observations but also to use the TMD and NMD systems to simulate intercepting Long Village's logs.

    However, now, both the TMD and NMD have failed!

    In advance knowing the specific location of the target, knowing the final destination of the target, knowing the speed of the target, knowing...

    With almost all the data known, and with thorough preparations made in advance, they still failed!

    "How can this be?"

    For a moment, a trace of fear arose in the hearts of all the members of the Round Table.

    A complete failure means what?

    It means that if these two missiles are aimed at them, they will completely lose their defensive capabilities!

    The logs defense system that they had spent over a thousand billion yuan on is completely useless in front of Long Village's logs!

    At the thought of this, a chilling coldness, unstoppable, surged from the soles of their feet directly to the top of their skulls!

    Ten minutes later, under the gaze of countless eyes, the XH-2 hypersonic intercontinental ballistic missile directly plunged into the water at the previously designated coordinates.

    Twenty minutes later, the head of the NH-5 submerged log launch exploded into five identical warheads, directly shooting in five directions.

    Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, they neatly and uniformly plunged into the vast ocean!

    After everything was over, the entire port and the entire world, the people in front of the screens were all silent.

    At that moment, it seemed as though the entire world had been paused, with no one making any sound at all.

    Although this time neither of the two missiles were equipped with actual mushroom heads, nor did they carry ordinary conventional explosives.

    But even so, it doesn't hinder people's understanding of these two missiles.

    Everyone was clear that if they were replaced by mushroom heads, then the two areas just now would have become rubble!

    Especially for the target area of the NH-5 submerged log launch, if it were on land, then within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, it would have become a barren land!

    Those five separated warheads are enough to easily destroy any region!

    Not only the logs, but also the satellite that can continuously track the logs!

    Ordinary people may only see the horror of the logs.

    But those of the Black and White Eagle Village's Round Table Team saw something with a terrifying degree that was no less than that of the logs.

    To know, throughout that time, they had all been mobilizing satellites to monitor the two missiles.

    Even with sufficient preparation, their satellites were still unable to effectively track the two missiles.

    Can't even track it, let alone clear recordings or live broadcasting.

    But Long Village, during that time, whether it was the XH-2 or the NH-5, Long Village had almost live-streamed the entire process!

    And it was high-definition!

    Even the changes in the missile shell and the high-temperature friction with the atmosphere were clearly visible!

    Had they not been tracking it continuously through radar, they even suspected that this live broadcast might have been a pre-prepared synthetic video by Long Village!

    The implications of such clear live broadcast and tracking shooting made all the members of the Round Table feel chilled to the bone!

    Everyone is clear about what this means, which means that if Long Village wants to, they can intercept any logs of theirs at any time!

    If they can even perform high-definition tracking and shooting on logs traveling at over 20 Mach, what's difficult about locking onto their logs?

    Attack!

    Defense!

    This time, Long Village showcased two unimaginable and even chilling methods to the whole world in one go!

    Showing off muscles?

    No!

    Long Village is not just showing off its strength; it is a stark warning!

    "This is Long Village's trump card?"

    Looking at the screen in front of him, Korinovs marveled.

    He knew about Long Village's strength, but he hadn't expected that Long Village's strength was so terrifying!

    When Long Village introduced the "Chiyin" to him earlier, he didn't say as much as that!

    "Too terrifying!"

    "This civilization is simply unbelievable!"

    "It's hard to imagine how they've managed to do it?"

    Other Arctic Bear Village administrators around Korinovski couldn't help but exclaim in thick admiration.

    At that moment, they suddenly felt a bit grateful for Korinovski's decision earlier.

    Although according to Korinovski's proposal, they might lose a lot of benefits.

    But compared to Long Village's current strength, these interests seem trivial.

    "Mr. Korinovski, I think we should return all the things that once belonged to Long Village, as well as all the things from Long Village in our museum, to them……"
