Chapter 154 The Dragon Kingdom has developed an electromagnetic naval gun!
Russia, Ministry of Defense.
The spacious command room was filled with an incredibly oppressive atmosphere at this moment.
Secretary of Defense Vladimir seemed as if he had been frozen in place.
His eyes were fixed tightly on the screen before him, not blinking once, the look of shock on his face like a frozen painting.
At this moment, he was still immersed in the sudden appearance of the Electromagnetic Naval Gun on the Dragon Kingdom's warship!
His heart was like a raging sea, unable to calm down for a long time.
That mysterious and immensely powerful weapon was like a giant boulder thrown into the lake of his heart, causing ripples that were difficult to subside.
In the command room, other high-ranking officials of Russia were also startled by this suddenly appearing cannon.
"Since when did the Dragon Kingdom's warships equip such a terrifying weapon?"
"This thing must have quite a lot of power!"
"The caliber is certainly not small, but modern warships have long since moved past the early era of cannons. Nowadays, they all rely on missiles to engage enemies. Why has the Dragon Kingdom returned to basics?"
"Exactly, no matter how powerful a cannon is, can it really be more powerful than a missile?"
But after some analysis, they felt that this naval gun seemed to be more for show than practical use.
Just then, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded.
The piercing sound instantly broke the brief silence in the room, as if a sharp blade had sliced through the already tense air.
"It's a tsunami warning!!!"
"A tsunami? How could there be a tsunami in the White Sea?"
Furthermore, judging from the alarm sent, this tsunami warning was no small matter!
The scale was quite massive!
Vladimir muttered to himself, his voice soft, yet exceptionally clear in this frighteningly quiet space.
His eyes were filled with confusion, his brows tightly furrowed into a ' river' shape, and fine beads of sweat unconsciously seeped from his forehead.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind as he tried to understand this incredible scene before him.
One had to know, the White Sea had always been a relatively calm sea area!
In his experience, a tsunami warning of this scale had never occurred before.
"Is it really... a tsunami?"
His gaze returned to the screen once more!
"Secretary, look! Look over here quickly!"
"Oh my god! They're crazy! The Dragon Kingdom is absolutely crazy!"
A subordinate suddenly jumped up, watching the video just obtained from the Satellite Department, his eyes filled with indescribable shock!
Vladimir was pulled from his deep thought by his subordinate's voice.
His heart skipped a beat!
Then, with heavy steps, he walked to his subordinate's former seat and looked at the video that filled him with terror!
In the video, the shell from the Electromagnetic Naval Gun was like a doomsday meteor, rushing toward the US secret base at a speed of Mach 20.
Wherever it passed, the air was compressed into white shockwaves, and space was distorted.
The moment the shell struck, a sound like heaven and earth splitting apart erupted; building glass shattered, and instruments exploded.
One could clearly see a massive mushroom cloud rising from it, with a sea of blue-white flames raging at its base.
Alloy buildings were torn apart and melted, and defensive fortifications collapsed like sandcastles.
Shockwaves blew away fighter jets and warships, the island trembled, and the earth cracked open.
Seawater surged into a tsunami wall; under the power of the shell, the base instantly turned into ruins and scorched earth.
Without a doubt, the one under attack was the US secret base located in the White Sea!
Without a doubt, the one dealing the heavy blow was the Dragon Kingdom!
Without a doubt, that tsunami was caused single-handedly by the Dragon Kingdom's naval gun!
Without a doubt, the Blue Planet... was about to change!
At this moment, everyone present was as stunned as puppets, standing blankly in place, letting the shock erode their bodies!
After a long while.
Vladimir regained his senses, slowly stood up from his seat, and walked toward the window with slightly heavy steps.
He looked toward the distant White Sea, his eyes revealing complex emotions—there was fear of the unknown, and also awe at the Dragon Kingdom's formidable strength.
The sea breeze blew in through the gaps in the window, carrying a hint of saltiness, but it could not make him any more clear-headed.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but after remaining silent for a long while, he slowly spoke, saying only one sentence:
"Next, I must pay a visit to the Dragon Kingdom!"
Over at The Pentagon, the Secretary of State's face was as pale as ash.
He was gripping the communication device tightly, his mouth slightly agape, as if he still wanted to say something to the other side, but the base's communication had already been cut off without warning.
In that instant, he felt as if he had fallen into an endless dark abyss.
His gaze wandered frantically around the command room, finally fixing tightly on the large screen playing the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast channel.
On the screen, that terrifying shell was hurtling toward the US secret base with a posture so overbearing it induced despair, like a meteor burning with rage.
The Secretary of State's hands began to tremble unconsciously, his heart filled with fear and unwillingness.
He still held a glimmer of hope; in his understanding, their base was constructed to be incomparably sturdy, sufficient to withstand a nuclear attack.
He kept comforting himself in his heart!
"It must just be electromagnetic waves causing the communication interruption; it will recover soon."
"Soon! It will recover soon! It must be like that!"
The military experts nearby were already in chaos, but a few experienced experts quickly calmed down and began to analyze the weapon launched by the Dragon Kingdom.
One expert with graying hair and glasses said with a slightly trembling voice:
"If I'm not mistaken, what the Dragon Kingdom launched is not an ordinary shell, but... an Electromagnetic Railgun!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present widened their eyes!
Looking as if they had seen a ghost!
Not just him, other experts shook their heads, yet they were helpless!
"The speed reached Mach 20; only an Electromagnetic Railgun could have such a terrifying speed! It's an Electromagnetic Railgun, no doubt about it!"
"I didn't expect that after we painstakingly researched for over a decade without a breakthrough, the Dragon Kingdom would have developed it ahead of us!"
Upon hearing this conclusion, the Secretary of State was instantly furious.
"How could the Dragon Kingdom have this kind of thing?"
He roared, his eyes bloodshot.
His anger was not just because the Dragon Kingdom possessed such a powerful weapon, but even more so, he felt immense regret for his previous blind confidence.
Just then, his private phone suddenly rang, the urgent ringtone appearing exceptionally abrupt in the silent command room.
He glanced at the caller ID; it was the President calling.
He took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down, and then answered the call.
"Mr. President, the Dragon Kingdom... has revealed an Electromagnetic Railgun."
The Secretary of State's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of exhaustion and despair.
The other side of the phone was silent for a moment, and then the President's serious inquiry came through:
"Oh my god!!! An Electromagnetic Railgun?"
"You're saying the Dragon Kingdom has developed an Electromagnetic Railgun???"
"I've heard that it's a terrifying weapon that can bypass nuclear treaties while having power not inferior to a nuclear bomb!"
"How could the Dragon Kingdom have developed it?" President Biden was also dumbfounded.
He slowly turned his neck to look at the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast screen.
The Electromagnetic Naval Gun whizzed past!
Like a brilliant yet deadly star streaking across the sky.
