Chapter 255 Free Fireworks Show!
Inside the US conference room, the atmosphere was as heavy as the night before a storm, so oppressive that it was almost suffocating.
The US President was stunned, completely bewildered by Elder Qin's words!
With eyes wide open and veins bulging on his forehead, he pointed at the mechas flickering on the screen and demanded of his subordinates in a fit of rage:
"What does this mean?"
"Are all these mechas… Space Mecha???"
"Come on, you tell me, what the hell is a Space Mecha???"
His voice echoed in the silent conference room, carrying a trace of anger and despair.
General Derrick sighed helplessly and said slowly:
"As the name suggests, Space Mecha are naturally mechas capable of operating in space."
"I said before that the Aerospace Carrier is an aircraft carrier whose sea is the stars. Now, these Space Mecha have replaced carrier-based aircraft to become the combat power of the Aerospace Carrier. In other words, China might already possess the capability for interstellar exploration."
Although his words were calm, every single word struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, making the already oppressive atmosphere even more stifling.
After hearing General Derrick's words, the conference room fell into a dead silence, with only heavy breathing permeating the air.
At this moment, a general, as if suddenly grasping at a straw, said:
"Does this mean the Aerospace Carrier itself has no weapon systems and can only rely on these so-called Space Mecha for protection?"
"If that's the case, once the enemy's Space Mecha are isolated, can we destroy them???"
His voice carried a hint of excitement and anticipation. These words were like a shot of adrenaline to the group, reigniting a glimmer of hope in their previously desperate eyes.
But the very next second!
The scene on the live broadcast underwent a startling change, like a bombshell.
In the footage, some jaw-dropping changes appeared on the hull of the Aerospace Carrier.
The originally smooth hull suddenly flickered with strange blue patterns, which wove and traversed across the ship like a mysterious electric current.
Accompanied by mechanical sounds, large-caliber naval guns slowly emerged one by one.
The camera quickly zoomed in on those naval guns.
Arcs of electricity could be seen flickering and jumping in the night sky, standing out remarkably!
It was as if they were flames from hell, exuding an aura of destruction.
At this moment, everyone realized that these naval guns were extraordinary!
They were exactly the same as the naval guns on the Longwei-class Strategic Warship in the White Sea!
This discovery sent a surge of deep fear through their hearts:
"This is an Electromagnetic Naval Gun!"
"China actually equipped the Aerospace Carrier with the Electromagnetic Naval Gun used on its super warships?!?"
Soon, the Aerospace Carrier in the footage began to slowly zoom out.
Around the hull, hundreds of large-caliber Electromagnetic Naval Guns were displayed before the world, looking like rows of steel beasts opening their abyssal maws, majestic and imposing!
That eye-catching aura sent shivers down people's spines.
At this moment, the entire world's audience was dumbfounded!
They stared blankly at the screen, as if frozen by a binding spell, unable to believe their own eyes.
Top officials from various countries, especially those who had been paying close attention to the Electromagnetic Naval Gun of the Longwei-class Strategic Warship, felt drenched in sweat at this moment. Sweat poured down their foreheads like rain, soaking their clothes.
Their legs went weak, as if they had lost the strength to support their bodies. Their faces turned pale as paper, and their eyes were filled with fear and despair.
In the past, just three Longwei-class Strategic Warships equipped with Electromagnetic Naval Guns had scared the US's two most powerful carrier strike groups into fleeing in panic!
And now, the Aerospace Carrier was equipped with hundreds of these powerful Electromagnetic Naval Guns!
What kind of concept was this?
It meant that the Aerospace Carrier was an army in itself!
Not only did it carry a Mech Legion composed of fifty Space Mecha, but it also possessed combat power equivalent to hundreds of Strategic Warships!
Moreover, these naval guns could flexibly rotate, concentrating firepower on a single point to maximize combat efficiency!
This was simply a death fortress in the sky, capable of destroying any force that dared to challenge it.
President Biden could no longer control his emotions. He slammed his hand on the table, the sound exploding in the conference room like thunder.
"Who said China's Aerospace Carrier wasn't equipped with weapons?"
"These damn hundreds of Electromagnetic Naval Guns could destroy all of our carrier strike groups in an instant!"
"How the hell are we supposed to play this???? Just surrender to China!"
Although his voice was loud, it was filled with a sense of powerlessness!
Like a surging tide, it quickly flooded the elderly president's entire body, making him nearly faint as he slumped powerlessly into his seat.
At this moment, Elder Qin's steady and dignified voice sounded again on the live broadcast.
His tone was calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter:
"In recent years, because of the ban on fireworks, people haven't been allowed to set off firecrackers in the country for many years."
"Today, I'll make an exception and arrange a fireworks show for everyone."
"All naval guns, prepare!"
As his words fell, all the Electromagnetic Naval Guns on the Aerospace Carrier turned in unison, aiming in one direction.
The movement was like that of well-trained soldiers, full of mechanical beauty and lethal power.
"Fire!"
As soon as Elder Qin's voice fell, shells were launched like arrows released from a bow.
The power of these shells was immense; the power of a single shell was equivalent to a nuclear bomb. One could imagine the power of hundreds of shells being fired simultaneously—it would be a doomsday catastrophe.
The whole world went quiet at this moment, as if time had stopped flowing. Everyone was quietly waiting for the so-called fireworks show that was about to arrive.
Only a few countries thought China had gone crazy, such as Japan.
They couldn't help but burst into laughter!
"Is China so excited that they're courting death?"
"They're too stupid. Even if those shells all explode in the sky, the power generated cannot be underestimated!"
"Is China trying to give their citizens a sense of security, or are they trying to cause panic?"
The Prime Minister of Japan laughed unscrupulously at China's stupidity.
His laughter echoed in the conference room, filled with mockery and disdain.
But soon, a subordinate looked at the direction of the gun barrels, a look of horror appearing on his face. He said weakly:
"Look at the direction of the gun barrels; it seems to be aimed at our side. It shouldn't be aimed at us, right..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's smiles instantly froze like ice and snow, and their faces were filled with terror.
They quickly turned their heads to look, and when they saw that the gun barrels were indeed aimed in the direction of their own country!
Their faces turned pale with shock!
The fear in their eyes spread like a tide.
Before they could react, a sharp, piercing air-raid siren sounded in the conference room.
The siren was like a sharp blade, cutting through the silent night sky. It also cut through the last shred of luck in their hearts.
They subconsciously looked toward the night sky and saw hundreds of "meteors" whistling toward them from the direction of China.
The light was like the scythes of the Grim Reaper, mercilessly reaping their hope.
The Prime Minister of Japan was completely dumbfounded. His mouth was wide open, but he could no longer make a sound of laughter.
He stood there blankly, muttering to himself:
"Baka... Yaro!"
