Chapter 57: Base Discovered, Attack, Attack!
Chapter 57: Base Discovered, Attack, Attack!
The changing global situation on Earth today has left all countries except the five permanent members of the UN Security Council bewildered.
The existence of reptilians is no secret in the world, and all coastal countries are on high alert, heavily guarding their coastal areas.
At this very moment, the five major powers and the Star Group simultaneously announced the formation of a joint fleet, startling all the nations.
Of all these, the one who was most terrified was the little notebook.
They themselves are well aware of the hatred they harbor towards the University of Tokyo, so they are extremely afraid of the University of Tokyo's rise.
When the first nuclear missile exploded at the University of Tokyo, large-scale protests broke out in Japan because they couldn't come up with a reason not to use nuclear missiles for seven days and seven nights.
After scaring himself for a while, he found that there was no movement from the University of Tokyo, and with the support of his father, the United States, he gradually became arrogant.
Even now, upon hearing that the University of Tokyo and the United States have formed a joint fleet, large-scale protests have once again erupted in Japan.
Despite the attempts to rewrite history over the years, with the development of the internet, the people of Japan know very well that the hatred from the University of Tokyo can only be erased with their blood.
However, the protest started strong but ended weakly, as the Japanese government acted swiftly and suppressed it.
Because the US has given instructions to have their fleet join the joint fleet to carry out the mission together.
With this news, at least for the time being, the University of Tokyo will not take action against itself, but the protests by the domestic public could easily be used by the University of Tokyo as an excuse.
They won't give the University of Tokyo that opportunity, just like the lieutenant general who died due to equipment failure back then.
A week later, at Dongda University, the three armed forces entered a state of high alert, the entire country entered a state of combat readiness, and the three major fleets assembled, directly crossing the first island chain and entering the Pacific Ocean.
At the same time, Japan's Eight-Eight Fleet also assembled and headed to the designated sea area.
The three carrier strike groups on the US side have also assembled and arrived at the rendezvous point.
Although it is a joint fleet, the University of Tokyo and the United States each command their own fleets, but they do share intelligence.
After entering the designated sea area with their large fleet, both sides activated their shipborne scanning devices.
Within just two days, the U.S. military discovered traces of the lizardmen.
During this joint meeting, the University of Tokyo subtly guided the US military, and now the location between the University of Tokyo's and the US fleets is the location of the Lizardman underwater base.
Shortly after the US discovered traces of the lizardmen, the University of Tokyo also reported their presence.
The two sides exchanged intelligence and quickly pinpointed the area of the lizardmen's activity.
As several fleets formed an encirclement, the lizardmen realized they had been discovered.
"Waaaaah!"
An alarm sounded at the underwater base, and then several domes near the base opened their water inlets, and the warships that had already been built inside quickly floated on the water.
As the engines started, these ships immediately plunged into the sea against the current.
These are all fully enclosed warships, capable of operating both on and underwater, and contain a large number of combat units.
"Sonar detected multiple targets rapidly rising from the seabed, suspected to be Lizardmen warships. All personnel to combat positions."
The three fleets of the East, the US, and the Russian also immediately detected the situation on the seabed and issued a battle order.
"Splash!"
"Boom boom boom!"
As soon as the lizardmen's warships appeared, the escort ship's main guns opened fire immediately.
"Target locked, missile launched!"
"call out!"
On the Type 055 destroyer, multiple missiles were launched directly and quickly flew toward the target that had broken through the sea surface.
"Torpedo detected. All ships take evasive action!!"
At this moment, alarms began to sound on the warships, and some of the lizardman warships that had not yet surfaced launched missiles.
"Unmanned missile boats, advance! Take out these surface ships! Quickly locate the Lizardmen's underwater ships and launch depth charges!"
"Knock knock knock!"
The frigates patrolling the outer perimeter of the fleet opened fire, the anti-submarine helicopters on the destroyers took off, and the large black fish underwater were ready to strike the enemy underwater at any time.
"Report: The Lizardman's underwater base has been successfully located at a depth of 2000 meters."
"So shallow? Notify Big Black Fish to blow them up."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as the giant blackfish received the order, it immediately adjusted its angle and launched several torpedoes, rapidly advancing towards the target on the seabed.
The lizardmen were not to be outdone. In addition to the surface ships that rushed out, submarine-like underwater vehicles also emerged from the dome. At the same time, a massive number of lizardmen, clad in battle armor, surged out of the dome and rapidly advanced towards the sea.
"Report: Multiple small targets have been spotted and identified as reptilians."
"They rushed straight out of the seabed, at a depth of two thousand meters. These lizardmen's physical strength and pressure-resistant equipment are indeed very powerful. Order the rays out. It's time to show these lizardmen the power of bionic weapons."
"Yes, the order has been given. The ray has been released and is approaching."
As the images were projected onto the large screen in the command center, the commanders present also saw the situation underwater.
Visibility in the deep sea is relatively low, so you can only vaguely see a group of dark shadows rushing up from the seabed. The rays are not to be outdone, and they rush down and start discharging electricity at these shadows.
"Sizzle!"
A massive electric current filled the entire sea area, and everyone on the warship felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
In the video, these dark figures stiffened abruptly upon contact with the electric current, then slowly sank into the deep sea.
"It seems the ray is working quite well."
Just as everyone was evaluating the ray's combat data, a white light flashed, and a small portion of the ray was directly destroyed.
"Did you see clearly what kind of attack that was just now?"
"It should be an attack similar to a laser weapon, but their technology is very advanced. They can still produce such a powerful beam of light in the sea without it spreading out."
"The ray is probably about to collapse. Notify the Star Group; we'll leave these smaller fish to them."
"Yes, sir."
Upon receiving the news, the Star Group immediately dispatched its Squid Force.
In an area slightly further away from the war zone, several amphibious landing ships were anchored at sea, bearing the corporate logo of the Star Group.
"The incubation chamber is in normal condition, the larvae are being preserved normally, the mother nest is normal, the squid is normal, and we are ready to release them."
"3, 2, 1, deployment complete!"
"Thump!"
As hundreds of culture tanks fell into the water, a large amount of water splashed up immediately.
Along with these culture tanks entering the water, there were also thousands of smaller squid and a huge mother nest.
As they all entered the water, the smaller squid rapidly grew larger, eventually becoming giant squid over 50 meters long.
At the same time, seawater began to be filtered in these culture tanks, and new squid embryos began to be born rapidly under the nourishment of nutrients in the seawater. The original larvae all poured out of the culture tanks and fell to the seabed.
During this process, these larvae are also affected by the pheromones from the mother's nest, and begin to absorb surrounding substances, undergoing rapid metamorphosis and soon becoming small squid.
The thousands of squid that had arrived earlier had quickly reached the battlefield and were surrounding the Dongda fleet, constantly clearing out the lizardmen forces that wanted to attack the bottom of the Dongda ships from the seabed.
A new confrontation has formed between these squids and lizardmen, with the attacking lizardmen constantly using laser weapons to assault the squids.
However, after the last test, these newborn squid have developed a certain resistance to lasers.
Apart from the tentacles, which need to be flexible, the squid's head and body are covered with a soft chitinous shell, which not only increases physical defense but also provides good resistance to high-energy lasers.
Therefore, apart from the constantly being broken tentacles, these lizardmen could not get any closer to the bottom of the ship during the battle.
After all, these squid have a strong regenerative ability; often, after one tentacle is broken off, a new tentacle will grow back in no time.
However, this process takes time, so gradually, the lizardmen gained the upper hand and kept getting closer to the bottom of the ship.
Just then, the squid reinforcements arrived on the battlefield. The addition of tens of thousands of squid directly pushed back the lizardmen on the scene.
As time went on, the number of squid on site increased.
These are all newly bred fast-growing squid. The original technology was designed to breed fast-growing squid to increase aquatic production.
Because this technique exploits the potential of organisms, shortening their lifespan and increasing their growth rate, squid treated with this technique typically die in less than a week. However, a week is enough time for the squid to become edible and tastes excellent.
Now, this technology has been applied to these squid. Their lifespan is only one day, but they can grow from an embryo into a small squid in just a few minutes. After absorbing enough nutrients, they can quickly become mature individuals and form fighting capabilities.
This is an artillery unit, designed specifically for dealing with this type of battlefield.
After the battle, these dead squid become nutrients for the ocean, nourishing the aquatic life within.
The previously placed culture tanks contained millions of embryos, so these millions of embryos could quickly develop into adult squid with a body length of 50 meters whenever needed.
With the addition of new squid to the battlefield, the lizardmen began to crumble, and their defenses gradually collapsed.
However, these lizardmen seemed to be controlled by something, and even as their defenses were about to collapse, they fought to the death, constantly attacking the squid around them with their weapons.
Unfortunately, the difference in quantity and quality could not make up for it. Ten minutes later, more squid joined the battle, and the attacking lizardmen were wiped out in a very short time.
