Apocalypse: The Stronghold System
Chapter 116: Huanlong-07 Ballistic Missile
—Songshanhu Lake, Mingyue Defense—
The frozen lake features beautiful scenery in winter, and if the black clouds in the sky do not block the sunlight, it will make the scenery more beautiful.
The current winter is very strange, because usually only a few days of snowfall, then the clouds will disappear, even a few hours have stopped. But this time, it was more than a month but not yet over; the day would be dark as dusk, and the night like endless darkness that enveloped.
But luckily there was a Mothership that would periodically fire low-power Plasma Cannons to clear the clouds.
On the west side of Songshanhu Lake, there is a heavily guarded military base with automatic weaponry and robots that travel around 24 hours.
The 22,500-square-meter base has several sectors and buildings, but what is more interesting is the empty courtyard. However, suddenly the vast courtyard shook as if there was an earthquake and the ground was split in two.
From the split ground it was sticking up slowly, this rocket was a ballistic missile that had a diameter of 2.5 meters, capable of carrying 10 — 15 nuclear warheads that can be directed to different places.
On one of the higher buildings of the ballistic missile, standing a woman behind a dim glass looking at the direction of the ballistic missile, this woman was a long-invisible form of Xiaochu.
"Xiaochu, I haven't seen you in a long time."
There were footsteps from behind Xiaochu who approached him.
"Master's here?"
Yep! The person who came to Xiaochu was Fan Chen in the form of a silicon-based robot, he had left many of his robots in various places in Mingyue Defense to move places faster.
Fan Chen patted Xiaochu's head. "Don't pretend not to know, I know you already know that I'm here. The reason I'm here myself is because I want to see the first launch of a ballistic missile."
Xiaochu smiled, then hugged Fan Chen tightly. "Master, thank you! Because of Master, Xiaochu could sense touch, taste, and other senses."
"certain." Fan Chen returned Xiaochu's embrace while gently rubbing his head.
Xiaochu let go of his embrace, he went to the table to take out the wine and poured it into the glass before handing it to Fan Chen. "Master."
Fan Chen picked up the glass, shook the wine inside, then sipped it slowly. He had to admit that all the workers who embody the somatosensory sensor system were amazing until he felt the taste of wine perfectly. Eating as much as anything is not afraid of being fat, drinking as much alcohol as anything is not afraid of getting drunk, and all the things consumed will be stored and converted into fertilizer.
He looked at the ballistic missile that was slightly tilted towards the northeast, directing it towards the Bald Eagle Country.
A virtual display also appears in front of it to observe the path of the ballistic missile, as well as the headquarters where the target is located.
"Our place is cloudy, but it's sunny there, though it's still snowy." Fan Chen pushed the virtual screen to a little further away, he saw a time that was only seconds left before the ballistic missile was launched.
This was the first time a ballistic missile had been used to strike land, even before his death, he had never heard of anyone unleashing a ballistic missile attack except for a test at sea.
10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6 ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Launch it!
The missile shook and let out a fire at its bottom, an extremely powerful thrust lifting the missile slowly leaving the ground. Dust flew as the intense pressure scattered the rocks and sand below, the fiery red flames distorted the air with the temperature rising rapidly.
The missile glides at an increasing speed every time until it reaches an altitude of 400 kilometers from sea level.
The bottom of the ballistic missile comes off when it reaches that height, then the missile tilts slightly until its horizontal position, then the second part of the raptor engine is turned on.
Because there is no air resistance in space, the raptor engine can produce more powerful thrust up to a speed of 29,000 km/h.
Fan Chen looked at the scene where a ballistic missile named “Huanlong-07” shot through space over the Pacific Ocean without a hitch at all, even though there was space junk up there, The SkyNet satellite will clear its path by firing a high-temperature laser.
"About, can we create a technology that can change the seasons."
Xiaochu turned his head to look at Fan Chen, smiled and replied, "With Master's knowledge, it should be able to create that technology."
"May ..." Fan Chen said as he took out a chair for him as well as Xiaochu. "What about the Wall Protection Project? Is there a problem?"
Xiaochu sat down beside Fan Chen. "Basel helped in this project, the debris has been destroyed and some of it brought home for recycling. But, it must be admitted enough difficulty to carry materials, especially metal."
Fan Chen thought for a while to look for a more efficient way. "Then, design this wall on newly liberated land, at the outermost part of Mingyue Defense. Then I'll take him to my ability."
"It shouldn't be difficult as it only has to travel 900 meters for the Inner Region, and 1,800 meters for the Outer Region. If building in the Core Region, it couldn't be done because it was very dense despite being close to the Warehouse."
The Inner Region has an area of 7.63 square kilometers. The Outer Area has an area of 9.45 square kilometers.
Xiaochu gave a small nod and started operating a portion of the robots that were on their way to return to the Outer Region.
Returning again to Huanlong-07, Huanlong-07 had already reached the Bald Eagle Country section. At this very moment, the raptor engine had been turned off and the outer protective part had slipped off, revealing a conical black metal.
The metal houses a nuclear warhead made of Energy Crystals with a 1,000-ton TNT warhead.
The warhead is floating in space like no direction, until the taper is slightly pointing down and down into the atmosphere, suddenly the ion propulsion engine is burning at high speed.
The nuclear warhead-carrying container ignites as it descends at high speed and rubs against the surrounding atmosphere, but this alone is not enough to destroy the container that houses the nuclear warhead.

—Greenville, South Carolina—
The barren mountain covered in thick snow has nothing special when viewed from afar, but as it approaches it closer, it will find a hidden antenna to pick up the signal.
On one side, you will find a hidden cave with a door made of steel.
The interior has a wide variety of spaces and sectors, this place is almost the same as a crazy laboratory in Ohio, only wider with military equipment.
Everyone in it worked as usual as if there was no difference between the First Disaster and the Second Disaster. But suddenly...
A deafening alarm goes off in every room with a flaming red light signaling a sign of danger.
"What's going on?!" One of them broke into the surveillance room.
"Radar found an intercontinental missile coming right at us!" a young man was observing the monitor in front of him.
There was a brief silence with everyone showing expressions of surprise, disbelief and feeling that this was all impossible.
"Enable anti-missile defense!"
But before they could activate the defense, all the hidden missile firing units exploded abruptly.
The young man who was sitting in the control chair, speechless with a resigned expression, he slumped from his chair and looked up at the ceiling of the room. "Air defense, destroyed."
The middle-aged man who was standing at the door, hurriedly pushed the young man who gave the report, he looked at it and fell silent. He knew that his life would end soon.
He turned around, looking at everyone in the room. "You ..."
Boom up!
Even before he could finish his words, a blinding white beam pierced through all of their current defenses. Extremely high temperatures reaching 900,000° Celsius burned all metals including humans inside without exception.
The flames soared high forming a gigantic mushroom, smoke and dust rising into the air piercing through the clouds.
Boom up!
Another explosion was heard as the remains of a nuclear warhead were lifted into the air, giving rise to a shock wave with a wind speed of 850 km/h.
The shockwave swept away anything in its surroundings within an 11-kilometer radius, all life swept away without exception. The land and hills disappeared, clearing 20 million cubic tons of soil around the center of the explosion, creating a fiery comrade that melted the land into lava.
Although this was terrible and inhumane, Fan Chen who was at Mingyue Defense who initiated the launch of Huanlong-07, had already ensured there was no human life around the fall of Huanlong-07.
