Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder

"It's over, is our Tokyo area also facing the 'mass extinction'? After all, we still haven't been able to escape this catastrophe..."

The mass extinction refers to the phenomenon that in the fifth stage, which will not be affected by the magnetic field, after destroying the barrier of the giant stone tablet, the gastroentera army from the unexplored area breaks into the city and kills the internal residents.

Once the fifth stage appears, it means that the "mass extinction" is about to happen, and a city will be destroyed soon... This is a consensus in people's minds since the Gastrea War.

There is precedent for this!

Once in the Middle East and Africa, stage five gastritis ran rampant, leading to mass extinctions. In the worst case, several cities fell within a day, and millions of civilians died!

The current situation can be called a sign before the end of the world!

"What should I do? Can Miss Leiden defeat it?"

"Are you kidding! That's stage five! Tactical nuclear weapons can't kill it!"

"Can we just wait to die?"

Seeing that the atmosphere of despair in the commander's room continued to spread, the Holy Son of Heaven, who was sitting on the main seat, also fell silent, his face pale as paper.

It was obvious that Zhizi Yingyin had just been eliminated, and everyone was still cheering happily, but despair suddenly came, making their mentality almost collapsed.

What revives the Tokyo area, promulgates the new gastrulation law, raises the status of the cursed sons, and integrates the whole of Japan... These dreams seem to be very far away at this moment, which makes the emperor, who is the head of state, feel suffocated for a while.

In reality, even giving her the chance to realize these dreams must be deprived!

"Master Sheng Tianzi, please give an order. No matter when and where, our Leiden family will support you." Regarding this, Lei Dian Keita and Lei Yi just looked at Sheng Tianzi, and did not vent their emotions like the others.

This is a kind of trust and loyalty engraved in the bones, and it is also the main reason why the Lei Dian family has been able to survive.

No matter which era, no matter what happens, the Raiden clan will only obey the most orthodox monarch in Japan from beginning to end. Even if they are excluded and suppressed because of this, even if they are constantly tossing and turning between black and white, they have never wavered.

Faced with so many gazes, Sheng Tianzi was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head.

"Minister Raiden, how long do you think the Maritime Self-Defense Force can last?"

"No more than an hour, Lord Setenko," Keita Raiden replied without any hesitation, obviously knowing the military deployment along the Tokyo coastline very well.

"What?! An hour?"

"This is too short! Isn't Scorpio still some distance away from landing? How is your Self-Defense Force..."

In the face of doubts from the speaker of the meeting and many executives, Keita Raiden did not change his face.

"This is still the most optimistic situation, Lord Shengtianzi. You have also seen that the Aegis ships and missile silos deployed around the coastline cannot cause effective damage to Scorpio at all. The opponent's regenerative ability is too strong..."

Having said that, he glanced at the giant beast that was still slowly advancing on the screen.

"Based on the current situation, even if the aircraft carrier battle group and the remaining Aegis ships in charge of another sea area are all mobilized, this time can only be postponed for half an hour at most, and the entire Maritime Self-Defense Force may be destroyed."

Hearing this, Sheng Tianzi blinked and continued to ask: "What about the Air Force Self-Defense Force? If we send them up, how long can we delay?"

"Master Shengtianzi", Keita Raiden couldn't laugh or cry, "Have you forgotten? Since the outbreak of the Kanto War, the entire Japanese military industry has suffered a major blow. In the absence of raw materials and factories, production operations have almost stagnated... "

"After ten years of attrition in the Air Force Self-Defense Force in the entire Tokyo area, there are only two support fighter jets and thirteen combat helicopters left. Transport planes, civil aviation airliners and civilian helicopters cannot form effective combat capabilities..."

"As for the Ground Self-Defense Force, there are still more than [-] people, but the range of tanks and self-propelled guns is always limited, and this situation is of little use at the moment. Unless you wait until Scorpio is close to the shore, it will be lost at that time." It makes sense for combat!"

Hearing Keita Raiden's helpless words, the others were suddenly speechless.

"Can you ask the other four districts to come to support?" The chairman of the meeting asked unwillingly.

Hearing this, the Holy Son of Heaven looked at Jingtai Lei Dian again.

Regarding this, the latter seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shengtianzi. Apart from the Sendai area, our Raiden family has been suppressed in Hakata, Hokkaido, and Osaka. The military power and the troops under his command have been weakened and dispersed. Those heads of state who support themselves obviously don't trust us. .”

"Damn it! Do those bastards think it's back to the Warring States Period?! A group of wolfish and ambitious guys shouldn't have been kind to them back then!" The chairman of the meeting thumped the table and roared angrily.

And the Holy Son of Heaven was also full of sadness.

Nominally speaking, their Tokyo area is the real political center, which is the so-called "capital".

No matter from which point of view, their Tokyo area is in crisis, and the whole country should come to support.

However, since the appearance of Gastrea ten years ago and the outbreak of the Great Kanto War, most of the land has been invaded by Gastrea, thus splitting into the five regions today.

In this context, the exchanges and connections between regions are becoming increasingly alienated, and new divisions have emerged in the power class...

As a result, some ambitious people took the opportunity to become the so-called "regional heads of state", turning their respective territories into "states within a state" and no longer obeying the nominal "political center" of Tokyo.

The political changes certainly affected the military.

The Raiden family, who had a profound influence in the entire Japanese military circle, was suppressed by the heads of various regions almost by coincidence, their influence was deliberately weakened, and military power was directly taken away. The previous grand occasion of power has almost become a thing of the past.

How can all of this not make Sheng Tianzi and Raiden Keita, the contemporary head of the Raiden family, feel sad and angry?

Yet it is so.

People's desires are infinitely magnified in this apocalyptic world. It is almost the limit for the Tokyo area to maintain the superficial peace and development. Any cross-regional wars and the like are completely self-defeating and benefiting the gastroenterologists.

"Will they come if we ask Sendai District for support now?" After sorting out his emotions, Sheng Tianzi asked without sadness or joy.

"Yes! Lord Shengtianzi" Lei Dian Jingtai nodded without hesitation, with a touch of confidence on his face, "The head of the Sendai District is a family friend of our Lei Dian family, and the military is controlled by the branch of our Lei Dian family. My brother... that is, Raiden Keikuma, the second general rank (lieutenant general), is currently serving as the chief of military staff of the Sendai District and the commander of the Self-Defense Forces of the Three Armies."

"Really? That's really great." In this regard, Sheng Tianzi finally showed a long-lost smile.

"But even so, it won't be able to quench the near thirst, right?" At this moment, Mu Geng, who had been silent by the side, suddenly spoke.

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at her immediately.

Facing the gaze of these high-ranking officials and ministers, Mu Geng still looked as usual.

"I said, the straight-line distance from Sendai District to Tokyo District is more than 200 kilometers, right? In the remaining one hour now, the only thing that can arrive in time is the plane..."

Having said that, her tone changed.

"Let's not talk about whether we will be attacked by gastritis if we come to support this way, even if the plane from Sendai area arrives safely and unscathed, will it change the current situation?"

"This..." Hearing this, Sheng Tianzi and the others looked at each other and fell silent.

Yes, even if the support from Sendai City arrives, what can we do?

procrastinating?

It is now five o'clock in the morning, and the vast majority of civilians in the Tokyo area are still asleep. They don't even know that there is a terrifying stage five gastritis invading, how to evacuate?

Besides, it's only an hour and a half at most, and it's impossible for people in the Tokyo area to evacuate.

Maybe they, senior government officials, company leaders and other upper-class figures, can escape the Tokyo area according to their own channels, but what about the rest of the civilians?

In either case, the Tokyo area probably won't exist after today.

Mu Geng's words made them realize the truth.

Everything is back to square one.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the command room dropped to freezing point again, the girl named Tendo Kisara sighed.

The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. They seem to have forgotten something...

"I have a way."

……

Chapter 50 Chapter 49 The Rainstorm is Coming

The linear super-electromagnetic projection device, also known as the Sky Ladder.

It is a rail gun module that can accelerate metal flying objects with a diameter of less than [-] millimeters to sub-light speed and launch them.

From the outside, it looks like two side-by-side orbits extending 1500 meters, piercing the sky at an elevation angle of [-] degrees, straight into the thin clouds, so that its true top cannot be seen from the ground.

This is a relic of the end of the Gastrea War, an epoch-making super-giant weapon.Although it has been completed, because of the defeat of human beings at that time, there was not even a trial run, so it was forced to be abandoned in the unexplored area.

……

To be honest, Mei would not like to visit this living "technological fossil" if possible.

It's just that the reality is often not as expected.When she boarded the helicopter with Ren Taro and others, the emergency communication from the Holy House forced her to give up the chance to go home and rush to this wilderness alone.

"This is the 'Ladder'?" Looking at the huge weapon of war in sight, Mei was stunned, and then followed the instructions to enter the range of the facility.

Soon, she had to feel the bold thinking of the designer again.

This is a small hill, and the red-painted behemoth is located in the side depression. The outermost periphery is a concrete wall with an anti-theft net. The extremely thick cables are wrapped in a thick protective layer and buried deep in the ground. The power grid in the Tokyo area was connected to electricity when Mei arrived.

Ten years on, the sprawling facility is once again brightly lit.

Although the five or six-meter-high protective wall on the outermost layer is a natural moat that is difficult to cross for ordinary people, it is like a small ditch for Mei, who can easily climb over it with a little force. .

Before landing, the girl had a panoramic view of everything in the facility from the air.

An area the size of a football field, a railgun base supported by many huge pillars, a cylindrical object with a diameter of more than [-] meters... Mei felt a huge fluctuation of electric energy in it, which should be a device for storing electricity.

But the most eye-catching thing is the rail gun module that goes straight into the clouds - it looks like a pair of glowing chopsticks together. Although the appearance is strange, the buoy that gradually lights up is full of technology.

"By the way, it's the year 2031. If it wasn't for gastrulation, I'm afraid this technology has already matured, right?"

Thinking this way, the girl landed inside the facility at the same time. Although there was no fluttering skirt, her proud figure was already outlined in the white robe that was close to the girl's skin.

I don’t know if it’s because its original owner was a woman, or because it was originally designed like this. Compared with those fat and bloated robes, its original shape is more inclined to the oriental cheongsam.

It is slender, tight, and fully shows the figure, even if the arms are not exposed, and there is no gap at the waist. Compared with the cheongsam, it is more conservative.

Of course, in terms of its essence—the armor, the design that only exposes the collarbone of the neck and wraps the rest of the limbs and the body is obviously for better protection, and there is nothing to criticize about it.

……

Entering the interior of the rail gun, Mei sat on the elevator inside and went straight to the top, while turning on the video communicator to check the internal schematic diagram sent by the emperor, so as to prevent getting lost in the future.

The internal structure of the railgun is far more complicated than imagined. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "honeycomb". If you don't pay attention, you may go around in irrelevant places.

"Central computer room? Got it?" After memorizing the schematic diagram with a lot of labels in her heart, Mei closed her eyes and began to deepen her memory.

"Crack!" When the sound of the elevator door opening sounded, it was also like pressing a certain button.

The girl opened her eyes and ran quickly. There was no confusion in her eyes, only the calmness that sees through everything.

Go up the stairs, open the door, turn around the corner, avoid the dead end... The "maze" specially set up to prevent the rebels from occupying is of no use to Mei, with the guidance of the schematic diagram in her mind, she is always in the right place Running on the road.

After a while, when the last door in front of her opened automatically, the control center of the railgun—the central computer room came into view.

After briefly scanning the interior layout, Mei went straight to the center console.

"Crack!" Connect the data interface on the console to the video communicator, and the interface for entering the password is displayed on the screen of the latter.

"Ding ding ding..."

Unhurriedly entering the [-]-digit password given by Sheng Tianzi and the others, the control screen in front of her suddenly lit up.

What appeared on the screen was a simulated map of the Tokyo area, with the words "TRACKIGNITION SEQUENCE START" written in the center of the screen, and a female synthetic voice sounded at the same time:

"Start activating the linear super-electromagnetic projection device."

As if sensing something, the next second, the earphone Mei wore on her right ear suddenly rang.

"The power supply of the unmanned substation is normal, the transmission grid is normal, and the Dewar bottles that store liquid helium are also normal... Great, thank you Miss Thunder for your help, and the next launch procedure will be carried out by us."

The voice of a middle-aged man, thick and magnetic, seems to be an analyst.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Mei nodded and said nothing.

Afterwards, the screen in front of her was obviously not touched, but the cursor moved, clicked, and dragged quickly by itself, and one program after another began to be executed. It was obvious that the combat headquarters in the first district of Tokyo was conducting remote control.

"Staff located at the connection of the superconducting flywheel power storage system, please evacuate quickly, the launch procedure begins the first stage, and energy charging begins."

The female synthetic voice is still dutifully warning, but unfortunately, the entire facility... even within a few kilometers is only Mei alone.

It's hard to imagine that this was something ten years ago.

"In ten years, the current Tokyo area is just a rapid development of architecture on the surface. In order to save land, houses are built higher and higher. Compared with ten years ago, the development of science and technology should have retreated a lot, otherwise it would be impossible to live here In the enchantment of the giant stone monument..."

While thinking about it, Mei looked at the circular meter that appeared on the screen, which represented the current energy filling ratio.

"Crack! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, the joystick in front of her began to operate on its own, just like a car's gear shifting, pushing it down and pulling it up.

However, this did not bother the girl who was in deep thought.

"This electromagnetic railgun can accelerate metal to sub-light speed...is this considered a black technology? Even in the original world, the floating battleships of Destiny and Anti-Entropy can't do such a thing. How about some time? Disassemble it and take it away?"

"Rumble..."
