It was already midnight.
The atmosphere in the huge conference room was depressing.
The president, the Minister of National Defense, the Senate, and the others all had ugly expressions on their faces.
The Hubble Space telescope had clearly captured the shot from the moon.
Its destructive power was comparable to the ultimate weapon of mankind: Nuclear bomb!
No, it was more terrifying than a nuclear bomb!
This was because nuclear bombs were targeted missiles and had a slow firing speed. They could be intercepted.
And the blast on the moon was obviously a light energy missile!
The speed of light was the highest speed of movement of objects in nature.
Lightspeed weapons naturally couldn't be dodged!
As long as he aimed at the target and pressed the switch, the target would not even know how they died.
It was precisely because of the terrifying characteristics of lightspeed weapons that all the major countries in the world were secretly developing laser weapons.
Of course, the research progress was very slow.
This was because with the current technology on Earth, the light energy weapons created were easily affected by the environment and were not practical.
And the light cannon on the moon was definitely a mature technology!
After a long time, the Minister of Defense spoke first,""Dr. Harlan, what kind of weapon is that cannon on the moon?”
An old man shook his head and said," The enemy's technology is too advanced. We have very little information, so we're not sure yet. However, we can be sure that the enemy's weapons completely meet the standards of orbital weapons!”
Hearing about the orbit weapon, everyone's breathing stopped for a moment.
What was an orbital weapon?
The orbit here referred to the path of the celestial body in the universe.
In other words, orbital weapons were specifically used to target celestial bodies!
To become an orbital weapon, three basic elements were needed: firing speed, range, and power!
The firing speed had to be at least sub-light speed. Missiles that traveled at the speed of sound were not qualified at all.
The shooting range was about 1 au (AU is an astronomical unit, also known as the distance between the sun and the earth. 1 au = the distance between the earth and the sun = 140 million kilometers!)）。
Needless to say, its power was indispensable, at least at the level of a nuclear weapon.
To put it simply, the cannon on the moon could attack anywhere on Earth, and Earth could not intercept it because it was moving at light speed!!
At present, orbital weapons were still a futuristic science fiction concept on Earth.
Unexpectedly, everyone was lucky enough to witness an orbital weapon today.
"Do we have a way to defend against this weapon?”The president asked with an ugly expression.
As the president, he knew what orbital weapons meant.
"Impossible. With the technology we currently have, we can only pray to God!”
The moment Dr. Harlan spoke, everyone's faces turned even uglier.
This meant that he could only take a beating. Not only could he not fight back, but he could not even dodge…
No one refuted Dr. Harlan because he was the most senior weapons expert in the Mei Nation's military. His words represented the cutting-edge weapons technology that the Mei Nation currently possessed!
The president looked at the Secretary of Defense." James, send someone to Japan immediately and collect information there. The most important thing is to find out what kind of weapon is that on the moon!”
"Sir, I've already sent someone over.”
The president nodded, then stood up and said loudly to everyone,""Gentlemen, the time to test us has come. We cannot be passively beaten. We must have the means to counterattack.”
"I agree!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
……
Almost all the government officials and members of parliament raised their hands to vote in favor.
For the first time, the president's proposal was unanimously approved.
At this moment, the secretary standing behind the president suddenly walked forward and whispered into the president's ear,""Sir, the Prime Minister of Japan is calling."
The president frowned.”
The secretary left.
The video call was connected, and the face of the Japanese Prime Minister appeared on the display wall of the conference room.
At this moment, the Prime Minister of Japan looked extremely haggard and his eyes were red.
Su Mu's plasma cannon had destroyed the entire Chiyoda District.
The current known death toll had reached more than 74,000 people, and more than 40,000 people were missing.
Countless buildings were destroyed.
According to preliminary statistics, excluding the lives lost, the Japanese had lost more than 300 billion USD in buildings and property!
Such a huge loss and consequence put the Prime Minister under great pressure.
"Chuan Jun, gentlemen, please forgive us for disturbing you.”
(Kneel down and get the evaluation votes!!)
