As time approaches midnight, it is the darkest time of the day.

Zero point is both the end of yesterday and the beginning of tomorrow. It seems that mankind has no intention to choose this time point to launch this race defense war.

After watching the live video of the Tianzhi meeting in the "black box", the heads of state unanimously decided to elect Xu zhe as the commander-in-chief of the war and let him command the doomsday war!

In other words, he has become the brain of all mankind's military operations. As long as war is used, he can mobilize any resources of any country on the earth at any time.

"It's rare that foreigners should contribute so much sincerity and trust to let a general of an oriental country be responsible for commanding the doomsday war. It's our honor..." Hao Zhi commented happily after learning the news.

Xu zhe sighed heavily: "boy, what do you think is a good thing?

Who won't rush to win the war? Our first war against aliens was almost a suicide. The task of this first war was just a test of strength, not a decisive game.

It is almost foreseeable that this will be a losing war. How many more people are willing to become commanders on the black list of history? "

Hao Zhi heard Xu zhe say this and immediately blackened his face: "commander Xu, as commander in chief, don't you have any hope for the first war?"

Xu zhe smiled and didn't answer the question.

Maybe it's no use answering

Hao Zhi looked at Xu zhe from behind. Looking at the yellow man who was not tall, he stood solemnly in front of the huge screen in the underground square with his hands behind his back, staring at the world map with countless light spots on it.

This is the first time in history and the first time that mankind has come. All mankind, 224 countries and regions, all participate in the war. Tonight, the earth has no sleep!

In the corner of the screen, the current relative position of the blood moon spacecraft is displayed. It is suspended in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 2000 kilometers from the ground. It is dead quiet. It seems to be leisurely waiting for mankind to take the initiative to fire the first shot

The five rows of dense avatars vertically listed on the right side of the screen are the live footage of the video conference. The military heads of the core countries in the world are all guarding the fortresses of their military bases. At the other end of the network, they are ready to accept orders and dispatch resources of all parties at any time.

The electronic clock showed that it was already 11:58 p.m. Xu zhe pondered and suddenly said to the microphone: "time: May 23, code name: Apocalypse war, Earth Defense Army headquarters, command confirmed for the last time, please reply!"

"Copy that!"

"Received..."

"Confirm!"

"Command confirmation..."

A minute later, the heads of all countries in the world confirmed their obedience to the command and swore to participate in the doomsday war as the commander of the Earth Defense Army.

"OK!" Xu zhe nodded, his voice loud, "the command has been confirmed!

I command: start the first stage of the war!

Russia, China, the United States, Britain, France and the five countries immediately launched intercontinental missiles with a range of more than 8000 kilometers, equipped with million ton nuclear warheads. The target: Blood Moon spacecraft, free to carry out the first round of destructive strikes! "

"Yes!" the heads of state of the five countries received the order and immediately issued battle instructions. A minute later, a bright indicator line rose from the horizon. It was the intercontinental nuclear weapon of the United States, which had been launched first and roared towards the blood moon spacecraft in the center of the Pacific Ocean.

After that, the missiles of the other four countries also took off one after another. After a short acceleration, they rushed to the target at three times the speed of sound!

"The United States still thinks it is the world's leader. It even has to take the lead in launching a missile!" Song Xiaojia muttered.

Xu zhe turned around and said with a smile, "you're wrong. He took the lead in launching, not because he wanted to be the first, but because he was located in the west of the target. The earth turned eastward. It's like you're sitting in a moving car. When the speed is very fast, do you throw things forward or backward?"

Hao Zhi nodded vaguely: "that is to say, his missile will also offset part of the inertial force of the earth's rotation, so it will arrive later!"

by the way! Xu zhe nodded with appreciation: "the calculation for nearly a minute is purposeful, mainly for five nuclear missiles to hit the target from different positions at the same time. The main purpose of the attack is to maximize the attack effect, so as to test whether the other party's energy shield has the possibility of unilateral defense.

If the time of hitting the target deviates, the shock wave of the first bomb will blow the remaining four out of nowhere... "

"Nuclear weapons, atomic bombs!"

Everyone held their breath. This is the second time that mankind has used it in war since it was invented. In addition to tension and solemnity, only the face of the acting prime minister of Japan can not help but show the strange pride of "I have been beaten".

A beautiful female voice echoed in the hall: "the missile has been launched. The estimated time to contact the target is 7 minutes..."

In an instant, in the upper right corner of the large screen, a fast running second reader was displayed. The countdown was walking fast. Thousands of people standing in the hall looked up at the bright yellow lines, extending little by little into space, the blood moon spacecraft 2000 kilometers away

"Start synchronous visual tracking screen!" Xu zhe ordered.

Another area is quickly divided on the huge screen. Five optical observation stations in different locations around the world transmit real-time images. Those battle tanks parked in the field are equipped with complex and sophisticated video capture equipment. In mid air, the "big eyes" of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are also nervously turning to the direction of the missile

At the height of the night sky, five meteors flying upward and backward are slowly climbing

Five five five million ton equivalent nuclear missiles, driven by the triple power rocket, with the momentum of thunder and cold, rushed at the enemy of mankind, the blood moon, with the momentum of three times the speed of sound and lightning!

This is the first war with extraterrestrial civilization in human history and the beginning of star wars in the next 300 years. Since then, countless historians have recalled this magnificent picture of "meteors catching up with the moon" with emotion.

This moment, known as the prelude of human resistance to war, is the title page for mankind to open the stage of interstellar civilization. Of course, it is also the precursor of the shuffle of human civilization in the old world, the beginning of destruction and reconstruction.

"Estimated contact time, 10 seconds..." finally, the electronic female voice reported the number again. Everyone's heart mentioned his throat. Song Xiaojia couldn't help leaning against Hao Zhi and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

9、8、7……2、1……

There was no sound. In the middle of the picture, the sun like light burst out. Half the world of the earth instantly returned to the day. Five nuclear weapons at an altitude of 2000 kilometers burst out bright light at the same time. Different from Hao Zhiping's impression, the nuclear explosion was not like that seen on TV. After a roar, huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky and swallowed up the world.

The five bombs, just at different positions of the blood moon, scattered five hemispherical blue light waves at the same time!

At the center of the five life points, the nuclear bomb emits extremely bright light like electric welding, and the light wave behind it presents a subtle light blue, soft and distant. Within three seconds, it has spread out a huge circle of tens of kilometers!

However, the wonderful picture at that moment did not convey any texture to Hao Zhi, nor did it bring the murderous spirit of "strike", nor did it show the hegemony of "nuclear weapons".

In the near earth space, on the huge blood moon, it seems that only five blue petals woven from Tulle are in full bloom, and it is very much like five glass jellyfish that suddenly appear in space. The boundaries of the explosion flame are intertwined with each other, impacting countless ionizing sparks, like a blue witch spreading all over the night sky. It is magnificent and beautiful, but it has no sense of power

"What?" Hao Zhi was surprised. "Did you use the wrong missile? Why is the power of the nuclear bomb so small?"

Xu zhe shook his head with a deep and dignified expression: "no, we do use a million ton equivalent nuclear warhead, but it is space, not the earth's surface!

The 2000 km outer space is almost a vacuum, so even the sound of explosion can not be transmitted back. The explosion power of nuclear missiles is huge in everyone's impression, which is mainly reflected in the air pressure barrier generated by the atmosphere, that is, the power of shock waves.

However, at this height, because there is no air, the explosion will not produce huge shock waves like on earth, let alone mushroom clouds! The explosion shock of nuclear bombs is mainly produced in the form of pure energy explosion, and only blue spheres will appear.

More than that, even these intercontinental missiles have been modified. We have added combustion supporting materials to the thrusters. Otherwise, it is impossible to hit outer space! "

Oh... Hao Zhi nodded and continued to look at the blood moon on the picture. The strong light of the five dots was gradually dissipating, and the shape of the huge blue flowers composed of halos began to become irregular, slowly distorted and silently dissipated.

The surface of the blood moon still looks as smooth and complete as ever!

"Destruction effect confirmation: target integrity is 100%, mission failed!" the cold electronic female voice reported without any emotion.

"Sure enough, due to the lack of shock wave formed by atmospheric pressure, the power of nuclear weapons in space is just the destructive effect of ordinary bombs. It can't form an effective attack at all. The light energy and high temperature formed by nuclear fission didn't melt it. I really don't know what material it is made of! Alas..."

A scientist angrily threw his glasses on the console and shouted angrily.

Scientists can vent their dissatisfaction. At this time, Xu Zhe, as the commander-in-chief, cannot reveal any emotional side. He was completely unmoved and calmly issued the next instruction: "I command that the war enters the second stage. In order to prevent the enemy from counterattack, the personnel on the land-based launch platform will evacuate quickly!"

"Report that after the launch, the personnel of other launch platforms except Russia have been evacuated!"

With the last experience, the earth missile forces will not wait to die. They have oiled their feet and ran away after the attack and launch.

It is said that all the launch towers of this intercontinental missile are installed on heavy trucks, which can quickly find hidden fortifications nearby after completing the attack mission to avoid greater losses. However, Xu zhe insisted that every missile force be equipped with high-speed helicopters. After the missile launch, all technicians immediately gave up the launch tower and evacuated.

"What?" Xu zhe was surprised and looked at the Russian President on the screen. "Why don't your people withdraw?"

The Russian President reluctantly stood up: "our missiles are launched from nuclear submarines, the personnel are moving under the sea, and the speed is limited..."

Before he finished, he saw the blood moon on the picture, suddenly scattering five bright lasers from around!

Fight back!

The five lasers are thin and uniform, but visually they are very slow. Moreover, with the curvature of the earth's surface, they are still bending themselves into arc-shaped light

"The light that can turn? How can it be?" Hao Zhi blurted out and shouted.

Before he finished, the five lights suddenly accelerated the attack speed like thunder after the curvature met the needs of the attack target. Almost in a blink of an eye, they had hit five launch platforms respectively and destroyed the launchers and missile vehicles of the evacuated personnel in 2 seconds!

But there was still a little accident. First, the commander of the British missile force was reluctant to give up the missile launch tower costing hundreds of millions of pounds, ordered his troops to drive away after launching missiles, and prepared many camouflaged false targets nearby for the smart ones in order to confuse each other's attacks.

But XueYue could easily distinguish the escape route of the real missile force, and even people and cars were blown up in an instant!

In addition, none of the soldiers on the submarine below the Western sea of Russia escaped. The laser detonated two nuclear bombs it carried. A huge mushroom cloud turned up on the sea. A cloud ring formed by water spray with a radius of more than ten kilometers was shrouded in a bright fireball, which exploded with the force of swallowing heaven and earth, together with three frigates on the nearby sea, Were swallowed by the tsunami formed by the explosion

The first nuclear war launched by mankind, the first mushroom cloud, was actually for itself!

The Russian President's lips trembled and his face was covered with cold sweat. He wiped his face with his hands and explained with difficulty: "unexpectedly... Unexpectedly, the other party's counterattack could be accurate to 900 meters below sea level!"
