Chapter 297 First-person HD Live Stream
There was no flame.
There was no roar.
Nothing happened.
The air froze for three seconds.
"ha!"
Inside the white house, one of the staff members was the first to react, letting out a short, sharp laugh that sounded like someone was being choked.
Immediately, the oppressive atmosphere was ignited.
Hahahaha!
"They dare not! They really dare not!"
The office erupted in jubilation and deafening cheers, a testament to the relief of surviving a close call.
"I knew it! They were just trying to scare people!"
"Paper tigers! They're nothing but paper tigers!"
The American president's smile widened completely as he raised his champagne glass to the crowd.
To freedom!
To freedom!
Champagne bubbles splashed in the air, and everyone was immersed in a false sense of victory.
The president downed his drink in one gulp, then turned to his press secretary and said, "Get ready, I'm going to address the world in five minutes."
His eyes gleamed with the light of a victor: "I want to tell everyone that the free world has once again triumphed over the threat of dictatorship!"
Inside the Tokyo underground bunker.
Kishida's body went limp, and he slumped into the chair, panting heavily.
He survived.
The bet was won.
The Defense Minister excitedly pumped his fist and shouted in a hoarse voice, "We made it! We made it!"
Inside the command center, sobs and cheers of survivors filled the air.
Huaxia, the Supreme Command Center.
Chief Zhang's voice rang out in the silence.
"The time has come."
He glanced around at his comrades who stood ramrod straight beside him.
"General offensive order, Plan B."
His voice, transmitted through an encrypted channel, reached all relevant units.
"Target: Onimaru Reef, an uninhabited island in southeastern Japan."
"Coordinates: 24°33′N, 123°47′E".
"Conventional warheads, two shots fired simultaneously."
"implement."
The moment the last word was uttered.
"boom--!!!!!"
A few seconds later, a tremendous roar suddenly filled the ears of everyone in the world through the live broadcast signal.
In the live broadcast, the ground at the once-silent missile base suddenly trembled violently.
The covers of the two launch silos were instantly blown off by the violent airflow!
Two bright orange flames, mixed with thick white smoke, burst forth from the ground!
Two massive missiles, each bearing a bright red five-pointed star and the word "Dongfeng" (East Wind) on its body, slowly ascended into the air, supported by flames.
They rose from the ground, tearing through the sky, and with an unparalleled, violently aesthetic posture, they surged towards the heavens with overwhelming force!
Inside the white house, everyone's smiles froze on their faces.
The second glass of champagne that the American president had just raised to his lips stopped in mid-air.
The muscles in his face were twitching violently.
In Tokyo, inside an underground bunker, the cheers abruptly ceased.
Kishida's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. He stared in disbelief at the two rapidly rising fire dragons on the screen, as if his soul had been ripped away.
The whole world fell silent at that moment.
"Intercept! Quickly! Intercept!!!"
...
Yunlan University, Underground Hangar Control Center.
Zhou Jue calmly watched the two perfect trajectory lines on the main screen, piercing the sky and rapidly advancing towards the target point.
A slight smile curved her lips.
She whispered something to the system in her mind.
"Brother Tongzi".
"Let's start a high-definition live stream from the 'warhead's first-person perspective' for viewers all over the world."
[Okay! Host, I guarantee you can see everything clearly!]
[A global, high-definition, immersive experience is now available.]
The next second, all the screens around the world that were showing footage of China's missile launch—whether giant television screens, live webpages, or mobile phones in everyone's hands—flashed simultaneously.
The screen was divided into two parts.
The left side shows the view of the missile's tail.
The view on the right is from the front of the warhead.
In the corner of the screen, rows of data were rapidly changing.
Flight altitude: 120km
[Flight Speed: Mach 22]
Flight altitude: 250km
[Flight Speed: Mach 30]
"My God..."
In the CNN studio, George, the star anchor, watched the scene unfolding before him that would overturn his forty-year news career, his script scattering across the floor.
He murmured incoherently, and his voice traveled through the microphone to tens of millions of homes.
"We...we're in space..."
"Could it be that China has installed recording equipment on such a high-speed weapon? Impossible, that's impossible!"
White house, oval office.
The crowd, who had just been basking in the joy of victory, seemed to have been collectively frozen in place.
The champagne bubbles were still rising in the glasses, but no one could laugh.
"Activate the 'Heavenly Eye'! Activate the 'Rod of God'!"
The American president slammed his glass on the ground and roared into the communicator.
"Shoot it down! Now! Immediately!"
The Pentagon, underground command center.
"Space-based laser weapon has locked onto the target!"
"First team, fire!"
In space, three military satellites disguised as weather satellites simultaneously adjusted their angles.
Three high-energy laser beams, invisible to the naked eye, precisely struck one of the high-speed-flying "Dongfeng" missiles at the speed of light.
However, a bizarre scene unfolded.
In the first-person perspective of the warhead, billions of viewers around the world can see it clearly.
A layer of pale golden light rippled across the surface of the missile, like waves on water.
The three deadly laser beams, capable of melting a meter-thick steel plate in an instant, were easily deflected and refracted upon contact with the golden light, leaving no trace on the projectile.
"Interception...failed!"
The Pentagon's technical officer in charge of the briefing spoke with an uncontrollable sob in his voice.
"General! None of our space-based weapons can penetrate its energy shield!"
"It...it's immune to our attacks!"
"immunity……"
The hawkish general muttered to himself, swayed, and slumped into a chair, his eyes vacant.
It's over.
In this arms showdown, the United States has become a laughing stock under the watchful eyes of the world.
The Chinese internet is already a sea of red.
Holy crap! Invincible shields! Iron shirts! Have our weapons become sentient?!
[The US's laser beam looks like a water gun, it's hilarious!]
[Hey upstairs, stop being so harsh. At least you can see water splashes when you use a water gun.]
This isn't Dongfeng Express, it's Interstellar SF Express! Mission Accomplished!
I declare that this attack, which I will call: your attack didn't even break through my defenses.
[Dongfeng: The hem of my clothes is slightly dirty!]
[The person upstairs is Xiao Heizi, lol, he didn't even touch the hem of her clothes!]
[They're fighting! They're really fighting! Mom's so tough! Mom's so awesome! Mom's amazing!]
