  Chapter 587 Riding Waves

  In the city of Tokyo, some remaining soldiers hiding in dilapidated houses saw the magnetic rails on the top of the tall buildings and the flashing trajectory of the rail shells through the light curtain of tracer bullets all over the sky.

  They desperately used satellite phones to notify the radar station 200 kilometers away to warn of this information, but the answer they got was that the radar station could not detect the signal.

  On the one hand, thanks to the information obtained from the Tokyo Materials Research Institute, the metamaterial on the surface of the rail shell has been transformed into a multi-band electromagnetic wave stealth paint, which can absorb and attenuate incident electromagnetic waves, microwaves, and infrared.

  On the other hand, the flying speed of the shell is too fast, its excellent aerodynamic shape and extremely high initial velocity make it break through the dense atmosphere like a ballistic missile.

   "You built a railgun?"

  The American officer lying on the ground endured the pain of broken ribs and asked with difficulty, "Who are you going to hit?"

   Li Ang said lightly: "A warship."

"Hahaha."

  The officer laughed hard and said, "You don't know about the curvature of the earth, do you?"

  Most of the warships of the U.S. Army and the Japanese Self-Defense Force are in the Ryukyu waters at this moment, confronting the East China Sea Fleet.

  That place is 1,300 kilometers away from Tokyo. How could the shells shoot so far?

   Take 10,000 steps back, even if the track is long enough to be an exaggerated rail gun, which can project shells 1,300 kilometers away,

  Affected by the curvature of the earth and the turbulence of the airflow during flight, the shell will also deviate far away when it flies to the target location, which may be several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers—the shell does not have the ability to guide itself like a missile.

  Li Ang didn't refute, but said calmly, "I used the waverider configuration."

  The officer's pupils dilated instantly, in disbelief.

  After the shell passes through the dense atmosphere, the shell melts at a slow speed, exposing the flat wedge-shaped structure inside, with smooth fins on both sides of the tail,

   Not like a cannonball or an airplane at all, more like a flying machine from a future era.

  The change of aerodynamic appearance, coupled with the influence of gravity, makes the aircraft descend slowly, and gradually touches the top of the dense atmosphere, and is about to fall into it.

   Hoo!

  The strong wind blows, the shape design of the aircraft and the shock wave generated by the hypersonic flight create a strong lift force, which "tops" the aircraft out of the dense atmosphere.

   Like surfing on the sea, the aircraft glides smoothly against the atmosphere, with an elegant and quiet posture.

   This is the waverider configuration.

  ———

   "Director, aren't we taking action yet?"

  In the Ryukyu waters, on an amphibious warship of the East China Sea Fleet, Wei Linglan, a member of the Mobile Task Force of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, couldn't help asking.

".hold on."

  Xing Hechou, director of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, a burly man in a military uniform with a Chinese character face and a resolute expression, put down his binoculars and shook his head.

  The sea was pitch black, but Xing Hechou, who was a supernatural being, could clearly see the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier battle group twenty nautical miles away through binoculars.

  Twenty nautical miles, this is almost an extremely close distance like a face-to-face dance for a navy that emphasizes beyond visual range strikes.

   "How long have you been waiting?"

  The officer of the Special Affairs Bureau, who looked a little anxious and code-named Wanli Fengdao, stomped on the deck, and said in a hurry: "Are you going to wait until the body of that Li Ang is collected?"

  The East China Sea Fleet confronted multinational fleets including the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier formation, the Japanese Self-Defense Force fleet, the Australian fleet, and the South Korean fleet for several hours.

  The distance between the two sides has been shortened from one hundred nautical miles to twenty nautical miles, and no one has backed down.

"hold on."

  Xing Hechou told Wan Lifengdao to be safe and calm, but he couldn't help but walk to the edge of the deck, clenched his palms tightly, leaving clear palm prints on the metal railing.

  He also knows the concerns of the higher authorities. The battle in Tokyo is raging, and the multinational navies are confronting each other.

   Once this matter is not handled properly, it may become the fuse of a world war

  ‘There should be more information above, such as the effect of the meteorite, the current situation of Tokyo City, the bottom line of the US high-level and so on. '

  Xing Hechou held the railing and thought wildly, forcing himself to calm down—there are also supernatural beings on the opposite fleet, and he needs to beware of the opponent launching a gang fight.

  Suddenly, the fleet on the opposite side moved. They seemed to have detected something, and they all left their original positions and drove around in a mess.

  And the fleet commander took the lead in breaking the silence, contacting the East China Sea Fleet by radio, and asked loudly, "Did you launch a hypersonic missile at us?"

  Missiles?

   Before everyone in the East China Sea Fleet could react, the shipboard radar also detected the signal of an object approaching rapidly from high altitude.

  Hypersonic missiles, in a narrow sense, specifically refer to those missiles whose speed reaches Mach 8 or higher and can implement large-scale maneuvers.

  Because it is too fast, it can break through all defense systems, and there is no counter weapon that can effectively intercept it. It is an important part of nuclear deterrence by major powers.

  In today’s world, only China and Russia officially have hypersonic missiles in service. As strong as the United States is also stuck in the test launch link.

   Therefore, after the radar signal was detected, not only the US fleet, but even Xing Hechou and the others fell into shock, wondering whether World War III would really happen on this day.

   Whoosh—

  Everyone heard it, a sharp piercing sound pierced the sky.

   Immediately afterwards, there was an explosion, rising from the deck of the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington of the Seventh Fleet of the US Navy.

  Boom!

  In the middle of the deck with a total length of 330 meters and a width of 76 meters, a deep crack almost split the aircraft carrier in two.

  The five decks were penetrated, billowing thick smoke mixed with steam rose up,

  The violent shock and shaking made the F14, F/A-18 fighter attack aircraft and EA-6 electronic warfare aircraft parked on the deck tilted,

  The mooring cables of four of the planes broke directly, sliding and crashing into the sea, causing waves higher than the deck.

  The crew never thought that they would be attacked, and panic and fear spread in everyone's hearts.

  It wasn't until the voice of the warship officer came out from the loudspeaker that everyone calmed down a little, and extinguished the fire on the hull according to the attack procedure.

  Aircraft carrier is a sea fortress after all, even if the deck is damaged so badly, it will not sink into the sea immediately.

  With such luck, the soldiers came to the deck with fire extinguishers, and then they saw a strange scene.

  A large amount of black silt spread out from the wound on the deck, slowly forming the human shape of an oriental youth.

   Li Ang, or Li Ang's Mosi avatar, first looked around the messy scene on the deck, and then looked up at the sky—

  Two MH-60S Knighthawk carrier-based helicopters that had previously been flying in the air aimed their searchlight columns at him.

   Li Ang slowly opened his palm, and then clenched his fist.

  The majestic thought power poured out, like two invisible giant palms, holding the helicopter in the air.

  The explosion-proof glass shattered inward, the high-speed rotating propeller blades broke and broke, and the digital display burst into sparks and went out instantly.

  Boom—

  Two helicopters were crushed by Nian Li and crashed into the sea.
