The captain gave the order in a low voice, which sounded particularly serious on the empty coastline.
Their movements were skillful and cautious; each bomb was placed precisely in a calculated location.
In this tense atmosphere, everyone seemed to be engaged in a battle without gunfire.
With the last bomb planted, the team members quickly evacuated to a safe area.
Chapter 554: A Series of Setbacks
of course.
Bombing is just one of the methods.
Because the energy that eroded the fighter jet last time seemed to have dissipated from mid-air.
Therefore, they speculated that the missiles on the fighter jets did not hit the altar, but were intercepted in mid-air by the altar's defense mechanism.
So this time they plan to try to dismantle the altar from the "inside".
In the distant command center, Director Wang and other high-ranking officials held their breath in front of their screens, waiting for that decisive moment.
The captain's voice came through the communicator.
"Now, execute the demolition!"
As the order was given, a technician in the remote command center pressed a red button.
Instantly, a deafening roar ripped through the night sky along the coastline where the altar was located, and flames and smoke rose into the air, as if to unleash the fury of this sea.
However, as the smoke gradually dissipated, everyone's gaze froze.
The altar, the one considered the source of the disaster, still stands there, seemingly unaffected in the slightest.
Director Wang frowned. He had expected this, but when the scene actually unfolded before his eyes, he was still overwhelmed with shock.
He took a deep breath to calm himself, then turned to look at the high-ranking officials from other countries on the screen.
A tactical expert, his face ashen and his fists clenched, was clearly finding it hard to accept the fact.
He had led countless battles, but had never encountered such a bizarre situation.
An unbreakable rock?
The representatives from the United States looked at each other in bewilderment; the soldier who had just been testing the stone with the instrument was one of their own.
It's worth noting that their technology is among the best in the world, yet all their skills and knowledge seem to become useless in the face of this mysterious altar.
The heavy voices from the front lines came through the communicator.
"What's going on? Are our explosives really that ineffective?"
Director Wang responded calmly.
“We have anticipated this possibility, but that doesn’t mean we’re giving up. We must find other ways.”
Representatives from the United States also joined the discussion.
“We need to reassess the situation; perhaps we can try other angles or methods to destroy the altar.”
The soldiers quickly retreated to their fighter jets in the air. Although the explosion failed, at least they were unharmed.
Facing the still unmoving altar, their feelings were complex, a mixture of frustration and resentment.
Fighter jets circled in the night sky, awaiting further orders.
One of the radical commissioners looked extremely grim, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes flashing with anger. He presented his ideas to Director Wang via communicator.
"We need more powerful means. I request permission to use intercontinental ballistic missiles to destroy this primeval forest in one fell swoop!"
The air in the conference room seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on the general.
Such a proposal is undoubtedly extreme and dangerous, after all, that primeval forest is home not only to the residents of the Nika tribe, but also to a complete ecosystem.
Director Wang remained silent for a moment. He knew that these were the general's impulsive words spoken in anger, but he also realized the seriousness of the situation.
"I'm sorry, but we cannot make impulsive decisions because of a temporary setback. We have other means and cannot easily cause irreversible damage to this land."
Some people's breathing became heavy. They knew that Director Wang was right, but the anger in their hearts was still hard to quell.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense, with everyone pondering their next move.
"Don't worry, everyone. We've come prepared. We've brought the latest weapon systems and hundreds of specially designed bunker-buster bombs. Perhaps we can try an attack from underground."
The tactical representative's voice was firm, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.
Director Wang's eyes flickered; this suggestion seemed to have opened up a new avenue for their thinking.
He nodded, indicating his approval of the plan.
“Okay, we can try this plan. But before that, we need to make sure the bunker buster is powerful enough to penetrate any unknown defenses.”
Just then, a tactical representative also stood up, his voice full of confidence.
"This proposal is very constructive. Our underground exploration machine has also arrived just in time. By combining the technologies of our two countries, we can attack from underground. In that case, the altar's defense mechanism may not be able to intercept it."
Underground attack?
Great idea!
The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense and exciting, as everyone realized that this might be the key to breaking the deadlock.
Director Wang swiftly issued orders, instructing the technical team and military experts to immediately begin studying and implementing the plan, and to have the subordinate teams work closely together.
Soon after, a team of experts from both departments gathered together and discussed attack strategies around a huge electronic map.
"According to our data, there may be a huge cavity beneath the altar. Our bunker buster bomb can use this space to destroy the altar from the bottom."
A technology expert explained.
Meanwhile, the exploration machine operator was operating the equipment nearby. Through a precise positioning system, they had found the optimal point for deploying the bunker buster.
"We need to ensure that every bunker buster hits its intended location precisely to maximize the destructive effect," the other experts added.
As night fell, all preparations were complete.
Fighter jets are on standby at high altitude, ready to launch bunker-buster bombs at any time according to orders from the ground command center.
Director Wang stood in the command center, his eyes resolute, even though the previous failure had surprised them.
But this time, they had a new plan and were determined to destroy the altar completely.
The launch order came through the communicator, and the fighter jets began launching bunker-buster bombs one by one. They streaked across the night sky like countless meteors, heading towards the target below the altar.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the screen, silently praying for success this time.
As the bunker buster made contact, the ground began to shake, and plumes of dust rose from around the altar, as if the entire ground was trembling.
"Damn it! Something seems off?"
The tactical commander of the lighthouse kept a close eye on the activity on the screen.
"Wait a minute? It looks perfectly normal to me. It seems like the detonation was successful."
"No!" The tactical commander of the lighthouse shook his head with a grim expression: "Our bunker-buster bombs don't make that much noise."
The review failed.
It seems like Shenhe's cerebellum is blocked by a cerebral thrombosis. He didn't let me have a check-up, and no one was there to handle it on my day off.
Chapter 555 Heavy Casualties
Everyone was stunned once again as they stared at the altar that was almost "shattered".
Some harsh static came from the communicator, casting a shadow of unease over the quiet conference room.
The tactical commander of the United States grew increasingly serious, his fingers flying across the control panel, data and images rapidly refreshing the screen.
"Your country's bunker buster bombs don't make this much noise?"
Director Wang confirmed again, his voice tinged with urgency.
"Yes, our bunker buster bombs are designed for precision strikes. While their detonation power is strong, it is far from causing such a violent shock."
The voice of the tactical commander from the United States was full of certainty, but then his face turned pale.
"Who is making that noise at the altar?"
The atmosphere in the meeting room became oppressive, and everyone's heart was filled with unease and fear.
Think carefully!
If the vibrations weren't caused by their bunker buster bombs, then where did this force come from?
Director Wang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to panic; they had to quickly find out the cause and develop a solution.
"Immediately check the status of all bunker buster bombs to confirm that all warheads have detonated. At the same time, have the reconnaissance team conduct full surveillance around the altar. I need to know what happened!"
Director Wang's voice issued a series of commands through the communicator.
The technicians got busy, data streams scrolled rapidly across the screens, and the reconnaissance team's drones began to converge on the altar area, preparing for a detailed reconnaissance.
Soon, the reconnaissance team's footage was transmitted back to the command center, and everyone's eyes were glued to the screen.
