In the city of Tokyo, some remaining soldiers hiding in dilapidated houses saw the magnetic rails on the top of high-rise buildings through the tracer light curtains in the sky, as well as the flashing trajectories of the magnetic rail artillery shells.
They risked their lives by using a satellite phone to notify a radar station 200 kilometers away to warn them of this message. However, the answer they received 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 non-element substance on the surface of the rail-mounted projectile has changed into a multi-band electromagnetic wave stealth paint, which can absorb and attenuate incoming electromagnetic waves, microwaves and infrared.
On the other hand, the artillery shell flies too fast, its excellent aerodynamic shape and extremely high muzzle 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: "Warship."
"Hahaha."
The officer smiled hard and said: "You don't know about the curvature of the earth, do you?"
The vast majority of warships from the US military and the Japanese Self-Defense Force are currently in the Ryukyu waters, confronting the East China Sea Fleet.
That place is a full 1,300 kilometers away from Tokyo. How could the artillery shells shoot so far?
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if this railgun has an exaggerated track, it can deliver the projectile 1,300 kilometers away.
Affected by the curvature of the earth and the disturbance of airflow during flight, the artillery shell will also deviate very far when it flies to the target location, which may be several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers - the artillery shell does not have the ability to independently guide like the missile.
Li Ang did not refute, but said calmly, "I used the waverider configuration."
The officer's pupils instantly dilated in disbelief.
After the cannonball passes through the dense atmosphere, the shell melts at a slow speed, revealing the flat wedge-shaped structure inside, with smooth tail fins on both sides of the tail.
It doesn't look like a cannonball or a plane at all, more like an aircraft from the future era.
The change in aerodynamic shape and the influence of gravity caused the aircraft to slowly descend, gradually touching the top of the dense atmosphere and about to fall into it.
call!
Strong winds blew, the aircraft's shape design and the shock waves generated by hypersonic flight created strong lift, pushing the aircraft out of the dense atmosphere.
Just like surfing on the sea, the aircraft glides smoothly against the atmosphere with an elegant and tranquil posture.
This is the waverider configuration.

"Director, why don't we take action?"
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 but ask.
".hold on."
Xing Hechou, the director of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, a burly man in military uniform with a Chinese character and a resolute expression, put down his binoculars and shook his head.
It was pitch black on the sea, but Xing Hechou, as a person with supernatural powers, could clearly see the US Navy aircraft carrier battle group twenty nautical miles away through the telescope.
Twenty nautical miles, for the navy that emphasizes beyond visual range strikes, it is almost as close as a close dance.
"How long have you been waiting?"
The slightly anxious-looking Special Affairs Bureau officer codenamed Wanli Fengdao stomped on the deck and said angrily: "Are we going to wait until we collect the body of that Li Shaang?"
The East China Sea Fleet faced off for several hours with multinational fleets including the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier formation, the Japanese Self-Defense Force fleet, the Australian fleet, the South Korean fleet, etc.
The distance between the two sides narrowed from one hundred nautical miles to twenty nautical miles, and no one gave in.
"hold on."
Xing Hechou asked Wanli Fengdao to calm down, but he couldn't help but walked to the edge of the deck and clenched his palms tightly, leaving clear palm prints on the metal railing.
He also knew the concerns above. The city of Tokyo was in raging war, and the navies of many countries were confronting each other.
Once this matter is not handled properly, it may become the trigger for a world war.
'The above should have obtained more information, such as the effect of the meteorite, the current situation of Tokyo City, the bottom line of the US high-level officials, etc. '
Xing Hechou held the railing and thought wildly, forcing himself to calm down - there were also people with superpowers on the opposite fleet, and he needed to beware of the other party launching a gang-hopping war.
Suddenly, the fleet on the opposite side moved. As if they had detected something, they all left their original positions and scattered in a chaotic mess.
And the fleet commander took the lead in breaking the silence, contacting the East China Sea Fleet via radio and asking loudly, "Did you launch a hypersonic missile at us?"
missile?
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 missiles that reach speeds of Mach 8 or higher and can perform large maneuvers.
Because it is so fast, it can break through all defense systems and has no countermeasure weapons that can effectively intercept it. It is an important part of the nuclear deterrence of major powers.
Today, the only countries in the world that officially have hypersonic missiles in service are China and Russia. As powerful as the United States, it is also stuck in the test-launch process.
Therefore, after detecting the radar signal, not only the US fleet, but also Xing Hechou themselves were shocked, wondering whether World War III was really going to happen on this day.
call out--
Everyone heard it, and a sharp sound pierced the sky.
Immediately afterwards, explosions of flames rose from the deck of the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington of the US Navy's Seventh Fleet.
Boom! !
In the middle of the deck, which was 330 meters long and 76 meters wide, a deep crack almost split the aircraft carrier in two.
The five decks were penetrated, and billowing smoke mixed with steam rose.
The violent vibrations and shaking caused the F14 and F/A-18 fighter attack aircraft and EA-6 electronic warfare aircraft parked on the deck to tilt.
Four of the aircraft's mooring lines snapped and they slid 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 warship officer's shout came from the loudspeaker that everyone calmed down a little and put out the fire on the ship in accordance with the attack procedures.
After all, an aircraft carrier is a sea fortress. Even if the deck is so severely damaged, it will not sink into the sea immediately.
With such a sense of luck, the soldiers came to the deck with fire extinguishers, and then they saw a strange scene.
A large amount of black sludge spread out from the wound on the deck, slowly forming the human shape of an oriental young man.
Li Ang, or Li Ang's Mosi clone, first looked around at the messy scene on the deck, and then looked up at the sky——
Two MH-60S Knighthawk carrier-based helicopters that had been flying in the air pointed their searchlight beams at him.
Li Ang slowly opened his palms, and then clenched his fists.
The majestic power of thought poured out, like two invisible giant hands, grasping the helicopter in the sky.
The explosion-proof glass shattered inward, the high-speed rotating propeller blades broke and broke, and the digital display exploded with sparks and went out instantly.
Boom——
The two helicopters were crushed by telekinesis and crashed into the sea.
