The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2165 Rocket Attack

The night deepens and everything is silent!
The stars are dotted in the inky sky, like playful elves, twinkling with beautiful light, like a profound painting; the bright silver moon, soft as water, sprinkles light on the earth, bringing a hazy brightness, making the world immersed in a gentle and peaceful dream.

The breeze gently blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound, which was particularly loud in the silence, but was soon drowned out by the sound of footsteps approaching from afar.

A man in black was measuring the hill with his feet step by step, and slowly climbed up the high hill. His clothes had blue glowing stripes on them, from his limbs to his chest and back, shining with light, full of a futuristic sense of technology.

At this time, the east was already bright, and it was time for day and night to alternate.

There is a sparse group of buildings at the foot of the mountain, but there are many buildings that are sixty or seventy meters high. The most conspicuous of them is the row of iron towers standing on the seashore, on which are painted huge TPC patterns and the logo of the Space Development Agency. Obviously, this is a space launch site affiliated with the Space Development Agency.

These neatly arranged tall towers are rocket launch towers.

Although TPC has entered the era of great space exploration with the help of the Max propulsion system, the rocket, a traditional sounding tool, has not been eliminated. Instead, it has been given a new function, namely, heavy-load transportation in space.

Once a space transport ship active in the solar system reaches the 10,000-ton level, it is basically impossible to rely on its own power to reach the second cosmic speed, thereby breaking through the atmosphere and flying to other planets.

Therefore, the rocket launch sites from the Defense Force era, after modernization, are now dedicated to the launch of spacecraft for interstellar transportation. Especially after entering the New Domain era, TPC began to build interstellar bases and space stations on a large scale. The demand for cargo transportation in the universe has increased dozens of times, causing the rocket launch sites that were once only used a few times a year to now launch several space transport ships a day, which has also led to many private enterprises joining the aerospace industry.

For example, now, three super-heavy carrier rockets ranging in height from 35 meters to 55 meters are erected on the three rocket launching towers near the sea, and in the final assembly workshop, only 200 meters apart, three space transport ships are lying quietly, waiting for the time of departure.

"It's time," the man said to himself as he looked at the rocket launch towers standing on the seashore, "Come out and show yourself."

As he spoke, the man pulled out a black "pistol" from his clothes, and pushed it upward with his left hand. The originally bent gun body suddenly became straight, and it was also split in the middle, revealing a deep groove.

Then, the man took out a thin card from his clothes with two fingers of his right hand and gently inserted it into the groove of the "pistol". The gun body suddenly lit up with several blue patterns and emitted an electronic synthesized sound:

Gomora!
As the sound rang out, the glowing cards seemed to melt and were absorbed by the "pistol", and the light from the gun body also spread out like a flow, drawing a net-like pattern on the gun body, and finally gathered at the muzzle, condensing into a beam of light, which was fired out, drawing a meteor-like stream of light in the air, and falling towards the rocket launch site at the foot of the mountain.

Although there was light in the eastern sky, it was still dark between heaven and earth. Such a bright beam of light was naturally very conspicuous, and the guards at the rocket launch site saw it at once.

"what is this?"

"Fireworks?"

Before they could say a few words, the blue light suddenly exploded like fireworks in the sky, turning into hundreds of thousands of streams of light, falling towards the ground.

But unlike fireworks, these streams of light, when falling, seem to be attracted to each other and intertwine with each other, outlining a huge outline in the blink of an eye, and then
Angry!

An earth-shattering roar broke the silence between day and night, echoing in the sky above the rocket launch site, shaking the houses and waking up many sleeping staff members. They sat up in panic, not knowing what had happened.

Only the night guard witnessed the whole process. His eyes were as big as bells, almost popping out, and his mouth was wide open. He wanted to shout, but his throat seemed to be blocked by a stone. He couldn't squeeze out a sound for a long time. When the deafening roar gradually subsided, he shouted heartbreakingly: "Monster. Monster!!!"

Amid his shouts of panic and fear, a monster as huge as a mountain fell from mid-air, and its body weighing tens of thousands of tons smashed heavily on the ground.

Boom!
In an instant, the mountains shook and the earth collapsed.

The specially reinforced hardened ground would only leave white marks even if a tank ran over it, but under the monster's feet it instantly shattered into pieces, crumbled into powder, and sank into a huge pit, allowing the monster's huge feet to sink deeply into it.

The towering buildings nearby were shaking at a visible amplitude, causing the rockets on the rocket launch tower to sway along with them. If you were close, you could even hear an ominous "creaking" sound. The various indicators representing the status of the rocket in the control room were sounding alarms one after another, and the screen was almost filled with red frames. It was obvious how much of an impact the shock wave from the monster's landing had on the rocket.

But all this was just caused by the monster falling from a hundred meters above the ground, and the monster itself hadn't even moved yet.

Looking at the rocket launch site that was thrown into chaos, the man on the hillside showed a rather evil smile on his face and said crazily: "The show has begun."

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The shrill alarm has been sounded, and searchlights are dancing in the sky, finally focusing on the monster. The first thing that is reflected is the crescent-shaped horn on the top of the monster's head. It looks like a bull's horn, but it is thicker than a bull's horn and the end is sharp like a thorn. It looks very sharp.

The neck was bent forward, and the huge head also leaned forward, stretching out a long distance. The gray-black hard skin was covered with circles of wrinkles, and the inside was quite dirty. There were countless gray-black stalagmite-like protrusions on the chest and abdomen. The tail was thicker than the legs, and the length reached thirty or forty meters, almost catching up with the height of the monster.

Illuminated by the searchlights, Gomora opened his round eyes, looking glaringly angry. Although his height was not even half the height of the rocket launch towers next to him, his fierce aura was undoubtedly revealed, which made people tremble with fear when they heard about him and were terrified when they saw him.

The man on the high hill looked at Gomora, who was surrounded by stars, and shouted, "Gomora, destroy as much as you want!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gomora, who had been standing in the same place since he landed, turned around abruptly, and his tail hanging on the ground suddenly swung up, cutting through the air at an extremely fast speed, making a sharp whistle, and hit the rocket launch tower next to it hard.

There was a loud 'clang', and the place where the tall iron tower was hit immediately sank a large area. The metal as thick as an arm was twisted into a knot under the huge force, and the overall load-bearing capacity was destroyed. It immediately tilted to one side, and with a 'creaking' sound, the rocket also fell along with it, and finally hit the ground. Boom!

The rocket, which was filled with a lot of fuel, exploded immediately after it fell to the ground, instantly blowing itself and the iron tower into pieces. Countless fragments shot out in all directions like cannonballs, many of which hit Gomora, splashing clusters of sparks and making crisp "ping! ping!" sounds.

If it were a flesh and blood body, not to mention the shock wave that was so close, even the metal fragments would have been riddled with holes. However, Gomora stayed safely in the raging flames that were rising into the sky. No matter how the flames licked him and how many fragments collided with him, there was not even a scratch left on his scales.

After smashing the rocket launch tower next to it, it turned around and grabbed half of the rocket launch tower. With a "squeak", it tore off the only remaining connection point, then raised it high above its head and threw it forward. Thousands of tons of iron frame flew out immediately, drawing a parabola in the air and crashing into a rocket launch tower a thousand meters away.

Giant steel objects weighing tens of thousands of tons collided with each other, making a sharp sound. The iron frame was immediately deformed, the rocket shrank instantly, and the fuel gushed out from the cracks like a spring. When it came into contact with the sparks, it was instantly ignited and quickly burned all over the iron tower.

The rocket launch tower suddenly turned into a 'torch' of several dozen meters, burning fiercely and emitting blazing light. At this dawn, it became the brightest 'sun', snapshotting everything around it into daytime.

A lot of fuel splashed on Gomora's body and then ignited, making Gomora wrapped in flames, but he walked forward in big strides. Every step he took left a deep footprint and a pit full of flames, making him look even more terrifying.

Thousands of miles away at the TPC headquarters base, a monster alarm sounded after the second rocket launch tower was destroyed. The shrill alarm woke the Super Victory Team from their sleep. They jumped up, grabbed the clothes beside the bed, put them on and ran out.

By the time Kibi Tsunosuke hurried to the command room, Koda Toshiyuki who was on duty had already called up the scene footage and projected it on the big screen. In the dim light, a monster with flames burning all over its body was roaring loudly with its mouth open. It swung its right arm and slammed the rocket launch tower next to it with its sharp claws, cutting off more than a dozen steel pillars at once, causing the expensive rocket launch tower to whimper as it tilted.

Kibi Gosuke hurriedly asked: "Another monster has appeared. Where is it?"

"On Tanegashima." Koda Toshiyuki immediately reported the location and called up more detailed information through the data link: "The Space Development Agency's space launch site, which also has an optical observatory, a rocket assembly workshop, an engine static ignition test bench, a comprehensive test workshop, and a meteorological observation room."

At this point, Koda Toshiyuki paused, his eyes widened, his tone changed, and he said with a bit of fear: "Oh my God, there is a rocket propellant storage depot nearby, which stores a large amount of high-purity energy."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Kihiko Tsunade's face suddenly changed, and he rushed over. He clearly saw the "High Purity Energy Storage Depot" in the list of facilities of the Space Development Bureau, and it was full.

“How do you save so much?”

Xibi Gangzhu suddenly became anxious. If so much high-purity energy exploded, the power would definitely exceed tens of millions of tons of TNT. The flames of the explosion would cover an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, and all buildings within the surrounding 400 square kilometers would be razed to the ground. The shock wave generated by the explosion could affect nearly 3,000 square kilometers.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Tanegashima as the center, the surrounding seas will be hit by huge waves, and an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square kilometers will be affected by the tsunami.

As for casualties, it is hard to say about other places, but everyone on Tanegashima could not escape. Even if not all were killed or injured, there were only a few survivors, and the losses were in the billions.

You should know that after years of development, Tanegashima, close to the equator, has developed into one of the very important rocket launch sites of the Space Development Agency. Last year, its transportation volume accounted for one-tenth of the total annual transportation volume of the Space Development Agency.

There are so many aerospace facilities on the island, which are priceless.

"Let's go now!"

Kibi Gosuke immediately gave the order, but Koda Toshiyuki did not jump up immediately as he had done in the past and then rushed to the hangar leading to the elevator at the fastest speed. Instead, he showed a hesitant look and then said, "Captain, should we notify the Trafiza team first?"

Kibi Kosuke, who was about to get his helmet, stopped running just as he started, and subconsciously wanted to turn his head, but he forced himself to stop by willpower.

He understood what Koda Toshiyuki meant. For such a long time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Super Victory Team had achieved very little in dealing with monsters, but the losses were not small.

The latest models of Victory Condors were dropped one after another, but on the other hand, although Trafiza had only been manufactured for a short time, he had already destroyed several monsters on his own.

Sit down!

No wonder the players think so.

but
Xibi Gangzhu took a deep breath and said, "But we are the Super Victory Team."

Although the Super Victory Team's record was mediocre, they were one of the elite selected from thousands and were given the name "super". Are they going to give up just because of a temporary disadvantage?

"Yes, Captain!"

Toshiyuki Koda immediately stood up from the computer, jumped over the table with a nimble leap, came to the equipment room, and hung all kinds of equipment on his body as quickly as possible.

Then, the door opened again and other team members rushed in in dishevel. Seeing that the captain and Koda Toshiyuki had started wearing helmets, they quickly straightened their clothes, picked up their helmets, and ran to the elevator leading to the hangar. They took the high-speed elevator to the hangar below, then got on the Victory Condor and completed the pre-departure inspection as quickly as possible. After receiving the command from the tower, they started the engine of the Victory Condor, soared into the sky from the open takeoff door, and flew towards the south towards the rising sun.
