Did the world end today?

Chapter 43: A Sudden Arrival!

"Place"

"Turn the convoy around!"

Before the skull could finish speaking, Lin Xu immediately gave the order in an unquestionable tone:

"The plan has changed; we're not going to attack Sky Dome Technology anymore."

"We need to enter the Purple Mountain Observatory, breach the Beigaofeng Deep Space Observation Station, obtain communication access to the deep space observation station, and broadcast to all extraterrestrial stations."

"The broadcast targets include space stations, satellites, lunar bases, and Mars bases."

"Anyway"

"Wait a minute?!"

The skull's eyes were wide open.

"You want to call the Purple Mountain Observatory?? Do you even know what that is??"

"That's in the Zhongshan Scenic Area! You don't know what the Zhongshan Scenic Area is, do you?"

"That's the largest cadre sanatorium in the country! They've deployed an entire company of soldiers there!"

Do you want me dead?

After he finished speaking, it was Lin Xu's turn to be stunned.

Indeed.

When I first assessed the difficulty of occupying the Purple Mountain Observatory, I only considered the security of the facility itself, without taking into account the security level of the surrounding area.

In fact, the Zhongshan Scenic Area next to the Purple Mountain Observatory is the toughest nut to crack!
"Let's go first!"

"We're not going to attack the sanatorium! We're just passing by!"

Lin Xu took a deep breath and then continued:
"If conditions are right, we can also infiltrate."

"Don't worry, the defenses at the deep space observation station aren't too strong. We'll get in and out quickly. Once you get me in, you can lead the team to evacuate!"

"What do you mean 'it's not too strong'?!"

The skull gritted its teeth and gave the order to start the car, then said:
"You simply don't understand; breaking in isn't as simple as you think!"

"It's 2045 now. Wars are no longer about firepower, they're about information!"

"Our team's biggest advantage is its technological advantage; we have the ability to establish electromagnetic dominance!"

"That's why we dared to take your mission and come to attack this space base!"

"Because we can implement one-way electromagnetic shielding against the security in the base, we lose our information advantage, and we can easily infiltrate it!"

"But the Purple Mountain Observatory is different; there are regular troops stationed nearby!"

"Their electronic warfare capabilities are many times stronger than ours. Forget about establishing electromagnetic shielding; as soon as our electronic warfare equipment is turned on, they can lock onto our position in less than a second!"

"How are we supposed to fight like this? Tell me, how are we supposed to fight like this?"

"I don't care, this is your problem to solve."

Lin Xu shook his head and said:
“It takes 24 minutes to get to the deep space observatory from here, but I need at least 20 minutes to complete the information broadcasting and receiving.”

"In other words, we only have 15 minutes to breach the deep space observation station and gain full access."

"You don't have much time left, hurry up!"

"What the hell?! Are you crazy?!"

The skull couldn't help but start cursing, but Lin Xu raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Scolding, even scolding takes time!"

"Do you still want your money? If you do, hurry up!"

"I've had the worst luck imaginable!"

The skull is gritting its teeth.

He looked down at the map, then quickly analyzed:

"There is an elevation of 400 meters and a distance of nearly 1 kilometer from the entrance to the deep space observation station."

"No matter how you calculate it, it's impossible to get through. Even without considering security, there's not enough time. The only way is to use a helicopter to break in."

"But helicopters are too big of a target, and in the past they were directly identified and shot down by air defense radar."

"The entire Zijin Mountain area is a no-fly zone for drones, so we have no way to use high-altitude reconnaissance methods to determine the radar coverage area in advance."

There's only one way left.

"parachute?"

Lin Xu interrupted and asked.

"Jump my ass!"

The skull took a deep breath and gave the order over the radio:

"Old Ma, find a way to get seven EVTOL units over here!"

"Hurry up! We'll arrive at Qixia Mountain in 8 minutes, and then take off directly from Qixia Mountain to our destination!"

"The equipment must be in place within 8 minutes! Understand?"

"clear!"

A slightly aged voice came through the earphones, and after hearing about Skull's plan, Lin Xu couldn't help but admire it.

Professionals are just different!
He just blindly rushed forward, but the skull had already started deploying new equipment!

What is EVTOL?
A multi-rotor manned aircraft! To put it more vividly, it's probably a large drone that can carry people into the air.

In my own real world, this kind of thing had already developed to a fairly mature stage.

Now, after another twenty years of development, this thing will only become more powerful.

Nothing is more effective than using this equipment to organize low-altitude raids.

Lin Xu felt a little relieved.

It seems that although the skull was reluctant, he still intended to give it a try.

"Let me make this clear first!"

The skull turned to Lin Xu and solemnly said:

"We're only responsible for getting you in; we don't care about anything else!"

"Six of them will be responsible for attracting the attention of ground-based air defense systems, creating opportunities for you to break through."

"We will evacuate immediately after you land."

"We will no longer undertake any subsequent combat missions. Whatever you want to do, you will have to rely on yourself."

"do you understand?"

"Why should I?! I paid!"

Lin Xu frowned and said.

"No matter how much money you offer, I'm not going to directly confront the authorities! This isn't a combat mission, it's suicide!"

"Changing the mission at the last minute is against the rules. This is all I can do. Whether you go or not is up to you!"

".go!"

Lin Xu answered through gritted teeth.

The skull is absolutely right.

I paid them to attack Tianqiong Technology, not to attack the Purple Mountain Observatory.

He had already refused the last time I asked him to raid the police station, so it makes sense that he would refuse again with the same reason.

but it does not matter.

My biggest advantage is that I can try and fail repeatedly.

Even though it's just one person, as long as the equipment is in place, there's still a chance to break in.

After all, deep space observation stations are not military facilities, and their security level is relatively low.

With a comprehensive advantage in equipment and firepower, it wouldn't be that difficult to break through.

At this point, the convoy had already sped all the way to Qixia Mountain.

Lin Xu followed the skull off the vehicle and quickly began to put on his equipment.

Body armor, helmet, thermal imager, silenced pistol, rifle, stun grenades.
This was Lin Xu's first time participating in battle in full armor, and after he finished dressing, seven aircraft had already landed on the platform at the top of Qixia Mountain.

"All of them are EVTOLs with legal flight permits."

The skull stepped into the aircraft and then said:
"We will directly enter the no-fly zone and fly towards the Purple Mountain Deep Space Observation Station."

“Generally, we will receive a total of three warnings.”

"The first warning is just a verbal warning to return to base and disengage. If the second warning is ineffective, jamming equipment will be used. If the third warning is ineffective, fire will definitely be opened directly."

"The entire process of the three warnings lasted a total of 60 seconds—or roughly that number."

"So, once you're spotted, you have to fly to your destination and land within 60 seconds."

"do you understand?"

"clear."

Lin Xu nodded solemnly, then stepped into the aircraft.

"Will it be open?"

The skull asked again.

"will not."

Lin Xu shook his head honestly.

"But you'll do it next time."

"Next time?? You want a next time?!"

The skull looked at Lin Xu as if he were an idiot.
