Chapter 237 The Importance of Mecha

Within 5 minutes of the monster warning sounding, the monster route calculation team was all online, especially the Australian team members, who were online within 3 minutes.

Starting from the place where the monster first triggered the alarm, the nearby warships and aircraft moved there in an attempt to obtain the latest news.

"Where is the monster now? Is there any latest news?"

"I don't know yet, I just know that the place where the alarm went off was Osprey Reef."

"Osprey Reef, what is that place?"

When a member of the calculation team asked this question, an Australian member hurriedly said: "It is very close to Cooktown, but we feel that the monster will not land there, because Cooktown is just a port town, only tin The population of the mine and meat export port is only a few thousand, which is not suitable for the monster's attack target."

The implication is that Cooktown is too good to be worthy of a monster landing.

Judging from the attack targets of the first three monsters, the monsters will not attack non-big cities.

Whether it is a big industrial city, a big tourist city, or a big technological city, or directly as the capital, it must be a big city. A small town like Cooktown with a population of only a few thousand people is not high enough.

However, just in case, they still notified the Cooktown government and asked them to prepare for the transfer of personnel, so Cooktown was already in dire straits at this time.

Where there are official analysts, there are non-governmental analysts. Although non-governmental analysts do not have official information channels, and the most important thing is that they do not know where the early warning alarm is sounding, non-governmental analysts can also analyze. Their most direct information The source is the "party".

When the Cooktown government received the alarm from the superior, it quickly notified all the townspeople. The timid townspeople began to pack their bags and run away in a panic, but the bold townspeople directly started the live broadcast. one.

Some broadcast the panicked town live, some even interviewed the townspeople, and some went to the beach to film the moment when the monster landed.

This is a great opportunity to be famous!
Coincidentally, their live broadcast also gave private analysts a lot of information.

The folks are much more daring than the official analysts, comparable to a certain blog who directly started the execution of the Internet case. After seeing this situation, they immediately concluded: "It's just a blind chicken panic, it is impossible for a monster to attack this broken place."

"That's right, the population is only a few thousand, and it's still a small town. Isn't it too unreasonable to panic like this? Hahahaha!"

"I guess it's because I think I'm pretty awesome. After all, it's a small town in the free world. It should be stronger than the capital of Luzon. It's normal for monsters to come and attack me."

After a while, the facts proved their guess. The heat in Cooktown went down, and the heat in Cairns and Townsville came up, because the monster set off an alarm near the Willis Islands.

The Willis Islands are just southeast of Osprey Reef, and it can be seen that the monster has moved south along the continental shelf.

The sirens sounded again, and once the location was known, the official measurement team put Cooktown to the back of their minds and began processing the latest news.

Of course, the Australian members know the information about these two cities best, so they started to analyze it directly using Australian thinking.

"In addition to having the Great Barrier Reef and tropical rainforest that attract tourists from all over the world, Cairns is also thriving in business and trade development. It is an important city in Queensland, Australia, and monsters may go there."

"That's right, Cairns is still a seaport city. It is located on the Pacific coast in the northeast of the mainland. It has a very large population, about 15 people. It also has industries such as sugar refining, beef processing, and timber processing. It is a national sugar port and exports timber. , gold, tin, copper, dairy products, tropical fruits, etc.”

"The most important thing is that it is in the list of the top 500 cities in the world. Although it ranks relatively low, it is a very important indicator. You must know that there are more than 1 cities in the world, and being in the top 500 cities means it It is indeed a great city known all over the world.”

Hearing this, people from other countries are hard to say. Anyway, the surveyors in Huaguo are full of question marks.

That's it?

15 people?

Is it considered a big city?
As for the top 500 cities in the world, the rankings made by foreign institutions are well understood.

This is not over yet, several other Australian surveyors began to introduce Townsville.

"But Townsville is not bad, even better, because it is the largest city in northern Queensland, and it is also a port city. It is located at the mouth of the Ross River and is close to Cleveland Bay. Its population has reached 20. The largest settlement in the north!"

"Yes, yes, its hinterland includes the western mining and sheep grazing areas, the northern beef cattle breeding area, the coastal sugar industry areas, etc., with large meat processing plants, large copper smelting plants, sugar manufacturing, shipbuilding, steel products and other industries , an export port for meat and Mount Isa copper.”

"Townsville is one of the fastest growing regions in Australia. Its industrial density, government investment and major infrastructure construction ensure that it is a service center for minerals, coal, agriculture, tourism and tropical science in North Queensland. The market Its stability and strength are not inferior to major capital cities!"

"It also has a large-capacity railway and road network, combined with Queensland's third largest port, connecting North Queensland with the whole of Australia and the world, and most importantly, it also has Australia's largest military base!"

"Wait, Townsville has the largest military base in Australia. It's impossible for monsters to go there, right?"

"Are you stupid, how could the monster know that there is a military base there, unless someone raped it and notified it!"

"You're stupid. Apart from polluting the environment, conventional weapons can't cause fatal damage to monsters, so what's the use of military bases?"

"Don't make any noise. There is a warship cruising off the coast of Townsville. It has already headed towards the Willis Islands, and it also carries anti-submarine helicopters."

"Great!"

The "Anzac" warship was ordered to patrol the sea before, and now they have stopped catching big black fish from other countries. Come catch the monster.

It's just that the monster hasn't appeared for several months, and it doesn't necessarily come to Australia when it appears, because Australia is a bad place, so the crew are just dawdling.

The crew members really liked this kind of task of messing around, providing sea subsidies, and being safe.

As a result, something bad happened to them today.

They have also seen the video of the monster invasion, and the scene is very frightening.

The length of the "ANZAC" is only 118 meters. The largest monster is more than 90 meters, which is 20 meters shorter than their warship. Their warship is only more than 3600 tons fully loaded, and the weight of the monster seems to be about the same. , and the monsters can't be killed with conventional weapons. Now if they rush to look for the monsters, isn't that asking for death?
The higher-ups also knew, so the command they used was scouting and searching, but if they really wandered to the side of the monster, could the monster let them go?
It's just that an order is an order. After receiving the order, they can only execute it.

Soon, I don't know whether it was good luck or bad luck. When they arrived at a similar place, they released the anti-submarine helicopter.

Because this monster is too obvious, not only does it have a huge back floating on the sea, but it also emits intense energy signals.

crew:"……"

"The monster is coming towards us!!" The soldier in charge of the sonar shouted.

"Mommy Fake!"

"Quickly, get out of here!"

"No, it's too fast, we can't escape at all!"

Aware of this problem, the captain broke out in a cold sweat. After pondering, he gritted his teeth and said, "Launch the torpedo and stop it!"

"No, Captain!"

The first mate was startled when he heard the captain's order and quickly stopped him: "Captain, this is the Great Barrier Reef. If we start a war here, the monster's venom will destroy the entire Great Barrier Reef!"

And just after he finished speaking, soldiers reported: "Impact in one minute!"

In an instant, the atmosphere on the bridge became tense.

"Bump in 30 seconds!"

As soon as the signal came out, the first mate was more anxious than the captain and shouted: "Shet! Throw down all the torpedoes and depth charges and kill it!"

"Yes!"

In order to survive, everyone on the ship moved, and they didn't notice that they dropped all the underwater ammunition in record time.

Moreover, after the first torpedo entered the water, the monster's swimming speed significantly slowed down, and it also moved to avoid the torpedo.

"Boom!"

The torpedo exploded directly in the water, causing a huge splash on the water, but there was no sign of injury to the monster.

But with more and more torpedoes, the monsters couldn't hide, and blue blood began to mix into the water.

Of course, these are not the concerns of the ship's personnel. They know that these things can't kill monsters. They just want to delay for a while so that the warship can escape.

It's a pity that they still underestimated the power of the monster. These explosives only blocked the monster for a while, and the opponent soon caught up.

After getting close, the sailors on the boat saw the monster's dorsal fin, which separated from the water and hit them with a lot of waves. They had no doubt that the "ANZAC" would be smashed into two pieces.

"fire! fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Boom~"

After the torpedo was launched, the ship's naval guns could only be turned to attack, but just after two shots were fired, the monster's dorsal fin hit the middle of the warship, instantly smashing the Anzac into two pieces, leaving only the anti-submarine aircraft it released flying. The helicopter was still circling in the sky.

But the monster seemed to have done nothing, and continued to swim towards the south. It was not interested in the sailors who fell into the water, nor was it interested in the city of Townsville next to it.

The anti-submarine helicopter recorded all these images, and the monster's route calculation team watched a live broadcast, and they were stunned.

In the past, due to the problem of early warning time, there were no warships to intercept them at all, and the monsters landed directly. They only saw the destruction of monsters on land, but they had never seen the combat effectiveness of monsters in the sea.

In fact, there is nothing to see. It is said to be destruction. In fact, it is just walking around in the city, knocking down various buildings. It is the same now in the sea. It is just swimming forward quickly and knocking down a warship that is firing wildly. Crash into two pieces.

"This……"

But soon they saw the picture of the monster diving, and the energy signal of the monster was also lost on the helicopter sonar, and they were a little panicked.

Not afraid of monsters appearing, as long as they show up, they can measure the landing range, and then evacuate the crowd in advance, afraid of monsters hiding.

If this suddenly landed in one place, it would be too late to evacuate the crowd.

But the monster didn't frighten them for too long, and soon triggered the alarm of a detector again, which was Kaito Island.

"It finally appeared, without landing suddenly!"

"Kato Island, it's really going all the way south."

"Then you don't need to look at the cities on the north side of Kaito Island. Which is the nearest city to the south?"

"It's Brisbane!"

"Brisbane?! Damn, I should have thought of that!"

Let's put it this way, Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, Australia, and the third largest city in Australia, with a population of more than 200 million, second only to Sydney and Melbourne.

The small city or town mentioned above is also competing for the crown in Queensland, and Brisbane has become one of the rapidly developing regions in the world because of its superior geographical location.

The world's top 500 cities can also be ranked in the top 100.

There is no need to say anything about the comparison between the regional level and the world level.

"Quick, there is an air force base in Brisbane, let the planes take off there, and go find the monster!"

Some people are already making suggestions, but others are continuing to study the map of Australia.

Speaking of big cities, there are several big cities south of Brisbane, such as Sydney, which is the essence of Australia.

Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and the largest and most populous city in Australia, with about 500 million people.

It is also the center of commerce, trade, finance, tourism and education in Australia. It is known as New York in the southern hemisphere and ranks among the top 500 of the world's top 10 cities.

Further south is also a big city. Although the population is only a few hundred thousand and it is relatively hip in all aspects, it is the capital of Australia, that is, Canberra.

And further south, there is another big city with a population of nearly 500 million, and it is also Australia's second largest city, Melbourne.

It is the capital of Victoria State, but also a world-famous tourist city and an international metropolis.

It is also an important industrial center in Australia, with relatively well-developed industries, including heavy machinery, textiles, papermaking, electronics, chemicals, metal processing and other industries, and industries such as automobiles, clothing, and food are very prosperous.Compared with Sydney, Melbourne's industry is more prosperous, and the degree of industrial modernization is higher.

So although Brisbane is also very good, compared with the three in the south, it is almost meaningless.

If Monster had to find a perfect spot in one place or country, Sydney or Canberra would be a better fit.

And some people are sure: "It's definitely Sydney! The target of this monster is definitely Sydney!"

Sure enough, in the panic in Brisbane, the monster headed south without even looking at it.

"It should be Sydney, notify the Sydney government to evacuate people from the coastline, and they also need to make a choice."

What choice?

Of course, it is the choice of where to drop the nuclear bomb.

"You can throw it away as soon as it lands, so the city will not suffer much loss."

"No, that will pollute the sea, that will also damage the city, and it will also float far away and harm coastal cities on the entire east coast!"

"Then wait for it to go a little deeper and blow it to death. It must not let it go too deep."

"Do you want to try to lure it to a desolate place and blow it up?"

"How to seduce?"

"Let tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery attack it and lure it out of the city."

"Then wouldn't it drop a lot of toxic substances along the way? It would be better to wait until it lands and blow it up with a nuclear bomb."

"Actually, the volatilization of a small amount of toxic substances is not terrible, as long as it does not directly pollute a large area with a large amount, there is no big problem."

As a project team directly related to monsters, the Mecha project team in charge of Zhou Shu can get information and broadcast from the domestic calculation team, and watch the whole process.

Listening to what they said, it seems that there is really no good way, unless they have a battle mech as big as a monster.

If that's the case, without waiting for the opponent to land, he will directly attack the opponent's head in the sea, and he will kill him in no time.

So they looked again at the storm crimson that had created half of it, thinking that the interval between the attacks was three months, so the next attack would probably be two months later.

There is nothing they can do about this attack, but before the next attack, they hope to create Storm Crimson.

Of course they don't want to use Storm Crimson, which means that monsters have attacked the cities of the motherland, but the mechas must be available.

And not only the mecha, but also the vehicle that allows the mecha to maneuver quickly. Ships are definitely not good, so it can only be an airplane.

It's just an aircraft that can transport several thousand tons of armor, does it really exist?
The transport plane with the strongest carrying capacity is only a few hundred tons. If we only calculate the data, it will take several planes to transport Storm Crimson together.

But when it comes to practical problems, how should we coordinate with so many transport planes transporting one mecha?
