Chapter 697 - 444: Ultimate Lion’s Roar, Satellite Shattered 2
And now, Wang Ye showed them that creatures are indeed capable of causing formidable destruction through sound, even surpassing organs naturally used for combat like fists.
"Such a small size, yet able to produce such a shocking shockwave without a sufficient resonance chamber..."
"How powerful must the Qi be to achieve this...?"
"I’m becoming increasingly curious about the structure of his body."
"Could his lungs be a dimensional space?"
Matthew couldn’t help saying, "If only we could scan him with modern medical equipment, but unfortunately, he probably wouldn’t let us..."
"Why isn’t someone like him from our country..."
Everyone shook their heads and sighed. At least at this moment, they wished humanity wasn’t divided by countries. Science transcends national boundaries, and human curiosity can overcome all barriers.
Sighs continued.
Their eyes remained closely watching the images on the screen.
They wanted to see how far Wang Ye’s shockwave could spread.
But the current situation didn’t allow them to continue observing; the shockwave had already caused severe destruction. The surrounding sea surged, fishes and shrimps were shaken to death, and some were even pulverized into nutrients for marine microorganisms.
Similarly, the shockwave was also spreading upward. Realizing this, Matthew’s face registered a slight change as he stood before the screen.
According to his temporary calculation, this shockwave could very likely reach the altitude of their satellite.
The low-orbit remote sensing satellite under their control was currently positioned directly above Wang Ye, only about a thousand kilometers away.
Given the current attenuation rate of this shockwave, hitting their satellite was almost a certainty.
"This is bad..." Matthew murmured.
"What happened?" asked the scientist beside him.
Matthew’s expression trembled slightly as he sternly instructed, "Quick... Quickly move the satellite to another area, or our satellite will be destroyed!"
"What did you say?"
"The satellite will be destroyed?!"
The surrounding scientists were shocked by Matthew’s words, especially a military officer standing in the corner, whose expression turned uncertain.
"Why would our satellite be destroyed? What did you discover?" the officer couldn’t help asking.
Although Matthew was one of their top scientists, extremely knowledgeable in both theory and practice, even within their elite team, the words he spoke now were hard to believe. He had to confirm whether Matthew was speaking nonsense.
Even the cheapest satellite costs tens of millions of US Dollars. The more expensive ones could approach one billion or more US Dollars, and the subsequent launching and maintenance are very costly, even for developed countries, it’s a significant expense. So they cherished every satellite dearly.
And now Matthew said this satellite was about to be destroyed? What did it mean? Would Wang Ye fly into the sky next and blow up this satellite? Not to mention the purpose of Wang Ye destroying the satellite, his current position is over a thousand kilometers away from it, even if he burst out at Mach 20 speed, it would take several minutes.
"It’s the shockwave, the shockwave Wang Ye emitted will soon reach our satellite, and by then the whole satellite will be destroyed!" Matthew said harshly.
Typically, a low-orbit satellite travels in a circular orbit at about 7.9 kilometers per second. If the satellite could leave along the orbit now, there might still be a slim chance for it.
But the shockwave emitted by Wang Ye would reach the satellite’s altitude in less than ten seconds, and then it would be too late for anything.
"I understand, I’ll go contact the technicians right away to remotely move the satellite!" the officer immediately turned and left in a rush.
"No... it’s already too late." A scientist murmured as he watched the screen.
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the screen.
The shockwave had already traveled a thousand kilometers and reached the low-orbit satellite’s position.
They could see with the naked eye a jolt in the image, and then the solar panels on both sides of the satellite were the first to be shattered.
Then the image became fuzzy.
They lost contact with the satellite.
"The satellite... has really been destroyed."
"Damn it, still a step too late," Matthew gritted his teeth.
He knew the shockwave was fast, but didn’t expect it to be that fast,
they had not implemented effective measures before the shockwave already destroyed the satellite.
Now they have completely lost the ability to monitor Wang Ye’s actions, unable to know his next move.
The atmosphere in the control room suddenly became silent, even the officer who was about to contact the technicians to remotely control the satellite froze in place,
as the satellite exploded, where would he go?
A moment later, the officer convened a meeting with everyone, and the content of the meeting was everything Wang Ye did at Nemo Point just now.
They needed to quickly assess the risk Wang Ye might pose to them, his psychological state, and his hostility towards them.
Although the video lasted only a few minutes. The role of science is to infer more things by summarizing some limited and fragmentary knowledge. Just like humans cannot see or touch many celestial bodies in space, yet through the extremely limited information observed by telescopes, they can meticulously analyze their development process and internal structure, forming a complete astronomical system.
What they couldn’t understand was how Wang Ye’s shockwave could directly destroy a satellite at a height of one thousand kilometers.
Moreover, it destroyed the satellite so thoroughly.
It’s known that as a shockwave travels a certain distance, it undergoes a certain degree of attenuation. Even the shockwave from a nuclear explosion can spread only a few kilometers, which is remarkable.
Yet Wang Ye’s Lion’s Roar emitted a shockwave that spread over a thousand kilometers with such astounding destructive power and devastation.
The fact that satellites can remain in high altitude circular orbit also illustrates that their materials are not fragile, at least ordinary floating objects colliding into them rarely cause destructive damage.
Since the shockwave can destroy satellites, it also means it can level buildings and demolish any structure.
From this perspective, if Wang Ye were to release his Lion’s Roar in a city, the shockwave it produced might directly spread across an entire nation, leveling it.
This is a terrifying thought.
The only difference between Wang Ye now and a time bomb,
is that the time bomb’s explosion moment is predictable, whereas Wang Ye’s is unknown.
With such a formidable adversary, where should they go in the future?
Meanwhile, domestically.
Similar to North America, a discussion meeting commenced here too, and its topic was equally Wang Ye.
Although they hadn’t specifically arranged low-orbit satellites to monitor Wang Ye’s movements in advance, since they had enough satellites and had always been consciously tracking Wang Ye’s movements, the satellites located in medium-high orbits still detected the impact of Wang Ye’s eruption.
They knew that Wang Ye’s destructive power spread hundreds to thousands of kilometers away, and capturing such terrifying destruction was expected.
Yet, unlike the grave and worried attitudes of other countries, Wang Ye’s home country’s government had already established collaboration with him, so facing the test and destruction Wang Ye caused at Nemo Point, they felt only excitement. Wang Ye was truly impressive.
