Chapter 6: Wildfire, Spreading (4)

Countless lights flickered in the field of vision, and the swirls were connected to form dazzling spots.The tilt-rotor gunboat turned at a large angle in the air, and the roar of the engine was deafening.The flapping-wing and quad-rotor reconnaissance drones flew up and down like a swarm of locusts; searchlights shot down from the top of the tower, patrolling around as if there was life.Two cavalry chariots traversed the road, and the 40mm unmanned turret turned happily, moving smoothly like butter.

Suo Zhongwu looked at the base and couldn't help but tsk.According to the information he excavated, no regular army could be found in this place, and all the weapons and equipment belonged to a private security company.However, the vehicles that appeared in front of them were all military models in active service, and only part of the information chain and other subsystems were castrated.

If he is not invisible, he will be spotted by security personnel 5 kilometers away.The gunboat will fire guided rockets like raindrops, and the cavalry will also accurately shoot short bursts, using 40mm countersunk bullets to restore the pickup to parts.Military contractors patrolling on foot will not let go of opportunities to play. Rocket launchers, programmable grenade launchers, and general-purpose machine guns will immediately cluck and slap the entire land with smoke.

Suo Zhongwu had suffered from these big guys' losses, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.He always stared at these war machines.The pickup's speed was reduced all the way to ten kilometers per hour, stopped and drove around for a quarter of an hour, and then the high-mobility off-road vehicle that ended the patrol slipped past the gate of the base.

The lifting rod was lowered-raised, no matter whether the sentry or the camera was found to be abnormal.Suo Zhongwu breathed out a breath and continued to drive north, turning off the lights on the road as usual. Whether he encountered an armored vehicle or a patrol on foot, he would stop for the time being.He spent more than seven minutes on the distance of several hundred meters, and his speed was actually slower than walking.

It wasn't until the pickup truck was driven into the employee parking lot that Suo Zhongwu let go of this caution.This place is reserved for maintenance workers. Usually there are few people going in and out. There are only a few commuter buses parked empty, and they are all covered with waterproof tarpaulins.The number of surveillance cameras is also very small, only four are hung on the light poles, and they are generally covered with dust, and it is not necessary to turn around for a long time.

Suo Zhongwu pulled the car door, moved his feet to the ground again, and by the way compared his middle finger to the light pole.He abandoned the pickup to the spot, and would not use it again on the return trip, but still remained invisible, drifting towards the exit of the parking lot like a ghost.FBI agents came to investigate afterwards, and they would definitely be tortured by the out-of-state broken car that appeared out of nowhere, and all of them would lose their hair, and they would not be able to figure out why they worked overtime overnight.

But this is all for the future.In order to cause great chaos at the senior level in North America, Suo Zhongwu must first complete the feat of pulling teeth from the jaws of a tiger, and bring him upside down in the core area with the most defenses and the highest level of security on the entire base.

A circular concrete wall unfolds in front of you, and dozens of smart weapon stations stand on top of the battlements.The military contractor carried a four-legged robot dog, patrolling continuously along a fixed route.Countless manpower and material resources are concentrated here, taking care of the giant missile silo.

That's right, the missile silo.This abandoned military base was originally built around this silo, and it burned 5 billion dollars in just one year.The North American Air Force’s 377th Base Wing once deployed a missile squadron here to serve the large and powerful “Neon Division” interstellar ballistic missiles.

This giant missile has a projectile diameter of 6.2 meters, a projectile length of 58.7 meters, and a take-off weight of 1482 tons, which is comparable to a light frigate.It can carry 27 sub-guided wave-riding warheads and twice as much jamming decoy. It can circle the earth to strike any target in the world, or fly directly to the moon to bomb energy companies in unfriendly neighboring countries.

In 2150, when the "Neon Division" first deployed the North American Air Force, there was indeed no weapon in the world that could match it.For three years in a row, it has been the most powerful in the missile industry. It has made various groups in North America very proud, and they have not forgotten to brag B when traveling abroad.

But the shortcomings of "Neon Division" are equally obvious.It is the first generation of interstellar ballistic missiles. The reliability is horribly low, and the failure rate is so dazzling that even Batman can't be saved.For example, the most sophisticated and critical navigation system was in a mess at the design stage. The missile has the ability to reach the moon only after five years of actual service.

In addition, this problem baby is also very expensive, not expensive in general, from parts to labor costs are all expensive.Its manufacturing man-hours exceed ten ordinary intercontinental ballistic missiles, and each missile needs at least five months to be tested at the factory. If it is to be officially delivered to the Air Force, it will have to wait another two months.During this period, the meals and travel expenses of the military and manufacturers alone can make the Pentagon's civilian staff look ashen.

North America originally planned to equip 80 "Neon Divisions".However, the shortcomings of the pile of missiles caused the plan to be interrupted by one fifth.In 2179, due to high maintenance costs and various accidents, the North American Air Force was forced to retire all "Neon Division" missiles ahead of schedule, and silos and supporting bases were also abandoned.

According to public information, the North American Air Force used eight of the sixteen launch bases for other purposes, and eight were completely abandoned.The abandoned base is said to have been sold to the state where it was located, but the use of the relevant plots is a cloud of fog. Even if the Pentagon and the state government website apply for disclosure, only useless documents painted with black bars can be found.

However, this level of confidentiality measures is nothing to Suo Zhongwu at all.The reason why he came to the hinterland of Montana was precisely because he determined the whereabouts of one of the bases: he was bought by a super city's wealthy and used as a place to relax and entertain.

At first glance, the military base and the four-person club seem to be irrelevant.But the rich are not ordinary citizens. They go out to have fun. First, they don't want to be disturbed by other people. Second, their personal safety must be guaranteed. The "Neon Division" missile silo can perfectly meet these requirements.

In order to carry the giant-like interstellar ballistic missile, the silo must also be large.Hidden behind the circular retaining wall is a huge shaft with a diameter of 12 meters and a depth of 75 meters. In terms of volume alone, it is enough to blast Manhattan's largest and most luxurious nightclub to the scum.In addition to its large scale, this silo is reinforced by numerous trusses and steel beams, and coupled with a high-spec shock wave and overpressure top cover, it is no problem to withstand the bombing of the entire B-121 squadron.

Such outstanding protection, coupled with the extremely remote location, is the perfect place to engage in shady activities.
