BXBX NOVEL Chapter 446
Chapter 446: The Strongest Human Navy
“Not even blowing its head off did anything. Might its nervous system be reticulated like the helcionelloida??”
“But even if that’s the case, it should only be harder to kill. That can’t explain its insane recovery speed!”
“In this day and age, you’re still talking about science!”
“……”
In the Pentagon operations command room, experts and scholars from biology, physics, chemistry, and other aspects were observing and commenting on the fight, which caused the general who was temporarily appointed as the overall commander of the campaign to feel a great headache. He had a wealth of theoretical knowledge of combat, but he was more familiar with fighting against people and not this kind of monster.
“Professors, please be quiet for a while. I summoned everyone here to ask whether there is a good way to destroy this monster named Typhon.”
General Clint stopped the arguments of these professors and scholars from all major fields to ask a serious question.
For a moment, the entire room became quiet.
Many scholars looked at each other, and a biologist first said, “I’m sorry, General! Against that bizarre recovery speed, if… If only we knew how it works… If we can get some of this monster’s body tissues to study, maybe we can find out how it performs its near immortality.”
The biologist was huffing with excitement. Such a magical creature called the King of Demons was naturally something that interested him as a biologist. He wanted to study how the genes of this creature were composed.
“That’s right, general! If we can get its body tissue, we can not only study the reason for its immortality, but we can even use it in the field of medicine. This will be an epoch-making discovery! It might not be impossible to recover a severed limb or even increase the life expectancy of human beings anymore!”
An expert in medicine and other similar fields also supported the words of the biologist.
General Clint exhaled a foul breath and smiled bitterly.
In fact, there was no need to remind these experts. When the incredible recovery ability was discovered, the top of the government had already planned to obtain the monster’s tissue for research, but these kinds of studies took time. If Typhon was allowed to rampage on Earth, no one could afford the losses.
“Since human explosives could harm the Typhoon, I think we should just increase the firepower. As long as we can find a weak point in its recovery ability, we should be able to destroy it.”
“That plan is made with Earth’s creatures as the standard. We cannot take human standards and apply them to these mythical monsters. What if that monster could do that thing… the thing the Chinese describe as ‘sucking the essence of heaven and earth’? How could we ever wear out its energy?”
“…Then tell me, what else can you do?”
“……”
Seeing the experts begin to argue once more, General Clint told them to quiet down once more. Increasing the firepower and continuing the bombardment was probably the only thing they could do at this point.
Moreover, this battle was not solely America’s battle. The government from major countries had also promised to support the United States of America through ammunition and weapons to reduce the military and economic pressure on the United States of America. The only requirement was to solve this crisis and to set up a joint research group together to study the flesh and blood of Typhon.
The United States had agreed to this proposal. The world’s strongest country had also changed after a series of supernatural events. It was not as stiff as in the past and began to cooperate more in the new dynamic geopolitical environment.
‘Our battle isn’t without results. At the very least, Typhon is no longer concerned with the Hawaiian Islands. The army’s attack aroused its anger, saving the millions of inhabitants on the islands.’
General Clint thought this and instructed his subordinates to continue discussing the next battle plan.
……
Sixty nautical miles away from Typhon, the Seventh Fleet of the United States was on standby. At the same time, the Third Fleet was also transferred over and combined with the Seventh Fleet to form the largest fleet in the Pacific waters in the present day.
Hundreds of battleships were densely spread on the vast ocean in a bold and inspiring scene. This was perhaps the largest fleet that had been formed after WWII, and this time, the enemy was not Japan, but a mythical monster.
After several short-range contact battles, the American military had found Typhon’s basic attack patterns. One of them was that Typhon attacked within a range of 50 nautical miles.
Once close to fifty nautical miles, whether it was an F35 naval aircraft, an F22 fighter jet, or even a supersonic stealth fighter, Typhon’s bizarre flame ability would shoot out and annihilate them.
In myths and legends, it was recorded that Typhon could spit out flames, but who would ever think that it did so from the snakes all over its body? Moreover, it could spit out hundreds of potent fireballs.
These fireballs were extremely fast. Even supersonic jets would not be able to shake them off. There was also an automatic tracking function, but scientists were unable to experiment with what principle it was operating on.
It could even be said that even if the United States of America sent its entire air force in, the monster could spew out flames and annihilate the entire fleet within a few minutes.
If battleships were to enter fifty nautical miles, Typhons would set off a huge wave of boiling water, tearing the battleship apart and making the navy on board feel what hellish pain was like.
“However this monster is not without weakness. Its forward speed is slightly slower than our main fleet. We can keep kiting it. With its limited attack range, we could remain fearless against it as long as it doesn’t get on land.”
The admiral of the Third Pacific Fleet had taken over command of the battlefield. On a chart of the battlefield, the admiral drew a large circle which was exactly Typhon’s attack range obtained from previous tests.
“If this was ancient times… No, even during WWII, this monster is not something humans could defeat, but it’s different now. The vast majority of human weapons could now hit more than 50 nautical miles.”
“All ships should stock up on missiles. Do not enter the fifty-nautical mile range. Nearby bases will also send fighter support. All destroyers, prepare to empty your missile inventories and replace the main guns with missiles!”
The admiral of the Third Fleet issued a series of commands. The power of two fleets combined made a total of six carrier brigades and more than thirty destroyers. This was almost half of the American Navy’s power.
Seeing the huge fleet under his command, the admiral of the Third Fleet was proud and confident!
