Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 20: Intercept failed

"Did it blow up?" At the same time when Chen Xin asked this sentence, the current federal leaders in the presidential sanctuary in the Federation far across the ocean were also asking the same question.

　　 It's just that he asked about another meteorite, which was four kilometers in diameter and was crashing into North America, which should have been intercepted by the Lucians.

　　In order to intercept this meteorite, the Federalists fired nuclear bombs again, a total of five strategic nuclear bombs of ten million tons equivalent.

And the explosion of the five high-yield nuclear bombs also put all the detectors and observation equipment in their nests. If you want to know the result, you can only know when the radiation and the fire from the explosion dissipate.

"Sorry, Mr. President, we are currently unable to confirm the situation at the scene. All equipment is out of order." An officer reported to the federal leader that he had never seen such a situation where fifty nuclear bombs exploded together.

　　 But after the officer finished speaking, he urged the other staff to find a way to restore the observation equipment.

Soon, a staff member seemed to have called the observation equipment elsewhere to redisplay the picture on the large screen of the shelter, and saw a huge fireball in the sky emitting light and heat, and constantly Swelling.

　　 Seeing this scene, everyone was a little excited. Obviously, the nuclear bomb had a hit to produce such an effect.

　　 just looking at the huge fireball in the sky, someone asked with some doubts: "Is the only effect of five nuclear bombs?"

　　No wonder there is such a question, because although the fireball in the sky is huge, it is larger than the mushroom cloud that can be produced by a nuclear bomb explosion under normal circumstances. Although there is no mushroom cloud in an air blast, this size is a little bit bigger. Not quite right.

　　 Just when everyone was puzzled, a large number of bolide rushed out of the fireball and smashed down towards the ground.

　　 "This is!" Everyone suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly operated the equipment at hand, trying to figure out what was going on.

However, just as everyone was busy, more and larger bolides rushed out of the fireball and fell towards the ground like rain, and their landing point was North America.

"Damn! Who can tell me what the **** is going on!" The federal leader used several words beginning with F to express his emotions, trying to figure out what was going on.

　　 It's a pity that things are not just swearing, and federal leaders are not Hulks. The more angry they are, the more powerful they are.

　　 Despite a series of swear words, throwing all the demeanor of a country’s leader into the Atlantic, the federal leaders did not figure out what the situation was.

　　 Just when he couldn't help but want to smash something, a staff member finally figured out what was going on.

　　"Mr. President, figured it out! Since the nuclear bombs we launched were not detonated at the same time, in fact only the first two nuclear bombs hit successfully detonated. The other nuclear bombs were affected by the shock waves generated by the explosions of these two nuclear bombs. It was directly destroyed and did not detonate." The staff hurriedly reported to the federal leader.

This situation was expected in advance. After all, the detonation of five nuclear bombs at the same time has never been done before in human history. The reason why the Federals launched so many nuclear bombs is only to ensure the hit rate, not Hope that all nuclear bombs will explode.

　　 So this situation is also within the acceptance range of the Federal.

　　 "Then what's the matter with the bolide? Are they meteorite fragments?" An staff member next to the federal leader hurriedly asked, this is also a topic that everyone cares about most.

　　"It’s a meteorite fragment! The nuclear bomb smashed the meteorite, but not completely! NASA’s observations showed that it was broken into a large number of fragments and is heading towards the west coast, including a large piece about one kilometer in diameter. Fragments!" The staff hurriedly told the latest news they had obtained.

　　 "What?!" Everyone in the refuge couldn't help being shocked.

When they heard that they were meteorite fragments, everyone was not too nervous, because the size of those bolides did not seem to be particularly exaggerated. Even if they hit the ground, they would just smash the city with potholes, and post-disaster reconstruction would be a little more troublesome.

　　 But a meteorite with a diameter of one kilometer fell down. Although it does not have the horror of the destructive power of a meteorite with a diameter of four kilometers, it can destroy the entire Federation!

　　 You must know that a 30-kilometer-diameter crater discovered by scientists in Greenland was hit by a one-kilometer-diameter meteor 12,000 years ago! According to scientists' calculations, the seven kilometers thick crust was smashed through!

　　 The crater is just the most direct damage caused by a meteorite impact, and the series of secondary disasters that follow are the most terrifying.

　　 "Mr. President, what shall we do? Please give the order!" The previous officer looked at the federal leader. At this time, as the elected president, it is time for him to stand up and make a decision.

　　 Following the officer's words, everyone in the shelter turned their eyes to the federal leader~IndoMTL.com~ waiting for him to make his decision.

　　 However, his body shook a bit and almost fell.

The federal leader who held the table stabilized his body, looked at the people in the shelter at this time, and asked with some difficulty, "Can you still launch a nuclear bomb to intercept it?"

　　 "Sorry, Mr. President, it's too late." A staff member hurriedly replied.

This answer made the federal leader feel darkness in front of him, he had to raise his other hand to support his forehead, took a deep breath and said, "Through all channels, let the outside world announce this news. ! Let all people take refuge, and let NASA calculate the meteorite landing point and evacuate as much as possible..."

Having said this, the federal leader took a breath and resumed some state before continuing: "In addition, I declare that the federal government will enter a special state from now on, and the wartime system will be implemented, and the country will implement military control. The state governments, the National Guard, The police must earnestly perform their duties and maintain social order...until we survive this disaster."

When the federal leader said these words, everyone in the entire sanctuary was listening quietly. The atmosphere was so oppressive and silent that it was extremely uncomfortable. A female staff member bit her own His lips nervously held the hem of his clothes.

In the end, the federal president finished his order, looked at the still silent crowd, and said with a sigh: "Although the president of the federal government should not say such things at this time, I still want to say, may God Bless America."

After speaking, the leader of the federation found a chair and sat down, watching the busy crowd and asking the staff next to him, "How is the interception of the Lucians? They sacrificed the federation. Did you save Blue Star?"
