Chapter 315 The Subtle Silence

Because this sea area has long been in the eye of the storm of public opinion around the world, especially the island reef illegally occupied by abandoned warships, it is exposed to the cameras of major international media 24 hours a day.

Spy satellites high in the sky, drones occasionally flying by, and foreign journalists passing by by boat to take pictures from time to time—almost all of them are paying attention to the situation of the warships on that island reef.

At the slightest sign of trouble, these Western media outlets will rush to report it immediately.

However, this live-fire exercise of the electromagnetic railgun beyond visual range truly exceeded the imagination of all Western military experts and media.

Just a few minutes of live footage was missed, and an entire abandoned warship with concrete fortifications was wiped out of the real world!
Neither the Pentagon nor the Western media can determine what equipment, weapons, or tools caused this situation.

A normal cruise missile would certainly not be an option, because the missile's explosive charge is very small, and the destructive power of the explosion would be very limited when facing similar concrete fortifications.

This has been proven in practice both in the Middle East and on the battlefields between Russia and Russia.

Moreover, to destroy a warship within a mere few minutes of downtime would require at least several hundred missiles.

With such a large-scale and intensive use of missiles, even if the black monkey's radar equipment is inadequate, the America base stationed there will be an immediate detection response.

Therefore, after convening numerous military weapons experts and briefly discussing the disappearance of the warship, the Pentagon quickly crossed out the "missile" option.

Then, the American generals with their star-studded uniforms, along with the experts who arrived at the scene, began to speculate whether it was an unknown type of artillery that had done it.

Because only a large-scale, comprehensive artillery barrage could completely dismantle and destroy that abandoned warship in such a short time!
However, after observing the ships and fleets near the reef and the uninhabited area within hundreds of kilometers, the theory of "artillery" was quickly dismissed.

After all, the area around that island and reef is all ocean, and the neighboring islands and reefs cannot provide similar firing points for cluster artillery fire.

Even if there were ships that could only carry artillery of this size, they would still be detected by spy satellites flying overhead.

So, after rejecting several weapon speculations one after another, the remaining options terrified the generals in America and the military and weapons experts at the Pentagon.

"Sir, based on our intelligence analysis, the possibility of eliminating a warship in a very short time is extremely low!"

"Either it's some kind of high-energy kinetic weapon for beyond-visual-range combat, capable of physically destroying that warship."

"Or it could be some kind of spacetime weapon similar to the 'time travel' concept in the game Red Alert, which directly teleported the warship away."

A weapons expert swallowed hard and voiced his final guess.

If it's the former, that's fine; America herself has done relevant research on kinetic weapons.

Things like the 'Rod of God' and the 'electromagnetic gun' are kinetic energy weapons that were already being developed in the last century, but their power is unlikely to be enough to destroy a warship in a short time.

China has also conducted similar research, especially on the 'electromagnetic gun', which has long been deployed on warships.

Therefore, the generals present were more inclined to believe that it was China's latest 'electromagnetic gun' that did it!
As for the so-called spacetime concept weapon, they absolutely refuse to believe it.

Because that thing is too futuristic. If such a weapon really existed, these American generals wouldn't need to sit in the Pentagon enjoying air conditioning and drinking coffee.

Just raise the white flag and surrender!

Sure enough, just as chaos erupted inside the Pentagon.

The footage from the on-site monitoring team quickly showed several marine debris-collecting vessels approaching the reef and beginning to remove warship wreckage and other pollutants that were affecting the nearby coral reef ecosystem. Upon seeing this, the Pentagon generals breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately!"

"It must be some kind of kinetic weapon; only a physical attack could preserve these wreckage," a major general staff officer said.

The mere thought that the other side possessed a kinetic weapon capable of striking targets hundreds of kilometers away beyond visual range filled the Pentagon generals present with renewed unease.

no way!
We've been hit so hard by the other side in recent years that everyone's become numb.

First, the sixth-generation fighter jets were crushed, and then an unreasonable "flying cube" appeared.

Then, when an unknown type of kinetic weapon appeared, the entire Pentagon burys its head in the sand.

……

In contrast, those black monkeys who lost a warship initially started making various protests on the internet.

When they saw that America had become an ostrich, shrinking her neck and not daring to utter a sound, they realized that she had become like an ostrich.

Seeing that things were not going well, the black monkey also quickly went into silence, ceasing all official or civilian discussions about the warship.

Even if someone spreads it privately, it's unlikely to be seen in mainstream media.

The entire Western media landscape fell into an eerie silence after seeing America's attitude.

No one talked about the warship anymore, as if the Black Monkeys' warship had never appeared on any of the islands and reefs in that sea area!
What's there to discuss about this?
Has China successfully tested another powerful new weapon?
Should we discuss America's latest major defeat in a certain sea area?
Even the big bosses on the surface have chickened out, so what can these international media outlets and black monkeys, who are just paying their dues, do?

In short, in this silent contest, all parties chose to protect themselves and avoid touching on the topic of islands and reefs, so as not to cause a bigger storm.

The silence of public opinion only highlights the subtlety and complexity of the event.

Of course, the Chinese government also remained tight-lipped about this matter.

When I opened the Douyin trending list, the singer in leather pants was once again the second headline.

However, the officers who had been watching the live combat footage of the special electromagnetic cannon supplied by the Magic Cube Group applauded and cheered when they saw the illegally grounded warship being erased in the blink of an eye.

They also developed an extremely strong interest in the MC electromagnetic cannon codenamed 'Thor'.

"This thing can be powered by Rubik's Cube batteries! It's definitely a model of military-civilian integration!"

"How about installing it on the Type 055 destroyer and replacing the traditional main gun?"

"I think we can build a modern battleship and equip it with dozens of these electromagnetic guns. When the firepower is unleashed, it will have unexpected effects on both enemy ships and amphibious landings."

"I think the solution proposed by General Jue, which involves installing it on the Flying Cube, is more reliable! We can launch a few shots from stratospheric altitude, and any air defense system will become a sitting duck!"
