Chapter 57: Preparing to Attack

"Little Cang, hmm, I don't see any connection marks on this Super Soldier's armor. Normally, some places would need screws or something similar to hold them together."

The old man withdrew his gaze and asked with some curiosity.

At this moment, Ye Cang was staring at the large screen in the Central Control Room, and the image on the screen was the current situation in Tianhe City.

Upon hearing the old man's question, Ye Cang explained without turning his head: "Normally, some places do need screws to hold them together."

"However, the Super Soldiers are not just wearing this layer of armor; they also have a Nano Combat Suit underneath."

"This Nano Combat Suit provides them with neural links, shock absorption, and many other effects, and they can control the Nano Combat Suit to change shape, creating the effect of mechanical hands."

"Based on this effect, I changed some of the armor's fixing points to internal ones."

"Doing this brings about two changes: one is the appearance, and the other is security; the armor can only be worn or removed by the user themselves."

"But there are some small problems at the moment that haven't been solved."

"What problems?" the old man asked subconsciously.

"The carrying of the armor; it's impossible for a Super Soldier to wear the armor 24 hours a day," Ye Cang said, closing the real-time surveillance of Tianhe City on the screen.

He then turned to open the real-time surveillance of Earth's outer space.

One could see that dense Taotie Warships had appeared in the once-empty outer space of Earth, with a Cross Vanguard Flagship being the most conspicuous among them.

Ye Cang knew that the Taotie were about to launch an attack!

After seeing the current situation, Ye Cang said again: "Regarding this problem, I have already thought of a solution. I want the Micro-wormhole Transportation Technology and the Dark Matter Computing Cloud from Du Kaao."

"So this matter depends on you."

The old man nodded.

"Very well, I will have Little Du give you what you want, Little Cang. But as you said, the Taotie are about to launch an attack, and we must beat them back first."

"Hmm, I understand," Ye Cang replied.

He understood the other layer of meaning in the old man's words.

You have been busy for so long; it is time to show some results.

If your results are excellent, then everything is fine.

If they are unsatisfactory, then just pack it up and go to sleep.

And the reason the old man was here now was that Ye Cang had specifically invited him.

The purpose? Does it even need to be said?

Looking at the Taotie army on the screen, Ye Cang suddenly turned around and said to the old man with a serious face: "I want to ask you for something, please give it to me now."

After hearing Ye Cang's words, the old man smiled and said something as if he had expected it.

"Combat command authority?"

"I say, Little Cang, this is no joke. Can you, someone who does scientific research, handle this?"

"I can!" Ye Cang said decisively. "I absolutely have no problem, and I will resolve the battle at the fastest speed!"

"But I need absolute command authority, command authority that even Du Kaao and the Xiongbing Company cannot defy!"

Once these words were spoken, the old man rarely frowned.

"Absolute command authority?"

"Ye Cang! Do you understand what this means?"

"If something goes wrong, it is very likely that you will have to face a firing squad, and even I won't be able to protect you!"

When he said this, the old man had changed from his usual kind and gentle appearance, replaced by sharpness and seriousness.

But even so, Ye Cang had no intention of changing his mind, and his expression didn't even change.

"There won't be any problems. The losses might be a bit higher, but I will resolve them," Ye Cang said.

"Of course, I will resolve the issue of losses, and the rest is up to you."

The old man did not answer immediately, but stared fixedly at Ye Cang's eyes with his naturally imposing gaze.

After a long while, the old man finally withdrew his gaze.

"Little Cang, I will trust you once. From this second on, you will have absolute command authority, and everyone will listen to your orders."

"Of course, except for this old man; I have to be your safety net."

After the old man finished speaking, he took out his satellite phone and dialed a number.

Then he said a string of numbers and hung up the phone.

Five minutes later.

"Little Cang, go, do what you want to do, go and show your skills! Don't let me down!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang immediately understood the old man's meaning.

He immediately returned to the front of the screen.

"Zhizi, notify the soldiers stationed in and around Tianhe City to immediately evacuate all residents of Tianhe City with full force, and at the same time dispatch 1,000 Tianhe Transport Planes to help with the evacuation."

"I only have one requirement: within two hours, evacuate all residents in Tianhe City! Make Tianhe City an empty city!"

"If any residents are unwilling to leave, use mandatory measures!"

"Zhizi received!" Zhizi replied.

The next second, Ye Cang's order was relayed by Zhizi to Tianhe City, and the entire Tianhe City immediately began to operate to execute Ye Cang's order.

At the same time, all the Tianhe Transport Planes that had been parked all over the country for a long time were dispatched, rushing to Tianhe City to carry out the evacuation mission.

After confirming through real-time surveillance that the evacuation mission had begun in Tianhe City.

Ye Cang turned his gaze to Luan Bird No. 2 and No. 3.

"Luan Bird No. 2 and No. 3, immediately start taking inventory of the ammunition. Do not use the megaton-class nuclear bombs; confirm that the rest of the ammunition is sufficient, and move them all to the vicinity above Tianhe City for me."

"After I give the order, enter Tianhe City from three directions, and then give me full firepower coverage!"

"I want the missiles to cover the entire Tianhe City like a rainstorm!"

After this series of orders was issued, the old man standing to the side wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not speak and instead watched quietly.

About an hour later...

Ye Cang checked the evacuation situation in Tianhe City and the status of the other two Luan Birds.

After confirming that everything was normal.

He switched the real-time monitoring back to outer space beyond Earth.

Before Ye Cang could look closely, the old man suddenly walked to his side.

Pointing at the screen, he said, "Xiao Cang, look, there seem to be two people there."

Looking in the direction the old man was pointing, he saw two people wearing black armor floating in outer space beyond Earth.

Of these two, one was a man with black wings, and the other was a woman wearing a helmet with mechanical wings.

Ye Cang naturally recognized these two; they were Ge Xiaolun and Du Qiangwei.

Their appearance in outer space beyond Earth proved that those Taotie Warships would launch an attack immediately.

At approximately 4:00 PM sharp!

The Taotie would launch an attack on Tianhe City.

And the current time was around 3:00 PM.

(I changed the time Ye Cang woke up earlier to 1:00 PM.)

There was only 1 hour left until the Taotie attack.

There was plenty of time.

Thinking of this, Ye Cang looked back at the screen.

At this moment, Ge Xiaolun's face showed fear, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying existence; after he said a few words to Du Qiangwei, he hurriedly returned to Earth.
