In the middle of the night, Su Yi's massive project was causing quite a stir, and the neighbors nearby were getting restless.
Whoosh~~~!
Four hundred nautical miles away, at the White-Headed Eagle base on Godigaya Island, an ear-splitting siren wailed through the night.
The howling sound jolted all the White-Headed Eagle soldiers in the base awake in a panic.
By the time they had donned their gear and emerged from the barracks, they discovered that a tsunami had arrived without warning.
Fortunately, the tsunami wasn't large enough to completely destroy their base.
However, the warships docked in the base's harbor were not so lucky.
Without any chance to escape, they were directly swept ashore by the sudden tsunami and stranded on the island.
The command center in the base was in complete chaos, with a flood of information converging, leading to a conclusion.
"A source of vibration has been detected four hundred nautical miles southeast, with a magnitude exceeding 4, and a depth... right on the seabed?!"
The data from the White-Headed Eagle Empire's nearby seismic monitoring agency caused question marks to pop up in the minds of everyone in the base.
"The source of the vibration is on the seabed? What the hell? Tell them to investigate the situation thoroughly before reporting. I'll have them court-martialed for reporting such haphazard data!" The base's commander roared.
The communications personnel immediately complied, relaying the commander's words verbatim to the monitoring agency.
But moments later, a message came back:
"General, they confirm that the data they provided is accurate. They suggest that if you doubt their expertise, you should send a few helicopters to check it out yourself."
"Damn it, an earthquake and they want our military to look at the source? What good are they then?!" The base commander was furious.
But after calming down, he patiently asked:
"What else does their information say? Do they have a cause for the earthquake? How long will the earthquake last?"
Hearing this, the communications officer quickly replied:
"Reporting, General, the cause of the earthquake is unknown! The duration is also unknown. In fact, the tremors have not stopped since the seismic waves first appeared. The seismic monitoring bureau advises us to move all equipment to higher ground as soon as possible. As for the ships, we can only let them run aground and repair them later. Fortunately, the earthquake's magnitude has not increased and has remained at roughly the same frequency. The tsunami's intensity is not high, and generally, there shouldn't be any problems if you stay away from the coast."
"Oh, they also said they have contacted NASA, trying to get NASA to use satellites to observe the situation at the source of the earthquake. However, they suspect a volcanic eruption because NASA's commercial satellites found the sky filled with smoke and dust, making it impossible to see what's happening inside."
"The North Atlantic Command and the Department of Defense sent a message not long ago, hoping that our base can send military aircraft to investigate the situation."
This time, it wasn't the seismic monitoring bureau asking to send planes, but his actual superiors.
"Send planes to see what during an earthquake? The epicenter is under the sea. Our base's fighter jets can't even dive!" The base commander was very dissatisfied, thinking that the higher-ups were just bored and messing with people.
But he still sent two helicopters straight to the earthquake zone.
After sending the planes, the general glanced at the map and realized that something seemed wrong. He pulled the messenger over and said:
"You just said the source of the earthquake is four hundred nautical miles southeast?"
The messenger nodded blankly:
"Yes, sir!"
"That... isn't that the island that the Kyushu monkeys bought?" The base commander's expression turned serious as he used his finger to measure the distance on the map.
As a professional military officer, he knew the situation around the Godigaya Island military base like the back of his hand.
Not to mention the island that they were preparing to launch a large-scale landing to seize just the day before.
He couldn't be more familiar with it.
"The earthquake's magnitude isn't high, but it's constant..." Thinking of this, the commander's forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Damn it, no wonder the North Atlantic Command and the Department of Defense noticed this small matter from tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Thinking about it carefully, this didn't seem like a natural earthquake at all.
"These sons of bitches aren't conducting nuclear bomb experiments on the island, are they?"
At this thought, the commander couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Without even thinking, he pushed the messenger away and shouted:
"Quick! Notify everyone. Forget about the equipment that can't be moved."
"Open the base's underground bunker. Everyone, quickly move to the underground bunker!"
With his imagination, combined with the data from the seismic monitoring bureau, the only thing he could imagine was a continuous nuclear bomb experiment.
But he couldn't understand why those damn Kyushu people would run to such a desolate place to conduct nuclear tests.
Isn't that crazy?
But as the military commander of a base, he had one advantage, which was that he generally didn't think about things he couldn't understand.
Instead of thinking so much, it's better to do something practical.
For example, right now, it seems like running away, but it actually has a deeper meaning.
He immediately had all the soldiers retreat into the underground bunker.
As for the equipment outside that was about to be submerged by the increasingly strong waves of the tsunami.
Let it be submerged.
The congressmen have plenty of money, and the base has plenty of accounts to balance.
It would be truly brain-dead to save all the equipment when encountering such a natural disaster.
Once it's submerged, he wouldn't have to do those ridiculous things like a tens of thousands of dollars cup anymore. All the bad debts can be cleared at once. Isn't that wonderful?
As for whether there will be a nuclear strike, it doesn't matter. As long as there is a risk of it.
Moreover, he had a feeling that they were really conducting nuclear bomb experiments there, and they might drop one on this base at any time.
He only gets paid so little a month. Why risk his life!
As for the crew members and special forces on those few planes that were sent out, he could only wish them good luck.
...
Su Yi had no idea that his repair of his island would cause such a big disturbance, scaring the soldiers in the neighboring White-Headed Eagle base into hiding in a nuclear bunker.
However, he was prepared for the commotion here to be discovered.
The high altitude had long been taken over by Tian Shu, and no one could see what was happening on the island through satellites.
As for the sea and low-altitude areas, after the island's security team escorted the personnel away, all five sets of powered armor had taken off and ascended to the sky to monitor the surrounding situation.
Not to mention military aircraft or anything else coming to check the situation, not even a bird could fly in at this time.
Although the radar on the powered armor had a limited detection range in this vast sea, there was still a landing craft in the sky watching. Any movement around it would not escape its eyes.
Su Yi was sitting on the landing craft watching the planetary mining machine below reshape the island. After receiving the news, he sent an order to the powered armor squad patrolling around:
"Drive away those flies. If they don't want to leave, then they don't have to."
