The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse
Chapter 572 - 565

Chapter 572: 565

In a certain sense, to have already died and to be already dead are two different concepts.

Ram now had too many doubts, so he immediately said, "What do you mean? Xinghe, it is a critical time, and I hope you can tell me the answer right away, and very straightforwardly."

Xinghe thought for a long time, then she shook her head and said, "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but there are no suitable words. I can only say that Gao Yuan is in extreme danger now. His bodily functions have ceased, but he still has a chance to be revived. If we miss this opportunity and time, he will really die, um, truly and completely dead."

Ram immediately said, "Is there any way to save him!"

"Find him, and then there is a way."

Ram immediately turned to Aleborg and said, "Call the front-line troops, spare no expense, rescue Nemesis!"

After finishing, Ram looked again toward Xinghe, then he urgently said, "How did you know something happened to Gao Yuan? Do you have some kind of secret way to contact each other? If there is, please tell me, it’s very important."

Xinghe thought for a moment, then she softly said, "There is no secret mode of communication; I just know his condition. As for his current state, I can only say... near death."

Ram continued urgently, "Okay, then tell me, why did you say that there is no danger here, just Ram is in danger?"

"Based on my understanding of the Earth’s war pattern, I believe you don’t have to worry about suffering a swift and fatal defeat, because the Serpent People aren’t moving, nor are they coming this way. They have completely ignored this place. I have set up a warning, and if the Serpent People come, I will know."

She pointed to the Revelation held in Ashraf’s hands, explaining why she was aware of the Serpent People’s movements, then Xinghe continued, "The Serpent People will attack, the Sanitation Worker’s planes will come, because there is a signal source of the Serpent People flying in the air, flying at low speed."

This completely aligned with Ram’s own conjecture, so Ram urgently said, "Do you mean that the planes of the Sanitation Workers have signal sources installed, the kind that we snatched back from the control tower, right?"

Xinghe nodded, "That’s right."

Ram took a breath, then he turned to Aleborg and said, "Confirmed, the enemy has achieved enemy/friend recognition with the moving Serpent People; hence their planes can take off without being attacked by the Serpent People."

Aleborg’s face was grave, for this news was definitely bad news. Not to mention the immediate troubles, the key point was that this news meant the Sanitation Workers now completely held air superiority.

After only a brief consideration, Aleborg said sternly, "Order our air defense forces to shoot down the enemy’s jamming plane immediately! I have no doubt that the main purpose of the Sanitation Workers sending out the electronic jamming plane, which is currently of little help in combat, is to cover their own planes. That is to say, the Sanitation Workers’ enemy/friend identification is achieved through the electronic jamming plane! Now, shooting down the enemy’s electronic jammer is the best way to solve the problem!"

Shooting down the electronic jammer would restore communication and also put the enemy’s planes in danger of being attacked by the Serpent People, forcing the enemy to land their attack planes immediately.

Ram subconsciously agreed with Aleborg’s idea, but at the moment he was about to agree, a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

In terms of combat, Ram and Aleborg had completely different ideas, methods, and even patterns of thought.

"No, don’t shoot down the enemy’s jamming plane!"

Ram hurriedly finished speaking, then he became excited, whispering, "General, don’t forget we also have helicopters, which we couldn’t use before, but it’s not because we didn’t have them!"

Does the Solar System Company have planes? Of course, it does. There are very few fighter jets and bombers, you could say almost none, but there are many transport planes.

Helicopters, whether they are armed helicopters, transport helicopters, or ones like the Mi-24 that have both combat and transport capabilities, the Solar System had plenty of them.

The Serpent People’s invasion was akin to a downgrading strike, but they did not completely destroy Earth’s flight capabilities; instead, they sealed off many of Earthlings’ combat abilities.

Many aircraft were not destroyed; rather, under the condition of fearing their use, they could only be abandoned or mothballed.

Now, the enemy had deployed electronic warfare aircraft, which disrupted the communications of the Solar System Company and also shielded their own attack aircraft, allowing them to undertake long-distance flights without being attacked by the Serpent People. This meant that the helicopters of the Solar System Company, within the range of the enemy’s interference, would similarly not be attacked by the Serpent People.

As long as they were not under attack from the Serpent People, the Solar System Company could deploy even more helicopters than the Sanitation Worker, especially within the Malakal Region.

Because the Sanitation Worker had been a secret organization before the Serpent People’s official invasion, they might have received many aircraft afterwards, but before that, the Solar System Company had relied on helicopters as a primary mode of transportation and combat weapon.

Let’s not forget that before the Serpent People’s invasion, the Solar System Company’s core business was that of a PMC company, living off warfare.

Ashraf immediately understood Ram’s point. He leaned slightly back, making an annoyed expression as if he had just realized his oversight, and then he pointed at Ram and said, "You’re right! But it will take time to get our helicopters ready!"

Ram pressed, "Not too long, at least faster than our ground troops can get there!"

At this point, discussion was unnecessary, and Ram loudly ordered, "Have the aviation units ready the helicopters immediately, with utmost speed!"

Ashraf sternly said, "Don’t just think about the attack, be prepared to defend. The enemy’s jammer will eventually leave or be shot down by us, and then what? Using planes on a large scale may attract an attack from the Serpent People, so we must be ready with protection."

Ram immediately asked, "When can Engineer Wang arrive?"

Speak of the devil and he shall appear; hardly had Ram finished speaking when Wang Buliuxing arrived with his messenger in tow.

Without wasting a second, Ram said, "Engineer Wang, how’s the research on that thing going, can we use it now?"

Wang Buliuxing didn’t beat around the bush either, realizing the urgency of the situation, he quickly replied, "I understand the ’what’ but not the ’why’; I can’t grasp the principle, but it can be used!"

"How soon can it be used?"

"As long as there’s enough power, two hours."

"That’s too long, can you do it in one hour?"

Wang Buliuxing fell into thought, and even though Ram was pressing, he did not rush Wang Buliuxing, as he was accustomed to respecting scientific authority in a field that was completely unfamiliar to him.

After about a minute of contemplation, Wang Buliuxing lifted his head and said, "The only thing we need to resolve now is the power supply. If it’s extremely urgent, I can start that thing in half an hour, on the condition that the entire base’s power supply is interrupted. I’m familiar with the power system here, and I’m confident I can do it safely."

Ram did not hesitate for a moment and simply said in a deep voice, "Get to it right away!"
