People's Federation will live forever

Thousands of orcs and the flesh lairs that hatched them had no time to escape as lava poured into the subterranean cavity.Revenge and orc glory can be put aside for now. Before being swallowed by the hot magma, General Sikou let out a desperate and impotent roar.

"No...not yet...achieved!"

But human beings don't actually know that there is such a group of orcs that escaped punishment but not the power of the universe. Now human beings themselves are facing a big enemy, and the warning from the Eternal City is only earlier than the tsunami along the coast. Minutes.In the blue-eyed capital, a city made of steel and technology, harsh alarms are sounding, and the smart flood embankments on the edge of the city are automatically raised layer by layer. The solid steel plate and the thick metal support frame make this flood embankment It is astonishingly 1 meters high, but even so the city trembles and fears under the beating of the waves.

Large-scale geological movements occurred throughout Thira, volcanic eruptions and major earthquakes occurred in various places, and the equatorial vacuum tube magnetic levitation of the People's Union was cut off, but fortunately we evacuated most of the personnel early.

"Warning, a first-degree accident has occurred, and all personnel must follow the instructions to evacuate immediately. Repeat, warning..."

In the sky of the capital, those police drones with red and blue lights hovering around the loudspeaker, this three-dimensional city has lost its former glory, and the people here have either left a few months ago, or are now Emergency evacuation on a floating car - the People's Federation seems to have abandoned this place, from residents, soldiers to administrative personnel, all disappeared, and its industrial system seems to be suspended, leaving only a tall building made of metal like ruins. towering.

"Sir, the last group of left-behind personnel have already traveled to the wormhole base by flying car, and the final plan has entered the implementation stage, please get on the car too!"

Siegfried stepped on the flying car with one foot, and looked back at this majestic city for the last time. He also witnessed this kind of city built from scratch. what thought.

"The battle in space hasn't even begun yet, and we're rushing into it as if it's lost."

"There's nothing you can do about it, sir. Once we wait for the outcome of the battle to take action, it may be too late."

The so-called final solution is to activate the strategic nuclear bombs buried under all the man-made buildings in Sira after everyone has evacuated to the earth.This plan is called the Red Light Project, and its goal is to absolutely wipe out all possible remaining data and prevent the enemy from finding out that we actually have another world.

"It's nothing, it's just a little complaint from an old man like me."

Siegfried and his deputy got into the car, and the engine of the floating car spewed flames and flew into the sky. The streamlined body opened its wings and flew at supersonic speed.

"We will regroup and continue to fight on Earth, but what I am most worried about is whether people can gather their fighting spirit so quickly after failing once?"

Therefore, Siegfried is not very in favor of such a retreat, just like he doesn't think the People's League will lose at all, he just thinks it is a waste of time.

"If you rely solely on the People's Federation's fleet, then naturally you have to think about the worst possible outcome."

嗏

"The People's Federation has not relied on the strength of human beings since its founding."

In space, countless eyes are looking at the place between Sira and the moon. No one cares about the ground disasters caused by gravitational waves. Various types of aircraft are deployed on the orbit of Sira, fighting The ships are taking off, and the various orbital platforms around the Eternal City have started their engines to change direction and fly towards the direction where the enemy appears.Although the various communications in the vacuum were silent, the atmosphere of the personnel became anxious.

"Optical sensing has confirmed the position of the enemy army. It is [-] kilometers away from Sira. I can't believe that they can jump directly to the side of our planet!"

This is not surprising, after all, the reason why the Allied Defense Forces prohibit jumping around planets is not only because of the risk of gravitational interference, but more importantly, they regard all planets as their own property, but now For the People's Federation, they might wish that the harm would become a little bigger.

"The number of enemies has been confirmed, a total of... 80 ships..."

When the observer read out this number, he himself was at a loss. This number has exceeded the upper limit of their hearts.The People's Federation's habitual assessment of the combat effectiveness of the Allied Defense Forces is that one or two times the force can be defeated, but it must be prepared for nearly half of the casualties.

Our enemies are unresponsive and have poor electronic warfare. Their combat power depends on personnel, so the upper and lower limits are very high, unlike the People's Federation, which is very balanced and easy to consider because of the auxiliary combat power of automation and AI.But—their ships are huge and have fierce firepower. It is very difficult to sink them, and they surpass the Renlian in some basic technologies, which invisibly makes up for the advantages of the Renlian.

So—"Fleet, prepare for battle."

Lieutenant General Geralt took a deep breath, and his orders were issued layer by layer. The sky above the moon lit up the tail flames of the Sira Guard fleet. Without hesitation, 34 Dusk-class ships rushed into the deep space following the Supreme Authority.As the last guarding force of Renlian Homeland, after many years, someone asked him what was going on in his heart at that time, including whether he had thought of retreating in his heart at that time, or had a moment of cowardice?

The Famous League veteran did not deny it, but when he recalled his behavior today, his answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Actually, I am looking forward to... a miracle."

-

That's right, as planned, this is the enemy's home planet, the enemy's base camp.What a blue planet, it looks like the earth has not been polluted. The first time the soldiers of the local Defense Forces appeared here, everyone focused on this planet, even if it was just the picture on the screen. But they still stretched their necks, a little lost.

What a perfect planet, it really deserves to make the entire United Earth Government crazy, but now there is another obstacle between them and this planet-the enemy is dispatching troops, and they will not give up this place easily planet.

Lieutenant Admiral Emish Raeder sat high on his captain's seat with his legs crossed, and the fleet's investigation of the surrounding environment was displayed in detail on the holographic sand table in front of him. His adjutant was a colonel. At this time Pointing to the satellite on the graph, he said.

"Commander, we found that there is still an enemy mobile fleet in this position. Their strength is weak compared to ours. My suggestion is to annihilate this fleet as soon as possible, so as to avoid the enemy's main fleet returning to help them. Convergence, we would lose a vital force advantage."

With the strength of the Allied Defense Forces this time, it seems that it is not difficult to annihilate this fleet.What the colonel said made sense. After all, it would be difficult to complete the complete annihilation without taking advantage of the weakness of the enemy to defeat them one by one, and he would suffer more losses.Over the years, although the Allied Defense Forces have seldom fought battles like they are now, they have never had less fights with various interstellar pirates. They all have one thing in common, that space is so big, as long as there is a ship that goes to an unknown corner to drill you It's hard to catch it.Especially after this fight, they finally confirmed that the enemy does have FTL super-light speed means and it seems to be different from the impact point engine, which has many potential threats.

Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Erich waved his hand on the holographic image, and then issued an order-"Don't worry about the spaceship behind you, the whole army is heading towards the enemy's home planet at full speed!"

Ah, general, this is—"Put away your academic thinking, Colonel, have you forgotten the key to this war and what our orders are?"

Admiral Matthew Bunker's order to them was to "purge all resistance, take control of this planet, and make sure it becomes the property of the United Earth Government."

Why should the enemy fight us?Why are we fighting because they want to defend the planet?To take down this planet.This planet is like Moscow. Instead of quickly gathering heavy troops to take down the core point of this war, instead of dispersing the troops to fight with the enemy's mobile forces, this is the real stupidity!

"Have you read the history of wars 200 years ago? Do you still remember how the current United Earth Government defeated the Sovereign Colonial Alliance?"

The colonel was stunned for a moment: "I remember we drove straight in and took down the earth."

"That's right! The defense on the enemy's orbit is a fixed dead object. As the attacker, we can take the advantage of the initiative as long as we are willing to pay a certain price. As long as we take down that planet, their remaining power will be Not to worry, there are still their people and their government on that planet. As long as we threaten them with orbital bombing, they will surrender. Unchanging laws, you have to hit them where they hurt."

General Erich stood up, he rotated the holographic sand table and zoomed in on the orbital building on that planet——"Satellite, satellite, except for the satellite, there is only one larger space station. One kilometer in diameter? There are many such space stations on the earth Yes, such orbital defenses are useless! Now do you understand what war is, boy."

"Yes, General, a very vivid lesson." The colonel said happily, but he still had one question. "What if the enemy is unwilling to surrender? Although we can still defeat them, there will definitely be many enemies fleeing to other galaxies to hide and form new threats. At that time, there will be continuous security wars in the galaxies..."

At this time, Lieutenant General Erich laughed and said, "Isn't that better?"

The Allied Defense Forces have not fought a war for nearly 200 years. Although the United Earth Government relies on this fleet, they are not completely assured of them at the same time.After all, this is the army that came from a regime rebellion. In the past 200 years, military progress has been pitiful, from funding personnel to equipment updates. It is not because they are afraid that their military will grow bigger and eat back at themselves.

But now?Now they have an enemy, and it's a powerful enemy. From General Matthew to ordinary officers, they are almost laughing out loud.The enemy is strong?That's great, there is an excuse to ask for more resources. To be honest, the military is actually very reluctant to win this war. After all, they are not willing to end this good life. If there is a chance, let this People's Federation last for a while , they would be more than happy.

"Do you have any questions now, Colonel?"

"Without the general, I already understood, oh no, I realized it."

All of a sudden, the bridge was full of cheerfulness, and Lieutenant General Erich waved his hand: "Killing that ugly space city will definitely damage the morale of the enemy. Focus your firepower and let them understand the gap between us." It is insurmountable!"

PS: Today is not a repetition of yesterday's content, on the contrary, it is basically rewritten and filled in a hole by the way.Bugle will pay attention to the safety of documents in the future. I owe you too much and hope to make up for it.

Chapter [54] Why is it eternal?

I never thought that I would see such a scene. The flames of war burned to the homeland of the People's Federation, and the enemy appeared in the sky above our heads.Now we can see what they look like. Through the high-precision optical facilities on the space station of the Eternal City, we can clearly see the appearance of the enemy spacecraft.It is so huge that their smallest ship is equal to our capital ship, and their largest ship is beyond our imagination, reaching an astonishing 600 meters, which is equivalent to the radius of the Eternal City-and huge The Eternal City has always been the pride of the People's Federation in the past.

In the past, for the civilians of Sira, war was news on holograms, words on the Internet, and not many people really felt its existence, but now those who were proficient in analysis and debate in the past have now become silent Well, those big talkers who are full of contempt for the current situation have become dumb-war is not what they imagined, and war in space is not as simple and straightforward as war on the ground.Courage in such an environment can only serve as a backdrop. For the first time, the People's Federation felt a sense of powerlessness. Seeing the shadows of those [-] giant ships seem to be heading towards our planet irresistibly, it seemed that there was nothing that could be saved.

"Why should the main fleet be transferred away? It's still too late for them to come back!"

"Don't be silly, we have no chance of winning if the enemy's two fleets converge. Yinbai and the orbital defense network should still be able to hold on. Everyone guards their posts. The enemy's attack is coming!"

We have heard about the silver-white ring track network for a long time in the past, but we have never really seen its power once.It is said that the defense against extraterrestrial attacks was considered at the beginning of the design of this system. The AI ​​responsible for controlling this system is named after this defense facility. Now we are very familiar with "her", but it is really difficult for us Linking that beautiful and gentle image with the war facility, then today is a lucky day, we can finally have the honor to see her true face.

"The shield defense array is ready."

One after another, small "blocks" with their own propulsion systems were released from the lower buildings of the Eternal City, which probably consisted of some kind of satellite.These small things seem to have their own programming, and they start to assemble themselves during the flight. When they fly into deep space, they form a device with a hexagonal grid block. There are more and more, but when they are connected, they seem to form a large net that blocks the Eternal City.

"The jamming array is being deployed."

The small boats that took off from the port of the Eternal City flew towards the deep space, and the numerous solar power stations deployed above Thira adjusted the position of their fan blades to refract the sunlight to the enemies ahead.The distance is [-] kilometers, but the gap is rapidly narrowing. The strong sunlight is directly hitting the other side, and the more sensitive their optical sensors are, the greater the impact they will receive.

"The attack array is unfolding, the Hammer of Dawn launcher is being corrected, and attack guidance is needed."

In the location of the General Administration of People's Federation of People's Federation, none of the military bosses has evacuated. In the middle of their circular table, the silver-white belt with the image of a female soldier is reporting the situation one by one. The current silver is not as lively as before. Serious and well-organized seem to be the same as interferon, this is the real core of AI, and Yinbai is not here to accept anyone's command.

She is the defense system itself, and this defense operation is entirely under her command. The senior officers here are just spectators. They don't know much about the system in their hands. They don't know what the Eternal City means. .

"The Eternal City is about to start its first launch."

Accompanied by the words of the silver and white ring belt, the generals present only felt a little vibration in the remaining space city, without the restraint of artificial gravity, they only felt a new impetus under them-"When did the Eternal City have its own power? Admiral Milan looked at the surrounding simulation screens. In the picture, many structures around this huge space city were deforming. The metal structures the size of skyscrapers shrank into the disc-shaped built-in space like building blocks. The very familiar living areas are all covered by black armor, as if it had always looked like this. As a military boss, Admiral Milan didn’t even know when these facilities were built. I haven't seen these things in the file.

And the silver-white ring said like a reading: "Traces of enemy fire have been detected, please get ready, the battle has begun."

At this time, the military chiefs of the People's Federation saw more and more shining light spots appearing from a distant place. The speed of these things is very fast, and the alarm about the enemy's attack has just come out now——"Why? What, the enemy started firing after a distance of [-] kilometers?"

The silver-white ring replied: "Because we haven't started the engine of the Eternal City, we are like a fixed target for the opponent, and we can shoot accurately at a super long distance."

The enemy has indeed opened fire. For an orbital fixed facility like the Eternal City, it only needs to perform basic calculations to fully fire. This difficulty will not be more difficult than launching a lunar exploration rocket, and this is only the basis for interstellar civilization. compulsory course.The generals sitting in the command room saw with their own eyes that those dazzling plasma shells became brighter and brighter like starlight. The sensors had captured their infrared radiation, and the Eternal City was still undergoing a series of transformations.

"The enemy's shells are plasma at one-thousandth of the speed of light. Once they hit us, they will suffer damage equivalent to hundreds of tons of equivalent. The hull of the Eternal City is not enough to resist such an attack." The silver-white ring said foolishly, "Please rest assured that the process of being evaporated will be very fast, and you will not feel pain."

"Yes, you are quite right, but why are you telling us this?"

Admiral Hoffman said angrily, and Yin Baihuan chuckled: "I think everyone is too nervous, you want to liven up the atmosphere."

"Although I know in my heart that you are the manager of our ultimate defense, and I also believe that the leader must have his reasons for choosing you, but I still can't adapt to an unscrupulous AI."

General Longling knocked on the table with his hands, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Can you tell me directly, what can you do to save us from this fate of being evaporated?"

In other words, "What secrets does the Eternal City hold that even the highest-ranking members of the military don't know?"

The AI ​​didn't speak any more, and the light spots outside the space station had already arrived.When the high-speed plasma trajectory from the lasing is close to the orbit of the planet, it encounters the thin air and releases sporadic charged particles. On the big web woven by the Eternal City, or a layer of membrane gathered on that web.

The scene of the plasma bursting is really indescribable. Although the "film" has a thin character, it still persisted for a moment before disappearing under the impact of the ion cannonball with a speed of thousands of kilometers per second.But I think it has played its role, because the bursting plasma shell seems to be fully excited to form a small sun in the vacuum!At the same time, hundreds of suns bloomed, and these high-temperature plasma bodies continued to slide forward with inertia, but they encountered another layer of barriers. This layer of transparent barriers has curves and arcs, and the remaining energy of the plasma shells The angles arranged by these barriers shifted by a certain distance, and when they flew out, they were already far away from the Eternal City.

"This is the mass effect field device for the energy dome in the central ecological area of ​​the Eternal City in the original plan. Through tens of thousands of launching devices, we can edit the barrier on a certain surface, so that this one-way force field can reach The mechanically balanced angle, so it can form an effect similar to 'active defense' and 'pouring armor', and it has a very good effect on kinetic energy weapons after early tests." The silver-white ring belt explained, and then added, "Although it It was originally designed to replace glass, because we needed a new way to stop air outflow from urban eco-regions, and there was no doubt that we would not be able to make structurally indestructible glass covering tens of thousands of square kilometers."

The faces of the generals were a bit ugly, especially the general Milan: "At present, the Legion Dusk has only installed shields in some key areas, and you told me that such a powerful technology is only for civilian use?"

"You can't say that, Admiral of the Fleet, it is impossible for the fleet to bring these things to the battlefield. You have seen that this thing has tens of thousands of energy launchers, and even the largest military fortress can't supply it. I want to know how their energy is. Where did it come from." Admiral Carnifek stopped the anger of his colleagues, and he made a calm analysis, "And what is the charging speed of these things? How reliable are they? If our lives are now maintained by them Then I need to know this information."

The answer is quite unexpected. The energy consumed by such a launch system is huge, but like the darkness under the lights, this huge energy actually comes from the moon that was let go by the enemy. The helium trifusion substation there converts electricity into microwaves Way passed over, with such support these transmitters stand strong in the line.The principle of these force field generators is the same as that on the battleship, and they will not be easily damaged. In front of everyone, this is a super-large fireworks show. Countless ion shells hit the first barrier every minute and every second The kinetic energy of the front is reduced, and the rest is deflected and falls to the big Sira behind.

The sky of Thira is burning. It is impossible for these ultra-high-temperature, high-speed ions to land. The atmosphere with a thickness of 1000 kilometers is so inconvenient. The ion shells react violently with the air, so they bombard the sky above the clouds of Thira. Triggered countless explosions.The sound of thunder shook the sky, such dense "nuclear explosions" turned the sky red, and the heat gathered a strong wind to blow to the entire planet. A climate anomaly covering the planet may be unavoidable.

It is impossible for us to be beaten all the time. The enemy has [-] ships and hundreds of heavy artillery pieces. Their shells are endless, and even the protective net will sometimes be unable to support them, so—"The experimental inertial damper is ready, please sit down Well... oh, sorry, I should have warned you sooner."

Accompanied by the joking words of the silver and white rings, several generals who were sitting in a semi-levitation posture fell hard on their chairs. The sudden gravity made people caught off guard and looked embarrassed. He stopped his hat and was splashed all over by the overturned water glass.

"Gravity, is it gravity, not centrifugal force?"

Admiral Longling tried to stand up from the seat, and the landing seemed smooth and crisp, but there was another difference, that was, he could see the Eternal City moving at an extremely fast speed from the simulation screen, but he did not Feel the effects of inertia.

"Starting from the capture of the enemy's impact point engine, we found that the enemy's technology has great flaws, including excessive energy consumption and space occupation. People's Federation has already gained some experience in mastering gravity since the zero element. Let us Treat the entire Eternal City as an independent space, and use the zero unit to reduce the weight of the material in the ship—yes, I am talking about all the distinguished generals, and your weight is already only 1 by the normal physical standard. %, because the use of the No. 10 element engine interferes with the time-space continuity with the normal world, so we can still use a primary imitation impact point with a volume of no more than [-] tons and an area of ​​no more than [-] square meters before we have fully cracked the enemy's technology. engine to fulfill the original function of the enemy."

That is to say, the Eternal City, a disc with a diameter of one kilometer, flew up, completely ignoring physics but flying up reasonably, because it looks big but has a small mass, and the inertial damage to the structure is damped The engines made up for it and reached a balance-and this space city also installed engines ten times the number of battleships, so that the take-off speed rushed out of Sira's far-earth orbit in an instant!

All this seemed very shocking in the eyes of the enemy. Lieutenant General Erich watched it several times before finally confirming that what he saw was not a vision caused by an optical sensor failure, but a real reality.

"General, our artillery fire was blocked by something and failed to destroy the target."

From the perspective of the Allied Defense Forces, they couldn't accurately detect the existence of the shield at a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, but the radar did show that multiple targets were hindering the detection. "Maybe it's the enemy's new technology..."

"I don't care what kind of technology it is, as long as we get close to the past, we will know!"

Lieutenant General Erich felt uneasy for a while, but he couldn't tell where this uneasiness came from.This war has just begun, but strange things appear one after another, and soon their radar and optical observations discovered a scene that puzzled them——

"General, if my eyes don't suffer from any eye disease, I seem to see that space station fly up?"

The adjutant blinked, and then said suspiciously: "Could it be that we have been mistaken all along, that is actually a giant spaceship parked?"

The Eternal City is sailing in the star space. Force field generators rise one after another in this huge disc-shaped building. A nearly invisible barrier wraps this huge facility. Not only that, from the edge of this space building One after another turrets were also raised—the ring-shaped turrets were like giant flashlights, moving and aiming at the annoying ion cannon launchers.

Aren't these the Hammer of Dawn, and they are more than one size larger than those on the Dusk class. After all, such a large space city can use the energy of the entire civilization in terms of energy, whether it is the moon or the ground of Sira, or those solar energy in space The power station is being used by the Eternal City at the moment, so whether it is a shield or a turret, the number of Hammers of Dawn on the Eternal City may not be less than the entire army of the United Fleet.

"When I started to build the Eternal City, some people thought I was out of vanity and wanted to build a throne above the sky. When I moved the power organization, science department and military center of the People's Federation to this city, someone Said I wanted to secure my dominion forever."

The space city took off, and more than a dozen Twilight-class ships took off from the star port below this giant building. These ships that were originally built in the dock did not even have a pilot to move on their own. The carrier-based aircraft that take off from the aircraft carrier are a bit bigger.

"But my original intention has never changed. The Eternal City is the refuge of mankind, the last stronghold, and the fire that carries the Ark. The purpose of my making it is to do this, to bear the necessary burden when necessary. responsibility."

Li Zhi's voice stopped here, while the silver-white ring's voice continued.

"Ontology, all the orbital defense facilities have been calibrated, I have connected the data with you, and the 201 Hammer of Dawn satellite systems on the Sira orbit have entered the launch state."

After a moment's delay, a bright light shone on Sira.

PS: Recently, I have been thinking about voice typing and other things, and I want to explore the future codeword method. It is indeed effective, but it somewhat delays the continuity of the plot. I apologize to everyone.

Chapter [55] Another Solution

"Although some of them only exist on paper, the People's Federation already has four major fleets. We all know that the Sira Guard Fleet 'War Pendulum' has been basically completed. Admiral, but shouldn’t we have two fleets in this war, how could we not have enough troops?”

---

The time was a week ago, next to that particular building on the equator in Thira.

The train to the wormhole was about to start, Marcus put a large backpack on the back of 13-year-old JD, patted the child on the shoulder - "Listen, boy, what you are carrying is Your father and all my belongings, you have to protect it with your life when we arrive on Earth, understand!"

JD nodded, pretending to be obedient, but the moment he turned around, the kid showed disgust on his face: "Isn't it just a few seeds of agricultural products, the bastard dad really wants to be a farmer for the rest of his life."

JD muttered and left. Dom, who was not far away, just came over and saw all this. The man shook his head helplessly, walked over and patted the old brother on the shoulder: "Hey, your son hates you for not being motivated."

Marcus snorted: "Moving forward? Up to the point that he is still being detained for observation just like Budker?"

Not long ago, they finally got in touch with the two old buddies. Cole looked fine, but Bud obviously had major surgery and was seriously injured.The information they knew from the two old buddies was the one compiled by the People's Federation - that is, the biochemical virus caused a series of accidents, and the result was a precursor to the enemy's premeditated invasion. The two of them witnessed the Battle of the Storm The whole process was affected, and now they are still in quarantine to ensure safety, and they don't know where they are.

"Who would have thought that the war just started, the army has already issued a call-up order, and they are calling us old guys again. What are your plans?"
