People's Federation will live forever

"Hello residents of Rutan Space City, may I interrupt you for a few minutes? I want to talk to you about one thing, about the salvation of human destiny, the United Human Powers Council and its creator, our great leader."

PS: I wrote the main text, and I also wrote the extra episode, but the extra episode will not be released because the current connection point with the main text has not yet been reached.After all, the statistical time ends on the 20th. Before the 20th, you may see a few super extra chapters, hehehe.

Chapter [63] The Fall of Sira

"boom!"

The light cannon hit the torso of the Tongtian Tower, and the impact of one-thousandth of the speed of light was something that the engineers of the People's Federation had not considered before building the orbital elevator, and there was no way to consider it.The kinetic energy of the cannonball just passed by and pierced this "monument" symbolizing the people's union walking in the sky from the center. The remaining kinetic energy diffused to the main body of the tower, the trunk bent, the nano-shell ruptured, and the cables snapped like a group of snakes. Dancing wildly in the air, carrying debris with a mass of thousands of tons fell into the atmosphere and burned blazingly.

The vacuum tube attached to the outer layer of the elevator was destroyed, and the vertical train that used to transport people lost its attachment and fell from a height of thousands of miles.The road to the sky that the People's Federation spent ten years building is disintegrating. The ultra-high temperature plasma passing through the middle of the tower reacts with the air and produces a strong explosion in the atmosphere. The violent hurricane hits the already crumbling On the tower, the worst is happening.

On the land of Thira, the situation of the offshore platform built by the People's Federation to carry this orbital elevator is also very bad.Thanks to its good design, it has withstood previous earthquakes and tsunamis, but it does not mean that this facility covering an area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers is safe and sound.The sea water flooded the platform, ruining the storage and logistics, and how many wrecks of the destroyed drones fell into the puddles.

The orbital elevator is no longer operational, and the three fusion power plants that power it have been shut down.The fusion power station is very safe. Under the double blow of the earthquake and tsunami, the fusion reactor that was operating at the core just went out. Unfortunately, no one will come to ignite it again.The platform fell into dead silence. Due to the evacuation of personnel, even the alarm did not sound. It was as quiet as a cemetery.

A civilized cemetery - it took Li Wei and the people of Xila ten years to build it, but it only took less than half a day to destroy it.It used to be a giant of civilization, known as the backbone of Sira, but now standing in front of it, you can only see that the towering stairs are falling, and the torso that is tens of thousands of kilometers is being broken into countless pieces. Some were burnt into skeletons by the atmosphere, and some were scattered into fragments all over the sky. When the mass of millions of tons fell, it was like a blow to the surface of the planet, and the waves of the blast seemed to separate the sea!

The destruction of the People's Union Orbital Elevator can be seen clearly even from outer space. This building is too fragile. For our enemies, they themselves have no original intention to destroy all of this-"Okay, at least we destroyed it. The enemy's facilities for sending troops from the ground to space are also facilities that we cannot use."

Lieutenant General Erich comforted himself in this way, but it was quite insincere.Naturally, the United Earth Government does not need an orbital elevator. They have the technology to pull land into space, so how can they lack the ability to transport heaven and earth?But we can’t look at the problem that way, because before witnessing the orbital elevator of the People’s Union, United Earth always thought that this kind of building was impossible to realize in engineering.

How many of these combine materials and other technologies that the earth does not have?Erich still had a mind to harvest the spoils, so he quickly ordered:

"Our army has begun to gain control of the orbit of the enemy's main star! All industrial and civilian facilities on the planet will be taken over by the Allied Defense Forces, and any unauthorized and unnecessary destruction is prohibited...Let the landing troops prepare!"

The lieutenant general's order did not meet much opposition. After all, the soldiers of the Ground Defense Army present also regarded Sira as their own, and these would be equivalent to military exploits in the future. Naturally, they will all obey.And Erich's mind is a little more complicated——

[If this People's Federation is really an extraterrestrial civilization, the technology they have that we don't have will be the key to determining the outcome of the war. Collecting this information may be more important than winning the battle. 】

"Commander, the enemy's strongholds are still holding the pole, and they will threaten our airdrop."

What the adjutant said is true, the Ares fleet has [-] warships riding against Sira, but the Eternal City of the People's League is still frequently attacking the fleet with the help of the curvature of the planet to gather the remaining defense facilities, and the battleships are sent to deal with the People's League. Fortress, but the two sides seem to be circling each other in the orbit of the planet, which means that each occupies a hemisphere and confronts each other.

"They have nowhere to hide. The fleet moves along the orbit of the planet as a whole to prevent its maneuvering, destroy their defenses and isolate the space fortress."

The People's Federation has lost the protection of this barrier, and at extremely close range, the Ground Defense Alliance has an absolute advantage in firepower.Seventy battleships turned their bows and formed multi-stage battleships to head to various positions on the orbit of Thira. The coverage area continued to compress the action space of the Eternal City. Soon the space fortress would lose the protection of the planet's curved surface and be directly exposed to the defense of the Earth. Under the guns of the army!

"Even if we use all the zero elements as a mass effect barrier, it is impossible to block the bombardment of nearly a thousand ion cannons at this extremely close range."

At this time, the situation of the Eternal City is not very good. Facing the enemy's absolute superiority, even if the space city abandons all its non-combat modules, the surface looks completely devastated at this time, and the ablation left by the ion cannon is still exposed. On Mars, the maintenance drones have been dispatched for a few batches. These robots with their own 3D printers try to repair the damaged equipment as much as possible, but the progress is always unable to keep up with the intensity of the enemy's destruction.

When the ion cannon hits the mass effect barrier, the short-lived "condensation" effect occurs one after another. Most of the ion cannons are deflected to other places by the force field, but there are more and more force field devices that cannot support the failure. People's Federation stands at a dangerous intersection.

On the top floor of the space city, Li Zhi directly witnessed a shining ion cannon beam hitting the corner of the Eternal City through the prosthetic body. After losing the shield, the plasma directly fell on the hull of the ship. It melted hundreds of square meters of everything, causing the three Hammers of Dawn to cease fire.Those unmanned warships that originally surrounded the Eternal City are disintegrating and burning—under the control of Li Zhi himself, these ships are under heavy siege to block the most critical Kshatriya-level plasma beam cannons for the Eternal City. threat.This kind of weapon that accelerates the plasma to [-]% of the speed of light dare not let it touch the Eternal City. As long as it can't hide, the dusk-level will take the initiative to go to the top. Because the kinetic energy is too strong, it is like an explosion next to it. Big Ivan.There are only two twilight-class guards of the Eternal City left, and the situation is getting worse.

"The enemy stopped the orbital bombing of Sira, as planned, the status has changed, they have regarded Sira as their wealth, and now they don't want to destroy it more than we do."

Li Ting's prosthetic body lay back and sat on a chair, but the floor under the chair opened, leading him to sink in.

At this time, Olivia's communication also came, and the general was a little unhappy.

"Is this your plan? By giving our important things to the enemy, let the enemy protect us?"

"I can't help it, I'm going to be unable to fight head-on."

The sinking was still going on, and when Li Wei's prosthetic body moved again, it had already arrived at the bottom room of the Eternal City.There is nothing else here, only black "coffins" stay here quietly one after another.

Ah, to take that back, there is Commander Olivia here.She was sitting on a coffin lying flat on the ground at this time, holding a long straight-edged knife in both hands, a little shorter than the original one, because that one was now in the hands of Lieutenant General Janot.

Li Wei waved his hand to say hello to Olivia. He smiled slightly, but he couldn't open his mouth because the prosthetic body didn't make a mouth: "How about it, are you interested in skydiving with me? The kind that jumps high and opens low?"

Olivia didn't answer, just stood up and held the coffin, and entered the password. The moment the box clicked open, Olivia's crystal eyes reflected another Olivia's face—another Olivia Ya lay in this cold box, all the gaps were filled with foamy substance, and "she" in the box closed her eyes, as if she was dreaming an eternal dream.

"Why do you have so many and I only have one?"

There are dozens of coffins densely packed in the room, needless to say what is inside, because it doesn't matter.Li Mo pulled a coffin and opened the lid to let himself stand in. At the last second before closing, Olivia asked.

"Lee, can I ask a question?"

"Well, you said."

"Where did you hide my brain?"

"Are you worried that Sira will be attacked and the place where it is kept is not safe?" Li Wei chuckled, "Then you can rest assured."

"My body, your brain, does not exist within the reach of human beings."

The moment the box was closed, the world was silent.Olivia was the only one left in the empty room, and while she was thinking about Li Li's answer, she suddenly didn't realize that there were waves of warnings from the bottom warehouse.

"The structure of the bottom warehouse is damaged, and the escape procedure is starting! Countdown to 10.9..."

The Eternal City was severely damaged, and even the Allied Defense Forces could feel the decline in the fort's combat effectiveness—the magical shield was becoming more and more powerless, and the firepower of the Hammer of Dawn returning from the fortress was gradually weakening.It is necessary to explain that since the Eternal City lacks time for transformation, the one-kilometer disc is not equipped with ion cannons imitating the enemy, so the firepower appears weak and weak after getting close.

The lasers on the space city to defend against meteorites pose no threat to warships, and the Eternal City does not stock nuclear missiles for safety.Maybe it is a powerful elephant, but surrounded by a group of lions, it also appears to be alone, powerless and slowly pushed to a dead end.

"Commander, the enemy still refuses to surrender."

Erich didn't feel the slightest surprise that his kindness was rejected again, after all, he didn't hold out hope either.This time he didn't intend to waste time at all—"Send carrier-based planes, since they refuse to surrender, let them die in battle with honor."

The airports on both sides of the battleship of the Union Defense Forces opened the launch port, and a large number of carrier-based aircraft rushed out of the battleship like launching rockets.People's Federation has seen these rocket-shaped fighter planes before. They have excellent acceleration and maneuverability, but they don't fly randomly.The carrier-based aircraft coming out of the mothership are like the fish shoals around the giant whales gathered into a bead-like array. After completing the entire fleet, these carrier-based aircraft surpassed the fleet and rushed into the last line of defense of the People's Federation.

"Free fire with the primary objective of taking out their defensive platforms."

The existence of small inertial dampers allows pilots flying at ultra-high speeds to easily control fighter jets that are tens of times faster than the speed of sound. The onboard computer makes up for the lack of response speed and fine-tunes the distance between the fleets by itself.The pilot's thumb touches the button on the joystick, and the underbelly magazine hatch opens—target locks, missile disengages, fires and launches.The inertial muzzle velocity provided by the aircraft and the rocket engine make these missiles enough to destroy the defense of the People's Federation with their kinetic energy alone, and for a while there are so many such missiles, it seems that there are more stars in the sky.

Suddenly, a laser beam hit the fighter plane, melting the cabin and burning the head of the pilot who just pressed the button and his helmet into coke!

This laser comes from the Eternal City and the remaining defense facilities. The dense and fast laser bursts burst out and then go out in an instant, but it can be seen that the aircraft fleets of the Ground Guard Alliance exploded in pieces, and the number of damage made the fleet control blood pressure. Soaring, and this number is still rising!

"Damn it, did the higher-ups want us to die?"

Of course, warships are much more expensive than carrier-based aircraft, and the Allied Defense Forces have no shortage of manpower, so these pilots can only lament their luck.

"Move, move quickly!"

"Don't be stupid, these are lasers, you can't dodge them by maneuvering, if you want to survive, shoot out all the missiles!"

After the missiles were fired, the machine guns followed, and countless metal fragments poured into the sky. Under such desperate tactics, one defense platform after another was annihilated in the explosion, and the density of the air defense could not keep up with the supersaturated density of the attack. These carrier-based planes have already arrived near the Eternal City-the approaching pilots can even see the big holes in the space city that were bombarded by the ship's artillery, not only that.

[They also saw that the bottom area of ​​the space city was disintegrating, and many black boxes mixed with debris fell to the ground.The pilots didn't care what those things were. What really mattered was that the damage to the Eternal City could be seen. This news was enough to cheer up the Allied Defense Forces. 】

The general situation is over, the People's Federation's "defense system has completely collapsed, the fleet, aim at the center of the enemy's fortress, and fire all the main guns at full strength!"

64 warships of the Allied Defense Forces (six more were sunk) and more than 800 main guns lit up white light almost at the same time. The dazzling light almost covered the sky, and even blocked the optical observation of the Allied Defense Forces ships. The screen froze for a second.

And a second later—

The Eternal City that was supposed to be there has disappeared. It seems that it never existed in that place. The only thing I can see is that the shells fired by our side fly straight towards No Man's Sky.

What about the enemy's fortress?

You were here just now, where did you go?

Was wiped out?No, what about the wreckage?

The members of the Ares fleet looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

The fight, in an instant, stopped?

---(at the same time)--

0.7 astronomical units away from Scylla, close to the silent space where the stars are located, a blue shift of Cherenkov radiation suddenly broke out, until the blue light disappeared, the Eternal City, which was about to be destroyed by the salvo just now, broke away from the mass effect in embarrassment Flying, barely reached this airspace.

"The Eternal City has lost 70.00% of its combat effectiveness and is no longer able to participate in the defense of Thira. The current primary goal is to ensure the survival of the space city."

After Li Di went offline, the silver-white ring belt took over the control of the Eternal City.In the phantom, she closed her eyes and meditated—"The circumsolar accelerator is working well, allowing the opening of the wormhole."

"The coordinates have been calculated, the MUV geospatial information has been matched, and we are ready to make a leap."

Yinbai Huandai opened her eyes, and she looked back at the distant Scylla, showing a look of reluctance.

"Sorry, as the defense system of Sira, I failed to protect Sira well."

The eight circumsolar accelerators distributed around the star have already started to operate. The high-speed particles have been running around the star for a long time in the point-to-point connection of the accelerator space station. Calculated to collide together, open a wormhole spanning 17 light-years - and the Eternal City passed through it quickly, the weakened impact point engine of the People's Union version annihilated into ripples in space after a short maintenance, without People know it's gone.

And in another galaxy 17 light-years away, accompanied by a space twist, a huge shadow suddenly appeared above this beautiful blue planet...

Chapter [64] Take off!

Two years have passed since the doomsday twilight battle, but the space orbit of the MUV Earth is still full of space junk that is difficult to clear.

The wreckage of the warships of the League of Nations Space Force can be seen faintly. Only a few of these space shuttles were evaporated by the Dusk-class Hammer of Dawn in that battle, and most of them were destroyed by the dense metal storm on the thunder clouds.The People's Federation did not show mercy in that battle. None of the 500 armored destroyers survived, and more than 2 Earth elites died in space. Even by the standards of the People's Federation, these people are excellent astronauts and elites on Earth. , But that’s how they died—the People’s Federation can’t leave them any luck, the old era will end, and the new era needs to be cleaned with their blood.

When the most elite power and the most advanced technology on the earth are unable to resist the People's Federation, all the will to resist based on reason on this planet also collapses.After that battle, the People's Federation's plan to control the earth has become unimpeded. Except for local resistance, 80% of the earth's civilization has been included by the People's Federation—wherever the Star Ring Silver Wing Banner goes, there will be new ones immediately. Order is established, and whether out of respect or fear, local power figures will immediately accept the invitation to go to Kamchatka to "discuss major issues", and peace will come.But before this battle happened, people on Earth thought that the People's Federation would be defeated by America, but now they think that the People's Federation is invincible.

We all know this... It may be nostalgic to talk about all this.The story of the earth has come to a dramatic end, the people of the earth accepted the arrival of the People's Federation and we lived up to their expectations, turning everything for the better.People's Federation at that time was also very confident, and never thought that one day the situation would reverse, and this planet would instead become a shelter for People's Federation.

Therefore, when the majestic figure of the Eternal City appeared in the orbit of the earth, the "Earth Defense Fleet" that had already been on standby here according to the plan-more than 60 Thundercloud-class ships came to greet it.When the fleet passed through the garbage patch of the wreckage of the space army, the Allied soldiers on the Leiyun class saw the logo of the space force on the wreckage, and they couldn't help blurting out:

"It turned out that the clown was myself."

A floating beacon made of solar sails floats in orbit. This is a tombstone without inscriptions, and the lights that will always shine testify to people's memory of the victims of that war.But now this has added a point of respect from the People's Federation soldiers to them, respecting their heroic fighting posture and reminding themselves of the fate of failure.

After all, in the eyes of these soldiers, how similar it is. The scars left by the flames of war cannot be concealed on the Eternal City that arrived on the earth. However, in the eyes of these soldiers who did not participate in the defense of Sira, this is a symbol of the failure of the People's Federation, so when they reported to the Eternal City, the commander of the fleet, a dignified major general, actually included in the report Asked a sentence:

"Sir, what should we do?"

The morale of the army is a bit low... We all know this. Not only these soldiers, but also the millions of Silas who have just been transferred to Earth are also full of doubts and dissatisfaction with their leadership.The current survey and I don’t know what’s going on, but just before the Eternal City passed through the wormhole and arrived, the attack of the Allied Defense Forces destroyed the collider on the equator. Therefore, the wormholes on the ground of the two planets are now It has been closed, and there is no doubt that in the eyes of the people of Thira, this means that they will never return to their hometown.

"How to do?"

Having just arrived in the command room on the Eternal City on Earth, General Longling, the chief of staff, inspected this old battlefield again as a witness, and could not help but compare it with what happened on the orbit of Sira .

"Major General, what you want to ask me is not what to do. What you want to ask me is actually - will the People's Federation be destroyed like these League of Nations space forces, right?"

Then the admiral ridiculed those who were downcast because of the loss of Sira, even if it was just through the communication, he could feel the admiral's anger: "We are not the space army, and our enemy is not the People's Federation, so you better put it away Your cowardice—before I find out that your troops are equally cowardly because of you!"

But just scolding is not enough, what is needed to reverse the pessimistic situation in one fell swoop is practical action.Judging from the ruined Eternal City, Longling's words are not very convincing. The 60 Leiyun-class ships appearing here appear to exist as the Earth's defense fleet, but in essence they are considered unsuitable to participate in the Sino-Japanese War. The ships used to defend the war, but possessed enough suppressive force on the earth to be dispatched to the earth.From this point of view, we can also understand why the morale is low-if the first-line elites fail, how can the second-line troops carry the banner?

So Admiral Longling didn't blame these people any more. After the communication ended, the four generals in the conference room looked at the corrected holographic map of the earth on the desktop. The picture is adjusted to the moon of the solar system.

"Those who associate this with all this will be disappointed, we are not here just to save our lives."

Only short-sighted people will limit their eyes to the "cemetery" in the orbit of the earth. In the opinion of Admiral Carnifek, the behavior of these people made him very unhappy. They set up monuments for the enemy, and their mentality changed subtly. Weakness, when did the People's Federation's army have the sad mentality of the weak?

So the general asked, "Who built that star tomb? How long has it been built?"

The fleet commander who greeted him froze for a moment, then said cautiously——

"Just two months ago, it was established by the logistics force that recovered the remains of the former League of Nations Space Force and cleaned up the wreckage...The matter was notified to the Space Administration of the Council and approved..."

"Permission? Do you have permission from the General Administration of Military Affairs?!"

Kanifick asked sharply, and the answer is undoubtedly no, and the answer is undoubtedly covered with a layer of humanism-this is the memory of the victims in the war, transcending the barriers of positions and rising to the height of human beings, yes The earth has a soothing effect... "Oh, fool!"

Compared with Kanifik, General Longling is too gentle, and being gentle is not a virtue in the face of big right and wrong: "Remember, the so-called Cosmic Army of the League of Nations is a group of thugs who stand on the opposite side of the People's Federation and hinder the progress of human civilization , and they got what they deserved, which is death! Everything the People’s Federation has done is in line with history, including crushing and killing the bugs that stand in the way of the general trend, and you, a group of trash, actually erected a monument for the bugs?”

"Battle of the Storm, thousands of fleet soldiers like you sacrificed their lives in the Xinghai to defend the dignity of the People's Federation. They are the backbone of the People's Federation and I don't see you admiring your own heroes-tell me, this is how you look at yourself duty?"

The Battle of Sira left indelible scars on the Eternal City, but this does not mean that this human-linked technological creation has been so ruined that it is embarrassing. On the contrary, the plasma propulsion array at the bottom of this space city The dazzling light is like an extra sun in the sky to the earth.It may be damaged but not broken. The current Eternal City is like a giant dragon coiled up to lick its wounds. Since it came to the earth's orbit, it has released tens of thousands of drones inside the space city, turning itself into A large hive was built to repair the obvious damage to the surface little by little.

And this also means that many things are not as these second-line troops think. The Eternal City is still functioning well. The nanomachines released from the engineering drones squirmed and crawled across the broken surface. Although it was slow, the scorched ablation And the deformed cracks became clean and new with the naked eye. The additive manufacturing machine built into the drone used the resources stored in the space city to make parts on the spot-broken pipelines were repaired, and the circuit board was repaired on the spot. A lot of powdery printing materials and cut defects floated out one after another. Within an hour, all the eye-catching scars from the outside were repaired, and many internal functions started to work again.

For example, a Hammer of Dawn that had been disconnected outside the ring suddenly became active again. This "big searchlight" rotated an angle, it locked on a target and concentrated its energy in the muzzle!

In the eyes of the Earth Defense Fleet, in front of this group of human coalition soldiers who have been reprimanded to hold their heads up, this low-power laser beam skimmed the earth's orbit and blasted that gleaming grave into the brightest star in the night sky. ——The attitude of the military commander is obvious, there is no room for corruption here.

The Supreme Military Council of the People's Federation chose to give this major general a chance to continue to lead the Earth Defense Fleet to serve the People's Federation and purge military discipline to restore fighting spirit. Going to Earth is an immediate plan. If you still want to return to Thira, go to the moon with the Eternal City."

Under the eyes of everyone, the disc-shaped Eternal City began to deform—the original disc-shaped structure was like a fungus canopy, and the folded spaceport, warehouses and residential areas were extended again.And these are not completely built-in facilities, along a main axis extending from the center of the space city, the pre-installed nano-building modules grow one by one like a balloon blowing trick with its incomparable extensibility.Although the interior is still empty, it is quite different from the destroyed appearance when it first arrived.

The inhabitants of the earth will definitely find this amazing sight, but the council will have a way to avoid it - after two years of construction on the earth by the People's Federation, especially the explosive transfer of resources in the last six months, the earth's orbit has also There are more and more large space stations. At this time, due to the arrival of the Eternal City, these space stations immediately change their course and move closer to the Eternal City. When they start to dock with the Space City, it is surprising that all this is really like As planned, the Eternal City is returning to what it was before it transformed into a fortress.

"The core compartment of the reactor is functioning well, the first command layer has been repaired 80.00% five, and the outer defense space dispatch rate is 20.00% seven."

"The integrity of the second industrial manufacturing cabin is 15.00%, and the third raw material storage warehouse has a battle loss of [-]%, which is within the maintenance range."

The fourth floor is the drone warehouse, and the original fifth floor has been completely separated in Sira, so the fifth floor is now being rebuilt, not only that, but also a steady stream of space stations are docking with the Eternal City.

"The application docking of the Institute of High Energy Physics, Ministry of Industry and Research."

"Poseidon University City Center database backup base station application docking."

"The docking of the orbital hydroponic farm has been completed, and the seed bank is in good refrigeration condition."

"The docking of the eighth-floor ecological living cabin has been completed, and the Eternal City plans to accommodate a population up to 15."
