People's Federation will live forever

"Leader, we have collected thirteen ray-level wreckages!" On the motorcycle, Miles' report has arrived, and his words are filled with deep loss and regret, "The subordinates are incompetent and have not collected all... "

"You've done a good job, CEO. I have seen all your sacrifices. I will remember all of their names forever."

A series of files flowed through the eyes of Li De Electronics. Miles knew that this was the leader who promoted the victim from a sinner to a martyr. The data files would be hand-carved on the Guangming Stone Tablet by craftsmen in the church. He knew that this was a great deal. The glory of being a soldier under the commander made his eyes wet, and the tears could not flow out under low gravity, but they flowed into his heart.

"And now." Li De looked into the distance, his thoughts gradually sank into the quantum matrix, "It's time to clean up the mess."

Coordinates received...

The silver-white Nibelungen lights up rows of red and green indicator lights, which means that the ship is gradually starting its upper and lower deck functions.Floating above the lunar surface with low energy consumption is one thing. A huge ship like this with a body length of 330 meters releases a huge amount of energy every time it moves its body, and the resulting inertia tests every piece of hardware on the ship.Please don't forget that the Nibelungen is a ten-year-old ship.

For ten years, it has been the trump card of the People's League for ten years, not because it is advanced. On the contrary, many technologies used on the Nibelungen are outdated, and the excessive weapon system is unreasonable. Its only reason for existence comes from In the early days of the People's Federation, there was insufficient demand for space battleships, and the policy of abandoning ground construction and switching to cheaper orbital construction.Its successor is laying the keel, and the Eternal City is determined to use maximum efficiency to build a new fleet to replace the Nibelungen, and extend human power to the stars.

But it has not lost its value, at least for now, it still has the power to deal with the enemies of the Renlian, or, as far as the watcher is concerned, it will never let go of the enemies that threaten the main body.

The No. [-] to No. [-] artillery groups have locked the target, the reactor is operating at full power, and the Hammer of Dawn system is warming up——

Directly in front of the ship, the double-mounted heavy-duty turrets raised by the protrusions are slightly heated, and the positron annihilation cannon, which is identical to the silver-white ring, is extracting surging energy and compressing it to a point.

"Announcement to all combatants on the front line, please evacuate the broadcast coordinates, the ray-level hunting has been successful, and the blocking campaign has been completed. Your retreat will not affect your due honor. We will cherish the memory of the victims and inherit their will until Ultimate victory."

In the quantum matrix, Li De stood side by side with the watchman, and they read out this declaration together, one gentle, one cold, intertwined into a unique majesty, and broadcast to the front line, the moon base, the eternal city and even Every city of Thira passes.

"After so many years, we have once again tasted the bitterness of war. We are no strangers to it, and it has never frightened us. Remember what happened today, and strengthen your belief that the future of mankind will always be in the hands of In our own hands."

Hot laser beams gushed out, and the six-pack of the Hammer of Dawn spanned hundreds of kilometers, hitting the battlefield in a slanted straight line. The guards who were organizing the retreat looked at the battlefield behind them, but saw that the laser beams that were moving and sweeping had already wiped out the entire surface of the moon. The earth turned into a hell of molten fire, the once countless betas were gone, all vaporized and no bones remained.

However, it is impossible to sweep the entire battlefield with the Hammer of Dawn alone. The middle part of the bow of the ship has opened up heavy protection, revealing a giant muzzle based on the axis, and the brilliance of the sun shines in the center of the muzzle.

"The ion cannon system is online."

In the past few days, the people of the People's Federation can always see flashes of light from the moon at night. They may not know what happened specifically, but all this tells them everything about the war.It's all different - they probably never realized it before, fighting on alien planets, and about the enemies coming from the vast universe.

"The strong rule over the weak, the strong guide the weak, and the strong protect the weak."

In front of the observation deck of the Eternal City, Olivia watched the flashes of the ion cannon on the distant moon. After a long time, she closed the shutters wearily, and put her lowered hand on Irena's head.

"Follow me to the moon?"

PS: The workload has increased recently, I will try my best not to affect the update, thank you for your support.

Chapter 39 Triumph?No, it's just the beginning of the storm

"boom!"

A cannon shot rang out in the capital of the Blue-Eyes Islands, and soon, one cannon shot after another was rhythmically connected—hundreds of cannons sang in unison, firing 21 shots in a row according to the habit from the earth.The sound of rumbling guns resounded all over the world, and it was midnight at this time, and the capital of the archipelago, which had been expanded into a super metropolis, became a sea of ​​lights, where victory was celebrated, the first victory in the war between humans and alien species.

People leave their posts and take public vehicles to the first main road of the city to enter and exit the ecological dome. The holographic image projection has spread all over the glass dome, and the news drones that come and go occupy all the favorable shots. , the buildings around the main road were incorporated into the ground, so as to accommodate hundreds of thousands of capital residents to watch the ceremony.

The 21-gun salute is the custom of the earth, and the triumphal ceremony is the custom of Sylla.Teams of Guardsmen stepped neatly from the barracks in the city. They wore long silver-white dresses, and stepped on high boots to follow the beat of the drums.The muzzle of the cavalry-style rifle pointed high at the sky, and the hanging bayonet reflected the brilliance of the lights. When the soldiers marched forward in unison, the shining bayonet almost caught people's attention.

The military band played a marching song, and it was none other than General Hoffman, who was most familiar to the people of Thira, leading the soldiers forward.The old man's face is serious, his weather-beaten face has not been rejuvenated by stem cell reconstruction surgery, and his eyes are shaded by the large human union-style cap-pussing his lips, not squinting, with rigid precision Step forward.

Every five meters, the last soldier will stop on both sides of the road and turn around as a pacesetter. 2000 people lined up on both sides of the road, covering five kilometers of the path.The sound of the salute had stopped, and the old general had come to the end of the road. He drew out his ceremonial saber with a "swish", pointed it obliquely at the sky, and swung it down: "Triumph—begin! Salute to the heroes of the Lunar Expeditionary Force!"

On the viewing platform, the group of friends of the People's Federation... Ah, members of the People's Federation, put their hands on their chests like countless people of the People's Federation, and looked towards the slowly opened dome door.The military band played a passionate march again, but at this time the crowd had an uproar, because the first person they saw was their leader!

Li De took the lead in stepping into the city's ecological dome. He was wearing a black classical robe, holding a sword in his left hand, and his face was as calm as water.Long live cheers came from both sides of the road, and there was a lot of voices, but he took it calmly.And as he moved forward, one after another transport vehicle followed slowly behind him, the citizens widened their eyes curiously, and the mother subconsciously covered the child's eyes, because the items displayed on the transport vehicle were sealed beta in glass.

Soldier class, fighter class, tank class, and heavy-duty truck-loaded assault class-these monsters are nearly dead, but still in good shape.The people finally saw their enemies intuitively. Those ferocious monsters with humanoid appearances are disgusting, and they are existences that must be destroyed in every sense.

The congressmen had complex expressions, but they finally showed a relieved smile—the People’s Federation has proven its ability to defeat the enemy, and their worries are gone. All that remains is to continue to step up production investment and completely wipe out the moon.Among the happy people was Anya. After the battle a few days ago, she finally communicated with Marcus, which made her want to be a soldier, not a so-called consul.

However, the triumph is a triumph, but it is impossible for troops stationed on the moon to return to the surface.With the arrival of the second batch of expeditionary forces, the defensive strength of the lunar surface has doubled. The council has passed several large-scale military and scientific research projects in a row. Humanity has achieved a complete victory, but it reassures the busy citizens and boosts the morale of the entire society.

Troops can't return, but that doesn't mean everyone - Li De looked back, and his look back this time attracted everyone's attention, because behind the encouraging trophy caravan was a second caravan, leading this caravan. General Commander of the Guards, General Wu Wei.

The warm atmosphere gradually subsided. General Wu Wei personally supported the coffins, and the alloy coffins lay quietly on the vehicle.Laser-ablated inscriptions are all over the face of the coffins. These coffins vary in size, because some soldiers have been unable to find the remains, so they can only make a cloak for him.

No matter how glorious the victory is, there is a price. War is not a game.The victims ushered in their triumph, but the honor is not enough to compensate for their lost lives - Li De knows this well, but he also understands that this road full of sacrifices will continue to move forward, and people in the future will continue to move forward. The second possibility.

This is the reality of this world. It is not that if you do not advance, you will retreat, but if you do not advance, you will die.As the coffin of the victim passed in front of everyone, people's feelings were not extinguished, but became reserved. After being compressed in the heart, this feeling burned into another kind of power, and this power would make the whole The thinking of the ethnic group has been sublimated.

There is no victory won without knowing why to fight, to teach them, and then let the soldiers and the people experience it for themselves.Blindly flaunting victory is one-sided, and Li De does not want to bring the People's Federation into a dead end of fascism at all.

It can be said to be grand, but it can also be said to be special. At the same time as this triumphant ceremony took place, in the sky above Sira's head, in the burning sky, the eight ships belonging to the People's Federation once again arrived at the base on the moon.With the experience of the previous two times, the third launch seemed to be a breeze. Heavy containers were loaded with rocket buffers and dropped from the hook of the transport barge. Face—the vehicle for transporting materials has already been ready to go, with [-] tons of cargo and [-] soldiers. The strength of the lunar base has become more and more stable, which made the general frowned in a rare way.

The leader's consciousness has been transferred to the ground, and she is in charge of the lunar base at this time. At the same time, the Delta team has to temporarily report to Olivia due to the nature of the mission-this makes the three rough guys feel very uncomfortable. comfortable.

The three of them got off the lunar rover together, and looked at the back of Olivia who only needed to wear a breathing mask in a vacuum, and was wearing a tunic coat with her hands behind her back. The three stabbed each other, and finally Maku Stein pushed Cole hard, and Bud kicked Cole in the ass.

Olivia had already known about their arrival, and the expressionless general turned around. Cole, who was 1.9 meters four, faced Olivia, who was 1.8 meters and three, and lost a bit of momentum.

"Is there anything to say?"

"Er... um... report!"

Cole was wearing power armor with his head held high, his eyes fixed on his nose, his nose and his heart, and he uttered a long series of words: "According to your order, General, we have completed the integration of the tactical network of the light-level hunting troops and are ready. Professor, the new black hand army, but those guys just don't speak, making the atmosphere very dull. By the way, Bud said that Miss Irena has been staying in his laboratory in a daze and can't go out. He can't work, so I ask you to send her away. !"

Cole, who read it in one breath for nearly a minute without panting, took a step back immediately after finishing his report. Olivia frowned. She still doesn't understand why Li De let these three people be his personal guards. ,but...

"Wait, Irena? What do you think happened to Irena?"

PS: Good evening~ Are you all going to bed soon?Before going to bed, don’t forget to clear today’s tickets to avoid waste. 233333

Chapter 40 Wormholes and spaceships

"Time and space are not separated, and space and gravity are not independent systems. These are the results recognized by the past scientific circles...I mean, the two scientific circles of Scylla and Earth."

Poseidon City·Sylla Higher Academy of Sciences

As the highest institution of the People's Federation, the council has invested heavily in it.Although the foundation of the People's Federation is weak, the population is small, and there are not many students, which makes this university seem to be a bit misnamed, but Li De's method is elite education for all-as a civic duty, it is compulsory, and every young person is not left behind. Popularize hypnotic memory instillation and holographic teaching with children.If I said before that the People's Federation prohibits non-disabled body modification, the only exception is that everyone can apply for the implantation of neuron chips.

These once cruel cyborg puppet (brain control) systems have been improved to promote the thinking and memory functions of the brain, and the electronic brain transformation that further embeds microelectronic components and nanotubes can enable the human-physical network.People's Federation spares no effort to promote these technologies. The purpose is to improve the knowledge level of society as a whole. Even if a person does not have scientific talents, he can at least become a qualified engineer with the help of chips, and a few geniuses can be quickly promoted. Give it a platform to play.

And Karen is the beneficiary of this system. He is only in his 20s, and he has tackled basic physics, and now he has become one of the most important figures in the entire People's Federation.Although he himself is not conscious of this, he is also ignorant of the mission he undertakes.

"Comparing space to a flexible film, comparing a celestial body to a sphere placed on the film, the place where the sphere is placed will produce a depression on the film, the greater the mass of the sphere, the greater the depression, and Because of the slope effect, matter attracts matter to matter."

With a wave of his hand, Karen removed this oversimplified model projection: "This statement is popular but inaccurate, and space is not flat, but since earth scientists discovered that gravitons have filled the vacancy in Sylla's academia, we have research space better tools."

The audience in the audience stared intently at the densely packed equations in the holographic projection, while at the other end of the network, Li De was also paying attention to the speech - "We are standing on the shoulders of our predecessors, and we are fortunate to be able to seek knowledge from a higher world. With this foundation, we can decipher the gifts left to us by our ancestors (hyacinths)."

Wormholes are a means to break/skip/penetrate the continuity of time and space. Our space is non-spherical and non-flat, more like a series of folds, using extremely high energy to create an instantaneous and huge mass to create the collapse of space, just like Prick small holes in the paper to accommodate objects penetrating/falling through.Then the space is restored under the "squeeze", and the "falling objects" circumvent the theorem that the speed of light cannot be surpassed in a clever way.

"Excuse me, doctor, how do we know where this hole will let us fall?"

The person who asked the question was a general wearing a gold star. He said curiously: "We all know the tragedy of the hyacinth, how to solve the reliability of the wormhole? Things that cannot be controlled are dangerous, and we have only been in space for a few years. "

"General, your question is not correct. The Hyacinth's wormhole jump did not make a mistake. They were destroyed in space and sank...but that is another matter. To jump accurately, we need coordinates."

Karen's answer was nonsense, but immediately, he returned to the previously extended gravitons-"Opening a wormhole will release excess gravitons. The farther the distance is, the greater the fluctuations will be. Measure their physical quantities and encode them mathematically. , trial and error."

"If Scylla is taken as 0 point and the physical quantity measured on the moon is 1 point, then the converted input energy can match the cataloged coordinates!"

---

In the secret compartment of the Eternal City, as Li De's consciousness came to the prosthetic body waiting here, the body opened its eyes, unplugged the cable and stood up from the seat.

Karen is indeed a rare talent. It is impossible for the People's Federation of science to rely solely on Ensig. Although Li De himself has strong computing power, he has no scientific thinking and can only do some auxiliary work. The result is very satisfying.

But that's not all. Even Karen himself didn't know that many of the research materials he obtained came from deciphering the Sijin documents.Two-way wormholes are not something that the 1.3-level civilization of the People's Federation can grasp. I just took advantage of it and realized the leapfrog development of science and technology. Li De can't tell whether it is good or bad, but the ancients have something to say.

If God does not take it, you will be blamed; if the time is not welcomed, you will be blamed instead.

However, two-way wormholes are not so easy to manufacture. It requires the establishment of stable facilities on both sides of Sira and the moon and the injection of energy to maintain them. Before counting on wormholes, the People's Federation also needs the traditional transportation method-fleet.

Since the battle ended a month ago, the only eight barges have been overloaded for a long time, but there is no chance for maintenance.In order to solve this dilemma, the People's Federation adopted two simultaneous solutions:

One is to directly cast the main parts of the spaceship from the ground, and then transport it from the launch station to the port of the Eternal City with a heavy-duty launch vehicle for assembly.Even if the cost is not counted, the clumsy rocket is not very efficient, the catapult accelerator can only transport the container, and the orbital elevator is still on the blueprint, so this method can only be regarded as a last resort.

The second type is what Li De is seeing right now, a new belt that appeared at the end of the entire Eternal City, a new belt that did not exist a month ago, but is now "growing" day by day.

There are clear magnetic slide rails on the silver titanium alloy casing, on which countless industrial robots run. The 3D printer spits out semi-molten materials, the robotic arm embeds the components and cables, and the precise laser cutting welds the shell meticulously.And in some key parts, the boxes fixed in the air are flowing with nano-fluid, and countless nano-robots devour raw materials according to the underlying blueprint while laying out a giant steel frame structure, as if a tree is growing. new branches.

It is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is the first interstellar dock of the People's Federation. Although it is the latest outer ring at the end of the Eternal City, its volume is larger than the previous rings. The four docks that have been built Even the Nibelungen can directly drive into its interior. In fact, these docks have been fully activated since they were built. Some ships that are very different in shape from the Nibelungen have already laid the huge keel of the central axis. , The giant mechanical arm with a length of more than ten meters is constructing its basic shape like a textile machine, and every detail shows the industrial strength of Renlian.

The real space fleet is taking shape, carrying the hope of the People's Federation, like the rising sun, but it will take time to grow.

Forget it, I have been watching for a long time, maybe it is time to return to the moon?

He thought so, but when he thought of the two on the moon, especially Irena, he couldn't help but get another headache.

"This girl, won't cause any damage on the moon, will she?"

---

This is a world... I don't know how to describe it, and I don't know where it is.

It seems to be in a dream, but it is also like being in the mother's womb, soaked in warm amniotic fluid.There is nothing here, stretch out your hand, but you can't feel your own arm, people are also confused like drunk, can't tell the difference between up and down, and can't tell the truth from the illusion.

But Irena doesn’t dream, if she did, it was before she died, so this place is real, I didn’t rely on seeing or listening, but a feeling, the feeling of color brought me here , like visiting someone's house.

Why do you say this is someone else's home?Because Irena had already come in front of that little piece of color, she seemed to be able to see it, because the other side was also looking at her.

It was a girl, about the same height as her, who seemed to have very long white hair, which reminded Irena of her sister, she liked it, and couldn't help stretching out her "hand", but her actions seemed to scare the other party.

"Who are you!?"

The small voice was mixed with crying.

Chapter 41 The Calm Before the Storm

On the front side of the moon, Z87 area on the edge, 30 kilometers away from the dark side.

A whole team of 5 "Oka II" galloped across the desolate lunar surface in the polar space. Along with the flight, the rotary magazine under the belly of the aircraft dropped an unknown disc-shaped device from time to time.The flight without atmospheric shielding was so fast, they crossed the junction point of black and white in a blink of an eye, and only then did they dare to raise the flight altitude with confidence.

It is an amazing thing to see a former endo-atmospheric vehicle in space, when the plasma propulsion replaced the turbine engine, recast with titanium alloy armor and modified with modern electronic technology - once made great contributions to the United Nations The Orca fighter was reborn among the stars.

Although compared to its father, it is simply a redesigned weapon. The essential difference between a space fighter and a spaceship lies in the size. The fully enclosed cockpit has been covered with reinforced metal armor, and the internal pilots rely entirely on analog screens and holograms. Projection to observe the exterior, and there is no canard that caters to the aerodynamic layout—these are all different from the past. Maybe it is just because the author is unwilling to design a bunch of new equipment that readers can’t remember the name and have no emotion?

"Call the vanguard, this is the 'Echo' squadron, the bait is set!"

Orca's engine emitted a dazzling white light, and five fighter planes flew over a low valley, and in the valley, a hidden army had just buried a nuclear warhead.Seeing the fighter planes flying overhead, Major General Kanifik gestured to the whole team, and the team members turned over on their hoverbikes and drove in the opposite direction—these soldiers looked a little special, although they were different from the guards in hard spacesuits. The army has the same painting, but it is all powered armor, and its weapons are even better than those of the black hand.

As they drove away from the trough, the reconnaissance drone on the back seat of their motorcycle also ejected into the sky, the tactical network began to connect in parallel, and the high-magnification optical lens discovered the torrent of beta rolling on the horizon, just like the one a month ago It's just a blocking battle, but this time the guards are not even ready to deploy the line of defense.

The major general's expression cannot be seen through the helmet, but his voice is as calm as water: "The beta cluster has entered the ambush circle according to the bait path, and the plan is transferred to the third stage."

"Strike force received, ready to perform light-level confirmation!"

The progress of the plan was as clear as the hands on a clock. Colonel Malashenko cut off the communication in the large guard force at the rear. A heavy-duty truck behind him had already erected its missile tube, just waiting for him With one order, the huge missile rose from the ground, changed its orbit and went straight to the front line like a meteor.

The short-range surface-to-surface missile suddenly accelerated to Mach 4, and then jettisoned the projectile body. The fairing disintegrated by itself, and dozens of small fist-thick missiles emerged from it for secondary ignition, spreading the distance and pounced on the incoming beta cluster. past--

The swarm missiles that exploded were as brilliant as pyrotechnics. Dozens of warheads were continuously dropped by lasers from the horizon from halfway, and only a few "survivors" successfully hit their targets in just one breath. .And this short trial was accurately recorded by the laser detector and fed back to the tactical network.

"The ray level is confirmed, the number is 24, and no heavy ray level has been found! According to the optical scan, we are going to face [-] of them this time...Damn it, how can they have so many resources to hatch!"

No one could answer Malashenko's complaints. When the number of ray-levels was confirmed, the silicon chip energy emitted by the bait caused the betas to move forward in a dense formation, and soon rushed to the area where the vanguard troops had been. trough.At this time, Major General Kanifik, who had already left, led the troops to make a big turn, and at the same time fired a pulse signal, activating the Grim Reaper buried underground...

The flash of another nuclear explosion illuminated the world, and then another and another, and a total of four nuclear mines shrouded the entire valley in fusion flames.During the nuclear explosion, the main force of beta-intensive tanks and key strikes vaporized in an instant, leaving only a small tail slowly falling behind as if wiped away.

At this time, the beta cluster was only left with some small bodies traveling with the light level at low speed, and the large troops behind fired the remaining honeycomb missiles at intervals of every 12 seconds (when the light level was cooling down). After all the lasers fired into the sky, Kanifik pulled up the front of the car and led the entire vanguard to pass over the cluster.

"Black Watch, prepare to engage the enemy!"

A textbook ambush, a classic victory.

"When the Black Watch troops quickly cleared all the ordinary light-levels, the 'Echo Squadron' can use air strikes to eliminate the remaining small bodies and wipe out the beta cluster."

In the military situation room, the staff officer pointed to the holographic image and explained: "Beta's action rules can be easily summarized. They are naturally sensitive to high-power electronic instruments. The sensors scattered along the air force restrict their action routes. After gathering at the predetermined location, the standby nuclear mines can clear a large area of ​​​​attack clusters at one time. In fact, if necessary, we can also be included in the range of nuclear explosions together with the rear light level..."

"But we need to collect light-level corpses."

Li De replied to the staff officer, who saluted him: "Yes, leader, to separate that mysterious element from the ordinary light level, the science department needs more materials."

The G element exists in the light-level body. It is this magical element that allows a living body to emit powerful laser light. It is like a magical catalyst that has the potential to change the science of the Human Federation.

After the blocking battle with a lot of casualties a month ago, Li De not only led the People's League to win the crucial battle, but also verified the perfect beta tactical system in this battle.The purpose of the experience gained in exchange for blood is to prevent latecomers from having to make sacrifices. As the strength of the lunar base continues to strengthen, the People's Federation's front against Beta has been able to maintain a stable line to the junction of light and darkness.
