Chapter 240: Time Runs Out (First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )


The lunar base is where the headquarters of the Earth Space Fleet is located.

Five days ago, the headquarters of the Earth Space Fleet was officially transferred from the earth to the moon, thus marking the official use of the lunar base. , The entire lunar base covers an area of ​​3,700 square kilometers.

When viewed from space, it has a ring-shaped structure.

The base has a huge space airport that can park 150 spaceships, as well as extremely complete various ancillary facilities, including defense systems, factories, and experiments.

Rooms, living areas and other parts are all available, just like a small society.

The center of the base is a huge core building.

Since it is on the moon, the main parts of all buildings are underground.

This is for air and survival reasons, and also for safety reasons.

Not far to the west of the center of the base, this is the "lung" of the entire base.

The ecological balance circle covering an area of ​​350 square kilometers provides air exchange and vegetable food needs for the entire base.

In the corner of the ecological balance circle, here is a special place In a small place, pines and cypresses are evergreen.

More than 20 generals with gold stars shining on their shoulders and solemn faces stood silently in front of an open space.

In front of them was a team wearing the uniforms of the Earth and Space Fleet, with black satin on their chests.

Bring the soldiers.

The coffin covered with the flag of the United Nations and the Earth and Space Fleet has been buried, and the firing of the soldiers with old-made rifles has also ended.

The melodious sound of the lights-out signal echoed in the air.

Every soldier present was fixated on the monument in front of them.

There was not a single person in the coffin.

There was a metal fragment not much bigger than a palm.

It represented the 37 soldiers on the Fengxiang, and their names were all on the marble tombstones.

This is a solemn cemetery, the final resting place for all the victims of the Earth Space Fleet.

The soldiers who died on the Fengxiang were the first batch of martyrs to be "buried" here, but everyone present today knows in their hearts that this The 37 heroic spirits are just the beginning.

Maybe before long there will be more and more tombstones like this, and it is very likely that there will be people among them who stay here quietly like the victims of the Fengxiang.

The military funeral was over, and General Mike Carson dragged his somewhat tired body back to the headquarters.

With him were the commanders of each fleet, several senior officers from the General Staff Headquarters, and senior personnel from the Earth Alliance organization.

These people came to attend a military funeral, but that was not their only purpose.

At the same time, there is a more important thing to gather together, and that is how to deal with the upcoming war between cosmic civilizations.

The failure of the "meteorite" interception mission cast a deep shadow over the Earth's space fleet, including the Earth Alliance organization.

No one present knew whether the Gaia civilization would immediately launch an attack on the Earth after recovering the "meteorite".

Even if it is not immediately, it is estimated that it will not be too long.

With the continuous advancement of Earth's technology and the rapid expansion of the Earth's space fleet in recent years, some people who were initially full of confidence in resisting the Gaia civilization were killed on the Fengxiang.

After that, the original firmness in my heart began to waver slightly.

No one knows what happened to the Fengxiang at that time.

It is impossible to know how they were destroyed by each other.

But just judging from the fact that the Fengxiang was destroyed before it could send a message to the headquarters, the situation at that time was probably more serious than imagined.

Facing the Gaia civilization, the Earth civilization that has just begun to leave its home planet is like a toddler that has just learned to walk.

The gap between the two sides is really too big.

With the current technological level of mankind on earth, there is still a long way to go before reaching the level of Gaia civilization.

Faced with the upcoming war and unknown opponents.

Everyone's heart is heavy.

Today the generals gathered together to discuss how to fight defensively.

Given the disparity between the two sides.

Taking the initiative to fight is equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg.

This is very clear to both the Chief of Staff, General Mike Carson, and the commanders of each squadron.

Currently, the lunar base is seizing time to build super-large electromagnetic guns and particle beam weapons.

These two weapons are the most powerful weapons owned by the Earth's space fleet.

The reason why construction on the moon base is considered is because the effectiveness of both electromagnetic guns and particle beam weapons will be greatly reduced when used in the earth's atmosphere, and construction on the moon base can not only maximize their power.

It is also possible to use current technology to make it a "fortress" to defend the earth.

At the same time, in the low-Earth orbit of the Earth's space, ring-shaped electromagnetic guns and particle beam weapons are also being constructed intensively.

They will form a mutually dependent formation with the lunar base as the last means of defense.

This arrangement can also make up for the lack of battleships in the Earth's space fleet.

To use an example, it is like China's Opium War in the 19th century.

The Manchu and Qing government at that time relied on ancient forts to resist the invasion of outsiders' cannons and giant ships.

Given the disparity in strength between the two sides, this was the only way.

These projects have actually started during the construction of the lunar base.

However, in addition to some of the ring-type electromagnetic guns and particle beam weapons in the low-Earth orbit of Earth's space that have been completed, other equipment, including the super-large equipment of the lunar base, will still take some time. can be completed.

Time is already very tight for humans on earth.

All we can do is pray that the Gaians will come later and give them more time.

While everyone in the Earth's Space Fleet was worried, the Gaians far away in the Oort Cloud were equally surprised.

Although the "meteorite", that is, the detection and monitoring device dropped into the solar system through a small spacecraft, was recovered, the recovered equipment had been damaged.

Although the particle beam launched by Mark, the captain of the Fengxiang, at the last moment did not completely destroy the device, But the consequences are very serious.

According to Yakko's detection, the particle beam weapons of the earth civilization caused great damage to the device.

Most of the stored information was destroyed, and the remaining data was incomplete.

Only a small part of the data could be restored.

This result made Ferro very angry, but when he carefully looked at the image data of the destruction of the Fengxiang, Ferro was greatly surprised.

You must know that when they captured the Hades spacecraft of the earth civilization near Pluto, the technology mastered by the earth civilization at that time was still very rudimentary.

However, in just a few years, the technology of the earth civilization suddenly developed to this level. , this can’t help but make Ferro shocked and puzzled at the same time.

The electromagnetic guns and particle beam weapons possessed by the Fengxiang have clearly proved that the earth's civilization has already half-stepped into the ranks of cosmic civilizations.

Although their weapons still have great limitations, when compared to the Gaia civilization , the gap between the two sides is basically the same as the distance between gunpowder guns and automatic rifles.

Of course, old-fashioned gunpowder guns are not as powerful as automatic rifles, and there are obvious differences between the two sides.

But one problem is obvious, that is, whether it is a gunpowder gun or an automatic rifle, they are thermal weapons.

The more important point cannot be ignored by Ferro, because no matter how primitive the thermal weapon is, it can also kill someone holding it.

The man with the automatic rifle, as a member of the cosmic civilization, is also a cosmic civilization that has gradually developed from this step.

Ferro knows this very well.

What Ferro couldn't figure out was how the earth's civilization could master these technologies so quickly.

The information he obtained showed that although the earth's civilization had begun research on electromagnetic guns and particle beam weapons, there were very few people who wanted to put the research into practical use.

Ten years or even hundreds of years are simply impossible.

The more advanced the technology, the more complex the problems to be solved, but in just a few years, the people on earth not only solved these problems, but also began to equip them with these weapons, which puzzled Ferro.

After reading this and carefully reading the information that Akko tried his best to compile, Ferro began to feel a little uneasy.

He feels that the earth's civilization is a civilization that he has never encountered before.

Their development is too fast.

If they continue to let it go, then maybe in a few days, the plan to occupy the earth will become more and more difficult.

Thinking of this, Ferro quickly connected the communication and invited Akko over.

When Akko stepped into his cabin, Ferro told him from the beginning that he was ready to take action to occupy the earth as soon as possible. aa2705221:
