On the other side of the earth, in a shadow space obscured by the earth itself, there is a huge engineering harbor that is being built non-stop. However, due to the impact of the war, a large number of personnel here have been transferred to the front line, and there are only a few hundred engineering teams working with a large number of artificial intelligence AI to build. Compared to the previous construction speed, the construction speed has dropped significantly due to the lack of manpower.

In addition, in order to maintain concealment, the complex has been kept on the back side of the earth, and the surrounding area has been electromagnetically shielded, so it is extremely difficult to detect.

It is also because of this that the news of the crushing defeat of the UNSC fleet and the slaughter of humanity by the Covenant did not reach here. Otherwise, the remaining hundreds of engineers would have panicked and wanted to return to Earth immediately to find their families.

Although it was a tense construction site, these skilled workers were still able to quickly start construction while chatting to relieve tension. This is the patent of the old bird, otherwise in this quiet space, the newcomer will go crazy because of this empty environment if he stays a little longer.

Therefore, there is one punishment in the army that can be called the most hated by all soldiers!

Even a highly trained soldier would go crazy for a few days in a small, airtight room, let alone an ordinary person. After all, human beings are intelligent beings who live collectively, and all people need to communicate and interact with the people around them. If a person is completely isolated from the entire human society, he will soon either go crazy or become mentally ill.

So in this space construction process, the command team even encourages all the workers to have long small talk. It's called a public chat room. Everyone can speak freely in it, and the purpose is to eliminate the loneliness and fear that human beings have in the face of the empty universe.

I saw several workers operating a large construction spaceship there, while manipulating the mechanical arm to install the huge outer shell, while chatting: "It's been quiet on the other side of the earth lately, I heard that we haven't received any information for thirty hours!"

"Cut, your news is long outdated, a large number of personnel have been withdrawn before, and it is said that it is because the Star Alliance is here again!"

"Ah, those aliens are here again, it's really hateful, if I were also a combatant, I would be able to teach those savage animals a hard lesson!"

This little brother's boasting of Haikou obviously made the others laugh.

"Forget it, Xiao Qi, just your thin arms and legs, it's hard to carry an automatic rifle, and you're still fighting with aliens, be careful that the other party gives you a lightsaber!"

Some old men unscrupulously burst into foul language, making Xiao Qi's face a burst of blood red. And the old birds around were also happy to laugh when they heard this yellow tone. In this ghost place, only these big men will come, and they can't see any women for ten days and half a month, so these people talk about yellow jokes endlessly!

Just when everyone was chatting hotly, a communication signal suddenly came to everyone's ears.

"Urgent notice, there is a UNSC fleet that will join us, everyone put down what they are doing and report to the command center immediately!"

Hearing this, what is the fleet doing in this place, aren't they fighting on the front line? ？

Thinking of the possibilities, everyone suddenly panicked.

Regardless of the work at hand, these engineers all quickly drove the engineering ship to the simple engineering bay port of berth.

While they were mooring, one huge UNSC warship after another slowly drove over from the other end.

It is obviously the fleet that mankind is most proud of, but seeing the current state of the fleet, everyone is panicked!

The beautiful gray paint was all blackened, and bullet marks were all over the surface of the battleship. There were even many warships that exploded from time to time on the surface and burst into flames.

"How can it be so miserable, and there are so many fewer of them, doesn't it mean that the UNSC has assembled a large fleet of more than a thousand ships, why is it that only these less than a hundred broken warships have come to us now?"

"Damn, is it that the UNSC is defeated, and if the fleet is defeated, what will happen to the earth?"

"I'm going back, we're going back, there's still my family on Earth!"

Seeing the tragic state of the UNSC fleet, everyone boiled.

They began to worry about the safety of their loved ones on Earth.

It was in the midst of this commotion that the last UNSC fleet was moored on this huge artificial ring.

。。。

"That's the case, Colonel Schill, now I need you to work with us to defend the engineering dockyard, and what more civilians do I need to join us in speeding up the construction of the artificial ring. General Hood said with a slightly bitter face.

Conscripting civilians was the last thing he wanted to do. The duty of the military is to protect the people, and if you put the people you need to protect on the battlefield, it does not mean that these soldiers are quite incompetent.

Hearing General Hood's words, Colonel Hill, the head of Engineering Bay, was obviously a little unable to react. The amount of information just now is a bit too much.

The fleet was defeated, the enemy had more than ten times its own strength, and dragged an artificial fortress with a diameter of 400 kilometers into the Earth's low-earth orbit.

Now on Earth, all major cities are under attack by the Covenant fleet, and tens of thousands of people die under the fire of the Covenant almost every second. If we don't turn the tide of the war, everyone, and even the entire human race, will die today.

"General, I, please allow me to convey this message to all civilians, I cannot make decisions for them. But my subordinates and I will fight to the death together with the general!"

"Well, I understand, go ahead! If those civilians want to return to Earth, let them go. ”

"Thank you, General, for your understanding. I'm going to inform the civilians!"

Soon, Colonel Hill spread the news to all civilians that the fleet had been defeated, the Covenant army was overwhelmed, and the major cities of Earth were being slaughtered. As expected, upon hearing the news, a large number of civilians began to get emotional.

"Cowards, you UNSC are cowards, how can you leave the earth you want to protect and escape?"

"Get out of the way, I'm going back. Give me a shuttle and I'm going back to my family!"

The news of the defeat unnerved everyone, and chaos began to spread.

And these soldiers who retreated together were also depressed and depressed.

Everyone knows that if there is no miracle, soon the Earth will be completely destroyed by the Covenant and humanity will perish. In this apocalyptic world, everyone has already begun to go berserk.

A remnant army, a chaotic crowd of civilians, and an unfinished artificial ring. Behind them was an Covenant chaser with two hundred ships. No matter how you look at it, it's a rhythm that will be completely destroyed!

Just when everyone had almost lost confidence, a voice suddenly sounded in everyone's hearts.

"Ignorant people, can escaping save you? It is up to you whether you return to Earth and wait for the Covenant to slaughter, or here, take up the weapons in your hands and fight the Covenant to the death. You can't escape death, but you can choose the battlefield of death! Will you fight to the end and die on the starship, or will you let the Covenant lift you by the neck and kill you like a lamb to the slaughter!"
