Chapter 285: Atmospheric Stripping (1)

"I have a bad premonition, can I contact the other detachments in orbit to discuss the possibility of forming a joint defense force?"

The communication loop was jammed, but it was barely functioning, and the image of Verelli on the other end flickered.

"We, the starships in orbit, have already communicated with each other, but the command vetoed this proposal, their opinion is that once a more powerful defense system is formed, it will inevitably encounter a more powerful attack, and it will be troublesome to recall the main force of the unmanned fleet that was once attracted away."

After listening to Wei Leili's introduction, I angrily slapped the console in front of me, but I was helpless.

General Kramer is right, the reason why we have the opportunity to save people is entirely due to the absence of the main force of the unmanned fleet, and once a joint defense body that is too powerful is formed to attract the attention of the enemy's main fleet, the effect may be counterproductive.

"Officer, a large number of unmanned ships have been found to be gathering in the middle orbit!"

The contact from the fleet made me tremble, is it too greedy, the main force of the unmanned fleet came back to help?

Just as I was overwhelmed by regret and pounding my chest again for my poor command level, the second round of intelligence showed that a large number of small unmanned ships in the middle orbit showed no signs of attacking, but surrounded a total of twelve unknown installations, arranged in a defensive line.

"This is not a good phenomenon, and the twelve devices must be devices that carry out some kind of action on the surface of the earth. I recommend that the ground rescue force evacuate quickly, inform as many survivors as possible, and take refuge underground. ”

On the other end of the spectrum, Verelli's expression was solemn, and I believed his point of view, realizing that something bad was about to happen. While ordering the Thresher Shark group to evacuate after the rescue operation was completed, the Marine Corps was organized to escort the ship group.

If Mrs. Wall is about to carry out some kind of horrific lie against Earth, then all we can do is delay the fact of the plan as much as possible, or simply sabotage them.

At 45 hours and 50 minutes into the battle, I received contact from the Marine Corps, and a group of people claiming to be members of the Children of Mars said that they knew me and needed to confirm their identities.

This is pretty much the best news I've ever received since I returned to Earth. As an orphan, although the earth is the birthplace, it is not regarded by me as my hometown, but as a guest Mars, because it has too deep an impact, and it has a sense of home in my mind. Now I am a homeless soul, and I actually heard the news from an acquaintance in my hometown, and this feeling is really like meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land.

"Oh no! Zhao Ping, hurry up and find a way, they really want to kill them all! ”

The bunch of words thrown in the communication circuit made me feel a little dizzy.

“......?”

"Stupid, what are you still doing there!? The earthlings are dying, and you don't stop them! ”

"Don't be scared, what the hell is going on?"

Just by listening to the tone, you can tell that it is Teresa on the other end of the line. This familiar tone of voice made me feel familiar, and with it, the bad mood became good.

"Oh, you chronicle! Atmospheric stripping, they want to strip the earth's atmosphere, this is what the experts around me say, and there can be absolutely no mistake. ”

That's when I noticed that there was someone I didn't know standing next to Teresa.

But when I understood the meaning of her words, I didn't have time to care if the person was an expert or not.

Atmospheric stripping, which is technically absolutely feasible and has been used once in the history of human warfare. As a direct result of that catastrophe, more than 70 million people on a colonized planet were killed.

Because of the killing of so many people, the use of the atmospheric stripping device has been banned by the major forces of mankind since that time, and it is not even possible to study it. Remember that the only time in history that a weapons ban was imposed on nuclear weapons. However, since humans were able to colonize other planets, the threat of nuclear weapons to all mankind has been greatly reduced, so atmospheric glass weapons have become the only thing banned in the human arsenal.

I didn't expect Mrs. Wall to use this taboo on Earth. I'm reminded of what the Proxima Centauri devils said about Mrs. Wall, that they want to exterminate all of humanity. Now it seems that after fighting with them all year round, the devils' evaluation of Mrs. Wall is quite pertinent.

"It can't be slow, wait until the 12 glass devices are activated at once, it only takes less than a day, the structure of the Earth's atmosphere will change, and in the next four days, the existing atmosphere will gradually leave its original position and turn into interstellar material into the Earth's satellite orbit. Without the thought intervention, the planet may never be restored to its original state in the future. ”

The man next to Teresa interjected.

"Who are you? Is this reliable? ”

"You doubt my words? I'm the chief planetary physicist in the galaxy, my words ......"

I don't care who the chief planetary physicist is, and since it has been confirmed that he is not sensational, Mrs. Wall must not be allowed to succeed. You know, even if there is a terrible planetary bombardment, or a nuclear weapon bombardment, someone on the planet will survive after all, and although the casualties are heavy, there will be no extinction. Atmospheric glass, unlike this practice, deprives all the necessary substances needed for normal life. Even if you are lucky enough to escape the first few days by hiding in an underground secret room, what happens next? There is no air, there is no water source, the planet is originally like a huge recycling factory, capable of producing all the materials necessary for the survival of tens of billions of living beings, which is the foundation and foundation of survival, once the atmosphere is stripped away, everything will disappear, and the planet itself will become a real death zone. It would take hundreds of years and generations of unremitting efforts to reuse the planet to complete the creation of a fully enclosed city with a core of some concentrated points, just like the Moon. And the existing human beings on the earth, no one can or see that day, this is the real extinction, different from what the devil did on Mars, different from all the war maniacs in human history, it is the real human extinction.

I cannot stand idly by in the face of Mrs. Wall, who is about to do so.

Immediately contact the Kings and ask Verelli and Maxim to urgently formulate a tactical case. Give the Thresher Shark group a person to immediately implement an emergency departure procedure to stay as far away from Earth as possible and away from the threat of an unmanned fleet. Because in the next step, the detachment will mobilize all forces to clear the atmospheric stripping equipment in the middle orbit, and there will be no time to protect them.

At the same time, I ask the Wanwang to contact all available fleet forces, including the main fleet, and ask the various ship groups to send all the combat forces that can be dispatched to assist in the destruction of the atmospheric glass equipment.

At 46 hours and 10 minutes on the battlefield, Wei Leili reported that after calculation, Mrs. Wall's protection level against atmospheric stripping equipment was very high, and in a short period of time, except for Titan-class weapons, it was impossible to break its defenses, and interstellar infantry boarding tactics must be used to destroy the relevant equipment.

At this point I had calmed down.

Since it's a mission that only interstellar infantry can do, it's exactly what I want.

As the successor to Sample 12 that year, my abilities are inherently restrained by Mrs. Wall's mechanical combat forces. They've killed so many of their comrades, they've destroyed Mars, and even Karin has died indirectly from their burns from their bombardments, and I've got a grudge against those Iron Heads. Let me stop their plot with my own hands.

......

......

In 47 hours, the time for the scheduled sortie, one after another the attack boats were launched into the earth's mid-orbit.

In space, artificial points of light gathered, and the lines of fire with destructive properties were intertwined, and the light of the explosion sometimes illuminated the already gray-brown surface of the earth like the sun.

I didn't expect that there was still so much power left on the earth. For a variety of reasons, these forces lurk in the shadows. Until the detachment sent the bad news of atmospheric stripping and related countermeasures on the radio. Countless combat boats, shuttles appeared, the trenches of the Atlantic, the depths of the Pacific Ocean, and the crevices of the glaciers in the Arctic Circle, all kinds of combat forces, and even cruisers and battleships, respectively attacked the 12 deadly weapons that were being prepared in the middle orbit.

The people of the solar system, or the people of the earth, finally came together at this last moment.
