Chapter 290: The Verge

July 16, 1st year of the new era.

The new human space force, the Blue Star First Fleet, was established.

In the cockpit of the Huo Qubing space battleship, 11 space force soldiers were piloting and operating the space battleship, and the captain and fleet commander of the fleet, Rear Admiral Luo Feng, quietly looked at the real-time star map of the Blue Moon system.

At present, the First Fleet of the Space Force Blue Star already has the flagship "Huo Quai" and two ships of the same class, "Li Guang" and "Wei Qing".

The standard number of personnel is 11, including 1 captain, 2 deputy captains, 1 communicator, 1 monitor, 1 logistics administrator, 1 loss management officer, 2 maintenance engineers, and 2 gunners.

Many of them wear many hats, such as two co-captains, who are not only responsible for piloting the battleship, but also as temporary tactical commanders, temporary gunners, or temporary communicators.

The standard 1334-ton Huo Qu disease class looks a lot more than the International Space Station, which is more than 300 tons, but in fact, when the two are put together, the volume does not look much larger.

Because the spacecraft does not have solar panels, coupled with the high speed of flying, the structure is very compact.

The battleship looks like seven cylinders tied together, divided into four compartments, from beginning to end: the fighting compartment area, the integrated auxiliary cabin area, the driving and logistics cabin area, and the power and fuel compartment area.

There are also 12 external auxiliary engines, which are mainly used to change direction and brake.

Luo Feng stared at the star map, at this time, above the Blue Moon System, above the low earth orbit, the Illuminati only had a base on the original International Space Station.

The International Space Station was named the "near-Earth space port" by the Illuminati, and it has expanded from more than 300 tons to about 2,400 tons.

Six lizardmen from the Illuminati are stationed on it, responsible for the transit of the Blue Star and the Moon, as well as monitoring the new humans and the HRE Federation.

Then there are the 27 satellites of the HRE Federation, and the rest of the Blue Star Low Earth Orbit and Medium and High Orbit are the territory of the new humans.

In lunar orbit, on the other hand, the new humans have only 11 phoenix moons on it, and the rest of the region is entrenched by the Illuminati.

According to the provisions of the New York Agreement, the division of power between the three parties in the Blue Star and Blue Moon systems has been fixed, but the treaty is used to tear up.

The new humans never wanted to share the Blue Moon System and the Solar System with the lizardmen and the old humans, but they were forced to fear each other to stop the Blue Star Unification War.

"Captain, there's a situation." Monitor Xiao Bing reported: "According to the data of the Gaoming 1 Sky Observation Satellite Co., an M-shaped rocky asteroid with a diameter of 1280~1597 meters is attacking in the direction of Blue Star. ”

Luo Feng's expression was solemn: "Is it the Illuminati?"

"The system is analyzing, and the results take about 12 minutes." Xiao Bing replied.

Looking at the flickering red points of light on the star map, Luo Feng immediately decided: "All of them have it, first-level alert." ”

"Roger."

"Wei Qing, contact the Space Force Command immediately."

"Yes." Correspondent Wu Weiqing began to contact the Space Force Command in western Australia.

And Luo Feng quickly notified the "Wei Qinghao" and "Li Guanghao".

For a time, the entire outer space was tense, and even the Phoenix satellite system directly entered the standby state.

12 minutes later.

"Captain, there is no trace of artificial modification of the orbit on the asteroid 1753106 for the time being, judging from the results of supercomputing analysis, it will meet with the 16,000-kilometer orbit of the Blue Star in 16 days, and then move away from the Blue Star." Xiao Bing reported the results to Luo Feng.

A false alarm? Luo Feng looked at the predicted track, and then lifted the first-level alert state.

In fact, this situation has been more than once, and it is very normal for miscalculations to occur, but the new humans will not let their guard down, and no one can be sure that there is no Illuminati behind the scenes.

……

Moon.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Powell squinted and thought, and after a while, he asked the head of the lunar research and development department: "How is our anti-high gamma ray material developed?"

The head of the R&D department replied: "Commander Powell, the best gamma-ray composite material No. 15 at the moment, only blocks 16.6%, diverges 27.9%, and the remaining 55.5% cannot be blocked. ”

Powell hurriedly asked: "If you increase the thickness, can you increase the blocking rate?"

"Commander Powell, this is a 10-meter thick barrier." The head of the R&D department replied embarrassedly.

10 meters thick? Apparently this thickness frightened Powell, and his brow furrowed.

"And if the opponent attacks the same location multiple times, it will cause the effect of the barrier layer to weaken, and the production volume of this material is not ideal." The more the person in charge of the R&D department talked, the more unconfident he became.

After thinking about it for a while, Powell opened his mouth to ask about some other situations, and after listening to the explanation of the head of the R&D department, he had to temporarily give up the idea of gamma ray blocking materials.

If the blocking effect is only to this extent, it would take a thickness of 50 meters to block most of the gamma rays, and now their lunar headquarters will not be able to produce so much barrier material even if they go all out.

Even if there are so many materials to create a barrier layer, it is still a turtle shell that cannot move, and can only be beaten passively.

The thickness of 50 meters is obviously not suitable for use as spaceship armor, without a spaceship, and there is no weapon enough to destroy the Phoenix satellite in an instant, the Illuminati are also very helpless.

Powell instructed: "Let the scientific researchers evacuate the lunar headquarters to the second main base as soon as possible, and we can keep the clone soldiers on our side." ”

“OK。”

After staring at the blue star for a while, Powell looked at the asteroid coming from the distant void and ordered something to the Lunar Defense Command.

……

July 26th.

It has been 10 days since the small one entered the orbital area of the blue star.

For the past 10 days, the New Human Army has been watching the trajectory of the most asteroid.

Huo Qu was sick, and suddenly the alarm bell rang out.

"Report, emergency!"

Luo Feng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"The orbit of that asteroid suddenly changed."

Luo Feng's expression changed greatly: "What? What's going on? Why did it suddenly change track?"

Monitor Xiao Bing said hurriedly: "11 minutes ago, a black asteroid with a diameter of 23 meters collided with a tracking asteroid, and I suspect that it is a metal asteroid. ”

"Damn! Such a coincidence?" Luo Feng said with a gaze in his eyes.

Others thought about it, and it was very doubtful that metallic asteroids were generally reddish in color, rocky asteroids were grayish-white, and carbonaceous asteroids were blackish-gray.

A black metal asteroid "happened" to hit a large asteroid, and it "just happened" to crash into a blue star in the orbit of a large asteroid.

Say that there is no problem inside, and no one will believe it.

Luo Feng ordered the fleet to raise its alert, and on the other hand, reported to the Space Force Command.

The Huo Qu Sick spacecraft started the nuclear fusion direct injection engine, increasing the speed to 15 kilometers per second, and rushed directly towards the direction of the asteroid.

The New Human, the Supreme Will, after obtaining relevant intelligence information, came to the final conclusion that the Illuminati would test the New Human.

The members of the four committees held an emergency meeting to discuss how to resolve the matter.

Obviously, the Illuminati have become a little impatient, and want to test the bottom line of the new human race and the means to fight the asteroid.

Zhang Siping, the chairman of the War Committee, asked the others solemnly: "If we succeed in stopping this asteroid, the Illuminati may be desperate. ”

"Then let's fight!" Huang Mingzhe said calmly.

After weighing the pros and cons, the others also felt that there was no need to hesitate, and instead of waiting for the other party to do it, it was better to do it.

War is on the verge of breaking out.
