Strictly speaking, the Starport Upper Station is a giant geostationary orbit space station with dozens of berths.

But when the area control ship appeared in orbit near the Sixth Star Port, this originally huge space station turned out to be as small as a mouse next to the giant.

At this time, if the weather is good, the inhabitants of the eastern hemisphere of Fort Augustus will probably see this behemoth that night - of course, from the ground, it is just a bright star that suddenly appears in the sky.

The "Deep Space Lord" class area control ship, with a diameter of nearly 16 kilometers and a thickness of 2.5 kilometers, can accommodate almost five million people to live and live.

(PS: For those who have no concept of this size, you can imagine that it is roughly equivalent to the feeling of moving the entire space within Beijing's Fourth Ring Road to space.) ）

Aside from the stargate, which is built on the ruins of previous civilizations, this is the largest space structure that can be built with the current level of human technology.

Strictly speaking, it should not be called a starship, but more like a three-dimensional city floating in space, and almost every "area control ship" is the core of a huge fleet.

There has never been a record in the history of mankind in which a zone control ship has been destroyed in battle.

It is precisely because of this huge size that it is difficult for the hegemon of this kind of starship to appear in the airspace near the administrative star, but only to cruise in deep space.

Therefore, when this behemoth suddenly jumped near the geostationary orbit, the people in the starport and the surrounding news ships really realized what a shocking visual effect it would bring to watching such a giant ship so closely.

Soon, a photographer on a news boat recorded the moment with a stunning panoramic photo.

Hundreds of media outlets in Fort Augustus immediately reprinted the photos and sent them to the Pan-Union Internet.

In this photo, the entire field of view is divided by two objects: the arc of the planetary horizon of Fort Augustus below, the massive metal chassis of the regional control ship above, and between the two sections, the abyss-like depths of space, and the glow of a rising star radiating from a corner of the horizon.

Later, the photo was selected as the best news photo of the year's Webster News Awards.

But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the crowd in Starport.

After the initial shock and commotion, these Baishan members, who chose to continue to follow Han Jianfei, quickly quieted down, and they have realized that this is their boss once again flexing his muscles without a low profile.

After anchoring the orbital position, the area control ship began to emit sporadic points of light, which soon converged into a river and flew towards the starport.

It was nearly a hundred traffic boats, and due to the large size, it was unlikely that the area control ship would directly dock with the starport, so it could only use the traffic boat to greet the members on the starport.

When the first traffic boat docked in the starport mooring area, the fat Sun Zi, who seemed to have a greasy forehead on his forehead, jumped out of it, trotted all the way to Han Jianfei, bowed to him respectfully, held the starship key in both hands, and handed it to Gen Zhizi: "It's finally time to catch up, please take back the key from sister-in-law." ”

Genchiko glanced at the man next to him, saw him nodding, and then took the good-looking "jewelry" and hung it on his chest.

According to the location in the key, the giant ship was moored in the construction base located on the fifth planet of the capital star circle, and it only took five days to run a round trip between the second planet Augustusburg and the fifth planet, even if the area control ship itself had an ultra-long-distance reflex engine, it would be enough to catch up.

Han Jianfei smiled slightly: "It's hard work." ”

For a military organization, the transfer of six or seven thousand people does not seem to be a particularly difficult thing, and after confirming that all the members have boarded the area control ship through the traffic boat, Han Jianfei, Gen Zhizi, and Mrs. Crawford, who is holding a blue cat, only got on the traffic boat that Sun wiped away and flew to the area control ship.

The transport boat flew all the way through the busy docking dock, directly into a secret passage leading to the bridge, and stopped outside the command cabin at the core of the ship.

Han Jianfei walked into the bridge, and the more than 50 control personnel who were working inside all stood up and saluted, although the area control ship was huge, the navigation and operation of the entire starship were controlled by more than 50 people here.

Han Jianfei waved his hand, sat down in the captain's seat, and asked casually, "What is the name of this ship?" ”

Sun Wei shook his head: "The shipyard over there of the Feng family said that it hasn't been named yet. ”

Han Jianfei nodded: "Call it the 'Ark of Death', don't they like to call me the spokesperson of death?" ”

The fat man thought that the name was a bit vulgar, but Genchiko liked it very much, so the code name of the starship was so happily decided.

According to the Soyuz Fleet's standard operating specifications, the Area Control Ship is a supership of the Union Fleet's flagship class, requiring at least 105,400 crew members or robots of various types if it can maintain the minimum stable operation of all of its systems.

When giving this starship, the old president seemed to have considered that it was impossible for Han Jianfei to have so many people, so he left tens of thousands of robots with various functions on the starship, barely able to ensure that the ship could be driven.

As for the battle, it seems to be too reluctant.

"Boss," said the fat man, "everyone is waiting for your orders." ”

Han Jianfei thought seriously for a while, and said, "Assign everyone who boarded the ship to combat posts as quickly as possible, we don't have much time to get familiar with this ship." ”

After speaking, he looked at the crew brought out by the fat man on the bridge, some familiar, some unfamiliar, but looking at the style and color of their uniforms, they could cover almost all the functions of the navigation of the control ship in the entire area.

"Time may be too late, let's get familiar with it while walking, don't take the Star Gate route, let's rush to the New Luo Song Star Circle as fast as possible! On arrival, I asked to make sure every post was ready for battle! ”

His urgency was not unreasonable.

At a meeting with a coffee meeting, Chen Mingyuan once said that even if the alliance did not want to fight this war, he would do it.

These days, he has surprisingly not interfered with his own efforts to recruit or plot against the members of the White Mountain Company, so there is only one possibility left.

Chen Mingyuan planned to take advantage of his absence in Sillasong to attack his rear with lightning, and take advantage of the unstable foothold after the coup d'état to take over his rear in one fell swoop before he returned home.

There are many options in front of Chen Mingyuan, and he has chosen political means, beheading operations, and heavy profit buying.

Unfortunately, these methods failed, and Han Jianfei was as tough as a stubborn stone.

Then, there is only one option in front of him: "war".

In front of the multiple-choice question given by fate, Chen Mingyuan did not hesitate to press the button that said this option.

He was the chief of the general staff of the coalition fleet, and Han Jianfei believed that he had the mobilization and preparation.

So, he had to rush back as fast as he could.

Thinking about it, President Feng should have foreseen this possibility earlier, so he made up his mind to give the "Ark of Death" to himself.

If Chen Mingyuan wins a decisive victory, it seems to be even more detrimental to the interests of him and the big chaebols behind him.

Due to the huge gravitational pull of the planet, which would seriously interfere with the refrillation engine, the huge starship had to use the gravitational slingshot effect of Fort Augustus to get rid of the influence of the planet and the surrounding stars after the continuous orbit change, and only successfully started the reflex engine after the second day of time on the ship.

At the same time that the Ark of Death successfully started the jump engine, the long-range early warning radar of the local fleet base of Silla Matsueichi suddenly detected a large-scale mass collapse information.

Judging from the radar readings, it should be at least 100 starships of more than 100,000 tons, which jumped into the airspace near the Hermes stargate almost at the same time.

Without waiting for the results of the data analysis, the new fleet commander, Lieutenant Colonel Carter, who had been on high alert – no, should have been Colonel Carter – immediately understood what was happening.

So, he sounded the alarm for the best level of war - it was the Alliance fleet, at least a hundred Alliance starships of various types, trying to break through the already blocked stargate.

Two months after the official declaration of Silasson's autonomy, the coalition fleet launched an attack on Sillasong by forcibly turning over two fully formed fleets.

War, real war, finally broke out in Sillasson!

Colonel Carter had only an incomplete local fleet at his disposal, but he was facing a formidable enemy twice as numerous as himself, well-trained, and superior in single-ship combat effectiveness.

After determining the news of the attack of the alliance fleet, Carter immediately ordered all the starships of the Sinroson local fleet that could participate in the battle to take to the air and face the menacing enemy.

At the same time, he dialed the phone number of Mavis Shetton, the ground controller of the new Luo Song.

"The coalition fleet is coming." There was no greeting, no panic, he said calmly, "The battleship is twice as large as ours, and the actual combat strength may be three times, and I am preparing to meet it." ”

"Don't confront them head-on," Mavis replied after a brief conversation with the advisors around her, "we can't risk losing our entire fleet, can you hold them back for a few days?" ”

Carter shook his head: "If they escape, they will soon be able to control the stargate, I am afraid that more enemies will be snapped over, and we will not be able to bear it anymore." ”

Mavis thought for a while, and when Carter was waiting a little anxiously, she spoke: "There will be no more enemies, I just received the news that the alliance has signed a peace agreement with New Rasong, and this fleet should not have official authorization from the alliance." Please carry out the final order of the group: to divide the enemy's fleet as much as possible, but to avoid the loss of starships as much as possible, we must hold out long enough. ”

Carter was silent for a moment and said, "How long?" What losses can we accept? ”

Mayvis reconfirmed with the advisors around her and said, "Hold on until Han Jianfei returns, my request is to keep at least half of the fleet, and if necessary, you can sacrifice the fleet base on Wei Yi, and even let the enemy land on the planet." ”

Kart nodded, but still had some doubts: "In this case, we may be very passive. ”

Mayvis barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "Our enemies too, they want us to use all our strength to fight them so that we can solve us once and for all, but the more time passes, the more unfavorable it is for them, they are just a lone army, and we have the whole planet!" ”

"So," Mervis continued, "the new rossa pine is going to be a quagmire, and the foot in which they step is firmly trapped!" ”
