Chapter 358: Lunary-class space carrier
After the meeting of the coalition government, Jolu returned to the Ark. At this time, the Ark was also returning home, but in order to avoid exposing the location of the Wandering Earth, the Ark was not preparing to return to the Wandering Earth, but was about to return to the crescent moon that had separated from the orbit of the Wandering Earth.
In order to prevent the Wandering Earth from being invaded again, the coalition government decided to use the crescent moon as its main base of operations in this plane.
Then, even if it is attacked again by a large-scale enemy attack later, the coalition government will be able to minimize its losses, no longer have to worry about civilian casualties, and at the same time be better able to concentrate its forces to defend its positions.
Because of this, the new moon has also detached itself from the orbit of the wandering Earth and masqueraded as an independent planet to carry out operations.
Of course, the Crescent Base still maintains close ties with the Wandering Earth, and can complete the delivery of supplies and personnel through planetary engine teleportation towers.
The Ark landed on the crescent moon and completed the supply and personnel replacement at the crescent base.
The eyes of all the survivors widened at the sight of the magnificent planetary engines on the new moon, even in Keha, the capital of the Tyranid Empire, who had never seen such a stunning industrial spectacle.
Especially when they discovered that the planetary engine was propelling the entire planet, the shock was indescribable.
It's not so much a planet as a moving spacefortress, a moon-like ship.
"Oh my God, is this your planet?"
Madison, the representative of the survivors, asked in surprise that they had never thought of using the entire planet as a space base.
Qiao Lu nodded nondeniably, this was part of the plan.
At this time, the new moon is heading towards the abandoned mining site that the survivors have previously mentioned, because instead of sending the space engineering team to the 10,000-year-old Blizzard, it has made several trips back and forth to bring back energy crystals and high-energy gas.
It's better to drive the new moon directly, just like mining superconducting ore in Pandora, it is more convenient to transfer all the minerals to the new moon and bring them back in one go.
This is the time for this lunar-class starcarrier, which no starship can match in terms of cargo capacity.
Qiao Lu asked the survivors to stay on the Ark first, after all, there was no way to ensure that they would not carry the mutated virus of the Zerg or even the eggs were not detected, and they must be cautious at this point, the invasion of the Zerg can be described as pervasive.
He then said to Madison, "Now we need you to do one thing, continue to contact Jim Reno's Rangers and tell them everything that is happening on Antura. You've sent them distress signals before, and you should be able to reach them now. ”
Madison asked rhetorically, "I'm secretly in touch with the Rangers, but what are you looking for them?" Now that we're out of danger, there's no reason for them to come to their rescue. ”
"You just said that I want to cooperate with them, whether it is to overthrow the Tyranid Empire or resist the Zerg invasion, it is not something that we can do with our own strength now. One more friend is better than one enemy, sincerity or something, you can let Renault judge it himself. ”
Judging from the previous hint of completing the protocol mission, the fact that Jolu rescued all the survivors on the planet Antura should have an impact on the prestige of the Rangers, in that case, there is no need to worry about Jim Renault not coming.
Madison looked at Qiao Lu's face seriously, and finally sighed, "Okay, after all, I still owe you a favor." To tell you the truth, I'm actually an underground intelligence agent of the Rangers, but I didn't expect that I didn't plant it in the hands of the Imperial Army, but I almost became food for insects. ”
Madison's confession immediately made Jolly why completing this agreement mission would increase the prestige of the Rangers, and since he was one of the Rangers, he was more sure to contact Jim Renault.
"Please." Qiao Lu nodded and said.
At this point, the crescent has come over the asteroid that is an abandoned mining site, and the good news is that there is indeed a bare vein of energy crystals and high-energy gas vents.
The bad news is that this area has been occupied by the Zerg first, and a large number of worker bees can be seen mining the vein, and there are also Zerg troops guarding the vein.
Qiao Lu also saw this scene from the Ark, and it seems that if he wants to recapture this place, he will inevitably fight with the insects here.
"The cleanup of the Golden Fleet is really not thorough enough."
Qiao Lu couldn't help but complain, if you really want to completely eliminate the alien insects in a galaxy, it is not enough to burn a planet, it is better to learn the three-body problem, destroy the entire star with light particles, or even throw a piece of two-way foil down, then it is called a clean one.
However, the technology of the Star Spirit has not yet reached this level, and even if it has reached it, it has been lost in the Eternal Catastrophe.
That's right, just like the Cybertron civilization, the Astral is a civilization that has gone through a long civil war, but it hasn't declined to the extent of Cybertron.
In any case, now the Zerg on this asteroid will have to be solved by the wandering earth.
Luckily, the asteroid's nest had apparently only just been established, and not even the spore batteries for air defense had not hatched much, so there was no need to explain what was going to happen next.
Since there used to be an Earth face ride, now is the time for the Moon to ride a face!
Driven by planetary engines, a huge crescent moon gradually looms over the mining station, a sight similar to the appearance of Jupiter in the sky above the wandering Earth.
The Zerg troops on the asteroid thought that something was blocking the sun, but when they looked up, they found that it was a planet with a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers and a surface full of military facilities covering the entire sky, and the asteroid they were on was less than one percent of its size!
Unlike the Wandering Earth, the Crescent Base is built entirely according to the standards of the planet's orbital defense platform, so the entire planet can be described as armed to the teeth, and it is full of missile reflection silos and orbital defense cannons.
When close enough, these defensive weapons can also be used for ground bombardment, or at all, they should no longer be called "defensive" weapons.
"Fusion strike detected in transit!"
"Fusion strike detected in transit!"
"Fusion strike detected in transit!"
······
In an instant, countless fusion strike warnings sounded inside the hive, and at the same time, dense red dots were displayed on the map, almost all over the fungus carpet, and even every corner of the asteroid.
Now Qiao Lu is worried: "Don't blow up the entire asteroid, it's very troublesome to recover." ”
