Chapter 724: On the eve of the decisive battle
After passing through the pillars of light of the planetary engine transmission tower, Qiao Lu's anti-gravity boat descended into space, and was greeted by a satellite armed to the teeth like a death star, floating in the Earth's orbit.
"Crescent base." Qiao Lu muttered to himself.
Although the Crescent Moon Base has changed to the point where it is almost impossible to see its original appearance, judging from the super laser cannon on the surface and the size of the planet, it can still be distinguished that it is the original Eye of Geherros.
"Well, it's the Coalition Government's Earth Defense Headquarters now." Ding Yi said.
The anti-gravity boat docked on the surface of the crescent moon base, and Qiao Lu was surprised to find that there was actually an atmosphere here, and he could breathe directly, no longer relying on breathing masks like before.
And it seems to be more prosperous than the earth, with tall urban buildings as far as the eye can see, and integrated vertical buildings that can often reach tens of thousands of meters in height to maximize the population density of the surface area.
A dense flow of people surged between the branches of the urban forest, and anti-gravity boats flowed in mid-air, seemingly busy and crowded, but orderly.
Completely different from the earth, which reduces the urban coverage to protect the ecological environment, the surface of the crescent base is completely at the other extreme, all of which are covered by urban facilities, which can be said to merge the world into one city and build a city for the world.
Qiao Lu suspected that it would not be a problem to move all the billions of people on the entire planet here, and this giant city covering the entire surface of the planet would definitely be able to accommodate it, probably which is why humans live on the earth and work in cities like this.
"Is it the ideal city plan, and you have also achieved this?"
Qiao Lu immediately remembered this option that appeared a long time ago, but he didn't choose it at the beginning. Now that it has been inherited by the technology of the previous human civilization, this plan has of course also fallen into the hands of the wandering earth humans.
Ding Yi replied: "Yes, the ideal city was just an idea in our time, and now it has completely become a reality. We have enough resources to feed such a city, or such a planet. ”
Qiao Lu once hesitated whether he would sacrifice too many things to transform the Wandering Earth into an ideal city, but he didn't expect that the first thing to build the ideal city would be the crescent moon base closest to the earth.
Building such a city covering the entire planet on the closest satellite to the Earth will undoubtedly give everyone who likes rural life and a bustling city a place.
"The Central Academy of Sciences has also moved here, after all, it is easy to do things in places with a lot of people."
At this time, Qiao Lu found many fast-moving stars in the stars, their movements were easily visible against the background of the stationary starry sky, and those things must be in the Earth's orbit.
If you look closely, you can see the shapes of quite a few of them, including rings, cylindrical shapes, and irregular bodies formed by the combination of multiple shapes, like exquisite trinkets in the dark space.
"That's Baoshan Iron and Steel Company," Ding Yi said, pointing to a glowing ring, and then pointing to several other bright spots, "Those are all industrial facilities that have been transferred to space, I should have told you on the ground." ”
Every highlight is a huge space city with huge industrial equipment running.
Today's Wandering Earth has obviously become three parts, the Earth as a living area, the Ideal City as a metropolitan area, and the numerous Space City as an industrial area, where people flow between the three areas to maintain the normal operation of everything.
Of course, this form is much better than back then, before Qiao Lu entered hibernation, the scientific and technological development of the wandering earth was mainly applied to the military, and it had not yet reached the stage of popularizing civilian use.
Now that technology has completely changed the way of life of human beings, it is only natural that we will go further than we did back then.
"It's a good time." Qiao Lu commented, "I used to have to keep moving forward to survive, but now I can finally improve my life." ”
Before Ding Yi could respond, an unfamiliar voice came from the side:
"It's great that you think so."
Qiao Lu turned his head, and there was a man in a military uniform walking in front of him, and there was a group of soldiers around him as guards.
Ding Yi took the lead and said: "Let me introduce Lin Wen, the current permanent director of the coalition government. It was he who told me about what happened during the Great Rebellion, and then I went down to you. ”
This is actually telling Qiao Lu that the reason why he visited is actually the arrangement of the coalition government, which made Qiao Lu wake up in this era.
"Hello, Director Qiao Lu, I've really admired the name for a long time." Lin Wen stepped forward respectfully and said, "I heard your story when I was a child, and now I can finally meet me. ”
From the other party's words, Qiao Lu could feel sincerity, and it seemed that his impression in human society had indeed been corrected.
Qiao Lu shook hands with Lin Wen and said, "You don't need to call me a director, and now I am not in this position." I didn't expect the coalition government to survive until now. For 2,500 years, I thought there would have been a change of dynasty long ago. ”
Ding Yi said embarrassedly on the side: "Well, in fact, the dynasty has changed a long time ago." I've been through more than one form of government during so many hibernation awakenings. Today's coalition governments were reorganized after the Great Rebellion 200 years ago, which is different from our time. ”
"But no matter what, our beliefs are the same." Lin Wen added, "I hope that the unfinished business can be completed by us." ”
Seeing his serious appearance, Qiao Lu finally asked the crucial question: "Are you ready to start a decisive battle with the Zeroers?" ”
In the final analysis, this is Qiao Lu's final mission, whether he wants to go back to hibernate or go to the battlefield of the final battle.
Judging from the way of life of human beings today, the Wandering Earth has indeed made great scientific and technological progress, but whether this can be compared with the Zero, Qiao Lu is still not confident.
From the perspective of civilian technology alone, of course, it is still far from enough. However, of course, it is impossible for such a technology as a cosmic law weapon to be popularized for civilian use, so only the top level of the coalition government knows how well all this is prepared.
Lin Wen first fell into a short silence, and only after a while did he speak:
"It's not that we want to go to war, it's that humanity has developed to the point where Zeroes can't sit idly by. I think they must have realized that we have inherited the inheritance of pre-human civilizations, otherwise it would not have been possible to master the technology of today. ”
Sure enough, the initiative to start the war in the end is not in the hands of human beings, and the final decisive battle is not whether to fight or not, but the time has come when it has to be fought!
