Chapter Twenty-Six: News from Jupiter
More people had gathered in the wheelhouse of the bow of the New Life than before, and almost the entire ship had gathered here, everyone with solemn faces and looking at the display screen in front of them without saying a word. A massive cube resembling a continental plate floats in the center of the screen, and through the porthole they can see a smaller cube attached to the side of the Azure Planet.
As early as a week ago, the fleet had detected a strange signal in the direction of the earth, and all of them had seen this mysterious cube, but when they actually saw it with their own eyes, they could feel this pure sense of awe, from the unreachable advanced civilization, the contempt of the gods.
The new nascent tried to send a small reconnaissance satellite to detect the mysterious cubes, but as soon as they got close to them, they immediately failed, they observed the cubes closely during this time, and found that the same is true for the satellites around the Earth's low earth orbit, as long as they touch the cube, they will fall into it and mysteriously disappear, and never appear again, as if there is a small black hole in it, devouring and destroying everything that comes into contact with it.
Just now, they used the most cutting-edge weapon being tested, the high-speed particle spear, to shoot at the mysterious cube, and the high-energy particles accelerated to the limit in the ring accelerator hit the target, but it didn't have any effect, and there was not even a trace of destruction on the mysterious cube.
Everyone fell silent, and as soon as they got the news of the loss of contact with the earth, they quickly came, from the initial ambition to the current powerlessness, their mentality changed dramatically in just a few days.
Each of them is the best of the best, especially the one who can board the New Life, the best soldiers, pilots, scientists, and engineers on the planet, and from the day they set foot on this space carrier, everyone has more or less imagined the scene of flying this spaceship and fighting alien armies.
However, I didn't expect that the first battle between humans and aliens ended quietly, just like that particle beam, silently disappearing into the void.
"Captain! The reconnaissance spacecraft has lost signal again and is recalibrating the coordinates of the target. A driver reported.
"Do you have any other proposals?" Captain Murong Nan, who was sitting at the front of the wheelhouse, raised his head and said, his gaze swept over everyone present, they were either dazed, or firm, or sad and angry, but they were not the kind of eyes he wanted, he knew that this time they encountered an unsolvable ** annoyance.
"Maybe we can connect with the moon ......," said one young astronaut, "and we need their support now, and humanity has to go hand in hand and unite to get through this." β
"I've blocked the communications of the lunar government." The captain rubbed the bridge of his nose and said with a headache: "The ambition of the chief executive of the moon Minsk wolf son has long given up on rescuing the earth, we eavesdropped on the communication broadcast of the moon, they have now entered a state of coup d'Γ©tat, the people of the earth faction are lonely, and sooner or later they will be cleaned up by the people of Minsk, a bunch of bastards!" Think about your own interests at this time! β
After he finished speaking, the people below were shocked, they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen on the moon, originally there was a gloomy cloud in the fleet, and the atmosphere became even more depressed after learning about the situation on the moon, just when everyone was at a loss, suddenly an unexpected message broke their silence.
This is the news from Ganymethan, that energy planet full of methane gas has a giant space station built by humans, the Ganymede space station is the largest space station ever built by mankind, and after its completion, it has been expanded more than a dozen times using materials from Callisto, and now it is said to be a space station, which is more like a space city.
The inhabitants there are the most space-based people, there are 200,000 people in the development so far, they have multiplied in the space city for three generations, they have long adapted to space life, away from the sun, they can only use small fusion furnaces instead of the sun, the entire space city has been transformed into a cylindrical shape, everyone lives on the inner wall of the cylinder, and the outermost area is an industrial area and an energy production station, unlike the moon that also uses environmental modification to ensure food sources, the space city of Ganymede is completely free from the shackles of traditional agriculture, as an isolated island hanging in spaceCircular ecology is their only option, and all people eat the synthetic food produced in the carbon recycling system, and the metabolites are completely returned to the cycle with the municipal sewage, including their bodies after death. It may seem unreasonable to the earthlings, but in their eyes it is a noble honor, the abundant methane gas on Ganymede burns and regenerates a large amount of carbon, which can be used to supplement the lack of the circulatory system, from the point of view of thought, culture, and concept, the residents of the space city have been very different from the earthlings, and it is precisely in this way that they have entered a high degree of autonomy, and the earth government has not been able to govern them.
"This is Murong Nan, the Supreme Commander of the New Life, and I am lucky to be able to get in touch with you at a critical moment."
"Hello, Mr. Commander, this is Alexios, the supreme head of Shine City, we are also lucky that you have not lost contact, and as the only remaining human fire, you need to know that Calmede Space City has declared independence yesterday, we are no longer a colony, we use Shine City as a name, and we will draw a line with the humans of Earth from now on." A voice with a thick accent came from the communicator, his English was indistinct, and the captain had to be very attentive to hear what he was saying, it was not the accent of any place, it was just the accent of Space City, and in a few more generations, they would probably derive their own language.
"What do you mean? Are you going to rebel at this time? The captain frowned.
"Zizizi, what you said is too ugly, Mr. Commander, we just made a decision that should have been made a long time ago, I am no longer slaved by the Earth government, we are an independent individual, and Mars 1, Mars 2, the Rover giant space station, and more than fifty space stations scattered in the solar system have all decided to unite with us." Alexios made a playful taunt, he wasn't deliberating, he was just informing.
"How can this be ......" The captain felt dizzy, when they left the spaceport, the commander-in-chief of Mars 1 was still a firm rescuer, but he didn't expect that as soon as he left with his front foot, the other party's back foot changed his position.
