Chapter 346: News from Earth
After receiving the post-disaster feedback and distress signal from the Fifth Space City Group, the 1st, 3rd, and 10th Falcon Escort Fleets sailed continuously for another 7 months and finally arrived at the location of the Fifth Space City Group. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At the same time, the second, sixth, eighth, and ninth Falcon convoys, and the 30th-50th deep space resource development fleets continued to fly at full speed to the solar system.
Under the great pressure of survival, the Fifth Space City Group is still trying its best to carry out post-disaster self-rescue work. A large number of casualties, 62% of the structural units of space cities have been damaged, the protection of the convoy has been lost, and the stable resource replenishment of the deep space resource development fleet, and the balance of closed ecosystems in most space cities has been broken, all of which will become the shackles that will bind space cities to continue interstellar travel.
Thankfully, they were able to reconnect with the interstellar settlers, reinvigorating the surviving population's confidence to overcome the odds.
A month and a half after the first, third, and tenth Falcon frigates arrived in the Fifth Space City, the command ship joint fleet led by Yuan Chen, as well as 500 Falcon frigates drawn from the Fourth Space City, and fifteen deep space resource development fleets also arrived one after another.
Under Yuan Chen's orders, 500 frigates will continue to fly forward to the solar system, and the fifteen deep space resource development fleets will stay behind to help the Fifth Space City Group carry out post-disaster reconstruction work.
This time, the team leader greeted Yuan Haochen and others was Zheng Yaqiong, deputy commander of the Fifth Space City Group, she is a senior commander of Chinese nationality, a rare capable strong woman in the federal government, in her early forties, tall, and slightly fat.
"Hello Commander-in-Chief, I'm sorry, our commander just died last month, so ......"
Zheng Yaqiong, deputy commander of the Space City Group, was the first to explain.
"I've heard that your commander is heroic in this crisis!" Yuan Haochen waved his hand and said regretfully, "Human civilization will definitely remember every person who has contributed to the job, he is a well-deserved hero!" ā
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" Zheng Yaqiong replied.
"Take me to see what happened in the aftermath of the disaster in Space City."
"Yes!"
So, under the leadership of Zheng Yaqiong and other officials, Yuan spent a whole week carefully understanding the current situation of the Fifth Space City Group, inspecting the damaged core components, and visiting the injured and sick.
"The situation of the Fifth Space City Group is more serious than I thought!" Yuan said to a group of key officials, "I understand your efforts in the past few years, but I hope you can do more!" ā
"We'll do our best!!" The crowd replied.
"How is the deep space resource development fleet, which originally belonged to the Fifth Space City Group, preserved now?" Yuan Haochen continued to ask.
"The original 32 deep space resource development fleets were destroyed by a total of 89%, and after the reorganization, only 4 fleets remained." Zheng Yaqiong, deputy commander of the Space City Group, replied, "Among the damaged fleets, in another year, it is expected that there will be six fleets that can be repaired and reorganized." ā
"Okay, counting the 15 fleets drawn by the Fourth Space City Group, there will be a total of 25 deep space resource development fleets." "This place is located on the edge of the Oort Cloud, and compared to the empty space environment, it is barely a good place to recuperate. I'll give you another 3 years to finish the Fifth Space City Group as soon as possible, and then return to the solar system as quickly as possible! ā
"Resolutely complete the mission!!" The crowd replied firmly.
Yuan Haochen knows very well that in three years, in this vast universe, with the sharp decline in human resources and a large number of injured and sick people to take care of, it is really a difficult task to complete the repair of 62% of the damaged space city structural units, and to re-establish a complete and stable closed ecosystem and life support system. However, now that the rescue work is short of time, there is not much to worry about, and everyone must rush forward with full strength.
......
Bidding farewell to the Fifth Space City Group, Yuan Haochen continued to embark on the journey to the solar system.
The 500 Falcon frigates that were originally part of the Fourth Space City Group and the command ship frigate fleet (more than 100 ships) to which Hara Haochen belonged were reorganized to form a new command ship joint fleet.
At this time, the command ship Combined Fleet is 1.19 light-years away from Earth, while the second, sixth, eighth, and ninth Falcon frigates, and the 30th-50th Deep Space Resource Development Fleets are still 1.03 light-years away from Earth.
As a result, excluding the space units remaining in the Fifth Space City Group, a total of 1,500 frigates and 3,000 deep space resource development spaceships are heading towards the solar system at a maximum speed of nearly 0.9 times the speed of light, heading towards the Earth.
At this time, the command ship Combined Fleet was just entering the very edge of the Oort Cloud.
The Oort Cloud is a spherical cloud of inactive comets that surrounds the solar system, about 50,000 to 100,000 AU from the Sun, with a maximum radius of almost one light-year.
It will take several months for the command ship Combined Fleet to pass through the Oort Cloud, and looking out of the porthole, Yuan Haochen couldn't help but remember that this attachment was the location of the wandering small celestial body where the 37th Deep Space Resource Development Fleet B Team discovered the existence of the remains of an unknown cosmic civilization.
"Traces left by the civilization of the unknown universe......" Yuan Haochen whispered to himself.
"Who is this unknown cosmic civilization that has been to the edge of the solar system, or even the solar system?"
"Are they the Creator? When did they come? ā
That lingering layer of worry once again faintly surfaced in Yuan Haochen's heart......
Just when Yuan Haochen was deep in thought, suddenly, a rush of footsteps ran towards him.
"Commander-in-chief, I've got the news! We've got the message! ā
A young scientist excitedly reported to Yuan Haochen.
"What's the news?" Yuan Haochen came back to his senses and asked.
"News from Earth!!"
The young scientist trotted all the way, and he didn't slow down yet.
"News from Earth! What happened to the planet? Yuan Haochen asked.
"Earth, Earth ......"
"Show me!"
The young scientist was halfway out of breath when he was interrupted by Yuan Chen.
"Good! Commander-in-Chief! ā
The young scientist hurriedly handed over the information.
Yuan Haochen opened the message, and his brows immediately furrowed.
There are many casualties!!
It can be said that the ill-fated Earth won the lottery. The 52.1% area of the Earth hit head-on by gamma-ray bursts is precisely the densest area of the [Geocentric City]. Of the nearly 3,000 [geocentric cities], it is estimated that less than 1,000 will survive in the end.
This means that, in addition to the 4 billion people who remained on the surface, more than 2 billion people in the underground city were killed in this attack......
