"The probe has just sent back an update on the situation in Space City, and a few people have already responded to the signals of the rescue fleet. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Really?" Zhou Xin walked into the command module and looked towards the screen, and the picture that appeared on the screen was taken by the probe on the periphery of Space City. In the picture, the most ambitious is the continuous space complex, the camera of the probe can't even fit them completely, and in the corner of the screen, three spaceships are quietly parked there. They look as small as ants compared to the sprawling Space City, but few people know that these ships are the real place to come alive compared to the lifeless Space City.

At the same time as Zhou Xin looked at the screen, a faint point of light flew out from between the space buildings whose lights had long been extinguished, and looking at the flight direction of the light point, it was undoubtedly flying towards the three spaceships.

"Is it moving so fast?" Looking at that point of light, Zhou Xin immediately guessed what it was, and he muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, it's our old acquaintances in this ship." Spred also saw the point of light, and he said with a smile.

"Old acquaintances?" Zhou Xin was slightly stunned, and then he reacted, he said clearly, "It's Prom and them, I remember that he was just in a wait-and-see state yesterday, what prompted him to make a decision so quickly." ”

"One thing we all overlooked in our previous discussions is the mental state of the survivors in Space City." Spred's tone was a little heavy, "Just last night, the first person to commit suicide in despair of the rest of his life appeared, and this person happened to be the one on the Prom spaceship. His body was only found in the morning, along with a suicide note that the man had left on the table. ”

After listening to Spred's description, Zhou Xin was silent for a moment, and after a while, he sighed, "It's really unpredictable." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Spred sighed similarly, "And that Prom didn't take long to make the decision to accept aid after learning the news." At the same time, he was the first to respond to the aid fleet. ”

"What about the others but them?" As he spoke, Zhou Xin enlarged the picture on the screen, although he couldn't see the specific details clearly due to the distance, Zhou Xin still vaguely saw a small spaceship with a length of only more than thirty meters with the help of the faint light.

After Prom responded, three other groups responded. So far, however, only Prom has made actual moves, and the others who have responded are now on the sidelines, and there are a group of people who have not even begun to prepare to leave. Atlas apparently knew better, she replied.

What about the others who didn't respond? And what is the reaction? Zhou Xin continued to ask.

"The vast majority of people didn't react at all because they didn't even know there was a rescue out there." Atlas's answer surprised Zhou Xin a little, "Those few people who can receive the signal didn't spread the word about it at all, and even the waves of people who responded were secretly behind their backs." Only Prom told everyone the details before he set off, and let them choose to stay for themselves. ”

For everyone's choice, Zhou Xin doesn't care very much. In his opinion, he has fulfilled his obligation to help them, and the choices of each of them are beyond his control. So he asked, "What do the people in that building think of Prom's departure?" ”

"Most of the people who don't know the story are very happy because there are fewer people competing with them for food. But the few who knew the reason were very entangled, and while they envied Prom's departure, they themselves seemed hesitant. The little girl continued.

Zhou Xin was also quite helpless about the hesitation of these people, but he also knew that caution was the common nature of human beings, so he couldn't do more, and could only silently observe the actions of those survivors on the Voyager.

Then, a week passed, and the rescue team left Space City and returned to the satellite base. In the end, only two groups totaling less than 100 people chose to be rescued. Although many people have been in contact with the rescue fleet in the past few days, most of them have given up this opportunity, and they have always held a distrustful attitude towards the rescue fleet from the satellite base. At the same time, they always believed that as long as they held on in the space city for a while, the Ewen Empire would eventually send someone to pick them up. Even the man who had left Plotm early and the news spread throughout the building thought the same thing. For the choice of these people, Zhou Xin felt deep regret, and he knew in his heart that if there was no miracle, then this would probably be the last rescue.

At the same time, a lot happened during those seven days. The first is Aina's awakening, but this time Wren did not judge correctly, after injecting himself with three mixed drugs, the little girl slept for five days before finally waking up. The first thing she said when she woke up was to ask about her father's situation, and after learning that because of her mistake, the large-scale infection on her father's body was finally effectively controlled, Aina immediately cried with joy. After crying for a while, she fell asleep again due to weakness. Of course, Wren still has something to hide from this statement, although the alien's infection symptoms have indeed been controlled, but now his life is still in danger. According to Wren himself, he is only fifty percent sure that the alien's injuries will recover.

In addition, the battle on the planet's surface is ongoing. During these seven days, battles took place almost every day, with each battle lasting around four to six hours. Moreover, in the last few battles, both fleets have begun to come up with different tactics, such as blitzkriegs, sneak attacks, partitions and encirclements, and even the most dangerous lone army going deeper. Although Zhou Xin has long been familiar with these tactics, they are still a little novel when they are placed in space warfare. And, as the battle progressed again and again, the intensity began to escalate, and the battle that was deep in the lone army happened yesterday, and the army of the Ewen Empire rushed straight towards the northern continent after a wave of hedging between the two sides. This action really made Kazlan's side a little unprepared, and although the combat fleet immediately turned around and pursued after discovering the intentions of the Eun fleet, it was undoubtedly too late. In the end, a large number of reserve ships took off on the mainland of the Republic of Kazran, and what is even more strange is that after seeing the reserve ships take off, the Eun fleet did not make contact with this fleet with significantly fewer warships than itself, but drew a graceful arc far away from the mainland, bypassing the two fleets that were flanking them, and returned to their continent safely.

When Zhou Xin was still thinking about their intention to go deep alone, Dart smiled, "This time the Kazlan side has suffered a big loss. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that Dart had already guessed the result, Zhou Xin didn't think much about it anymore, but asked directly.

"I guess the purpose of Ewen this time is not to fight." Dart laughed as he explained, "Their real purpose is probably to test Kazlan's reserves. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xin finally understood completely, and he also smiled, "In this way, Kazlan is really at a loss, but at this time, they can't use reserve forces, if the Ewen fleet sees that there is no reserve fleet in front of them, I'm afraid the feint will really turn into an attack on the mainland." ”

"Eun's fleet is really bold, using the strength of an entire fleet as a bait to test it, aren't you afraid of the total annihilation?" Spred also understood what was going on, and he asked suspiciously.

"It's just that it looks dangerous." Dart replied, "As long as the plan is perfect, in fact, this is much safer than a real battle, don't look at the rear and there is a blockade in front of the pursuers, but you must know that the direction in space is not like on the ground, if you want to completely surround a fleet, it is almost impossible, as long as you want to run, it is basically impossible to be left behind in the case of similar strength." ”

"Indeed." Zhou Xin nodded, "The situation in space is still very different from that on the ground, and many tactics that were originally effective on the ground will not work at all in space, or the price to pay will be too great if you want to do it." For example, two days ago, the Eun fleet tried to divide and encircle the Kazlan fleet, intending to form a local advantage to eliminate the opponent, but in the end, it was not found that even if a dozen warships were encircled, a large number of warships would be needed, and while surrounding, they would also have to bear firepower from the periphery, which was completely more than worth the loss. Then he suddenly realized, "Maybe it's because of this reason that today's thousand-mile raid is possible?" ”

All in all, after watching the battles in the past few days, Zhou Xin and the others have also benefited a lot, and they also have a deeper understanding of the battles between fleets. At the same time, after discussion, they agreed that the two civilizations may have only just come into contact with interstellar warfare, otherwise there would not have been so many experimental tactics.

In addition to these, in this week, the investigation of the underground base on the satellite is also in full swing, after a few days of investigation, Zhou Xin found that this underground base is much larger than expected, and the scope of the probe alone has been investigated has ten floors. And, the further down you go, the larger each layer becomes, and the one the probe is investigating today is almost twice the size of the original layer. Even so, there was still a passage to the next layer in this level, which couldn't help but surprise Zhou Xin.

"This underground base is much bigger than the one you had back then, I don't know how they dug it." When Zhou Xin saw the topographical map drawn by Atlas for the first time, he couldn't help but say to Spred.

"Much bigger, of course." Spred said casually, "At the beginning, the main function of our underground base was still for scientific research, and it could only be used as a temporary shelter, and it was not self-sufficient at all. This base is different, it is built entirely for daily habitation. You see, in addition to the upper three floors, the lower seven floors are all kinds of farms and livestock farms. Aside from the fact that it can't fly freely, it's almost a copy of the Voyager. After a pause, he added, "Moreover, it is clear that this base was not built all at once, and the traces of expansion inside are very obvious. It must have taken them a long time to build this scale. ”

Looking at the topographic map on the screen, Zhou Xin nodded thoughtfully, "According to this structure, if you infer from this structure, you should be able to reach the living area of the base further down." ”

"I'm sorry, Captain, you guessed wrong." Atlas spoke at this time, she pointed to the several passages leading to the other side of the port on the map, and said, "The people in the base go to the other side to rest through these passages at night, and then return to these places we have investigated during the day to work." ”

At this time, Zhou Xin noticed that there was a mark on the other side of the port representing an unknown area, so he asked, "Then why haven't these areas been investigated?" ”

"There are two reasons." The little girl replied seriously, "First, this side of our investigation has not yet been completed, and there is no way for people to send detectors to conduct a larger investigation; The second is that there are monitoring probes in these channels, and how to let the detectors pass through without being detected, people are still trying to figure out how to do it. ”

"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, since Atlas was already thinking of a way, he would not interfere too much. Zhou Xin then asked Atlas about the problem she mentioned earlier about finding the database in the base. Unfortunately, although the little girl was able to easily hack into the base's communications network through the probe, she was unable to find the existence of a large database. Even so, Atlas found that the content that existed in the base network was significantly richer than the two civilizations on the planet. It's a pity that the content inside is relatively fragmented, so Atlas is sorting it out. According to her, a lot of "interesting" things have been found in the process of sorting. However, when Zhou Xin asked, she just shook her head mysteriously and did not answer.

On this day, Zhou Xin and the others had just watched a "exercise" of the two fleets, and they were not wrong, after watching so many battles, Zhou Xin and they finally jokingly called the battles of these days a "exercise" of the two sides. Coincidentally, this time the two sides actually adopted the same tactic, which is somewhat similar to coordinated operations, where all the warships are scattered to fight independently, and they will cover each other in the battle. However, both sides of the battle failed to execute this tactic well, and it turned into a melee not long after the battle began, and Zhou Xin and Atlas shook their heads again and again, and Atlas even shouted in the command cabin for the two fleets.

After the battle, Zhou Xin and the others didn't even want to review the battle, and after a moment of silence, Atlas opened his mouth to change the subject......
