Chapter 64: Peace is but a bubble

The year 2113 was the first year of the new era, and the year when large-scale warfare was completely coming to an end, and various countries around the world signed various agreements, the most famous of which was the agreement for the detention and destruction of ———— drive equipment.

The agreement resulted in the destruction of a large number of killing machines, the erasure of a large amount of research materials, the strict restriction of nuclear energy, and the prohibition of the production of any old weapons prohibited by the agreement.

Before ushering in the new era, wars on land and in the air, sea and water, even the universe have never stopped the smoke of gunpowder, and all the weapons imaginable have been applied.

Biological and chemical weapons, missiles with high-intensity radiation warheads flew around in the sky, and people in those days could see one or several bright spots in the night sky as long as they raised their heads at night, that is, the flames and lights of the satellites or spacecraft in the universe that were destroyed and fell into the atmosphere, and exploded by violent friction.

The post-war agreement on space was soon signed, the most unjust of which was the former PUN (formerly an alliance between the countries of the Americas and Western Europe), which spent a huge amount of money on the construction of the D28 resource satellite, a weapon to strike satellites and spacecraft, and had to stop developing and withdraw the equipment when it was about to be completed.

So in the decades that followed, in the decades that followed, all military satellites, even unidentified rockets, were considered military except for a handful of civilian satellites that were monitored, and were immediately criticized around the world.

As of 2153, there are a total of 278 satellites in orbit, and all of them are civilian satellites, and now due to optical stealth technology, many spy satellites have also lost their role, as well as the influence of electromagnetic interference field generation devices, and few countries intend to launch satellites again.

But Fipoulos chose to take advantage of the loophole, and they planned to rebuild the original "Ark" space station, which was implemented before the assassination of the former prime minister.

Since its construction, the New Ark space station has become enormous, the size of two 50-story buildings put together, and it has also realized the first use of a particle compression propulsion device for a space station, but it was still built for scientific and resource development reasons.

And they did, because there was a lot of experimental data being sent back to Earth, and there were a lot of experiments, such as testing the use of particle compression propulsion devices in space.

However, no one can imagine that Phipoulos has deployed his military forces on it, and if this fact is discovered and evidence of the weapons deployed in the universe is made public, then Phipoulos will face a major crisis, and in the worst case, it will give a reason to some armed forces that have been preparing to move for a long time.

Su Xian was able to see with his own eyes this space station built by Fiplos, and of course he was acting in a very urgent situation, because he was now driving the "Transmitter" motorized infantry and was being chased by a Skyscanner G.

"Can the Skyscanner G pilot hear me?"

Su Zhan actually tried to communicate with the other party from the beginning, but he never replied, he thought that it might be because the distance and the strength of the electromagnetic interference field were too high, so he was still thinking of ways to communicate while dodging long-range shooting.

While constantly dodging, the distance between the two is getting closer and closer, which is also his purpose, and the use of laser communication at a short distance should be able to ensure that the other party can receive it.

"I'm not hostile, I ask to stop the attack."

He said tentatively first.

"This is the New Ark space station belonging to Fipolos, and it is not allowed to be approached without identification and confirmation, I have been ordered to come and intercept it, please immediately give up your weapons and get out of this area."

"I am Su Zhan, the former executive commissioner of the E-section of Fipologs, and I have asked to come to this area for rearmament."

"Wait, what's your name?"

The distance between the Transmitter and Skyscanner G is getting closer and closer, and Skyscanner G disengages the dimensional system after seeing that all the Transmitter's weapons have received the hardpoint, and the resulting particle trajectories are gradually shorter.

The distance between the two motorized infantry is only twenty or thirty meters, and the head of Skyscanner G is equipped with three triangular lights that glow blue and white, representing the main monitor, signal receiver, and energy identification device.

"I'm Su Zhan, you can check the information I sent in the past."

"Stinky boy, I thought you were dead."

Su Zhan always felt that this voice was a little familiar, and it wasn't until the other party's appearance appeared on the electronic board that he didn't until the other party was a person he recognized, and the relationship was not ordinary.

"Instructor Thatcher...?"

"Alright, you can go back with me first and explain what's going on."

The new ark space station currently has only two cargo bays left to use, and only one cargo bay for mobile infantry and other equipment, but fortunately, this cargo hold is large enough, and only need Skyscanner G to switch to fighter mode, and then the transmitter can be loaded with horizontal entry.

"Remaining from marked area: 75 meters"

Alph system beeps.

There are laser controllers on both sides of the monitor under the transmitter's head, which can be used for distance measurement and laser communication, and now the laser is used to measure the distance, so that people can judge the distance to control the speed and reduce accidental collisions.

"You kid hasn't been trained as a motorized infantry in the universe, I think you drove well unexpectedly?" Thatcher said to him in the communication, "After you dock and debug, you will go to the central area with me and introduce you to a few people." ”

"I feel like I'm in the water, right?" Su Zhan seemed very skilled, pulling the joystick with one hand, and the other hand began to debug the settings of the system after standby, "I also have a lot of things to tell you." ”

There are also markers in the cargo hold as a reference, but Su Zhan didn't pay attention to it at all, and first started the particle compression thruster mounted on the waist of the aircraft in reverse, and only started it for less than a second, which was enough to cushion the deceleration.

In the central area of the space station, Su Zhan saw a few people who he thought he would never see again, and when he first walked here, he thought it was a dream.

"Su Zhan ......"

"Hey, why are you all so bitter, look who's coming."

When everyone heard Thatcher's shout, they all turned around from their own affairs, and their eyes were all focused on Su Zhan.

They didn't seem to be sure who it was, though, until he removed his helmet, revealing the familiar face of the crowd.

"Su Zhan, Executive Commissioner No. 43 of Section E, report to you!"

Two months later.

"The contradictions between ordinary people and SLM carriers escalated again, and the city of Fipoulos was first plunged into panic and chaos."

"On March 19, 2153, the Government of the People's Republic of East Asia issued a statement that it was preparing to draft a bill on the trade-off of interests between ordinary people and SLM carriers."

Scanos leaned back in his command chair and looked at the images displayed on the electronic board, what he was looking at was the news, although he knew that these were the results of intelligence control that could be made public, and in fact there were many darker places that had not been exposed, but his focus was not on these.

During these two months, the Tim Industries remained quietly in a sea area two hundred nautical miles away from the main island of Fipulos, carrying out nothing more than weapons tests and upgrading the interior of the ship.

If there is any action, it is the rescue operation led by the city of Science and Technology, in which the biggest role is the Pastton helicopter gunship, whose superior stealth performance and strong fire support have successfully cleared a stronghold of the NHSA.

Many of the fuselages that had not had time to take off and were still sitting quietly in the hangar were attacked by Paston helicopter gunships, destroying a total of 12 third-generation motorized infantrymen and nearly 20 armed vehicles alone, causing at least more than 300 casualties among NHSA-related personnel.

This is also to be expected, after all, the cost of this Paston gunship is worth half a Super Kraken Mobile Infantry Squad.

"I said, Captain, what are you doing in a daze?"

Shirena walked over to him, he didn't realize her presence, and he had to shout in his ear.

"I'm wondering how true the news is."

"Most of the time it's fake, and the real situation is probably much more serious."

"I said Deputy Captain, what do you think about the contradiction between ordinary people and SLM carriers?"

Xi Rena leaned on the command chair where Scanos was sitting, she thought for a moment, and then said with a relaxed face: "It's nothing more than the talent of SLM carriers, who are more outstanding than ordinary people, whether it is physical strength, intelligence, reaction and judgment, etc., and even the lifespan is higher than ordinary people."

"So that can exacerbate the conflict?"

He asked rhetorically.

"If you think about it, if you have an SLM carrier who is better than you in everything, and you lose your job, you lose your confidence, you lose everything, and then most people will think that it is the SLM carrier who has taken what belongs to them."

"So, what do SLM carriers think of this?"

"Captain Scanos, I think you should ask Chow, after all, he's also an SLM carrier, and he knows more about this than I do."

Scanos turned his head to look at her, and then glanced at the other three people in the command room, Angel Belle and Kia, the two girls were still sleeping on their stomachs, but Leen was sitting quietly, wearing headphones and whispering to someone.

"I said that you are not an SLM carrier, I am an ordinary person, will you also discriminate against me as it is said in the news?"

"Captain, of course I discriminate against you, I discriminate against your emotional intelligence, but I also appreciate your ability to command without surprise."

"So you're saying that not all SLM carriers have repulsive thoughts towards ordinary people, right, but this is a minority after all, so I said when I talked to me before, it's quite difficult to achieve peaceful coexistence between the two."

Shirena yawned, turned around to leave the command room, and whispered to him as she walked to the door, reminding him not to think too much about complicated things.

There was a reason for her reminders and worries, as she had long ago noticed that Scanos was often alone with his chin in his hands, his eyes glazed in his thoughts, even late at night.

Of course, he is not the only one who has this kind of problem, and Shirena defines this behavior as a bad one, because she thinks this is typical depression, and she doesn't want to talk about her troubles and don't vent her emotions.

Most calm and steady people have some degree of depressive symptoms, which is manifested in a person who thinks alone and does not say anything when asked.

Shirena had heard from Xiyu that there was also this kind of thing in Kecheng, and she thought that only SLM carriers would do this, and if it was SLM carriers, it would be quite common, but Scanos was just an ordinary person.

On the way back to the resting quarters, she wondered if she would have to take Scanos back to New Kirka Island to see a psychiatrist one day, and there was one on board, but she didn't think it was reliable.

A week later.

Timm Industries, which was about to complete its internal upgrading, suddenly received a message indirectly, which was the first time in a long time that internal members were active.

"Emergency communication, the HS700 shuttle captured the whereabouts of Calamity X, it seems that its optical stealth effect was lifted due to the typhoon, and the HS700 shuttle that is cruising and monitoring in the western Pacific discovered this scene."

"The whole ship is carrying out Level 3 emergency plans and warnings, please arrive at the control command room at 0450 hours......"

The two girls, Kia and Angie Belle, repeated this three times on the radio, and then they began to send emergency communications to the personnel asked by Scanos, respectively.

"The rare vacation period isn't coming to an end, is it?"

Char, who was in the prep area, complained to Humula and began to review the mission requirements.

"I thought there had been no action for three months, and the world was already peaceful outside, and it seemed to be just a bubble."

"Who knows, then Teacher, we also have the final debugging of this body that can change the world as the group of uncles and old men from the Blue Flash Base said?"

The two men nodded, and quickly separated, one walked to the console to control the mechanical arm, and the other went to the cockpit of the fuselage to check with the help of a lift.

It's rare for them to work together like this, and their presence means that they have enough attention to this highly-anticipated mech.

Hopefully, all the best.

Char thought to himself as he skillfully controlled the robotic arm.
