Chapter 2 Departure into Space 2

The Lunar Synchronous Orbit Guardian Fleet was established to emigrate to the moon, ensure order among the migrants, and eliminate saboteurs and other threats in space. This is also the first time that mankind has deployed a living combat force in space. All this is new, the coalition government has no experience, the fleet commanders have no experience, and the fighters have no experience. However, now everyone is united, performing their own duties, and doing their best to do a good job in the various tasks of immigrating to the moon.

The space shuttle that Xingtian and Ares flew in was exclusively for military commanders, and with them was the commander of the Moon's synchronous orbit guardian space fleet. Before they set off, all the combatants of the 1st Group had risen into the air to provide them with defensive guarantees. As a squadron leader of the first squadron of the first brigade, Xingtian should have taken to the air with his own troops, but because he and Ares were the targets of the military's key training, in order to establish their status in the hearts of the younger generation as soon as possible and facilitate their command of the troops in the future, the military deliberately showed it like this, and also helped the two of them to take up positions. Although the two of them performed extremely well in the last two years of practice in the military academy, they did not understand why the top leaders wanted them to rise so quickly, and only a few leaders such as Zion understood the reason.

After boarding the plane, the two quickly arrived at their respective seats, and after putting their luggage away, they entered the preparation for liftoff. "Please quickly get to the designated position, the shuttle will be ready to take off immediately", "Please everyone check the seat belt again, the shuttle will enter the countdown to liftoff", "Countdown starts 5.4.3.2.1, ignition". With a loud roar, the shuttle lifted off smoothly and flew out of the atmosphere to the moon's synchronous orbit. "The shuttle has successfully reached space, and now you can move freely, the flight attendant will provide you with drinks and desserts later, the restroom is open, and it will take about 12 hours to reach the destination", "Ares let me go to the bathroom" Xingtian smiled and said to Ares, "The old problem hasn't been changed yet, I wonder why you urinate frequently when you take the transport" After saying that, Ares also made a disdainful expression. "you, great men have a habit of being seen as a fault by others, get out of the way, be careful I can't hold back and solve it on the spot" Xingtian made a move to open the front door, and Ares hurriedly dodged to let him pass. After the punishment passed, he clenched his fist at Ares as a threat.

Xingtian came back after a while, and at the same time held 2 drinks in his hand, he cautiously walked to Ares's side, and handed it to Ares who was sitting in the seat, and Ares, who took the drink, smiled evilly and said: Xingtian sees you walking like a duck, you are really worthy of the title of the first recruit. Damn, you put on these heavy in-cabin boots, you're more like a duck than I am. Xing Tian sat down and continued: When will the artificial gravity system be applied to our space battleships, if there is an artificial gravity system, I dare to guarantee that our overall combat effectiveness can be increased by ten or fifteen percentage points. Ares nodded in agreement. Captain Grove, who was sitting in the front row, looked back at the two high-spirited teenagers and nodded incessantly and said: "Boys, I will tell you a secret, your warship will be able to use the artificial gravity system in half a year at the latest. It's true! Both exclaimed at the same time, fantastic. Grove stopped talking, continuing to enjoy a brief moment of calm. Xingtian and the two were fantasizing about various lifting issues after the artificial gravity system was put on the ship.

"Please quickly return to the designated position and remember the seat belt, the spacecraft is about to enter the airport", 12 hours passed unconsciously, and the space shuttle was about to enter the destination of this time, the base camp of the lunar synchronous orbit guard fleet - Athena Space City. This space city was built specifically for the defense of the fleet, and although it only serves the fleet, it also has all kinds of living facilities. The space city is divided into 6 parts: 1. The airport area, which is similar to the entry and exit portal used by ordinary space shuttles for civilian use. 2. The fleet launch area, which is a real combat unit, is an enlarged airport, which can release a large number of combat ships at one time, and it is also an important passage for important ships to escape in case of emergency. 3. The rest area, where all the shipboard personnel of the fleet, the logistics units and the staff and reserves of the Space City are stationed, similar to the original barracks. 4. Training area, all kinds of training in the airport are carried out in this area. 5. Living quarters, where families of combatants and researchers at the airport live. 6. The power area, the power source of the entire Space City, is also the information processing center of the entire Space City.

Wow, look at it, Athena Space City is really spectacular, and we're going to serve on this warship after looking at those warships, it's great. Ares said loudly, an excited expression on his face, Xingtian just looked at the space city and the warship without much expression. Grove saw that Xingtian didn't speak, so he asked, what's wrong? Xing Tian said seriously: The space city without an artificial gravity system can only be regarded as a space station, how to train, how to live. Most of our current fighters are coming to space for the first time and are certainly not adaptable. At the very least, combat effectiveness will drop by 20 percentage points. Grove said with a smile: Xingtian, you underestimate our researchers, that is all the scientific research elites of the earth, although the artificial gravity system on the battleship will take half a year, but such a large space city already has an artificial gravity system, and now the researchers are trying to make our equipment smaller so that it can be installed on the battleship, and then there is the problem of energy consumption, the whole problem is not solved, it is estimated that our battleship has not yet encountered the enemy due to lack of energy and will have to wait for the space rescue team. After speaking, Grove glanced at Xingtian with appreciative eyes, and strode out of the space shuttle. Xingtian and Ares flashed to the side, waiting for the commanders to follow Grove out of the hatch and follow sideways.

As soon as I got out of the hatch, I saw the people who had arrived in advance in a neat line to welcome the arrival of the commanders. Salute. After the lifetime command, all the personnel neatly stretched their right hands to their chests, and their forearms were level with their chests, and at the same time their right hands were clenched into fists and pressed against their left chests. This is the latest salute prescribed by the coalition government's military, and it may seem that mankind has officially entered the space age and should make corresponding changes to the military salute. The officers who came up from the shuttle plane lined up in a line around Grove and returned the salute under Grove's command. Lipgrove stepped forward and walked over to the microphone, all the soldiers waiting with serious faces on their faces as they waited for their Supreme Commander, Grove, the first Commander-in-Chief of the Space Fleet, to speak. "Ahem, everyone's worked hard. Due to the situation, we have to speed up the pace of entering space, and the army has also changed from the original army, navy, and air force to a space fleet, and in the face of a new world, we have no experience to speak of, and most of the ships and weapons are waiting for everyone to experiment and verify. But we are a race of great wisdom and courage. I believe that we will be able to overcome any difficulties and move forward bravely. Children, a bright future awaits us. The vastness of space is waiting for us to explore. You are the first Space Force, and your names will be inscribed on a tablet called history for the future. Thank you for your contributions and sacrifices for the survival of humanity. Although you have not yet fought a space war, you are already heroes of humanity. Let us move forward for the future of humanity." All the soldiers were enthusiastic, they suddenly forgot the hardships they had experienced, and they only had courage in their eyes and only the future in their hearts. "By the way, after the study of the United Earth Government, your family will come to this space city to reunite with you in the near future, although this is a military space city, but I think for now, it will not be too dangerous here, you say. In the future, you should be careful in your daily training and normal duty. Don't poke a hole in this space city, it's dangerous." Laughter was heard everywhere, the tension melted away, and happiness spread across everyone's faces. "I'm done, all pay attention, disband and go back to their posts." The soldiers left the airport in an orderly manner. Grove told the secretary and asked him to summon the commanders above the squadron to the operational command room to assemble and deploy the mission. A group of commanders who had just arrived followed Grove directly to the operations command room.

All the officers above the rank of brigade had arrived, and Grove stood up and stamped around the conference table, not one of them spoke, quietly waiting for Grove to speak next. Suddenly, Grove walked firmly to the commander's seat, stood in front of the chair, propped up the conference table with his hands, looked around and said: "With the arrival of our last batch of personnel and supplies, the Earth Headquarters is now powerless, everything that the Earth Headquarters can give us is ours, and everything will depend on us in the future." Most of the scientists have also entered the city of Athena, and they will follow us to solve many scientific and technical problems for us. The Earth is already on the verge of collapse, and most of them, except for a few, will be transferred to lunar bases. From now on, all resources will be used for the development of lunar bases and human settlement. Our space city is designed to prevent unforeseen events and ensure the smooth flow of migration. The second is to allow scientists to enter the field experiments in space, obtain more accurate data, and ensure the smooth construction of the lunar base and the solution of scientific and technological problems. The task ahead of us is daunting, and we will be shouldered with the responsibility of defending the lunar base and cooperating with scientists in various experiments. I hope that everyone will be fully mentally prepared and ready to defend themselves at all times, and that there must not be a trace of danger in the immigration program and scientific experiments now. Our space city is the hope of all mankind, and we should work together for the future of all mankind. Order: All units are to enter the preset combat positions in accordance with the original plan". "Yes", everyone's powerful answer resounded throughout the operational command room.
