Beta Star.

Old Joan left his residence and walked on the main road of Huangyan City with his hands behind his back.

Although the military department sent the news that Jiang Xia had died in the Rhine system, Old Qiao An refused to accept such an explanation, and he stubbornly shouted at the officer who sent the death notice, "Unless you bring Jiang Xia's body to me, I will never believe it!" ”

A week passed, and there was no news from Jiangxia.

A month has passed, and there is still no news from Jiangxia.

Old Qiao An is still obsessed with keeping Jiang Xia's room in his apartment, and even the decoration in the room is exactly the same as when Jiang Xia lived in the autopsy center.

There are Jiangxia's favorite Chinese brand cigarette cartridges in the cabinet in the living room, and there is Lao Gan Ma brand hot sauce in the refrigerator in the kitchen.

Earth Day is three days away, and the streets of Scarborough Shoal are already busy.

Residents hoisted brand new federal flags in front of their homes, and a canopy over the central plaza to broadcast Earth Day was already raised.

The canopy is like two huge golden hoop sticks, up to 5,000 meters high, floating in the air using magnetic levitation technology, once opened, it can create a huge high-definition picture of 5,000 meters by 5,000 meters, no matter where you are in Huangyan City, you can clearly see it.

Due to the long-term lockdown of the solar system, immigrants are unable to return to their homeland, so federal authorities will broadcast live on Earth every year on Earth Day to tell those who live outside the solar system how the Earth has changed in the past year.

This year's Earth Day is of extraordinary significance, because the Earth Army has just achieved a historic victory, not only recovering the Rhine galaxy that had been lost for thousands of years, but also taking advantage of the situation to destroy the old rival of the earthlings, the Pang Xin Empire.

Many experts predict that after this expansion, the Earth Federation can already be included in the ranks of the five hundred powers of the galaxy in terms of scale, at least in terms of territory area, the Earth Federation is already one of the largest countries in the galaxy.

This is certainly something to celebrate, and the people are proud that the Earth has such a powerful army.

Old Joan deliberately took a long detour, took a shared hovercar to the central square to take a look, and saw that the canopy had been prepared, and Lao Joan felt a little comforted in his heart.

It's been nearly a year in the blink of an eye, and the last time on Earth Day, Old Qiao An still went to the central square with Jiang Xia to celebrate, but this year, he was only one person.

"I don't know if Jiang Xia can see the live broadcast of Earth Day where Jiang Xia is now." Looking at the canopy floating in the sky, Old Joan thought with some concern.

......

Outer solar system, Oort Nebula.

Earth Federation Guardian Legion, Border Patrol Battleship, Chang'an.

"Earth Day is three days away, I counted the days, we happened to have a holiday that day, and then we had a good drink and celebrated!" In the command room of the battleship, a young soldier sitting in the navigator's position said to his companion.

The second navigator, a warrior with rare red hair, nodded, "Yes, you must not get drunk!" After all, the Federation has achieved a historic victory, and after the fall of the Pang Xin Empire, our territory has doubled! ”

"And our Earth Federation is an emerging country, the territory is very barren, and the good territory has long been occupied by an old power like the Pang Xin Empire, and if we win this opponent, we can have a huge improvement in the economy, especially in terms of mineral output!"

The two young navigators looked extremely excited, Earth Day is the biggest holiday of the Federation, and this time in addition to celebrating Earth Day, it is also necessary to celebrate the decisive victory of the Federation Army over the Pang Xin Empire, no matter in any way, this Earth Day is of great significance.

In the galaxy, territory means strength.

Minerals, manpower, large-scale manufacturing, all relying on a huge territory and a massive population, the warriors are full of expectations for the future of the earth, hoping that your motherland will soon be able to join the ranks of the galactic powers.

Radar monitor, a bespectacled, unsmiling warrior sighed and said: "Our duty to protect the legion is in the solar system, so we have not suffered any losses, and the other main legions are afraid that they are not in the mood to celebrate as much as we do, especially the border legion, a third of the brothers have died in battle." ”

As soon as he said this, the command room suddenly became depressed, and many fighters clenched their fists.

Seeing the heavy losses of the Brotherhood Legion in the war, the Guardian Legion is actually more anxious than anyone else, but the duty of guarding the solar system makes it impossible for them to fight side by side with the Brotherhood, which is a pain in everyone's hearts.

The young man with glasses found himself bringing up something that made everyone depressed, so he wanted to change the topic, but unfortunately his mouth was relatively stupid, and he didn't know how to open his mouth after thinking for a long time.

Suddenly~

A rapidly growing white spot of light in the radar system made the radar monitor jump, "What the hell is this!" ”

"The deep space camera will be activated immediately! Beacon 1139.7581..."

"Directional radar, biological detectors, environmental analyzers, metal detectors, immediately for a comprehensive analysis!"

With the orders of the radar controller, the fighters on the ship immediately started to move, and soon, on the light curtain in the center of the control room, the picture of the white object appeared.

I saw that this white object was like a storm sweeping through the universe, surrounded by energy and broken stars, spinning rapidly, moving quickly towards the center of the solar system.

At this moment, the diameter of this giant cosmic storm is more than 2,000 kilometers, and it is still expanding.

"Look! The cosmic storm is heading for Sedna! ”

There was an exclamation from someone in the command center.

Sedna, an extraterrestrial body in the solar system near Pluto, although it also orbits the sun, is not classified as one of the major stars in the solar system because of its distance.

I saw that the white cosmic storm, like a monster with a huge mouth open, quickly engulfed Sedna Star and swallowed it into his stomach.

"OMG!" A female warrior shouted in horror, her eyes widening and her mouth covered.

In the blink of an eye, Sedna was gone.

Perhaps because of the devouring of the star Sedna, which is a thousand kilometers in diameter, the cosmic storm has become stronger and more violent.

"Calculate the orbit of the Cosmic Storm, I want to know its next target!" Captain Wei Yundi's voice suddenly rang out.

The warriors woke up from a dream and began to use quantum computers to calculate the orbit that the cosmic storm would pass.

"The next target is Pluto! If it moves in the same direction. Galaxy analysis engineers have their answers.

"Pluto!?"

"Yes, as puzzling as it is, this strange cosmic storm is indeed moving closer to the center of the solar system!"

"Understood." Captain Wei Yundi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Give me the headquarters, right away!" ”

......

Emergency meeting of the High Command of the Earth Army, Senior Commanders.

The face of the military god Salem was grim, and his gaze quickly swept over the faces of the twenty-three colleagues on the scene.

Margaret, Jiang Jue, Laudrup, Qiu Feng, Clayson, Hamsik, Jiang Feiyun...

The people who can enter this conference room are all old friends and brothers who have been fighting side by side with the military god Salem for decades, and the owners of the highest-level command authority of the Earth Army, seven five-star generals and fifteen four-star generals.

Although each of them was a giant pillar of the army, with many years of experience in commanding an army and an unshakable iron will, at this moment, Salem still saw a trace of nervousness in their eyes.

But who doesn't get nervous?

What the Earth Army is encountering now is an unprecedented crisis that the Federation has never encountered in the 50 centuries since its founding!

Salem paused, and said in a deep voice: "You must have already read the briefing, to make a long story short, a supernatural cosmic storm is brewing at the edge of the solar system, accelerating, growing, and rushing towards the core region of the solar system in an aggressive manner!" ”

"Now, the vanguard of this cosmic storm is less than five minutes away from Pluto, and I have instructed the Guardian Legion to form a temporary fleet to stop this cosmic storm."

"If the blockade can't be successful, the result is very clear to us, and now, the diameter of this cosmic storm has reached 6,000 kilometers in diameter! The gravitational pull even interferes with the normal operation of the solar system. ”

"If such a powerful cosmic storm enters the core of the solar system, Mercury will cease to exist! Jupiter will cease to exist! Saturn will cease to exist! Mars will cease to exist! The Earth will cease to exist! Even the stellar sun! It will also cease to exist! ”

"According to the calculations of the federal scientific team, if we can't stop this cosmic storm, the time left for the Earth is, at most, no more than seventy-two hours!"

Bang~

I don't know who it is, and slammed the table with his fist.

The atmosphere of the scene has been suppressed to the peak, and even a needle can be heard clearly when it is quiet.

There was no sound, only the growing wheezing of the top generals and the sound of their hearts beating faster.

Salem pressed his ear with his hand, and his implantable turbine communicator was transmitting the latest information from the front.

"The sniper fleet of the Guardian Legion has been assembled, including the Leonardo da Vinci, Vladivostok, Philadelphia, and Prague, a total of four dreadnoughts, twenty-nine battleships, seventy-eight battle cruisers, one hundred and thirty-five cruisers, four hundred and twenty-one destroyers, and one thousand and fifty-five frigates, almost one-third of the combat strength of the Guardian Legion, will participate in this temporary blocking operation."

"What the result is, please wait and see, I hope the heavens will bless my Earth Federation!"

After Salem finished speaking, he nodded lightly to his confidential secretary, Su Mei.

Immediately, the lights of the conference room dimmed, and a huge light curtain was projected in the center of the conference room, and everyone stared at the light curtain without saying a word.

On the light curtain, there was a temporary fleet, more than 1,000 large and small warships rushing from all directions at the fastest speed, neatly lined up near Pluto's outer orbit, aiming their guns, missile launchers, deep-space bomb delivery devices, and space torpedoes at the white cosmic storm that was frantically rushing in the distance.

In a very short period of time, the diameter of this cosmic storm has expanded several times! Like a beast that destroys everything, he is rushing towards Pluto, opening his bloody mouth.

"Four-minute countdown!"

"Three minutes and thirty seconds!"

"The last three minutes!" Su Mei kept telling the time.

"Fire! All fire! ”

Salem gave an order, and more than 1,000 Earth warships poured all their firepower into space.

Bang bang ~

The ultra-long-range railgun shoots out dazzling fire!

Boom~

Cruise missiles and space torpedoes, cathartic like a downpour!

Boom boom boom boom~

Deep space charges were all shot out like black hailstones!

The number of ammunition reserves is rapidly declining, and the Earth Fleet has no reservations, and has launched all the weapons that can be fired!

"1,482 high-explosive hydrogen bombs, countless conventional ammunition, all of them have been launched!" Su Mei reported in a nervous tone.

The generals stared at the light curtain, 1,482 high-explosive hydrogen bombs, that is enough explosive yield to wipe out the earth twice!

Add to that millions of conventional munitions, and there should be no problem destroying this cosmic storm, right?

Boom~

Space torpedoes and missiles draw a series of meteor-like shining lines and rush straight up!

When they entered the interior of the cosmic storm, they erupted in an astonishing flash of light, and the entire solar system was illuminated by the light of the explosion, as if the solar system had lit up a second star!

The earthlings who didn't know why raised their heads one after another, looking at the second sun in the sky in surprise, they were completely stunned!

"All hydrogen bombs detonated! We did it! Su Mei shouted with excited waving her arms.

Call~

The generals also let out a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

This is really thrilling enough, fortunately, the Federation Army has been laying heavy forces near the earth, and can quickly assemble a huge fleet, otherwise, the result is really hard to say.

There are only seventy-two hours, and before the space jump engine is not popularized, it is simply too late to transfer the fleet from other main legions.

Jiang Xia's old superior, Jiang Buchuan's father, Jiang Feiyun, took out an electronic pipe from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and stuffed a cigarette cartridge.

Although smoking is clearly prohibited in the conference room, who can manage these at this moment, at that moment just now, Jiang Feiyun's nervous heart attack was about to be committed, and he really needed to relieve his tense nerves.

Bang~

Suddenly, a dull voice came, and I saw Jiang Buchuan's pipe fall on the conference table, and Jiang Feiyun's face turned pale, stood up tremblingly, pointed to the center of the light curtain and said, "Look, that damn cosmic storm is still there!" We couldn't wipe it out! ”

Swish~

All eyes looked at each other, and then, there was a hellish silence.

The glow of millions of shells and missiles dissipated, and people saw that the white cosmic storm was still there, unharmed, like a monstrous beast that swallowed Pluto in one gulp!

Nightmare!

The result of the fleet's interception was not the destruction of the cosmic storm, but the energy carried by the hydrogen bomb was absorbed by the cosmic storm, and its diameter increased again! Speed up again!

"Pluto... Finished! Jiang Feiyun let out a hysterical voice and sat back in his chair, his eyes glazed and his whole body trembling violently.

From this moment on, there is no more Pluto in the solar system.

No, to be precise, if this incredible cosmic storm continues, in seventy-two hours, the entire solar system will cease to exist!
