Chapter 262: Another Cosmic Civilization
"Zheng Xiang, report the encounter of your subordinate patrol ships to the commander." Song Jun ordered at Zheng Xiang.
Zheng Xiang, who has been in the army, did not climb to a very high position because of luck, and has been spinning in the captain's position for decades.
His most recent position is the commander of a Freedom Cruise Fleet, with thousands of Freedom Cruise ships at his disposal.
Because the territory of China includes the solar system and the Proxima Centauri, and its range radiation is more than ten light-years, a large number of military spacecraft carry out regular patrols to ensure the safety of civilian spacecraft and carry out emergency rescue.
In addition to the regular patrol fleet, which flies regularly on fixed routes, there are hundreds of thousands of spacecraft that carry out free cruising missions.
That is, the command does not require the cruising time, nor does it plan the route, and the captain freely determines the cruising direction, route, time and task
These spacecraft can cruise freely, which not only expands the scope of star exploration, but also makes up for the blind spot of conventional cruise detection and prevents the sudden appearance of other cosmic civilizations.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the spacecraft 01108 in my fifteenth Freedom Cruise Fleet departed from Proxima Centauri and headed for the direction of the constellation of the Cross for a free cruise mission.
After twenty years of sailing to the outside world, ship 01108 discovered an anomalous light shock disturbance.
While following the source of the shock, the ship encountered a small fleet of four ships and a brief exchange of fire.
Subsequently, the ship 01108 took the initiative to accelerate its evacuation, and in order to hide the source, the ship is currently going around in circles in the universe.
After inspection, the exterior of the 01108 ship was damaged in many places, but there were no casualties.
The other side did not expect to encounter the ship, so both sides were not fully prepared, which is one of the reasons why our ship was able to evacuate smoothly. ”
After listening to Zheng Xiang's brief report, Wang Dao said calmly: "It seems that our first opponent has appeared, at this point in time, hehe." ”
Everyone knows that Wang Dao is going to be a father, and at this time, an unknown enemy suddenly appears, delaying him to enjoy the joy, which will definitely make him angry.
Without waiting for others to answer, Wang Dao asked again: "What is the appraisal conclusion of your equipment department?" ”
"Commander, our conclusion is that the other party and ours have the same level of technological development." The head of the Ministry of Military Equipment, Asus, directly gave the conclusion.
Then he explained in detail: "According to the relevant information sent back by the 01108 spacecraft, we organized a large number of professionals to study the combat process and the damage to the spacecraft.
The other side also uses antimatter as an energy source, which can travel faster than light, and also uses antimatter as a weapon.
When the ship was evacuated, the speed did not reach the maximum, and the ship 01108 was a model that had been in active service for thirty years, and the other party should have pursued it at full speed.
Based on this, we can conclude that their technological development will not be ahead of us, and of course, we need more information. ”
ASUS finished judging the results in a few sentences, which was very brief, which was also because there was too little information.
"Hmm." Wang Dao agreed noncommittally, and asked Song Jun, "What measures has the military committee taken?" ”
"As soon as I got the information, I have already issued an order for full vigilance, and other measures still need your authorization."
As soon as they got the information, the group rushed over and reported the situation to Wang Dao, and there was no time to do more.
"I, as the Supreme Commander of the Military Council, issue the following order!" Wang Dao stood up and said solemnly.
The others also stood upright, waiting for orders.
"First, inform all members of the Military Commission, leaders of various departments of the Huaxia government, and leaders of the governments of various planets to convene a plenary meeting at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss war strategies.
Second, issue the highest level of alert, and in half an hour, I will make a public speech to the whole people, announcing the news of the discovery of the cosmic race, so that the whole people will be mentally prepared for all-out war.
Third, a new military plan of action should be drawn up, the tasks of each fleet should be reassigned, all warships except those that carry out essential tasks should be assembled, all members of the armed forces should be canceled from vacation, and all members of the armed forces should be on duty and ready to fight at any time.
Fourth, with unmanned reconnaissance equipment as the mainstay, manned spacecraft as the supplement, and the encounter point as the center of the circle, a comprehensive investigation is carried out to find the enemy's base camp.
Fifth, in addition to necessary construction, we should concentrate all resources and go all out to produce weapons and equipment in preparation for war.
Above, do it now! ”
"Yes!" All stood up and saluted, and accepted the order.
With the absolute authority established by the royal road for a hundred years, anything can be decided in a word, even if it directly characterizes another civilization as an enemy.
"Alright, you guys go get busy first, I'll give a speech to the whole nation in thirty minutes, and then I'll leave for Proxima Centauri." Wang Dao stood up, waved his hand, and returned to the house.
When he returned to the house, Wang Dao saw everyone sitting upright on the sofa, staring at him.
Touching his nose, Wang Dao sneered and said, "What are you all watching me do?" ”
"Is there any big trouble?" The prince asked solemnly.
If it weren't for an extremely important situation, no one would come to disturb the royal road, and most of the people present knew about the position of the military assistant in Bailixia.
Just about to perfunctory a few sentences to everyone, Wang Dao felt that it was unnecessary, and he was about to make a public speech, and there was no point in concealing these ten or twenty minutes.
So Wang Dao was directly open and honest: "Yes, our patrol ship has discovered an alien civilization, and a war is inevitable, this is a war between two civilizations!" ”
Listening to Wang Dao's last heavy emphasis, everyone's hearts couldn't help but be clouded.
"Can't we talk? Maybe the other side is peace-loving? How many people will die in this fight! ”
As a typical housewife, it is not surprising that Aunt Li asked this, time can change many things, and the only thing that is difficult to change is people's character.
Compared with a hundred years ago, Aunt Li's body is better, her life expectancy is longer, and she has seen more, but her personality is still the same, she only cares about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and her parents are short.
Wang Dao explained simply, "Our cruise ship has been attacked by the other party!" ”
In a word, let everyone be silent.
After being silent for a few minutes, Yi Xiaoxiao took the initiative to say: "You don't have to think about what to tell me, just do what you have to do, I will take care of myself and our children." ”
"I'll take command of this battle myself!" After hesitating for a while, Wang Dao still said this sentence.
Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, not knowing what to say.
This personal command certainly does not mean sitting in the rear and conducting remote command through a long-range communication system, but going to the front line in person and advancing and retreating together with all the soldiers.
Touching his stomach, Yi Xiaoxiao took the initiative to come over and hug Wang Dao, and said softly: "Go, I'll wait for you at home with the child!" ”
Wang Dao lifted Yi Xiaoxiao's chin, kissed her forehead gently, and assured her: "Don't worry, there will be no problems." ”
"Well, I believe you! Go home early. ”
After hugging each other for a while, Yi Xiaoxiao let go of the royal road, tidied up his clothes that were not messy, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and go, there are so many things waiting for you!" ”
With a long breath, he took a closer look at Yi Xiaoxiao's belly, and Wang Dao turned to leave.
