Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Critical Moment
"Leader! More than half of our ships have been lost, so please give the order to cover the retreat of the populace! ”
"As long as these tens of billions of people are still there, we have hope for revival!"
"No, the Homeland's residential ship has also been badly damaged! The billion people above must be transferred! ”
"Where to go!? Do we have any extra ships now? ”
"Isn't it possible to see those people buried with the spaceship!?"
"Transfer to this Ivan main ship, it should still be able to accommodate a billion people......
"The main ship Ivan is not a residential ship! The ecological circulation system cannot support this billion people! ”
The spiral room was full of arguing, and the leader of the Orthodox government was sitting in his seat pondering, thousands of responses flashing through his mind, only to be rejected one by one. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After arriving at the Beiluo Division, one trap after another trigger reports let the orthodox government know that they could not escape if they did not solve the curvature traces left by the impulse engine, so they separated a considerable number of ships that were badly damaged and dismantled to the power system and headed for the silver heart, while the real government used conventional sailing methods to escape in the other direction.
The Kara civilization is worthy of being a hegemon-level civilization within nearly a thousand light years, even if it is a conventional voyage, the limit speed of the spaceship can reach 15% of the speed of light, in the original plan, the pursuers behind it, whether it is the earth civilization or the rebel government, as long as they are led away by the curvature track, the real fleet that adopts conventional navigation will completely disappear in the vast sea of stars...... Unfortunately, in the eighth year of the regular voyage, they were confronted by a rebel government.
There is no curvature track, no outward radiation, and the detection shield is always open...... It stands to reason that they have become ghosts in the vast sea of stars, and it is difficult to be discovered, but they are discovered.
The leader can only think of one possibility - a mole.
The leader of the Orthodox government had a gloomy face, and they had just been confronted by the rebel government in the eighth year of their escape from faster-than-light and near-light-speed sailing, and it was not so coincidental that the rebel government must have been in control of their position at all times, so after escaping from the near-light speed, they were quickly overtaken by the rebel government at full speed.
Many councillors are aware of this problem, but they don't know what went wrong, the signal transmission in the fleet is supervised by various departments at all times, and if there is a signal connected to the outside, it must not escape their field of vision, but it is difficult to understand that someone has indeed exposed the location of the fleet.
But now is not the time to think about these issues, the Kara civilization rebel government dispatched nearly 3,000 large war ships, as well as tens of thousands of small and medium-sized ships, and the number of ships of the orthodox government is not much, and most of them are in a state of big destruction and medium destruction, a lot of losses on the way to escape, emergency repairs have also dismantled a lot of ships, and a considerable part of them were separated in Beiluo Shimen before as bait.
Although almost all of these less than 1,000 spaceships are large ships with excellent performance, they have finally opened a huge gap in numbers, and these less than 1,000 spaceships have not been systematically repaired and maintained for a long time, and it is difficult to give full play to their original combat capabilities.
The rebel government's huge fleet has already exhausted the water surrounding the Orthodox government, and the Orthodox government can only distribute relatively intact ships on the periphery to erect a huge energy shield that surrounds the entire fleet, while the residential ships and government main ships that carry a large number of people are protected in the center of the fleet.
It's like a beaten turtle, and the shell of the turtle can be broken by someone else at any time.
Holding on to the defense is not the way, it is difficult to find the weak point of the opponent in the breakout, and even if it is found, forcing the breakthrough will only cause heavy damage to the fleet...... And after this battle, the fleet will essentially lose the ability to flee.
It was simply a desperate situation, and the leaders of the Orthodox government were sad in their hearts.
"Report, a large number of undocumented ships at a distance of 0.08 light-years behind us!"
A sudden report brought the room to a standstill for a few seconds, and many people even began to have a look of despair on their faces.
They have no reinforcements, whether it is a rebel government or an earth civilization, it is a hostile relationship, so this fleet that suddenly appears behind them must also be an enemy.
"It's over, whether it's a rebel government or an Earth civilization, we can't escape ......"
"I hope it's a rebellion against the government, or at least we're still dead at the hands of our own civilization."
"If it's an Earth civilization, can we ask for their assistance?"
"Look at the reality clearly, if it is the civilization of the earth, why did they come so far, it wasn't to plunder us, do you think they are here to save us?"
The discussion began again in the conference room, but most of them were negative, and the leader pondered for a long time and said.
"If the rebel government can really keep track of our movements at any time, then they can definitely avoid our trap, but the trap is still triggered, then it should be stepped on by the civilization of Earth...... The direction of this fleet is from the Beiluo Division, and it is likely to track our Earth civilization. ”
"Leader, with all due respect, although the rebel government is brutal, their purpose is only to bring back these tens of billions of people, although our fate is destined to be death or life imprisonment, but our people can still survive, if it is the civilization of the earth...... Then it's hard to say. ”
One of the councillors stood up and said, as if to dissuade many people from asking for help from Earth civilizations, and many people have begun to consider this layer, indeed, in the values of other civilizations, it is not necessary to put the creatures of extraterrestrial civilizations in the same position as their own civilization creatures, which may usher in some very real problems.
Is a pig eater a wicked person?
For pigs, perhaps, for others, it's not something to think about at all.
Although the moral cultivation of civilization is logically proportional to the degree of civilization, the cultivation of values does not necessarily go in the same direction.
"Do you mean to surrender now? You know the face of the rebel government, they are hungry for dictatorship! This will drag our civilization into dire straits! If we really just give up, worthy of our compatriots who have died? Are you worthy of the tens of billions of people who are willing to flee with us? ”
The leader slapped the table, quieting the somewhat noisy conference room.
"If the rebel government really comes, we will resist until the last moment! If it is an earth civilization...... Let's negotiate with them, the tech tree is still not possible, it will bring the danger of destruction to our civilization, but maybe we have other leverage......"
"Other chips? Leader...... Are you supposed to be ......?"
Some realized something, and the leader of the Orthodox government sighed slightly.
"Anyway, what our civilization can't use anymore, if it can be exchanged for the revival of civilization, it will be worth it......"
"I'm against it! We don't know what's in Cabin 2! If it is handed over to the earth civilization, no one can bear the possible consequences! ”
"If they get some kind of supertechnology, then our civilization will be in danger!"
"Enough!"
The leader stood up, looking at the somewhat flustered conference room with an angry voice.
"Now our civilization is experiencing a life-and-death crisis! I'll take care of all the consequences! You can vote, but I'll vote for it with 10 votes! What we need now is a glimmer of life, and we are responsible for the tens of billions of people who are willing to flee with us! If they are captured, the rebel government will not execute them, but everything they have in civilization is ruined! They will lose their glory, they will lose their jobs, they will lose their status...... Even the most basic human rights have been lost! Those who follow freedom and peace will become traitors, and Kara's spirit will die completely! ”
The leader gasped for breath and looked at everyone in the room, many of those who supported the leader nodded in agreement, and many of those who opposed it were also in a dilemma.
At this time, another report was delivered.
"The outpost has confirmed that the undocumented fleet is affiliated with an Earth civilization."
The leader let out a sigh of relief and sat down in his seat, his tail looming limply on the ground.
His eyes were full of powerlessness, and he didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong, and let out a long sigh.
"Now, let's start voting."
