Chapter 69: Rescue

The moment the 12th space station exploded into a super-giant torch, the shuttle in which the commando team was flying had just left the danger zone. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Avina instructed the shuttle group to keep the current course unchanged, enter the deep-sea acceleration mode, and then return to the sea after advancing at full speed for 500 kilometers. It has been calculated that in this way, the shuttle group can return to the control range of the mother room as soon as possible while avoiding the debris of the space station explosion.

When the control and dispatch agency was busy, the rest of the headquarters and others disagreed on the direction of the next attack. Based on the opinions of Liao Fan and Fang Hushan, the next step is that the Tranquility will give up the annihilation of the Imperial troop carrier and go to the No. 9 space station to rush to transport antimatter fuel. After obtaining a sufficient stock of fuel in combat condition for 5 days, the objective of the operation was changed to rescue the personnel of each space station.

Based on the advice of Edlaide and others, on the premise of saving people, kill and injure the troop carriers of the Imperial Army as much as possible. As for antimatter fuel, as long as there is enough for Tranquility to retreat to Earth or the Moon. It is not necessary to reserve too much.

The main point of contention between the two sides is how to deal with the inevitable arrival of the Imperial reinforcement group. After so many days, from the chaos in the spaceport to this day, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet has not sent starships back to help. The Tranquility judged that it could be that the battle in the Moon Fortress was tight and the fleet could not be freed up, or it could be that although the Resistance had an advantage, the Imperial garrison was temporarily invincible, so the fleet was not in a hurry to return to help.

In either case, the situation has developed to the point of self-detonating the space station, and the expeditionary fleet cannot ignore it in any way.

The distance between the spaceport and the moon fortress is 60,000 kilometers in a straight line. It takes less than 1 hour for the main battleship to come back to help. At this distance, it's not surprising that the Tranquility can encounter an Imperial starship at any time. Liao Fan and others advocated that with the advantage of the Brande starship, it was completely possible to deal with the imperial reinforcement fleet, and the key was to have enough antimatter fuel. Edlaide and the others thought that when they encountered the Imperial fleet, with the speed advantage of the Tranquility, they could just slip away, and there was no need for a battle.

When there is a dispute, ask the bald commander to make the final decision.

The bald head shook his big head, looking helpless, "I already know your judgment." Since I am still the nominal commander, I naturally have the right to express my opinion. In the next battle, I suggest that saving people is the first priority, and replenishing fuel is second, and it would be better if we could easily deal with a few Imperial troop carriers. ”

“。。。。。。” In the silence, people have a further understanding of the cunning of the bald head, as well as his ability to work with the mud.

"I have no opinion here, and on the premise of ensuring that people are saved, it is acceptable to properly replenish fuel." , Liao Fan's statement surprised many people. As the de facto ruler of the Tranquility, it is really unexpected that he gives his bald head such a face.

Edlaide and the others didn't want to waste more time, so the Tranquility's combat form changed again. There is no time to do tactical filing. The Tranquility Command directly ordered the rebel forces on each space station to gather as many local residents as possible and wait for rescue, while on the 6th space station, the rebel forces also needed to detach their hands to collect antimatter fuel.

The rebel armies of various space stations have reported that the Imperial Army has initiated the self-detonation procedure, and all space stations will self-detonate within 5 minutes.

In a panic, Jasmine showed her skills, and with the power of the starship system, she easily conquered the systems of each space station, setting the system clock frequency to the lowest. The end result is that there are 13 remaining stations, with Station 6 having up to 47 minutes remaining, and Station 10 having only a 12-minute buffer.

Tranquility must pass through 13 space stations within 47 minutes to rescue as many people as possible and grab strategic supplies.

Time is definitely too late, the key is how to minimize the loss.

According to the remaining time of each space station, the number of people on board, the conditions of the barge, and other factors, on the way to the No. 13 space station, Liao Fan and others urgently drew up a set of navigation paths, hoping to complete the set goals as much as possible.

The biggest obstacle to saving lives is that it takes time for nearly 300,000 people to board the ship. Even if all of them were elite soldiers, it would have been impossible for so many people to board the ship without 5 to 6 hours. To accomplish this goal in less than 40 minutes, extraordinary measures must be employed.

Since the beginning of Operation Tranquility, various space stations have been continuously thrown into space with lifejackets, lifeboats, and containers with airtight and anti-radiation functions. People in despair, decided to buy time in this way, regardless of casualties.

For those who are on the verge of exploding a space station, it is also good to take one more step closer in the direction of death.

Cannibalistic tragedies are being staged on various space stations. The dock boarding gate with the most advantageous location, as well as the life-saving equipment, have become the focus of contention. There were constant firing incidents.

On Space Station 13, desperate armed guards fired into the crowd, and hordes of residents collapsed at the dock's boarding gate, before the killers were countered by the survivors, and before Serenity arrived, a violent explosion destroyed the dock. Not many people are rescued in the form of life-saving equipment and sealed containers. Space Station 13, with a population of nearly 70,000, ultimately rescued less than 2,000 people.

Space Station 4 made a major mistake in the selection of sealed containers. The rebels used a large number of ordinary containers that were not protected from radiation and were not kept warm. When the Tranquility spent precious time and managed to contain hundreds of containers, only to find a frozen corpse among them, the atmosphere on the ship was extremely gloomy.

Jasmine was put to the test in action.

She was the actual controller of the ship, and had to force her way out when tens of thousands of people had not boarded the ship. In the command room, you can see people in despair, regardless of life and death, frantically jumping down to the giant ship that is leaving the port. Amid cries and screams, people commit suicide to escape from the space station that is about to become hell.

The giant ship was trembling, and the power supply to the monitors was affected. This is Jasmine, which is highly integrated with the starship, and its emotional fluctuations are reflected on the starship.

In the command room, even the lighting turned a melancholy dim yellow, and the little girl who muttered and complained in her ear from time to time fell into a deep silence.

Serenity's last stop was Space Station 6. Since this is a strategic material warehouse, no one lives there, except for the rebel army, there are only a few staff in charge of warehouse management, the total number is less than 10,000. There is very little pressure to board the ship. The main difficulty in the operation of the space station 6 lies in the antimatter fuel. This kind of unstable substance, which is placed in a normal space, and even the impact of an ion will cause a great explosion, must be placed in a special container that is protected by a magnetic field inside and completely isolated from the outside world.

Transporting and storing antimatter is quite a dangerous and delicate task.

It is not alarmist that it will cause a powerful explosion that will affect most of the spaceport.

Not only did Tranquility have to load antimatter fuel, but it also had to escape to a safe distance inside the space station before the terrifying and lethal energy from the antimatter explosion arrived.

During this period, the number of civilian casualties caused by the self-detonation of the space station has been preliminarily counted, and of the nearly 300,000 residents, less than 80,000 have been able to board the ship and survive.
