The mottled crater, with a soft surface of fine sand, and no atmosphere, hangs an orange-red earth overhead. In the vast lunar plains, huge ring-shaped craters stand in the middle, and from this huge crater with a diameter of 200 kilometers, you can imagine the devastating impact billions of years ago.

In contemporary times, the crater is enveloped by a huge canopy-like defensive field. A mass of gas of similar composition to the Earth's air fills its inner space.

As the circumlunar satellite passes over this peculiar crater, it will notice abnormal fluctuations in the gravitational field. The flickering artificial light brings a different kind of life to the lonely and indifferent surface of the moon.

Aiken, the name of the largest crater on the Earth-facing side of the Moon, is also the capital of the lunar colony.

Twenty kilometers deep into the lunar surface, all the way to a range of 2 kilometers above the lunar surface, there is a miracle in the history of human engineering, the political center of the lunar colony, the Tower of Aiken Babel.

It is also the residence of the government of the Lunar Autonomous Region and the residence of the Lunar Chargé d'Affaires.

The top floor of the Tower of Babel, overlooking the vast lunar plain, is Yue Chao's favorite office space. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling viewing window, you can see the majestic Aiken crater and the vast plains, and you feel like you have the moon in control.

Yue Chao is in his early forties, tall and straight, with handsome and endearing facial features. He has a sturdy silhouette that is rare among the Chinese, and with his clever tongue, he is the representative of the young Zhuang politicians in the coalition government of the solar system.

He shook the delicate red wine glass in his hand, and saw the bright red liquid rippling back and forth in the glass. Through the pale red crystal, the moon world in front of you also looks strange.

"Your Excellency, I beg your pardon for disturbing your interest. It's not a good time to taste wine. Please also give us a reply as soon as possible. ”

The unfinished words came from a short and fat middle-aged man. His appearance is already a bit funny, and with a small handful of retro mustaches in the middle of the person, it has a kind of black humor effect. He is the Imperial Under-Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Solar System, Junichi Miki, the typical Proxima Centauri man, rude and direct.

Yue Chao pursed his lips in disgust, and when he turned around, a kind smile re-armed on his face. No matter how angry you are, when you see this face, half of your anger has disappeared.

"I understand what Mr. Vice Chancellor means. Aside from all else, I personally fully agree with the decision to join the Empire. ”

Jun Miki's face was overjoyed, "You mean, agreed?!" ”

"It's a pity, if the moon government had the final say on my own, I would have been able to give you an affirmative answer! But as you can see, outside my office, countless dignitaries are asking for interviews, and I need to convince them one by one to ensure the stability of the moon. So please forgive a few days... ”

The fat face twitched with anger. He resisted the urge to swing his fist and forced himself to compose.

"I have already said what I need to say, and please think twice. If one day I don't run to you anymore, it will be the time for the Admirals to speak, and I hope they will give you enough time! ”

glared at Yue Chao viciously, and the deputy official turned around and left.

"Your Excellency the Vice Minister, slow down, there is a dinner party arranged today, please enjoy it!"

"No need, Your Excellency the Chargé d'Affaires should give us a reply as soon as possible."

Without looking back, Junichi Miki left the chargé d'affaires' office and bumped into the reception room full of people waiting to be seen.

The noisy reception room fell silent, and he caught a glimpse of many flattering smiles, snorted viciously, and walked away.

。。。。。。

The appearance of a female secretary wearing a standard suit with a beautiful face but no features immediately attracted people's attention.

"Please come next, Mr. Pete of the Lunar Mining Group." Under the envious gaze of everyone, the obese Caucasian white man stood up, first dusted off his body, and then walked beside the secretary with his waist bent.

"You wait a little longer, I have something urgent to find Yue Qun." , unceremonious words, the speaker reached out to push away the fat white man.

“。。。 You!!... You please, your things are more important ... The white man, who was angry, instantly wilted after seeing the person who was coming.

Passing by him, he walked by a figure that was not tall, a middle-aged man who was less than fifty years old, and was wearing a space army uniform. They are also yellow-skinned, but they are very different from the Chinese in appearance. If you understand the distribution of the remaining human race on the earth, you must be able to see that this is a rare Mongolian race. With the vast majority of Mongolians leaving the solar system nearly a thousand years ago with colonial spacecraft, this race has become a minority in the solar system.

The visitor pushed the female secretary aside and broke into the chargé d'affaires' office.

。。。。。。

"It's so hard to see you now! Rama is not as big as you. Relative to the identity, very unkind words, the person sat on the sofa for the guests.

Seeing that it was him, Yue Chao gave up the smiling mask and showed an angry expression, "Don't stand and talk without back pain, I have to deal with so many visitors every day, and each has a background." How can you imagine a hard place. By the way, do you see that Proxima Centauri? Here comes another ultimatum. I'm under more and more pressure here, can you give me a letter, what's going on with the coalition government, what's going on with the situation? ”

The Mongolian was the commander of the First Fleet logistics base on the moon, named Altai. He sighed and put on a helpless expression, "No way, there is no news from the First Fleet, almost no one knows what is going on with Neptune, just wait!" ”

"The times are urgent... , Yue Chao pointed to the orange-red earth hanging high above, "It's hell over there, it is said that the number of casualties is more than 1 billion, and the final victims are more than 3 billion." Those bastards of the Empire are serious, we can't afford to wait! ”

"Humph! Don't look at how powerful they are, the more so, the more it tells us that they are strong on the outside. Don't forget that we also have the 'Goddess Light Shield' system. If it's really hard, I can't say that I have to let them take off a layer of skin. ”

As he spoke, Altai's already angry face showed a hideous face. His expression really frightened Yue Chao on the other side, "Take your time, take your time, I can still withstand it here, it's really my turn to play with the 'Goddess Light Shield', don't worry, don't worry!" ”

About half an hour later, Altai hurried away, waiting for the people in the room to stand up and wait for the secretary to call the next lucky one.

"Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, I am sorry that your Excellency Chargé d'Affaires has ended today's meeting time. The following will be the daily routine of the 'Peace Game', and I hope that you will show a little generosity in the spirit of compassion to help the needy, and contribute to the development of the moon. ”

There was a lot of grumbling in the room. Strangely, no one left. People voluntarily joined in this special event, which is called charity card games, which is actually a means of collecting money.

。。。。。。

In the corner of Babel, a female secretary meets a man in a security uniform.

"How? Are there any special circumstances? ”

"It's about the same as the previous two days, Junichi Miki came and left angrily, his purpose has not been achieved. In addition, Altai also came, and the two conspired for about half an hour, and the details are unknown. ”

"Very well, keep watching. You have to stand firm, the Internal Affairs Bureau is not the only one who is inside, your information will be corroborated by each other before being accepted, I don't want any deviation... ”

As the words ended, the man disappeared, while the female secretary pretended to have just sorted out her clothes and hurried to the 'Peace Card Game'.

。。。。。。

A black maglev car, with the logo of the First Fleet, sped past in front of you. Max put down his military binoculars, "Look at these guys who have soaked up the people's fat and people's cream, the compatriots on the earth are suffering, they have a strong force, they don't think about beating the enemy, they only know to play here." ”

The unforgiving attitude peculiar to young people was shown on his face very clearly, and in his sharp eyes, in addition to anger, there was an additional frenzy flashing.

"Okay, you just have to monitor, and other superfluous things are not for you to comment on at this level. You have to remember that the actions of the 'Children of the Earth' are for the benefit of hundreds of millions of people, and you just have to do what you do. Don't worry about superfluous things, and don't think about it! ”

The harsh rebuke extinguished Max's fledgling enthusiasm. He picked up the binoculars and continued to monitor the maglev cars coming and going, and the corners of his mouth bent down because of suffocation.

。。。。。。

The illumination of the fire control radar was continuous. Even if the identity of the friendly forces is revealed, the guard of the spaceport has not been relaxed in the slightest. There were constant alarms on the bridge, and Kim Jong-tae had to order the radar warning to be turned off.

Many of the entries were eventually approved, and it is strange that until now no senior officers of the First Fleet had taken the initiative to contact them. The contact requests sent here have also been lost.

Kim Jong-tae: "What the hell are they doing!" Has the factional struggle reached this point? ”

Zhang Zhen: "Oh, you think it's a factional dispute? ”

Kim Jong-tae: "Isn't it? ”

“。。。。。。”

With a strange smile, he shifted his gaze to the monitor, the view of the spaceport, thoughtfully.

。。。。。。

"Who do they think they are, and who is that tone directed at them!"

Avina, who returned to the control room, looked angry, and almost slapped the table and scolded the street.

Zuma stood in front of the console with a serious expression.

Small and medium-sized spacecraft entering the port will be stabilized by a magnetic field in a specific area according to the established procedure, and then fixed by a robotic arm. Super-large capital ships, on the other hand, are generally docked near spaceport facilities because they are too large, and maintain a relatively stable position by constantly working through their own attitude adjustment vents. Without a special reason, the giant ship will not be bound by the mechanical arm.

However, the Wanderer was treated in a way that was out of the ordinary. It was required to stop all power and be docked by a magnetic field in the dockyard plus numerous fixtures.

"I always think the moon people are weird... , Avina put on a stinky face, and the control room echoed.

"It's not just weird." Zuma's sudden remarks startled everyone. He shook his massive body and walked straight to the console.

"Help me contact the bridge, I want to see the commander."

"Sorry, the control of the mothership has been transferred to the dock, please apply to the dockyard communication room."

"What! How can the internal communication machine be handed over to them, this is trouble! ”

Zuma's face changed, and under the worried gaze of a group of people, he hurried away.

。。。。。。

A notification came from the personal terminal that all personnel were going to the spaceport for identity verification.

Verification of identity and the like, as long as the database of the wandering number is synchronized, why do you need to register face-to-face?

Natalie quickly put the doubt behind her, and Liao Fan's injury touched her heart. On the battlefield, after seeing his landline explode, that feeling of being helpless and boring didn't want to experience it a second time.

She was very confused, the two did not have a definite relationship, he already had a girlfriend, why did she have strange feelings for him. Distress is distress, and the eagerness to see him prompts her to act.

She didn't choose to go to the spaceport to line up for the record, but separated from her comrades and went straight to the hospital.

Holding a bouquet of flowers, carrying a large fruit basket, carrying too many things on her body, it makes people worry about whether she can walk normally.

On the way to the hospital, I met an acquaintance.

"Quick! Follow me... At Jack's urging, Natalie was pulled to the emergency evacuation passage with suspicion.

“。。。 Wait, I'm going to the hospital... ”

"It's too late, we have to leave immediately. The Moonman made a game, and everyone who went to the spaceport was arrested. ”

"But what about Liao Fan? He's still in the hospital! ”

"It's too late, let's go!"

Under the sound of hurried footsteps, the figures of the two disappeared into the evacuation passage.
