Chapter 321: The Line of Defense
"Thanks to the efforts of the trade department, the massive increase in subsidies for skilled workers, the maintenance of a long-term rhythm of overtime, and the macroeconomic regulation of the economic structure of the base camp, so many spaceships have been built in the past few years."
"In addition, coordinate the Hope Star, first advance a large number of people from the Hope Star and send them to the new earth to fill here, so as to solve the slow pace of the earth directly sending people to the new earth."
"For this reason, the East Galaxy Company is burdened with a large economic deficit, and the investment of tens of trillions at once has almost eaten up the old capital of the past, but whether it is our population pressure or war pressure, the pressure of war is temporarily gone, and the new earth will maintain an annual GDP growth of 50% for 10 years."
Cao Chuan was explaining the ins and outs of the matter to Lori, who still didn't understand, and he pointed to the digital map, "What we have to think about is how to deal with the unknown..."
Lolitas looked down at the screen and saw that after a few weeks of rest, the newcomers gradually adapted to the environment, such as the mission of all armies is to find ways to stop the unknown invasion.
"We are building an asteroid belt defense! Based on the original asteroid war zone, a large number of unmanned units will be stationed on it, thus forming an encirclement of Planet 6. ”
"There are two fleets of 100,000 soldiers that will patrol the asteroid belt on a permanent basis, and the remaining one fleet will be responsible for defending the new Earth. and a fleet of 150,000 soldiers, as well as freelance mercenaries to continue to sweep the unknown nests in the asteroid war zone. ”
"Since the support fleet brought us 10 spaceships at once, even if they still need maintenance before they can be used, in fact, after the 5005 asteroid war, our losses have been completely wiped out, and even the combat effectiveness has increased, enough to face more than 5 million. An unknown legion of 10 million in size. ”
"As for the research department, many upgraded and improved weapons have been brought to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the army. For more information, please contact the relevant personnel. ”
"For example, 15,000 km range beam guns, 900mm caliber electromagnetic guns, individual landing components, individual tactical nuclear warheads, combat engineering spacecraft, etc. are all upgrades and improvements to existing weapons and equipment."
"So to speak. Even if 10 million unknown targets are clearly coming towards us, we still have a way to stop them. ”
On the digital map, the scene changes every day, and in the place known as the asteroid defense line, there are dozens of more front-line camps, each camp houses at least one tactical group, with the deployed self-defense weapons and spaceships, which are enough for them to withstand tens of thousands of unknown offensives.
Although the number of front-line camps is small. Relying on the deep-space radar, they are enough to see the clear scene of several astronomical units around them, and even if there is an unknown attempt to break through, they will be detected immediately and respond.
The war to clear and intercept the unknown asteroid theater began, and it was a long-term war, almost every day in the hundreds, thousands. and even tens of thousands of reports of battle results, on the map. It represents the increasing area of the color block of the East Galaxy Company.
Whether it is the remnants of the asteroid theater or the breakthrough from Planet 6, relying on the asteroid defense line, with the number of soldiers in the three brigades that suddenly reached 300,000, the large number of new weapons and equipment brought by the research department is enough for mankind to withstand these pressures. At most, a certain number of unmanned units are lost, and there are fewer soldiers.
However, for ordinary ships, the unknown is still terrifying, especially the unknown in packs, like lambs encountering wolves. Even if the fleet deliberately avoided the universe near Planet 6, they were still able to occasionally encounter the Unknown Legion.
As a result, in the following years, there would be an attack on the spaceship every few months, and the most tragic result was the death of all 30,000 immigrants on the entire spaceship, which could not help but sound the alarm bell for people, they were far from the time to conquer the unknown.
Relying on the captain's caution and experience, similar things became a little less later, even the largest sacrifice was only a few thousand people, not as terrible as the total annihilation.
Slowly time came to 2163, the fourth year after the end of the 5005 asteroid war, this year, the population of the new earth reached 3 million, and the soldiers in the asteroid defense line nearly 1 million, the number of unmanned units exceeded 10 million, the number of spaceships exceeded 1000, and there were more than 100 Leopard-class spaceships above the Changyang level and the same level.
Humanity has never placed so many troops in the universe, but when you see the blood-surging red logo in the Planet 6 war zone, you will understand that this is only an inconspicuous number for humanity's journey to the universe.
Planet 4, Nana, White Lotus, Joan of Arc, Black Lotus and Cao Chuan are planning a thing.
"Master, the second-generation third-generation spacecraft built with a small amount of atomic-level materials has arrived in HIP49986 star system."
"Have you arrived? That's fast! Cao Chuan looked at the highlights displayed on the digital map, activated the quantum entanglement communication device, and began to synchronize in full real-time.
Their field of view was switched to another galaxy 0.8 light-years away, which was recorded in the HIP catalog, the so-called Hippars catalog, which is more accurate than the ancient HD catalog, unlike the HD catalog, which was produced in the early 20th century and confirmed by the ESA (Europa Space Agency) in 1993, so the basic information of the stars included in the HD catalog will be updated more accurately.
Of course, for Cao Chuan, such an exploration activity will inevitably not be simple.
First of all, the third-generation spaceship, there are still a few technologies that have not kept up, only through the accumulation of expensive atomic-level materials, and obtain a conventional sailing speed of 100,000 km/s, and withstand a maximum of 30 times the rate of space folding, such a thing that barely reaches the speed index of the third-generation spacecraft, so it has obtained the prefix of "times", I believe that after some time, this prefix will definitely be removed.
Therefore, from EG000002 star system to HIP49986 star system, the spaceship will travel less than half a year, and if it returns to the path of deep space, the spacecraft will directly gain 10 times the speed of light, and it will be able to return from the new earth to Centaur Alpha in 2 years.
"It looks like the third generation of ships is really coming soon... But now... Let's consider the unknown. Cao Chuan said to himself, searching the unknown is his real purpose.
The ship wandered aimlessly around the HIP49986 star system, and the surrounding scene would be synchronized at regular intervals, and it wasn't long before they were able to locate the only planet in the star system and get closer to the past.
On the 50,000-kilometer-diameter gaseous planet in the picture, he saw the unknown figure again, and then through the deep space radar, he made a rough scan and estimated that the unknown number on the planet was about 25 billion.
"See... It's the unknown again! Cao Chuan breathed a sigh of relief as if he had proved something important, and as for the other 4 loli, he understood that through their exploration, it was confirmed that the enemy was more terrifying than originally thought.
The spacecraft reversed course and followed the main direction of the dark energy tide seen in the high-dimensional world picture at the beginning, which was the path of deep space, and it didn't take long for the spacecraft to reach the speed of light, 1 times the speed of light, 2 times the speed of light, 5 times the speed of light... Finally, the limit of 10 times the speed of light is reached.
Two months later, a planet on the path of deep space, the spacecraft found that there were 1 billion unknown heads entrenched on it.
Three months later, near a star, they observed a beautiful and dazzling ring of stars, that is, the asteroid belt, in this ocean of asteroids that is larger than the Kuiper belt, it is estimated that there are at least 50 billion more unknowns on it.
Half a year has passed, and no unknowns have been found in the galaxy discovered this time, but again, this star looks extremely unexplored.
A year has passed, the spacecraft has crossed a distance of 10 light-years and continued to move forward, through the energy absorption equipment, without damage to the spacecraft, it will fly out of at least 200 light-years without damage, and even reach the end of the deep space road, where the white hole with billions of tons of matter is spewed thin, and 14 star systems have been rediscovered up close along the way, and after confirmation, more than half of them have found unknown existence.
