Chapter Eighty-Seven: Departure
Deep Sky One, a huge body floating in space, its wings stretched out. The huge amount of energy radiation is captured by the energy thin-film battery on the wingspan, which is converted into an electron stream, which is fed into the huge battery pack of Deep Space One, which becomes its surging power and drives the huge body.
In the space station, the members of the Space Force perform their duties and are nervously making various pre-war preparations.
In the eyes of human detection, the target has crossed the orbit of Mars and is currently less than 30 million kilometers away from the Earth-Moon combination. In space, this distance is already very close, even at the average speed of the previous Grim Reaper, it only takes a few days. What's more, after instrument detection, it has been confirmed that the Grim Reaper is accelerating at an unprecedented speed, faster and faster, and it is likely that it will be engaged in a day or two.
There isn't much time left, the big war is about to begin!
According to the signal from the ground, the last batch of rockets and space planes have been lifted off, and the more than 100 tons of materials carried will enter the space orbit in batches, and then stop through the space station, and then accelerate to the near-moon orbit, gathering near Deep Space 1 and Deep Space 2.
The current Deep Space 1 and Deep Space 2 are already overloaded to the limit, and the combat materials and combat personnel carried on both sides are like a huge sugar gourd string, dragged here by two behemoths.
There is no way, even if the earthlings have tried their best, they can't create more space power, space fighters and drones, in order to save fuel, are currently only carried on two large space stations and dragged around.
That is to say, these combat equipment will be one-time combat effectiveness, at the moment of battle, it means that they are already dead, even if they are defeated, there is no way to return to the earth, these were originally the fighters used in the top atmosphere of the earth, but after just two months of modification, they were used in space warfare, and mankind has not yet studied the ability to recover these high-speed combat equipment.
Even behemoths like Deep Space 1 and Deep Space 2 have extremely limited carrying capacity in space, and it is simply impossible to bear too much. After all, just to maintain their own operation, it would cost them seventy or eighty percent of their own weight, and in fact, their bodies, which seem to be more than 1,200 tons, have only 30 to 50 people in real capacity.
With the current situation, with so many people and so much equipment, its endurance is also extremely limited.
It is conceivable how much weight and space a real space battleship needs, I am afraid that it will often cost tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of tons, and in the past film and television dramas, the situation of small warships flying freely between the stars can only be the dream of fantasists.
A truly practical space battleship cannot be built with the current technology of earthlings. In fact, even if they are actually built, it is difficult to lift them into the air, and the only way to build them is to adopt a modular assembly method, which is no different from the construction method of a giant space station.
That's why the Space Force is now called a suicide force, and as soon as they actually start a combat mission in space, they immediately lose their ability to sustain themselves, and no one can help them. Even if it is near the lunar orbit, the seemingly close distance is a stone's throw away for the endurance of human beings in space, and it can be seen clearly, but it is out of reach.
Under such circumstances, humanity will start a space war with the enemy, which is almost no different from sending them to death.
But it can't be helped, the earth needs them.
——————————
The Earth needs them, and the Earth needs the Space Force to conduct a defensive war in space.
This is not because of the need for earth reality technology, as mentioned earlier, the current space force created by earth technology is more like a suicide force.
This is due to the need for the overall defense of the planet by mankind.
One reason is the moon, the moon is the natural bunker and bridgehead of the earth, the distance is just right, the earthlings are engaged in a defensive war, and abandoning this place is equivalent to giving up the best forward defense base for mankind, strategically speaking, it is a pity.
Another reason is that the satellites and space stations in the earth's orbit, modern human society, the dependence on these artificial celestial bodies has reached its peak, and has almost become an inseparable part of the basic communication facilities of human society.
Without the various satellites in orbit, human society would be almost instantly beaten back to the military, communications, and transportation ...... of the sixties and seventies of the last century. All aspects will be greatly discounted, in fact, it will be no different from defeat.
At that time, humanity will have only one choice: defeat and surrender.
Without control of the Earth's orbit, the Earth becomes a natural cage, and aliens can attack the ground from the Earth's orbit, and what resistance does human beings have. At that time, the enemy will not need to land at all, and just a few attacks on the earth from space will lead to the collapse of the fragile social system of mankind.
Therefore, the space war, human beings have to fight, it is a choice of desperation, now, I don't know how many people on the earth are complaining, how brain-dead the countries of the earth were, so that for the sake of economic development and slow down the progress of space technology, finally make human beings now have to eat their own bitter fruits.
At this moment, "if you fall behind, you will be beaten", this sentence makes the people of the earth sound how ironic it feels.

General Wang Luyao floated in the cabin of Deep Space No. 1, accompanied by a group of senior officers.
This is the space fighter pilot's cabin, and about two dozen space fighter pilots live in the narrow space. At this moment, although they are all wearing simple spacesuits like the members of the space station, floating in space, the chaotic floating posture still seems to be very orderly, divided into two rows up and down. Although he was in a weightless state at the moment, his raised right hand was the same, saluting the commander.
They're all good boys!
Wang Luyao sighed in his heart, these drivers are all elites from various countries, their faces are firm, their expressions are relaxed and calm, and order and discipline have been like steel in their bones. It won't be long before they'll be ready to fight, piloting their Silver Eagle to launch the first wave of human attacks on their enemies.
Wang Luyao looked at these young men one by one from left to right, as if to engrave everyone's face deeply in his mind, he tried his best to control his balance, turned into the way of his head and feet, and then gave them a heavy military salute.
When he turned his head, somehow, he remembered a sentence that he had known a long time ago: "Mom, I will become a firefly!" ”
