33. Countdown (6.5)

It was now half past ten in the evening, and it had been almost four and a half hours since the first attack by the unknown creature. With the help of a reasonable mobilization capacity and a large number of drones, the evacuation of personnel from the entire Shanghai metropolitan area has been roughly completed.

All that remains is to send the ordinary people who have been evacuated to temporary safety into space, so that the fleet and the planetary defense force can slowly take care of the savage creatures on the ground, and there are many fewer worries.

But in reality, this second phase of the evacuation also carries certain risks.

In addition to the other nine metropolitan areas, if we simply talk about the Shanghai metropolitan area, the population evacuated in the first phase is concentrated in three places.

The first is the Shanghai metropolitan area near the East China Sea, this large man-made island at this moment on the island about five million people stranded, of course, because of the huge volume of space elevators, so a large number of people have been transferred to the Earth ring, and the remaining five million people will also be transferred to the Earth ring at a very fast speed.

The second is a few large gathering points along the coastline of the Shanghai metropolitan area, which are people who have not yet had time to go to the space elevator base station. The number is about three million.

The third was a crowd gathered around dozens of McRoss-class transports that had landed close to the interior.

The first place with the least risk in these three types of areas, because it has 50% of the strength of the planetary defense force around the Shanghai metropolitan area, a steady stream of drones and heavy equipment, transported from the factory in the Earth's star ring to the ground through the space elevator that transports people, and then re-transports people to the star ring.

In addition, the space elevator itself has complete defense facilities, so it can be said that the space elevator was intentionally designed as a facility with good defense power when it was built. In addition, there is a UN Starfleet cruiser suspended in the sky above each space elevator ground base station, although the umbrella built by a cruiser can theoretically ensure that the entire earth is protected from the threat of saturation attack, but in fact, it is limited by the earth's artificial defense mechanism, atmosphere, altitude, and ammunition problems, and only the base can be completely protected by 100%, and the strength of protection will weaken with the increasing distance. This is also why Starfleet dropped 10 cruisers to hold up the umbrella, because the situation on Earth is too complicated.

The second safest are the gathering points around the coastline, first of all, because they are close to the cruisers, and they are also protected by a large number of troops and drones, especially unmanned ships at sea, and this heavy weapon platform is able to provide them with very direct protection. And in the area where they are located, all the unknown creatures that originally appeared here have been wiped out. Basically, the ordinary people there only need to take the transport plane to the space elevator base station and take the space elevator, then it is safe.

And the most risky thing is the people in the third place, first of all, the capacity of these dozens of McRoss-class transport ships is not enough to transport all the people at once, on the other hand, this place is close to the inland, the supply line is relatively long, although a large number of materials have been airdropped by the orbital fleet, but it is certainly not as large and complete as the space elevator directly transported down.

And because this area is close to the battle zone with unknown creatures, the number of drone losses is also very large.

But in fact, these are not the most important things, because in ground combat, even a high-ranking soldier like An Kang is confident that he can hold the McRoth-class transport ship, not to mention that the transport ship itself has a certain self-defense ability and can be used as a fortress. Therefore, ground combat is not the focus, and the biggest risk comes from the process of heaven.

The artillery type among the unknown creatures has a certain ability to fight against the air, so when they took off from Mai Er, they learned the idea of the defense commander of Mai San, who had taken off before, - to send an ducted aircraft to escort the flight, and to act as a meat shield when necessary.

Because before the McRoss 2 took off, the Maxrose 3 had already taken off, and during the ascent process before the main engine was turned on, it had been bombarded by the shelling type, but fortunately, the defense commander of Mai San had assigned some ducted aircraft to accompany the flight before, blocking a few plasma that had not been intercepted by the single crystal laser emitter, so that the launch of Mai 3 went smoothly.

Of course, the shelling type was locked by the detection equipment of the front-line drone commander immediately after the shelling, and was quickly destroyed by air power, which caused the unknown creatures to seem to be more cautious in deciding whether to intercept or not, but no one can be sure that they will not start to ** as soon as their brains are pumped, so the danger remains, even if they are accompanied by drones.

Another danger lies in entering the escaping layer to the part of the universe that is actually the opening of wormholes where a large number of unidentified creatures appear.

As happened to the Maxross II, there may be a large number of wormholes opening around the ship, and then the Zerg airborne sacs rush towards the landing ship like Diarrhea.

However, in the case of the Maxrose II, it can actually be found that the airborne sacs slow down when approaching the ship, so it can also be speculated that the purpose of the unknown creature may be to capture the ship and capture the people on board, rather than destroying the transport.

But who knows if it will be the case next time? Therefore, there can still be no fluke mentality.

If there is anything that can make people feel at ease, it is that the power of the universe is still in the hands of humans. And through two launches, two risk points in the transport ship evacuation plan have been identified, which is a good thing for subsequent launches, because at least we know how to respond, and Starfleet and Star Defense Force orbital fleets have also sent some ships to the predetermined location where the transport ship flies out of the atmosphere.

Then, there is basically protection throughout the flight.

Judging from the three risk points discovered, the first is a ground attack, the second is a ground interception when the transport ship takes off, and the third is a frantic attack in low-earth orbit. It is such a process from the ground to the sky to the universe, so if you push it according to the logic of a normal person, the next time is likely to be the attack of the unknown creature fleet.

In fact, if that's the case, then it's the human race that is happy, because the one with the strongest space power in the known universe is the UN, even if the UN Starfleet Solar System Fleet is only a local garrison (and the only one of them) subfleet, it also has forty-three cruisers, five supercarriers and other auxiliary ships, and this does not include the battleships and orbital bombers belonging to the Planetary Defense Force's orbital fleet.

However.......

Mai Er's crisis continues...

If the crisis suffered by Mai Er is a script, then it is obvious that the screenwriter is biased in favor of unknown creatures, and the close-in laser array of the cruiser Richard, the good guy, who is getting closer and closer, is slaughtering the biological airborne sacs that rushed out of the wormhole with terrifying efficiency and precision, and killing the twenty-one wormholes that opened around Mai Er with jump missiles.

However, there was an airborne bag that miraculously dodged the strafing of the good guy Richard and Mai Er's close-in lasers and smashed on Mai Er's main deck.

The 1 in a million chance is just that.

Suddenly, the bio-airborne sacs burst, and thousands of unidentified biota rushed towards several breaches in the Third Armor Belt.

Ah, Ma Jinhua girl z is really good-looking.
