"General, I think we're in trouble."

A communication light screen suddenly appeared in front of Vice Admiral Lin Kaifeng, commander of the UN Starfleet Solar System Fleet.

On the communication screen, an officer of the Starfleet Intelligence Agency looked serious and uploaded several pictures and several simulated videos at the same time. In the picture information, the number of unidentified creatures on Earth continues to increase, and in the latest global scan, Fleet Intelligence has also obtained information from the observation department - below the mantle, a suspected structure is expanding, and the spatial structure of the entire Earth is beginning to change unexplained, and a powerful energy source is also detected to be forming beneath the earth's crust.

"What is this? Are there any dangers? Can you make it stop? Lieutenant General Lin Kaifeng asked several questions in a row.

"This is the data and observation report sent back from the planetary detection site of the Earth's ring a minute ago, which shows that a strange structure has appeared beneath the earth's crust."

"Is it possible that the remains of a former underground vault?"

"From what we have, the Earth Shelter program didn't really start 400 years ago, only a few exploratory boreholes were built, and now they're all national parks. According to some existing data, it is very likely that the unidentified objects under the earth's crust have a direct relationship with the unidentified creatures. On the other hand, with the appearance of this unidentified structure, a high-energy reaction under the earth's crust has been detected worldwide, but so far there have been no casualties or damage. ”

Lieutenant General Lin Kaifeng once again popped up three light screens in front of him, and the scenes inside the three light screens were different, but from the outside, they were very calm and peaceful, and there was no change in peacetime.

"General, but there's nothing unusual going on on the surface above those high energy sources. In addition, there seems to be some kind of transformation in the structure of space around the Earth, but this does not prevent ordinary navigation and jumps or other methods of faster-than-light travel. The same goes for the use of weapons, nothing seems to have changed. As for the computer's estimation results, we have calculated many times and there is no problem. ”

"But anyway, this is probably the work of an unknown creature, and we're going to destroy him, Captain, is there anything we can do to stop this from happening?"

The captain of the intelligence bureau in the light screen shook his head and said: "At present, the only thing that can directly interfere should be the unknown structure under the earth's crust, and the high-energy sources underground should probably also be contacted. ”

"Shouldn't this be your intelligence business!"

"I'm sorry General, but..."

"Forget it, we'll take care of it ourselves, besides, keep an eye on all the alien anti-human forces and the Confederacy's intelligence, those deadly bastards are likely to take advantage of this time to come over and play a terrorist attack."

"Understood."

After hanging up the command of communication with the personnel of the Naval Intelligence Bureau, Vice Admiral Lin Kaifeng stood up and paced.

The sudden attack of the unknown creature caught people off guard, but the unknown creature did not have the power to decide the outcome of the battle, and now they were in a position of negative resistance on the ground, and they could quickly solve it if they came to Edward. And at present, the evacuation of ordinary people is basically going to the final stage, and the redundant capacity of the Earth's rings is enough to carry everyone evacuated from the surface, and there are still a large number of flights and evacuation routes to other planets or artificial colonies, so there is no problem at all.

However, the origin and purpose of the unknown creature are not clear, and according to computer speculation, at least half of the citizens on the surface of the earth have been captured by the unidentified creature as prisoners, and how to rescue it is a headache.

With a long sigh, he took the tea handed to him by the first mate, leaning against the corner of the wall and browsing the transmitted information: "Are Maxrose II and Maxrose III safe now?" ”

"The Mercross III has already entered the berthing area of the Earth's star ring, and the Maxrose II is out of danger just now, well, the crew of the good guy Richard has performed well in this riot, and..."

"Oh, I heard that the crisis on Mai Er was actually solved by two young people?" Lieutenant General Lin Kaifeng, who was sipping tea, interrupted the first mate's words, because he already knew that the first mate's words must be like a work report. And now that it's his time off, there's no need to listen to that standard answer.

“？” Although the first mate will be exposed to some information, the first mate, whose job is mainly based on his own ship, obviously did not receive such information.

"Jack, my old partner, don't report on the 10-minute break." The lieutenant general waved his hand: "Let's say something interesting, the unknown creature invasion on Mai Er was thwarted by two teenagers, well, one is wearing a biological armor that Lei Yun's company doesn't know when and how, and the other is driving an eighteen-meter-high combat robot." Does it sound like an anime or a manga, a plot in a novel? ”

"Isn't it great that the excavator can be used as a turret if it is changed."

"I've heard that they're very good, and the things that these kids drive or wear."

"This is normal, Lieutenant General, you also know that in terms of performance alone, civilian products can be the best."

"Although I am not in the Army, I have a hunch that in the future, the Army may no longer rely only on drones as the main force." The lieutenant general drank the last sip of tea from his teacup, placed it in the recycling cabinet, and rushed back to his seat.

"Pick me up Rear Admiral Edward and Rear Admiral Johnny, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Wings of carrier-based fighters will be dispatched to Earth to escort the Myross-class transport ships."

In the silence of the universe, where you can barely see the Earth, an iron asteroid with a diameter of three kilometers floats silently in it.

Suddenly, a behemoth suddenly appeared out of nothingness, the supercarrier of the UN Starfleet.

The three-kilometer-diameter asteroid still looked small in front of its massive body, and after just five minutes, the behemoth disappeared into nothingness again, and the three carrier-based aircraft it released appeared in low-Earth orbit after a flash of light.

"Edward, I need your people to figure out what this thing is talking about, and destroy it if you can. If it doesn't work, then we'll have to loosen the soil for our home planet. Rest assured, I've got the Council's approval, after all, a few more completely repairable craters won't be a problem for a planet than if the Earth were blown up. “
