Chapter 22: The Ark Dispatches

Inside the LifeFreedom mothership, Xia Long said to the four builders of the subship: "No. 1 and No. 2, number the meteorites flying towards our area of responsibility, pay close attention, No. 3 and No. 4 lead the other robots to be in charge of the nuclear-powered missile launcher, and work together to launch missiles at the best time to prevent these meteorites from hitting New Blue Star."

The deployment of the major city-states is still very standardized, and the first line of blocking is formed by artificial satellite fortresses and large warships in outer space; In the high altitude of New Blue Star, various small and medium-sized warships are responsible for further processing some meteorite fragments; And those freely organized spaceships, if they are not afraid of death, can also participate, and those who cause effective results can be exchanged for meritorious service.

Xia Long also understood the purpose of the No. 3 city-state to establish many temporary bases, after these meteorites were processed layer by layer, there must have been a lot of meteorite fragments that fell, and the damage of the impact had been minimized and weakened, and these temporary bases just collected these meteorite fragments rich in precious resources.

"Compared with these city-states that have developed for thousands of years, even if I have a lot of advanced technology and technology, and I have the Life Freedom Number, it still seems too small! They have long analyzed this meteorite rain thoroughly and are ready to collect resources! This time we just worked for Cass and didn't get paid yet. There was no one around, Xia Long said to Alice with a sigh.

Alice saw the unwillingness in Xia Long's heart, and comforted: "I remember that there is a saying in your hometown, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, you can't expect you to win every time, last time you captured two large warships, this defeat will be a tie with Cass!" You're the captain of the ship, the head of the farm, and you can't be discouraged by this defeat! ”

It's just that the next thing hit Xia Long even more, and there were still a few hours before the meteorite came, but Cass took Ark 3 to meet him. Needless to say, it is understandable that the Ark, which was not upgraded hundreds of years ago, was able to capture the meteorite that was supposed to hit New Blue Star and transform it into a satellite fortress.

Now it is even more possible, after getting close to the meteorites that are coming this time, launch nuclear-powered missiles to reduce the speed of these meteorites, control the trajectory, and finally let the New Blue Star capture, orbit around, and gradually mine the resources on the meteorite in the future!

Alice couldn't see this situation: "This Cass is really insidious, what is out of the safety of New Blue Star, what polls, what you have the obligation and responsibility to help deal with the meteorite rain, all of them are to create opportunities for him, so that he can mine these meteorite resources with more peace of mind!"

Xia Long smiled bitterly: "If you lose, you lose, I used to just sell some green agricultural products, and I asked Cass for this proposal before, all of which were to make a little cheap, Cass didn't care at all, I did a lot of business, but I was afraid that after this meteorite rain, his reputation among the people of New Zealand Star would skyrocket."

Seeing that Xia Long was discouraged, Alice was also affected and emotional, and naively proposed that she could leave New Blue Star now and let the major city-states deal with the meteorite rain, or also scavenge a little resources on the meteorite.

Xia Long shook his head again and again and said: "My Miss Alice, as a diplomatic spokesperson, you can't be too emotional, now that I'm leaving, I'm afraid that the people of New Zealand Star will be even more disgusted, I came to deal with the meteorite rain this time, the main thing is to restore a little image."

As for looting a little resource, it is even more unacceptable, compared to the major city-states, even if Xia Long desperately loots this time, how much can it be, it is better to put this time and energy on planning the escape route, and the settlement agreement reached with Cass is only a few hours of countdown!

While slowly waiting, the first few large meteorites to arrive have been processed by Ark 3 led by Cass and entered an orbit around New Blue Star, unable to collide.

Computer: Meteorite No. A will enter the range of nuclear-powered missiles in half an hour, and meteorite No. B will also enter the range after 35 minutes. 3 transport-type spaceships are found approaching, and they are receiving trusted encrypted communications, do they receive them?

After learning that it was Oscar, Xia Long's mood improved, and he looked at Alice on the side and smiled: "My beautiful diplomatic spokesman, it seems that our diplomatic work has achieved substantial results for the first time!"

A few minutes later, the 3 transport ships accompanying Oscar entered the interior of the Life Freedom, watching Xia Long greet him personally, Oscar liked this feeling very much, it was not easy to be greeted by the captain of the current most advanced spaceship, on the grounds of drinking watermelon juice, the two came to the conference room that blocked the signal again.

"I didn't expect us to meet for the third time so soon, Captain Xia Long, you can bring me a lot of good luck! I was summoned separately by Lord Howard, the Lord of our City-State No. 6, and this time I came under his cover, and Lord Castle brought you a special gift! Although the situation outside was tense due to the meteorite rain, Oscar spoke in a tone of little excitement and joy.

After hearing this, Xia Long was also infected, and replied with a sincere smile: "Then I wish you a brighter and brighter future in the future, what kind of special gift did your city lord give me?" I'm afraid it's not as simple as the protective armor I said before, right? ”

"To be the captain of the Freedom of Life at such a young age is truly extraordinary! 1000 sets of protective armor, 200 sets are the latest product; In addition, there are 50 kilograms of high-concentration plutonium fuel, which is what our Howard City Lord means, and I guess we can cooperate often in the future! Oscar still said in disbelief, not believing that his city lord would let him bring such a precious thing to Xia Long.

For this special gift, Xia Long was a little surprised, so much such a good nuclear fuel, enough for his life and freedom mothership to operate for a long time, his existing resources, can only allow the mothership to last a few years, those meteorites encountered on the way to New Zealand Star before, it seems that a lot of nuclear ore has been collected from them, but it would be good to have 3 kilograms after it is really refined!

"Every time I see Lord Oscar, I have good things, thank you so much for you and Lord Howard, I don't have anything to reciprocate now, but I have prepared two things, one is an electronic virus, one is the information of this virus, and a lot of information on stealth techniques is also in it, and I give it to Lord Howard, he must like it if he has seen it, I believe you have a way to use this electronic virus correctly!" After speaking, Xia Long handed over the two electronic files to Oscar.

Xia Long and Oscar's third meeting ended soon, the main task at present is to deal with the upcoming meteorite rain, although Xia Long has 10,000 regrets in his heart, but he also has to give Cass voluntary labor, starting the ark will make Cass gain a lot of prestige, and if he doesn't make a good effort, Cass, who has the support of the people, can have a suitable excuse to arrest himself, or even destroy!

Coming to No. 1 and No. 2, Xia Long said: "Calculate all kinds of data, prepare to launch nuclear-powered missiles, let us deal with the meteorite deviate from the orbit of New Blue Star, such a good resource, can not let New Blue Star get all of it!" ”

The first two meteorites No. A and B encountered by Xia Long's side, after being processed, failed to hit the New Blue Star, nor did they orbit the New Blue Star, but gradually moved away, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to encounter them again in the future.

This situation was naturally immediately understood by Cass, and he smiled disdainfully: "Xia Long, now I understand that I am using you as a gunman, it is too late, even if you dispose of all the meteorites over there, I will not lose much resources, after this meteorite rain, the resources obtained by our No. 3 city-state are definitely not what you and other city-state high-level can imagine!" ”

Xia Long looked at the "Big Dipper" not far from him in the universe, seven artificial satellite fortresses were jointly dealing with a large meteorite, after the nuclear-powered missile weakened the speed of the meteorite, the distance between the two sides reached a suitable range, and several precisely calculated laser beams carefully cut the meteorite.

Every time a piece of debris is cut off, the various functional spacecraft that are prepared nearby will collect the meteorite fragments together and bring them back to the satellite fortress for storage, and so on. This made Xia Long and Alice's hearts like knives, the area they were arranged by Cass was not very dense, and it took a long time to come to one, and there was no way to collect the resources above.

After getting acquainted with it for a while, maybe it will take a long time for the next meteorite to be dealt with by the seven fortresses, and more collection spaceships landed on this large meteorite and began to collect rich metal resources on it, and this large meteorite gradually shrank in Xia Long's gaze!

Seeing that the meteorite was about to come into close contact, the power systems of the seven satellite fortresses were activated, and the position was slightly changed, so that after the large meteorite passed through, all of them emitted stronger laser beams, breaking them down into meteorite fragments of different sizes, and even if these fragments hit New Blue Star, the damage would be weakened a lot.

And the second line of defense in the New Blue Starry Sky, all kinds of warships are active at this time, locking these meteorite fragments one by one, sending out high-strength capture forks, and after firmly tying these meteorite fragments, they immediately increase the power to avoid being pulled by the meteorite fragments.

Xia Long has been watching New Blue Star's response to this large meteorite, and he admires it very much, from the initial nuclear-powered missile to weaken the speed, to the laser cutting and decomposition, after entering the New Blue Star atmosphere, this large meteorite has been weakened a lot in terms of mass and speed, and the spacecraft of the second layer of defense is fully capable of catching it with a capture fork.

Xia Long sighed in his heart, a Kas will not be able to cope with it, if all the major city-states reach a unified opinion, they want to arrest themselves, I am afraid that there is no hope of escaping, if they want to have enough time and conditions for development, they can only use more diplomatic means!

Howard, the lord of City-State 6, chose to give him a big gift, apparently realizing Cass's strength and needing a new power to cause trouble for Cass. I have been letting the No. 1 city-state attract everyone's attention before, but secretly developing its own No. 3 city-state, this is good, Ark 3 has been upgraded and activated.

Howard is now very unhappy in his heart, watching Cass take Ark 3 as a pioneer, dispose of several large meteorites that came first, and enter the gravitational control range of New Blue Star, these means will undoubtedly make the residents of New Blue Star worship feverishly, with popular support, I am afraid that in the future, Cass will have more say in the major city-states and be able to issue some instructions.

Xia Long looked at the Yiren beside him and said with a smile: "Miss Alice, I'm afraid that life will not be easy in the future, contact Oscar and Dirk more in the future, bring us the greatest benefits, resources, buy time, collect intelligence, and analyze in detail, you will have to use your brains more!" ”

Alice is also worried now, but she also squeezed out a smile: "Don't worry, while no one is competing for my job yet, I will definitely do a good job in things within my scope of work, so you can build a new life freedom ship for me!" ”
