Chapter 409: Surviving Heroes and Approaching Hostility
The turbulent fleet rushed back, and all they had was an empty space station, and a quiet space graveyard of warships and civilian ships.
Oh, no, this time there was a group of survivors, who had built a defensive line in the central control room, desperately blocking the attack of the mysterious enemy.
Moreover, the mood of this group of survivors was extremely nervous, and after seeing the turquoise reinforcements who rushed here, they also raised their guns and fired fiercely at them, so that there were no casualties.
The emotions of this group of survivors were finally calmed down, and the turbulent fleet, as well as the entire parliament and military, could not wait to understand the whole battle.
Commander Salen, with a beautiful military resume, was born into a traditional family of the Turkian army, and his ancestors have been soldiers for generations, and the earliest can be traced back to the old history of the unification war of the Turks before entering the universe.
Then this young man participated in several local wars, because of the courage of the battle, coupled with the relationship of his family, so he was promoted all the way, and finally was temporarily transferred to this space station to gild, which can be regarded as a springboard for the transformation from the Marine Corps to the fleet member.
Now he has become the surviving hero after the bloody battle, which immediately caused a sensation in the country, after all, the incident of the collective disappearance of the space station personnel some time ago has kept the turbulent government busy and comforting the families of the emotionally charged missing people.
"It's the Reaper, the Reaper is back, the Reaper is real, not a children's bedtime story!"
After returning to their home planet, Saren and his soldiers rested for a few days before being summoned by the council to participate in this public hearing.
At that time, the atmosphere was silent, and the parliamentarians participating in the hearing did not know how to continue their questioning for a while, and the various news media below were busy recording and broadcasting the whole process.
"Ahem, Colonel Salen, the Reapers, are just something you imagined because of your emotional instability and mental trauma after the war, and we understand that it must have been a brutal battle, so we now want to know what enemy caused all this, is it a strange race?"
"No! That's the Reaper! It looks like a big black steel squid! It's thousands of meters high! The back can be opened up to release a group of small reapers! And the strange mechanical swarm that can turn us into wood in an instant! Our compatriots have been captured! In the end, the Reaper turns into a disgusting monster with a body mixed with steel, and attacks us in turn! It's the Reaper! The Reaper is real!"
...
...
...
Well, sometimes no one believes the truth, especially when it sounds like the madness of a mentally wounded person.
Listen to what you're talking about?
"Colonel Salen, we really understand your emotions at the moment, as for the missing compatriots turning into monsters to attack you, the psychiatrist also gave an answer, this is out of doubts and fears for the missing compatriots, and fears that it will happen to you as well, we sincerely hope that you should try to adjust your spirit and cooperate with the treatment. ”
"Also, we're interested in the kind of mechanical swarm you are talking about, which may be a new type of attack for a strange civilization, and more likely the key to the collective disappearance of space station personnel, and we want you to say more about that. ”
It can't be helped, it sounds reliable on that point, and it can explain why the space station has no signs of fighting, and everyone seems to have left voluntarily.
The hearing was a twist and turn, going on and off for several days before the parliament finally got the information it wanted.
After all, there were no images or records left at that time, and all the electronic equipment was overloaded and shut down, and a large part of it was directly burned.
So the only source of information was Commander Salen and his men.
After three days, Saren and his soldiers were finally able to cooperate with the investigation.
According to their confessions, this mysterious enemy is an unknown strange race, and they and the surviving soldiers have not seen what their people look like, because this strange race has never appeared from the beginning to the end.
They sent out a large number of technological creations made of steel and organisms, presumably using an unknown bio-modification technology.
At the same time, there are the overwhelming mechanical swarms, which can overload electronic devices and shield signals, and can burrow into the body of the organism and follow the blood vessels to the nerve centers of the brain, thus cutting off all neurological reflex activity and turning the organism into a piece of living wood.
Their warship is also an upright steel squid shape, and they call the battleship the Reaper, and those strange races hide in the battleship, sending wave after wave of ground modification troops to attack the space station.
Coupled with the fact that there was no prior precaution against electronic overload, the two sides were in an extremely unequal position from the beginning of this encounter.
The parliament and the military are satisfied, they get the enemy information they want, and they can then turn it into a positive propaganda in their favor.
A strange race, with extremely advanced biological modification technology, it is speculated that it may master genetic modification technology, is extremely aggressive, extremely hostile, and has no willingness to engage peacefully.
As for the warship called the Reaper, the staff speculated that it was just a psychological tactic, and it is estimated that this strange race will also regard the Reaper as a bedtime story, and then further extend it to name its own warship, which is similar to the naming habits of warships of other races, and always likes to give some domineering or auspicious names.
For example, the Azari people, which is currently the largest dreadnought-class battleship in the entire prosperous star region, the "Destiny Transcendental", and even the Turks, who have the most powerful military technology and comprehensive military strength, are also extremely afraid of this dreadnought-class, and after countless simulations and deductions, they have come to the conclusion that unless there are more than three main fleets at the same time, they cannot fight head-on.
All in all, a large amount of public opinion propaganda immediately began in Turui.
"A powerful alien alien race that is extremely hostile to the Turks! must unite to find them, defeat them, and save our people!"
Propaganda like this is the current mainstream of the Turkish language, the Turks are an extremely bloody race, and once there is an enemy, they will be firmly united, fighting to the death, and not afraid of sacrifice at all.
War hero Colonel Salen was promoted again, he was transferred to a main fleet as commander, and some of the surviving soldiers with him were transferred with Salen, and the rest were transferred to the space prison warden along the distant galaxy, and these soldiers were characterized as irreversibly injured and unable to continue the frontal battle.
Immediately after the latest order, Salen's fleet will travel to the distant Rim system, and in addition to the mission against Harbor of Virtue, it will also be tasked with monitoring and garrisoning the Curtain of Extinction repeater.
On this point, it is natural to extend another speculation of the Turkish military.
