To date, the Earth has been born 4.6 billion years ago, and human civilization has been around for more than millions of years. From the beginning of its birth, human beings have had a yearning for the starry sky. Through some of the ancient ruins that have survived to this day, we can always find the worship of the stars by the ancients.

The vast starry sky, the small life.

The two have always seemed irreconcilable, but the thirst for knowledge still drives people to invest generations of time and energy to explore the endless world of the stars.

From the regret of Wan's flight, to the excitement of the Apollo moon landing, to today's continuous exploration, the pace of human exploration of the starry sky has never stopped, and we have set our eyes on the starry sky above our heads again and again, and looked at the wider range again and again.

Since the outbreak of the interstellar war with gluttony, under the pressure of survival, the pace of human exploration of the starry sky has been passively accelerated.

In the starry sky, a few bright silver rays of light flickered, and they were flying machines from Earth, returning from the front line of Pluto, heading for Titan.

"Brother Liang, those gluttons just now are not enjoyable."

A young soldier with a scar on his face half-lying in a sci-fi cockpit, chewing gum in his mouth, complained to his captain.

Talking was one of the bullet-type vehicles, which was very fast, flying almost at a rate of thousands of kilometers per minute.

Such a speed is unimaginable in the interior of the planet, but in this starry sky without the influence of the atmosphere, it seems insignificant.

fo

Its nearby companions are all of the same model as it, plus it is a total of six.

The bright silver surfaces of these aircraft were covered in charred black marks, and the tops were pitted, apparently after a fierce battle. Two of the aircraft also had a tow rope attached to it, dragging the other unpowered companion forward.

This is a stray fire individual aerial vehicle, which belongs to the Earth Defense Line, the battleship Tarzan, number 073.

"Gangzi, I found that your breath is bigger than your athlete's foot. If it weren't for Captain Wu of Heavenly Sword to block it for you just now, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to come back. ”

"Oh, I'm not careless, I didn't flash. Patronized and killed the gluttonous fireship, and didn't notice that it was locked. ”

It turned out that the one who spoke was the drifting fire pilot who was dragged and flying in the middle, named Li Chenggang, nicknamed Gangzi.

"When you notice, I'm afraid you'll all turn to ashes." Another teammate interjected, laughing and quipping.

Hundreds of times they have carried out missions, and none of them have brushed shoulders with death. This time, my comrades-in-arms, maybe they won't be seen again next time.

The scar on Gangzi's face was left by the two of them when they were hand-to-hand fighting when they were broken by a gluttonous warrior in a battle.

In that battle, Gangzi was surrounded by gluttony, and when he was about to be killed, a passing angel rescued him.

That angel is beautiful and impressive.

It's a bit far, in short, hundreds of times between life and death, and to this day, they can laugh at death.

"Ou You, it's not interesting to talk about this. Didn't I kill that fireship! It's worth it to trade me. ”

Although Gangzi's name sounds like a northerner, he is actually a southerner, living in Xiangxi, and speaks with a slight accent.

"!" Wu Liang, who was the captain, scolded and said with a heavy face: "Only by being alive can we continue to output." Our Earth Defense Line is now lacking in combat power, and no matter who it is, it is a loss to die one.

No one can be careless in the war, for yourselves, for your loved ones on the ground, for the sake of the motherland, and for the sake of the future of our civilization. ”

Listening to the captain's words, the team members couldn't help but be silent.

After two months of continuous high-intensity fighting, many comrades-in-arms have become a name engraved on the monument. The war has been fought until now, and every minute and second has become a test of human nature.

Death, survival, future, war are all words that become extremely heavy with the arrival of war.

"Alright, let's not talk about it, I'm almost at the portal soon." Wu Liang suddenly interrupted everyone's silence.

In sight, a portal four or five hundred meters high stood silently above Titan.

This is the permanent portal ordered by the commander-in-chief of the defense line, General Qi Lin, two days after the outbreak of the war. Considering the problem of power projection and the security of the space gate, the portal was chosen to be set on Titan.

It only takes fifteen minutes to fly from here to the front line of the war, which not only ensures the problem of combat power projection on this side of the earth, but also ensures that the Daystar can strike at the enemy who wants to attack the space gate at any time.

In order to ensure the safety of the portal, the Earth has six permanent warships here, and at the space gate of Titan, a large defense base is being built rapidly.

It is said that in future planning, this Titan will be transformed into a spacefortress as a bridgehead against gluttony.

It is foreseeable that if this satellite, which is more than 2,000 kilometers in diameter, is really turned into a space fortress, the current situation will certainly change for the better.

The Drifters passed through the flight trajectory that had been erected on the ground of Titan, and continued to approach the space gate.

Looking down through the glass, dense automatic firepower constantly changes direction as they move, including even a large electromagnetic railgun, a super war weapon that can take out a large cross-sized warship with a single blow.

Being pointed at by these cannons, even though they knew that they could not attack, everyone still sweated in their hearts.

Passing through the blue whirlpool-like space door, the picture in front of me suddenly lit up, and under the illumination of the light, a large building complex with a sense of technology and oppression coexisted in sight.

This is the lunar base, which is responsible for the logistics of the entire Earth's defense line. The Moon Base was built during a two-year period of major construction and was put into use half a year before the outbreak of the war, with three active and two large military ports under construction, which are large enough to dock warships of the Daystar class.

The whole base is divided into two parts, above ground and underground, of which the ground is mainly for defensive weapons, the extension of the military port, and the underground is the main body of the base, covering an area of more than 2,000 hectares, integrating defense, construction, maintenance, logistics and many other functions, it is the largest giant space construction center of human beings in the solar system.

Following the guidance beacon projected in the air, everyone approached the lunar base.

When it got close to a certain point, the announcement of the aircraft sounded.

"This is the Earth Star Moon Base of the Solar System, please inform me of your identity and intentions."

Wu Liang replied skillfully: "The Taishan ship of the Earth Defense Line has a Drift Fire Clan, number 073, and the captain Wu Liang. Come and repair the aircraft and replenish supplies. ”

While speaking, Wu Liang operated and sent the order issued by the command headquarters.

"Reviewing applications!"

"Yes!"

"Identity verification in progress!"

As this voice sounded, the surrounding beacons suddenly emitted a ray of light, scanning the aircraft and Wu Liang inside from beginning to end.

"The identity information is verified."

"Welcome to the Moon Base, Sergeant Wu Liang. Follow the beacon signs and take the C823 entrance where you will be moored at Port 13.

In accordance with the Line Management Regulations, you and your squad will have two Earth Day holidays during the maintenance period, so please enjoy your vacation time to the fullest. At the same time, I would like to thank you and your team members for your contribution to defending the planet. ”

As the electronic synthesis sounded, Wu Liang's tense heart finally let go.

He let go of his hands and adjusted the aircraft to autopilot. Following the beacons lit up in the sky, the group of six soon arrived at a crater on the moon, followed by a headlong down.

After a brief period of darkness, the light suddenly bloomed – a busy world unfolded in front of everyone.

In the port number of the lunar base, Area A is used to dock warships, Area B is used to dock the combat armor of the Xingtian series, and Area C is specially used to dock individual aircraft of the Driftfire series.

As soon as you enter the gate of the base and pass through the metal passage, your eyes suddenly open up, and the huge underground space is brightly lit, and there are drifting fire aircraft coming and going everywhere.

Some of them, like Wu Liang, had just been withdrawn from the battlefield, and some were preparing to rush to the front line to fight against gluttony.

The whole base was so busy that it was impossible to find a single one idle.

The autopilot system docked the aircraft firmly at the parking position, and the logistics personnel who had been waiting here immediately drove the tractor to come up.

When they saw the thirteen gray, five silver, and two golden stars on the fuselage of Wu Liang's aircraft, the maintenance personnel couldn't help but be in awe.

That meant that there were thirteen gluttonous warriors, five light warships, and two medium-sized warships that fell under Wu Liang's guns.

Wu Liang patted his old buddy and said to the maintenance personnel: "Due to the urgency of the situation during this flight, several extreme operations were carried out, because of the slight damage to part of the structure of the fuselage caused by gravity overload.

In addition, the belly of the fuselage and the left rear side were also hit by gluttonous weapons, and the protective shield was pierced, and the losses were not small, so I trouble you. ”

"Smack!"

The maintenance staff saluted: "Please rest assured, leave it to us."

According to the latest directives, the Ministry of Armament requested that some models be equipped with newly developed miniature neutron bombs. Based on your past record, you are already eligible to apply, do you want to apply to equip you? ”

"Miniature neutron bombs?" Wu Liang repeated.

"Yes, the newly developed miniaturized thermonuclear bomb developed by the Torch R&D Center is more penetrating than the warhead used in the Drift Fire itself, and its destructive power against warships is greatly increased.

The relevant data, as well as the conditions of use, have been implanted in the virtual training module of the base. ”

The virtual training cabin, a virtual interactive device specially developed by the Torch R&D Center for pilots, can simulate different space battlefields according to needs, from a whole fleet to one or two individual squads, which can maximize the actual combat ability of pilots.

Hearing the introduction of the logistics staff, Wu Liang grinned, showed an excited smile on his face, rubbed his hands and said, "Haha, it seems that the two days of vacation have to be busy again." Gluttonous turtle sons, wait for Lao Tzu to finish his studies, and then come to have a good time with you! ”
