Chapter 5: The Beautiful Blue Planet
The energy-abundant Potbelly King is returning at full speed and is about to be thrown into the arms of the Water Country Star.
Lethe hasn't closed his eyes for a long time.
Slept on the spot in the command room, and when he woke up, he learned that Naoki was busy repairing the damage to the Potbelly King, and the others were preparing to enter the atmosphere.
Everything is going in a good direction, and as the captain, Lechuan can finally relax.
"Brother Chuan, maybe you should go and meet that eldest lady." Xunhe reminded.
Lethe Chuan wondered: "Why do you want to see her?" ”
"We're going back to Watertown, can't we bring her to our base?"
"Hmm...... Again, she should be asked where she needs to disembark. ”
Mu Bai said with a smile: "If you still ask something, you will take it back to the base directly, put it on the banquet, and solve Brother Chuan's lifelong event." ”
Lechuan looked serious, and said to Mu Bai: "Lao Bai, you have tried your best to match me and her, what are your intentions?" ”
"What can I do, am I not thinking of you?"
"And I have to thank you?"
"Thank you for free, as long as you can forget the past and work hard to move forward, it is the greatest reward for us."
Lethe snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Watching Lechuan walk out of the command room, Xun He said to Mu Bai with palpitations: "Lao Bai, don't always deliberately expose his scars in front of Brother Chuan. ”
Mu Bai disagreed, and said indignantly: "Do you want to see that Brother Chuan always thinking about that little girl?" What's so good about that little girl, she dares to abandon Brother Chuan, she doesn't know what to do! ”
"That little girl is really not much better, but he can't stand Brother Chuan, he likes it, after all, the two of them are green plum boiled horses."
"What's wrong with the green plum boiled horse? Is that little girl as beautiful as our eldest lady? Is our eldest lady noble? ”
"What, our eldest lady, we haven't said a word to her."
"Just say that she is not worthy of Brother Chuan!"
"A match is a match, but I don't think Brother Chuan likes her, and she doesn't necessarily like Brother Chuan."
"That's why we need to help the trouble, and you can learn from me in the future."
Lethe came to his lounge, stood in front of the door, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, when he heard a "click".
The door opened from the inside, and Rin Qiu came into view, and it was obvious that she was about to go out.
"I've got something for you." Lethe explained.
"What's the matter?"
"We're about to return to Watertown."
"No wonder I feel that gravity on the ship is changing."
"Where you need to disembark, we can send you there."
"I'd like to see the Water Country Star from here."
Lechuan was a little surprised by Rinqiu's answer, but he didn't think much about it.
"Come with me."
Lethe River takes Rin Qiu to the observation room, where he can see everything outside through the transparent protective layer.
At this moment, a blue planet is in front of you.
She is so beautiful that more than 90% of the surface is covered by water, and less than 10% is land.
There are quite a few glaciers on land, and land suitable for living organisms is very scarce.
Therefore, every inch of land is more precious than gold.
The vitality of nature is a wonder that cannot be created by high technology.
The second home of mankind, the second home of mankind, has a similar appearance to the earth in ancient memories.
The descendants of the interstellar immigrants who have been displaced here can peek into part of the original home of their ancestors through the Water Country Star.
Perhaps one day, these lost wanderers, through their own efforts, will be able to cross the galaxy of the universe and return to the sacred and great earth.
"Our original intention was to preserve the ecological environment of this planet." Rin Qiu muttered, "That's why half of the population was relocated to Weiyue. ”
Lechuan didn't understand the purpose of Rinqiu's words, but he had heard of the history of Shuixiang Star and Wei Yue.
A long time ago, the ancestors came here, some of them stayed in Shuixiangxing, and some of them went to Weiyue.
The two sides agreed that the compatriots who stayed on the water town star could enjoy rich resources and a beautiful environment.
But the scientific and technological industry needs to be developed in a measured way to protect the planet's ecological environment.
And the compatriots who go to Weiyue need to overcome the harsh living environment in space.
As compensation, science and technology can be vigorously developed and industrial manufacturing can be carried out arbitrarily.
Rin Qiu sighed: "Unexpectedly, in the end, the contradiction broke out. ”
Lethe Chuan looked at Rin Qiu's back thoughtfully: "Do you think it's the fault of the Suxing Empress, that's why you went to deal with her?" ”
"What do you think?" Rin Qiu asked rhetorically.
"I don't know anything about our Empress, but I think she is at fault in some ways."
"For example?"
"She failed to control the major lords on the Water Country Star, and let these lords be driven by interests, deliberately causing contradictions and creating conflicts, so she was derelict in her duties."
"Then have you ever thought that there is a reason why the lords do not hide from the empress."
Lechuan said seriously: "I can't see what the empress has done wrong. Perhaps, but I don't know about it. ”
Rin Qiu was a little surprised: "This is your sincere idea?" ”
"I'm not related to the empress, and I haven't even seen her face, so there's no need to say good things about her."
Rin Qiu said meaningfully: "Just your words are enough to show that you are not ignorant of the empress. ”
"I'm not right about things, I'm not right about people, I can say whatever I think."
Rin Qiu stared at the water town star quietly, and after a moment, he slowly spoke.
"Do you know where Jishi City is?"
Lethe replied, "Jishi City is the capital of the Greenland Province, the base camp of your family, of course I know where it is. ”
"Take me there."
The Potbelly King slowed down and cautiously entered the atmosphere.
Due to the gravitational pull of the water town, the load of the ship increased rapidly, and the hull was damaged, and the situation was very bad.
Fortunately, with the help of the energy of No. 8 steel tank, it can barely hold up.
Most of the landmasses are located north of the planet's equator, and the southernmost area is the Greenland Province.
The armed forces of the Greenland Province should not be underestimated, and with this in mind, the Potbelly King did not dare to fly into its airspace rashly.
Wander around the periphery first and scout the situation cautiously.
"It's strange that the army of Greenland Province is gone." Xun He wondered.
Based on past experience, whenever an alien aircraft approaches, the armed forces of Greenland Province will respond immediately.
At the first time, warn and drive away uninvited guests.
Now, the armed forces have disappeared without a trace.
Lethe looked at Rin Qiu beside him: "What's the matter?" ”
Rin Qiu shook his head slightly: "I don't know. ”
Lethe hesitated and ordered to go directly to Jishi City.
Near the sky above Jishi City, from the big screen, a piece of gunpowder smoke can be faintly seen below, and the fire is spreading wantonly in the urban area.
In the command room, everyone was shocked, including Rinqiu.
Suddenly, Xunhe shouted: "Found a strong heat reaction!" It's a steel tank! ”
"Jishi City has been attacked?" Lethe looked at Rinqiu, seeking to solve his doubts.
Rin Qiu was silent, and a fierce color flashed in her eyes.
Xunhe: "There's a steel tan flying towards us!" ”
Naoki: "It's Wei Yue's military-type steel tank, numbered GT-J14, codenamed 'Beast'. The energy shield has been opened, and the weapon is being prepared. ”
Lethe commanded loudly: "Drive the ship high into the sky!" ”
Mu Bai: "Roger!" ”
Most steel tanks cannot fly in the air for a long time, and military steel tanks are no exception.
This can only be done with a small number of special strong steel tanks.
Therefore, escaping to the sky is a very easy and effective means of evasion.
Even if they are overtaken, at high altitude, the enemy's combat effectiveness will be reduced.
"I'm afraid, we won't be able to send you back to Jishi City." Lethe said to Rin Autumn with a serious face.
Rin Qiu's face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Wei Yue's movements, how can they be so fast. ”
"You dare to be unfavorable to the Empress of Suxing, and it is not surprising that Wei Yue has used thunderous means to counteract."
"No, they can't have reacted so quickly, unless...... They had premeditated. ”
The Potbelly King rose rapidly, and the steel tanks behind had almost given up the pursuit, but only the two steel tanks still did not give up.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Naoki had already finished aiming, and the railgun immediately fired.
With infinite energy, the energy shield can be continuously opened, but it does not mean that it can withstand all attacks.
If you are fired by an excessive salvo of artillery fire, or if you are surrounded by melee combat, the energy shield of the Potbelly King will not be able to withstand it at all.
That's why you need to flee first.
Now, only two steel tans have caught up, so they are here to die!
Bang!
A cannon roared, tearing the sky.
Immediately after that, the artillery fire did not stop, one after another.
No matter how arrogant the arms dealers are, when they see such wanton and indiscriminate bombing, they will call it waste.
The two steel tanks were blown into two, three, and four sections...... In the process of falling, it was torn into more and smaller pieces by artillery fire.
"Alright." Lethe glanced at Naoki, "Just kill them, if you make too much noise, you will cause trouble." ”
Naoki smiled: "Brother Chuan, if there are other ships or steel tanks to cover, I think we can carry out a counterattack." ”
"Wei Yue's army is not vegetarian, and the Potbelly King can't stand the toss anymore, thinking that his life is too long?"
"I'll just talk about it."
"Return to base first."
The base of the Divine Hand Regiment, located under the ocean.
The land of the Water Country Star is extremely precious, and the unofficial organization has no ability to occupy it at all.
Therefore, I had to build the base in the ocean, which was also more conducive to hiding.
In the twilight, the Potbelly King slowly descended from high altitude and came to a vast sea area.
The water and the sky are connected, and the vastness is boundless.
After confirming the coordinates again, Xun He broke out in a cold sweat and said in shock: "Brother Chuan, the entrance to the base ...... Gone! ”
Lechuan couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly looked at the situation outside through the big screen.
The half-pipe-shaped entrance that used to stand in the seawater is gone!
Lethe couldn't believe it: "Are you sure you're not in the wrong place?" ”
Xunhe replied: "I have confirmed again and again that there can be no mistake. ”
Mu Bai said: "The sailing route is correct. ”
Lethe's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
The entrance is gone, then the underwater base ...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Get close to the sea, I'll go down and have a look!"
