A storm that might have ruined the expedition, which was related to the future and destiny of the entire civilization, just disappeared without a trace. Except for the "interstellar dust" that was still slowly expanding and still moving forward along its own track.
Beyond the clouds, nothing in the universe changes.
The speed of the interstellar dust cloud has now exceeded the speed required to break away from the gravitational field of the solar system. They will rush out of the solar system and never come back. They will eventually merge with the vast and infinite deep space of the universe, and will never come back again.
It cannot be distinguished either.
The space carrier is still moving forward. But because of this incident, people have become more vigilant.
In the following time, except for some malfunctions of the aerospace carrier itself, no other unexpected events occurred. And these malfunctions of the aerospace carrier itself were also completely repaired by people's emergency repairs.
, and did not have any impact on the whole.
You know, among the 500 people on the space carrier, except for 90 spacecraft pilots, the rest are all logistics and command personnel. Even Zhao Changxing can go to the front line to repair the spacecraft in an emergency, and repair technology
I'm afraid it's better than others. Under such circumstances, it would be outrageous if another big problem happened to the space carrier.
A full 5 years and 25 days after the expedition, the space carrier finally successfully entered orbit and entered an orbit around the sun. At this moment, it is more than 66 million kilometers away from the Sedna star and about 4 million kilometers away from the Deep Sky star.
.
At this moment, the space carrier carries a total of about 4.3 million tons of fuel, of which a full 3.5 million tons have been consumed. Only about 800,000 tons of fuel are left for the Wu-1 combat spacecraft to be used in battle.
It is impossible to return to Sedna with such a small amount of fuel. People have only two choices, either die here, or win the war, and then obtain enough fuel on the deep space star to return to Sedna.
fuel.
Zhao Changxing has no retreat, the soldiers have no retreat, and human civilization...has no retreat.
After confirming the orbit, Zhao Changxing immediately issued instructions through the encrypted channel to Sun Weiping, the interim administrator of the human government who stayed behind on Sedna and had a temporary overview of the overall situation, and Xue Yun, the interim supreme committee member of the War Commission.
"Launch a projectile swarm attack."
Zhao Changxing said so.
The radio signal flew in the vast space for about three and a half minutes before arriving at the planet defense headquarters. Sun Weiping and Xue Yun looked at each other, and both saw a touch of excitement in each other's eyes.
The space carrier has been flying in the vast space for more than five years, and here on Sedna, 200,000 humans have also been preparing for more than five years.
Now, the most critical moment has finally arrived!
The number of interstellar missiles that have long been deployed in the launch platform at the end of the No. 1 space elevator is as high as 10. The warhead is loaded with a total weight of more than 500 tons and a total of more than 1 billion electromagnetic gun projectiles.
At this moment, they were thrown out at the same time and began to fly towards the deep sky star with an initial speed of 1.83 kilometers per second.
After leaving the launch platform and maintaining a certain distance between each other to ensure that they would not interfere with each other, they immediately started the acceleration process.
Calculated at their speed, it would take less than two months to reach the deep sky star.
The moment the interstellar missile arrives, it is the moment when the war truly begins and the fate is truly pronounced!
The human government officials and members of the war committee suppressed their emotions and excitement. After leaving the Planet Defense Command, they did not reveal the significance of this electromagnetic gun projectile cluster attack to the outside world.
At this moment, everyone except a few insiders believed that this was just an ordinary, routine attack. Even if the scale was a bit larger than before, there was nothing worthy of attention.
The more critical this moment is, the more important it is to keep it secret and the less likely it is to fall short.
After receiving the report from the Sedna planet, the space carrier also started a full system self-inspection and repair work. People need to ensure that when the final moment arrives, the space carrier can meet it in its peak state.
The 90 combat spaceship pilots are still not allowed to fly the spacecraft for practical training. However, the training they receive in the virtual machine is becoming more and more rigorous. The work and rest time is based on the requirements of wartime status, and when to rest.
, there are strict rules on when to train, when to eat, how much to eat, and what to eat.
In this tense atmosphere of an impending war, a piece of bad news made the commanders feel a little heavier.
"After precise measurement, the fatigue degree of the space carrier's main shaft material exceeded the predetermined level by about 10 percent. In addition, we also monitored that during the acceleration and deceleration process in the past five years, the main shaft has experienced approximately 10% fatigue damage.
A 60th of a degree bend.”
The main axis is the most important structure of the space carrier. If the space carrier is compared to the human body, then the main axis is the spine. Any change in it is worthy of people's attention.
Because the thrust of the main engine extends to all structures of the spacecraft through the main shaft. Different areas of the spacecraft are also connected together through the main shaft.
"The reason has not yet been found, but after evaluation, we believe that this level of fatigue and bending will basically not have a visible impact on the performance of the spacecraft in the short term. But in the long term, this matter deserves long-term attention."
Zhao Changxing nodded and ended the meeting to listen to the report.
Now that the war is about to come, I can't take care of this matter for the time being. Let's talk about it later.
Time is passing quickly, and all preparations and combat preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner. In the blink of an eye, the two-month period is coming.
At this moment, on the Deep Sky Star, Noli Ruoxi was in a very happy mood.
Because just now, he received a report that one of the projects that he has attached the most importance to during this period, which can be regarded as the heart of almost all ground projects in the future, is about to be completed. The construction of a super-giant fusion reactor power station.
This is a super giant fusion power station built 100 meters underground. The average power it outputs every day is equivalent to twice the overall power consumption of deep space civilization at the moment. With it, no matter what you want in the future
No matter what kind of construction or project is carried out, there will be no obstacles.
The good news has been coming one after another recently...
Noli Ruoxi sighed silently.
A comprehensive grain building that covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters and is 100 stories high, an industrial zone that can produce tens of thousands of products, and a reproductive building that can produce 500 people a day were built one after another. Even the ancient texts of civilization
Good news comes frequently from the deciphering work.
After the former chief scientific officer died unexpectedly and research and development came to a standstill, the new super-giant electromagnetic pulse bomb has now been successfully developed and can be equipped with the army. The new combat spacecraft has also completed the preliminary theoretical work.
These messages allow Noli Ruoxi and everyone within the civilization to clearly feel that civilization is recovering steadily and that the strength of civilization is increasing day by day.
I believe that the time to form a space expeditionary fleet, destroy human civilization, and bring that planet under the rule of deep space civilization is definitely not far away.
"Tell the wise men in the Industrial Temple that in three days, when the fusion power plant is put into operation, I will be there in person to congratulate you."
"Yes." The secretary agreed respectfully. At this moment, he could already imagine the surprise on the faces of the wise men of the Industrial Temple after receiving congratulations from the president.
Three days later, Noli Ruoxi arrived as promised.
100 meters below the surface of the Deep Sky Star, in the brightly lit hall, facing many people whose expressions were full of excitement and excitement, Noli Ruoxi felt that he had never been so high-spirited as now.
He has prepared a passionate speech, which is bound to take the atmosphere here to a higher level and make everyone realize that as long as they follow his footsteps closely, civilization will inevitably become stronger and stronger until
Restore the glory of the ancient times until you defeat the enemy that even the ancient times failed to defeat.
"today we……"
However, his speech had just begun when a piercing siren sounded throughout the hall. His brows immediately furrowed and people began to look at each other. The celebratory atmosphere that had previously filled the hall instantly dissipated.
A wise man from the War Temple hurriedly came to Noli Ruoxi's side.
His expression was slightly nervous, but he still maintained his composure.
"President, our planetary defense system has just detected that ten interstellar missiles have arrived from the planet of human civilization. Through comprehensive research and judgment, we believe that this is still a 'heavy rain' attack and will basically not cause any damage here.
However, for safety reasons, we still believe that you should return to the Celestial Base and hide on the back of the planet."
There is no doubt that in a space base, it is safest to hide on the back of the planet with the entire planet as a shield. After all, there is no way to rule out the possibility of a hydrogen bomb among the ten interstellar missiles.
Noli Ruoxi's good mood disappeared immediately.
"Damn humans! It's clear that the 'Heavy Rain' attack has no effect, yet it keeps happening again and again!"
"Evacuate, evacuate immediately!"
He had to take the spaceship back to the Celestial Base with the others, then start the propulsion system and once again transfer all the bases to the back of the planet.
The warning time was sufficient, and this set of actions was carried out many times. Everything was in order and there was no panic at all.
Just wait until the heavy rain passes and then go down.
In particular, for this attack, the spy satellites deployed around Sedna had already issued an early warning two months ago. However, those interstellar missiles later entered space and escaped the surveillance of deep space civilizations.
People have confirmed that this attack will definitely come, they just don't know when it will come.
At this moment, Zhao Changxing received a report once again on the space carrier that was orbiting the sun and farther than the Deep Sky Star.
"The electromagnetic gun projectile cluster attack from Sedna has successfully driven all the space bases of the deep space civilization to the back of the planet!"
