At this moment, up and down the Illuminati, everything was gloomy and gloomy, and the terrifying shadow of death had shrouded them.
A Saturn VII spacecraft docked quietly on asteroid No. 12.
This is a composite asteroid, composed of a metallic core and a rocky surface, with a diameter of 30 to 33 kilometers.
It's just that the situation of the asteroid was not good at this time. Nearly one-fifth of its parts disappeared, and one-third of the space dock built around the asteroid was completely scrapped.
As for the spaceship that was lying on the dock before, you don't have to think about what will happen to it.
After dodging a large area of spacecraft debris and asteroid debris, the Saturn VII spacecraft numbered "7-217" successfully landed on the side of Base 12.
Angela, who was wearing a combat space suit, quickly led a dozen lizardmen with plasma guns towards the core area of the base.
Base Commander Xing Hegel, who is in charge of the base, already knows through surveillance cameras and notification documents that Angela has brought people to support her.
He ordered the staff to guide the other party into the base.
After a while, Angela and others met with Hegel.
"How many supernova ships are available for Hegel now?" Angela asked urgently.
Hegel reluctantly replied: "I'm very sorry. There were originally two ships. During the attack 6 hours ago, only one was left for use. There are two more ships under construction. The completion rates are: 57%
and 38%.”
After taking a look at her watch, Angela became more and more anxious, and hurriedly ordered: "Hegel will replenish supplies for this supernova immediately, and I will go to pick up your majesty right away."
"Okay, but the ammunition is only about 10%, and we don't have an ammunition reserve here."
"That's it, hurry up and finish it as soon as possible." Angela urged.
"Give me two hours."
"No, only one hour." Angela said forcefully.
"..." Hegel had no choice but to nod his head: "I'll try my best."
On the observation deck of the base, Angela looked at the shipyard clone employees who were transporting supplies, and turned her head to look at the little sun in the distance.
If she were a new human being, she would definitely continue to attack. According to previous detection data, the opponent's large electromagnetic gun must be built on the back of the moon.
As a result, the New Humanity's large-scale electromagnetic gun has a window period for firing frequency, and this frequency is most likely to be a window period every twenty-four hours.
At this time, nearly 10 hours had passed since Tie Yu's attack. If her estimate was correct, the enemy's next attack would arrive in 14 hours.
We must seize the time, otherwise when the next wave of iron rain comes, it will really be over.
…
After transporting the last batch of supplies, Angela and her people, plus people borrowed from the shipyard and Base 12, gathered together 157 people.
"Let's set off and target base 42." Angela ordered.
Although many crew members didn't understand why they went to Base 42, as soldiers they didn't dare to ask.
In fact, except for Angela and her 21 confidants, no one knew that Base 42 had been completely destroyed. Base 42 was located on the side closer to the orbit of Jupiter.
The Supernova spacecraft is the most powerful spacecraft designed by the Illuminati. It can reach a full load of 800,000 tons, a payload of 450,000 tons, and a working medium reserve of 100,000 tons. It uses an energy siphon core to supply electrical energy and a plasma engine.
As long as there is a working medium, it can continue to accelerate. The maximum design speed is 15% of the speed of light. If you want to reach this speed, it is estimated that it will take 30 years of continuous acceleration.
Obviously this maximum design speed is a problem, because the spacecraft can only have a maximum of 550,000 tons of working fluid. This is the data including all payloads. In fact, the spacecraft can only have a maximum of 500,000 tons of working fluid.
If there is no way to replenish the working fluid along the way, these working fluids can maintain the spacecraft's accelerated flight for up to 5 years, reaching 2.5% of the speed of light.
And once all these working fluids are used for acceleration, the spacecraft can no longer decelerate. When the supernova rushes out of the solar system, it means that the spacecraft can only wander in the starry sky.
Then during the flight, the speed is slowly lost by the gravity of the planet. This time may be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years.
This is a journey with no return.
…
Using the base's communication tower, Powell and others struggled to contact some of the remaining Illuminati members around them.
An unknown premonition filled Powell's heart, especially after the iron rain attack, less than two hours later, the communication center completely lost contact.
[Commander Powell, we have arrived at the communications center, and 46% of the communications array at the communications center is still available.]
Looking at the communication report in front of him, Powell did not feel happy. Instead, he became more confused and sent an inquiry message.
[Since part of the communication array is still available, why did the communication center lose contact before?]
After a few minutes.
[Commander Powell, we only saw some corpses charred by plasma guns in the base. It is estimated that someone betrayed us. We are checking the situation everywhere.]
After reading the reply message, Powell frowned and thought about it. Someone in the communication center betrayed the Illuminati. What was the purpose?
First of all, to rule out joining the New Human Race, is it to dock the remnants of the Judas Temple? This is just the current situation. It is estimated that the Judas Temple and the HRE Federation are also in danger.
Soon more and more intelligence feedback came back, and Powell knew that the traitors were Angela, the head of the communications center, and others.
The other party killed the rebels in the communication center 16 hours ago and hijacked a Saturn 7 spacecraft.
Suddenly, as soon as the latest piece of feedback information came out, Powell felt bad.
"Damn it, it turns out these guys are planning to go supernova."
He hurriedly reported the incident to Adam.
After hearing about Angela's rebellion and hijacking the Supernova, Adam fell silent. From his trembling body and the protrusion of his light green skin, you can know his depression and anger at this moment.
"Find the escape direction of the Supernova and activate the electromagnetic orbit..." Adam was about to speak, but froze for a while.
Then the look of panic in his eyes became more intense, and he said in a violent and urgent tone: "Move the spaceship to pick us up immediately."
"Uh...yes, Your Majesty." Powell quickly mobilized the surrounding spacecraft to come over.
Three hours later, a Saturn VIII and three Saturn VII appeared next to the asteroid base.
Adam and Powell quickly boarded the spacecraft with the personnel at the base, and then the spacecraft began to move forward at full speed.
Inside the spacecraft cockpit.
Adam, with a gloomy face, ordered to Powell: "Immediately let all remaining spacecraft take away everything that can be taken away, and then retreat to the orbit of Jupiter."
"Yes." At this time, Powell had already reacted.
However, their reaction was still a step slow.
24 hours have passed since the first wave of iron rain attacks.
The second wave of iron rain attacks arrived as scheduled.
In an instant, the area controlled by the Illuminati, which had already suffered heavy losses, was once again attacked by a rain of steel.
The asteroid bases and spaceships that had remained relatively intact before became the key targets of the second wave of iron rain attacks.
For example, the asteroid in the communication center was directly swept by 6 tungsten steel projectiles. In an instant, the asteroid and the base above collapsed together.
The Illuminati, already scarred, suffered another heavy blow.
