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 cloud" that is still expanding slowly and continuing to advance along its own orbit, nothing in the universe has changed.
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 no longer be distinguishable.
The space carrier is still moving forward. However, because of this incident, people have become more vigilant.
In the following time, except for some malfunctions of the space carrier itself, no other unexpected events occurred. The faults of the aerospace carrier itself were completely repaired through emergency repairs, and did not have any impact on the overall situation.
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 his repair skills are probably better than others. Under such circumstances, it would be outrageous if there were any major problems with the space carrier.
A full five 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 Sedna Star and about 4 million kilometers away from Deep Sky Star.
At this moment, the space carrier carries a total of approximately 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 this war, and then obtain enough fuel on the deep space star to return to Sedna.
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 reaching the planet defense command headquarters. Sun Weiping and Xue Yun looked at each other, and both saw a hint 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 sufficient number 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.
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 is a bit larger than before, there is nothing worth paying attention to.
The more critical this moment is, the more important it is to keep it secret, and the more important it is to not fall short.
After receiving the report from Sedna, the space carrier also started system-wide 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 spacecraft pilots are still not allowed to fly the spacecraft for practical training. However, the training they received in the virtual machine became more and more rigorous. The work and rest time is based on the wartime requirements. There are strict regulations on when to rest, 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 main shaft material of the space carrier exceeded the predetermined level by about 10%. 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 Helicopter is compared to the human body, then the main axis is the spine. Any changes it makes are 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 axis.
"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 coming, we can't take care of this matter for the time being. Let's talk about it later.
Time passed quickly, and all preparations and combat preparations were 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 he has attached 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 amount of electricity it outputs every day is equivalent to twice the overall electricity consumption of deep space civilization at this moment. With it, no matter what kind of construction and engineering you want to carry out in the future, 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 per day were built one after another. Even the work of deciphering ancient civilization texts has brought good news frequently.
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 preliminary theoretical work.
These messages allow Noli Ruoxi and everyone within the civilization to clearly feel that civilization is steadily recovering 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 surprised looks 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, 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 frowned, and people began to look at each other in confusion. The celebratory atmosphere that had previously filled the entire hall instantly dissipated.
A wise man from the War Temple hurriedly came to Noli Ruoxi's side.
He looked slightly nervous. But generally 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 behind the planet with the entire planet as a shield. After all, there is no way to rule out the possibility that there is 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 people, 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 actually issued an early warning two months ago. But later those interstellar missiles entered the universe and escaped the surveillance of deep space civilization.
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!"
