Similar to most habitable planets, there are various space stations distributed in the low-Earth orbit of Eden. From the airport to the dock to the courier station (the kind that uses cannons to launch mail packages), it can be said that there are all kinds of strange things and everything is available.
Originally, in a normal planetary offensive and defensive battle, occupying these space stations would be an important first step. But on the one hand, the planetary invasion launched by the Geth and the Reapers is a sneak attack and needs to achieve the maximum effect within a limited time; on the other hand, Saren holds detailed information about Eden... He knows all of these space stations. They are all for civilian use and pose no threat...
However, a small space station owned by a mining company affiliated with "Luyuan Logistics" happens to be near low-Earth orbit - as we all know, in order to meet the raw material needs of "Dawn Military Industry" and clean up Eden The surrounding waterways - the Eden Star Council sold a batch of asteroid mining rights to Lu Yuan, and he used a leather company to acquire them...
This small space station is the only asset of that leather bag company! Oh, and there are those few asteroids that have not yet been mined and are temporarily fixed on the frame of the space station... Even the parliament did not notice, although asteroids came and went on this mining space station. But there are always a few asteroids that remain on the fixed frame of the space station. Only the numbers keep changing, and the asteroids themselves never move.
Under the dark sky, the deserted mining space station seemed to have received some order. Its huge metal frame that fixed the asteroids "grabbed" several asteroids and turned them in one direction... During the rotation, the seemingly overwhelmed bracket groaned, and finally broke directly under the huge torque!
An asteroid broke away from the hook of the bracket. Attracted by the Eden Star, it fell towards the surface of the planet... Against the background of the green planet, it looked like water droplets falling... If Master Lu wanted to destroy the planet with one blow... , then this should be the ending - an asteroid with a diameter of nearly five kilometers falls/falls and hits the crust of Eden. God knows what the consequences will be!
Maybe the dinosaurs will be extinct again?
But it's impossible... There's John and his bar on the Eden planet; there's Mr. Tang and Lucky Pumpkin Manor; there's Yang Hou and a bunch of neighbors who treat him as a vampire; there's Lu Yuan's business that he has worked hard for several years The military factory; there are Obstacle Pear and Company 212... Even Lao Lu himself is squatting down below with Xiaomi and his lover, and it's not yet time for them to die together.
The asteroid is in the process of falling. Under the resistance of the atmosphere, they are automatically dismembered into countless smaller pieces until they can be burned cleanly in the atmosphere without any harm. However, in the process of decomposition and harmlessness of asteroids. Countless conical metal rods with tail fins were ejected from the inside. They rushed into the atmosphere like flowers scattered by a goddess and flew in a specific direction...

"Why are we running away?!" h7n9 asked in confusion, but he ran not slow at all! All the heroic Space Marines were dead. Only those who are good at preserving themselves can survive till now. With his huge kinetic armor and endless power, when he starts running wildly, he can easily leave behind everything from cheetahs to top-notch sports cars!
Of course, Lu Yuan, who was wearing light armor, could easily jump a few tens of meters away, which seemed even easier - if it weren't for the big metal block on the side acting as a shield, he would be faster...
"Have you... heard of space-based weapons?" h7n9 asked. Lu Yuan, who was running in front, spoke softly into the microphone.
"Space-based weapons...you mean the staff of God?!" h7n9 was also a military fan. Of course he has heard of such an imaginary weapon as mold! As soon as he saw Lu Yuan nodding silently, his whole body suddenly felt bad. "Fuck...fuck you, don't nod! Don't tell me you've done that kind of thing?! Didn't our country's experts say that that kind of weapon can only punch a hole in the ground, but it's useless? ?"
Thinking of the terror of that kind of weapon, h7n9 suddenly felt his scalp numb! He directly activated the rocket backpack behind him, and his speed doubled instantly!
"Childish! Our experts even said that smog can protect against lasers. Such a simple and easy-to-use weapon can be successful as long as it overcomes some simple problems... We have intelligent nanometers!" Lu Yuan said with a sense of superiority.
However, what left h7n9 even more speechless. No matter how fast he accelerated, Lu Yuan still floated in front of...h7n9...your sister! Don't make it so obvious when you ask me to block the gun! asshole!
The "Rod of God" is a space-based kinetic energy weapon envisioned by the United States. You can find out by just searching on Baidu. The general principle is to drop a metal rod weighing several tons made of tungsten, titanium or uranium metal from the satellite. When this metal rod hits a target at great speed, the impact can cause as much damage as a nuclear bomb! But it does not have the radioactivity of a nuclear bomb, and the range of the attack will be - the whole world!
Therefore, it is particularly suitable for the post-nuclear era...
The two men ran wildly between the wilderness and the valley with their heads buried. The geths at the landing site were alerted and indeed sent a group of people to chase them. However, the speed of the two men's escape was so fast that Geth was quickly thrown away by them and could no longer see their tail lights.
"Look!" Lu Yuan suddenly said, and the two people stopped running. Let’s look up together… and look up at the light green sky.
Endless orange-red lines of fire are woven on the sky with clear warp and latitude. The meteor, with orange-red firelight and smoke trails, slanted across the green sky above them, flying towards the landing site behind them...

"You mean... such a dangerous weapon is hidden in low-Earth orbit by Lu Yuan?! It can strike any corner of the world at any time?! And we... don't know anything about it!" Colonial Speaker Yanghou Stare at Colonel Mike Harovich! In fact, when Mike told him the principle and impact of this weapon, he felt like his head was going to explode!
"God! Lu Yuan... what on earth does he want to do?!"
It is important to know that all mining asteroids must be detoxified before approaching the planet. Otherwise, if it falls... it will be too harmful! But Lu Yuan's mining company put both the monitoring and execution rights into his own hands, thus evading parliamentary scrutiny. Lu Yuan's move... To put it bluntly, he took advantage of the trust that the parliament, or Yang Hou and others, had in him.
"I...even though I think he is greedy for money, he is actually a pretty good person..." Yanghou said in the end with some disappointment. Being deceived was secondary, Yang Hou was not that glass-hearted. But what he saw... was what Yang Hou really couldn't accept. If those defensive turrets and howitzers can still be explained, then space-based weapons that only target the ground cannot be explained anyway.
"You are overthinking. That guy is actually a good person." Colonel Mike Harovich knew that Yang Hou was probably thinking wrongly. Unlike these veterans who participated in the "First Contact War", these people who lived in peacetime lacked such a string called "vigilance" in their minds!
"If I'm not wrong, the people who deployed these weapons may have long expected that Eden would be invaded by aliens. Therefore, all weapons are designed for this purpose and are defensive weapons... As for space-based weapons, The weapon is the comeback card that determines the outcome!" His fingers were operating on the screen, and a stratospheric aircraft stopped above the landing site. The screen is zoomed in and out during operation.
Until the three people could clearly see hundreds of thousands of geth disembarking, as well as thousands of landing ships anchored here!
"It's Geth..." Colonel Mike Harovich finally identified the enemy! When Yang Hou and John saw the ocean-like number of robots, their only feeling was that their scalps were numb!
In the last few seconds before the bombing came, all the geth suddenly stopped what they were doing - as they had secretly agreed. Turn your head neatly. Looking at the southern sky...
In that direction, endless lines of fire are falling from the sky! The next moment, the ground shook!
A blazing white metal pillar that was half-melted into a bowl shape silently hit the ground of the landing site and crashed directly into the ground! Only a deep cave sloping downward was left... The next moment, bubbles with a diameter of more than ten kilometers expanded on the ground! Then it explodes!
The rising flames instantly flooded the surroundings, and the flames and airflow formed gorgeous orange-red flowers!
…
There was no fire, no explosion... what the three people in the control room finally saw. It was a scene captured by an aircraft... huge mushroom clouds rising densely into the sky! The whole sky and earth are boiling! Completely submerge the area of thousands of kilometers around the landing site!

"So, you used Lu Yuan's trump card to make a comeback?"
Quietly looking at the white screen, the three of them were silent, and suddenly John said something as if he was complaining. At this time, even Yang Hou looked over - like a woman who never changes her mind - even if she has been deceived, even if she has been abandoned... Once there is a reasonable explanation, Yang Hou is still more willing to believe Lu Yuan, after all, everyone We spent six years as friends.
"His goal is probably to first attract the enemy to one place, and then gather them together to annihilate them for a decisive victory..." Colonel Mike Harovich explained, "But the troops we have available are too few to accomplish such a feat. Tactics! Therefore, as a soldier, protecting civilians is my first priority! This attack can be regarded as a test. I want to know what the enemy’s choice is under such losses..."
However, before he could finish his words, an orange-red, burning liquid metal line of fire stretched out straight from deep space! Lu Yuan's mining space station was bombarded by this light and was completely destroyed! Together with the two remaining asteroids on the bracket, they were all blown to pieces by this powerful main cannon!
One shot of the main gun erased all traces of the space station's past existence.
Then, the huge "Overlord" Reaper battleship slowly sailed out of deep space! Its huge claws have been opened, and smoke is still rising from the muzzle of the main gun that it fired just now, as if it is holding the Star of Eden in its palm! In front of the Reaper battleship, thousands of Geth troop carriers served as the vanguard, descending towards Eden again like locusts!
"Beep - beep -" Looking at the space-based weapon signal that completely disappeared on the screen. And when the dense red light spots appeared again, Yang Hou's heart fell directly into the abyss! At this moment, he missed Lu Yuan's proposals very much... If I agree to set up a secondary garrison! If I agree to keep a small local fleet! If I agree to expand the size of the police... Regret bites his heart hard!
"Got it..." Colonel Mike Harovich sighed! Whether the attacker is a geth or an alien... If Mike Harovich is in command, normally... if he loses hundreds of thousands of troops on the ground in an instant, he will definitely choose to retreat appropriately and Regroup the team.
However, the other party's response was very clear and they did not persuade him to surrender! No shrinkage! There is only a silent and more violent attack!
The enemy's intention has been clearly conveyed - fight to the death!
"Issue a general mobilization order! Any adult who has weapons must take up arms and protect their homeland... Please tell them that the enemy comes with the purpose of exterminating all living things! We cannot surrender, we cannot escape, this is a life and death battle !” (To be continued~^~)
