In the world of District 9, somewhere in the calm waters of the Pacific Ocean, a catamaran aircraft carrier that was huge but not bloated at all due to its superb design was moored quietly in the distance. Bright red signal lights light up one by one from the aircraft carrier's bridge and runway from time to time, and the densely packed carrier-based aircraft on the deck demonstrate her unparalleled power.
This is the only heavy aircraft carrier built by Arasaka Company since its establishment, Beluga.
With a body length of nearly 400 meters, she has an unprecedented three decks, five conventional runways and an electromagnetic acceleration track. The radar antennas densely distributed throughout the ship ensure that she can monitor all incoming enemies for Arasaka Company at all times.
Although such a complex design is often criticized by many military experts as an "ancestral illegal construction," it also means that when necessary, more than a hundred carrier-based aircraft on the ship can take off and land on six runways at the same time, and efficiently There will be no loss caused by too many runways.
In the world of Cyberpunk 2077, she single-handedly scared off the new America that wanted to use the power of founding to sweep across North America, shocking the world.
When hundreds of thousands of the New American Army, equipped with advanced weapons and powerful prosthetics, marched into central California, preparing to take over Coronado City in one fell swoop, which is also the Night City that people are more familiar with in 2077, she was the same as now, He just moored in the bay near the city without saying a word, announcing Arasaka's attitude to the world.
Now, under Saburo's instructions, she once again came here far away from her hometown, in order to serve as the bridgehead and war base of Arasaka Company in the world of District 9, and to provide comprehensive intelligence advantages for Arasaka agents who are secretly rooted around the world.
Since Arasaka's most elite hacker force has been stationed on the Beluga, it is no longer a question whether her elegant figure will be discovered by the satellites and ships of the local forces. On the contrary, the spy satellites of the indigenous forces in the world in District 9 have become a good helper for hackers to monitor the world, saving Arasaka a lot of money in re-launching satellites.
Thanks to Yang Tianyi's timely disconnection order, no matter how hackers search, even if they turn the Internet in the world of District 9 upside down, they still know little or even nothing about the deployment of the Star Group.
The unknown enemy is the most terrifying enemy. Both Saburo Arasaka and Tomohiko Kuroiwa agree with this point. Therefore, not surprisingly, they soon noticed the actions of the Changsheng Army in South Africa, and obtained the surveillance video of the MNU base by hacking into the network.
After carefully reading the video content several times, Heiyan, who was sitting in the control room of the Beluga, took a deep breath and nodded.
His and Lord Saburo's speculations were absolutely correct. Lesedi may have been the leader of the hawkish officials, but since their enemies entered the world of District 9, the bewitched Minister of Health has become their lackey.
Although the specific situation is still unclear, the group of Rippers covering Lesedi leaving the base in the video is enough to explain everything.
"It seems that our enemy is very accomplished in the field of biochemistry and wants to create biochemical beasts with actual combat capabilities. Even Arasaka currently does not have this ability."
Just when Heiyan was thinking hard about how to seduce the enemy, a network hacker responsible for monitoring world news suddenly sent a communication request.
"Lord Black Rock, something happened in Johannesburg! I will connect you to the real-time video."
As blue light emitted from Kuroiwa's prosthetic eyes, images captured by Arasaka's drone and satellite from various angles appeared in front of his eyes, and the clear three-dimensional scene felt like he was actually there.
Under the eyes of countless people who were either surprised or terrified, the four-kilometer-long Shrimp Man Mothership began its first displacement in twenty years.
"Woooooooo..."
The slowly rotating giant ship seemed like a prehistoric beast waking up from its sleep. The giant ship made a deafening sound when it set sail, and the waves of sound swept through the sky above Johannesburg like a strong wind.
It came to an end with a loud bang that could break through the clouds and crack rocks. The glass of more than 2,000 buildings in the city center shattered instantly. The panicked people on the streets had to flee under the shroud of sharp debris falling like raindrops, causing heavy casualties and completely I no longer wanted to watch the fun.
Faced with this sudden disaster, MNU's security forces deployed around the mothership and the South African military police were immediately mobilized to the scene. The former stared at the mothership in the sky and opened fire immediately after the high-level order was issued. The latter was responsible for Evacuate people to prevent more people from being injured and killed by falling objects or trampling by crowds.
"I don't care what method you use, find someone who can authorize me immediately!"
The commander of the MNU security force's hand holding the walkie-talkie trembled slightly. After discovering that the mothership was heading towards the ninth district, he roared incoherently: "Damn! Don't we even have anyone who can make the decision here? I Weapons authorization to fire required! Now! Immediately!"
Putting down the walkie-talkie in his hand, the commander looked at the mothership in the sky, secretly thinking that these shrimp people really picked a good time to leave early and late, but they did not arrive after all the executives in the MNU South Africa region died due to accidents. There was such a commotion in twenty-four hours, and he didn't know who to look for as his superior.
Originally, as long as they were given some more time, MNU's European headquarters would send people to take over the vacant positions and all affairs in the South African division. But now that the situation was urgent, he could only hope that the dignitaries in Europe would realize the seriousness of the problem and give him the highest level of firing authorization within five minutes.
It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of mankind will be completely decided in the next five minutes.
...
Unlike the human side who was facing a formidable enemy, Christopher, who had packed his things and was about to run away, only had joy and expectation in his eyes - the Star Group was more powerful than he imagined. In order to ensure that the command module of the spacecraft would not be destroyed, the technical staff A deflector shield powered by a fusion reactor has been installed inside the module.
With this layer of protection, unless humans detonate a multi-million-ton nuclear weapon directly over Johannesburg at the same time, they can only watch the command module embedded in the gap of the mothership escorted by several Star destroyers to complete this task. A puzzle that lasted twenty years.
"It took you less time to make a decision than I thought, which is great. I like dealing with decisive people."
Looking at the hill-like mothership in the sky in the distance, after visually judging that it would only take a few minutes to reach the sky above the ninth district, Yang Tianyi's messenger robot's pupils lit up and said to Christopher beside him: "After observation, you gave us The coordinates of the home star are accurate, and with luck, we can reach our destination within half a year."
Different from the three years estimated by the other party, the hyperspace technology used by the group is obviously better than the light speed engine mounted on the mothership, and the energy supply of the fusion reactor is also more durable and stable than biofuels.
If a complete star map were available for reference, perhaps this journey spanning thousands of light years would have taken much less time. Unfortunately, after the mothership entered the automatic navigation mode twenty years ago, the native shrimp man on the ship who was usually responsible for mapping the star map had long lost his intelligence, and the star map was naturally missing.
Planning a hyperspace route between planetary systems from scratch is a task that requires a lot of energy, and there cannot be any deviation in the coordinates of the entry and exit routes. Otherwise, it might be a spacecraft that entered the channel, and when it reappears, it might be a mass of space junk mixed with flesh and metal.
Even so, because there is a Javelin-class frigate carrying a scientific research team accompanying them, the scientific research department estimates that the two spacecraft can reach the home planet of the Shrimp Man Empire in up to half a year based on the latest waterway mapped during the journey. Regardless of whether Christopher's request for help is successful or not, the group's diplomatic mission will try its best to cooperate with the Shrimp Empire.
As long as the price is right, there's nothing he can't sell.
Even if the price is the extinction of humanity in the world of District 9, as long as enough oil and water can be squeezed out of the Shrimp Man Empire, Yang Tianyi can accept such a result, but he is still unsure whether the Shrimp Man Empire can pay a price that is enough to convince him. Pessimistic attitude.
However, unless necessary, he does not want the group to conflict prematurely with an interstellar empire capable of building giant motherships. Even if the latter's military technology is likely to be weaker than his own, the empire's size is enough to allow their fleet to submerge the group before it is formed. of delicate navy.
If the group really gained something from the Shrimp Empire, maybe the shipbuilding technology could be considered the same.
After Christopher used the native key to activate the mothership's command module, he found that it contained a large number of design drawings and technologies that the Shrimp Empire needed when building the mothership. As for the reason, it is most likely to allow the mothership, which also plays a colonial role, to have the ability to build spaceships on its own, branch out in the star sea on its own, and accelerate the expansion of the empire's territory.
If the Earth was a habitable planet waiting to be developed, the rebels on the mothership could use the information in the database to quickly point out the technology tree for the ship's construction.
It's a pity that their dream finally came to nothing. Now all these precious data have become cheaper for the group's ship designers. The massive drawings and technology suddenly opened their minds. Not only did they find the design inspiration for the destroyer, but also the next gear. Even the design of cruiser-class battleships has been improved.
As the mothership in the field of vision grew larger and larger, Yang Tianyi estimated that the people from MNU and Arasaka Company should have started to move. No matter what the purpose of these careerists' intervention is, they are enemies that must be eliminated by the group. Arasaka Company, in particular, should never be underestimated.
So he disconnected the neural connection with the messaging robot, nodded to the operations commander Colonel Patterson standing next to him, and issued the order in a calm tone.
"All Javelin-class frigates have entered Earth orbit and are on standby. Ground troops are immediately dispatched to control the situation. They must not be allowed to affect the shrimp people's return journey."
Suddenly, as if he thought of something worthy of happiness, Yang Tianyi smiled slightly, waved his hand and ordered: "Activate Johannesburg's 'Manta Ray Team' and let them cooperate with the ground troops to give our enemies a head-on blow! At the same time, contact the Scientific Research Department , told Armand that the opportunity was rare, and asked them to pay attention to collecting actual combat data on the 'Manta Ray'."
After receiving the order, Colonel Paterson did not look away and immediately began to arrange the forces in his hands in an orderly manner according to the plan. This work should have been completed by the Star Hub Auxiliary Command, but now she obviously has a more important job.
Until the brain of the last Arasaka hacker is burned out, the mission of the Star Hub cannot be considered successfully completed.
First latest.
