953. Hyperspace Storm
Compared with the development level of the planet Eriadu, which can be said to be one of the most developed planets in the outer ring star region, the satellite Eriadu is also very developed.
This satellite with a diameter of more than 2,700 kilometers has a large number of airports, space ports, factories, mines, and colonial cities. The total number of residents is about 100 million, and most of them are military and logistics personnel.
Mainly because in the low gravity environment of the satellite, the takeoff and landing of fighter jets is much more convenient than on the planet Eriadu, so this satellite is also the most important fighter jet in the defense line set up by Wilhuff Tarkin. Takeoff and landing base.
There are 2 million troops stationed on the satellite, all of whom are conscripted soldiers of the Republic. There are no expensive clone soldiers stationed here.
After communications were gradually restored, the Republic's command center was finally able to coordinate and command operations in a unified manner.
But what was immediately conveyed to the Republic Command Center was extremely bad news - the separatist army had established a very solid forward position, and one of the colonial towns had fallen, and the powerful Inchori had even advanced all the way. Over 100 kilometers!
Tarkin quickly ordered the defenders on the satellite to mobilize their forces to ensure that the planetary shield generator must not fall.
There are two ways to set up planetary shields, one is external and the other is internal, and the planetary shields of Eriadu planet and satellites are both the latter. Although doing so will cause a hole in the planetary shield above the shield generator, with the assistance of the two planets and the protection of a large fleet, this problem is not fatal.
But the problem now is that this planetary shield is facing destruction from the inside out!
On the afternoon of May 6, bad news came again from the satellite ground battlefield. The separatist landing force did not advance in a straight line towards the planetary shield generator. Instead, they first used a large number of AT-PT walkers to conduct large-scale interspersed operations.
During the assault, three republic armies encountered this separatist mechanized force and were completely defeated, with more than 10,000 soldier casualties!
…
At the same time, in the administrative center of the planet Eriadu, Wilhuff Tarkin also received even worse news...
"What did you say? The H-4449 transport fleet cannot arrive?" Governor Tarkin roared.
The staff officer on the side lowered his head and said: "Yes, not only the H-4449 transport fleet, but also the other nine transport fleets are unable to arrive... These fleets suddenly encountered a hyperspace storm during the hyperspace voyage and were forced to exit the hyperspace. Space, now ranging from 5 to 80 light-years away from our planet, can only rely on sublight engines to navigate...I am afraid they still need rescue."
"Why is this happening?! Could stellar flares still affect hyperspace channels?!" Governor Tarkin lifted up the staff officer's collar and roared loudly.
"We have asked the observatory, and their experts said that this is impossible to occur naturally, because the energy that can affect hyperspace is basically impossible to produce in a natural environment, so it can only be separatism in the occurrence of this stellar flare. Super matter is added to participate in stellar reactions," said the staff officer.
At this time, a severely interfered holographic projection appeared in the communication on the side. It was the bald old man from the observatory. He said solemnly: "...I must add that this is a very complicated process, and it is not just about converting Just throw some super matter into the star. We have conducted many simulations, but we still cannot establish an accurate astronomical model of the Separatist action. We can only say that their preparations are much better than we imagined."
"I just want to know the result!" Governor Tarkin said with a gloomy face.
The old man said: "Now the hyperspace of the entire Eriadu system is completely in a mess. The spacecraft navigation system requires a lot of calculations to enter the hyperspace channel relatively safely, and even so, it cannot completely guarantee the true safety of navigation. Therefore, in the future, the hyperspace traffic of the Eriadu system will be almost cut off."
"How long is this period?"
"I don't know, maybe a few days, maybe a few months, maybe even more than a year." The old man said, "We can't reproduce the astronomical model of this stellar flare, so we can't get accurate data. The only thing that can be said is Yes, the duration of this hyperspace storm will not exceed 410 standard days at most, which is the conclusion we get by bringing in a maximum function."
The staff officer looked at Tarkin's expression, which was about to explode, and quickly comforted him: "But doesn't this also mean that the Separatists' logistics has been cut off?"
Tarkin glanced at the staff officer coldly, "You've been dismissed, idiot. Now get out and report to the infantry company!"
…
The Eriadu satellite at this time.
boom! boom! ! boom! ! ! In the thin atmosphere, the explosion sounded a little distant, but it was equally deadly.
More than a dozen AT-PT bipedal walkers with a height of more than 3 meters were wreaking havoc on the Republic defenders' positions. The blaster cannons equipped under the walkers kept firing. The powerful firepower exploded into balls of hot fire on the defenders' positions. flame.
"Group 2! Group 2! Don't block those walking machines!"
"Use the bazooka against them!"
"Contact with Group 4's positions has been lost! Send someone over quickly!"
In the communication channel of the Republic defenders, noisy shouts continued to be heard - their positions were being torn apart by AT-PT walkers.
Lying crookedly in front were the remains of several TX-130 Saber-class levitating tanks. Although these levitating tanks had stronger firepower and were faster, they were still attacked one by one by several times the number of AT-PT walkers. destroy.
Without the cover of the armored troops, the infantry troops had no way to deal with such a steel beast!
A Republic soldier crawled desperately on the burnt ground. Explosive beams continued to pass over his head. The sound of gunshots and explosions seemed to be blurred by a layer of film. They could not even be covered by the full-coverage helmet. His own heavy breathing.
A huge black shadow enveloped him, and he quickly rolled into a crater, holding his blaster rifle and breathing heavily.
Immediately afterwards, an AT-PT walker passed over his head, and he clearly saw the blaster under the walker firing three shots in the direction of his own position.
The walker paid no attention to him and kept going.
The soldier quickly continued crawling on the ground. Finally, after climbing another few dozen meters, he got a rocket launcher on a corpse. He picked up the rocket launcher with difficulty and pointed it at the man who had just stepped over him. That AT-PT walker pulled the trigger!
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he encounters familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
