Lu Yuanming himself has been exploring the application of cognition.

From the initial treatment and cure, to making objects fly at nearly the speed of light, to so-called meteorites falling from the sky, to pushing planet-sized objects, connecting the worlds of life and death, setting up a beacon in the dark matter world to illuminate the fog...

Lu Yuanming has been developing cognition, and recently in order to cope with this war with alien civilization, he has developed cognition in a deeper level, and the biggest breakthrough is the wide-area detection shielding It worked.

This kind of shielding is aimed at shielding all reconnaissance in Lu Yuanming's cognition. At least in terms of testing, whether it is all human beings' existing electromagnetic system reconnaissance methods, Tang Zhe'an's gravitational wave long-range reconnaissance methods, or other extraordinary sequence based on four The reconnaissance methods developed by the large basic force are all ineffective under this kind of shielding.

According to Tang Zhe'an's analysis, this kind of cognitive wide-area reconnaissance shielding is likely to shield the four basic forces. Although this approach theoretically means that the five senses are gone, you can see that it is pitch black, and your ears can't Nothing can be heard, but the wonder is here. This is an idealistic change based on Lu Yuanming's cognition. Under the shield of cognition, only the senses of intellectual life itself are not restricted. This itself is not in line with scientific logic, but That's what happened.

However, this understanding of Lu Yuanming has not been directly used in the material world. Although it can most likely block the unknown reconnaissance methods of alien civilizations, it will obviously alert the snake, and it is better to use it at critical times.

And now is the critical moment!

There are a total of 642 human space warships, excluding space fighter planes, with a total of more than 5.57 million soldiers. This is currently the strongest combat force of mankind, and it is also the strongest mobile combat force for the defense of alien civilization this time.

Although it cannot be compared with the super-sized fleets of alien civilizations, it is already the pride of mankind.

At the 18th hour when the alien fleet group broke through the Kuiper Belt Defense Circle, the human space fleet entered the asteroid belt defense circle. At the same time, the unified human government issued an order to evacuate all non-military personnel within the asteroid belt defense circle. Evacuate to the second defense circle, which is the underground buildings of several geological planets.

"... Dig this place again and leave." Luo Damu said to himself.

The single-person mineral collection ship requires only one person to carry out space mining operations. At the same time, the ship is equipped with a life-sustaining sleep device, which allows the mining ship to fly directly from the asteroid belt to nearby geological planets. This is what scientists have designed for these ten A new type of spacecraft manufactured during the Yuanda construction period.

There are a lot of workers like Luo Damu, but they are not actually qualified interstellar miners. Regular interstellar miners like Dongcheng and Ye Xingxun are high-level talents in the interstellar era.

Luo Damu is actually an ordinary young man in the 21st century. Due to academic and employment issues, he was still a delivery boy in 2024. After coming to this interstellar era, although he underwent re-education and re-study in accordance with national arrangements, But just like what he did in school, he would fall asleep whenever he was studying. There was really nothing he could do about it. His mind was indeed not bright and he was not good at studying.

Because of this, he was unable to apply for those high-level positions, let alone elite positions such as interstellar miners. Until the ten-month war preparation period, all-people labor began, planetary defense facilities were constructed, and the four lines of defense Construction, as well as the collection of the most scarce minerals, etc., allowed Luo Damu to have a mining spacecraft of his own, and he truly realized, "Ah, it is really the interstellar age, it is really the sea of ​​stars." “Experience.

At this time, more than three hours had passed since the government issued a general evacuation announcement. In addition to some mining operations ships that had escaped from the asteroid belt, at least one third of the mining operations ships were still stranded here. In addition to the mining operations ships, In addition, a large number of construction workers, maintenance personnel and other non-combat personnel are also stranded in the asteroid belt.

Because the minerals have not been collected, because the defense facilities have not been built, because the maintenance work has not been completed...

The Kuiper belt defense circle has been breached, and the alien fleet is marching in. This news has already spread throughout the Internet. It is no secret to senior netizens like Luo Damu. Humanity may fail, so the idea of ​​​​extinction gradually emerges. in everyone's heart.

Under this situation, people like Luo Damu just feel that they can do nothing. They can neither help mankind win nor live alone in this lonely and empty universe. Then the only thing they can do is That’s all for now…

Dig another mineral...

Build another fort...

Maintain another piece of facilities...

Every ordinary person has such simple thoughts in his heart...

Luo Damu controlled the mining operation ship to fly to a small meteorite block, and watched as the mechanical arm stretched out and pulled it into the smelting chamber. After plasma smelting, the metal material was extracted, and the remaining impurities were discharged.

This is the latest mining operation ship. A ship can hold 80,000 tons of metal blocks. It has its own smelting and purification steps. After each operation is completed, it is equivalent to bringing back 80,000 tons of pure metal instead of 80,000 tons. of ore, the gap is huge.

"The cabin will be full soon, hurry up, pick this piece again..." Luo Damu murmured, his body and face were covered with sweat.

Just when he was aiming at the next meteorite block, an extremely bright light suddenly burst out in the distance. He subconsciously looked directly at it, his eyes immediately turned gray, and the glass window in front of the cockpit immediately turned dark green, but he For a while, I couldn't see clearly everything around me.

Following the burst of light, countless fires immediately appeared in the outer area of ​​the asteroid belt. At the same time, the three satellites of Alpha Giant also began to roar with electric light. For a moment, the electric light seemed to completely illuminate the dark universe. Bright.

When Luo Damu regained his vision, his mining operation ship had been hit by a meteorite and flew out of the mining area, heading towards the military no-fly zone.

"not good!"

Luo Damu immediately controlled the steering column and activated the emergency plasma injection device. The huge acceleration pressed him on the seat, and this driving force also caused the mining operation ship to escape from the meteorite's flight path, but at this moment he was already in the In the defense display theater, at least hundreds of electromagnetic scans were detected at the mining operation ship at one time. However, due to the internal identification code, there were no automatic defense weapons to attack it.

But before Luo Damu could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a human space battleship shooting out from the asteroid belt. This space battleship was less than ten kilometers away from him. The thick Gauss gun barrel, the current There were traces of shooting, and the unknown weapons attacking from a distance triggered the electromagnetic shield. For a moment, regular people who saw Luo Damu were stunned.

War...space war!

A kind of fear, expectation, and a kind of enthusiasm like the second disease was surging in his chest, but at this moment, another bright light flashed in the distance. Fortunately, this time the window had changed to dark green, so He just felt his eyes sting, but he could still see everything in front of him clearly, and then he saw a scene that made his blood boil, and a surge of anger and hot blood rushed straight to his forehead.

That human warship, that warship with a blue planet painted on the hull... was already torn to pieces at this moment, directly pierced by a beam-like weapon. At this moment, its main hull was being exploded, and there were about five more One-third of the ship's hull was torn apart and shot out towards the surrounding area.

"No no no...!"

Luo Damu roared with red eyes. At this moment, he saw a large piece of battleship cabin shooting towards him, and from time to time, human figures wearing exoskeleton armor were thrown out of the cabin. Luo Damu Mu watched all this blankly, and then he got excited and subconsciously drove the mining operation ship towards these human figures. While rushing towards him, he activated the mining operation ship's mineral cabin to throw out the command, and dumped the stored metal blocks. Throw them all away.

At this time, the entire war zone was already in a hail of bullets. Countless Gauss shells were fired back and forth. Luo Damu didn't know where he got the courage. He actually dared to drive a mining ship that didn't even have an electromagnetic shield to rush from the edge of the war zone. He went deep into the war zone, starting from the traces after the first battleship exploded. When he found the wreckage of the third silent warship, he turned a corner and rushed out of the rear of the war zone.

It was only then that Luo Damu jumped off the control chair crazily and strode towards the storage cabin. There were already hundreds of human figures densely packed in the storage cabin. He carefully flipped one up and looked at it outside. The surface of the skeletal armor was pitch black, without any light at all, and his eyes were dimmed.

One, one, one...

The more he searched, the more desperate Luo Damu became. His teeth were biting his lower lip, and his eyes were filled with tears before he knew it.

Gradually, Luo Damu opened another exoskeleton armor. There was some microelectronic light on it. He subconsciously wanted to put it aside, but he was suddenly stunned and immediately began to search for external buttons on the exoskeleton armor. , after entering various information such as his fingerprints, cornea confirmation, and voiceprint, the exoskeleton armor opened, and a man covered in blood rolled out from inside.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm still alive, I'm still alive... AI, the emergency sleep device is activated!" Luo Damu cried and laughed, and shouted loudly at the cabin.

At this moment, this man in military uniform covered in blood suddenly grabbed Luo Damu's arm, and he roared in an almost broken voice: "...it's time..."

Luo Damu didn't hear clearly for a while. He tried hard to pick up the soldier, but the soldier's strength that didn't know where it came from pulled his arm painfully. He spoke in a clearer, but also more hoarse and broken voice. He yelled: "It's time!!"

"Ten, no, twenty-two points, thirteen minutes and nine seconds!" Luo Damu immediately looked at the numbers on the cabin and replied.

The man in military uniform immediately roared: "Quick, check to see if there is a violent red beam bursting nearby, quick!"

As he spoke, the man in military uniform spurted blood from his mouth, ears and nose. Luo Damu immediately jumped up and ran to the cockpit. He exited the dark green protection mode of the front window. After looking at it for a few times, he yelled with red eyes and tears: " No, no red beam burst, no!"

"It's over...it's over!"

The soldier tried his best to support his body, but he had countless broken bones. He was able to live and wake up now. This was the result of all his willpower. After hearing the news, , he spit out a mouthful of blood, but he couldn't hold it up no matter what.

"The stardust is about to arrive. It's over. The gravitational wave stagnation field lacks our coordinates. It's over. Our army is over!!"

The soldier was talking, tears mixed with blood rolling down his face. At this moment, Luo Damu ran into the cargo hold again. The soldier's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately pulled Luo Damu again, and at the same time, his whole body They tried their best to pose as if they were about to kneel down, and he said hurriedly: "There are still less than three minutes left, and there are still less than three minutes left..."

"Comrade!"

"Can I die with you!?"
