Chapter 201: Arrival
Neptune Orbit, on the side toward the Alpha Centauri system.
The Frontline Base, established three years ago, has long been completed and put into use.
However, if a life detector were to scan here now, it might find no living life forms present.
It seems as if the massive Dock here, along with various high-value Base Buildings and Facilities, have all been abandoned by people.
Pulling back to 50 million kilometers toward the Alpha Centauri system direction, a green square pattern is slowly floating in the universe.
The lens zooms in.
Only upon seeing the full view can it be seen that these square patterns are composed entirely of Spaceships with ferocious and domineering ship hull designs.
These Spaceships are 2000 meters long, nearly a thousand meters tall and wide.
Warships of such enormous size number as many as 5000 here.
Not only that, at closer range, it can also be seen that these Warships are covered with densely packed Small Spaceships, which at this moment are docked around the Punisher like an eternal motionless abstract painting.
“I am Wang Wei.”
A loud and highly recognizable voice suddenly sounds in the Fleet voice channel.
Everyone knows this is their idol and Legion Commander.
Great Xia Space Force, Commander of the Azure Dragon Legion responsible for guarding the Solar System’s frontline defense.
“10 billion kilometers ahead of us is that Spaceship of the Extraterrestrial Civilization that has made all of Great Xia prepare for war for 50 years to respond to.
Now, it is 5 hours away from us.
In 5 hours, we, as the strongest Azure Dragon Legion in the Space Force, will represent all Humanity in truly making first contact with this Alien Civilization that surpasses us just in Flight Speed.
Brothers, are you afraid!”
“Not afraid!”
In this instant, hundreds of thousands of Azure Dragon Legion Team Members erupt in earth-shaking roars.
This day, Great Xia has prepared for 50 years.
And have they not as well?
In those countless days of grueling training, when exhausted, they directly used the nutritional Medical Pods provided by Xinghai to repair bodily damage, and once recovered, immediately returned to the training ground to dive back into the tense, seemingly endless Time training.
For what?
Just for the arrival of this day.
They are Great Xia’s pride, and also the sharpest knife in the Space Force.
No one selected into the Azure Dragon Legion is a coward.
Wang Wei is very satisfied with the overall State of the Legion Team Members at present. At this moment, although he as Legion Commander needs to keep a calm head.
But hearing this shout suppressed for 50 years, he simply cannot suppress the excitement in his heart.
For this day, Wang Wei has waited too long.
After a long time, he calms his slightly agitated mood and says solemnly:
“Order, all units strictly follow the commands of their respective squad Commanders and adhere to operational norms without error.”
Jupiter-Mars Hub, Azure Phoenix Legion.
30,000 Punishers and 100,000 Young Dragon C-types, under the command of their respective Captains, orderly depart from the Port and head to the predetermined airspace for assembly.
The formation of these Ships remains impeccably neat and standard. This time, without A’dai’s command.
In this process, all operational instructions come from the command teams on each Warship, a habitual training method to ensure combat effectiveness even if communications are interrupted during operations, without relying on A’dai’s command and control.
Li Jian is not sitting in the Command Headquarters this time.
He leads the Base Command Headquarters directly aboard the Ship to take charge of overall command.
At this time, inside the Base, except for some Team Members responsible for operating fixed Defense equipment, it is basically completely Clear Airspace.
He lies silently in the Warship’s Cockpit, waiting for the Fleet to form up, his heart unusually calm.
In sixty-two years, his position has reached the current Young Marshal.
This position currently exists only twice in the Space Force.
Besides him, the other is Wang Wei, who volunteered to lead the Azure Dragon Legion to garrison the Frontline Base.
Above Young Marshal, currently in the Space Force, aside from Liu Shengzhan’s Marshal position, there is no one else.
Today is the ultimate test for the golden star on his shoulder; he will not let everyone down.
Countdown 1 hour, Blue Star Space Hub.
This Hub, previously extremely busy, had millions of personnel transferred to the Ground and entered indefinite Holiday not long ago.
Space Force Command Headquarters.
Fan Ren sits at the Deputy position, the main seat still occupied by Liu Shengzhan.
That shout from 4 billion kilometers away just now has also reached here.
Fan Ren can clearly see that the personnel at all levels in the Command Room, upon hearing that majestic response, have faces flushed red uncontrollably.
At this moment, he finally clearly feels that the cage in every Space Force soldier’s heart, imprisoning the fierce beast, has been slowly opened.
At this moment, fear simply does not exist in the dictionary of the millions of Space Force soldiers.
Fan Ren believes.
At this moment, they can overcome any difficulty.
“Attention please, Spaceship entering deceleration, about to arrive, deceleration Inertia is extremely high, matches the Data model I made from previous Observation without discrepancy, confirmed this Spaceship has performance to accelerate to 10% Speed of Light within one hour.”
A’dai’s voice sounds in the Command Headquarters, his words directly shattering the last bit of luck in Fan Ren’s heart.
He had always hoped that A’dai’s Observation 49 years ago had errors.
Unfortunately, the fact is, there were no errors.
However, Fan Ren is not dejected; he stands ramrod straight, eyes fixed on the display panel showing the speed count plummeting wildly.
He has prepared for 49 years according to this standard; all Efforts have been made.
He believes in these millions of Space Force soldiers, and believes that the Efforts of everyone in all of Great Xia will not be in vain.
Frontline Base, Azure Dragon Legion Fleet.
“Order, all Fleets enter combat State!”
At Wang Wei’s command, from the view in Space, in this instant, the Tail of nearly 10,000 Punishers lights up with dazzling plasma rings from Nuclear Fusion Engines.
Taking the first step proactively is Wang Wei’s choice.
“Opponent arrives in 5 minutes, estimated arrival point 100,000 kilometers from our Fleet.”
A’dai calculates the opponent’s precise deceleration-to-zero relative distance and quickly Reports.
Wang Wei nods and continues in his resounding voice: “Order, all Punishers immediately full speed to the 100,000 kilometers ahead!”
After his command, from the view in Space, this green square ‘painting’ suddenly shifts to deep blue light, rapidly pushing forward, soon gradually shrinking into a Light Spot.
“Warning, large number of Battleship-standard Warships detected ahead, model unknown, missing from Database.”
“Damn it, damn it, who can tell me what’s happening here?”
“Warning, that Fleet arrives in 3 minutes.”
Inside that rusty Spaceship, a creature with a Fox-like head but a body with four limbs capable of upright walking is roaring irritably.
Volume 3’s performance was poor, but I still laid all the groundwork that needed laying. Starting this volume, we enter the space civilization War era. Welcome everyone to Subscription.
