In the giant spacecraft manufacturing factory on the edge of the space city, six space docks are lined up. The towering gantry wields a large number of mechanical arms, like giants with infinite strength and ingenuity, quickly assembling the spacecraft.
At one of the shipyards, blue flames kept spitting out, and a super giant spacecraft slowly left the space shipyard and flew towards the depths of space to begin its first trial voyage.
…
Hundreds of millions of kilometers away from here, the door of a remote-controlled cargo spacecraft opened. Engineering robots tens of meters high pushed weapon modules one by one, separated from the spacecraft, and flew into space.
A few days later, a weapons launch platform with a diameter of more than two hundred meters appeared in space.
Weapon platforms like this are arranged almost every hundreds of thousands of kilometers. At a glance, they are densely packed and intertwined like a giant three-dimensional network. From time to time, a dazzling light shines into space and disappears into the infinite distance. at.
…
It has been nearly three years.
The mining area of Planet 4 has expanded hundreds of times compared to three years ago. An area of tens of millions of kilometers has been occupied by billions of mining machines. Looking down from space, the entire planet has been dented out of thin air. On a shallower level, a large amount of mass loss caused the originally extremely silent Planet 4 to begin to vibrate frequently and become turbulent.
As the war approaches, the atmosphere in the space city becomes increasingly anxious and depressing.
…
War command center.
"Have you not found the specific location yet?"
Bi Jianping walked into the war command center building and said in a hoarse voice,
In the past two years, the tremendous pressure has made his body worse and worse. The life-extending technology does not seem to be working on him. In just three years, he seems to have aged more than ten years and looks like An old man in his sixties or seventies.
"Their speed has not stopped. They have been flying at super-light speed. Our brain cannot lock the specific position." A middle-aged man with the rank of major general who accompanied them said with a solemn expression.
Since the army was first established, there was no mention of military exploits or qualifications at all. The military ranks of these soldiers were generally not high, and major general was already the highest military rank in mankind today.
A group of people walked into the command hall, where countless staff were busy. As the space defense system was hurriedly put online, it was still being debugged intensively.
Bi Jianping looked at the large central screen. A light source like a cursor was flashing and approaching Barnard's star system.
"How far away are we now?"
"About 0.3 light years!" the major general said after a moment of silence.
Bi Jianping's heart felt heavy when he heard this, as if a huge boulder was pressing on him. If the other party kept up this speed, humanity would only have more than a month left before the war.
"We don't have much time!" Bi Jianping sighed.
The atmosphere felt unspeakably depressing.
Superluminal flight is an unsolvable speed. It is faster than light, which means that it is already in front of you before you see it. Now the only way to determine its approximate location is to roughly locate the wave source through multiple space wave values.
However, this kind of calculation has serious errors due to the interference of stars, stars, and other space waves in the universe. A slight deflection by a small angle can result in a gap of tens of thousands or even tens of millions of kilometers. If you want to use space waves to locate and attack, hit The probability is hundreds of millions of times lower than winning the lottery.
However, this is already the only detection method for humans. Now he can only pray that these Bosnian invaders will cancel their curvature flight and have a head-on fight with humans, but there is little hope.
Although mankind's curvature engine technology is still in an experimental state, the theory and data are close to perfection. Unit 1 has also flown several short distances. Due to the gravity of the star system, it is basically difficult to interfere unless it is close to the star.
They are likely to fly all the way to the space city. By then, the entire huge space defense system will be in vain.
"It's time to start the evacuation plan!" Bi Jianping thought to himself.
…
"Madam, you can leave." In the manor, next to a luxury shuttle, a guard said respectfully.
"Then let's go!" Huang Jiahui glanced at the manor with nostalgia, not knowing whether she would be able to come back after leaving.
Several people got on the shuttle, and soon the shuttle took off into the sky and flew into the distance.
Wang Shishi was lying on the window, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window. Countless shuttles were like swimming fish, shuttling in the air orbit. Humanity has begun to evacuate. Most civilians will leave this space city and enter the micro-universe.
In the past three years, a new space city has been rebuilt there.
In fact, as early as a year and a half ago, human beings have been constructing and transferring materials in the micro-universe. Now, it has already begun to have the ability to be self-sufficient, and the huge amount of materials stored there is enough to meet the development of human beings within a hundred years. and survival.
"Wait, I want to go down." At this time, Master Wang shouted.
The guard was a little confused: "But the next flight is only half an hour away."
"Go down." Huang Jiahui looked at the eye-catching manor in the distance and sighed quietly. That was the mansion where Luo Yuan was located, a spacious and deserted place.
The shuttle quickly descended to a stop in front of Luo Yuan's mansion, and the guard opened the door.
"I'm going to see Brother Luo, are you going?" Master Wang turned around and asked after stepping out of the shuttle.
"Go ahead and come back quickly." Huang Jiahui looked calm and shook her head.
"I won't go either. He is no longer the same person as before." Zhao Yali's eyes were a little red and she wiped them.
Wang Xiaguang turned his head and said nothing.
"I... I'm not going either." Chen Jiayi said. Now Luo Yuan made her feel only fear. She no longer had the intimacy of being like a brother or a father, and she didn't want to go at all.
Wang Shishi looked at a person without any intention of going in to see him. She felt uncomfortable and depressed in her heart.
"Then I'm leaving." She turned around, tears streaming down her face.
She ran quickly into the manor, and her footsteps slowed down until she approached the hall. She had not been here for a whole year, but it seemed that there was no change at all. It was still cold and there was no sign of life. She I wiped my eyes, covered myself up, and then walked in.
It's a pity that Luo Yuan saw through it at a glance:
"Have you cried?"
"No, I got sand in my eyes."
"The dust in the air of the space city is less than a hundred nanometers and will not cause discomfort to ordinary people's eyes!" Luo Yuan said, "So you lied!"
Wang Shishi looked at Luo Yuan in a daze, why did things become like this? Is it really easy to forget feelings
"I'm sorry!" Human memory allowed Luo Yuan to react quickly. His tone didn't fluctuate at all, and he apologized without any sense of sincerity: "I shouldn't have said that. What do you want from me?"
Master Wang came back to her senses and felt sad for a while. Just like Sister Zhao said, this was no longer the Luo Yuan in her heart. She raised her head to hold back her tears and said with strength: "Brother Luo, we are leaving, going to the micro universe." ”
"I saw it. You have fourteen minutes and thirty-five seconds left before your next flight. You shouldn't have come to see me. Now you can only wait for the next flight." Luo Yuan suppressed the impatience in his heart. , said expressionlessly.
"But, Brother Luo, do you still remember me?" Master Wang looked at him disappointedly and said.
"Remember, every second I saw you, it was clearly in my mind." Luo Yuan quickly replied, still expressionless and without any fluctuation in his tone.
"But why have you become so indifferent? Are your feelings really gone? If I die here, will you be indifferent?" Wang Shishi finally couldn't help but shed tears. She has really had enough over the years. Although she tried hard to save her again and again, she was treated coldly by the other party. When she thought of the grievance in her heart, she finally lost consciousness and cried bitterly.
Seeing the clear tears falling to the ground one by one, Luo Yuan seemed a little absent-minded and abnormally did not reply in time.
emotion! Luo Yuan chewed these two words silently in his heart. He suddenly found that these two words seemed so unfamiliar, as if it was the first time he heard them.
