Beacon Mars, Dragon Fighting Continent, Thousand Beast Wasteland.

The setting sun has long since set, but the sky is still shining under the shining of the night fire and the moon. In fact, the night fire and moon is not a satellite of Mars, but a star in the Wolfsmoke galaxy, that is, a secondary main sequence star. Because the main sequence star, Wolfsmoke Star, is a huge supernova, this smaller red dwarf star is captured by the gravitational field and becomes a secondary main sequence star in the galaxy. Just because it is too far away from Feng Mars, it looks like a brightly shining satellite. At least thousands of years ago, the indigenous people living here always thought it was a satellite, gave it a beautiful name, and even regarded it as a god who guarded the night.

The aboriginal people have long been extinct, and now there are about one million human colonists living here.

Actually, that was a few months ago.

In that tragic battle, less than half of the residents escaped by chance, and they were scattered in various places, living a precarious life.

Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as surviving.

If it weren't for that person, I'm afraid these colonists who survived the catastrophe would not live long, let alone organize to fight the invading powerful enemy.

Those who survived are all lucky, but this also means fighting a strong enemy, which means going through more hardships.

In the past, months were not too long for anyone. But in this situation, after today, I don’t know if I can see the sun rise tomorrow, let alone a few months, even just a few days is extremely long, and the one who can persist until now has not collapsed is definitely Have a tenacious will. Not only need to persist in the will to live, but also the firm belief in fighting the enemy to the end.

Those who can persevere in desperate situations are by no means ordinary people.

It’s just that Wick knows that they are all ordinary people. What is truly extraordinary is their leader, who came to them in times of crisis, led them through the difficulties, and then led them to fight, and put everyone in desperation. See the leader of hope.

It's just that, like all the surviving colonists, Wick didn't know the leader.

He has seen the leader, only knowing that under that ordinary face, there is a strong will like steel, and an unshakable faith.

In addition, the leader has a talkative mouth.

No matter how great the failure, when everyone is desperate, the leader is still full of hope, and can always let everyone see hope again.

Perhaps the surviving colonists can persevere, which is the hope the leader said.

The question is, where is the hope

Like all survivors, Wick has always felt that the hope the leader said was just for everyone to persevere, not for real existence.

In fact, this is understandable.

In times of despair, if there is no hope, how can you persist

The point is that Mars is just an insignificant colonizing planet, and even the entire Wolfsmoke galaxy is not worth enough for the Federation to send reinforcements.

The Wolfsmoke Galaxy is one of the several colonized galaxies originally owned by the Human Federation, and it is also one of the oldest and most thoroughly developed colonized galaxies. However, the Wolfsmoke Galaxy does not actually have much resources. Five thousand years ago, when the human confederation had just established a foothold in the home galaxy, the human confederation was still a very weak civilization, and the civilization that settled in the North Fourth District was not just the human confederation. Although according to the rules set by the three top civilizations, all civilizations that have contributed to the war with indigenous civilizations can be assigned to colonial galaxies, and the human federation has also made contributions, but due to its own strength, the human federation is assigned to What is leftovers that other civilizations don’t want. The Wolfsmoke Galaxy is one of them, and it is precisely because of the lack of resources that it has not been favored by other civilizations.

However, for the human federation at that time, any colonized galaxy had great value.

To put it bluntly, in order to build a homeland galaxy, the Human Federation can only find ways to develop colonial galaxies and obtain necessary resources from colonized galaxies.

It is against this background that the Wolfsmoke Galaxy, and the only habitable beacon Mars in it, have been vigorously developed.

The hundreds of years before the outbreak of the First Greenwich War can be said to be the most prosperous period of Mars. At that time, there were more than 100 million colonists who settled here, and there were about 50 million builders. For about a hundred years during this period, Mars was the most prosperous planet in this region. Although it is far inferior to the homeland galaxy at that time, the sufficient labor demand has made many people come here for gold rush adventures.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.

The first Greenwich War completely changed the destiny of the human federation and also the destiny of Feng Martian.

Although compared with the subsequent Greenwich Wars, the first Greenwich War was nothing, or even a full-scale war. The main reason was that neither of the two warring parties knew each other well, so they had reservations and were not in the war. The use of all capital is tentative, but for the weak human federation, the impact of this war has been extremely long-lasting, and it has not dissipated until now.

The main thing is that the Human Federation is at the forefront of war!

In this war, Feng Martian was devastated and got this name.

At that time, Feng Mars was occupied by the Silicon Magic army, and less than 100,000 of the more than 100 million residents escaped, and the others died tragically under the iron hoof of the Silicon Magic army.

When the human legion regained the beacon Mars, this planet was completely different.

Quite simply, in order for the Silicon Magic army to be stationed here, the enemy transformed Feng Martian, using extremely primitive and barbaric methods. Break through the crust of Feng Mars, let the magma in the center of the earth surge to the surface, creating a high-temperature environment suitable for the survival of silicon-based organisms.

It can be said that just the magma covering the entire planet has made the Mars lose the value of recolonization.

However, the Human Federation did not abandon Feng Martian.

Quite simply, the Wolfsmoke Galaxy is too close to the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, less than five light-years away. In addition, the Wolfsmoke Galaxy happened to be on a route through the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, and it was the end of this route. Even now, this is the only route that can safely cross the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. Whether in peacetime or in wartime, this route has very significant strategic value.

After the end of the First Greenwich War, the Human Federation built a space fortress in the Wolfsmoke Galaxy. Only due to the technological limitations at the time, the Human Federation did not return to Feng Martian, nor did it make changes to Feng Martian. It just sent warships to Feng Martian for patrols from time to time.

Feng Mars is not suitable for human settlement, but it is very suitable for silicon-based organisms to survive.

Although after the war is over, the Silicon Magic Alliance will not invade aggressively, but those wild silicon beasts that have passed through the Greenwich Meteorite Belt must like the high temperature environment on the beacon Mars, and may settle down on the beacon Mars. Without controlling it, Feng Martian will definitely become a paradise for wild silicon beasts.

Obviously, no one wants a planet-star beast den in their own territory.

This situation lasted for more than a thousand years, during which two Greenwich Wars broke out. Fortunately, in the next two Greenwich Wars, the Galactic Alliance was fully prepared, and the top civilization took the lead in the war. Therefore, the impact on the Human Federation was not great, and the Wolfsmoke Galaxy was not captured by the Silicon Charm army. Otherwise, Feng Martian would not be what it is now, and it would not even exist for a long time.

After the end of the Third Greenwich War, Feng Martian ushered in its second spring.

At that time, the Human Federation was already one of the most powerful civilizations in the North Four Regions, and thanks to the great contribution made in the Second Greenwich War, it gained more colonial galaxies and assumed more defense missions. , And for the first time obtained the qualification to enter the Greenwich Line of Defense. According to the resolution made by the Galactic Alliance at that time, the Human Federation took over a section of the Greenwich Line of Defense. Although only one percent of the entire Greenwich Line of Defense, the Human Federation also gained the privilege of establishing military bases behind the Greenwich Line. More importantly, the line of defense taken over by the Human Federation is to the north of the Wolfsmoke Galaxy, and the Wolfsmoke Galaxy has become an ideal location for establishing military bases.

While the status is elevated, the Human Federation has also obtained more advanced technologies.

Of course, in the past thousand years, the technological level of the Human Federation has also been greatly improved.

It can be said that it is no longer difficult to transform the Feng Martian environment, and the establishment of a huge military base on Feng Martian is definitely not a problem.

In fact, this is also the original plan of the Human Federation.

This is to first carry out environmental transformation on Feng Martian, and then make Feng Martian the strongest military fortress in this area and even the entire jurisdiction.

A star-level military fortress!

If this idea becomes a reality, then Feng Martian will definitely not be what it is now, and it might not have existed long ago.

Very simple, a planetary-star military fortress, and only five light-years away from the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, it also guards the only route that runs through the entire meteorite belt, not to mention the Silicon Charm Alliance on the opposite side, even the top civilization of the Galactic Alliance. , And will definitely be greedy.

During the survey of Feng Mars, that is, in preparation for the construction of a military base, a major discovery changed the original intention of the Human Federation.

This is that there are a lot of precious resources on Feng Mars that are easy to mine, especially rare metals.

This unexpected discovery brought the second wave of development to Feng Martian.

In fact, this is also a blessing in disguise, because these rare metals that were almost exposed on the surface were originally in the core of the earth, and only flowed to the surface after the crust was pierced by the Silicon Magic Alliance. Because the environment is extremely harsh, the Human Federation did not find these rare metals before.

For the Human Federation at that time, this was definitely a huge treasure.

More importantly, the human confederation is in a period of rapid development and is in urgent need of various resources. Moreover, the Third Greenwich War has just ended, and there is no threat for the time being. The construction of military bases can be delayed for a while, and the development needs resources. It can't be delayed.

Just like this, the Human Federation did not build Feng Martian into a military fortress, but recolonized it.
