In fact, Mars is also the only colony planet that the Human Federation recolonizes.
It took about a hundred years for the Human Federation to complete the environmental transformation of Feng Martian. Only limited by the technology at the time, the transformation was not thorough. The key is that the core of Feng Mars has been severely damaged. Even with the current technology, it is impossible to make Feng Mars the original state without using a lot of resources. As a result, after the transformation, the environment of Feng Mars is still not suitable for human survival.
Of course, after the temperature drops, it has been possible for humans to survive.
In the next few hundred years, before the outbreak of the Fourth Greenwich War, wave after wave of colonists came to Mars. Strictly speaking, these people are not colonists, but adventurers who are for money, for profit, for the sake of getting rich overnight, and for the sake of becoming famous overnight.
These people brought short-term prosperity to Feng Martian.
It can be said that this is also a flashback.
Although this wave of opening up lasted until the end of the Fourth Greenwich War, there was always a time to end, and after that, it would never be able to regain its glory.
In the Fourth Greenwich War, the Galactic Alliance was guarded strictly, and the Wolfsmoke Galaxy, where the beacon Mars was located, was the key defense area. Although the Silicon Magic Alliance has entered the Wolfsmoke galaxy many times, it has not succeeded once, or even approached, and has been blocked for several light years. That's why in this tragic war, the Wolfsmoke Galaxy was not affected much, let alone suffered severe damage. In addition, during the hundreds of years of war, legions of various civilizations came here, thousands of soldiers stationed in Feng Martian, and brought massive consumption. For residents of Feng Mars, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune.
At its peak, there were more than two billion soldiers from various civilizations stationed on Feng Mars!
You know, this is two billion officers and soldiers. If you count the entourage, especially the businessmen who come here to make war fortune after smelling business opportunities, there are even more. Although there are no accurate statistics, it is conservatively estimated that there are at least 50 billion people who have been to Mars during the Fourth Greenwich War, and there are not 10 billion civilians who have stayed on Mars for more than a year. five billion.
This prosperity continued until the end of the Fourth Greenwich War.
Because the demobilization of soldiers and the redeployment of the Greenwich Line took time, Feng Martian did not immediately decline after the end of the war.
However, the decline of Feng Mars is inevitable.
To put it bluntly, before the outbreak of the Fourth Greenwich War, the resources on the beacon Mars were almost exhausted. During the war, in order to provide the army with the words, the remaining resources on the Mars were madly exploited, mainly because it was cheaper to obtain the resources locally than to transport them from the rear.
Without resources, Feng Martian would have nothing.
With the depletion of resources, the residents of Feng Mars also left.
In the next few hundred years, Feng Martian was almost completely forgotten by the outside world, and even those colonists who moved out from Feng Martian were unwilling to look back.
Until the outbreak of the Fifth Greenwich War, Mars failed to regain its glory.
Quite simply, in the most tragic war in the history of the Galactic Alliance, especially at the beginning of the war, the Silicon Magic Alliance occupied the absolute dominance. More importantly, because as early as during the First Greenwich War, Feng Martian was occupied by the Silicon Magic army, and it was severely damaged. The core of the earth was almost completely lost. Therefore, after being occupied by the Silicon Magic army again, Feng Martian did not. Not taken seriously.
Apart from other things, without the core of the earth, it would be difficult for the Silicon Magic Alliance to transform Feng Mars into a planet suitable for the survival of silicon-based organisms.
Of course, this is not a bad thing.
Because it was ignored by the Silicon Magic Alliance, Feng Martian was not destroyed. After the Human Federation launched a counterattack, Feng Martian was quickly recovered.
At that time, in order to regain the Wolfsmoke Galaxy, the two sides were still in a battle here.
This battle also became a turning point in the fate of Feng Martian, but it failed to make Feng Martian reappear brilliant.
This is, after the defeat of the Silicon Magic army, some of the remnants fled to Feng Mars, and some of the Silicon Magic warships that were damaged in the fleet decisive battle landed on Feng Mars. After regaining the Wolfsmoke Galaxy, the Human Federation left a legion responsible for sweeping away the remnant enemies. This corps was stationed on Feng Mars, and some officers and soldiers stayed after the war. After the war, some adventurers came to Feng Martian to obtain the income needed for survival by digging out the silicon charm battleships that crashed on Feng Martian and selling the items on the battleship. It's just that there are not many Silicon Charm battleships available for mining, and they are non-renewable resources, so there are not many adventurers left to settle.
The soldiers who stayed, and the adventurers who came after the war and settled here are the ancestors of the current residents on the Mars.
Wick's father is a descendant of a soldier, and his mother is from a family of adventurers.
Of course, there are many people like Wick. It can be said that almost all the residents on Mars have the blood of soldiers and adventurers.
In Wick's memory, Feng Mars has always been like this, and it has nothing to do with "prosperity".
In fact, almost all young people, including Wick, want to leave this ghost place, even if they can't go to the home galaxy, they can go to other colonized planets.
However, for them, leaving Feng Martian is almost impossible.
The key is that Feng Martian has long since fallen, and has long been forgotten by people.
You know, there are only about 100,000 residents here, and all of them are poor. Not only are they impoverished, they also lead a nearly barbaric life.
Usually, there are only two kinds of people who come to Feng Mars. One is the postman who comes once a year, and rarely logs in, and leaves after dropping the parcel, and will never stay. The other is merchants who come here to buy goods, and they are irregular. Sometimes a few spacecraft will come a month, and sometimes there will be no one in a year. The frequency of merchants’ visits is actually determined by local residents’ discoveries, that is, they have made major discoveries, such as the excavation of the wreckage of a Silicon Charm spacecraft. Simply put, the merchant will only come when there is a business to do here. Even so, merchants rarely take local residents away. Quite simply, these aborigines who have not received a modern education are not considered laborers at all.
As for the federal authorities, even if they had not forgotten Feng Martian, they would have forgotten the residents here.
Among other things, Wick has never seen a federal official for so many years.
In other words, in the past thousands of years, the inhabitants of Beacon Mars have lived by themselves. If it were not for the occasional spacecraft, I am afraid that no one would have thought that this place was a colony planet of the human federation, and no one would be able to connect this place with modern civilization.
To put it bluntly, people like Wick are no different from the natives who lived here more than 5,000 years ago.
In fact, this self-defeating way of survival is not terrible, at least Wick thinks so.
Although the environment on Mars is extremely harsh, the resources produced are enough to feed 100,000 people. Besides, fewer people means that everyone gets enough, and it also means that everyone is very important. Without outside interference, Wick and the others lived a very comfortable life. Even if it was a bit harder and there was nothing to enjoy, but to be able to live peacefully with his family, Wick was also very satisfied.
It is a pity that the arrival of the Silicon Magic army has destroyed all good things.
When the enemy launched the attack, Wick was already asleep. The violent explosion awakened him from his sleep, and when he reacted, the enemy had already landed outside the village. Although panicked, Wick woke up immediately. More importantly, he is familiar with all the roads near the village, including those that lead to far away. Before the enemy came in, he escaped with his sister. Unfortunately, Wick's parents failed to escape. Wick and his sister waited outside the village until dawn, until the enemy set fire to the village and the two men left sadly. Later, they found the villagers who had escaped and followed the refugee army to a shelter more than a thousand kilometers away.
This is the first time in his life that Wick has come so far from the village.
Here, Wick met many refugees, including those brothers who later fought side by side. Similarly, he also met the leader here.
When I first saw it, Wick didn't believe that the plain-looking middle-aged man was the leader.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
Since then, after following the leader to achieve victory after victory and saving batches of refugees, Wick gradually believes that under the leadership of the leader, they will achieve the final victory, destroy all enemies, and defeat the invading powerful enemies. , To take home from the enemy.
Of course, Wick also had doubts, especially when the comrades around him fell one by one, he had doubts and even lost confidence.
It wasn't until one day that Wick suddenly understood.
Victory is not important, nor does it matter whether they can take home the garden. The key is what they should and can do, or what they are alive for.
The home is no longer there, and no one can go back to the past.
Although this is not the war Wick and the others want, they can only accept it, and the only thing they can do is fight the enemy to the end.
No matter whether it is putting down the weapon or surviving, nothing can be changed.
Even if you fight, you can’t change anything, you have at least fought, at least you have done something meaningful when you are alive, and can prove that you are alive.
This realization let Wick know that fighting is alive, and you have to fight if you are alive.
The enemy will not take prisoners, nor will they treat prisoners of war well. Surrender is death, and being caught by the enemy is also death, and the worst result of fighting with the enemy is also death.
Since death is the final attribution, why not put down the burden and do everything to fight the enemy
In fact, this is also the thinking of other people who are still alive and continue to fight the enemy. What keeps them going is not the hope that the leader preached, but a lifestyle that has been frozen. In fact, this is the way that all residents like Wick have long been familiar with. It's just that, in the past, it was fighting against the harsh natural environment, but now it is fighting against powerful enemies armed to the teeth.
