Chapter 1534: Messy Fight

Ceres temporary base.

As the sentry looked at the First Fleet and the Third Orbital Airborne Brigade transport s.h.i.+p slowly leaving, his comrade next to him whispered in the communication channel.

“Why the orbital airborne brigade? Is there no other forces at the Pan-Asian Cooperation…”

As the air, s.p.a.ce, and land forces of the First Fleet, most of the tasks they usually performed were s.h.i.+p patrols; they rarely performed landing operations. There was a gap between them and the airborne brigade in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment strength.

But now, the Third Orbital Airborne Brigade was suddenly dispatched from the s.h.i.+p and to the surface for defense deployment. Many people felt a little strange.

The soldier standing on the side was a veteran. He understood the Pan-Asian Cooperation military system fairly well. The expression on his face was much calmer, and he explained eloquently, “Because the airborne brigade is a fast-reaction force, so sending them from here, compared to sending other troops from the Lagrange base station, takes around the same amount of time.”

“I see…”

“And in terms of infantry combat effectiveness, they are the strongest. The armored unit in Guanghan City cannot be deployed at all. Unmanned aerial vehicles with infantry attack is the best strategy, and deploying the airborne brigade is undoubtedly the best choice.”

“But what about Ceres?”

“Later, people from the First Fleet will come over to change defenses. Before that, we will be enough,” said the soldier. He looked at the sky and grinned. “I don’t believe there is anyone else that can attack us under the nose of the First Fleet.”

What’s more, even if the enemy did attack, they could just activate their naval guns.

No matter how strong the ground forces were, faced with suppression of firepower from high-alt.i.tude orbits, the enemies were defenseless…

Inside the base.

In the quantum computer array buried deep in the valley, the server cases were arranged in a fan shape like dominoes. The faces of every expert from Earth were full of shock.

“It’s hard to imagine… how this quantum computer array was built. There is also the energy component. The energy they used is actually nuclear fusion batteries!”

“Is it nuclear fusion batteries? In other words, before we occupied this place, someone came here and replaced the batteries regularly?”

“Yeah, probably…”

Academician w.a.n.g Sicheng listened to the voices of other people in the project team. He then coughed slightly, interrupting their whispers.

“That is not important anymore.”

He put on a serious expression and continued speaking in a serious tone.

“The First Fleet has transferred the command s.h.i.+p from the Lagrange Point base station, and Chairman Li Guangya has also approved my application. The right to use the quantum computer on the s.h.i.+p will be completely open to us. What we have to do now is, at all costs, a.s.sist this computer to complete its calculations and solve the ALPHA virus!

“All units, get in place quickly, and get ready to start work!”

…

In the deepest part of the virtual reality network, inside a conference room hidden in the sea of data, a man in a gray cloak spoke in an angry voice.

“What is going on in Guanghan City? I thought the first round of catastrophe starts with the Yangtze River Delta city group!”

“I don’t know about it either…” A person wearing a white mask had a heavy voice as he continued, “So far, it seems someone is acting in our name.”

“Acting in our name?” As if hearing a joke, Grey Cloak smiled. “Then who will bear my losses? My industry in Guanghan City has been completely paralyzed! In just three days, I lost at least 30 billion credit points!”

White Mask: “We will remember your sacrifice… But such a result is always good, isn’t it? For our common cause.”

“Not necessarily.”

Sitting at the main seat of the conference room, a man in medieval plate armor suddenly spoke.

He hadn’t spoken before, but at this moment, when he opened his mouth, the meeting room that was originally quarreling suddenly became quiet.

As an older member of the foundation, he had always laid out the entire plan to restart civilization.

This included buying bombs with robots as the entry point, or buying the ALPHA virus from s.p.a.ce pirates for improvement, or developing inside East Asia Energy…

Just like how everyone’s ident.i.ty was a mystery, no one knew his name. Even the oldest and most core member of the foundation only knew that he was called “Knight”.

After a pause, he continued, “The impact of the crisis outbreak in Guanghan City on the Pan-Asian Cooperation is far less powerful than that of the Yangtze River Delta or the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group. Moreover, this alerts the Pan-Asian Cooperation in advance.

“In addition to someone spoofing our name, the ALPHA virus in our hands may also have some serious problems.

“My suggestion is to stay dormant for a while… After we find out who is pretending to start this war in our name, then we can consider the next step.”

Grey Cloak asked, “Where is Lu Zhou? Morinaga has been captured. He doesn’t know much about us, but… he played an important role in our plan.”

Knight thought about this question for a long time.

He thought for about 5 minutes before he spoke.

“Leave him alone for now.

“The Security Bureau has been protecting him secretly. It will be difficult for us to succeed in an attack… And he seems to hold secrets that we don’t understand. Remember that bombing attack? It’s hard to imagine a person, who has nothing in this era, could survive that kind of attack.”

After all, it was unlikely for Lu Zhou to research second-generation controllable fusion.

White Mask nodded.

“Indeed, there should be some special secret hidden in his body. If we can figure it out, it may be able to produce unexpected help to our cause.

“At the very least, it can eliminate a hidden danger.”

…

“It seems this battle won’t end for a while.”

Jia Siyuan looked at Guanghan City, which was not far away, where the traffic pipelines lit up due to explosions from time to time. He was standing on the balcony of the top floor of the scientific research base.

He was quite emotional.

This was Nuwa City.

Everyone knew that this so-called city was just a joke. Its existence was only to allow East Asia Energy to legally obtain a piece of land for building an experimental reactor.

And Guanghan City was quite aggressive. In order to draw a clear line from these nuclear energy people, they set up a separate airlock on the only transportation route leading to this “sister city.”

Because of this separate airlock, all water and electricity resources in Guanghan City could not enter here, and personnel exchanges could only be carried out when both sides opened the gates at the same time.

Therefore, the high-energy rays of the fusion reaction could be s.h.i.+elded from the magnetic field of the reactor.

However, it was precisely because of this that this s.p.a.ce capsule located at the future second-generation controllable fusion reactor was forced to establish its own energy, air, and freshwater resource circulation system.

In order to ensure the safety of their engineers, East Asia Energy even established an independent security department under the approval of Pan-Asian Cooperation, to maintain the security of the entire research facility.

At the same time, Nuwa, which was located near Guanghan City, might be the only place on the moon that had not been attacked by war…

Those robots were not interested in them, and the Seventh Armed Brigade did not establish a defense line here either. Only those civilians who were stranded in the nearby commercial area, unable to return home, and unable to cross to the safe area, cast their sights on the safe heaven that was Nuwa…

Just as Jia Siyuan was about to go down from the balcony, a transparent airlock slowly released at the junction of Guanghan City and Nuwa City.

Standing behind the airlock was a group of dusty people who were all rus.h.i.+ng towards this side…
