Uplifting Journey

Chapter 138 Asteroid Belt

The battlefield in space seems to be vast and boundless, with endless space for tactical movement.

However, under the current constraints of material conditions, whether it is humans or dragons, there are very few macro-strategies that can be chosen in space operations.

In the empty space, without material supplies, sooner or later they will be consumed by enemies who can replenish and develop.

Earth, Mars, asteroid belt, and Jupiter, the wars between the two sides basically revolve around these four material points.

Mercury and Venus are too close to the sun. Although it cannot be said that there are no resources, it is too difficult and inefficient to collect them with current technology.

As for those planets that are farther away than Jupiter and lack sunlight, if they explore outside the solar system, they will have a little value as a transit.

After being pitted by the antimatter bomb trap transformed by the human mothership No. 1, the remaining dragons in space gathered near the asteroid belt and settled down at a position far away from the human asteroid belt base.

The asteroid belt, which is rich in various metal elements, is a good material supplement point, especially for those dragon species that use fission dragon crystals.

As a biological weapon, the giant dragon naturally has no shortage of methods for violent soldiers.

Among the high-level giant dragons, there are a large number of types that incubate troops. In addition, with the support of sufficient energy, the cells of the fifth-level giant dragon can even reproduce in complex asteroid matter, and quickly evolve into giants with combat effectiveness. dragon.

However, most of the catalyzed dragons are low-level dragons, and they are basically cannon fodder in the face of the powerful firepower of the human fleet.

The high-level giant dragons that are the main force in space combat seem to need a long time, harsh environment, and careful adjustments to be born. In addition to the mysterious explosion when the earth dragons were born, the production speed of high-level giant dragons is still acceptable to human beings. within range.

At this time, the human battleship group with the No. 2 spherical mothership as the core has reached the asteroid belt and is in direct contact with the dragon army.

The reason why they had to wait for the mothership to complete the preparations before starting the pursuit was mainly because very few of the human warships had the ability to sail independently, and they were all sent to the human mining base in the asteroid belt to prevent dragon attacks.

Most of the warships are essentially supplements and appendages of the mothership. Except for the nuclear engines used in emergencies, most of the time is supplemented by the high-energy electromagnetic waves emitted by the core mothership. During daily travel, they can even rely on the mothership alone. The ship's powered laser moves like a "solar sail".

In doing so, on the one hand, it takes into account the impact of huge fuel and corresponding engines on the performance of the warship, and on the other hand, because getting rid of these two can greatly reduce the cost and manufacturing difficulty of the warship.

As for the core engine of the mothership, the fuel needed——

Antimatter, mainly composed of negatively charged antiprotons and positively charged positrons, can annihilate each other with normal matter, and undergo nearly 100% mass-energy conversion, thereby generating huge energy.

However, antimatter is very difficult to prepare and store. Not only does it need to consume tens of times the energy of antimatter to maintain its existence, extract and use it, the environmental requirements of these processes are also extremely harsh.

The human side currently only has the core mothership to provide this environment.

Relying on Jupiter's endless fusion fuel reserves, after pushing the antimatter reserves of the No. 2 mothership to 30%, human beings couldn't wait to kill the dragons who were rampaging in the asteroid belt.

There is no suspense in the war. Although the number of dragons has returned to the previous scale in a short period of time, the high-level dragons that represent their quality have not changed much, and the tactics of the dragons after the war are as reckless as ever——

There is no detour, don't be cowardly, just hate.

The dragon doesn't take his own life seriously at all.

In this case, the human beings who have the superiority in military strength can easily pull out more fire scenes, relying on frigates and a large number of short-range small aircraft to delay the pace of the Dragon Clan, and kill the few high-level soldiers in an orderly manner. dragon.

However, the top-level fifth-level giant dragon still caused a lot of losses to human beings under such a disadvantage. If they could not accurately focus and concentrate fire, most of the weapons of the warships could hardly cause damage to the fifth-level giant dragon.

But in the space where lasers need complex preview procedures to hit, it is not so easy to complete the focused fire that arrives at the same time.

In the end, the No. 2 mothership ventured close to the core of the battlefield, using high-energy particle cannons and antimatter bombs driven by antimatter engines to kill a handful of level 5 dragons.

Although the mothership paid a high price for this, it also nailed the advantages of human beings, and the entire battlefield entered garbage time.

The energy-saving mothership maintains support for the surrounding fleet, and the swarm-like warships and giant dragons are flying in the three-dimensional space near the mothership, strangling each other with all their strength.

Inside the huge No. 2 mothership, the stocky bald-headed black man Andrew stood in a closed metal box and descended rapidly along the magnetic well toward the depths of the mothership.

Looking at the battlefield scene outside the mothership displayed on the tablet in his hand, he watched the last level five dragon that was several kilometers long and forcibly tore a crack in the formation of the battleship, and was destroyed by the main gun of the mothership after getting close. , Andrew just nodded, but there was not much joy on his face.

"If the information is true, the Dragon Clan released too much water, how could they be happy."

As the consul in charge of resource allocation, Andrew's actions at this time were a bit like leaving his post.

But he had to personally confirm the information he had obtained by accident. It would be too late if the battle was over and humans began to implement the next plan.

Relying on his status as a member of the Supreme United Council, Andrew was unimpeded in the No. 2 mothership. After leaving the main line of the magnetic well, he turned the rail car twice and came to a depth close to the core engine of the mothership.

After passing through a bunch of isolation doors and coming to a room that was not specially marked in the mothership system, Andrew saw the person he came to look for, or rather, people.

With the opening of the last isolation door, Andrew walked into the laboratory filled with various instruments. A group of people inside looked up at the door, and then continued to concentrate on their own work.

A person near the door frowned and put down his work, walked up to Andrew and spread his hands, "Welcome, Consul Andrew is really surprising, I think we should have hidden it well, but you still found it. "

"Will you be surprised by this? Don't be kidding. After all, the allocation of materials has to go through my system. I didn't find out that there is really a ghost."

Andrew sighed looking at a room full of people who looked exactly the same, found a chair in the room and sat down, and said to the young man who came to sit next to him:

"Minister Chen, you stay here to conduct some experiments that are not easy to put on the bright side. Everyone knows it, but everyone respects each other, and you don't mean to turn your back on yourself."

At this time, Minister Chen, who was supposed to be in charge of the mothership research department, smiled at Andrew: "Then you don't seem to respect me very much, Consul Andrew."

"Respect for this kind of feeling is difficult to apply to you."

Glancing at a person in the room with dragon wings and scales, who was obviously a dragon blood warrior, who was very similar in appearance to Minister Chen beside him, and then at the corpse of Minister Chen lying on the test bench in the back of the room, Andrew again Sighed: "During this time, your lower limit is getting lower and lower."

Minister Chen was noncommittal: "If it wasn't like this, how could our technology not retreat but advance in the war with the Dragon Clan, and support it until now?"

Andrew shook his head: "That's fine with self-replication. You are also doing dragon blood modification and human experiments that have been banned. This is a place close to the core engine of the mothership. Aren't you afraid of causing problems?"

"I still have confidence in the safety protection system in this laboratory. Besides, if the dragon clan can remotely control the dragon blood warriors, they have too many opportunities to destroy us, and there is no need to catch me for a while."

Minister Chen shrugged and said, "Consul Andrew, did you come here just to say this?"

"No, I'm here to confirm." Andrew asked with a tired expression, "Minister Chen, can we humans really win?"

Minister Chen looked down at a projection tablet in his hand, and said without raising his head: "You should ask Commander Eddie about this question, he is the combat commander of the fleet."

"It's not the annihilation battle in front of you. You should know what I'm asking." Andrew became serious. "Is the information you concealed in the system records of the scientific research department true?"

"An introduction to the genetic structure of the dragon race?" Minister Chen raised his head and smiled calmly, "That's right, the information mentioned in it is true. The peak of the dragon race individual is far beyond level five, and those who can only detect the outline have nine levels. .”

After confirming the morale-destroying news, Andrew touched the cold sweat dripping from his forehead and muttered, "That's why you proposed to bombard the earth with asteroids."

Minister Chen nodded: "The giant dragons who have pulled multiple huge asteroids to hit the earth, just because the earth has been observed, don't have the ability to stop them. If the dragons who care about the earth inexplicably, there are really more advanced ones behind them." Strength, at this time, must also show up.

"If it appears, at least we can take the lead when the opponent stops the asteroid, and by the way, we can test out some of the enemy's true face.

"If not, it proves that we humans still have hope, and relying on the first-mover advantage and meteorite barrage to deal with the dragons on Earth will not suffer."

"Hope? Alright." Andrew, who had previously expressed opposition to the asteroid plan in the meeting, changed his attitude at this moment.

Andrew couldn't help but think of the civilized tinder plan proposed by Minister Chen and passed by the parliament.

The spaceship that is close to drifting and flying to Centaur, the disguised No. 3 mothership modified by Jupiter satellites, the collective backup of human genes and thinking memories in all corners of the solar system, and the supporting automated reproduction base

Those worst preparations are just for this test? It seems that this guy is not optimistic about the result of the human-dragon war.

Just as Andrew was sighing, news of the battlefield outside the mothership reached Andrew and Minister Chen——

The war of annihilation has ended successfully, and the plan for the next stage is waiting for decision and implementation.

Looking at the number of subscriptions, I feel cold, is it true that salted fish is also salted fish?

Strange, how did the vip selected obviously get sent to the normal volume? Do you want to save it once?

It is said that this world wants to try to write longer, but in the end, it becomes a mud pit and sinks itself into it, but it is busy at this time and it is on the shelves again.

What kind of multi-role multi-scenario perspective, what kind of classic low-level space war. I can’t write at all.

This world is over, I really should write the protagonist honestly, my cute new writing skills are really... hey.
