“We’ve received a reply!”
“The Galactic Federation has responded to us!”
Everyone in the Earth Federation was thrilled and overjoyed.
“Quick, see what they said!”
“Translating now…”
Moments later, the translator, with an excited expression, announced, “The Galactic Federation says they’ve noted our stance and asked us not to worry, but to first remove the laser defense system on Earth…”
“And then wait for the right opportunity, they’ll tell us when to act…”
“No wonder it’s the Galactic Federation, even in these times, they’re still considering us…”
“Yes, if they had told us to clash with the moon aliens right now, 1 would have had doubts, but now it’s clear, they truly are the Galactic Federation…”
“Then let’s continue to use nuclear weapons, to broaden our achievements and strive to remove the laser blockade system soon…”
Another Earth Federation meeting was convened.
During the meeting, the council members argued vehemently.
“We should first breach the laser blockade system above the summer capital; we are the core of the entire eastern hemisphere and hold a crucial strategic position…”
“No, we should clear the laser blockade system above Gusar City, we carry the freedom of humanity…”
The council members debated fiercely over which location’s laser defense system should be cleared next.
At the round table, Colonel Chu did not join in the argument. Instead, he was turning his ballpoint pen in thought.
On the side, Senator Sun, who had argued until he was hoarse, picked up his cup to drink water. Noticing Colonel Chu’s silence, he hastily said, “Little Chu, you should say something too…”
Colonel Chu glanced at him and frowned, “Don’t you find this matter a bit odd?!”
“What’s odd?!” Senator Sun was taken aback and looked puzzled.
Colonel Chu solemnly said, “The reaction of the moon aliens is a bit too calm.
There’s no anger for our rebellious actions…”
“After discovering that we wanted to use nuclear weapons to break the Protective Shield, they merely warned us not to harm their Xiaotian, without concerning themselves about anything else…”
“Even the Xiaotian is so important to them, the laser defense system is obviously more valuable, why would they ignore it?!”
Colonel Chu suddenly remembered a long time ago, Zhao Yu said during a negotiation that he was willing to trade a laser defense system to protect Earth. Could it be, were they really protecting Earth?!
Senator Sun chuckled, “Aren’t you overthinking? They’re clearly overwhelmed by Earth and are focusing all their energy on the Mars front…”
If we change our perspective…
Assuming the laser defense system is indeed protecting Earth, our actions to break the Protective Shield would be seen as suicide by the moon side.
As the saying goes, it’s hard to convince a doomed ghost with good words…
Colonel Chu was taken aback and quickly shared his speculation in a low voice.
“Could that really be the case?!”
Senator Sun was somewhat hesitant.
“Better safe than sorry…”
Colonel Chu whispered, “If the Galactic Federation wins, the presence or absence of a laser system isn’t critical, but if the laser defense system is truly protecting us, the larger the breach, the bigger the blow we could suffer…”
“So, what’s your idea?!”
“We let them argue, we withdraw…”
At this moment, Senator Smith stood up and loudly announced, “Everyone, stop arguing. I just had the tech team analyze this…”
“If we want to break the laser blockade system from a new location, we need at least 3,000 nuclear bombs…”
“But our Earth currently only has 11,000 nuclear weapons left. If we strike from other places, we can only break four base points at most…”
“But if we expand from the breach above Biyang City, it takes only 300 nuclear bombs to break a base point, and we could break at least 30 base points…”
“So, I think, at present, we should expand the breach as much as possible, at least to a degree that allows the Galactic Federation’s spaceship to land, right?!”
“Once the Galactic Federation’s spaceship arrives and lands on our Earth, would we still worry about not being able to remove the laser blockade system?”
As soon as he finished speaking, half of the council members stood up in agreement, clearly having consulted with Smith beforehand.
Senator Sun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not stand up to rebut. Choosing to be cautious, he decided to trust Colonel Chu for now.
Soon, the meeting concluded. The final decision was to continue attacking from above Biyang City and expand the breach in the blockade.
According to the plan, the remaining 11,000 nuclear bombs could break at least 30 base points.
This meant that centered on Biyang City, four or five surrounding cities would be free from the blockade.
“By calculations, our six fleets can completely break through the blockade of the Ming Fire Line with one day of intensive attack…”
The vanguard fleet was less than 1 billion kilometers away from the Ming Fire Point and would arrive in four days.
Aboard the temporary command ship, Leader Seth and the other captains were discussing the attack plan.
“We have two options…”
“The first is to break the Ming Fire Line blockade, then proceed gradually, continuously destroying the enemy’s fleets. We would set up a temporary base near the Ming Fire Point and defend it, gradually pushing forward…”
“The second is to break the blockade at the Ming Fire Point, send in a shuttle ship to rush in, bypass all enemy ships, head straight for Earth, and detonate the particle black hole…”
The first plan is safer but also more time-consuming.
The second plan is more aggressive, but if successful, it would achieve most of our mission.
“For the first plan, we might not have enough fuel and would need to set up a resource collection base on Mars…”
“Indeed, the enemy’s technology is average, but they have a lot of warships. Just near the Ming Fire Point, there are nearly 200,000 warships. Destroying them all would consume a lot of energy…”
Their particle black hole, though efficient in energy conversion (20 times that of the third-generation nuclear fusion), doesn’t create energy out of thin air and requires the addition of special fuel for the transformation reaction.
The fuel carried by the spaceship is limited. Besides the demand for propulsion, every attack also consumes energy, which will eventually run out.
In the past 20 days, the three fleets near Pluto have been attacking the Ming Fire Point mainly because a supply line has been set up on Pluto, which can quickly replenish energy.
In contrast, their six fleets had to conserve fuel, and had been just hurrying on their way for the past 20 days without firing a single shell.
“Then we’ll choose the second plan. According to the simulation results, we only need to create a 20-second counter-attack vacuum to allow the shuttle ship to cross the blockade…”
Seth pondered, “This plan is indeed resource-saving, time-saving, quick, and effective. The only drawback is that it sacrifices the people on the shuttle ship…”
“I’m not afraid to sacrifice. Leader Seth, let me go!”
“Let me go, there’s no coward on our Shuttle 9…”
“Our Shuttle 10 is willing to go…”
To their surprise, the moment he finished speaking, a bunch of shuttle crews volunteered for the mission.
Destroying a planet with a shuttle ship, for the crew who treat their ships as their beloved, is the greatest romance.
Even if they die, it’s worth it.
Moreover, if they succeed, their names would echo across the galaxy and might even enter the Hall of Heroes on the mother planet.
Of course, a significant reason why these crews are willing to step forward is that the simulator shows a failure rate of only one in ten thousand, typically due to shuttle malfunction.
After weighing for a moment, Seth made the decision. He said solemnly, “Shuttle 10, the mission of destroying the enemy star is entrusted to you…”
“We promise to complete the mission…”
The captain of Shuttle 10 saluted, resoundingly declaring, “Glenn people will live forever!”
“All members of Shuttle 10, leave your nameplates.. After we win the war, I will personally take them to the Hall of Heroes!”
