Ascension journey - 139. Chapter 139 Asteroid Belt

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

However, at present, restricted by material conditions, whether it is humans or dragons, there are very few macro strategies that can be selected in space operations.

In the empty space, if you lose material supplies, you will sooner or later be consumed by the enemy who can supplement and develop.

Earth, Mars, the 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 with current technology.

As for those planets that are farther away than Jupiter and lack sunlight, if you explore outside the solar system, they are somewhat of a transit value.

After the anti-matter bomb trap pits transformed by the Human One Mothership, the remnant dragons in space gathered near the asteroid belt and settled far away from the base of the human asteroid belt.

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

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

There are a large number of types of hatching forces in high-level dragons. In addition, with the support of sufficient energy, the cells of the fifth-level dragons can even multiply in the complex asteroid matter, and quickly evolve into a fighting giant. Dragon.

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

The high-level dragons, the main force in space combat, seem to take a long time, harsh environments, and detailed adjustments to be born. In addition to the mysterious explosion when the earth dragons were born, the speed of the high-level dragons is still accepted by humans. 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 we had to wait for the maintenance of the mothership to start the pursuit is mainly because very few human warships have independent navigation capabilities in the queue of human warships, and they have been sent to the human mineral bases in the asteroid belt to prevent dragon attacks.

Most warships are essentially mothership supplements and vassals. Except for the nuclear engines that are activated in emergencies, most of the time they are supplemented by high-energy electromagnetic waves emitted by the core mothership, and they can even rely on the mother ship for daily travel. The ship’s rechargeable laser performs a movement similar to a “solar sail”.

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

And the core engine of the mothership, the fuel needed-

Antimatter, which is mainly composed of negatively charged antiprotons and positively charged positrons, can annihilate each other with normal matter and carry out nearly 100% conversion of mass to energy to generate huge energy.

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

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

Relying on Jupiter’s endless fusion fuel reserves, after mankind pushed the No. 2 mothership’s antimatter reserve to 30%, they couldn’t wait to kill the dragons who were violent 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 time, the high-level dragons representing their quality have not changed much, and the tactics of the dragons after the war are as reckless as before——

There are no bends and turns, so don’t be afraid.

The dragon didn’t take his own fate seriously at all.

In this case, humans with superior military strength can easily pull out more and less fire scenes, relying on frigates and a large number of short-range small aircraft to delay the pace of the dragons, and orderly killing a few high-level. Giant dragon.

However, the top level five dragons still caused a lot of losses to mankind under this disadvantage. If they can’t accurately focus the fire, most of the weapons of warships can hardly cause damage to the level five dragons.

But in the cosmic space where lasers require complicated preview procedures to hit, it is not so easy to complete simultaneous focusing and fire.

In the end, Mothership No. 2 ventured close to the core of the battlefield, using high-energy particle cannons and anti-matter bombs propelled by antimatter engines to kill a handful of Tier 5 dragons.

Although the mothership paid a considerable price for this, it also nailed the superiority of mankind, and the entire battlefield entered garbage time.

The energy-saving mothership maintains support to the surrounding fleet, and swarms of 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 short and stout bald black Andrew stood in a closed metal box, descending rapidly toward the depths of the mothership along the magnetic well.

Looking at the mothership’s foreign war scene displayed on the tablet in the hand, and watching the last five-tier dragon that was several kilometers long and had tore a fissure in the battleship formation was destroyed by the mothership’s main gun after it got close. , Andrew also just nodded, but there was not much joy on his face.

“If the information is true… the dragons put too much water, how can they be happy…”

As the consul in charge of resource allocation, Andrew’s actions at this time are quite a bit of a leave of absence.

But he must personally confirm the information he had previously obtained accidentally. If the battle is over and the humans begin to implement the next plan, it will be too late.

Relying on the status of a member of the Supreme Union Council, Andrew was unimpeded in the Mothership II. After leaving the main line of the magnetic shaft, he turned the railcar 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 was looking for…or rather, people…

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

A man near the door frowned and dropped his work, walked up to Andrew and spread his hand, “Welcome, Andrew Archon… It’s really surprising. I think we should have hidden it well, but in the end we were still caught by you. Found.”

“Will you be surprised by this? Don’t be kidding. After all, the material deployment has to go through my system. I don’t realize that it is really a ghost.”

Andrew sighed while looking at a room that looked exactly the same, found a chair in the room and sat down, and said to the young man who was sitting next to him:

“Minister Chen, you stay here and do some experiments that are not easy to put on the surface. Everyone actually knows it. It’s just that everyone respects each other and doesn’t mean to turn your old bottom.”

At this time Minister Chen, who clearly should be in charge of the mothership research department, smiled at Andrew: “Then you don’t seem to respect me very much, Archon Andrew.”

“Respect for this feeling, it’s hard to apply to you…”

He glanced at someone in the room with dragon wings and dragon scales, who was obviously a dragon blood warrior, who looked similar to Minister Chen next to him, and looked at the body of Minister Chen lying on the experiment platform in the depths of the room. Andrew again Sighed: “During this time, your lower limit is getting lower and lower…”

Minister Chen was noncommittal: “If this is not the case, how can our technology not retreat in the war with the dragon clan, but continue to support it to the present?”

Andrew shook his head: “Just forget about self-replication. You are also doing dragon blood modification and human experiments that have been explicitly prohibited… This is close to the core engine of the mothership. Are you afraid of making problems?”

“I still have confidence in the safety protection system in this laboratory. Besides, if the dragons can remotely control the Dragon Blood Warriors, they have too many opportunities to destroy us, and there is no need to hold me for a while.”

Minister Chen shrugged and said, “Consultant Andrew, are you here to talk about 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 looking up: “This question, you should ask Commander Eddie, he is the combat commander of the fleet.”

“It’s not the battle of annihilation right now. You should know what I’m asking…” Andrew became serious. “Is the information you covered up in the system records of the scientific research department true?”

“An introduction to dragon gene structure?” Minister Chen raised his head and smiled calmly. “Yes, the information mentioned in it is true. The peak of dragon individuals is far more than five levels. Only the outline can be detected. There are nine levels. .”

After confirming the news that would crumble morale, Andrew touched the cold sweat on his forehead and murmured: “That’s why you would propose to bombard the earth with an asteroid…”

Minister Chen nodded: “To pull a large number of huge asteroids into the earth, only those giant dragons that have been observed on the earth can not be prevented by this ability. If you care about the dragons on the earth inexplicably, there are really more advanced ones behind them. Strength, I must also show up at this time.

“If it appears, at least we can take the lead when the other party stops the asteroid, and by the way, we will try to find out part of the enemy’s true face.

“If not, it proves that we humans still have hope, and the dragons who rely on first-hand advantage and meteorite barrage to deal with the earth will not suffer.”

“Hope? Okay…” Andrew, who opposed the asteroid program in the meeting before, changed his attitude at this moment.

Andrew couldn’t help but think of the civilized fire plan proposed by Minister Chen and passed in Parliament.

Close to drifting and generally flying to Centaurus spacecraft, Jupiter satellite modified camouflage state III mothership, collective backup of human genes and mental memories in all corners of the solar system, and supporting automated reproduction bases…

The worst preparation is for this test… It seems that this guy is not optimistic about the outcome of the human-dragon war…

Just as Andrew sighed, news from the battlefield outside the mothership was passed to Andrew and Minister Chen——

The war of annihilation ended smoothly, and the plan for the next phase is waiting for decision to be implemented.
