Chapter 262: Ring Planet Defense Project

Earth calendar year 2105.

Looking at the vast white field outside the window, Levi sighed deeply.

"Aquitas, it's getting colder."

He did not turn his head and said softly to himself: "Such an environment has greatly affected our starship manufacturing progress."

Sitting on a large chair in the room was a female Proxima Centauri.

Hearing Levi's sigh, she slowly stood up from the chair and walked to the window.

"Yes, Father."

"The condition of the main star is getting worse and worse. Starting from the past two years, bad weather has begun to affect our work progress."

"Many Proxima people even began to protest against the hard work day after day."

"Damn..." Levi roared in a low voice with a gloomy look, "They are building an escape spaceship for themselves!"

"If they don't want to work, they can just find a quiet corner and wait to die!"

"Father..." Aquitas looked at Levi in surprise.

Obviously, she didn't expect her father to say such words.

"If this continues, the number of people who can successfully leave in the end will probably be reduced."

As he spoke, Levi closed his three pairs of eyes in pain.

"Maybe... I should talk to them..."

He spoke so softly that Aquitas, who was standing next to him, didn't hear him clearly.

"What?" Aquitas was stunned and cast a doubtful look at his father beside him.

Levi didn't speak, just looked out the window at the huge disc-shaped spaceships.

The construction progress of each spacecraft is different.

The progress is fast, 80% of the construction work of the spacecraft has been completed.

As for the slow progress, basically only one shell has been completed.

"Why……"

Levi opened his breathing hole and sighed deeply: "Aquitas, go back."

Hearing this, Aquitas opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something more.

But when the words reached his lips, they turned into a gentle sigh.

"Okay, Father."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.

The moment she reached out to open the door, she suddenly turned around, with a hint of worry in her three pairs of eyes: "Father, are you really okay?"

Hearing Aquitas's voice, Levi couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He was silent for a while and looked away from the window.

"I'm fine, Aquitas."

"Don't worry, I will take you away from this terrible planet."

Upon hearing this, Aquitas's thinking organ revealed a graceful arc: "I believe in you."

After saying that, she turned and left the room.

The sound of the door closing echoed in Levi's ears, and gradually, his eyes gradually became firmer!

…

A few days later.

Proxima Central Academy of Sciences.

"Levi, you're finally here."

The moment he saw Levi, Nartes's six eyes suddenly lit up!

Good guy, let him wait!

Originally, he thought it would only take a few days for Levi to wake up.

As a result, he had to wait for five years at the Central Academy of Sciences!

Five years!

Do you know how he spent these five years?

Although his heart was turbulent, Nartus still maintained his "demeanor" as much as possible.

"How do you think about it, Levi?" Nartus showed a meaningful smile to Levi.

Levi was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

"you're right."

"I join you."

"However, I agreed in advance to ensure the safety of people around me!" Levi's breathing was very rapid. "There is also a quota for landing on the spaceship. I need..."

Nartes waved his hand and said lightly: "Don't worry, we will not go back on our promise to you."

"Ten places, the specific list is up to you to choose."

"Only ten?!" Levi's brows suddenly frowned, "So few?"

Nartus, who was dressed in black robes, looked at Levi with a condescending look: "What else?"

"Do you know how much it costs to travel to farther star systems?"

"Ten spots is already the biggest reward for you."

Levi's breathing became more rapid, and his breathing holes opened and closed rapidly.

"good."

He struggled to hold back a sentence: "What do you want me to do?"

"Very well, come with me to see Mr. Augustus first."

The smile in Nartus's eyes became more obvious: "He will tell you the next arrangements."

After saying that, Nartes turned and walked towards the inside of the Academy of Sciences.

Looking at Nartus's back, Levi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he felt like a different person.

He shook his head silently, and after shaking off the strange feelings from his thinking organ, he took steps to keep up with Nartus.

…

Earth calendar year 2130.

There are still 16 years until the human fleet arrives at Proxima Centauri.

At this time, Proxima b has been covered by a thick layer of snow and ice.

The originally colorful Proxima Centauri b has become a white planet.

Since the news of the upcoming arrival of the Solar System Fleet spread, and with Levi's order, countless Proxima Centauri and Marus began spacecraft modification plans and planetary defense project construction plans.

The spaceship transformation plan, as the name suggests, is to transform the original escape spacecraft into a spaceship suitable for combat.

The construction plan of the ring planet defense project consists of countless space-based electromagnetic guns and space-based high-energy laser weapons.

These weapons transformed Proxima b into a hedgehog covered with thorns.

The most important project in the entire project is the 12 land-based giant high-energy laser cannons.

Thanks to the extremely low temperature and dense atmosphere on the surface of Proxima b at this time, the heat dissipation problem of laser weapons has been well solved.

In addition, it is placed in the mother planet, so there is basically no need to worry about any energy supply problems.

Therefore, the 12 giant laser cannons built around the equator of Proxima b have become the killer of Proxima civilization.

At the same time, they began to build underground projects.

This can not only avoid the attack from the solar system fleet, but also block the cold air from the outside.

In the underground city, Augustus sent a communication request to Levi.

"Levi, how is the progress of the defense project?"

Facing Augustus, who is in charge of the entire Proxima civilization, Levi respectfully placed his hands on the top of the thinking organ.

"Respected Sir Augustus."

"The underground city has been built."

"According to the current progress, it will take about 15 years for the ring planet defense project to be fully completed."

On the screen, Augustus's thinking organ showed no expression.

"Too slow!"
