#678 - Chapter 678: Battleship Arrives on the Moon
Currently, there are 10 small, planet-class space carriers parked in Blue Star's orbit, each equipped with 10 small, planet-class frigates.
Each carrier has a core capacity of 200 warriors, each equipped with a small space fighter. Each small, planet-class frigate has a core capacity of 10 people, each also equipped with a small space fighter.
Therefore, the total number of warriors in each carrier group is now 300.
In addition, there are 168 personnel responsible for operating the warships and the fleet command team.
These 168 people are not part of the 3,000 future warrior combat sequence, but their strength is at the late Stage 9 level.
After arranging the tasks, the warriors returned to the rest area to prepare themselves.
The staff members took their positions, ready to await orders at any time.
"Commander, the First Space Fleet is ready and can depart at any time," Zhang Yuan Kui reported through the ship's large screen.
All other staff members also stood up and faced the screen.
"I now order, immediate departure, destination: the Moon."
"Yes, sir!"
"All mothership captains, listen up! Medium speed mode, automatic cruise, speed of 200 knots. Proceed to the Moon in your respective formations." Zhang Yuan Kui issued the departure order through the internal communication lines.
Upon receiving the order, the space carrier formations adjusted their postures and began accelerating towards the Moon.
The current model of space warship is designed with 4 flight gears, with speeds ranging from low to high as follows:
Low-speed mode: maximum speed of 20 knots, approximately 10 kilometers per second.
Medium-speed mode: maximum speed of 200 knots, approximately 100 kilometers per second.
High-speed mode: maximum speed of 1 megaknot, approximately 500 kilometers per second.
Long-range mode: maximum speed of 8 megaknot, approximately 4,000 kilometers per second.
Different modes are used for different flight scenarios.
Short-distance flights use the first three modes, while long-distance flights use the long-range mode.
The distance between Blue Star and the Moon is approximately 400,000 kilometers. If the long-range mode is used, it would take only 10 seconds to arrive at the fastest speed.
However, using the long-range mode for this distance is inconvenient because the acceleration and deceleration of the spacecraft also require time.
Medium-speed mode is the most suitable, as it does not require gravity acceleration and can fly directly in a straight line.
At a speed of 200 knots, the arrival time at the Moon is 1 hour.
…
The mobilization and long voyage of the first batch of space future warriors were also closely monitored by Old Qin and the Mayan High Priest.
"Little Chen, in what form do you think the survivors on the far side of the Moon will exist?" Old Qin asked, watching the warship leave.
"To be honest, I'm not sure. However, judging from the silicon-based microorganisms that we know exist on the ground, they will definitely be difficult to deal with," Dongfang Chen said.
"The unknown is the scariest! This battle is related to the future destiny of mankind, and I feel very nervous right now," Old Qin sighed.
"Yes, I am also very nervous. This batch of future warriors represents our highest combat power. If we cannot succeed with one strike, the road ahead will be very difficult," Dongfang Chen also sighed.
"Mr. Dongfang, I recently conducted another prophecy and found that the future destiny of mankind is still destruction. I am afraid that this operation will not be too smooth," the High Priest said.
If these three people were chatting like this in public, they would all be dragged out and shot.
As the supreme commander and decision-maker, the three of them were sighing and lamenting, seriously disrupting morale.
"Mr. High Priest, I have said before that the Sirius survivors are not necessarily all hiding on the Moon. And in all probability, they may not only exist on the Moon. After all, putting all your eggs in one basket is a very unwise choice."
"Therefore, the results of the prophecy do not necessarily indicate that this operation will fail. There may be other variables," Dongfang Chen said.
The High Priest nodded and said:
"Mr. Dongfang, I must sincerely apologize to you for this matter. I did not believe the information you provided before, and missed the golden period of development. I am very sorry."
The High Priest bowed.
"Mr. High Priest, there is actually no need. Choice and result are twin brothers, you know this best. You are the decision-maker and also the bearer of the results, and it actually has little to do with me."
Dongfang Chen said that it had nothing to do with him, but he secretly sold the underground base he built to them, and indeed earned a large sum of Zhen Crystals.
The High Priest nodded and said nothing more.
One hour later.
The warship arrived at the Moon.
Dongfang Chen issued the combat order.
The 200 warriors on each mothership had already entered their mechs, ready to leave the mothership and land on the surface of the Moon at any moment.
This should be the largest-scale human lunar landing operation in history.
"Little Chen, do you think the neurotropic virus was brought back from the Moon during the human lunar landing?" Old Qin asked.
"I don't think it's very likely. Unless the Sirius survivors can create a carbon-based biological virus and it has certain transmission conditions," Dongfang Chen replied.
