Chapter 220 Fleet array! Gunboat attack! Interstellar war!

However, when it comes to the most critical and impressive technology of the Reaper civilization, it is definitely inseparable from the energy shield!

In the original film of "Independence Day", after the negotiation with the Reaper civilization failed, humans decided to launch tactical nuclear bombs towards the Reaper's city destroyer warship.

But the result was that the Reaper's energy shield was able to perfectly offset the human nuclear bomb.

Not to mention defeating the Reaper's warship, there was no way to break their defense!

In the end, it was humans who relied on electronic viruses to hack their weapons and defense systems, and then defeated the Reaper civilization from the inside and won the battle to defend the earth.

Who would have thought that the Reaper civilization, which had a great advantage, would lose to a crashed reconnaissance plane and be intercepted by humans.

After thinking about it, Li Ang decided to learn from the human methods in the original work and raid the interior of the Reaper civilization's mothership with a decapitation operation.

To this end, he planned to dispatch two Infinity-class ships, three RCS armored cruisers, and several Storm Eagle gunboats and shuttles as the assault fleet.

At the same time, Li Ang also decided to take a two-pronged approach, asking Song Zhaomei to prepare the network virus and the Biotechnology Department to prepare the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus.

At that time, don't worry about anything, just use whatever means to deal with these alien heretics, and that's it!

'After this trip, we can finally take down the War Moon and end the mission. '

Li Ang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Since the Reaper civilization came to him, he must catch all these heretics in one fell swoop.

Including the Reaper's Queen, all of them will be integrated into the power grid!

Of course, there are also the technology points of the Reaper civilization.

Once this decapitation operation is successful, the Universal Corporation will take over the Reaper's energy shield, earth core mining technology, and super-light speed navigation technology.

And the ready-made super-giant battleships!

Li Ang withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about the next battle. He turned back to his desk.

With the help of the transcendental AI Europa, Li Ang checked the relevant information of this combat operation on the holographic screen.

From the list of combatants to the vehicles used, as well as weapons and equipment, he actually has political considerations!

In addition to supporting employees from other Earths, as well as the younger generation of warrior officers, and knocking many executives within the giant company.

This strike action and the production capacity of the giant company are also the "show" that Li Ang wants to let the people of "Edge of Tomorrow" see!

Human nature is to admire the strong. Whoever has a big enough fist, the public will follow him.

Before this, the Universal Giant Company shocked the humans of Earth 003 with large-scale projects such as "space elevators" and "moon bases".

Proved the strong production capacity of the giant company.

And now, what Li Ang has to do is to deploy troops and send out a huge fleet to win this interstellar war with a crushing victory.

This war and the established victory are not only a further expansion and reshuffle of the internal interests of the giant enterprise, but also a deterrent to the human beings of the earth.

Li Ang has to let his subordinates and employees see the strong strength of the world giant enterprise and the excellent strategic vision of the executive.

The arrival of the harvester civilization just gave Li Ang an excellent opportunity for internal rectification.

However, there will be sacrifices in war.

Li Ang must be mentally prepared to face casualties. After confirming that there is no doubt about the combat unit this time, he set his sights on the new welfare plan.

[Adjustment of pensions for the fallen personnel of the world giant enterprise] and [Bonus and welfare plan for the combat unit of the market development department].

As the difficulty of the subsequent world of the heavens increases, the possibility of casualties and difficult combat missions will also increase several times.

Correspondingly, the giant enterprise should also be prepared to "add money". If the pie wants to be bigger, it must be properly distributed.

...

3 hours later

A Storm Eagle gunboat quickly took off from the airport of the Nairohua military base and flew towards the low-Earth orbit outside the atmosphere.

In the cabin of the gunboat, more than 20 Astartes warriors wearing MarkX power armor and fully armed were sitting in their seats, ready for battle.

In the seat near the cockpit, V was sitting still with his eyes closed, without any psychological pressure of the upcoming mission.

At this moment, David Martinez, who was traveling with V to complete the raid, couldn't help but look at V and said to his chapter leader:

"Captain, why is it that such a critical combat operation is carried out by us warriors? Shouldn't it be Jack and Commander Reed normally?"

David's curious question happened to be the information that other Astartes warriors wanted to know.

This was the first time they had come into contact with such a high-profile critical action mission. The raid on the enemy's interior was usually handed over to V and Jack personally.

Even the most ordinary auxiliary members are the most elite warriors in the Iron Hands, such as the last assault on Omega.

In today's list of starting combatants, there are only V and Jack, and the rest are basically "newbies", warriors with some achievements but not many.

For example, Corey, Steve and Bruce from 001 "Netherworld" Earth.

In their opinion, the teaming up of action personnel this time has a sense of déjà vu as V, the king, leads four platinum-level players to a diamond round.

No matter how you look at it, it feels like it doesn’t match well.

David's slightly inappropriate words rang out in the cabin, and the Astartes warriors in other gunships also heard David's question through voice sharing.

They did not interrupt David. Obviously, these soldiers who were "spotted" to perform the mission also felt a little flattered!

When he heard the question from David, V's first reaction was to scold David and tell these rookies to concentrate and stop focusing on such insignificant things.

But after thinking about it, V took a breath and decided to patiently give some appropriate explanations to these soldiers to dispel their confusion.

"Although this operational mission will be dangerous, the overall difficulty is not high. No matter which unit is dispatched to execute it, the success rate is not low."

V first gave everyone a simple assessment of the difficulty of this mission, which slightly calmed the impetuous minds of these soldiers.

Then, he continued to speak:

"As soldiers of the Iron Hands Chapter, you are as outstanding as officers like Jack and Reed. The giant companies will not favor anyone, and everyone will have a chance."

"It all depends on whether you can grasp it!"

V knew quite well in his heart what political results Li Ang wanted to achieve. In order to help his boss complete the internal rectification of the giant company, V did his best.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the young Astartes warriors suddenly felt refreshed. After drinking this mouthful of chicken soup for the soul, they felt refreshed.

These warriors are just young, but not stupid.

From the information revealed by V, they could understand that this opportunity was specially arranged for them by their boss Li Ang.

No matter what, they must seize this hard-won opportunity!

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers responded excitedly in unison.

In fact, to put it bluntly, everyone is a wage earner working for a giant company in the world. Even the soldiers in the battle group do not want to stand still and watch others rise step by step.

Since V became the only "Primaris" Astartes warrior in the Iron Hands, countless young warriors have also been eager to undergo the full process of transformation surgery.

Become that second Primaris warrior!

But the promotion path of the Astartes warriors and the progress of their transformation depend entirely on their achievements in combat missions.

Even David Martinez, a representative figure among young fighters, has only completed the 13th step in his current transformation surgery, which is still far from the 22nd step.

Generally speaking, the more times an Astartes warrior undergoes transformations, the more powerful he becomes, and the easier it is for him to obtain missions that are more difficult and easier to establish meritorious deeds.

In the long run, this will lead to a situation where the seniors will dominate the juniors, and the seniors will be the first to undergo transformation, making it easier for them to advance step by step.

When the gap between the two factions begins to widen, it will trigger internal conflicts. Xiao Deng feels that he has no chance to get ahead, and Lao Deng is prone to taking credit and being arrogant.

Young talents like David Martinez who are promoted by their superiors are, after all, in the minority. Most of the time, newcomers have far fewer opportunities than old people.

Therefore, in order to achieve balance, Li Ang made special arrangements this time, and there will be more such arrangements in future operational missions!

At this moment, David, who was so excited, couldn't help but look at V.

After discovering that V still looked calm and composed, he stopped worrying and adjusted his mentality. David concentrated on preparing for the upcoming assault.

boom--! !

At this time, slight shaking began to occur in the gunship's engine room, which meant that the gunship was breaking through the atmosphere and heading to a low-Earth orbit two hundred kilometers above the ground.

I don’t know how long it took before the pilot’s reminder sounded in the cabin:

[Everyone, we are about to arrive at the military docking port of the moon base, please be prepared! 】

After the words fell, V, who had closed his eyes for a long rest, finally opened his eyes and began to give instructions to the young warriors:

"From now on, I am your first commander. You must obey my instructions for this assault mission. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

The soldiers responded with excitement.

Thirty hours later, in the starry field near Mars, there was only silent darkness and faint starlight twinkling faintly.

It was not until the appearance of a fleet that the quiet situation was broken. The fleet array was seen quickly advancing towards the other side of Mars and passing by.

This fleet group is composed of two Infinity-class giant ships, three RCS-class armored cruisers, more than 20 Storm Eagle gunboats and several shuttles.

In addition to being equipped with the most advanced weapon systems and a large number of fighter jets, the Infinite-class giant ship sitting in the Chinese army also has an "anti-matter shield" on its outer layer to block missiles!

At this moment, in the Endless-class flagship, there is a large combat conference room.

Hundreds of generals, officers, and sergeants from the Astartes Chapter from all over the world were looking solemnly at the holographic screen in front of them.

They wear combat uniforms with different colors and coatings, each representing their respective departments.

At this time, Commander-in-Chief Morgan Blackhand, who was standing next to the holographic screen, spoke to everyone in a calm and calm voice, and said:

"Everyone, according to AI data analysis, we will be in contact with the Reaper civilization's ship in one hour."

"At that time, our fleet must confront the Reaper ships head-on and fight for a chance for our assault force."

"Remember!"

"We are just feigning an attack, and the commando soldiers are the key point of attack in this battle."

Morgan Blackhand repeatedly emphasized the key points of this battle, and then told everyone below that the Reaper mothership had an energy shield.

"If our fleet's firepower cannot directly destroy the enemy's shields, then we will adopt a backup plan and send a small number of AI assault ships carrying anti-material shields to break through their defenses!"

Through observation and speculation, engineers from the Scientific Research Department believe that the energy shield of the Reaper civilization should be composed of some kind of energy material.

If anti-matter shields are used for collision, it should be able to annihilate and render the enemy shield ineffective.

But the premise is that their AI assault ship is not destroyed by the enemy.

Of course, the backup plan will only be used under forced circumstances.

After all, it is unlikely that the Reaper civilization would let the giant assault ships collide with their motherships so arrogantly.

At this time, Morgan Blackhand paused, looked around at everyone, and gave his final pre-battle speech in a low voice:

"Everyone, this battle is no small matter. I hope you will remain vigilant, rigorous, and cheer up."

"The human compatriots on Earth 003 are here to watch our performance and the performance of the fleets of giant companies in the world. This is our moment of glory."

"Since the establishment of the world's giant companies, they have never suffered losses at the hands of any heretical civilization, and this time is no exception!"

"I want you to win this war!"

After the words fell, Morgan Blackhand glanced at the officers below with sharp eyes. After getting the exact response from everyone, he nodded.

"Very good, it seems you are ready."

Immediately, Morgan's Black Hand issued the final mobilization order: "Start taking action now. After the war begins, I will keep an eye on each of you!"

"yes!"

…

At the same time, in the combat conference room on another Infinity-class starship.

As commanders, Raleigh and Asako Mori also gave a pre-war mobilization speech just like Morgan Blackhand.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

The officers below responded in unison.

Later, Luo Li and Asako Mori terminated the video communication, and the entire command room and various departments became busy again.

When all the officers left the conference room, leaving only Raleigh Beckett and Asako Mori, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As commanders airborne from other heavens and earth, it is not an easy task for Raleigh and Asako Mori to serve as captains of the Endless-class starship here.

In addition to having to manage tens of thousands of people on the ship, they also had to control the many soldiers below. Fortunately, they were commanders appointed by Li Ang, and no one dared to be dissatisfied with them.

The commanders of this couple are generals of the Pan-Pacific Defense Force from the Earth in 002 "Pacific Rim". They are also the male and female protagonists in the original movie.

In view of their rich experience in fighting alien civilizations on Earth 002, they were recruited by global giants to serve as one of the commanders this time.

This time, they and Morgan Blackhand each led an Infinity-class ship, and cooperated with V's gunboat assault team to allow Astartes warriors to infiltrate the Reaper's mothership.

But then again, under normal circumstances, the Infinity-class starship is actually controlled by Morgan Blackhand alone, or it is adjusted by the AI.

But this time, Li Ang chose to let them come over to "help" Morgan Black Hand. Essentially, he intended to gain some merit for Luo Li and Asako Mori, so that they could be promoted later!

After seeing that there was no one around, Asako Mori pulled Raleigh to the center console, got close to him, and said in a low voice:

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. We must be more attentive to this mission than anyone else!"

This couple of generals are quite smart. They are well aware of Li Ang's arrangements and their boss's intentions.

And Raleigh also smiled. He understood that it was not easy to gain the trust of his boss and have a chance to improve, so he would naturally go all out for this.

"I heard from the staff at the CIA that there are more than a billion alien hybrids in the Reaper mothership opposite. We only have more than 200,000 people."

Before Raleigh could finish speaking, Asako Mori had already held his hand and looked at him firmly: "But victory must belong to us!"

Not long ago, Luo Li, Asako Mori, and their children moved to Ideal City, where they received a better living environment and educational resources.

Whether it is for the children who are going to school in the main universe or for the human beings on this earth, they must win this interstellar battle.

"Yes, we must win, for you and the children, and for the trust of the boss."

Luo Li's mentality was very calm, but he was worried that if something unexpected happened, Asako Mori and himself would risk their lives here.

"If something happens to me this time, you must leave here first."

"Don't say such unlucky words! We all have to go back alive. Don't even think about leaving me behind."

Asako Mori frowned and scolded Raleigh for being unreasonable.

"Hahaha, I will try my best to survive!"

...

Here, under V's urging, the Astartes warriors who were about to land on the assault gunship checked their power armors and the weapons and ammunition they were equipped with for the last time.

After more than ten minutes, accompanied by the flashing lights in the cabin, the driver's broadcast began to sound:

[This is the assault gunship team 1. All personnel, please prepare for battle. This ship has switched to stealth mode. ]

[After the main ship and the enemy mothership have a firefight, we will go full throttle and head straight for the Reaper's mothership! ]

[...]

At this moment, in that dark star field.

The semi-elliptical giant warship with a length of nearly 800 kilometers and a width of about 600 kilometers is gradually slowing down towards the earth.

The bottom area of ​​the giant ship is embedded with a disc-shaped city destroyer ship. When the mothership reaches the earth's low-Earth orbit.

These "city destroyers" will enter the atmosphere, and then descend one by one over each human city to destroy humans!

However, before the mothership of the Reaper civilization approached the earth according to the established plan, a human fleet appeared in front of their route.

The next second, dozens of strike rays emitting orange light had swept across the deep space of the universe. They were the laser cannons from the Infinity-class battleships and cruisers.

Since the Reaper civilization did not send out a reconnaissance team in advance to find out the situation on the earth, they were completely confused when facing the human fleet in front of them.

From their perspective, this fleet seemed to appear out of thin air, so the Reapers at this moment could not make corresponding adjustments.

Boom--! !

When the laser cannons fired by the fleet all fell on the Reaper mothership, the thick energy shield took effect immediately.

The powerful laser energy was like a stone falling into the lake, only rippling on the lake surface.

The Reaper mothership was limited to the appearance, igniting a group of insignificant fireworks. In fact, these laser cannons did not cause any substantial damage to the hull.

Then, another round of blue plasma cannons and white-orange laser cannons fired at the same target.

But in the same way, the Reaper's mothership still only had ripples, and the energy damage seemed to be completely absorbed by this layer of shield!

After these two rounds of volleys, the Reaper's shield did not disappear at all, and there was not even a trace of breaking.

Seeing this scene, many giant enterprise soldiers in the Infinity-class giant ship array felt a little stunned and shocked.

Although they knew before that the Reaper's shield could offset the energy damage of the laser cannon.

But what they didn't expect was that the opponent's shield was so strong that two rounds of full firepower fired, but they didn't break the other party's defense!

As the commander-in-chief of the giant enterprise fleet, Morgan Blackhand was calm at this moment. He calmly observed the situation and asked the soldiers below to continue preparing for the third round of volleys.

At this moment, facing the sudden attack, the mothership of the Reapers began to change the course urgently and further slowed down the original speed.

After receiving the order from the "Queen", these Reapers decided to send a flying fleet to deal with the threats that intercepted them.

In fact, to be specific, the Reaper civilization's understanding of Earth 003 is actually limited to the crashed reconnaissance plane and the news sent back by the "mimicry" using superluminal communication technology.

But strangely, just two and a half years ago, the mimics that were executing the "harvest" program on Earth actually had an unexpected signal interruption.

There was no display of mission success, nor was there a prompt for mission failure. The Reaper civilization behind the scenes could not receive any news at all.

Therefore, the "Queen" of the Reapers decided to lead the team to check it out in person. It also wanted to see what "bug" appeared in its mimicry army.

Or did humans win the battle at the cost of a tragic victory.

But no matter which result, it would not delay the Queen's purpose of coming to pick up heads and harvest the Earth!
