Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 979: Launch Plan A


Life on this damn spacecraft is simply unbearable, and fuck knows what situation has cropped up. At the moment, Squad Leader Wang is on high alert, a cigarette dangling from his lips, constantly monitoring the star chart for orders to activate the auxiliary engine device.

Just then, a set of hurried footsteps approached rapidly from afar, bursting through the cabin door. The lieutenant officer in charge of logistics management pushed past Squad Leader Wang without a word, saying, "Little Wang, you go look after those new recruits. They're still not proficient with the operations."

"Yes, sir."

Upon receiving the lieutenant's orders, Little Wang did not dare to delay. He wanted to ask about the situation, but as an experienced soldier, he knew better than to ask unnecessary questions. So he turned and jogged away, disappearing at the end of the corridor...

"Attention all officers and soldiers aboard, prepare for action. Left-wing engine power to full, turn to bearing 17, prepare for full acceleration of 100. I repeat, countdown to orders, ten, nine, eight..." The pleasant electronic voice of the navigator suddenly echoed throughout the not-so-large warship's interior.

According to the latest public message released by the allied forces, the 'Bizarre' has approached the Rekart super shuttle from satellite number 8, without receiving any feedback. The location of the Rekart super shuttle happens to be diagonally opposite to the Federation, indicating that the battleships currently on standby are still safe, but they must remain vigilant and pay attention to intelligence released by the allied forces at all times.

A quarter of an hour passed by in a flash, and the officers and soldiers received shared intelligence again. This intelligence was released simultaneously by the Saudi and Valan factions, which are closest to Bergheide, declaring the Bergheide giant shuttle has lost all feedback.

As for Rekart, the interrupted message has improved once again, which is utterly baffling. Besides the improved message, no further information from the staff has been received. It's possible that something unexpected has occurred to the officials above.

The Federal soldiers are freaking out. They're not afraid of sacrifice or fighting desperately; their only real fear is of the unknown. You have no idea what you'll be facing next—will the 'Bizarre' show up beside you?

However, without instructions from their superiors, they cannot act on their own. Whether to stay or leave must be decided by the Military Department. The ship's captain made a swift decision and issued two messages: the first was to report to the superiors and await instructions from the Capital, and the second was to attempt to contact the nearest Blazing Regiment to request assistance in combat.

Unfortunately, as an elite unit, the Blazing Regiment is a high-priority independent combat organization within the military district. Usually, units that wish to contact must go through the Sky Network. The rank of this intelligence battalion's destroyer captain is only equivalent to that of a company commander in one of the thousands of destroyers of the Blazing Regiment. How difficult could it be to request approval from higher-ups?

Unexpectedly, a response from the Military Department came quickly. The Capital's orders were brief: abandon the surveillance mission of satellite number 8 and retreat to the Mardis star sector at full speed to await the Blazing Regiment's support, which could take several days.

At the same time, considering the unknown factors of the 'Bizarre', the Federation and various nations have already reached a consensus, dispatching various units including radiation engineers, chemical troops, and special operations forces. No one anticipated that the 'Bizarre' would actually deviate from satellite number 8 and reach beyond the domain. The uncontrollability of the problem is far trickier than expected.

In fact, the Federal Army has received more comprehensive data from various countries than that destroyer on a reconnaissance mission. After an urgent three-hour meeting by various nations, the Federation has decided to start Plan A, building stellar-level power facilities on Earth and two Earth-like planets near Mardis.

As the pandemic rages on, the implementation efficiency of Plan A can no longer be guaranteed. The construction project, fully operational takes at least a month or, worst case, there may not be enough time at all. Adjustments must be made based on the development of the situation with the 'Bizarre' on satellite number 8.

The Saudi binary stars are just a stone's throw from satellite number 8 and are the most likely to be eroded by the 'Bizarre'. It is the most dangerous place. However, Saudi has also made preparations on both fronts.

First, implement the migration of Plan A.

Second, attempt various destruction strikes against the 'Bizarre'. This has become a dilemma for all of humanity. It's possible that we just haven't found the right solution. If we can defeat it, nothing could be better. Otherwise, if that fails, we can only resort to relocating to Earth-like planets.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the binary star system is remote and relatively massive; relocating such planets would consume unimaginable manpower and resources. For this reason, the Saudi side immediately contacted the most authoritative physicist in the world, who is currently at the Freedom Port of Maraca, known as Blade Warrior.

Blade Warrior was not surprised to receive the message. Recently, she has been inundated with calls for help from various nations. Already up to a hundred, based on the total mass of the binary stars at 1.1707*10^25 kilograms, Blade Warrior concluded that to move such Earth-like planets would require resources approximately thirty times that of Earth, and recommended abandoning treatment.

However, she also proposed a second option with a shorter construction cycle and more flexibility, similar to the design blueprints of Sky Garden. The advantage of building this type of mimetic environment is its freedom of movement and the ability to recycle resources. With the full force of Saudi's resources, constructing a hundred and eighty such structures within a month shouldn't be a problem. Assuming an average space city can accommodate 200,000 people, in fact, squeezing in a million people could also suffice, but the air circulation system needs improvement.

Therefore, a hundred such space construction projects could accommodate a hundred million people. Coupled with the natural carrying capacity of other Earth-like planets, that will have to do. After all, humanity must make choices, sacrificing some of their own kind in exchange for the hope of life for others. This decision may be difficult, but it is a reality that all nations must face.

As for the Federation side, Blade Warrior hopes the Federation will provide Eggy as technical assistance—it's clear that without Feng Yi, that little dinosaur is not on her side, making this matter rather headache-inducing for Blade Warrior.
