Inside the spaceship manufacturing factory at the edge of the Space City, six spaceships were lined up in a row. The towering gantry was waving a large number of mechanical arms. They were like extremely powerful and delicate giants that were rapidly assembling spaceships.
At the first dock, blue flames were spitting out continuously. A gigantic spaceship slowly left the space dock and flew deep into space, beginning its first test flight.
…
Hundreds of millions of kilometers away, a remote-controlled cargo spaceship opened its hatch. Engineering robots that were tens of meters tall pushed the weapon modules out of the spaceship and flew into space.
A few days later, a weapon launching platform with a diameter of more than two hundred meters appeared in space.
There was a weapon platform like this almost every few hundred thousand kilometers. At a glance, they were densely packed and intertwined like a giant three-dimensional network. From time to time, a dazzling ray of light would shoot into space and disappear into the endless distance.
…
In the blink of an eye, it had been almost three years.
The mining area of the fourth planet had expanded by a hundred times compared to three years ago. The area within a radius of ten million kilometers had already been occupied by hundreds of millions of mining machines. Looking down from space, the entire planet seemed to have a shallow depression out of thin air. The massive loss of mass had caused the originally deathly still planet to begin to tremble and tremble continuously.
As the war approached, the atmosphere in the Space City became more and more anxious and depressing.
…
War Command Center.
"Have you found out their exact location?"
Bi Jianping walked into the building of the War Command Center and said in a hoarse voice.
In the past two years, the huge pressure had caused his body to deteriorate. The life-prolonging technology did not seem to work on him. In just three years, he seemed to have aged more than ten years. He looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies.
"Their speed has not stopped. They have been flying at superluminal speed. Our artificial intelligence system is unable to lock onto their exact location." A middle-aged man with the military rank of Major General said solemnly.
As the military had just been established, there was no need to talk about military achievements or qualifications. The ranks of these soldiers were generally not high. Major General was already the highest rank of the human race.
A group of people walked into the command center. Countless staff were busy. As the space defense system was hurriedly online, they were still in the midst of debugging.
Bi Jianping looked at the big screen in the center. A light source that looked like a cursor was flashing and approaching Barnard's Star.
"How far away are they from us now?"
"About 0.3 light years!" The Major General said after a moment of silence.
Bi Jianping's heart felt heavy as he listened, as if a huge rock was pressing down on him. If the other party maintained this speed, there was only a month left until the war.
"We don't have much time left!" Bi Jianping sighed.
The atmosphere was indescribably oppressive.
Superluminal flight was an unexplainable speed. It was faster than light, which meant that it was already in front of you before you could see it. Now, the only way to determine its approximate location was to roughly locate the source of the wave through the value of multiple spatial waves.
However, due to the interference of the stellar system and other space waves in the universe, this kind of calculation had serious errors. A slight deviation in angle could cause the distance to be tens of thousands of kilometers, or even tens of millions of kilometers. If one wanted to use space waves to attack, the probability of hitting the target was hundreds of millions of times lower than winning the lottery.
However, this was the only detection method that the humans had. He could only pray that the Glassian invaders would cancel their space-time bubble and fight the humans head-on. However, the chances of that happening were slim.
Although the humans' curvature engine technology was still in the experimental stage, the theory and data were close to being perfected. The prototype aircraft had also flown a few short distances. With the gravitational pull of the stellar system, unless it was close to the star, it would be difficult to interfere with it.
It was very likely that they would fly all the way to the Space City. By then, the entire space defense system would be useless.
"It's time to start the evacuation plan!" Bi Jianping thought to himself.
…
"Madam, we can leave now." In the manor, beside a luxurious flying shuttle, a guard said respectfully.
"Then let's go!" Huang Jiahui looked at the manor longingly. She did not know if she would be able to come back after leaving.
A few of them sat on the flying shuttle. Soon, the flying shuttle rose into the sky and flew far away.
Wang Shishi leaned on the window and looked at the scenery outside the window. Countless flying shuttles were like swimming fish, shuttling in the sky. The humans had already started to evacuate. Most of the civilians would leave the Space City and enter the miniaturized universe.
In these three years, a new Space City had already been rebuilt there.
In fact, as early as one and a half years ago, the humans had already started to construct the miniaturized universe and transfer the materials. Now, the miniaturized universe had the ability to be self-sufficient. The huge amount of materials that were stored was enough to satisfy the development and survival of the humans for a hundred years.
"Wait, I want to go down." Wang Shishi shouted.
The guard was a little embarrassed, "But the next flight only has half an hour left."
"Go down." Huang Jiahui looked at the eye-catching manor from afar and sighed faintly. It was Luo Yuan's mansion, a spacious and deserted place.
Soon, the flying shuttle descended and stopped in front of Luo Yuan's mansion. The guard opened the door.
"I'm going to see Brother Luo. Are you guys coming?" Wang Shishi walked out of the flying shuttle and asked.
"Go ahead. Come back soon." Huang Jiahui looked calm and shook her head.
"I'm not going either. He's not the same as before." Zhao Yali's eyes were a little red and she wiped them.
Wang Xiaguang turned her head away and did not say anything.
"I … I'm not going either," Chen Jiayi said. The current Luo Yuan made her feel terrified. She no longer felt close to him like a brother or a father. She did not want to go at all.
Wang Shishi looked at each and every one of them. She had no intention of going in to see him. She felt sad and depressed.
"I'll leave then." She turned around and tears flowed down her cheeks.
She ran all the way into the manor, and only when she got close to the main hall did she slow down. She had not been here for a whole year, but this place did not seem to have changed at all. It was still cold and lifeless. She rubbed her eyes to hide it before walking in.
Unfortunately, Luo Yuan saw through her.
"Have you been crying?"
"No, there's sand in my eyes."
"The dust in the air of the Space City is smaller than 100 nanometers. It won't cause any discomfort to the eyes of ordinary people!" Luo Yuan said, "That's why you're lying!"
Wang Shishi looked at Luo Yuan in a daze. How did things turn out this way? Could it be that he forgot his feelings so easily?
"I'm sorry!" Luo Yuan's human memory allowed him to react quickly. His tone did not change at all and he apologized without any sincerity, "I shouldn't have said that. Why are you looking for me?"
Wang Shishi came back to her senses and felt sad. Just like what Sister Zhao had said, this was not the Luo Yuan she knew. She held back her tears and said, "Brother Luo, we have to go to the miniaturized universe."
"I can see it. You have 14 minutes and 35 seconds left before the next flight. You shouldn't have come to see me. Now you have to wait for the next flight," Luo Yuan said expressionlessly, suppressing the impatience in his heart.
"But Brother Luo, do you still remember me?" Wang Shishi looked at him disappointedly and said.
"I remember you. Every second since I saw you, you're clearly in my mind." Luo Yuan quickly replied. He was still expressionless and his tone was calm.
"But why did you become so cold? Don't you have any feelings for me? If I were to die here, would you still be indifferent? " Wang Shishi finally could not help but shed tears. She had had enough of this all these years. She had tried her best to make up for it but Luo Yuan had treated her coldly. She finally cried when she thought of the grievances she had suffered.
Looking at the clear tears dripping on the ground, Luo Yuan seemed to be lost in his thoughts and did not reply in time.
Feelings! Luo Yuan thought about this word silently. He suddenly realized that this word seemed so unfamiliar to him as if it was his first time hearing it.
