569: Chapter 569 Sirius Battleship

"Monga said that insects all originated from Mars, so how come we see them here too?" Oriental Chen asked.

"You'll know later," Dragon Three said with a slight smile.

"Before Mercury was destroyed, Venus merely served as a resource planet. Most of the food humanity needed came from here."

The scene flickered, and they arrived above a field.

"This is cultivated land."

Oriental Chen looked down, seeing many large pieces of equipment working in the fields.

The crops were still green; they were likely watering them or spraying some kind of pesticide.

The scene flickered again.

"This is a breeding farm."

As far as the eye could see, the vast pastures were filled with running animals.

They looked a bit like sheep.

As for whether they would be attacked by giant dragonflies like the ones he had just seen, Oriental Chen didn't even consider the possibility of them being free-range.

Those capable of colonizing Venus and establishing such a large-scale ranch there would naturally have ways to deal with them.

What he didn't understand was why, with Longguo's advanced technology, they didn't establish fully automated production facilities like his, which would surely be less risky and more efficient.

However, he didn't ask, deciding to observe first.

"Venus's orbit is closer to the Sun, with abundant sunlight, making it a natural pasture," Dragon Three continued.

"Do Sa America and Bagu Country also have ranches here?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Certainly. Our three countries have divided up all of Venus's resources," Dragon Three nodded in affirmation.

"So, there won't be any mutual encroachment here?"

"Small-scale conflicts happen from time to time, but those are minor issues. Everyone's strength is similar, and any country will maintain rational restraint. Otherwise, if this place is destroyed, everyone's interests will be lost," Dragon Three explained.

"Indeed," Oriental Chen nodded.

"Next, let's go to Mars." Dragon Three waved his hand, the scene flickered, and the two arrived on Mars.

The environment here was a bit worse than on Venus.

Animals and plants were mostly small.

"This is completely different from the Mars you've seen, isn't it?" Dragon Three smiled.

"At this time, Mars was also considered a habitable planet. Various countries established many living areas here, mainly to provide services for the Soldiers stationed there."

"What you're seeing now is a Longguo living area. The city isn't very large, accommodating a maximum of 300,000 people."

Oriental Chen looked at the city below, deeply moved.

Although it was just a small city, it looked quite developed.

Skyscrapers were everywhere, and various flying vehicles shuttled back and forth.

"This is the Seventh Fleet's station."

"On the surface, it looks barren, but underground, there are 36 planetary attack ships and 468 escort ships moored."

Oriental Chen nodded.

"Alright, that's generally how things were back then. Now, let's get to the main topic!" Dragon Three said.

His purpose in showing Oriental Chen around was to give him a general understanding of the historical context.

Oriental Chen understood that the next focus of the introduction would likely be the Sirius Galaxy invasion war.

"Everything we just saw was the peak of human development. On this very day, at this very moment, in the 7483rd year of the Long calendar, humanity's fate underwent a major turning point."

The scene flickered again, and the two found themselves in space.

Before them was a massive fleet.

This was a fleet of peculiar design; all the warships, regardless of size, were long, slender four-sided pyramids. They looked like sharp arrowheads, rapidly flying in from a distance.

"This is the Sirius Fleet; at this moment, they have just passed Jupiter's orbit."

As Dragon Three spoke, these warships had already flashed past their eyes.

"In another 6 hours, they will reach Mercury." Dragon Three's tone was somewhat somber at this point.

At that time, Mercury was much larger than it is now, and its orbital position was between Mars and Jupiter.

"You didn't discover them then?" Oriental Chen asked.

"No. There were three reasons for this:"

"First, monitoring the entire Solar System was very resource-intensive, and at that time, no country had the capability to do so."

"Second, because Mercury was humanity's home planet, any form of warfare was prohibited there. So, for safety, after the signing of the Peace Treaty, Mercury's orbit had become a military exclusion zone. No country was allowed to deploy warships there without prior registration."

"However, various countries had long-term stationed fleets in Jupiter's orbit for safety."

"It's just that when the Sirius new warships invaded, the focus of various countries was not there. This is the third reason:",

"The situation on Venus was tense, and war could break out at any moment."

"The cause was a volcanic eruption and earthquake in the Sahara continent, which belonged to Sa America, leading to severe losses for their ranches. So, they submitted an application to the United Nations, requesting a redivision of Venus's resources."
