677: Chapter 677: The First Space Vanguard

Three years later.

March 31, 2061.

8:00 AM China time.

"Commander, the fleet has reached Blue Star orbit."

"Activate the Space Station shield."

"Understood, the shield has been activated."

...

Wulan Gumu Military Base.

The existence of the Sirius Remnants had just been made public.

"Comrades, do you now understand why you were confined here?"

"We are facing a cunning, unknown, alien silicon-based civilization that has monitored humanity for a billion years."

"The thousands of years of plagues, viruses, zombies, and natural ecological destruction we have suffered were all their doing behind the scenes."

"Backdoor code has been implanted in our genes."

"Now, we will serve as the vanguard to fight for our common future. Are you afraid?"

Zhang Yuankui shouted loudly.

"No!"

"This time we leave Blue Star, and perhaps we will not return for a very long time. Are you afraid?"

"No!"

"Good, listen to my command. The Blue Star Future Federation's First Space Expeditionary Force is hereby established. You will be the first human warriors to fight in space, and you will forever be etched in history!"

"All units!"

"Attention!"

"All listen to my command!"

"Board the ship!"

The Soldiers formed ranks and walked towards their respective spacecraft.

This newly trained batch of 3,000 Future Warriors were all 9th Order late-stage Cultivators.

To unify Cultivators and Mutants, Oriental Chen gave them a new name, collectively calling them Future Warriors.

These Future Warriors all underwent repair in gene repair pods.

Logically, a 14-year observation period was required after repair, but there wasn't that much time to wait now.

To prevent the virus gene from being re-implanted, Oriental Chen installed real-time detection devices on their wrists.

Once a Trojan gene was detected in the body, an alarm would immediately sound.

Even if someone was re-infected, the risk could be kept within a controllable range.

What they were boarding now was not a true battleship, but the boarding pod for the battleship.

The actual battleship remained in Blue Star orbit and did not land on Blue Star.

After the boarding pod ascended, it would dock with the battleship.

"Boarding pod No. 1 has completed boarding, hatch closed."

"Boarding pod No. 2 has completed boarding, hatch closed."

...

"Commander, the Blue Star Future Federation's First Space Expeditionary Force has completed boarding. Please instruct."

"Please prepare, we are about to ascend."

"Yes!" Zhang Yuankui shouted.

"Brother Zhang," Oriental Chen's voice lowered.

"Commander, please speak!" Zhang Yuankui was startled and said.

"Victory!" Oriental Chen wanted to say something, but didn't.

"Victory!" Zhang Yuankui also lowered his voice and said solemnly.

This was an unknown journey, an uncertain battle.

Their first stop was to reach the Moon and establish a favorable position on its near side.

The form in which the Sirius Remnants existed and their combat power were completely unknown.

However, Oriental Chen had now maximized their combat power; whether it would work, only battle would tell.

"Attention all personnel, the boarding pod has completed self-check and will launch in 1 minute. Please prepare."

A prompt sounded from inside the boarding pod.

All warriors and personnel assigned to the battleship took their seats, fastened their seatbelts, and waited quietly.

At this time, the skylight at the top of the base had opened, and the accumulating snow on the edges continuously fell.

"Countdown 30 seconds."

"Countdown 10 seconds."

"Boarding pod activated."

The boarding pod was equipped with an anti-gravity device, so it didn't require ignition and produced no noise.

Everyone only felt a slight sense of G-force, which wasn't very noticeable.

Anti-gravity battleships were frequently used, so there was no discomfort.

The boarding pod continuously accelerated, vertically increasing its altitude.

It quickly disappeared into the sky.

At this moment, on a mountaintop outside the base, an old man stood quietly, watching this scene.

He looked up at the sky, silent.

It was as if the biting cold wind could not move him in the slightest; only his Daoist robe fluttered in the wind.

When the boarding pod was out of sight, he suddenly vanished from his spot.

"Commander, the boarding pod has reached the designated orbit and requests docking. Do you authorize?"

"Authorize."

"Understood, the battleship has been authorized."

The boarding pod was tiny compared to the massive battleship.

After docking, the top hatch opened, and the warriors and personnel orderly entered the battleship.

They had practiced controlling the battleship for over a year inside the base, so they didn't feel unfamiliar at this time.

The warriors lined up in the hall and then began to divide tasks.

Currently, 10 small planetary-class space carriers were moored in Blue Star orbit, with each space carrier equipped with 10 small planetary-class frigates.
