678: Chapter 678: Battleship Arrives on the Moon

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

Each aircraft carrier is staffed by 200 Future Warriors, and each Future Warrior is equipped with a small space vessel. Each small planetary-class frigate is staffed by 10 people, and each person is also equipped with a small space vessel.

Therefore, the total number of Future Warriors in each aircraft carrier formation is currently 300.

In addition, there are 168 personnel responsible for operating the warships and the fleet command team.

These 168 people are not part of the 3000 Future Warriors' combat sequence, but their strength is all at the 9th Order late-stage level.

After all tasks were arranged, the Future Warriors returned to their resting areas to prepare.

The staff, on the other hand, took their positions, awaiting orders at any time.

“Commander, the First Space Fleet is ready and can depart at any time,” Zhang Yuankui reported via the large screen inside the ship.

All other staff also stood up, facing the screen.

“I now order, depart immediately, target, the Moon.”

“Yes!”

“All mothership captains, listen up. Medium-speed mode, automatic cruise, 200 kiloknots per hour. Proceed towards the Moon as individual formations.” Zhang Yuankui issued the departure order through the internal communication line.

Upon receiving the command, the space mothership formations adjusted their postures and began to accelerate towards the Moon.

The current model of space warships has 4 flight gears, with speeds from low to high as follows:

Low-speed mode: maximum speed 20 kiloknots, approximately 10 kilometers per second.

Medium-speed mode: maximum speed 200 kiloknots, approximately 100 kilometers per second.

High-speed mode: maximum speed 1 megaknot, approximately 500 kilometers per second.

Long-range mode: maximum speed 8 megaknots, approximately 4000 kilometers per second.

Different modes are used for different flight scenarios.

Short-distance flights use the first three modes, while long-distance flights use the long-range mode.

The distance between Blue Star and the Moon is approximately 40,000 kilometers. If the long-range mode were used, it could arrive in as little as 10 seconds.

However, using the long-range mode for this distance is inconvenient, as the spacecraft's acceleration and deceleration also take time.

Medium-speed mode is most suitable; it doesn't require gravity acceleration, just direct linear flight.

At a speed of 200 kiloknots, the arrival time at the Moon would be 1 hour.

...

Old Qin and Maya High Priest also closely followed the mobilization and departure of the first batch of Space Future Warriors.

“Xiao Chen, what form do you think the Sirius Remnants on the far side of the Moon will take?” Old Qin asked, looking at the image of the warships departing.

“To be honest, I'm not sure either. However, judging from the silicon-based microorganisms we've learned about on the ground, they will certainly be very difficult to deal with,” Oriental Chen said.

“The unknown is the most terrifying! This battle concerns the future destiny of humanity, and I feel very nervous right now,” Old Qin sighed.

“Indeed, I am also very nervous. These Future Warriors represent our highest combat power; if we cannot succeed in one strike, the path ahead will be very difficult,” Oriental Chen also sighed.

“Mr. Dongfang, I recently made another prophecy and found that the future destiny of humanity is still destruction. I'm afraid this operation will not go too smoothly,” the High Priest said.

If these three people were chatting like this in public, they would all be dragged out and shot.

As the highest Commander and decision-makers, all three of them were sighing, severely disrupting morale.

“Mr. High Priest, I have already said before that the Sirius Remnants may not all be hidden on the Moon. Moreover, it is highly probable that they cannot exist only on the Moon. After all, putting all your eggs in one basket is a very unwise choice.”

“Therefore, the result of the prophecy does not necessarily mean that this operation will fail; there may be other variables,” Oriental Chen said.

The High Priest nodded and said:

“Mr. Dongfang, I must sincerely apologize to you about this matter. I did not believe the information you provided before, and we missed a golden period of development. I am truly sorry.”

The High Priest bowed.

“Mr. High Priest, there's really no need. Choices and results are twin brothers; you know this best. You are the decision-maker and the bearer of the results, and it actually has little to do with me.”

Although Oriental Chen said it didn't matter, he secretly built an underground base and sold it to them, earning a large amount of zhen crystal.

The High Priest nodded and did not reply.

One hour later.

The warships arrived at the Moon.

Oriental Chen issued the combat order.

The 200 Future Warriors on each mothership had already entered their mechs, ready to detach from the mothership and land on the lunar surface at any moment.

This should be the largest human lunar landing operation in history.

“Xiao Chen, do you think the neurotropic virus might have been brought back from the Moon when humans landed there?” Old Qin asked.

“I think the possibility is small. Unless the Sirius Remnants can create a carbon-based biological virus and it possesses certain transmission conditions,” Oriental Chen replied.
