Chapter 877 Galaxy Is Missing (Happy New Year!)
"Are we still too late?"
After three days of racing against time, the Promise Corps has arrived at the location where the G Fleet can send out a distress signal. When they arrived, there was no attack from Vajra, no fierce battle, only dense debris filling this space.
As the ultimate target of Yang Hui's rescue, the G Fleet is still missing. Except for some damaged debris, no trace was found.
"FOLD wave detection did not find anything, and it is impossible to track." Baki Lulu reported to Yang Hui.
"Clean up the battlefield, search for survivors, and hope...someone escaped."
Not all the people in the G Fleet are crazy and ambitious like Grace. Most of them are ordinary people. Even if they use Implant technology, it is the same. Although this technology can upload consciousness to the network, it only makes it easier for people to connect to the network when they are still alive, just like installing a mobile phone in their brains.
So, even if the scene seen by the naked eye does not look like there are survivors, the search should still be done. If you can save one person, you can save one person.
Moreover, the wreckage at the scene is not useless. For example, the relatively well-preserved wreckage of the warship can be towed back and repaired to become a new warship. Don't forget that the original unified army of the 25th Fleet was originally damaged, and warships are still in short supply.
Even if it is too damaged to be repaired, aren't these mineral resources in front of us? The 25th Fleet has no shortage of living resources, but mineral resources are very scarce, not to mention that the Promise Corps is now in the equipment update period.
The result of cleaning the battlefield is still gratifying. The damage of many warship wreckages is not so serious. They can be used after repair. There are also a lot of materials collected, especially when Galaxy disappeared, leaving all the warehouse islands used by the G Fleet for storing materials, which is enough for the 25th Fleet to be rich once.
And... survivors. After searching, many survivors were found. Although it is unknown why Vajra attacked the G Fleet on a large scale, it seems that Vajra did not kill them all, at least it did not specifically attack the shelter, so the people hiding in the shelter survived.
Of course, good news also comes with bad news.
"This number of people... is too much." Howard Glass was quite troubled by the report in his hand. It was a happy thing to be able to save these survivors, but the number was too much, so much that it exceeded the range that 25 fleets could accept.
"We found two relatively well-preserved industrial islands and three agricultural islands, which can accept some people." Yang Hui said to Howard Glass.
"But it's still far from enough. This number of people... unless we get half of the main island, it will definitely not be able to accommodate them." Howard Glass still covered his face with a headache.
"Can you contact the surrounding fleets? I remember that Fleet 11 is not far from us, right?" Yang Hui asked.
"I have contacted the 11th Fleet, and they are willing to accept as many refugees as possible, but it is still not enough. The 11th Fleet is in a similar situation to us, and the shelter capacity is limited. I have also sent shelter requests to other fleets, but there has been no response. I am afraid..."
"If it doesn't work... arrange for the fleet to escort them back to Earth." Yang Hui was also helpless about this. For the 25th Fleet, the increase in population is naturally a good thing. Although factories and other things are fully automated in this era, agriculture is not completely fully automated, and business also needs more population to stimulate.
And the most important thing is the source of soldiers. The guard force of the 25th Fleet has been constantly consumed after two battles, and naturally fresh blood is needed to fill the vacancies.
If possible, Yang Hui would of course like to keep all of them. After all, after the Queen of Vajra reached a reconciliation with Li Lanhua and Shirley, the 25th Fleet settled on the planet of Vajra, and the new planet and new home also need more people to develop.
But... if it can't be accommodated, it can't be accommodated, and Yang Hui doesn't have the ability to conjure up an island out of thin air.
"It's the only way." Howard Glass nodded in agreement. This was the only feasible solution at present.
As for these refugees sent back to Earth...whether the Earth is willing to accept them and how they will be treated, that is not a problem Howard Glass needs to consider. He is not a saint. He has done his best to rescue them from the environment of waiting to die and even send a fleet to send them back to Earth.
"So... is Galaxy really missing?" Howard Glass asked Yang Hui with a serious expression.
"Yes, there is no trace at all. The FOLD wave detection did not find any trace. If there were no wreckage of Galaxy at the scene, I really doubt that Galaxy was not there at the beginning." Yang Hui nodded and replied.
"You said... is it possible that they broke through successfully before you arrived? Erasing the FOLD wave traces is to prevent Vajra from continuing to track them?" Howard Glass doubted.
"I don't know about that, but the possibility is very small."
"Why?"
"If Galaxy has this technology, why don't they take the entire fleet with them? Especially the main island, which is the foundation of the G fleet, and there has been no news until now."
Galaxy is just a Macross battleship with no production capacity. The materials consumed by a single Macross battleship are very terrifying, so Macross battleships usually act together after connecting with the main island of the fleet.
So, if Galaxy broke through alone, how to solve the problem of material consumption?
Moreover, if Galaxy really succeeded in breaking through, the first thing it should do is to find a way to meet up with the nearest 25 fleets, or even the slightly farther 11 fleets, but it didn't.
"So what you mean is that Galaxy was taken away by Vajra? But... why?" Howard Glass was puzzled. Why did Vajra take Galaxy alone? According to the intelligence and combat records brought back by Yang Hui, Vajra has battleships such as the Knight class. Although smaller than the Macross class battleship, it is also very powerful. It is not necessary at all, right?
Moreover, the technological system of Vajra is completely different from that of humans. They don't seem to be able to study technology, so there is no situation of technological cracking to strengthen themselves.
"I don't know, but it is definitely not a good thing."
Yang Hui certainly knew why Galaxy disappeared. The group of crazy and ambitious people took this opportunity to hide, and then secretly tried to control the queen of Vajra, thereby controlling the Vajra tribe.
But Yang Hui couldn't say it, even if it was just an unfounded guess. After all, this guess was too shocking. Most people would think Yang Hui was crazy, and Howard Glass, a shrewd old fox, might think too much.
"Forget it, let's deal with the problem at hand first."
"Okay, I will also send a fleet to search for Galaxy's traces in the nearby space."
After saying that, Yang Hui got up and left. He still had to go to LAI Company. The Vajra wreckage brought back this time must be studied carefully, and the thing under development must also be accelerated.
The new year has begun, and this book is still going on, and it may continue for a long time. Thank you all readers for your continued support, and I hope you can continue to support me. I won't ask for votes or rewards. I wish you all peace and safety in the new year, everything goes well, single dogs are all single! Those with partners are all married! Those who are married have their own little babies!
