Chapter 360 "Future" "Federation" "Steel"

Inside the cabin of the civilian ship;

"."

Lyon, sitting by the right porthole, was still using the holographic screen to browse the relevant information about the "One-Four" universe.

Outside the fully sealed porthole, all the stars emitting light into the deep space of the universe "flashed" one after another outside the window like meteors breaking through the atmosphere.

But in fact, the stars have not changed at all, and they are still moving according to their original orbits.

The source of this visual effect is that the civilian ship that Lyon and a group of investigators are on uses the warp engine to generate a "bubble" that wraps the hull, and without violating any logic and restrictions, it achieves a state of superluminal navigation in the physical universe.

The "Star Fleet" universe numbered "One-Four" has not yet developed a technological product similar to the jump engine, let alone the "instant teleportation" technology like the "Halo" Forerunner.

However, the humans in the "Star Fleet" universe and the Arach Zerg have the technology to detect "wormholes" and "wormhole entrance and exit coordinates".

For example, in Starfleet 1, the meteorites that the Zerg launched at Buenos Aires did not cross the entire Milky Way to reach the solar system and then fall into the Earth's atmosphere.

They used Zerg units called "plasma worms" and used plasma bombs that were as powerful as ship-borne plasma cannons to "push" meteorites from their home planet's orbit into nearby wormholes.

Then, the meteorites instantly crossed tens of thousands of light years with the help of wormholes and drifted in the universe for several months before successfully hitting the Earth.

However, their ability to strike across galaxies is mostly successful by luck.

As for the means by which the Arach Zerg spread their eggs, reproduce, or invade the Milky Way, they also use plasma worms to send a large number of tightly wrapped eggs directly into wormholes for seemingly "aimless" spread.

As long as eggs successfully land on a habitable planet, then that planet is equivalent to theirs.

Because the telepathic ability of the Arach Zerg allows them to "overtake on a curve" and have more advanced and efficient instant communication methods than humans.

So they also carried out interstellar "colonization" earlier than humans, and their territory is about three times that of humans in "Starship Fleet".

As for how to prevent the meteorite attack that will only occur next year.

Lyon frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

The Intelligence Department did not give the exact month, day, and time, but provided an approximate time range, which is about between July and October in 2297.

Then, he and the investigators on the same ship have one year to climb to the "management level" and have enough say to influence the federal army to prepare for the meteorites attacking the earth in advance.

During this period, the human empire will not really be "idle".

Aida revealed to him that after the various companies of the Blood Angels complete the transfer and deployment to the New Hope Planet of the "One Four" front-line base, they will directly integrate with a "tough" attitude.

According to the plan, the Blood Angels will officially march towards the human colony near the New Hope Planet in two months.

After all, most of the colonists who chose to colonize at the border between humans and Zerg were people who refused to accept the rule of the United Citizens Federation.

At the same time, there are also naive ideas that "different races can coexist peacefully" and "as long as we don't provoke them, they will not attack us actively", and they actively come to the border to colonize and live.

These naive people think that the Federation is too dictatorial and militaristic.

Obviously, the Milky Way is very peaceful at this stage. Even if there are Arach Zerg and other intelligent races, they are all lives and should coexist peacefully. There is no need to spend a lot of money, resources and humans to maintain the fleet.

Or, the Federation should take the initiative to cut military spending and show other races in the Milky Way that "we humans are peace lovers."

"Tsk."

Seeing the Intelligence Department mention these so-called "pacifists", Leon showed his disgust without concealing his feelings.

Because those guys are just going to die.

And they are also very easy to be used by people or organizations with ulterior motives, and start a rebellion within the Federation to hinder the battle of the Federation army.

However, the border areas are mostly populated by those naive "pacifists" and opponents who are dissatisfied with the Federation's rule, which is conducive to the early integration of the Blood Angels.

When the United Citizens Federation realizes the existence of the Blood Angels and the Human Empire, it is already "too late".

Leon, Maggie and others need to act according to the situation and cooperate with the Blood Angels responsible for the front battlefield to gradually reduce the Federation's influence and control over the "14" humans, and try to achieve integration with the lowest casualties and even "smooth transition".

As for the Arach Zerg, which is hostile to humans, and other intelligent races?

The Blood Angels and the Human Empire will not waste time with them.

As long as it is determined that there are no human compatriots on the planet, or there are no resources worth developing and utilizing, the Blood Angels' company fleet will directly execute the "extermination order" to completely destroy the planet's surface in a short period of time.

And there are many ways to issue the "extermination order".

The company fleet can use the ship-borne high-energy beams to "burn the entire planet into glass" like the former Star Alliance Empire.

However, this method is inefficient and time-consuming, and will only be considered practical by company fleets when it is used for deterrence.

Secondly, it is to drop several "large-yield" anti-matter bombs on the surface of the planet to achieve the effect of "comprehensive cleaning".

If you want to completely wipe out the planet, you need the original body's direct fleet, that is, multiple Forerunner Sojourner-class dreadnoughts to be responsible for the execution.

At this moment, Leon is no longer concerned about the situation at the interface between humans and Zerg.

He raised his right hand lightly, touched the screen, and clicked on the file titled "Brief Information on the United Citizens Federation."

After opening it and browsing it quickly, Leon finally had a clearer understanding of the federation in the "14" universe.

Citizens United;

This political system, also known as the Human Federation, is responsible for controlling all planets in the solar system, including Earth, as well as the unified government of all colonies, military outposts, and edge bases.

Moreover, the Federation of the "14" universe was originally a parliamentary government founded and led by veterans, with its capital being Geneva.

The federation is mainly divided into executive and legislative federal authorities, that is, "civilian", and the federal military, which is responsible for "violence", "military" and "law enforcement".

Most of the members of the council are "governors" elected by colonial star systems.

The most important point is that if you want to become an official of the federal government, you must be a "citizen", and civilians have no right to apply for any positions.

To become a citizen, you must serve in the federal military.

During the war, the "Sky Marshal", the highest commander of the federal army, will have the highest command authority of the federal army and the federal government.

The reason why humans in the "14" universe established a government of this nature is because at the end of the 20th century in that universe, human society was close to collapse.

Until a group of veterans spontaneously formed a "vigilante" organization in order to eliminate robbery, rape, riots, etc., and in a short period of time the scale spread to the entire "14" Earth

The United Citizens Federation was "conceived" and officially established.

Since the original veterans simply could not trust politicians who could betray their loved ones and country for profit, and then trigger the collapse of human society, the necessary condition for joining the federal government was soldiers who had served and fought in wars.

Over time, this necessary condition has become a channel for civilians to obtain citizenship.

Moreover, the human beings in the "14" universe did not end their internal fighting because of the early establishment of a joint government.

The inhabitants of the moon, Mars, Europa and other planets within the sun were frequently bewitched and incited by the interest groups of the old society, and then launched fierce battles for colonies with the federal army.

However, after top scientist Pavel Cherenkov invented the revolutionary warp engine, he curbed the trend of intensifying civil war.

Human beings are relatively united and set their sights on the "starry sea and galaxy".

In the early 22nd century, the first colonial ship "Magellan" equipped with a warp engine successfully arrived in the Alpha Centauri galaxy. It also announced to the entire society that mankind had successfully stepped out of the solar system.

The next 22nd and 23rd centuries were marked by the "14th" wave of human colonization.

The total population has increased from less than 4 billion when the Federation was established to more than 160 billion today.

During the "dramatic" colonization period of "14" humans, they also came into contact with intelligent civilizations living in the Milky Way.

Most of them are still in the primitive or feudal era, and only a few intelligent civilizations have reached the level of mankind at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century.

Overall, it cannot pose any substantial threat to the federation.

Some commercial companies have also sensed "opportunities to make a fortune" by purchasing civilian ships equipped with warp engines and hiring security teams composed of veterans, and then used "Want to experience a trip to ancient times?",

"Let's explore the aliens on the alien planet! Let's hunt, warriors!" and other brainwashing advertisements provide "customized" travel services to civilians and citizens with middle and high incomes.

If they pay more, these companies would not mind letting their security teams and customers with customized services experience a journey of "what is a god" on a planet of a lower intelligent civilization.

After all, aren't transport boats that can fly in the sky and guns that can fire warheads legendary "artifacts" for intelligent creatures of lower civilizations?

The federal government will not curb this kind of behavior at all.

Because the mainstream thinking of the federal government is "humanity first."

When the Federation fleet discovered an inferior intelligent civilization, it was already very "merciful" by not dropping a few nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs on the surface of its home planet.

for such an approach.

It’s hard to rate Lyon.

Although Atlas and the Human Empire he works for are also "people-oriented" and "human-first" organizations, they will not take pleasure in other races for no reason, or even abuse them.

Amusement parks and zoos with the theme of "Fantasy Continent Terraira", Atlas have signed "employee contracts" with different races of Terraira.

Griffons, swamp wolves and other spiritual animals were all brought to the zoo by trainers hired by Atlas who could communicate with them.

As long as they are Terraela animals living in the zoo, almost all of them are "shiny and shiny" and "fat and strong".

As for "experience the journey through ancient times".

The game department of Atlas Entertainment has long used the various technologies of the Biology Department to develop immersive "virtual reality (VR)" equipment.

The price of a full set of equipment is only 40cR (credits), which is equivalent to 200 US dollars in the main universe society before the establishment of the empire.

Combined with the various large-scale games adapted to VR equipment developed by the game department, it can be said that all residents of the empire can experience the journey of "traveling to ancient times", or even "traveling to the future" or "mythical world".

Of course, some games are too violent, bloody and indecent, and minors are prohibited from playing.

At this time.

After Leon got familiar with the United Citizens Government again, he continued to use the hard light screen to assign tasks to Maggie and others who were riding on the civilian ship with him.

For example, he and Maggie, investigators who are good at physical skills and direct confrontation, are ready to report to the mobile infantry of the federal army.

And several investigators who have the potential to be transferred to the Inquisition will try to apply to go to the Federal Military Intelligence Bureau.

Because telepathy really exists in the "14" universe, and these investigators have a certain degree of psychic talent.

So it is the most appropriate choice to let them go to the Federal Military Intelligence Bureau.

If everything goes well, their promotion path in the Military Intelligence Bureau may be so great that they can secretly influence the deployment of the Federal Army.

After issuing the assigned tasks.

Lyon got up and left the cockpit, went to the four-person cabin, and prepared to lie down and rest.

At present, the pilot is driving a civilian ship to the nearest wormhole. It will take at least half a week for them to arrive at the "14" Earth.

Therefore, Lyon plans to lie down and rest first, and then continue to review the smart and stupid AIs, and use the local network and data of New Hope to forge a "real" identity file for them.

Four days later.

September 8.

In the solar system of the "14" universe, and on the side of the Earth that is also in the third orbit.

Countless spacecraft, transport boats and military warships are sailing in the space near the Earth and in the low-Earth orbit.

As the satellite of the Earth, the Moon, its equator is surrounded by a giant building similar to the "Great Wall of Steel".

And thousands of frigates, cruisers and supply ships are anchored in the port of the "Great Wall of Steel" for inspection and maintenance.

At this time, the civilian ship carrying Leon, Maggie and others has just finished its warp voyage.

Then, according to the requirements of the Moon Tower, it is ready to go to the designated port of the "Great Wall of Steel" to anchor and accept boarding inspection.
