The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 252: Two Suns on a Different Planet
Year 28 of the New Era.

Several years have passed since the last large-scale blessing after the end of the plane war.

Under the naturalized rule of the coalition government, the indigenous groups of the King Kong plane have accepted reality.

An almost endless supply of clean nuclear energy, a majestic and stunning space elevator, a space port orbiting the Earth, "satellite high-speed flights" between the Earth-Moon system, airships and spacecraft flying all over the sky, and so on.

Various black technology that has gradually become popular in other planes of the United Government, such as human gene editing, efficient and convenient cancer treatment chambers, brain-computer helmets for advanced skills and military training, etc., have also begun to be exported to the King Kong plane.

In addition to providing the United Government with countless soldiers with peak physical fitness, the "Perfect Human Project"

The tens of billions of people in the United Government, whose average intelligence is at the level of senior scientific researchers, provide a continuous driving force for the innovative development of science and technology in the United Government.

The indigenous people marveled at the advancement and strength of the coalition government's military, technology, culture, and institutions.

Being a citizen under the rule of a coalition government has become the luckiest thing in their lives.

Everything seems to be developing steadily and in a positive direction.

However, the class contradiction between the indigenous group and the citizen group can only be alleviated. If we want to eradicate it, it can only be solved by "citizenship of all" and "acceptance of the blessing of democratic election by all".

The common trait of the human race has always been that people are not worried about scarcity but inequality.

But from the perspective of the coalition government, the indigenous groups' desire for blessings and victory in the plane war is also a driving force for development.

At the end of the 28th year of the New Era, the United Government officially started preparations for the Plane War again.

The US branch volunteered to fight, hoping to use actual combat to vindicate the reputation of its interstellar legion.

The newly formed Iron Knights Interstellar Corps officially served as the vanguard and took the lead in entering the alien dimension to explore intelligence for the United Government.

Ten thousand main knights and thirty thousand trainee knights carefully selected from the United Government Army.

In terms of the number of people alone, the number is not small, not to mention the need to deal with the complex environment that may exist in the other dimension.

The Iron Knights Star Legion is comparable to the other two Star Legions in terms of weaponry, protective vehicles, war machines, and various logistical support measures.

Except there are no "God's Chosen Warriors" with powerful super powers like Liu Peiqiang and Alice.

The configuration of the Iron Knights Interstellar Legion is no worse than that of the other two legions, and is even much stronger in some aspects.

Knight Commander Morris, as the rotating commander of the Iron Knights Interstellar Legion, bid farewell to the military and political leaders of the United Government on behalf of all the legionnaires.

Under the witness of the multi-dimensional global live broadcast, he put on the golden helmet of power armor that symbolized glory and bravery, and led the soldiers of his legion towards the teleportation array of the other dimension.

Countless citizens and indigenous groups cheered from the bottom of their hearts for the advance of the vanguard in the streets, in front of televisions and monitors.

Victory in the Plane War will bring immeasurable resources and benefits to the coalition government.

As the people living under the coalition government, they are also the biggest beneficiaries.

Past history has proven this.

Everyone is looking forward to the rich results this plane war will bring.

Carrying the expectations of more than 25 billion people under the rule of the United Government, the advance troops officially set foot in the new dimension.

A fierce wind blew up the yellow sand all over the sky and rushed towards Knight Commander Morris.

Everywhere you look, it's all desolate, with almost no green vegetation to be seen.

Only some thorny strips of vegetation with very deep roots cling to the rock layers and in the dark cracks of the stones, tenaciously surviving.

As soon as he looked up, Knight Commander Morris realized that they were probably not on the "Earth" in the other dimension.

Because there are two huge "suns" hanging brightly in the sky.

A "noon" star is in the sky, dazzling and emitting extreme light and heat.

A setting sun was setting, a slightly dimmer orange-red than the previous one.

“The air temperature was 65 degrees Celsius and the surface temperature was 91 degrees Celsius.

The oxygen content in the air meets the standard, trace radiation factors are detected, and the electromagnetic field is slightly disordered.

It has reached the minimum standard of physical survival environment for the soldiers of the United Nations government forces.

No harmful air components or substances that pose a threat to the Legion soldiers have been detected yet..."

Hearing the reports from the logistics support personnel, Knight Commander Morris took off his helmet and felt the air around him.

“There are no obvious features of the solar system here, and the preliminary judgment is that it is not in the familiar star system we currently know.

However, we can detect weak electromagnetic signals, excluding the interference of stellar ionization storms, which should be the signals sent by intelligent life..."

After more than ten minutes of exploration of the surrounding environment, the Iron Knights Interstellar Corps has gained a preliminary understanding of the environment they are in.

This is a planet with scarce life and harsh living environment.

It revolves around two "suns" in a complex celestial cycle.

Each day and night lasts up to 76 hours, of which daytime hours account for 66 hours.

And this long day is divided into three stages.

One sun is high in the sky, and the other is about to rise in the "sunrise" period.

During the "hot sun" period when the two suns are at their peak, the temperature is highest and the air temperature is expected to reach nearly 100 degrees Celsius.

One sun is shining brightly, and the other is about to set in the "dusk" period.

Each of the three takes up nearly 22 hours, plus a brief "night" period of just 10 hours.

Together, the four make up a “full day” on this strange planet.

"We are now in the 'twilight period', and it will take another five to six hours until 'nightfall'."

After hearing the adjutant's reminder, Knight Commander Morris nodded to indicate that he understood.

Unknown planet, strange environment.

All these made him frown continuously.

This is not a good sign.

The Iron Knights Star Legion came this time to prove themselves to the United Government and hundreds of millions of people.

However, the unfamiliar environment rendered all the previously formulated plans ineffective.

This is also the first time that the United Government has opened up a surface war teleportation point in a non-Earth environment.

The environment on this planet, if placed on ordinary people who have not received the blessing of democratic elections and have no protective equipment, will cause cancer in just a few days due to excessive ionizing radiation, solar storms and other problems.

In other words, the physical fitness of the soldiers of the United Government Army has been comprehensively enhanced, and with the blessing of the warrior genes of the "Perfect Human Plan", they can fight fiercely.

For ordinary natives, this planet has basically no value for immigration, which makes Knight Commander Morris feel a little regretful.

In order to prove the value of the Iron Knights Interstellar Corps, in addition to combat, it would be great if they, as the vanguard, could obtain some valuable intelligence information during this plane exploration.

A habitable colony planet is the best gift to the United Government. But obviously, this is not it.

Even more troubling is that the planet's atmosphere is not nearly as thick and stable as Earth's.

Due to its thin atmosphere, the planet is constantly ravaged by cosmic radiation, dust, and electromagnetic storms.

The drone monitoring equipment equipped by the logistics support unit could not even monitor the surrounding area. It lost all signals and crashed out of control just a few hundred meters after taking off.

Morris could only arrange his subordinates to explore the surrounding areas based on the small team.

To be on the safe side, the large force was stationed on a hill sheltered from the wind. The flat wasteland all around could give the large force enough time to deal with emergencies.

The exploration team is composed of Space Marines equipped with plasma guns, ionization shields and wearing power armor.

Ride a power-assisted vehicle named "Penne Car".

The off-road vehicle-like "PenPen" looks more like a flattened pickup truck.

It’s just that the chassis is high enough to provide better road passability.

Its defense and firepower attributes are almost non-existent. It is just a vehicle for the interstellar legionnaires to travel.

After speeding towards the northwest for more than 09 minutes, the team numbered A finally discovered the wreckage of a pointed metal building on the surface hidden under the yellow sand.

Refreshed, they quickly adjusted their direction and rushed towards the metal building.

When they got closer, they realized that it was the wreckage of a human spacecraft.

"It's a bit strange. The damage here doesn't look like it was caused by a plane crash or a failed takeoff.

It was more like it was torn apart by something from the outside..."

The team was very excited to discover intelligent life, which was very likely created by humans from another dimension.

However, the jagged and destructive damage on the hull of the spacecraft wreckage made the team members confused and alert.

"Notify headquarters that a major discovery has been made 36 kilometers northwest of the origin. Send the video and image data as well."

After giving his orders, the elite knight, who was the team leader, was about to lead his men into the wreckage of the spacecraft to explore.

"Boss, let alone video and image data, our portable communication equipment can't even contact the base camp.

Damn the ionized pulse storm, communications are severely affected beyond 20 kilometers."

The team leader paused after hearing this, but still decided to prioritize investigating the actual situation inside the spacecraft wreckage.

The "iron hand" with the power armor easily broke open the metal cracks on the outer layer of the spacecraft.

Following a creaking sound of metal tearing, what came into view were two human corpses with extremely tragic deaths.

The space suit helmet worn by one of the bodies appeared to have been pierced by a sharp object.

The astronaut's head exploded like a burst watermelon inside the transparent helmet.

The other corpse died in an even more tragic manner, with the body torn into multiple pieces by some unknown force.

Most of the cabin was covered with his blood.

What is even more shocking is that there were scattered guns and weapons near the bodies of the two men.

It seems that they experienced fierce resistance before their deaths.

But the result was obviously in vain.

Just as the team leader was frowning, wondering what kind of thing could be able to kill astronauts who were protected by a sturdy spacecraft and armed with weapons.

A Space Marine removed a sharp horny object with countless jagged spikes on the edge from the broken spacecraft wall in the corner.

It looks like the sharp limbs of sea crabs on Earth, but is much larger and more lethal.

Staring blankly at the meter-long broken arthropod keratin, everyone in the team had an ominous premonition.

“The electric-powered rifle uses a lightweight polymer material shell design.

But it is chemical gunpowder ammunition..."

Another Star Legion soldier who picked up a gun in the cabin tried to judge the technological level of this strange human civilization by the design of the gun.

The results are somewhat puzzling.

Lightweight polymer materials and electric drive design represent the other party's technological power that surpasses many indigenous dimensions.

At least that's the case when it comes to light weapons military equipment.

But generally speaking, at this stage, they will develop energy weapon technology, similar to the plasma pulse weapons, laser weapons, plasma guns and the like of the United Government and Cybertron civilization.

As a result, the other side was using chemical gunpowder as the most critical ammunition to attack the main body.

Although the bolters equipped by the Space Marine Legion are also chemical gunpowder weapons, thanks to the abnormal physical fitness of the Space Marines, the bolters can be designed to be as heavy as mortars.

The amount of ammunition it can carry and the destructive power of the ammunition are far beyond the reach of ordinary firearms' 5.56 and 7.62 mm caliber bullets.

So why did this strange force of human civilization do this?
Is it a difference in weapon design concepts, or is there something else going on?
The team leader looked at the hideous-looking horny spike in his hand and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"Zizizizi~ Central bunker alarm, all survivors in the surrounding area who can receive the signal~zizizizi.

Upon receiving the signal, assemble at the central bunker immediately...

Zizi~Resist, wait for the federal army to rescue..."

A series of shrill alarms sounded, and the team looked at the communication equipment in the corner of the cabin.

An audio message was being broadcast in pure American English.

Central Bunker? EFF?

The currently known intelligence is far beyond the level that a team leader can decide on his own.

The team leader did not hesitate and immediately ordered his team members to dismantle everything in the cabin that was of value for intelligence analysis.

All were placed on the "pen truck" and evacuated towards the base camp.

Forty minutes later, many exploration teams returned one after another.

In addition to Team A09, other exploration teams also discovered numerous human civilization buildings, vehicles and even traces of fighting in various directions.

What is certain is that this planet must have been colonized by a strange human civilization.

And it was attacked by an unknown biological population, most likely some kind of arthropod.

The only problem is that all the battle scenes are filled with human blood, scattered body parts, yellow-green biological pulp, and broken biological cuticles.

Not a single intact human or monster body was found.

After analyzing the intelligence, Knight Commander Morris ordered the Interstellar Corps to be fully armed, ready for battle at any time, and march towards the "Central Bunker" in the alarm information.
