Chapter 459 Always ready
They've arrived.

[Thirty minutes ago, we completely lost contact with the New Hope.]

The conference room at Blue Star headquarters was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Yuan Lang closed his eyes, then opened them again, and let out a long breath.

The day has finally arrived.

The sword that had been hanging overhead has fallen; all that's left is to go all out!

"All of Earth, enter a state of combat readiness to engage the enemy!"

At the Antarctic base research center, Li Dawei took off his helmet, and the constantly fluctuating data in front of him instantly froze.

Time was running out; the Covenant acted faster than expected.

It seems that the destruction of Covenant Exploration Team No. 11839 has greatly shocked the Covenant.

Li Dawei stood up and walked to a Guixu single-unit mech encased in bulletproof glass: "Activate the Overlord."

The bulletproof glass cover narrowed downwards, revealing the mech with a silvery metallic sheen.

"Wait, where do you want to go?" The research assistant stopped Li Dawei.

The Overlord mech is a space mech still in the experimental stage. Under Li Dawei's guidance, Blue Star used its 3.0 industrial level to meticulously craft this prototype.

No one has ever tried it, and no one knows whether it can protect the safety of the pilot in space.

The research assistant sensed Li Dawei's intention and spoke rapidly, his words filled with urgency and disapproval: "You can't go! It's too dangerous!"

Li Dawei easily bypassed it, his expression filled with nostalgia as he looked at the Overlord: "This is the first standard mech of the Guixu Space Force. At the time, Principal Lin wanted a biological mech, but our industrial capabilities couldn't produce one, so we settled for second best and designed this Overlord."

"With the Overlord's arrival, who can rival it! It played a crucial role in our battle... This time, it will fight for Blue Star as well!"

The research assistant, meeting Li Dawei's unwavering gaze, was speechless and could only watch helplessly as Li Dawei got into the Overlord.

On the other side, Qiu Xiaomei and Qiu Laoda at the Changbai Mountain Tianchi base were packing their luggage.

They were urgently conscripted into the Solar System Fleet. The second star-class warship of Earth had just landed and was sent to the front lines before it could undergo further testing.

The number of trainees preparing for air force training did not complete the planned courses, with a pass rate of less than one in ten.

In order to make this behemoth function as effectively as possible, veterans like Qiu Xiaomei were temporarily recruited.

After a short period of training, they can be assigned to basic positions and shine in their roles.

Optimus Prime watched the spectacle from the sidelines.

Qiu Xiaomei busied herself with the task, then, after a moment's thought, gave the turtle bowl to Qingtianzhu: "Take good care of it. It's my lucky star; I've had it for over twenty years."

The night before the decision was made to activate the first beam of light, Qiu Xiaomei couldn't sleep and wandered around the mountains, where she found this little turtle.

Qiu Xiaomei muttered to the turtle all night, and the next day, she successfully activated the Tianchi weapon.

From then on, Qiu Xiaomei raised this little turtle, and for more than 20 years, it has been her companion day and night, and is even closer to her than a relative.

Optimus Prime stuffed the turtle basin into his chest storage compartment and circled around Qiu Xiaomei: "Are you really going to space? You're not going to take care of the Tianchi base anymore?"

Qiu Xiaomei looked around; the room was empty. She felt a little disappointed and reluctant: "The energy required to activate the ninth pillar of light is too great. There's no need for me to continue guarding this place."

Earth simply can't accumulate that much energy. The energy required for that final ray of light is an astronomical figure!
Qiu Xiaomei couldn't believe how wealthy Kyushu Star must have been in the past to be able to use such energy-intensive weapons!
Qiu Xiaomei sighed inwardly; she might not live to see Principal Lin again.

Optimus Prime couldn't quite describe his feelings. As a being of a cosmic civilization, he had long been accustomed to the destruction of civilizations and the cycle of life and death, but for some reason, seeing Qiu Xiaomei going to space made him feel uneasy, as if his programming had malfunctioned, leaving him completely uncomfortable. "You're the head of the Tianchi Base, a leader. Is it appropriate for you to go to space as a lowly soldier?"

Qiu Xiaomei turned her head and looked directly at Optimus Prime.

Her eyes were like flickering torches, burning with unwavering conviction, so intense that Optimus Prime dared not look directly at them and silently looked away.

"With a formidable enemy before us, humanity knows no distinction of rank or status. I am willing to go anywhere and do anything, whenever necessary!"

Optimus Prime didn't dare to look up, and said in a low voice, "You can't win. You have no idea how powerful the Covenant really is. The racial abilities of the Covenant members are more numerous than the stars you can observe!"

Qiu Xiaomei slung her backpack over her shoulder and walked away without looking back: "Whatever. We'll deal with whatever comes our way!"

Qiu Xiaomei and Qiu Laoda took the space elevator and arrived at the spaceport.

They will travel aboard a lunar spaceship to Sky City 1 on the moon for emergency training, including gravity and pressure training.

After completing their training, they will travel directly from the lunar ring port to the second star-class warship on Earth.

The entire process must not take more than one month.

Qiu Xiaomei and Qiu Laoda were assigned to two different Sky Cities.

Qiu Xiaomei went to Sky City No. 3, which is a spherical city.

Imagine an artificial sun at the center of a sphere, providing equal sunlight to all regions. However, gravity varies greatly at different latitudes. Gravity is strongest at the equator, decreasing with increasing latitude, while the poles experience weightlessness.

Sky City 3 is the gravity training base for the Space Fleet.

This place was originally quite open, but after the Guixu government issued a war preparedness order, everyone from 80-year-old seniors to six-year-old children became soldiers and everyone had to come to Sky City No. 3 for training.

Although Qiu Xiaomei was not an inheritor, she had guarded the Tianchi weapon for more than 20 years, and her body was also affected by it, receiving a certain degree of strengthening. She successfully graduated from Sky City No. 3 in just one week.

Next, Qiu Xiaomei went to the Lunar Star Ring Port.

According to the original plan, the new orbital port was to circle the lunar equator, integrating a spaceport, training base, and scientific research institute, and undertaking various responsibilities.

Li Dawei once proposed using the lunar star-ring port as a fulcrum to build a lunar shield and deploy planetary-level weapons.

Unfortunately, it's all too late. The lunar ring port is not yet completed. Currently, it's just a city with an area of ​​less than 200 million square kilometers, floating alone near the lunar orbit.

Qiu Xiaomei received starship training here and successfully became a member of the starship Wildfire a week later.

Starting from the lunar ring port, it forms the Blue Star Fleet's defensive line.

Hundreds of warships lined up in the three-dimensional universe, looking menacing.

When the Wildfire took off from Earth and entered the vast universe, Qiu Xiaomei truly understood what a colossal object was.

The Wildfire is larger than the New Hope and is closer to the true stellar-class warship that Li Dawei described.

Those densely packed starships looked like small boats floating around a giant ship in front of it.

Qiu Xiaomei saw many familiar faces on the Wildfire, as the main force of the Guixu Army had all arrived.

Because the Guixu government understands very well that their battlefield is in space.

The space war is lost, Earth is lost!

If we win the space war, Earth wins!
