Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 426 Vesta

After Liu Zhenquan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door of the reception room. Zhong Cheng smiled wryly.

This guy is already crazy!
But when Liu Zhenquan walked to the door, he stopped. He turned around and said, "Old leader, I almost forgot one thing when I was so happy."

"When I checked the game user data routinely recently, I found that Ganymede's users logging into the game are a bit abnormal!"

Zhong Cheng said with a smile: "Well, it's not a big deal. The user login portal of Jupiter and Saturn has been closed by someone. It's normal that people over there can't log in to the game."

Liu Zhenquan shook his head, "That's not what I meant. Ganymede has more than 2 million users, and they are offline at the same time, causing a large number of masters in the game to disappear!"

Zhong Cheng looked at him suspiciously, still not understanding what he was trying to say.

Liu Zhenquan scratched his head, "Let's put it this way, because of the huge number of users logged in in various areas of human beings, the probability of first-class masters appearing, such as the Angel Legion of the Bright Church, is the same, about [-] in [-]."

"However, there are millions of such masters among Ganymede users, and the ratio has reached [-] out of [-]. I feel that this is a bit abnormal, but there is no possibility of cheating in the system."

"I think you should send someone to investigate on the spot. Why are there so many masters over there? Is there something better than Muhe?"

"Okay, old leader, just this matter, I'm leaving first!"

Liu Zhenquan hurriedly opened the door and left, but he didn't expect his words to cause a storm in Zhong Cheng's mind.

Equivalent to the masters of the Angel Legion, and there are so many of them, is there any other possibility besides genetic warriors?

One million genetic fighters, if they were all equipped with mechs, what a terrifying force it would be!

Zhong Cheng finally understood what Jupiter and Saturn wanted to do. They didn't just want petty profits and autonomy, they wanted the entire solar system!
He suddenly felt his hands and feet were cold, and an unknown feeling welled up in his heart.

He immediately dialed Lu Yao's phone and shouted loudly: "Lu Yao, immediately notify the federal army to enter the first level of combat readiness, and prohibit all aircraft from Jupiter and Saturn from entering the asteroid belt defense line!"

"War is coming!"

……

2042 7 Month 18 Day.

Vesta, which is more than 3 million kilometers away from the earth.

Spaceport Vista City is still in the middle of the night.

Vesta and Ceres are the largest members of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Vesta is the second largest asteroid after Ceres, with an average diameter of 525 km.

Vesta originally belonged to the European Federation, and now it is one of the four most important transportation centers of the Human Federation in the Solar System in the asteroid belt, and it is also an important space fortress for the defense line of the asteroid belt.

Vesta City is the only space port on Vesta, one of the hubs connecting Jupiter, Saturn and the Earth, and one of the material distribution centers for many human colonized asteroids in the asteroid belt.

Vesta has a huge crater with a diameter of about 460 kilometers near the South Pole. Its width reaches 80% of the diameter of Vesta. The depth of the bottom of the pit reaches 13 kilometers, and the outer edge is 4 to 12 kilometers higher than the surrounding terrain. The total height difference reaches 25 kilometers, and there is an 18 kilometers high mountain peak protruding in the center.

Vista City is located on the top of this huge mountain. Twelve dome cities are built around the mountain, and the highest point is the space port.

There are 30 soldiers and civilians stationed here, most of whom are port workers, accounting for 70% of the total population of Vesta.

There are 3 troops stationed, 1 of which are the former Asian Federation Army newly transferred after the establishment of the Solar System Human Federation.

The space port on the top of the mountain is like an octopus, centered on the aviation tower in the middle, and eight space vehicle takeoff and landing channels are evenly extended.

Due to the microgravity environment on Vesta, these eight huge passages, 5 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide, protrude from the top of the mountain parallel to the ground, and they are like a big umbrella over the city of Vesta.

Five of the 33-story aviation towers are defensive positions specially equipped with heavy-duty laser cannons and heavy-duty electromagnetic guns, forming a tight firepower network with the forts all over the surface of the planet, which can attack any incoming space from 5 kilometers away. The aircraft conducts multi-directional fire strikes.

Coupled with the defense force's mecha units, space fighters, and unmanned fighters, Vesta is a mobile military fortress, and together with Ceres, Pallas, and Juno, it constitutes the fulcrum of the asteroid belt's defense line.

Since the advent of the spaceship in 2036, the three major federations have carried out the construction of defense lines in the asteroid belt for their own purposes.

It has taken shape in 6 years, and now, once integrated, it constitutes a powerful line of defense for the human colonization area of ​​the outer solar system.

On the 28th floor of the aviation tower of the Vista City Space Port, facing the No. 1 take-off and landing channel, is a heavy-duty coil electromagnetic gun.

It can launch a combined warhead with metal fragments weighing up to 500 kilograms installed in front of the nuclear warhead, and use the explosive force of the nuclear bomb to shoot high-temperature and high-speed metal at the enemy.

Although the launch frequency is very low, once every 10 minutes, its power is astonishing. It can punch a large spaceship with a diameter of 5 meters from 50 kilometers away and destroy all equipment and facilities within 200 meters. .

It can be said that a single shot can shut down a spaceship.

According to the operating regulations, it is operated by two gunners, one shooter and one observer. Usually, the shooter is a veteran and the observer is a recruit. The old brings the new.

The observer of this heavy-duty coil gun is a recruit who has just joined the army for less than a year. His name is Aaron, and he is from the Tennessee region of the North American administrative region.

Aaron sat seriously in front of the radar monitoring screen, paying attention to the movement in the starry sky, and from time to time he glanced at the deserted port outside the window.

Ryan, the shooter on the side, leaned back in the chair, put his feet on the console, and said lazily: "Dear Aaron, you may be disappointed these few days, you may not see a spaceship enter in a day." port!"

Since Brinton's public speech more than ten days ago, the route between Jupiter and Saturn and the earth has been interrupted, and the normally busy spaceport has been deserted for a while.

This disappointed Aaron, who enjoyed seeing various space vehicles.

Aaron didn't pick up his words, Ren took it for granted, he said to himself: "I will take you for another month, and I can leave this place where you don't shit, and then go back to my hometown on the earth to retire and marry a wife , plant the land, raise dogs, and play Dream World again, and never leave the earth again!"

Aaron replied: "Brother Ren, have you served five years?"

Ren nodded and sighed, "Yeah, I don't have any skills. I can't find a job in my hometown, and I can't receive relief money for a lifetime like the Orientals. I have to come out and serve as a soldier."

"I worked in the Lunar Defense Force for three years, and then I came to Vesta. The money I saved plus the resettlement fee will save me money until the day when I get my pension."

Aaron was obviously interested in this topic, and he asked: "Now the planetary regions outside the earth are in urgent need of manpower, and the salary and benefits are also very good, why don't you think about it?"

Ren said disdainfully: "Isn't it good for me to earn some money while playing in the Dream World? Do I have to go to places like Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars to open up wasteland?"

Aaron said full of longing: "I just want to leave the army in the future and fly out of the solar system in a spaceship to explore the stars!"

Ren sneered and said, "Little brat, you can just get over it, and you won't know how you will die then?"

Suddenly, Aaron pointed to the long-range radar monitoring screen and shouted: "Brother Ren, a spaceship is flying towards Vesta!"
