Chapter 572: The Eve of the Expedition to Proxima Centauri
As the new year of 2045 has just entered, an explosive news has swept the world.
The expedition horn that had been sounded ten years ago finally arrived as scheduled ten years later.
Ten years is enough for many things in the past, but people around the world have never dared to forget this matter under the pressure of appearance civilization. Now the prelude to the expedition will officially begin. People are looking forward to it and are afraid of the failure of this war and the catastrophe of the demise of human civilization.
At this moment, the United Army finally announced the supreme commander of the expeditionary army. Once the news of Li Chuan as the commander of the expeditionary army was announced, it caused a sensation all over the world.
At this critical moment, many doubts followed. People admire Li Chuan's achievements in the field of science and respect Li Chuan in great importance. It can be said that without his contribution in this field, human science and technology would not have developed so quickly.
But this does not mean that he is an excellent military commander. The biggest reason for the doubt comes from this. Li Chuan has never commanded a war. How can he lead the expeditionary force to win this crucial war that even determines the fate of mankind at such an important moment?
This kind of public opinion was long expected. A group of bigwigs from the Space Military Commission appeared to endorse Li Chuan, and public opinion was also guiding. Related military analysis programs, some of their own military analysts also comprehensively analyzed why Li Chuan was appointed as the commander of the Joint Expeditionary Force of the Earth.
For example, analysis points out that interstellar war is a brand new war model for any general, and there is no experience to learn from, and any general is the same. But Li Chuan is the person who is most familiar with the fleet, because the entire fleet was made by him from scratch, from hundreds of thousands of tons to nano-pirate combat uniforms, etc.
Li Chuan was already familiar with all this, and a general had to understand these things for at least several years. The war of civilization was approaching, and it was even imminent. There was not much time left for the human model.
But no matter what, Li Chuan has become a fact as the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, and it is too late to change now. With the unanimous guidance of governments in various countries on public opinion, and Li Chuan's current influence and reputation in the world, becoming the supreme commander of the expeditionary force this time has gradually been regarded by countless people as he will be ordered in danger.
Although there were doubts, there was no market soon. After questioning, more people were more willing to believe that the resolutions of the top leaders were not a joke, and they firmly believed that Li Chuan was the most suitable person at present.
There is no doubt that when this expedition is over and the day of returning with a triumphant victory, Li Chuan's reputation and influence will reach unprecedented heights.
...
"Once we enter the attack, our highly trained joint army will be able to defeat these beastly stinky reptiles with all our might..."
"What? The broadcast has begun?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, Lieutenant General Lie Chuan, the Supreme Commander of the Earth United Expeditionary Force, will make his final oath to all mankind before leaving the expedition..."
On January 17, 2045, hundreds of millions of people around the world were watching the same TV news program, and people saw Li Chuan, dressed in a joint lieutenant general's uniform, officially appearing.
"No matter how gorgeous the rhetoric and inspiring speeches are, there is no real victory in a fierce battle. The United Army is the first and last line of defense of human civilization. Behind us is our home star, our home, our tribesmen. We have no choice but to win the final victory of this war. We will fight until the last moment until the entire army is wiped out!"
Li Chuan's words were very short, but everyone could feel his unresolute heart. People had more expectations and less nervousness, because Li Chuan had never disappointed the world, and there was reason to believe that this time he would not disappoint and would return triumphantly.
The picture switched to outer space. The United Army dispatched several aerospace planes for live broadcasts. With the background of the blue earth, the Expeditionary Force's fleet appeared in front of people's screens from an unprecedented perspective.
With the home star as the background, ten super giants of hundreds of thousands of tons of mass are arranged in low-altitude orbit.
Following closely behind, a dense fleet of fighter jets poured out from the decks of two super aircraft carriers like swarms. Each aircraft carrier was loaded with 100 of the most advanced J-35 fighters, and a thousand drones.
The J-35 fighter jets are piloted by pilots, and each will have 10 unmanned attack aircraft accompanying them and form an independent combat flight formation, and the drone is responsible for the J-35 fighter jet.
Although these drones are smaller than J-35 fighter jets, they also have surface and orbital flight capabilities. They are aerospace drones, and their maneuverability is even higher than that of J-35. It's nothing more, because the overload that pilots have an upper limit and cannot maximize the maneuverability of the J-35. However, this problem does not exist for drones, as long as the central computer and AI can analyze and process live data.
Drone swarm operations are inevitable for technological development and progress. Such air firepower configuration will also mean that the two super aircraft carriers will have 200 J-35 fighter jets and 2,000 aerospace unmanned attack aircraft. Such air force firepower equipment is enough to defeat the world.
During the live broadcast of countless people on the ground, all carrier-based aircraft of the two super aircraft carriers were dispatched in full swing. Two hundred pilots were flying the J-35 fighter agency and patrolling the fleets into two hundred hybrid fighter fleets. More than two thousand aircraft were dispatched at the same time. The dense scenes like rain shocked every witness on the earth.
After patrolling the fleet for a week, two hundred pilots led their respective combat flight formations to arrange a row of "patrol"-shaped flight arrays on the low orbit above the earth. Each aircraft maintained a relatively static distance, and each formation maintained a relatively static distance.
After being shocked, countless people were excited and excited. They found that they had seriously underestimated their human strength.
Then an even more shocking scene appeared, and another specialized combat unit had cruisers, frigates and interceptors in the fleet.
"Villa! It's a Villa!"
"My God, so many..."
"Humans will win!"
At this moment, military fans of any country on earth will not be absent from this live broadcast. When the nanowizards appeared in their sight, countless military fans from all over the world, especially domestic military fans, were stunned in front of the screen, but then they couldn't help shouting excitedly.
Ten thousand vanguards left the ship and entered outer space, sweeping in densely like a storm, which was even more spectacular and shocking than the previous scene.
They were suspended in the void of the earth's orbit, and formed a formation in front of the fighter aircraft formation.
Nano-pirates are very small, but they represent one of the pinnacle masterpieces of human current scientific and technological level. You should know that under the same power, the smaller the combat unit, the better.
They look very small, not comparable to the fighter jets behind them, and are even smaller than the ten super giants in the fleet, like an ant vs. an elephant.
But their combat effectiveness is enough to be described as a hit.
More importantly, in the eyes of countless passionate young people, nano vanguards are the existence of god-level equipment. Every military fan dreams of having a set of such equipment or being a member of the vanguard.
The appearance and combat power coexist, and fighting face to face with the enemy is no longer as exciting as this kind of heroic fighting style that makes people excited, exciting and trembling.
