Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 18 Sergeant Major IV

It is very difficult to sink a warship with only secondary guns.

The Earth United Nations did not expect such a close-faced fight, so it did not prepare any countermeasures.

But the opponent was a battle-experienced space fleet. After discovering the sudden face, it immediately activated the space battle mode.

The carrier-based aircraft on the spacecraft were constantly being thrown out, swarming like bees into the fleet of the United Nations on Earth.

The head of each carrier-based aircraft is equipped with a drill bit that can break through high-strength alloy steel. With the help of a powerful engine, it is inserted into the hull of the United Nations Space Fleet.

A large number of heavily armed space troops appeared in the hull with almost no defense facilities.

The soldiers from the United Nations on Earth held small pistols and wore cloth military uniforms. When faced with the aliens who were heavily armed, wearing heavy armor, and holding automatic rifles, they were only massacred by one side.

Not long after, they were killed all the way from the crew room to the ship's command room, and the entire frigate was completely destroyed.

The result is that the enemy only needs two or three carrier-based aircraft loaded with soldiers to easily occupy the United Nations warships.

However, the warships on the United Nations side can only continuously attack the enemy's hull through secondary guns with low attack power.

Even if the enemy's ship is beaten to pieces and there is no single shot from the main gun to determine the outcome, it is all in vain.

In the Battle of Barnard, the enemy, at a complete disadvantage, flashed from one end of the hyperspace channel to the other, and fought as soon as they appeared.

This should have been the best time for the United Nations to counterattack.

But because they adhered to the concept of xenophobia, the entire space army was killed by the establishment.

After this battle, the space forces of the United Nations on Earth are almost completely wiped out. If the enemy catches up to the earth at this time, then the civilization waiting for the earth will be destroyed.

Fortunately, everyone in the Space Army knew this very well, and therefore none of the escaped battleships chose to return to Earth immediately. Instead, they chose to continue making hyperspace jumps aimlessly in the universe.

I don't know if the pursuers behind them didn't catch up, or if they were indeed led astray.

In short, after receiving the news from the earth, they have been waiting seriously for a long time, and even prepared an escape plan, but the other party has not come to find them.

Today, the Earth United Nations has gradually slowed down, and has learned from the last experience and is prepared for this kind of situation.

The Earth United Nations is not afraid that the other party is looking for it, so it has restarted the space exploration plan, continues to develop surrounding star systems, colonize planets, and re-enter a stage of rapid development.

Yu Minghai was a survivor at that time.He is also one of the few geniuses who directly joined the Space Army at the age of 18 with his super high shooting talent.

This is very rare in the United Nations as a whole.

Yu Minghai originally wanted to follow his brother's footsteps, but he didn't expect that in the end he would take his brother's chance to escape.

This is Yu Minghai's constant pain. He hoped that at that time, he would push his brother into the escape pod and face those heavily armed aliens with a small pistol.

This was undoubtedly an act of suicide.

So when a similar scene appeared again, Yu Minghai followed Qin Xu without hesitation and jumped directly into the middle of the endless wave of deformed monsters with no heads visible at a glance.

Yu Minghai knew that this was a fatal act, but when he saw the other person jumping, he still jumped with him.

For no other reason than that he was ready to die.

But the final result surprised everyone.

Qin Xu jumped because he was sure of victory, while Yu Minghai jumped because he was certain that he would die.

The two people with completely different ideas ended up bringing nearly a thousand people out of the monster wave almost completely.

This has to be said to be an indescribable tacit understanding.

But Fan Yu Minghai calmed down and did not jump down with Qin Xu.

Presumably, most people would not follow Qin Xu to commit suicide like this.

If that's the case, it's hard to say how many of the nearly [-] people in the team can survive.

Almost everyone in the scientific research team is injured, and Chen Xiaomeng is one of the few scientists who is still active and helping the medical staff.

Most of the injured were scratched by sharp claws, and Chen Xiaomeng's main job was to bandage their wounds.

I don’t know how long I have been busy, but after finishing treating the last person in sight who needed to have his wounds treated, Chen Xiaomeng sat down against the wall with some exhaustion.

Raising her hand to wipe her sweaty forehead, Chen Xiaomeng was stunned for a while while looking at the still extremely busy temporary treatment center.

Not long after, Chen Xiaomeng saw an idle person in the crowd. Chen Xiaomeng stood up and walked over.

"The number of nurses is seriously insufficient now. Why don't you go and help?"

Chen Xiaomeng said to Qin Xu.

Qin Xu also felt that it was special for a living person like him to have nothing to do here, and said with some embarrassment: "I also want to help..."

"Then you still pay."

"I do not know."

"..."

Chen Xiaomeng was used to Qin Xu knowing nothing except fighting.

Just when she wanted to take a break, she began to teach Qin Xu some simple first aid knowledge step by step.

The two of them worked like this for a long time, until all the wounded were properly placed and they were finally able to take a breather.

"How is Hu Yiyi's condition? Why hasn't he woke up yet?"

Chen Xiaomeng took Qin Xu to Yu Minghai's side.

At this moment, there were two mermaid dolls beside Hu Yiyi on the hospital bed, one on the left and one on the right, just like the two guardians.

"how to say……"

Yu Minghai said with a headache.

"Usually, one monster can make her scream for a long time, but now there are hundreds and thousands of them. I don't know how long she will be unconscious for. But I just had the doctor come to see her. The doctor said it's fine, so she should be fine."

"By the way, Qin Xu." Yu Minghai looked in Qin Xu's direction.

"what happened?"

"I have written clearly what happened this time to the superiors. Soon you should be able to officially become a member of the United Nations Space Force."

"..."

"Why do you seem unhappy to me?"

"It's nothing, Qin Xu, remember to be careful there. Don't know this or that, you will be laughed at."

Chen Xiaomeng took a deep breath, and then forced a smile.

"Also, you should take the one hundred thousand whys I gave you with you. The wound treatment skills I learned today are also in my book. Of course, you should read more and learn more at ordinary times. ask."

"When you get there, you need to find a senior to take you. Otherwise, with your current knowledge base, you will get into trouble sooner or later."

When Chen Xiaomeng was talking about precautions, the voice of 550A suddenly appeared.

"C-level astronaut Qin Xu, you have demonstrated extraordinary combat capabilities in this rescue operation, and you are specially promoted to be an officer of the United Nations Space Force and awarded the rank of sergeant major of the fourth rank."

Qin Xu took out his communicator and glanced at it. The information has changed from a C-level scientific research astronaut to an officer of the Earth United Nations Space Force.

The Space Army started with the rank of fourth-level sergeant major, and Qin Xu jumped through many levels in one go.

Chen Xiaomeng saw the content on Qin Xu's communicator out of the corner of his eye. The subordinate department had changed from the human deep space fleet to the fourth-level sergeant major of the Earth's United Nations Space Force.

Yes, sooner or later this day will come.

Qin Xu was not a qualified scientific researcher. Chen Xiaomeng knew this from the first time she met him.

But when something like this actually happened, she still couldn't accept it.

In the Ideal City Space Station, the new astronauts were gathering on the platform and entered the scientific research ship in an orderly manner after Su Lixuan's speech.

This time, the crew of the Mozi research ship was almost wiped out. There were 1000 people on the ship. After the Alpha star uprising and the lost planet incident, there were now less than 600 people left.

After approval by the president, the research ship Mozi recruited about 400 new astronauts.

Chen Xiaomeng was on the scientific research ship, looking through the glass at the new astronauts lined up to board the ship.

Not long ago, she was standing below with other newcomers waiting to board the ship, but times have changed, and now she is an experienced crew member.

Standing in front of the glass window of the scientific research ship, Chen Xiaomeng had endless emotions, but in the end, no matter how many emotions he expressed, they just turned into a sigh.

"Hey, seniors over there, can you help move the things?"

A girl was carrying a big box, staggering towards this side.

"Okay, here we come."

Chen Xiaomeng was still a little unaccustomed to being called "senior" by Qin Xu and suddenly becoming a senior.

"Why did you bring such a big box of stuff? What's in it?"

Chen Xiaomeng and the girl each moved a corner of the box and asked as they moved.

"Personal items. Some books and stuff."

"Do you also like paper books?"

Chen Xiaomeng was a little surprised.

"Oh? So you are too, senior?"

the girl continued.

"Hello senior, my name is Wang Xue'er, my major is space biology research. Please give me your advice."

"You don't need to call me senior, just call me Xiaomeng. I was a newcomer not long ago...it's just that a lot of things happened, that's all."

With that said, Chen Xiaomeng changed the topic, "But space biology research is a rare major. So far we don't seem to have seen a single space creature. After all, is there really a creature that can live directly in a vacuum? ?”

"Good question!"

Wang Xueer suddenly raised her voice and said.

"So, I already have all the information about space creatures in this box."

"all?"

"Yes, all of them. There is only so much research on this in the entire human civilization."

"Well, there are really very few people studying this major. So what are the final results of your research?"

"The current research on space biology is all theoretical and without empirical evidence. No matter how much you talk about it, it is empty talk. If you don't go to the deep space of the universe to witness it with your own eyes, you will never be able to get the results of your research on the earth."

"Too."

After moving Wang Xueer's things, the two chatted in the room.

Wang Xueer opened her box. As expected, there were many books inside, but there were also many things like photos.

Chen Xiaomeng picked up a photo and looked at it, "This is it?"

"Oh, I had a puppy when I was a kid. This was taken at that time."

"So cute."

"Yes, its name is Paopao. Because it always likes to run around and is so lively."

Wang Xueer seemed to have remembered something happy and said excitedly.

Immediately, the expression on his face gradually dimmed, he stopped talking, and just silently packed his things.
