Chapter 479 Beacon fire and wolf smoke
Beacon Mars, Dragon War Continent, Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland.

The setting sun had already set, but under the shining of the night fire and bright moon, the sky was still bright.In fact, Yehuo Mingyue is not a satellite of Feng Mars, but a star in the Wolf Smoke Galaxy, that is, a secondary main-sequence star.Because the main-sequence star, Beacon, is a massive supernova, the smaller red dwarf is captured by its gravitational field and becomes a secondary main-sequence star in the galaxy.It's just because it's too far away from Feng Mars, so it looks like a brightly shining satellite.At least thousands of years ago, the aborigines living here always believed that it was a satellite, gave it a beautiful name, and even regarded it as a god who guarded the night.

The aborigines have long been extinct, and now live here are about 100 million human colonists.

Actually, that was a few months ago.

In that tragic battle, less than half of the residents managed to escape, and they were scattered in various places, living a precarious life.

Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as dragging out an ignoble existence.

If it wasn't for that person, I'm afraid these colonists who survived the catastrophe would not live long, let alone organize to fight against the invading powerful enemy.

Those who survive are the lucky ones, but this also means fighting against powerful enemies and experiencing more hardships.

In the past, months were not a long time for anyone.But in this kind of situation where we don't know if we can see the sun rise tomorrow after today, let alone a few months, even just a few days is extremely long, and those who can persist until now and have not collapsed are definitely Has a tenacious will.It requires not only the will to live, but also the firm belief to fight the enemy to the end.

Those who can persevere in desperation are definitely not ordinary people.

However, Wick knew that they were all ordinary people, and it was their leader who was truly extraordinary, the one who came to them in times of crisis, led them through the difficulties, and then led them to fight, and let everyone survive the desperate situation. See hopeful leaders.

It's just that, like all surviving colonists, Wick didn't know the leader.

He had seen the leader before, and he only knew that under that ordinary appearance, there was a steel-like will and an unshakable belief.

In addition, the leader has a mouth that can speak well.

No matter how great the failure, when everyone is desperate, the leader is still full of hope, and always makes everyone see hope again.

Perhaps, the surviving colonists can persevere, which is the hope that the leader said.

The question is, where is the hope?

Like all survivors, Wick has always felt that the leader's talk of hope is just to keep everyone going, not really there.

In fact, this is also understandable.

In times of despair, if there is no hope, how can we persevere?

The point is that Feng Mars is just an insignificant colonial planet, and even the entire Beagle Galaxy is not worth enough for the Federation to send reinforcements.

The Beacon Galaxy is one of the first few colonial galaxies owned by the Human Federation, and it is also one of the oldest and most thoroughly developed colonial galaxies.It's just that the Wolf Smoke Galaxy doesn't actually have much resources.5000 years ago, when the Human Federation had just established itself in the home galaxy, the Human Federation was still a very weak civilization, and it wasn't just the Human Federation that settled down in the fourth northern region.Although according to the rules set by the three top civilizations, all civilizations that made contributions in the war with indigenous civilizations can be assigned to the colonial galaxy, and the Human Federation has also made contributions, but limited by its own strength, the Human Federation is assigned to It is leftovers that no other civilization wants.The Beacon Galaxy is one of them, and it is precisely because of the lack of resources that it has not been favored by other civilizations.

However, for the Human Federation at that time, any colonial galaxy was of great value.

To put it bluntly, in order to build the home galaxy, the Human Federation can only find ways to develop the colonial galaxy and obtain the necessary resources from the colonial galaxy.

It is against this background that the Beacon Galaxy, as well as the only Beacon Mars that is suitable for human habitation, has been vigorously developed.

The hundreds of years before the outbreak of the first Greenwich War can be said to be the most prosperous period of Fengxing.At that time, more than 5000 million colonists came to settle here, and there were about 100 million builders in addition.During the period of about [-] years, Beacon Mars was the most prosperous planet in this area.Although it is far inferior to the home galaxy at that time, the sufficient labor demand has led many people to come here to seek gold and take risks.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.

The first Greenwich War completely changed the fate of the Federation of Humanity and the fate of Feng Mars.

Although compared to the subsequent Greenwich Wars, the first Greenwich War was nothing, not even a full-scale war. Using all the capital is tentative, but for the weak human federation, the impact of this war is extremely long-lasting, and it has not dissipated until now.

The main thing is that the Human Federation is at the forefront of the war!
In this war, Fengxing Mars was devastated, and it got this name.

At that time, Fengxing Mars was occupied by the army of silicon demons, and less than 1 of the more than [-] million residents escaped, and the rest died tragically under the iron hoof of the army of silicon demons.

When the human legion took back Feng Mars, the planet was beyond recognition.

It's very simple, in order to allow the army of silicon charms to station here, the enemy has transformed the beacon fire, and the methods used are extremely primitive and extremely barbaric.Break through the crust of Feng Mars, let the magma in the center of the earth flow to the surface, and create a high temperature environment suitable for the survival of silicon-based organisms.

It can be said that just the magma covering the entire planet has already made Feng Mars worthless for recolonization.

However, the Human Federation did not abandon Fengxing.

Quite simply, the Beacon Galaxy is too close to the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, less than five light-years away.In addition, the Beacon Galaxy happens to be on a course that runs through the Greenwich meteorite belt, and is the terminus of this course.Even now, this is the only route that can safely cross the Greenwich meteorite belt.Whether in peacetime or in wartime, this route has very important strategic value.

After the end of the first Greenwich War, the Human Federation built a space fortress in the Wolf Smoke galaxy.However, limited by the technology at the time, the Human Federation did not return to Beacon Mars, nor did it transform Beacon Mars, but sent warships to Beacon Mars from time to time for inspections.

Feng Mars is not suitable for human settlement, but it is very suitable for the survival of silicon-based organisms.

Although after the war, the Silicon Charm Alliance will not make a large-scale invasion, but those wild silicon beasts passing through the Greenwich Meteorite Belt must like the high temperature environment on Beacon Mars, and it is possible to settle on Beacon Mars.If it is not controlled, Fengxing Mars will definitely become a paradise for wild silicon beasts.

Obviously, no one wants a planetary lair on their turf.

This situation lasted for more than 1000 years, during which there were two Greenwich Wars.Fortunately, in the next two Greenwich Wars, the Galactic Alliance was fully prepared, and the top civilizations took the lead in the war, so the impact on the Human Federation was not great, and the Wolf Smoke galaxy was not captured by the army of silicon demons.Otherwise, Feng Xingxing wouldn't be what it is now, and it wouldn't even exist long ago.

After the end of the third Greenwich War, Fengxing ushered in its second spring.

At that time, the Human Federation was already one of the most powerful civilizations in the Northern Fourth District, and thanks to its great contribution in the Second Greenwich War, it gained more colonial galaxies and took on more defense tasks , and for the first time qualified to enter the Greenwich defense line.According to the resolution made by the Galactic Federation at that time, the Human Federation took over a section of the Greenwich Line of Defense.Although it only accounts for one percent of the entire Greenwich Line of Defense, the Human Federation has also obtained the privilege of establishing a military base behind the Greenwich Line of Defense.More importantly, the defense line taken over by the Human Federation is just north of the Beacon Galaxy, and the Beacon Galaxy has become an ideal place to establish a military base.

While improving its status, the Human Federation has also obtained more advanced technologies.

Of course, in the past 1000 years, the technological level of the Human Federation has also greatly improved.

It can be said that it is no longer difficult to transform the environment of Feng Mars, and it is definitely not troublesome to build a huge military base on Feng Mars.

In fact, this was also the original plan of the Human Federation.

That is, firstly carry out environmental modification on Fenghuangxing, and then make Fengxingxing into the strongest military fortress of the human legion in this area, or even in the entire jurisdiction.

A planet-level military fortress!
If this idea becomes a reality, then Fengxingxing will definitely not be what it is now, maybe it will not exist long ago.

Very simple, a planet-level military fortress, and only five light-years away from the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, guarding the only route that runs through the entire meteorite belt, let alone the Silicon Magic Alliance on the opposite side, even the top civilization of the Milky Way Alliance , and will definitely be envious.

During the survey of the Beacon Mars, that is, when preparing for the construction of a military base, a major discovery made the Human Federation change its original intention.

That is, there are a large number of precious resources that are easy to mine on Fengfeng Mars, especially rare metals.

This unexpected discovery ushered in a second wave of development for Fengxing.

In fact, this is also a blessing in disguise, because these rare metals that are almost exposed on the surface were originally in the core of the earth, and only flowed to the surface after the crust was pierced by the Silicon Magic Alliance.Because of the extremely harsh environment, the Human Federation had not discovered these rare metals before.

For the Human Federation at that time, this was definitely a huge treasure.

More importantly, the Human Federation is in a period of rapid development and urgently needs various resources, and the third Greenwich War has just ended, there is no threat for the time being, the construction of military bases can be delayed, and the resources needed for development But it can't be delayed.

Just like this, the Human Federation did not build Fengxing Mars into a military fortress, but carried out re-colonization.
