Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 480 Fighting Life
In fact, Feng Mars is also the only colonized planet re-colonized by the Human Federation.

It took about 100 years for the Human Federation to complete the environmental transformation of Feng Mars.Only limited by the technology at that time, the transformation was not thorough.The point is that the core of Fengxing Mars has been severely damaged. Even with the current technology, it is impossible to make Fengxing Mars look like it used to be without using a lot of resources.The result is that after the transformation, the environment of Feng Mars is still not suitable for human survival.

Of course, after the temperature drops, it has been able to allow human beings to survive.

Over the next few hundred years, before the outbreak of the Fourth Greenwich War, wave after wave of colonists came to Beacon Mars.Strictly speaking, these people are not colonists, but adventurers for money, for profit, for getting rich overnight, and for becoming famous overnight.

These people brought temporary prosperity to Fengxing.

It can be said that this is also a flashback.

Although this wave of opening continued until after the end of the Fourth Greenwich War, there will always be an end, and the glory can never be repeated after that.

During the Fourth Greenwich War, the Galactic Alliance strictly guarded against death, and the Beacon Galaxy where the Beacon Mars is located was the key defense area.Although the Silicon Charm Alliance has entered the Beacon Galaxy many times, none of them succeeded, or even approached once, and they were blocked several light-years away.That's why, in this tragic war, the Beacon Galaxy was not affected much, let alone suffered serious damage.In addition, during the hundreds of years of war, legions of various civilizations came here, and tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Beacon Mars, which brought massive consumption.For the residents of Fengxing Mars, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune.

At its peak, there were more than 20 billion soldiers from various civilizations stationed on the Beacon Mars!
You know, this is 20 billion officers and soldiers.If you count the entourage, especially the businessmen who came here to make war fortune after smelling business opportunities, there will be even more.Although there is no accurate statistical data, it is conservatively estimated that there were at least 500 billion people who visited Beacon Mars during the Fourth Greenwich War, and the number of civilians who stayed on Beacon Mars for more than a year was not 100 billion, but 50 billion. .

This prosperity continued until the end of the Fourth Greenwich War.

Because it would take time to demobilize the troops and redeploy the Greenwich line of defense, the beacon fire did not decline immediately after the war ended.

However, the decline of Fengxing is inevitable.

To put it bluntly, before the outbreak of the Fourth Greenwich War, the resources on Fengxing Mars were almost exhausted.During the war, in order to provide the army with words, the remaining resources on Fengxing Mars were frantically exploited, mainly because it was cheaper to obtain resources locally than to transport them from the rear.

Without resources, Fengxingxing would have nothing.

With the depletion of resources, the residents on Fengfeng Mars also left one after another.

In the following hundreds of years, Fengxing was almost completely forgotten by the outside world, and even those colonists who moved out from Fengxing were unwilling to look back on the past.

Until the outbreak of the Fifth Greenwich War, Fengxing failed to regain its glory.

Quite simply, in the most tragic war in the history of the Galactic Federation, especially in the early stages of the war, the Silicon Magic Alliance occupied the absolute dominance.More importantly, because as early as during the first Greenwich War, Fengxing Mars was occupied by the army of Silicon Demons, and it was severely damaged, and the core of the earth was almost completely lost. Not taken seriously.

Among other things, without the earth's core, it would be difficult for the Silicon Charm Alliance to transform Feng Mars into a planet suitable for silicon-based organisms.

Of course, this is not a bad thing.

Because it was ignored by the Silicon Charm Alliance, Fengxing Mars was not destroyed.After the Human Federation launched a counterattack, Fengxing was quickly recovered.

At that time, in order to recover the Wolf Smoke Galaxy, the two sides were still fighting a battle here.

This battle also became a turning point in the fate of Feng Mars, but it failed to make Feng Mars regain its glory.

That is, after the defeat of the Silicon Demon army, some of the remnants fled to the Beacon Mars, and some Silicon Demon warships that were damaged in the fleet decisive battle made an emergency landing on the Beacon Mars.After regaining the Wolf Smoke galaxy, the Human Federation left a legion responsible for sweeping up the remnants of the enemy.This legion was stationed on the beacon fire, and some officers and soldiers stayed after the war.After the war, some adventurers came to Beacon Mars to earn income needed for survival by digging out the silicon ghost warships that crashed on Beacon Mars and selling items on the warships.It's just that there are not many silicon charm battleships available for mining, and they are non-renewable resources, so there are not many adventurers who stay and settle.

Those soldiers who stayed behind, as well as the adventurers who came after the war and made their homes here, are the ancestors of the current residents on the Beacon Mars.

Wick's father was a descendant of a soldier, while his mother came from a family of adventurers.

Of course, there are many people like Wick.It can be said that almost all the residents on Fenghuang Mars have the blood of soldiers and adventurers.

In Wick's memory, Fengxing has always been like this, and it has nothing to do with "prosperity".

In fact, including Wick, almost all young people want to leave this ghost place, even if they can't go to their home galaxy, they can go to other colonial planets.

It's just that, for them, leaving Fengxing is almost impossible.

The point is that Fengxing has long since fallen and been forgotten by people.

You know, there are only about [-] residents here, and all of them are poor. Not only are they impoverished, they also live an almost barbaric life.

Usually, there are only two kinds of people who come to Feng Mars.One is the postman who comes once a year, and rarely lands, and will leave after dropping the postal package, and will never stay.The other type is merchants who come here to buy goods, and there are irregularities. Sometimes several spaceships will come in a month, and sometimes there will be no one in a year.The frequency of merchants' visits is actually determined by the discoveries of the local residents, that is, when the residents have made major discoveries, such as digging up the wreckage of a Silicon Charm spaceship.Simply put, merchants will come when there is business to do here.Even so, merchants rarely take local residents away.Quite simply, these aborigines who have not received modern education are not considered labor force at all.

As for the federal authorities, even if they haven't forgotten Fengxing, they have long forgotten the residents here.

Among other things, over the years, Wick has never met a federal official.

That is to say, in the past thousands of years, the residents on Fengying Mars lived a life of fending for themselves.If it weren't for the occasional spaceship, no one would have thought that this was a colony planet of the Human Federation, and no one would have been able to connect this place with modern civilization.

To put it bluntly, people like Wick are no different from the indigenous people who lived here more than 5000 years ago.

In fact, this self-feding way of life is not too bad, at least Wick thinks so.

Although the environment on Fenghuang Mars is extremely harsh, the resources produced are enough to feed 10 people.Besides, the small number of people means that everyone gets enough, and it also means that everyone is very important.Without outside harassment, Wick and the others lived a comfortable life.Even though it was a little bit harder, Wick was very satisfied to be able to live in peace with his family.

It's a pity that the arrival of the army of silicon charms destroyed all the good things.

Wick was asleep when the enemy attacked.The violent explosion woke him up from his sleep, and before he could react, the enemy had already landed outside the village.Although panicked, Wick immediately came to his senses.More importantly, he is familiar with all the roads around the village, including those tunnels leading to faraway places.Before the enemy came in, he escaped with his sister.Unfortunately, Wick's parents failed to escape.Wick and his sister waited until dawn outside the village, and they left sadly when the enemy set fire to the village.Later, they found the escaped villagers and followed the refugee army to a shelter more than 1000 kilometers away.

It was the first time in Wick's life that he had been so far from the village.

Here, Wick met many refugees, including those brothers who later fought side by side.Similarly, he also met the leader here.

When he saw him for the first time, Wick didn't believe that the plain-looking middle-aged man was the leader at all.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

Afterwards, after following the leader to win one victory after another and rescuing batch after batch of refugees, Wick gradually believed that under the leadership of the leader, they would win the final victory, destroy all enemies, and defeat the invading powerful enemy. , Take home from the enemy.

Of course, Wick also had doubts, especially when his comrades around him fell one by one, he had doubts and even lost confidence.

It wasn't until one day that Wick suddenly understood.

Victory is not important, and it is not important whether they can regain their homeland. The key is what they should do and what they can do, or what they are alive for.

The homeland is gone, and no one can go back to the past.

Although this is not the war Wick and the others want, they can only accept it, and the only thing they can do is to fight the enemy to the end.

No matter whether it is to lay down the weapon or to live on, nothing can be changed.

Even if fighting can't change anything, at least I fought, at least I did something meaningful while I was alive, which can prove that I'm still alive.

This realization let Wick know that to fight is to live, and to live is to fight.

The enemy will not take prisoners, nor will they treat prisoners of war well.Surrendering is death, being caught by the enemy is also death, and fighting the enemy, the worst result is also death.

Since death is the final destination, why not let go of the burden and fight the enemy with all your strength?

In fact, this is also the thinking of other personnel who are still alive and continue to fight the enemy.What keeps them going is not the hope preached by the leaders, but a fixed way of life.In fact, this is the way of life that Wick and other residents have long been familiar with.It's just that, in the past, they were fighting against the harsh natural environment, but now they are fighting against powerful enemies who are armed to the teeth.
