Chapter 151: Escape from the Blue Star!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“The energy shield is at 1%, Captain. We’re done for. Let’s initiate the particle black hole collapse…”

“We can’t do that. Other ships are nearby. If we start it now, we will all be finished…”

“Boom-!”

A battleship watches as the ship it’s on is hit and finally explodes.

“Break out!!”

“Break out!”

Seth roars, pushing his voice to its limits.

In front of him, other warships are falling one after another, acting as shields for the command ship, dying in their place.

In just three minutes of the charge, over fifty warships have been destroyed.

What’s frustrating is that each of these warships has the means to destroy all enemy ships, but they can’t use them because they are too close to their allies.

“We’ve escaped!” On the command ship, Milo joyfully announces, watching the enemy escort ships chasing after them.

But Seth grabs his collar and emphasizes, “We’ve broken out, not escaped!”

Milo instinctively wants to argue, but seeing Seth’s bloodshot, fierce eyes, he stays quiet.

Seven warships, chased by thousands, continue moving towards the Blue Star.

“As long as we win, what’s a little sacrifice?!”

Seth speaks somewhat madly. For the first time, he feels the pressure of being a leader.

Watching his subordinates die one after another is unbearable.

In the Solar System Combat Command Center.

Uncle Da, rarely manifesting here, is discussing with Zhao Yu, Colonel Chu, and others.

“According to the last detected results of the gravitational wave, it seems that Jupiter has exploded…”

“From the look of it, an exploded planet would cause gravitational wave chaos throughout the entire star system…”

On the detector, only the gravitational waves inside the solar system are chaotic. The ones further away, at a neighboring 4.2 light-years, are still calm, showing the status of every planet clearly.

“This should be an attack from the enemy organization…”

Zhao Yu nods, “We’ve already dispatched all the ships from the moon to the second defense line…”

Hearing this, Colonel Chu quickly says, “We should pull them back!”

“Huh?!”

Zhao Yu is a bit surprised and asks, “What do you mean?!”

“If the enemy has ships that breach the first line of defense, seeing the second defense line, their existing conventional firepower would certainly not be enough to break through…”

Colonel Chu explains, “If I were leading, I would definitely sacrifice a warship and use a particle black hole collapse to blast through the line…”

Zhao Yu frowns and asks, “If we pull back, and the line is blasted open, will there be enough time to fill the gap?!”

“There will be!”

Colonel Chu nods and says, “The enemy may have a stronger particle black hole collapse bomb than us, but they also can’t defend against such an attack…”

“Therefore, to avoid friendly fire, their other warships will certainly retreat to a safe distance of 500,000 kilometers…”

“As long as we maintain an equal distance from the explosion point, we can successfully take their place…”

He pauses, then adds, “The only uncertainty is how many kilometers away from the defense line they will self-destruct…”

“If they are too close and we are too far, we might not make it in time…”

Colonel Chu suddenly turns to Uncle Da and asks, “What is the absolute interception distance of our laser defense system?”

Uncle Da directly answers, “30,000 kilometers. Any unit within this distance will have difficulty avoiding a strike…”

Colonel Chu nods and continues, “So, we can pull most of the warships back to a position 470,000 kilometers from the defense line…”

“Then, place a small number of escort ships at 450,000 kilometers, 430,000 kilometers, and 410,000 kilometers just in case…”

“Lastly, we may need to take a part of the population, board the transport ships, and stand by at the center position between Earth and the moon. If we can’t resist the enemy’s attack, we can only escape in the opposite direction to avoid the total annihilation of mankind…”

Zhao Yu nods, then turns to Uncle Da and asks, “How many transport ships do we currently have?”

“Over 30,000. Among them, 20,000 are scattered on the front line, and more than 10,000 are transporting resources back and forth between Earth and the moon…” Uncle Da answers without hesitation.

Seeing the conversation between the two, Colonel Chu feels a bit puzzled.

This Zhao Yu seems to have more power than Chief Wu.

Zhao Yu, after all, is originally from Earth. How can he have a higher status than Chief Wu, who is from the Pangu civilization?

Is it possible that Zhao Yu has some hidden identity that he hasn’t revealed?!

Could it be that he is the prince of the Pangu civilization, lost on the Earth since childhood, and that’s why the Pangu civilization has shown interest in Earth?

Unavoidably, Colonel Chu recalls Zhao Yu’s background – an orphan since childhood, no parents, which matches the setup of an alien prince lost on another star.

“Then let’s temporarily empty all the resources on the transport ships and start evacuating people. The more we can move, the better, and we need to move fast…”

“That’s enough!”

Colonel Chu quickly said, “Our transport ships are 10 kilometers long, 800 meters wide, and 300 meters high. They can accommodate at least one million people. If we can divide the area properly, we can hold between three and five million people…”

He knew the data for all types of lunar warships by heart from his time at the Da Xia Base.

According to experts, a transport ship, if fully converted into a passenger ship, could hold up to ten million people.

This data model came from the neighboring island country, where a resident area of 8 square kilometers housed one million people. This area includes many buildings under 33 stories and lots of public facilities.

Given the 300-meter height of the transport ship, equivalent to a 100-story building, and excluding public facilities, it could absolutely fit ten million people.

With ten thousand transport ships, it wouldn’t matter if Blue Star had 8.5 billion people, even 85 billion. Given a month to convert the transport ships, they could all be accommodated.

“Let’s act quickly then. With their ship’s speed, it would only take four hours from the first defense line to the second…”

Zhao Yu was worried about sending ships to pick up people directly, so he suggested Colonel Chu personally take the ships back to Earth.

When Colonel Chu returned to Earth with tens of thousands of transport ships and hundreds of thousands of magnetic levitation cars, explaining their purpose, the world was shocked.

“There is a risk that Earth will be bombed, everyone needs to quickly evacuate to the ships within four hours…”

“Don’t bring anything, just board the ship individually, all supplies are guaranteed…”

On this day, all institutions, all websites, started looping this news indefinitely.

Tens of thousands of transport ships were distributed globally, according to population density. Local organizations gathered people, who were then brought on board in large numbers using light tweezer technology.

Most people believed this explanation and rushed to get on the ships first.

But some doubted, suspecting this was a conspiracy, either by aliens or by Blue Star’s elite, who wanted to deceive them and take their homes. They refused to leave.

Faced with this situation, the officials were helpless, but they couldn’t force everyone to leave..
