LRAB Chapter 300: Standby
Chapter 300: Standby
Platinum and Ophia led the commanders into the flagship, while more than 30 ship designers boarded the helicopters in an orderly fashion to return to base.
She didn't speak until just before Ouyang Nian boarded the plane, after a long silence.
"...came back alive."
Lorraine reached out and hugged Ouyang Nian.
"must."
"it is good."
Ouyang Nian raised his head, tiptoed slightly, and leaned close to Luo Lin's face, leaving a mark.
"I'm gone."
Lorraine stood on the aft deck and watched as Ouyang Nian's helicopter returned to the base below.
As Lorraine entered the cockpit, preparing to announce the flagship's departure, Ouyang Nian and Lin Shu's voices rang out on the communication channel.
Ouyang Nian's voice, full of lofty aspirations, rang out first.
"We will go forth to defend against a powerful enemy and ensure the safety of our land."
Lin Shu's gentle voice followed closely behind.
May you be victorious in every battle and return home in peace and glory.
Lorraine stood up and connected the microphone built into the power armor to the overall communication channel.
"Faced with a formidable foe, we are fearless and undaunted."
Immediately afterwards, the roars of all the commanders and soldiers resounded through the sky.
"Armor forged in blood, blade forged in will!"
"Where the sword points, nothing can stand in its way!"
"Even facing a formidable enemy, we vow to conquer Loulan and achieve a triumphant return!"
"salute!"
Commanders and soldiers at the Red Peak Island base and the Stonehenge base simultaneously stood up, raised their arms sharply, and solemnly saluted in the direction of the flagship.
"Let's march!"
With Lorraine's command, the thrusters spewed out azure flames, propelling the fleet rapidly upwards into the dark blue sky.
All the commanders and soldiers came to the open ground and watched the meteors shooting backwards across the sky.
At 18:32, after ten hours of full-speed flight, the fleet finally arrived at the rendezvous point 50 kilometers away from Earth.
"Tsk, without a faster-than-light engine, we can't fight this group of alien creatures in the asteroid belt."
Due to the limitations of their ships, Lorraine and his crew had no choice but to set up their defenses in space between the Moon and Mars.
Upon reaching the rendezvous point, all 42 officers from the 13 warships met on the flagship. After a brief operational meeting, everyone returned to their respective ships.
At this time, the officer configuration of each ship is as follows:
Three assault ships, each with a captain.
Two reconnaissance ships, each with only one captain.
Two improved frigates, each equipped with a captain and a weapons officer.
The two heavy frigates are each equipped with a captain, a deputy captain, and a weapons officer; the 1004 ship, as the flagship of the assault fleet, will be additionally equipped with an operations staff officer.
Two destroyers, each equipped with a captain, a first officer, and a weapons officer. Although the number of officers remains the same, the computing power of the intelligent programs they are equipped with is more powerful.
The Bifang space carrier carries five officers: the captain, the deputy captain, the operations staff officer, and two flight control personnel. The operations staff officer also performs some of the duties of a weapons officer.
The flagship carried the most personnel: Lorraine as captain, Olivia as fleet chief of staff and vice-captain of the flagship, twelve officers from the combat information center, and Platinum as commander of the elite squad.

【1.一艘硅基生物母舰将会降落在坐标：-6.096860，141.196289处，负责回收周边区域硅基生物採集的矿物。降临倒计时：3天4小时21分钟。】
[2. A ship belonging to a mining bug is approaching Earth and is expected to arrive in Earth's synchronous orbit in 40 days, 7 hours, and 39 minutes.]
[3. The base area of the orbital elevator has been discovered. Silicon-based organisms and mining worms are gathering their forces, preparing to launch a devastating attack. Countdown: 72 days, 18 hours, and 21 minutes.]
4. The asteroid belt is currently empty, with no races existing there. Void period: 90 days - ∞
Over the next 72 hours, two space transport ships, converted from transport ships within the atmosphere, shuttled back and forth between the fleet and Earth, frantically transporting supplies such as fixed weapons and spare combat equipment.
[Countdown to the arrival of the silicon-based bio-mothership at the defense line: 12 hours and 42 minutes]
The previously launched deep-space satellites are now active, and these deep-space observation satellites, deployed in Mars orbit, are searching for enemy warships in deep space using the purest optical observation mode.
Beyond Mars' orbit, there is another group of wandering satellites in space, scanning deep space with high-precision radar.
These wandering satellites are larger than deep-space satellites, and they also contain some little-known "tools".
[Countdown to the arrival of the silicon-based bio-mothership at the defense line: 7 hours and 34 minutes]
"The last batch of supplies has arrived, and our two warships will be docked in lunar orbit, ready to provide support at any time."
"grateful."
Lorraine saluted the officer on the other end of the video call, then urged the two transport ships belonging to the logistics unit to leave quickly.
Under the flagship's energy detection radar, only extremely faint energy fluctuations could be detected in the space not far away.
After confirming the transport ship's departure, Lorraine activated the last set of drones used for pre-battle communication.
"Everyone, this is the last break, which will last 4 hours."
Immediately afterwards, these drones were launched by the flagship's electromagnetic catapult track and flew toward the various ships.
Once the drones arrived at each ship, all commanders and soldiers switched the ship's AI to alert mode and activated the fixed defense weapons around the ships.
Then all the officers and soldiers entered the hibernation pods.
[Set time: 4 hours. Deep hibernation begins.]
As all personnel entered their hibernation pods, Cleveland remotely controlled all weapons and ships via a quantum communication system, monitoring every move in deep space in real time.
With only 23 minutes remaining before the hibernation ended, a small ship suddenly appeared within the range of fixed weapons and approached at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.
The dimensions of the ship were quickly collected.
Cleveland looked at the nearly 100-meter-long ship, which had no obvious weapons, and began to calculate the threat it posed to Earth.
After the calculations were completed, Cleveland used the quantum communication system to inform the base of the ship's information, allowing Stonehenge to prepare.
Upon receiving the information, the WF01 upgraded unmanned combat aerial vehicle squadron on the ground quickly re-equipped itself with air-to-air munitions and flight backpacks.
When Lorraine emerged from the hibernation pod, the small warship had already left the minefield and was speeding towards Blue Star.
All commanders and soldiers quickly took their positions, resumed combat readiness, and stared intently into deep space, awaiting the arrival of the enemy warships.
Time ticked by, and everyone waited anxiously for the enemy warships to arrive.
The moment the countdown reached zero, the enemy warship appeared within the radar detection range.
