Chapter 239 The war begins
A week later, the first person to arrive in this airspace was the Forward Rover led by Ivan. When they arrived here, there was nothing left. There was neither the "meteorite" nor the Fengxiang Rover.
"Have you contacted Fengxiang number?"
Yifan turned around and asked, Zheng Jian shook his head. A week ago, they received the last message from Fengxiang. Fengxiang's message only said that they had arrived in the nearby airspace and positioned the target and would soon enter the range. Since this information, there has been no news from Fengxiang. Whether the headquarters of the Earth Space Fleet called Fengxiang many times, or the Forward and other fast-coming spacecraft sent communication information to Fengxiang, the result was that the stones sank to the sea.
Now, Yifan and the others have arrived here. If the equipment is not wrong, their current location is the coordinates of the last message sent by the Fengxiang number. As for the coordinates of the "meteorite" sent by the Gaia civilization, not far away, it is the coordinates of the "meteorite" placed by the Gaia civilization. But what disappoints everyone is that there is no trace of the Fengxiang number here, and the "meteorite" is also gone.
"Continue to call Fengxiang." Yifan ordered, and then added another command, which was to carefully search the airspace.
After Zheng Jian saluted, he immediately executed the order, turned his body back, looked up at the projection in front of him, and Ivan felt a little anxious.
Judging from the current situation, the Fengxiang may be in danger, but Yifan still had a hint of luck in his heart. After all, the last message sent by the Fengxiang did not show that the spacecraft that discovered the Gaia civilization was discovered. Perhaps something was wrong with the Fengxiang communication equipment, or that it temporarily left the airspace for other reasons.
Although I thought this in my heart, Ivan also knew very well that the possibility was very small. I had to see people and die and see corpses. Without knowing the whereabouts of the Fengxiang number, Ivan would never give up.
The continuous calls never responded. However, the detection equipment had evidence. The latest detector showed signs of curvature sailing nearby. Combined with the situation discovered on the way to this airspace, it can be proved that the Gaia civilization's spacecraft did recover the "meteorite".
So, what is the final result? Was the "meteorite" destroyed? What happened to the Fengxiang Unit? Why didn't the Fengxiang Unit send a final message to explain it? These questions lingered in Ivan's mind, and now he had no more solutions. He could only use a careful search of this airspace.
On the third day after the Armour arrived, the second spacecraft was Hephistos and Yasen. After four days, the Great Wall, Ares, Liberty Democracy, Prometheus, and War Horn followed one after another. On the fifth day, the remaining spacecraft that dispatched this mission also arrived one after another, including the Starry Sky, which Ivan was most familiar with.
Ivan, who is cautious in Lieutenant General, is currently the commander of the second fleet, and he is also the commander of the second fleet. According to the battlefield rules, Ivan commanded the 12 spacecrafts that arrived as the commander of the support fleet. Continue to search carefully in this airspace.
It was not until the ninth day that the search finally came out. The Liberty and Democracy sent a message and found a metal piece the size of a palm in space. When the amplified image was transmitted to the projection of the bridges of each ship through the equipment, the captains of each ship, including the commander Ivan, were all silent.
Yifan recognized the metal fragment at a glance because there was a line of incomplete letters on its surface, and this line of letters meant that it was once part of the Fengxiang. In other words, the Fengxiang had disintegrated, and a huge warship was destroyed in space. Only such a small piece of wreckage was left behind.
Perhaps there are more wreckages that have not been discovered, but considering that the wreckages were shot into space when the Fengxiang disintegrated, most of the wreckages had long been unknown where they flew to such a long time. This metal piece may not have achieved extremely high speed due to impact or some other reason, thus remaining in this airspace.
Looking at the wreckage in the projection quietly, Ivan's hands were tightly clamped, and his joints were even a little white. The result he was most worried about finally appeared. The Fengxiang must have been destroyed by the spacecraft of the Gaia civilization, and the wreckage in front of them also represents the sacrifice of all the officers and soldiers on the Fengxiang. This is the first victims of the Earth's space fleet since its establishment, and it also proves that the war has begun.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, Ivan continued to perform his duties as commander. He ordered the Liberal Democracy to send a small shuttle to recover the wreckage of the Fengxiang, and then informed the matter to the Earth Space Fleet headquarters. After obtaining permission from the Earth Headquarters, Ivan led the fleet to start returning.
"The Fengxiang is over..." At the headquarters of the Earth Space Fleet, General Mike Carson, Chief of Staff, told Lieutenant General Ji Jing bitterly that he had just received. After the Fengxiang lost contact, General Ji Jing had made the worst plan, and when the real result came, Lieutenant General Ji Jing's heart still sank.
"The message is confirmed?" Lieutenant General Ji Jing asked.
General Mike Carson nodded and sent the picture Ivan to Lieutenant General Ji Jing's terminal. When he saw the wreckage in the picture, Lieutenant General Ji Jing was silent.
This is enough to prove the ending of the Fengxiang. The latest battleship that has not yet been officially incorporated into the Earth Space Fleet disappeared. The most unfortunate thing is the 37 officers and soldiers on the Fengxiang. They are all valuable assets of the Earth Space Fleet, especially the captain Mark. This is a very good young man and also Lieutenant General Ji Jing's favorite general. Mark is the only one who can serve as the captain of the Fengxiang. It is because of Lieutenant General Ji Jing's strong recommendation. Who would have thought that this would be the result.
"Where is the Gaia detector?" Lieutenant General Ji Jing continued to ask, enduring the grief in his heart.
General Mike Carson shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe it was recycled, maybe the Fengxiang..." He sighed. Lieutenant General Ji Jing understood what General Mike Carson said in the next sentence, but they all knew that the possibility was very small, and the traces of the spacecraft of the Gaia civilization have been confirmed, which means that the "meteorite" may have been successfully recycled. At the same time as they were recycled, they also caused a fatal blow to the Fengxiang.
After sitting silently for a long time, Lieutenant General Ji Jing got up and walked towards the door. At this moment, his steps were no longer as loud as usual, but he seemed heavier. When he reached the door, he turned around and looked at General Mike Carson sitting in the chair.
"General! This is a war! I think this war has begun!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
