I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

August 26, 3020 AD.

A large space transport ship capable of carrying 50,000 people takes off from Mount Everest Space Center, 1,100 kilometers away from the Black Bear Training Base, heading to the traffic hub space station slowly orbiting in the far-Earth space orbit.

On this spaceship, in addition to nearly 10,000 new soldiers from the Black Bear Training Base, there are also nearly 40,000 new soldiers from six other large bases.

After arriving at the hub station, these 50,000 new soldiers will join millions of other new soldiers from around the world, gathering here before boarding thousands of medium and small transport ships to go to the fleets orbiting the sun at multiple different levels.

At present, there are nearly a million ships with different fleets, totaling tens of millions of ships with different specifications.

After using up almost all the metals, semiconductors, rare metals, and various elements in the solar system, humans have built tens of millions of different types of warships.

Each fleet varies in size.

The Giant Wave Vertical Team, a large main battle fleet, has thousands of warships with different models.

Battleships that can carry Bee Swarm Fighters, command flagship, main battle cruisers, destroyer escorts, assault battlecruisers…

Other lower-level fleets range from a dozen to over a hundred ships.

These million ships are not stationed together.

These ships are in the form of Corps, distributed in the solar system in different orbital layers, forming a total of three twelve fleet defense lines.

The Uranus First Zone Corps, where the Giant Wave Vertical Team is located, is stationed outside the Uranus Orbit.

“Do you see that cluster of starlight? That’s the Mars Second Zone Corps, with 5 million spaceships and hundreds of millions of soldiers. That faint light over there is the Uranus Third Zone Corps, similar in strength to our First Zone Corps, with 7 million spaceships and 1 billion soldiers.”

“At present, all warships in the military have just completed their installation of new attack and defense modules two years ago. Nearly half of the 30 billion humans are soldiers! Humanity’s military strength has reached an unprecedented peak.”

“How about it? I see that you haven’t been very confident in this war, are you feeling a little better now?”

In the command cabin, Nora Camp said to Harrison Clark with a smile.

Looking at the starry human fleet, Harrison couldn’t deny that he was a bit excited.

He was working hard himself.

Humans never gave up either.

Billions of comrades.

How could one say they had no clothes?

After 500 years of development, or even relentless military efforts, humans have made too much preparation for the day of the decisive battle.

Harrison Clark had not been into space before and had not investigated the current military strength due to his pessimism in stages. It was not until now that he saw with his own eyes that he could experience the silent determination from the twinkling glimmers.

He chuckled, “It’s a little better, I hope we can win in one fight.”

“Of course, it’s just a pity that Martha Owen and Dr. Matilda haven’t succeeded. Otherwise, our odds of winning would be increased.”

Nora Camp sighed.

Harrison was not on the large transport ship.

Half an hour before the large transport ship took off, he boarded Nora Camp’s dedicated high-speed shuttle with dozens of other new soldiers from Black Bear Training Base, heading straight to the outside of Uranus.

At this moment, other new soldiers are in the narrow and crowded transfer machine compartments, their bodies tightly bound by safety belts.

However, Harrison sits side by side with Nora Camp in the spacious command cabin, talking about life and pointing at the stars.

The speed of the high-speed shuttle is much faster than ordinary transport ships, quickly catching up and overtaking a medium-sized transport ship ahead.

Harrison looked at the thousands of kilometers long blue tail flame of the transport ship, feeling a lot of emotions.

After another leap in human technology, current aerospace technology has reached heights that Harrison had never seen before.

Although the main propulsion method of spacecraft is still medium propulsion technology, which seems essentially the same as a thousand years ago, there are fundamental differences.

The blue tail flame is not a real flame, but a high-speed plasma flow with astonishing kinetic and thermal energy.

At the moment when the plasma is ejected from the nozzle, it will be accelerated to a speed close to the speed of light.

According to the most core law of conservation of momentum, these near-light speed plasma flows provide huge kinetic energy for the warships.

Each ion with mass can easily speed up a huge warship.

This was impossible before.

The long tail flame seems astonishing, but in fact, the material consumption per hour is less than 100 grams. The total material consumed to reach Pluto is less than 1000 grams.

Moreover, the material of this medium does not need to be specific. Just collect a meteorite, a piece of space debris, or strip off an old seat and throw it into the atom reformer, and it can be transformed into usable plasma liquid.

The main energy source for spacecraft engines is still electrical energy.

Directional movement of a large number of electrons is still the most efficient and widely used means of energy transfer in human history.

But humans have fundamentally changed the way they obtain electrical energy.

Inside the solar system, Dyson membranes with space biological characteristics convert solar energy into electrical energy and condense it into large, detachable biological batteries.

These biological batteries with astonishing energy are transformed into intermediate carriers, i.e., fusion battery packs, through a series of transformations, and ultimately transfer energy to various mechanical units that need power supply..
