Chapter 1584
In the Kuiper Belt, the three starships kept thousands of kilometers apart and slowly drifted along the edge of the dense asteroid cluster. SS Enterprise, SS Judgment and SS Frontier were three starships in active service with the Earth Fleet.
Among them, the Enterprise was the flagship located at the center of the fleet’s triangular formation.The ship was equipped with 200 mass boosters, 20 rocket launchers, and more than 3,000 medium-range missiles with various types of warheads.
As for Judgment and Frontier, although the hull was the same configuration as that of Enterprise, with all three ships being million-ton Class Envoys, there were still large differences in weapon types and battlefield placements between the two ships.For example, in the center of the Judgment and the Frontier, a large mass booster extended from the front of the ship to the rear of the hull, and could be used to launch mass projectiles weighing several tons. It can also be used as a launch port for launcher spaceships.
Compared to the Enterprise, the Judgment and the Frontier have placed more emphasis on long-range firepower.The 20 missile launchers were replaced by four rows of torpedo launch bays. The 200 mass boosters were also modified into 50 short-range laser defenses on the ship’s upper hull.
With the flagship leading the formation, this seemed an odd idea, but it was a decision made after careful consideration.
A combat distance of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers at every step meant that close combat firepower of this magnitude was extremely weakened. Pretty much the flagship wouldn’t have had a chance to open fire at all before the two starships had completed suppressing long-range targets.
200 mass boosters and 20 missile launchers were prepared for enemies at medium range .If Harmonia decided to attack at close range and managed to break through the blockade of starships, torpedoes and heavy projectiles, only then would a medium-range defensive weapon come into play.
Only one was in service short-range defense starship, SS Enterprise. The projected Constitution-Class starship (five million tons) was the future flagship of the Earth Fleet, as well as an “aircraft carrier” and “mobile fortress” in the true sense of the word.

SS Frontier, Lounge Zone.
After a day of training, the team gathered here to play billiards, have a cup of coffee or lie in a massage chair and read a book to pass the time. The ship was equipped with a gravity device, and most of the Earth’s activities could also be carried out here.
In the eyes of others, this work was the best in the world, but only these people on the ship understood all the difficulties.
In a claustrophobic environment with a subtle sense of direction, the pressure on people’s psychological level was enormous. All of the doctors on the ship had qualified as psychologists before they even entered the job, specifically to deal with mental health issues.
“At the edge of the solar system, saluting the decisive battle half a century later… I suddenly realized that this profession is quite poetic.» Rosal, who leaned back in the massage chair, suddenly laughed as he leafed through the photographs in his hands.
The crews of the Earth Fleet consisted of the best representatives of each country. In the past two years, the fortress of Europe has been gradually destroyed, and one country after another joined the Earth Defense Alliance. For example, curly-haired Rosal was from the Italian Republican Navy.
“I’m afraid you won’t see that day,” Zhang Wei, who was sitting next to him, chuckled.
“That’s not necessarily true. Now I’m only in my thirties, and in half a century I’ll be 80 years old. Moreover, even if I really cannot see this day, my beautiful daughter will see this day for me,” said Rosal, drawing a cross in front of his chest. He seemed to be a devout believer.
“Don’t say things like that while on the spaceship, you’ll just jinx yourself.”

“Smooth? jinx it? I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about.Rosal was stunned and shook his head.
“…Are you really Italian?”
“Why do you ask?”
“This is the first time I see an Italian without a sense of humor,” said Zhang Wei, putting his hand to his face.
Rosal was about to protest when he heard when he heard that Zhang Wei said that he lacked a sense of humor, but at that moment, a red signal light suddenly turned on.
In an instant, everyone in the living room fell silent and stared at the signal light that went on without warning.
Of course, this kind of numbness lasted less than a second . The two people who were still playing pool immediately threw away the pool cue they were holding and rushed to the door. Zhang Wei was also not far behind. He jumped up from the sofa and ran out of the living room.
Rosal shoved the photos of his wife and daughter back into his inside pocket as he ran after Zhang Wei. The flashing lights in the corridor gave him an ominous feeling, but it wasn’t like something that had never happened before.
“Attack drill? But the exercises have just ended.
“I don’t know, don’t ask me…”
There was a hint of tension in Zhang Wei’s eyes, but behind that tension there was even a hint of excitement that surprised even him…

SS Enterprise, located thousands of kilometers away, was currently passing a normal preparation.
Lo Hong, captain of the Enterprise, was standing directly in front of the bridge. He stared intently at the holographic screen in the middle of the bridge.
Of the first group of students who graduated from Koro University Aerospace Military Academy, he was one of the most attractive. He once served as second-in-command on the first SS starship Seagull, after the formation of the Earth Defense Alliance, he was included in the Earth Fleet from Sky Trade. At that time, no one was optimistic about a fleet without a starship, and he was the only one who firmly believed that this fleet would do something in the future.
It was due to his perseverance and extraordinary talent in the field of fleet command that he was promoted to captain of the Enterprise two years ago, as well as commander-in-chief of the Earth Fleet.
The exercise was halfway to completion.
At that moment, the staff sitting right in front of him suddenly spoke.
“There is an irregularly active an asteroid with a speed of 600,000 kilometers per hour … It is approaching the Frontier.»
«Set the vigilance level to the second level. Launch Space Telescope Screen #4 and zoom in,” Lo Hong ordered. 2 was sent to an asteroid. With three successive zooms, a high-speed asteroid hidden in the Kuiper belt appeared right in front of everyone. Equipped with the latest space telescope, the Enterprise’s optical observation range exceeded 200 million kilometers.Radar was used to capture an anomalously moving celestial body, and then an optical observation device made a direct observation, which could even detect intertwined textures and dents on the target. situations like this happened from time to time, so Luo Hong didn’t take it too seriously.
However, just as he was about to announce that the alarm had been disabled, he suddenly discovered an unnatural anomaly in the corner of the screen.
To make sure he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Behind the enlarged image of the asteroid.
A thin thread pulsed slowing down…
An ominous feeling stirred in his heart.The moment he confirmed that he was not mistaken, Luo Hong’s pupils suddenly narrowed, his hands slammed on the table, his eyes still glued to the holographic screen.
“LENS TO THE RIGHT ! ZOOM UP! HIGHEST ZOOM!”
“GET YOU!”
The image was focused on the abnormal spot.
Unnatural filament has been increased.
As soon as the image appeared on the screen, cold sweat rolled off Lo Hong’s forehead.
It was an undisguised tentacle…
He could even make out the diamond pattern on it…
