Annihilation of the solar system

Wei Xu and the others did not run to the square in front of the National Academy of Sciences building to stand in a neat square formation like they were doing in military training, but went directly to the underground garage. All people working in the Academy of Sciences, regardless of gender, position, as long as they are of age

People between the ages of 14 and 60 were all wearing armed belts, helmets, and trotting around the garage with automatic rifles.

They formed several columns at the exit of the garage, where several heavily armed soldiers were already waiting. One of the noncommissioned officers shouted loudly:

"Stand down and standby!"

Several columns paused almost at the same time. At the beginning of training in the past, people would look at each other and smile shyly, or joke with each other to help each other sort out their problems.

Fasten your equipment. Because for scientific researchers or senior leaders, such attire makes people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But after going through several trainings, whether they are teenage girls or elderly cadres, they will firmly obey the command of the sergeant chief. After putting on their helmets and picking up their rifles, they all have only one identity.

That's a warrior.

Wei Xu squatted by the wall, his eyes fixed on the fully-covered power mechas on the soldiers in front and the electromagnetic rifles in their hands. Some soldiers also had grenade launchers on their backs, and huge grenade chains leaked outside.

Shaking slightly.

"Let me tell you, Lao Wei, you run at the front of us every time. Do you want to earn a medal or something?" Wu Fan joked behind him.

Wei Xu arranged the wiring of the radio earbuds:

"Have you noticed that every major movement of extraterrestrial civilizations basically exceeds our imagination and expectations?"

"Isn't this normal? They are an advanced civilization, crossing the galaxy to come and cause trouble for us. Can this insect know what humans are thinking?" Wu Fan said.

Wei Xu looked at Wu Fan with interest and said:

"Then I, a human bug, am thinking. In our world, rushing forward may be the most dangerous thing. Maybe in other people's world, rushing forward is the safest."

Wei Xu's joking words made Wu Fan's smile froze. He knew in his heart that this big boy who was naturally optimistic and loved to joke was the same as everyone here. He didn't care about medals at all, but wanted to

Try your best to survive.

The rumble of cannons rang out, some as deep and distant as drums in the valley, and some as deafening as the firecrackers exploding behind them. They intertwined one after another and echoed among the tall buildings in the city.

A red fire net covered the sky over the city, and the clouds of bombs from the explosions of anti-aircraft shells covered the sky and spread out. At this time, even a fly passing over Jinghua City would immediately be shattered. At this time, the city

The militia anti-aircraft artillery group on the rooftop of the high-rise building began a drill.

"First echelon! Attack!" the sergeant shouted.

Dozens of people, including Wei Xu, rushed out of the garage under the leadership of two non-commissioned officers. When they came to the open space, the smell of burnt gunpowder filled the air.

In addition to Wei Xu's feeling that the sound of gunfire was more harsh, occasionally something like gravel would hit his helmet. This was the remains of a simulated anti-aircraft gun bomb that fell from the sky. It had no lethality, but it would make people's mouths full.

His face was covered in gunpowder residue.

Under the leadership of the sergeant major, they rushed to one position after another, tilting the bullets in the magazine at the objects preset there called "targets". Some of these targets were fixed targets, and some were moving targets.

For a tall and rough man like Wei Xu, shooting with an automatic rifle is naturally enjoyable. But for petite girls like Xia Lan and Liu Mengzhu, shooting with a gun is quite a challenge.

They tensed up the muscles of their whole bodies and held the rifle butts tightly on their shoulders. The powerful recoil made the flesh on their faces tremble violently under the flickering firelight, even though their eyes were often filled with tears from the gunpowder smoke escaping from the ejection window.

But their eyes were extremely firm, without a trace of concession or compromise.

The two-hour nationwide drill ended with the fading sound of gunfire. The buildings in the city were filled with faint smoke and a strong smell of gunpowder. An ambulance roared past the street in front of the Academy of Sciences.

"Someone was injured again during the exercise!" said a middle-aged woman in the crowd carrying a rifle.

"It is inevitable that as the intensity and density of drills increase, there will be more of this kind of thing." Another person said helplessly.

"Yeah, there's no way. Only if the training ground becomes more like a real battlefield, the more hope we can have to survive in future battles." The woman sighed as she watched the ambulance disappearing through the thin smoke screen on the street.

Wei Xu and the others returned to the office. Xia Lan and Liu Mengzhu were rubbing their wrists and shoulders. The continuous shooting made their bodies a little overwhelmed, but they did not complain at all. There were beads of sweat on everyone's forehead and the tip of their nose.

Wu Fan complained angrily:

"I shot blank rounds again today. It's not very powerful, but the sound is still loud. You can't practice marksmanship with these blank rounds. Just practice like this. When the enemy comes, if you switch to live ammunition, it might be of no use."

Wei Xu said half jokingly and half seriously:

"Just replace us with steel-core bullets, feed us bullets like sharpshooters, and train them all to become super marksmen. It may not be very effective. Now we don't know what our enemies look like. When the time comes, we will use machine guns to attack them and

If you hit them with a water gun, the effect may be about the same."

Wu Fan raised his eyebrows and sneered:

"Old Wei, I don't agree with your statement. Then why is the whole world struggling like this? I don't believe that the leading think tanks of EDA are not as thoughtful as you are!"

Wei Xu shook his head slightly, packed up the information on his desk and said nothing. Xia Lan on the side said:

"Wu Fan, Lao Wei doesn't mean that either. Combat skills are important, but training can prevent us from falling to the ground in fear when we are caught in a real battlefield where flesh and blood are everywhere.

However, the more important significance of universal armed forces is to make everyone become an organized and unified whole. When the doomsday war comes, we can have a basis for advancing and retreating, and will not be like a flock of sheep being chased by wolves, which can only run in all directions and collapse.

.”

"Hey! Look, you know why senior sister can be the team leader, but we can't! This awareness is different." Liu Mengzhu looked at Wu Fan with his eyes wide open and said.

Wu Fan scratched his head and said with a naive smile:

"I really didn't consider this aspect. From this point of view, what Lao Wei said makes sense."

Wei Xu did not take advantage of his power to make fun of Wu Fan as usual. He continued to clean his desk with a low gaze and whispered:

"Who knows what the future battlefield will be like."

Although the sound was not loud, everyone heard it clearly. Everyone returned to their work in silence, and no one spoke for a long time.

Xia Lan's phone ringing broke the silence. After she hung up the phone, she said anxiously:

"This is a call from Teacher Shen. The detector of the 'Windmill Project' is close to its target! Hurry up and check out the latest real-time return data on the eda scientific research platform."

Wei Xu was stunned:

"Senior sister, are you saying that a year or two ago, the 'Windmill' detector that was swung out in the near-Earth space with rotational acceleration like a discus was close to the broken ice belt?"

"Yes, that's the plan. At that time, Teacher Shen also organized us to participate in the design demonstration." Xia Lan replied.

"I can't believe it's really close to the broken ice zone! I remember that when it was launched, only one of the six detectors successfully entered orbit. We were all disappointed at the time and felt that the mission had basically failed." Liu Mengzhu

sighed.

Xia Lan opened eda's live broadcast platform on her computer, and the information was loading.

"I hope that the only remaining detector can peel back the veil of some alien civilizations for us."
