The red light outside the window of the Space Force Combat Command Center still appears and disappears regularly. The progress bar at the top of the large screen representing the estimated number of spore groups and ice fragments is still full, and the number behind it is fixed at 97% and never jumps again.

.

Chai Shizheng felt like a patient with a high fever. His mind was churning violently but he didn't have a clue. He didn't even have the strength to clench his hands. The staff and technical officers stared at the screen with their eyes almost falling out of their sockets.

, they gritted their teeth and watched as the wide laser beam swept through the torrent of spores and broken ice in the thermal imaging screen again and again, but could not even scrape off any skin.

"Order the lunar laser defense system to stop irradiation." Chai Shizheng's order was full of helplessness and a deep sense of powerlessness.

"General..." The staff officer looked at Chai Shizheng in astonishment, then his expression gradually became lonely, and finally conveyed the order. Everyone in the command center realized a cruel fact.

Continuing to waste precious lunar energy on using high-energy lasers to illuminate the torrent will do nothing except add some ionized colorful clouds to the dense clouds covering half the sky.

The technical officers sat slumped in front of the operating table, and the staff members stood there at a loss. Chai Shizheng calmed down, knowing that the battle was not over yet, and he still held countless living lives in his hands:

"Order all combat units of the Space Force in low-Earth orbit to immediately evacuate to the star port at Lagrange point 12 to be on standby. All personnel on the small space station that cannot be transferred immediately take the shuttle back to the ground!"

This order means that the Space Force has to abandon the last link of the original space defense plan - low-Earth orbit interception. After the staff conveyed the order, the command center quickly sounded the voice prompt:

"Report! The Commander of the 38th Space Army requests to speak with you."

Chai Shizheng nodded slowly, and the commander of the group army wearing a combat space suit and sitting at the low-Earth orbit command station appeared on the screen. His face turned red and he spoke excitedly:

"General Chai! All combat ships are determined to die. Even if the space turrets and laser arrays fail to complete the planned kill ratio, I assure you that we can still destroy those aliens in low-Earth orbit.

Skin!"

Chai Shizheng just said four words solemnly:

"Execute the order."

The commander of the group army argued with anger:

"Just let us go! If we don't go up at this time, by the time they complete the orbital airborne landing, we won't have a chance even if we risk our lives!"

Chai Shizheng's face flashed with anger and he said sharply:

"Can you judge the enemy's next intention? Do you know whether they will directly carry out an orbital airborne landing or stay in low-Earth orbit? Now you are rushing towards the enemy and annihilating the entire army. Is this considered heroic or stupid? When you are needed.

, just risk your life for me! Now, execute the order immediately!"

The commander of the group army stared at Chai Shizheng with a blushing face. Finally, he sighed heavily and turned off the video call.

The combat spaceships that had formed an echelon in low-Earth orbit began to turn in an orderly manner, and the shuttles on most of the spaceships without the ability to change orbits were separating. The majestic colorful clouds stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers were still overwhelming.

Locally approaching the Earth.

"Activate the backup command center, and everyone is preparing to evacuate." After saying that, Chai Shizheng looked at Xia Lan again.

"Dr. Xia Lan, you should evacuate too. Soon, it won't be safe here."

After the staff and technical officers started the command transfer process, they began to prepare for evacuation. Chai Shizheng calmly sat on the chair, pulled out the gun from his waist and flipped the safety.

"General, what are you doing?" A staff officer noticed Chai Shizheng's behavior.

"You execute the order and evacuate to the backup command center. I will complete the command here." Chai Shizheng said lightly, but every word was very important.

Just as the staff members were about to persuade each other, Xia Lan screamed out the window:

"Look!"

It was midnight at this time, but the sky was already bright. The drifting clouds from the next day did not continue to expand, but the brightness was much higher than before. Layers of halo clouds clustered in the sky, like a mottled sky.

The suspended ceiling hung in the sky. While everyone was stunned, circles of seven-color rainbows appeared on the edge of the flowing clouds!

The rainbow floating on the edge of the clouds in the sky slowly squirms with the thick clouds, as if printed on wrinkled kraft paper. The area of ​​the rainbow is still slowly expanding in the clouds, and it seems to be half full.

The sky is the limit.

"What...what's wrong with the sky? This is too..." A staff officer was stunned.

He wanted to say a word of praise, because this colorful rainbow that covered the sky was really fascinating. But he understood that behind the floating clouds were cruel laws and regulations, and laws and regulations did not need praise.

"This should be ice crystals condensed by transpiration of water vapor. The sunlight floating in the space is refracted and reflected on the clouds to form a rainbow," Xia Lan said.

The sight of this evergreen glass also attracted the soldiers on duty in the surrounding buildings and roads to stop and watch, but no one uttered a word of exclamation. People just stared blankly at this gorgeous letter of war from an alien civilization.

"Look over there!" Someone shouted from the rooftop of an unknown building.

Xia Lan and the officers immediately looked up and searched, and sure enough they found something strange in the midst of the colorful clouds. A light blue band of light penetrated through the clouds like a mountain waterfall piercing the clouds. Although it was still far away

It has a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, but it looks like it is pouring straight towards the earth.

Xia Lan turned around and took a few strides to come to the computer. She used the EDA scientific research platform to remotely control the Capital Observatory's near-Earth object telescope and aimed at this light belt.

"Is it the spore cluster and broken ice belt?" Chai Shizheng, who followed, asked.

"Judging from the telescope observations, no. It should be that a small part of the broken ice has accelerated away from the torrent, and the spore group and the main body of the broken ice belt are still wrapped in dense clouds." Xia Lan replied.

"Where are they going? I mean what is their orbital path?" Chai Shizheng asked again.

"The orbital analysis is in progress. Now they are still accelerating away from the broken ice belt and the main body of the spore group. We will have to wait for a while."

The atmosphere became tense, and the staff officer asked in fear:

"Are they going to hit the ground directly? Do we need to sound an alarm?"

Xia Lan shook her head slightly:

"It seems unlikely. They are still single pieces of ice the size of a truck. This size cannot pass through the atmosphere."

The rainbow and glazed clouds that occupied half of the sky were gradually shrinking in size, and the light strips coming out of them also began to become gradually thinner. Xia Lan turned her head and looked at Chai Shizheng in panic:

"The orbit prediction shows that they will enter the earth's low-Earth orbit. Then after being accelerated by the gravitational slingshot effect, they will fly to the moon!"

The staff officer was shocked:

"The moon has no atmosphere! These ice cubes can hit the moon's surface directly!"
