Chapter 63 The Arrest, The Post-War World Order

In space, an escape pod is speeding forward, its target being the moon, a satellite of Earth.

[Warning, warning, approaching your destination.]

The system's alarm woke the aliens inside the escape pod. Looking at the moon so close by, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The suit and multi-functional mining equipment he wears ensure that he doesn't have to worry about survival as long as he's on the planet.

As they got closer to the moon, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

From the escape pod window, one can clearly see many man-made structures near the landing point, indicating that this area has been developed by the native civilization of Earth.

However, there's no way to change the escape pod's course now; I can only leave it to fate.

[Warning! Warning! Approaching the ground]

As the system's notification sounds continued to ring, the escape pod drew closer and closer to the ground.

【Drip drip! 】

As the warning sound became more urgent, the escape pod began to decelerate from below, gradually landing on the lunar surface.

"Sizzle!"

As the hatch opened, the alien saw what was happening outside.

"Get out here immediately and put your hands behind your head!"

The Terminators standing around, weapons in hand, aimed directly at the creature inside the escape pod.

Seeing the robot soldiers standing guard outside, he simply stepped out and raised his hands.

Soon, the alien was taken to the base.

Upon receiving the news, Fang Heng also rushed here immediately.

"Ethan, is this the alien behind the Lizardmen? Why is he still covered in armor?"

"Commander, we did not have him remove his armor until we understood his survival conditions."

"Is there any danger?"

"No, the enemy's armor defense is not high; our attack can kill them."

"Have you understood the basic situation?"

"We understand. The other party is very cooperative. Here is his basic information."

"Let me see."

Fang Heng took the documents and examined them carefully.

The alien in front of us comes from an alien nation called the Celestial Council.

This is a civilization composed of multiple races, and the entire civilization operates under a federal parliamentary system. The alien in front of us is called Arom, according to the name given on Earth.

According to their civilization classification, our Blue Star belongs to a Level 1.0 civilization, while the Celestial Conference belongs to a Level 2.5 civilization.

"Ethan, according to their calculations, excluding Earth, what level of civilization would our technology qualify us as?"

"Commander, according to Arom's description, we belong to a near-Level 3 civilization."

"Oh? How is it calculated?"

"Commander, the enemy's civilization level is similar to that of Earth. Civilizations below Level 1 are considered planetary civilizations, capable of operating on this planet and its surrounding satellites."

Civilizations below level 2 can colonize other planets in this star system.

They are now a Type 2.5 civilization, and have made technological breakthroughs, enabling them to begin colonizing the surrounding star systems.

To this end, they devised an exploration plan, sending explorers to the surrounding star systems to carry out exploration missions.

However, Arom was unlucky; his exploration ship was struck by a meteorite and could only travel along with the meteorite swarm, eventually ending up here with us.

Upon hearing Ethan's words, Fang Heng looked at Arom across the glass, his lips twitching slightly.

What an unlucky guy.

"Can the other party's technological capabilities be assessed?"

"According to Arom's description, the Sky Council is not very powerful. In terms of technology, they have developed a warp drive, but its performance is not high and its cost is high. The fastest it can reach is only twice the speed of light."

"In terms of weaponry, it mainly consists of energy weapons like lasers. Kinetic weapons are all similar, as are electromagnetic cannons. For defense, there are electromagnetic deflection shields, but we haven't developed energy shields yet."

Their primary energy source is still nuclear fusion energy. Overall, the gap between them and us isn't that large. If we only have the Punisher, there would still be a significant danger in a confrontation.

"I understand. Did they say whether the Sky Council's fleet would arrive here?"

"We asked, but they didn't know either. However, they won't be able to come for at least the next 5 years."

"That's good news. Is all this information reliable?"

"It's not clear yet, because the other party is wearing armor, so we can't know if they are lying. However, according to interrogation methods, after creating a suitable environment, we are preparing to question them again."

If it's a lie, then there will definitely be discrepancies after further questioning.

"Okay, that's good. But we can't let our guard down. The previous combat readiness plan will continue to be implemented. We need to make sure we have enough strength at our disposal."

"Commander, the current starship dock is now complete, and the first batch of three escort ships will be completed in six months. The problem we need to solve now is that we don't have enough operators."

"Another six months?"

"Yes, Commander. The construction of the shipyard is progressing quickly, but regarding the frigates, with the continuous innovation of technology, the design of the blueprints has also been modified a lot, so it has only been finalized now."

"As for warships, let's build them according to the current design. Generally speaking, when a warship enters service, it means that the technology on that warship is outdated, which is unavoidable."

Despite numerous revisions to the blueprints, the final result was merely that they remained on paper, offering no real benefit to our increased strength.

"Yes, Commander, the relevant orders have been issued."

"And regarding personnel, why not just use clones?"

"As marines, enhanced clones are fine, but for the position of captain, these enhanced clones are not up to the task; natural talent is still needed."

"What about other positions? Shouldn't an enhanced clone be able to handle the execution role?"

"That's a good idea. According to Jiang Feng's research, if human enhancement agents are further developed, a new generation of enhanced clones could meet most of the job requirements."

"Okay, are there enough candidates from the Resident Evil and Terminator worlds?"

"After screening, 100 candidates for captain have been selected."

"100 seems like a lot, but it's still a bit few. Let's not talk about the Resident Evil world, but there's also an alien civilization in the Terminator world. They also need a large fleet there. Let's continue to increase our efforts in training talent."

"Yes, Commander."

"We cannot slack off on talent development in the main world. The battle has just ended, and there are still many things to deal with at Tokyo University and in the United States. This is our opportunity to seize the time to gain control. We need a sufficient population to support our development."

"Yes, Commander."

-----------------

A week later, with the last lizardman killed, there were no lizardmen left alive on the entire planet except for a few surviving ones inside the laboratory.

In the past week, the situation on Earth has also undergone tremendous changes.

First and foremost is the notebook.

With the Eight-Eight Fleet being completely wiped out by aliens in a joint operation, Japan's naval power plummeted, and the entire country began to be in turmoil, no longer daring to make pronouncements in international affairs.

These days, they wish no one would pay attention to them.

The Koreans, unusually, did not mock the Japanese in response.

In the past, these two would mock each other and compete to be the best son of the US.

But now, with the US naval forces in the Pacific region almost completely depleted, both of them have quieted down and dare not provoke any further trouble.

Meanwhile, Dongda University didn't have time to deal with these two. Of the three fleets, except for the North Sea Fleet which was still stationed on the mainland, the South Sea Fleet and the East Sea Fleet were all deployed as escort forces, continuously transporting personnel and supplies to the sea area where the underwater base was located.

Meanwhile, the Tiankun also arrived here and began land reclamation.

The University of Tokyo's significant move has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

However, looking at Luan Niao 1 in orbit above Blue Star, all the countries acted as if they didn't see it, completely ignoring the actions of the University of Tokyo, and dared not jump out to criticize the University of Tokyo, for fear of being held accountable by the University of Tokyo.

On board the Luan Bird No. 1, Lin Jianguo looked at the recently submitted data with a regretful expression.

"These guys are all very obedient now, they can't find any excuses."

Lin Jianguo was also quite angry at this moment. The appearance of Luan Niao No. 1 was quite high-profile.

However, it did not play a significant role in this operation; it failed to take down a single lizardman warship, essentially making a cameo appearance.

Of course, this was just what Lin Jianguo was thinking.

However, in the eyes of other countries, the US Navy was powerless against the Lizardmen's fleet, while the Dongda's Phoenix No. 1 could withstand it head-on. The difference in strength was obvious at a glance.

Among them, the Japanese understood the situation best. Their wolfish ambitions have never been extinguished, and deeply influenced by East Asian culture, they quickly grasped the current situation in East Asia.

The Luan Bird No. 1 is like a stabilizing force, and no demon or monster can withstand its power.

Even if the US rebuilds its Pacific Fleet, it will be unable to re-enter East Asia.

This area has become the de facto control area of ​​the University of Tokyo.

Just after the war ended this week, many countries launched state visits, wanting to go to the University of Tokyo.

However, not just anyone can come to the University of Tokyo. You didn't cherish the opportunity I gave you before, and now it's too late.

After learning about these things, Fang Heng took this opportunity to further expand his control. He directly controlled half of South Africa, with an actual population of over 20 million.

Fang Heng currently controls an area of ​​approximately 600,000 square kilometers and has a population of 20 million, which is not actually a high density.

However, he was not satisfied with the majority of the population here, so the replacement plan was proposed earlier, aiming to gradually utilize Chinese civilization to completely take control of this place.
