    Chapter 15 The magnetic storm is coming()

    The task force does not belong to the regular army of the Republic of Charno. It was temporarily formed to establish a forward base to station on the Annoki planet and realize the "Paradise" plan. It has a total of more than 2,000 large and small interstellar battleships and about 500,000 combat personnel.  There are 100,000 combat personnel and 12,000 researchers from the Academy of Sciences accompanying the army.

    At this time, following the order from the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Lieutenant General Bu Yun, the task force carried out a comprehensive airborne landing operation on the Annoki planet in order to avoid the super strong magnetic storm that would erupt immediately on the Annoki sun.

    Viewed from the ground, the entire Anokhi sky is almost covered by a huge fleet group. The huge roar of the fleet passing through the atmosphere resounds between heaven and earth. The blue flames ejected by the ion thrusters of the battleships interact with the oxygen in the atmosphere.  A dazzling light flashed out, almost covering up the brilliance of the sun.

    The Anokhi creatures on the ground felt the apocalyptic scene and fled in all directions on the gentle Anoki grassland.  The huge body of the battleship streaked across the sky, causing turbulence in the atmospheric airflow to form an artificial storm throughout the landing area. The wild airflow rolled up weeds and the remains of low shrubs and flew everywhere in the air.

    The landing of the entire fleet lasted for about eight full Earth hours. The 30 square kilometers of the landing area were filled with various types of warships of different heights, like towering steel fortresses.

    After landing safely, pairs of fully armed soldiers slowly walked out of various warships, each taking over their own defensive areas in an orderly manner.  Densely packed engineering mechas built various defenses around the entire landing area.

    At this time, it can be seen from the surveillance screen of the Academy of Sciences that a huge solar flare has formed, and coronal matter containing huge energy may be ejected at any time.  Engineers on the ground must build ground defenses to protect the fleet as soon as possible, otherwise the various mechas in their hands will soon become a pile of scrap metal once a magnetic storm occurs.

    At the First Division station 3,000 kilometers away from the landing site of the task force, the original 3-meter-high reinforced metal wall outside the ground base was raised to 5 meters. The engineers built a new one outside this metal wall.  Defensive metal walls serve as the first line of defense for ground bases.  Busy logistics transport vehicles are busy transporting combat supplies to various defense fortifications before they are destroyed by the magnetic storm. Now try to send as much as possible. After the magnetic storm hits, everyone will have to use people to carry them up.

    Yi Lexiang and his soldiers nervously disassembled the energy source of the weapons in the warehouse. The few engineers and maintenance soldiers in the regiment were transferred to the hangar by the division headquarters to disassemble the fighter planes. They could only do it themselves.  Dispose of these weapons.

    Both the task force base camp and the soldiers of the first division were busy working hard for their own survival. Eighteen hours later, the unmanned solar observation ship of the Academy of Sciences lost its signal, and the Anpiao astronomy system was paralyzed. Thirteen orbiting satellites  Annoki's satellites were all destroyed by a magnetic storm.

    It was the night time of Annuoji. Yi Lexiang lay on the grass outside the barracks with a relaxed look on his face, looking up at the night sky where the red, white and yellow moon of Annuoji reflected each other.  The flow of charged particles carried by the electromagnetic storm interacts with the magnetic field of the planet Anoki, and shines in the night sky, sometimes like a ribbon, sometimes like a flame, colorful and unpredictable.

    The roar of the mechas in the camp suddenly fell silent. Perhaps the electronic circuits had been burned out by the magnetic storm.  The soldiers gathered together in twos and threes and looked up at the dazzling aurora in the night sky, which was constantly changing and intoxicated.

    Yi Lexiang closed his eyes slightly, quietly experiencing a rare trace of tranquility.  The ancient and mysterious universe contains too many unknowns for young human beings. It was only when I inherited Mxer's boundless spiritual power that I discovered the insignificance of human beings.

    The advanced intelligent life in the universe has taken countless steps on the road of evolution, but human beings are still limited to their own small world and constantly fighting for their own selfish desires.  When Mxer resolutely gave up his self-awareness and merged with himself, a life form that he considered weak and primitive, for the sake of the inheritance of his civilization, humans continued to destroy their fragile civilization through their own wars.

    Alas, I sighed softly in my heart. I am just an insignificant little soldier. I can leave these profound and difficult problems to those high and mighty figures to figure out solutions.  The first priority now is to save his own life. At dawn tomorrow, crazy protozoa may attack the base. Now he needs to have a good sleep and maintain sufficient physical strength.  Standing up, Yi Lexiang called to the soldiers who were still looking at the sky blankly, "Let's go, go back to sleep. There may be a tough battle waiting for us tomorrow!"

    The magnetic storm lasted for three full days, and white flashes caused by a stream of charged particles traveling through the sky could even be seen during the day.  The intensity of the magnetic storm far exceeded the predictions of the Academy of Sciences.??Almost all equipment related to electricity was destroyed.  The First Division also completely lost contact with the base camp and became an isolated island.

    Fortunately, there was no movement of the native creatures. The division's direct reconnaissance team even penetrated 300 kilometers into the forest and still found nothing.  The originally active native organisms in the forest disappeared at this moment, and the chaotic and noisy forest became silent.  Everyone is waiting quietly, knowing very well that this may just be the calm before the storm.  The paralysis of the Skynet system left the commanders accustomed to high-tech operations at a loss, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire camp.

    Yi Lexiang is perhaps the most relaxed and busiest person in the entire camp.  With nothing to do, he abandoned his soldiers and wandered around the camp all day.  Ever since he tasted the benefits of the mental network in the fighting arena, he now always wanders around the camp aimlessly.  There is no way now that the mental power net can only cover a distance of about a hundred meters. Yi Lexiang can only absorb more mental power by walking around.  He can be seen everywhere in the logistics department, maintenance department, medical team and other fraternal units' stations, and he has to avoid the gendarmerie of the division headquarters on the way.

    The Military Police had long heard that there was a small platoon leader from the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Regiment who was wandering around the base in violation of military orders. However, this guy was as slippery as a fish. Several rounds of roundups specifically targeting this person inexplicably allowed him to escape.  .  Yi Lexiang's mental power network covering a range of 100 meters is not a vegetarian, so how can they catch it.  Anyway, all the surveillance systems were destroyed by the magnetic storm, as long as they were not caught on the spot by the gendarmerie.  In the eyes of others, hanging around is crucial for Yi Lexiang to improve his own strength. In order to save his life, he no longer cares about military discipline.
