Chapter 1259: Chapter 1137 Space War!_1 Chapter 1259: Chapter 1137 Space War!_1 Qi Ye quickly boarded the elevator, joining the other soldiers responding to the mobilization call at the spaceport.
The spaceport was far larger than the Ark Space Station, and by appearances, it was still being expanded.
Unfortunately, Qi Ye had no time to tour around.
As soon as they stepped off the elevator, waiting personnel hustled them onto a vehicle, rushing them towards the docking berth of the Kunlun ship.
The Kunlun ship had initially been undergoing repairs, but the sudden arrival of the aggressive alien fleet meant all hands were needed on deck, including those aboard all the warships.
— In humanity’s contingency plans, there was no consideration of interstellar warfare and the interstellar fleet was not meant to combat aliens.
There were only thirty-eight true “warships,” and now, all of them had been mobilized.
Not only that; transport and support ships were being hastily armed and filled with troops, ready to bolster their ranks.
The entire spaceport was mobilized, all defense measures prepared and ready to fire at a moment’s notice.
The firepower of the spaceport itself was more formidable than that of all the warships combined.
Its inherent vulnerability made it far from suitable for positional warfare, but the command center was prepared to fight a battle of do-or-die.
— The sudden appearance of an alien fleet in front of them, without the capacity for interstellar navigation, made it abundantly clear that there was a technological gap between the two sides.
The commanders of the space force would have realized it already.
Amid the continuous blaring of alarms, everyone was on the move, performing their tasks as quickly as possible.

Simultaneously, the command center was repeatedly sending signals to the alien fleet, hoping to establish channels of communication.
Regrettably, all efforts at establishing communication fell on deaf ears.
Moreover, they ruthlessly destroyed the early warning satellite in Mars’ orbit.
At this point, they were left with no choice but to battle.
The fleet embarked on its mission.
Qi Ye was fully armed, yet utterly lost.
The size of the Kunlun ship, about 300 meters long, was not particularly large compared to other warships of the Space Age; it was roughly the size of an aircraft carrier.
But for an untrained individual thrown into an aircraft carrier, it would take considerable effort to understand its layout; let alone being thrown into an interstellar warship.
Qi Ye ran up and down several decks of the Kunlun ship before finally finding the gun position on the side of the ship.
While it’s referred to as a gun position, it was more like a fighter jet equipped with a large electromagnetic gun, which could freely fly around the warship, adjusting its angle, under the gunner’s control.
However, it could not venture too far, as that would exceed the warship’s wireless charging range.
“So it’s a floating gun, huh?” Qi Ye couldn’t help but comment.
The whole concept of wireless charging seemed a bit extreme, the idea of providing power to hundreds or even thousands of erratically flying electromagnetic guns.
How would the power supply even work?
“No wonder they could build a space elevator…
So they’ve achieved energy freedom, huh?”
“Little brother, seems like your luck isn’t too great,” said a familiar voice.
The face of Big-bearded Oleg, whom Qi Ye had met at the space elevator earlier, suddenly popped up on the control panel display.
It also displayed Oleg’s location—right next to Qi Ye’s “floating gun”.
“What do you mean by that?” Qi Ye asked, confused.
“You’ve just arrived and already you’re faced with an alien war.
Who knows if we’ll make it back alive.
Your luck couldn’t get any worse,” explained Oleg.

“If that’s the case, doesn’t that make you just as unlucky?” Qi Ye retorted.
“Ton ton ton….Ha!
Not really.
I’ve been training most of my life, and if I retired without a fight, it would have been a waste.
For me, there’s no better ending than dying on the battlefield before retirement!”
“…Then why are you drinking?
Aren’t you afraid your hand will shake and you’ll miss your target?”
“Ha ha ha” laughed Oleg heartily, “Might as well finish the booze before we die!”
“You might want to record any last words you have now,” Oleg advised.
Couldn’t you hope for the best for me?” Qi Ye muttered.
“Ha ha ha…..” Oleg laughed again, “Alright, Alright, you’ll definitely make it out alive.”
By his tone, Qi Ye could tell Oleg didn’t believe what he was saying.
Qi Ye quickly realized what was going on: “Do you know something that I don’t?”
Oleg’s laughter quickly died down.
After chugging down another mouthful of alcohol, he gruffly said: “Communication with Victory has been lost.
They’ve likely suffered heavy casualties.”
Qi Ye instinctively looked into the depth of space, but of course, saw nothing.
He didn’t even look in the right direction; Mars wasn’t there…
The broadcast sounded, and the Kunlun ship slowly left the spaceport, speeding towards the rendezvous point with the warships.
The rendezvous point was still within the Earth-Moon system.
Within ten minutes, the rendezvous was completed–of course, the rendezvous point was not a real “point,” but a large space area very far from each ship about ten thousand kilometers apart.
We are in the Space Age – tight formation tactics are long obsolete.
During these ten short minutes of flight, Qi Ye was busy familiarizing himself with the various operations of the floating gun.
Either Cloud Dream had simplified the operation for this eventuality, or unskilled soldiers in the game’s setting didn’t need extensive expertise.
With the help of various automation systems, operating the “floating gun” was almost as easy as driving a car, more straightforward than controlling a helicopter rudder.
As for the firing, that was idiot-proof; visual aiming was obsolete.
All that was required was to fire at the radar target.
