Chapter 1,286 Colonial War
"As of 2150, the population of Pan-Asian Cooperation on Mars has exceeded 500,000. And of these 500,000, almost 80% are native Martians." Lilith looked at Jiang Chen, He continued, "In their race to conquer Mars, all countries have overlooked one issue, and that is the colonial citizens' sense of identity with the 'sovereign country'."
"Many young Martians have never been to the Earth. They have only heard about things on the Earth from their grandparents, and they only know what the Earth is like through film and television works and images."
"Is there no Internet?" Jiang Chen asked doubtfully.
"It was a long time ago that Crane particles were discovered, and it was even more after the war that they were used for ultra-long-distance communication." At this point, Lilith turned her attention to Lin Ling, who was standing proudly at the moment. With small breasts.
Using the resonance effect to solve the Crane particle communication problem was Lin Ling's work.
After a pause, Lilith continued to speak in her calm tone.
"Before this, the communication method between the Mars colony and the earth mainly relied on electromagnetic waves. The average delay was as high as five minutes, and the maximum delay was even close to half an hour. It is equivalent to shouting on the phone here, and the other side has to wait for a long time. You can hear it. If there is any solar wind on the way, communication loss is common. Therefore, in order to ensure the effective transmission of information, Earth-fire communication usually has to say one sentence three times to ensure that the information is effectively transmitted."
"The information lag directly leads to information blockage. As time goes by, the cultural differences caused by information blockage become larger and larger, and this also lays the groundwork for future conflicts."
"The Houston Convention of 2150 was regarded as a wise decision by the citizens of various countries, but it was regarded as a shameful betrayal by most Martians, especially those colonies that were about to be included in the abolition list. Violence on a considerable scale almost invariably occurred. . Chaos. Although various countries have successively introduced transfer plans, it is obvious that they cannot make the colonies with a high degree of autonomy buy it."
"Almost the month after the signing of the Houston Convention, a total of fifty-nine Pan-Asian, NATO, and Soviet colonies jointly signed the twenty-second century version of the Declaration of Independence, announcing the establishment of the Mars Federation, and organized A group of militiamen staged a coup. With the support of some military officers, the rebels succeeded in taking control of all three space elevators on Mars, tying all the still-swaying colonies to their chariots."
"Don't they yearn for the earth?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Only people who have never been to a Mars colony would be confused like this," Lilith said expressionlessly. "According to the information in my database, the development level of the Mars colonies is not much inferior to that of cities on Earth. Moreover, With the construction of artificial biospheres, the landscape on Mars is not much worse than that on Earth.
As for industrial production capacity, I don’t have specific data to give you, but referring to the “2145 Pan-Asian Cooperation Steel Industry Development Overview Report” published by the Pan-Asian Academy of Social Sciences, the steel output of Pan-Asian’s Mars colonies accounts for 10% of the entire Twenty-seven percent of Pan-Asia's steel production is in a state of severe surplus. "
"...can the Mars colony be self-sufficient without being separated from the sovereign state?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Of course it cannot be self-sufficient. The reserves of helium 3 on Mars are extremely low. Once the nuclear fusion batteries imported from the moon are interrupted, all Mars colonies will be destroyed." After a pause, Lilith continued, "So, the Mars colonies are After achieving independence, he immediately declared war on the overlord country and sent a fleet to 'liberate' the moon."
"Fleet?" Jiang Chen was dumbfounded, "Where did the fleet come from?"
"Don't forget those three space elevators controlled by the rebels. Also controlled are the starships in the space port," Lilith looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Because there is no need for external combat, no one considers it at all. When we go to the Mars colony, we will fight for independence. At that time, the warships of various countries were temporarily pulled out of the 500,000-ton transport ship and modified. The modification method was very simple and crude, that is, to install as many electromagnetic guns as possible on the transport ship. "
"You just asked why you didn't hear any news about the Mars colony," Lilith looked at Lin Ling, "because since then, the news about the Mars colony has been blocked. As for the reason for the blockade, maybe it's because you don't want to admit the numbers. The failure of the Mars development strategy in the past ten years may also be due to other political considerations. In any case, the Pan-Asian Cooperation did implement a strict news blockade on news about the Mars colony after 2150. You didn’t hear that It’s normal, after all, there has been no news about the Mars colony for twenty years since before you were born.”
Lin Ling opened her mouth to express surprise.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and said in confusion.
"But what does this have to do with Gaia civilization?"
"This involves the highest-level secrets of Pan-Asian cooperation. Even I can't possibly know it," Lilith shrugged. "However, combined with the analysis of limited intelligence, it is not difficult for us to draw a conclusion that is close to the truth."
Holding out a finger, Lilith continued, "First, if Pan-Asian cooperation and the Soviet Union and NATO can successfully block the news, there must be a major premise, that is, the three-nation coalition must be in the suppression of the Mars Federation rebels. We won the war, and it was an epic victory.”
Jiang Chen nodded and agreed with her statement.
Not only was it an epic victory, the fleet of the Mars Federation was probably defeated by the fleet of the Three Kingdoms Alliance without even seeing the moon. Otherwise, if the war reaches our doorstep, it will be useless to block the news.
"Second," Lilith raised a second finger, "Since the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces suppressed the rebels in a short period of time, why was the news about the Mars colony blocked for twenty years, or even until another day? A world war broke out and the blockade was not lifted."
"Are you trying to say that the colonial war lasted for twenty years?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"Without the supply of nuclear fusion fuel from the moon, it would be difficult for the Mars Federation to persist for half a year." Lilith shook her head. "There is only one possibility that the news has been blocked, and that is that a major accident occurred on Mars that absolutely cannot be made public."
"For example?" Jiang Chen frowned slightly, he had vaguely realized something.
"For example, everyone in the colony is dead." Lilith said expressionlessly.
Lin Ling, who was sitting aside, suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"The possibility that these people died at the hands of the coalition fleet can be ruled out. After all, the purpose of each country is to suppress the rebellion and recover the fallen colonies, not to massacre civilians." Lilith continued, "We assume that this The War of Independence lasted for half a year."
"During the past six months, the rebels of the Mars Federation discovered the ruins of the Gaia civilization, and saw the hope of turning defeat into victory from the memory of the Gaia civilization. Then they obtained the key and began to excavate the ruins. Finally, they were on the way to excavate the ruins. , turned on the switch of a certain nightmare, and ultimately ruined everyone’s lives.”
"Devil bug?" Jiang Chen frowned and asked.
"To be precise, it should be Martian species. According to this conjecture, various countries have begun research on Martian species and Gaia civilization as early as 2152. There has been no movement in the latter. It seems that the ruins have been man-made damage. As for the former, progress is going quite smoothly. All I know is that the X1 bacterium was originally designed to remove radiation, but ended up becoming a deadly virus. Some of its DNA fragments came from radiation-resistant bacteria found on Mars."
After listening to Lilith's words, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
Could those alien species active on Gliese 581G have been brought there by the Brahma itself?
At least, part of it is.
