The strategic deterrence of the aerospace aircraft carrier + the violent aesthetics of the Mecha God of War
Story summary:
In 2157 AD, the Earth Federation implemented the "Starlink Project" in the name of building aerospace defense, but in fact it monopolized resources. Wang Tianlong, the commander of the Tianlong Squadron of the Earth Federation's seventh air and space fleet, was framed as a treason because he refused to carry out the order to massacre civilians. The team was disbanded and he was assigned to the "garbage dump" on the dark side of the moon as a guard.
Ten years later, the federal government was in financial crisis and the demolition office moved to the dark side of the moon. Zhao Wuji, the son of a federal dignitary and the current deputy captain of the aerospace aircraft carrier "Siege Sun", only offered "eight hundred tons of inferior helium-3" as compensation, and wanted to forcibly demolish the veterans' settlement area guarded by Wang Tianlong. He humiliated him: "The lives of you veterans are not even worth the calibration fee of a laser cannon on our aircraft carrier."
Wang Tianlong smiled as he watched the disabled veterans who had fought for the country be driven away and the tombstones of his comrades in arms were toppled. He tore open his tattered military uniform, revealing an old wound on his chest that was deep enough to see the bones - it was left when he saved Zhao Wuji's father.
"Who said it was destiny? I was able to conquer the starry sky back then, but today I can dismantle your aircraft carrier!"
That night, radar on the dark side of the moon was completely blind. A "motley army" composed of retired veterans, wearing smart-wearing exoskeletons, controlling sealed invisible smart weapons, and driving mechas that had been de-numbered, launched a surprise attack on the Federation's most advanced aerospace aircraft carrier formation. Wang Tianlong stood on a rusty antique-level space carrier, with a starry sky battleship blocking the sky behind him.
