“Captain’s report, a large number of warships have taken off from Earth’s satellite, the Moon, heading to the defense line around Mars…”
“How many battleships are there?”
”150,000…”
“So many?”
Moro was shocked, quickly summoning the gravity wave detector to check.
On the screen, there was a dense mass of warships, a sight to behold.
“But their warships are still equipped with the propulsion unique to a Level 1 civilization, the speed is not too fast, and the attack power is just average…”
Moro breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed, “150,000 warships, quite a number, but they’re all flimsy, shattering on touch…”
“Notify the vanguard corps, destroy all 150,000 warships, none are to be spared!”
Earth-Xiadu Base.
“Are the nuclear weapons ready?”
“They are ready. The place chosen to attack the sky curtain is over the ocean, far from Chang’an City…”
In Chang’an’s Blue Moon New District, quite a few warships were taking off and landing to transport resources, any action risked discovery.
After discussion, the Earth Federation decided to break through the sky curtain from the other hemisphere.
“Alright, how are preparations on the public opinion front?”
“A million internet soldiers are in position, ready to initiate at any time…”
The deployment of nuclear weapons couldn’t be kept a secret, and before making a move, the Earth Federation needed to secure the moral high ground to justify their actions.
“,
Good!
II
“Notify them, the public opinion campaign can start now!”
In 2029, on February 22, the internet exploded again with the emergence of a news story.
” We are the Universe Federation…”
“With 77 civilizations…”
The Earth side published the false information sent by the Moro fleet to Zhao Yu on the internet without any changes.
“Universe Federation of Civilization?
II
“What’s happening? Are they inviting us to join?”
“We must join! The era of interstellar relations has officially begun…”
“Great, I want to see the other 77 civilizations in the Federation…”
At first, internet users were thrilled, thinking this was good news. But the revelation that came next shocked everyone.
“The intercepted message is from a month and a half ago, and there has been no communication or negotiation with the lunar side during this period…”
The internet users were stunned.
“Do you mean the aliens on the moon aren’t part of the Federation?!”
“Don’t they want us to join the Federation?!”
Soon, people from the civilian astronomy association stepped up.
“According to our observations, the Protective Shield not only prevents the universe from observing Earth…”
“But it also prevents us from observing the universe…”
“Since the construction of the Protective Shield, our association has discovered that the cosmos above us has not changed. All the sun, moon, and stars are just projections, all fake…”
“Moreover, several manned spacecraft from the Earth Federation that wanted to leave Earth for space research were intercepted and driven back by the lunar aliens…”
“While we may still be an independent civilization in name, we have essentially become prisoners of the lunar aliens…”
This news created a global uproar.
Internet users initially did not believe it.
“These aliens created Bluemoon Tech, and many of their products have benefited all of humanity, could there be a misunderstanding?!”
“Nonsense, there are millions of immigrants on the moon, why would they blockade Earth?!”
“Who’s spreading fake news, they are so powerful, do they need to blockade us?”
“Yes, if the lunar aliens wanted to destroy Earth, it would be easy, why go through all this trouble?!”
But then, the Earth Federation announced several space missions that had been hindered and forced to return.
This stirred up a worldwide sensation.
“Are we really being blockaded?!”
“What do the lunar aliens want to do?!
II
“Are they keeping us in captivity?”
“According to the laws of the Universe Federation of Civilizations, this is illegal…”
Many people took to the streets to protest against the lunar aliens’ blockade of Earth.
But even more people were worried.
“I’m afraid of one thing now…”
“That is, the Universe Federation of Civilizations may not know that we are not on the same side as the lunar aliens…”
“They have blockaded us for so long…”
“The message from the Universe Federation of Civilizations arrived a month and a half ago, but the lunar side has not contacted us…”
“This indicates that they do not intend to inform the Universe Federation of
Civilizations of our existence…”
“They are leading the Universe Federation of Civilizations to believe that they are us!”
“If the Universe Federation of Civilizations believes this and leaves, what will happen to us?!”
“We will become the lunar aliens’ experimental subjects, pets, slaves, to be disposed of as they wish…”
People were not only panicking, but also angry.
No one thought that an alien civilization they once admired would be so vile, not only blockading Bluestar, but also hiding the existence of Bluestar from the United Federation of Civilizations.
“We must do something…”
“Boycott Blue moon Tech…”
A young man, unable to contain his anger, grabbed a bat and rushed towards Blue moon’s new district in Chang’an.
That day, millions of people attacked the Blue moon Tech factory in the new Blue moon district of Chang’an.
The daily security work here was arranged by the Earth side.
But on this day, thousands of security personnel took off their coats and joined the forces of justice.
Initially, people were worried that Blue moon Tech might send robots to attack.
But as time passed and Blue moon Tech remained silent, people grew bolder.
The calls to boycott Blue moon Tech and overthrow the aliens grew louder.
“We must break the Protective Shield and let the Universe Federation of
Civilizations know we are here…”
“Otherwise, there will be no future for Earth, and we will never see the real sunlight again…”
Global public sentiment was volatile, and no one was in the mood to work. Thousands of cities were protesting, shouting to drive away the aliens.
Besides the Blue moon Tech factory in the new Blue moon district, Blue moon Tech’s products were also boycotted.
A large number of maglev buses and construction robots were attacked and destroyed by the angry public.
Projects like the Light Tweezers Sky Ladder and Environment Simulation came to a halt. Winning companies sent people to remove the plaques and celebration banners overnight.
A movement against the aliens began worldwide.
A day after the uproar, the Earth Federation finally spoke up.
“The truth is that we, Earth, are being blockaded by the aliens from the moon…”
“As an independent civilization, we should have the right to control our entry and exit from the planet…”
“But now, that right has been stripped away by the lunar aliens…”
“The Protective Shield, which should have served as a shield to protect Earth from being discovered by malicious civilizations in the universe, has become a tool for the lunar aliens to block our technological advancement…”
“The invitation from the Universe Federation of Civilizations to join them, sent to us, the civilization of Earth, is real…”
“We should have the right to decide whether to join the Universe Federation of Civilizations. But now, the lunar aliens have taken this right away from us. They even hid everything, concealed our existence, leading the Universe Federation of Civilizations to believe, until now, that we Earth people are with them, the lunar aliens…”
“If you fall behind, you will be beaten up. This iron law still holds true in the universe…”
“Now, if our Earth wants to obtain freedom, there is only one way out…”
“Break the Protective Shield and let the Universe Federation see us!”
“Break the Protective Shield and let the Aliens from the moon who violated the laws of the Federation receive the punishment they deserve!”
“Break the Protective Shield and let our Earth civilization join the harmonious family of the universe!”
“The nuclear weapons are ready. All our compatriots on the Earth, please pray for us.. May we break through the Protective Shield and regain the freedom of the people of the Earth!”
