Human-made defensive space stations may lack reconnaissance capabilities, but they are by no means lacking in weaponry.
Various cutting-edge technologies from the Defense Force era were fired at the Natan aliens' spacecraft as if they were free.
Tana narrowly escaped death by barely managing to get out of the space station's firing range and return to outer space.
Even so, various spacecraft capable of breaking through the atmosphere individually launched from the space station, swarming out in an attempt to encircle and annihilate Tana.
......................................................................................................
"These stupid, inferior creatures! When will this ever end?!"
With the spaceship's stealth system destroyed by the electromagnetic cannon, Tana could only grit his teeth and adjust his course, hoping to use his superb piloting skills to shake off the other aircraft behind him.
So, in this chase, Tana gradually moved away from Earth and came to the vicinity of the moon.
Silence!
In the blink of an eye, a spacecraft with a speed almost identical to Tana's suddenly flew out from the lunar surface, startling him greatly.
By the time he came to his senses, the aircraft was already flying parallel to Tana.
In this vacuum environment, the crimson-white tail flames streaked across the darkness like meteors, and fierce artillery fire rained down on Tana's aircraft.
[Unfamiliar aliens, stop your spaceship immediately!]
While engaging Tana's aircraft, they also managed to establish communication with him via electromagnetic waves...
"Damn inferior creatures!"
This time, Tana was no longer able to shake off the guy behind him as easily as he could off other aircraft.
Not only does the enemy's aircraft possess extremely high performance, but the pilots of those aircraft are also top-tier combat personnel.
In fact, the aircraft currently engaged in combat with Tana is one of the most advanced aircraft types within TPC—the Carlo airship.
In fact, back in the Earth Defense Force era, the Earth had already developed a faster-than-light flying machine—the Hyakushiki Fighter.
Although the Type 100 fighter jet eventually disappeared into the light along with Kazuma Asuka.
However, the remaining data was still received by TPC and was subsequently copied and studied.
Among them, Dr. Yao's Victory Flying Swallow series is the most famous.
However, few people know that after Dr. Yao developed the Victory Flying Swallow series, he actually submitted a copy of the relevant data to the Carlo Base on the moon.
The Carlo flying boat, modeled after the Victory Flying Swallow series but with enhanced weaponry and combat capabilities, was a special type of aircraft born under these circumstances.
However, due to TPC's own peaceful principles, the Carlo airships are only permitted to be manufactured and possessed by the Carlo base on the moon, and are never allowed to appear on Earth.
Right now, the one piloting this Carlo airship is none other than Swiftwind, the captain of the Carlo base!
Silence! Silence! Silence!
Thanks to the powerful performance of the Carlo airship, and various dangerous weapons that are not allowed on the Earth's surface...
Gale relentlessly pursued Natan's aircraft, gradually forcing it into the attack range of the lunar Carlo base.
boom!
In an instant, the Carlo base, which was already on alert, quickly switched to "space attacker mode".
Thousands of laser beams illuminated the moon's darkness, and one after another, automatically tracking missiles swiftly streaked across the sky...
Tana never expected that these lunatics would set up such a massive weapons deployment on the satellite's surface, and could only watch helplessly as his spacecraft was hit and crashed.

Chapter 505 Gaelvin Sightseeing Space Station
Inside the Galvin Space Station, in outer orbit.
"so beautiful!"
Is that an extra part of the tour?
……
Tourists visiting the space station noticed the "fireworks" blooming in outer space and on the lunar surface and exclaimed in amazement.
As the first visitors after the space station opened for tourism, those who could come here were either wealthy and powerful people or family members of Gailvin Corporation employees.
They might not be considered well-informed, but they were clear about the financial resources and methods of the Galvin Company.
Preparing one or two "surprise" little programs in advance during sightseeing seems to be very much in line with the consistent style of Galvin Company.
Only a few tourists with extremely high scientific literacy vaguely realized that the "fireworks" outside could not possibly have been prepared by the Galvin Company.
Let's set aside the question of what kind of "fireworks" could be so dazzling in the cosmic environment.
The distance between the space station and the moon alone disproves the claim that "this is a tourist attraction."
Of course, this doesn't mean that Gailvin Corporation is incapable of establishing its own base on the moon, but rather that Gailvin Corporation has no need to do such a pointless thing.
As one of the few people Lu Xuan personally brought to the sightseeing space station, Jia'er was able to see the truth.
"That's not fireworks!"
"That's a high-powered laser weapon!"
Undisguised in her excitement, Kari lowered her voice and spoke to Kuzuha Jiro, who was still in a daze beside her.
"Huh? A laser weapon?"
He blinked in confusion, then suddenly snapped awake, as slow as ever.
This was certainly not because Kuzuha Jiro was sick.
In fact, given Kuzuha Jiro's physical condition, it would be very difficult for him to get sick from ordinary viruses.
The reason he is acting so slow now is simply because it is the first time he has stood at such a high place and looked down at the Earth and the Moon.
It might sound funny, but Kuzuha Jiro does seem to have a tendency to be afraid of heights.
Or more precisely, it is a kind of nihilism, similar to thalassophobia or megalophobia.
As a typical terrestrial being, Kuzuha Jiro would always unconsciously experience a certain physiological fear when he was in this cramped space station and looked up at the endless universe.
Especially when he inadvertently sees the vast universe and the endless void, Kuzunoha Jiro would feel a sense of fear.
In Kuzuha Jiro's eyes, the boundless universe seemed ready to devour him at any moment.
That feeling of repression, fear, and dread is not something that can be overcome simply by doing so.
"Still not recovered?"
Gazing at the endless starry sky, Jia'er, though also feeling her own insignificance, did not experience any fear.
On the contrary, what welled up from the depths of Jia'er's heart at this moment was an unprecedented desire and pride.
She wanted to conquer this endless universe and roam freely in the boundless sea of stars.
"It's not that easy to recover..."
Forcibly shifting his gaze to the ground of the space station, Kuzuha Jiro answered helplessly with his head down.
Kuzuha Jiro, who never imagined he would have vagus fear, has now utterly humiliated himself.
"However, you just said those were laser weapons, what evidence do you have?"
Kuzuha Jiro, who decisively changed the subject, demonstrated his strong "desire" for knowledge at that moment.
Whether he truly cares about this "knowledge" is anyone's guess.
Because the innocent Jia'er had been successfully diverted from the topic, she no longer paid attention to the matter of vacillation.
"The universe is a vacuum, and ordinary explosive weapons could not possibly produce such a dazzling flash of light."
"Even if some explosive weapons contain accelerants, the flames could never travel from the moon to the space station."
When it comes to her area of expertise, Jia'er's serious demeanor makes it hard to believe she's still just a primary school student.
"So only high-powered laser weapons can achieve this level of capability."
Blinking once more, this time Kuzunoha Jiro was no longer confused, but suddenly understood.
"Is it the Carlo base on the moon? Are there intruders?"
At this moment, the only facilities on the moon capable of using high-power laser weapons are the lunar bases inherited from the Earth Defense Force era.
The Carlo base on the moon is a military base, and it would be absolutely impossible for it to use high-power laser weapons on such a large scale unless it encountered an invasion.
"It's not clear yet, but someone here should know."
A rare sly smile appeared on her face, and Jia'er's eyes darted around, clearly indicating that she was up to no good.
"Wait, what are you trying to do!?"
Reacting immediately, Kuzuha Jiro asked with a hint of fear.
This isn't Earth, and besides, before coming here, Kuzuha Jiro made a promise to his mother that he would never cause trouble with Kari again.
"Find that rabbit, she definitely knows what happened!"
Just as Kuzuha Jiro had predicted, Kari's opening remarks immediately terrified him.
"No, Uncle Lu will kill me!"
Kuzuha Jiro had no doubt about Lu Xuan's determination, just as he had no doubt about Jia'er's position in Lu Xuan's heart.
Even if Jia'er were to cause any more trouble, Lu Xuan would never blame her.
As the scapegoat, I'm sure I'll face retribution later.
"It's alright, Uncle Lu left the space station a long time ago. I watched him leave with my own eyes."
With a slightly cunning expression that hinted at a sense of certainty, Kari tried to persuade Kuzuha Jiro to agree to her approach.
Otherwise, with this guy watching over me, the next steps would be impossible to carry out.
"..."
Silently watching Kari, Kuzuha Jiro remained silent for a long time.
It wasn't until Jia'er felt a little uneasy under the other person's gaze that he thoughtfully asked a question.
"Which 'Jack' are you now?"
In Kuzuha Jiro's memory, Kari, who gradually became more cheerful, was certainly lively, but she was definitely not as "lively" as she is now.
"I remember Lu Xuan just gave you a psychological evaluation not long ago, right?"
"How did you manage to keep it from Uncle Lu?"
Seeing Kari's increasingly astonished expression, Kuzuha Jiro became even more certain of his guess.
The "Jia'er" in front of me could not possibly be the Jia'er I know.
"Tsk, why so sensitive at this particular time..."
Jia'er muttered something under her breath in exasperation and had no choice but to take the initiative to explain.
“I’m not the Jia’er you know, but I got that guy’s permission to come out this time.”
"Besides, she was also very curious about why Uncle Lu left in such a hurry."

Chapter 506 Silicon-Based Life
Yutu is a service robot created by humans from another time and space to ensure the safety of lunar colonists.
Because its fundamental logic at the time of its creation was to protect humanity, the Jade Rabbit holds extremely high reverence and respect for every humanoid being.
Whether they are ancient humans or modern humans, in the heart of the Jade Rabbit, they are all its creators.
However, unlike service robots that were awakened early on, humanity had already perished when Yutu was awakened.
The Jade Rabbit could only follow ancient humans from another timeline to a parallel universe thousands of years ago.
Of course, while it's said to be a parallel universe from thousands of years ago, the technological level on this Earth actually far surpasses that of the humans who created the Jade Rabbit.
At the very least, Yutu is amazed by the level of technological development in this world.
Cheap and efficient new energy sources, near-light-speed spacecraft, and those almost omnipotent giants...
