Chapter 774 Spaceship Escape Pod

"Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling!" The school bell rang, and a group of little ones rushed down the school building towards the school gate. The teachers in charge of each class followed closely behind. This kindergarten belongs to the Ruida Group and only accepts the children of group employees. Management is quite strict; every evening at dismissal, the teachers in charge must hand over every child in their class to their respective parents.

"Look, Dad's here to pick us up!" "Dad, Dad!"

From afar, the two little ones, Tinglan and Wangshu, spotted Qiao Ruida and ran over, shouting excitedly. As employees of the Ruida Group, their teacher naturally recognized his boss and didn't stop the two children, letting them run out of the school gate.

Qiao Ruida bent down, opened her arms, and hugged her two children. "Slow down, slow down. Running so fast, aren't you afraid of sweating and catching a cold? I was saying, have you gained weight again? It's a bit difficult for me to carry you."

"We haven't gained weight, we've grown taller!" The moment the topic of weight gain came up, their daughter, Qiao Wangshu, immediately objected, craning her neck to argue with her father. It seems that women, regardless of age, are extremely concerned about their figure.

"Alright, alright, my darlings have grown taller. Are you hungry? Let's go home." Qiao Ruida carried his two children to the car, opened the back door, and put them inside. Because he often drove his children to and from school, this top-of-the-line flying car had two child seats installed in the back.

Five minutes later, the flying car arrived above their courtyard house, aimed at the open space in the front yard, and slowly descended. As soon as the car came to a complete stop, the back doors on both sides opened simultaneously, and the two little ones eagerly jumped out and ran to the backyard, shouting, "Mommy, I'm home!" "Mommy, is dinner ready? I'm starving!"

Seeing this, Qiao Ruida shook his head and smiled, leaned over to the back seat, picked up his children's schoolbags, got out of the car and walked to the backyard.

"You're back, honey. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner!" Du Qingqing took the schoolbag from Qiao Ruida, casually placed it on the living room sofa, and turned to walk into the kitchen. Since giving birth to her son and daughter, Du Qingqing has devoted most of her energy to her family, becoming a full-time housewife. She takes care of her children and husband every day, cooks and does laundry, and enjoys it all.

After dinner, and after playing with the two children for a while, Jorid went to the study on the second floor alone. "Jarvis, has there been any new news from the front?"

The front line Joridar referred to was naturally the edge of the solar system, the defensive front of the human fleet. As the main manufacturer of interstellar warships and the owner of numerous space technology patents, the Rida Corporation naturally possessed extremely high authority and could obtain a great deal of classified intelligence from the front lines.

"Some bosses, yesterday a small advance fleet of Sirius people suddenly flew out of the star channel and appeared at the edge of the solar system, where they were completely annihilated by our human fleet in one blow..." Jarvis's voice was flat and straightforward, like a reading machine without any emotion.

“These reports were already on the internet and television last night. Now, let me tell you something I don’t know.” Jorid interrupted Jarvis’s recitation, pulled up a chair, and sat down at the desk. “Well, there is one piece of information that hasn’t been made public: when our human fleet was cleaning up the battlefield after the war, we captured more than a dozen living Sirius people. They have been taken to the flagship Great Wall for interrogation.”

"Oh, they actually captured Sirius people alive? How did they survive?"

In interstellar warfare, main gun battles and laser barrages are commonplace. Once a spaceship is destroyed, its life support system is the first to succumb. It's well known that the space environment is extremely harsh: low temperatures, low pressure, cosmic radiation, and the absence of air—each of these poses a deadly threat to carbon-based life forms like humans. Without an extravehicular activity (EVA) suit, exposure to space would only last a few seconds. The Sirius people, also a carbon-based species, are not much stronger than humans, making survival in space incredibly difficult.

"It is said that every Sirius spaceship is equipped with a certain number of escape pods. In the event of a devastating attack, the surviving crew members can crawl into the escape pods and eject. These escape pods have extremely hard outer shells that can withstand most space weapons, and are equipped with cryogenic hibernation facilities that can sustain the crew for more than a year. The only downside is that these cryogenic hibernation pods do not have any propulsion system. After ejection, they can only fly in a straight line, and whether they live or die depends entirely on luck."

While giving his narration, Jarvis also projected several photos of escape pods into the air, which were clearly taken at the front lines and then transmitted back.

"This design is interesting. In the future, we can also install similar escape facilities on the spaceships and spacecraft we produce. The universe is full of dangers, and you can never have too many safety measures. By the way, with so many people captured on the front lines, have you gotten any confessions?"

"The two sides cannot communicate in the same language and can only communicate through writing, which makes communication very inconvenient. Moreover, most of these Sirius prisoners are ordinary soldiers with very limited knowledge, and not much information has been obtained so far. The most important piece of information is that within the next six months, two more Sirius fleets will arrive in the solar system. Their number of warships will far exceed that of this advance fleet."

Speaking of the Sirius people's script, it was Joridar who cracked it using his superpowers. At the time, humanity only obtained some Sirius text data from the wreckage of the alien spaceship; there were no video or audio files. Therefore, Joridar only provided the correspondence between the Sirius script and Chinese, without addressing pronunciation. This explains the unique situation where humanity could only communicate with Sirius prisoners through written communication during interrogations.

"It seems that these Sirius people are determined to seek refuge in the solar system. If humanity does not want to lose Earth and the solar system, an earth-shattering war will be inevitable. This is a war of races and a war for survival. In the end, only one of humanity and the Sirius people can survive. The winner will gain control of both the solar system and the Sirius system, while the loser will lose everything, and may even face extinction."

"Don't worry, boss. According to my calculations, the chances of humanity winning this interstellar war are as high as 92%." Jarvis, true to his AI identity, even when comforting people, habitually uses data to speak for itself.

"Hmm, what about the remaining 8%? We humans even have several Star Destroyers, such powerful weapons. Is it possible for the Sirius people to turn the tide?" (End of Chapter)
