The biggest difference between Eagle Strike Warriors and ordinary soldiers is that every Eagle Strike Warrior can not only act as a communicator, quickly analyze intelligence and grasp key points, but also act as their own commander, making instant personal decisions and putting them into practice to influence the outcome of the battle.

Thus, every Eagle Strike Warrior is actually an all-around talent capable of adapting to changes on the battlefield.

However, each improvement in equipment performance will inevitably bring greater challenges for soldiers.

Take the new gravitational wave detector, for example. It can collect more detailed information than before, projecting it in the form of lists and images on a tactical helmet.

The more precise and sensitive the detection equipment, the more information and details it provides.

An elite Eagle Strike Warrior can find what they want within a short time from this information and make perfect strategies.

Ordinary soldiers, on the other hand, would be overwhelmed and unable to respond, forcing them to lower the precision of the detector and revert to previous standards.

Ordinary soldiers don’t have as many details as elite fighters.

In a rapidly changing battlefield, often these details determine victory or defeat in an instant.

Strong fighters can do what the weak cannot, while the weak are constrained by their own limits, resulting in a world of difference in performance.

Now, the Ultimate Enhanced Eagle Strike Armor equipped on Harrison Clark has a top-tier detector with complete radium-based gravitational wave field technology performance, three times the performance of the old version. The amount of information provided is 27 times that of the past.

The elite version of the armor is slightly suppressed in performance, achieving only 60-70% of radium technology.

The basic enhanced version for ordinary soldiers reaches just 45-50% performance.

However, the performance of the information collection equipment is just one of the differences. Another major difference lies in their power capabilities.

Harrison Clark’s Ultimate Enhanced Eagle Strike Armor weighs two times the elite enhanced version and three times the basic enhanced version!

That’s because it has a total of five pseudo-curvature engines, compared to two in the elite enhanced version and only one in the basic enhanced version.

Not only can Harrison Clark capture 27 times more information than before, but he can also make use of the five pseudo-curvature engines to perform curvature maneuvers that even the Black Light War Beasts cannot achieve!

That’s why the gap between Harrison Clark and the elite Eagle Strike Warriors is so huge, and the gap between the elite and ordinary fighters is just as wide.

Now Harrison Clark has fully mastered his Ultimate Eagle Strike Armor, and his abilities and equipment have reached a rare perfect balance.

However, other soldiers are still in continuous training, improving their adaptation to the newly upgraded equipment.

Over these three months, led by the Titan Institute, various research institutions and a large number of industrial bases have made all-out efforts, and human production capabilities have reached their peak.

The process of human military equipment upgrading has been greatly accelerated.

With the help of new gravitational wave field technology, the performance of battleship shields and space radar has been comprehensively iterated.

However, there has been no progress in the engines of the battleships. The production of key components for large-scale pseudo-curvature engines has encountered a bottleneck in material science, and efforts are underway to resolve the issue.

New Eagle Strike Armor has been comprehensively equipped for the frontline soldiers of the Freedom Front. Nearly 500,000 fighters in total have upgraded to the basic enhanced and elite enhanced Eagle Strike Armors.

If all goes well, within another three months, nearly all Eagle Strike Warriors in the various frontline teams will have at least one basic Enhanced Eagle Strike Armor.

While humanity is surging with development on its side, the radium on Earth is showing no signs of action.

Although the high-level Freedom Front can’t guess what the radium are plotting, it would be foolish not to take advantage of the situation and intensify activities, seizing more resources.

Human forces are gradually becoming more active, launching surprise attacks on radium-controlled/resource mines, cutting off some of the Dyson membrane microwave power transmission networks between Earth and the radium’s space mines, and redirecting them to their own resources.

The war clouds hanging over the solar system are gradually becoming denser.

“Notify the Gale Vertical Team and Caesar Vertical Team to reduce engine power, increase the power of the transmissive energy field, increase stealth, switch to gliding mode, and gradually approach the front.”

In the flagship of the Giant Wave Vertical Team, Nora Camp presses her hands on the command table, staring intently at the projected star chart in front of her.

At the center of the projection star chart is a huge multi-link, single-arm self-spinning space station.

The space station is floating silently in space.

It looks like a series of giant wheels connected in a row.

There are eight layers of wheels, each with a diameter of over 600 kilometers.

Four layers are outside the pale-yellow Dyson membrane, and four layers are inside.

At the average dividing points of the giant metal cylinder connecting the wheels is a round metal ball with a diameter of 500 kilometers.

At this moment, the surface of the round metal ball occasionally flashes and swallows large electronic plasma flows that can penetrate the vacuum, like a river.

Thousands of small ships continuously fly out of the opened hatches on the inner four wheels, heading straight for the spindle-shaped large ships floating nearby.

This is the south pole of the Dyson membrane, where biological batteries are formed.

Those large ships are the radium’s armed transport fleet.

It took the Giant Wave Vertical Team three months to complete the integration.

Under the special care of Harrison Clark and Daniel Thompson, the “strongest instructor of humanity,” the 20,000 soldiers within the Giant Wave Vertical Team were the first to complete comprehensive adaptive training for the new equipment, making them the currently strongest human force.

It’s time for a powerful operation to boost the confidence of the whole of humanity who is busy preparing for war and seize back more precious resources – biological batteries.

This is the first action of the reorganized Giant Wave Vertical Team.

The fleet’s target is the south pole of the Dyson membrane, with the strategic goal of briefly intercepting the radium’s large transport fleet and taking back at least half a month’s worth of Dyson membrane bio-batteries!

This would instantly increase the total energy of the Freedom Front by 20.83%!The production capacity of the pseudo-curvature engine and the new gravitational wave detector can be doubled!

Three frontline vertical formations from the top ten Mars bases were present, along with the Caesar Vertical Team and the Gale Vertical Team.

Dozens of second- and third-tier vertical formations were also there.

A total of 7,800 large battleships had been mobilized.

This was the largest military operation the Freedom Front had taken in the past three months!

At this time, the fleet was still 630,000 kilometers away from the South Pole.

After switching to a silent glide with the engines off, the fleet would gradually approach at a low speed of 300 kilometers per second, and it would arrive near the South Pole space station in 2,100 seconds.

According to intelligence, the radium fleet consisting of 1,000 armed transport ships and 800 large battlecruisers would complete the collection of biological batteries in 1,500 seconds and regroup in 1,900 seconds.

At 2,120 seconds, the radium fleet would first start the ordinary particle engines to accelerate, and after 100 seconds, they would complete the preheating of the large pseudo-curvature engine and initiate it, entering a super high-speed propulsion mode.

Yes, this was another mission for the fleet.

Radium’s first move after three months of silence was to deploy this transport fleet recently equipped with large pseudo-curvature engines.

This demonstrated that radium had once again mastered this technology before humans and had put it into practice.

If the Mars United Army managed to seize the batteries and capture an intact transport ship, the bottleneck of human material science would be broken, and the technological level of the battleship engines would catch up with and even surpass radium.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Humans didn’t understand why radium would deploy the newly developed large engines directly instead of quietly completing the update and replacement, but they couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity.

The accuracy of human intelligence to this extent seemed bizarre but reasonable.

Because the “person” controlling this fleet was radium.

Under its domination, the vast force concentrated on Earth yet spread across more than half of the Solar System was as precise as a machine with no more than a o.oi-millisecond error for each component.

Time slowly passed as the hidden fleet gradually approached.

Even optical telescopes could clearly see the densely-packed small transport ships in the distance, reminiscent of ants moving their colony.

These small transport ships were constantly transporting containers measuring more than ten meters long, three meters wide, and three meters high and connecting them to the armed transport ships by rigid links.

The armed transport ships were covered with metal without any transmission windows, and only indicator lights of various colors flashed occasionally.

This was radium’s unique battleship design scheme.

It did not need to observe with the naked eye, so there was no need for transparent windows protected by an energy field.

There was also no need for an air circulation system in the cabin, and it could maintain a pure vacuum state.

The interior space of the cabin was exploited to the extreme. The armed transport ship’s volume was smaller than that of the human mothership, but its carrying capacity was more than twice that of the human mothership.

The other 800 large battlecruisers were roughly the same size as the flagship under Nora Camp’s command, and their carrying capacity was still more than twice as much.

However, the human fleet had an absolute advantage in numbers and nearly 120,000 Eagle Strike Warriors.

The atmosphere in the command room gradually became tense.

Even the battle-hardened Nora Camp quietly clenched her fists, focusing intently on the star map.

In the simulated star map, tiny space meteorites, and the projected rays representing various cosmic rays and solar wind trajectories flickered.

All this information fell into Nora Camp’s eyes and was analyzed by her high-speed commander brain.

Warfare used all means; mastering all information led to a perfect strategy.

1,500 seconds later, small transport ships completed their transport tasks and began retreating into the space station.

Armed transport ships began to focus while battlecruisers approached first and then dispersed their formation to carry out routine perimeter surveillance.

1,900 seconds later, the armed transport ships finished regrouping and began adjusting their formation, gradually transforming into a unified formation suitable for linked curvature motion.

After these battleships completed their formation, the frontmost armed transport ship could open the engine to compress the space in front at maximum power, and the rearmost transport ship would open the engine to expand the rear space at maximum power.

A thousand armed transport ships would share a complete pseudo-curvature motion trajectory space, advancing in the most energy-saving manner.

Additionally, the 800 battle cruisers also moved closer and formed eight small propulsion formations from front to back, protecting the transport ship formation at the central point of the cube.

On the surface, it seemed that radium’s fleet was completely unaware of the Mars Vertical Army’s operation and lacked any defense.

But no one on the Giant Wave Flagship dared to relax their vigilance.

Everyone was afraid to even breathe too hard, as if they feared being heard by radium.

The hundreds of thousands of encounters between humans and radium over the past century have taught humans one thing.

Never underestimate radium’s vigilance.

It’s a freak!

It can maintain its “mentality” in a combat state without ever getting tired.

Every encounter between the two sides instantly escalated to an intense battle from the very beginning!

At exactly 2,000 seconds, Nora Camp’s hand suddenly pressed the near-field quantum communication device and shouted loudly.

“Use the reserve biological batteries, run the energy transmission field at an over-normal load of 33%! Ignite the engines! Increase power to 30% within five seconds! Change the fleet formation, move towards the ecliptic plane in XYZ directions of -37.89, -62.11, and -43..21 respectively! Follow the curvature line 1731R to pierce the midpoint of the outer ring of the sixth space station! Disperse the formation at a linear distance of 3,215 kilometers and assume an umbrella-shaped formation!”
