Chapter 754: Chapter 652 North Sea Oilfield

North Sea, an area of ocean located between Britain and the countries of Northern Europe, roughly equal in size to the British mainland.

It was once a crucial source of fishing resources for Europe, being one of the world’s four major fishing grounds, and also important for oil and natural gas resources, ranking as the world’s ninth largest oilfield.

In the past, the North Sea undoubtedly held significant status and value for Europe. Its fishery and oil and gas resources were of substantial importance to Europe, even becoming one of the pillars of the European economy.

This sea area’s depth is mostly around one hundred meters, making it one of the world’s well-known shallow seas, which meant extracting seabed resources was relatively easy.

Thus, before the disaster, the oil and natural gas resources here were completely divided among neighboring countries, and after World War II, numerous extraction platforms were built.

However, when the disaster struck, all extraction platforms here were shut down, and all personnel evacuated. In the subsequent disaster, most platforms were swallowed by the rising sea level, and some were destroyed by various disasters.

This led to the first industrial ship completed reaching the area and looking for extraction platforms according to the map provided by the British, ending up finding almost none.

"Things seem more dire than expected!" On the bridge of the Guardian Land Ship, Chen Xin raised his binoculars, looking at a drilling platform almost frozen entirely in ice, sighing.

To ensure his safety, when Chen Xin proposed to accompany the industrial ship to the North Sea to establish a base, this Guardian Land Ship naturally followed, and both the captain and the political officer accompanying Chen Xin insisted he stay on the Guardian Land Ship instead of his preference for the industrial ship.

While feeling both helpless and amused, Chen Xin also deeply appreciated the importance the country placed on him, so he didn’t insist on saying things like he didn’t need protection from the Guardian Ship, but cooperatively stayed on board.

As for whether mobilizing both the Guardian Ship and industrial ship to the North Sea was wasting combat power, that wasn’t the issue.

On one hand, this Guardian Land Ship was specifically dispatched to Europe for Chen Xin’s protection, wherever Chen Xin is, this Guardian Ship should be there to ensure his safety, thus no waste issue existed.

Moreover, the Guardian Ship accompanying the industrial ship could also protect the industrial ship.

After all, industrial ships belong to logistics units, have little combat capability, and under the current European situation, protection from the Guardian Ship can greatly enhance safety.

Even though Chen Xin installed some defensive weapons like machine guns on the industrial ship to enhance survival capabilities and handle potential emergency situations.

But, not being a combat unit, these weapons only serve self-defense, can help buy time for the industrial ship to ascend and escape when necessary.

Although until now no signs of alien invasion have been found in the North Sea, no one can guarantee those cockroach-like aliens haven’t left traces elsewhere.

After all, seeing one usually means there’s a nest, no one dares to bet there are none.

Especially in Europe, besides land units, alien flying units exist; no one can guarantee no alien flying unit has breached the defenses.

Moreover, while Europe holds off aliens, Africa... perhaps the African continent has already become an alien playground?

Feeling the vibrations from the Land Ship landing, Chen Xin shook his head a bit helplessly.

Human advantage against aliens does feel minimal now, even though Asia’s Flame Country and Lucia jointly stabilized the situation and the alien invasion scale isn’t large, both countries are relatively okay, and have leftover strength to support the European battlefield, the situation in Europe remains grim.

Clearly, countries aren’t working together wholeheartedly, each has its own calculations.

Countries in front likely suffer survival pressure, unable to think much, but amidst tremendous casualties, whether they’ll retreat remains unknown.

Countries responsible for production and supply in the rear have their own plans, everyone knows how Federation rose during the two world wars, so now it’s their turn, can’t they seize this opportunity to rise?

Germany has these thoughts, other countries might also.

Even between Flame Country and Lucia, they may appear closely tight, but are they truly united?

Even ignoring these issues, whether humanity truly gathers all strength, unitedly facing crises and difficulties, uniting various forces to combat alien invasion, victory remains in question.

Currently, human territory only includes Eurasia, the American continent, being where the meteor struck directly, now no longer holds the once strong military power.

African continent also lacks power to resist alien invasion, Chen Xin even questions if they survived natural disasters initially, now seemingly completely occupied by aliens.

Under such circumstances, given aliens’ rapid reproduction, it’s uncertain whether humanity can entirely annihilate them.

Of course, the situation hasn’t reached a pessimistic level.

With human tenacity, global destruction hasn’t exterminated human civilization, what can alien invasion count as?

This is just another test humanity faces.

Perhaps many will perish and sacrifice, but like those who died when the disaster struck, they may be eliminated, but the survivors won’t give up hope.

As long as alive, humanity won’t halt its advance.

As long as progressing, new paths will continuously be created.

Moreover, the system Chen Xin possesses is a substantial advantage and trump card for humanity.

Continuously upgrading it, enhancing human war potential, allowing humanity to persist against aliens, expanding productivity, accumulating advantages, ultimately, when humanity defeats aliens, it will begin a new Chapter in developing human civilization.

Chen Xin has reason to believe, that will be a new era for humanity to reach the stars and oceans.
