"Is this a battleship from an alien civilization? It is almost twice the size of the Tiankun, and its speed is far faster than our heavy cruiser."

Friday, June 21, 2046.

summer solstice.

Shenzhou.

In the core command and control cabin, in addition to Xu Lei and Xingtong, there were eight people gathered here. Their eyes were fixed on the extraterrestrial civilization warship last captured by the deep space probe on the screen in front of them. They felt this in their words.

I was surprised but also worried about the outcome of this battle.

So that the whole atmosphere seemed very suffocating.

Except for the transport ship Kunpeng, which stayed behind on Mars and did not participate in the battle, the other nine warships of the alliance are all here.

And they are also the captains of these battleships.

Looking around, you can see many familiar faces.

For example, he was responsible for the thunder warfare of the Azure.

Zhang Jingtong, who has just taken up the post of Taiyin.

Speaking of Zhang Jingtong, there is another interesting thing here.

When Binjiang City conducted its first large-scale consciousness upload, he was among the mechanical life forms that woke up.

Maybe he was so worried about his granddaughter's safety that he lost control of his body and disrupted the normal process of spraying nano-skin-like materials on others.

In the end, Xu Lei took action to subdue him.

After checking Zhang Jingtong's past information, Xu Lei found that he was also from the military and had participated in many battles overseas. To a certain extent, he was similar to Lei Zhan, the king of soldiers.

So he was naturally absorbed into becoming a core member of the Alliance Space Force.

In addition to his excellent performance in subsequent training tests, he was appointed as the acting captain of the Taiyin hammer cruiser.

Even though he is an agent.

But in essence there is no difference between it and the formal one.

As long as there are no major mistakes later, causing losses to the alliance.

As for Zhang Jingtong's granddaughter Xiaowen, she currently lives in the Lunar Taiyin City, and she can be regarded as being blessed by her grandfather.

The captains of the remaining battleships came from a variety of backgrounds, mostly from inland and overseas.

But they all have a common identity.

That is a mechanical life form.

Xu Lei listened to the words of Captain Balk of the Ark, but his expression remained calm and he did not lose himself because of this.

When facing a powerful and mysterious alien enemy, it is normal to have fear of the unknown. Although Balk is the captain of the Ark, he, like others, has never participated in a real interstellar war, so it is inevitable that he will feel a little panicked.

But that doesn't mean there isn't good news.

At least there is only one enemy warship.

Facts have proved that Xu Lei's previous judgment was correct.

The enemy uses Pluto to think that it has eliminated all life on Earth. In this case, it will inevitably be careless, thinking that it only needs to take over the galaxy easily.

In this way, too much force will not be dispatched.

After all, the cost of sailing between two galaxies must be included in the calculation.

If we really send a whole powerful fleet here just to take over a planet without civilization, wouldn't it be like using anti-aircraft guns to swat mosquitoes?

Is it too wasteful?

Now the enemy only sends one warship to the solar system, even if it has a strong combat effectiveness, it is definitely a good thing for mankind.

As the saying goes, too many ants can kill an elephant.

With the strength of a small fleet in the Alliance, there may not be anything they can do against this battleship.

But before Xu Lei could speak to mobilize everyone's fighting spirit, Zhang Jingtong took the lead and said: "The alien only has one battleship. After entering the solar system, the battleship will inevitably slow down and lose its advantage in speed. Our battleship is inferior in performance."

If we get closer to them, we can shorten the gap, and if we attack them as a group, we have a great chance of winning."

It is said that ginger is still spicier when it is old.

For these elderly people who have lived for decades, as long as their body is reborn, they can be calm without losing energy, which is completely incomparable to young people.

Xu Lei was also very pleased to see that Zhang Jingtong had such an opinion.

Zhang Jingtong said it right.

An alien warship equipped with an anti-matter engine can even approach one percent of the speed of light when traveling at full speed.

It is incomparable to the heavy hammer cruiser.

Even the main weapon heavy rail gun and the secondary weapon space torpedo launcher alone may not be able to hit the opponent.

This kind of disparity is simply a defeat in combat.

Being beaten by extraterrestrial civilization.

Fortunately, this battlefield is not in the vast expanse of space. Entering the solar system, a star system surrounded by eight planets, extraterrestrial civilizations must slow down and fly if they want to land on the Earth-Star battleship.

When the speed of the two warships is at the same level, it is difficult to control who will win.

As the saying goes, three cobblers can rival Zhuge Liang. Xu Lei did not believe that the power of eight heavy cruisers could not destroy this battleship.

But it is worth mentioning that he did not immediately respond to Zhang Jingtong's words, but instead let them discuss it on their own first.

Anyway, the truth becomes clearer with more debate.

Subsequent battles with extraterrestrial civilizations will also require the unity and cooperation of all warships.

If there is any problem, it is much better to clarify it now than to make some mistakes during the battle. You must know that this is a battle that humans cannot afford to fail.

really.

As Zhang Jingtong finished speaking, others started chatting one after another.

"Captain Zhang is right. In this war, at least we have an absolute advantage in numbers." Lei Zhan deeply agreed with Zhang Jingtong's remarks and added this first.

"These aliens look down on us humans, which will be the biggest mistake they make."

"They'll be in for a surprise soon."

But Balk was not unhappy because of Zhang Jingtong's words. Instead, he suddenly thought of something and quickly put forward a new suggestion: "In my opinion, it is better to withdraw the battle line to the orbit of Mars. This way we can also use the planetary defense system of Mars."

Cooperate with us to attack warships of extraterrestrial civilizations."

"This method won't work." Xu Lei shook his head and rejected it without thinking.

Seeing no one answered, he slowly opened his mouth to explain.

"There is a Mars city on Mars. If it is attacked, it will have serious consequences. We must not let the war burn there."

In a sense, human civilization now has a surviving population of only one billion people. In order to ensure the stability and subsequent development of civilization, problems must not arise.

If the battle line is withdrawn to Mars, then regardless of whether the battleships of extraterrestrial civilizations can be destroyed in the end, I am afraid that the Mars city will be affected.

This situation is definitely not what Xu Lei wants to see.

Balke soon realized the problem with his suggestion, and even admitted his mistake: "I didn't think carefully about it."

The situation has developed to this point, and the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations are constantly approaching the earth.

Xu Lei shouldn't waste too much time.

Since no one else has a better plan to discuss, combat orders must be deployed as soon as possible.

So that everyone will not bump into each other like headless flies.

When his thoughts came to this point, Xu Lei immediately made a decision: "Each warship will replenish all the missing materials and go to the designated coordinates to stand by to prepare for the encirclement of extraterrestrial civilization warships. As for the transport ship Tiankun, it will temporarily retreat to Mars orbit, with a maximum of two or three

In a few months we will be in contact with the enemy."

Transport ships do not have combat capabilities due to their own characteristics.

Coupled with the size and length of one thousand meters, it is equivalent to a living target among the small heavy cruisers.

It will definitely be attacked first by extraterrestrial civilizations.

Originally, the role of the Tiankun was to replenish various supplies and ammunition for other warships. After completing this mission, there was no need to stay on the battlefield.

Of course, no one else had any objections to Xu Lei's arrangement.

After this brief pre-war meeting ended, all the captains returned to their respective battleships and immediately went to the designated location coordinates, waiting for the extraterrestrial civilization warships to enter the area and start the encirclement.

The time Xu Lei mentioned was not casual.

In the past, we could only rely on Xingpu to calculate the enemy's arrival time based on known information.

For example, the impact time of Pluto was very precise.

But these days are no longer the past. Relying on his overclocking status, he can even get the specific time faster than Xingtong.

When only Xu Lei and Xingtong were left in the core command room of the Shenzhou, Xu Lei ordered again: "Send a few attackers out to see if they can encounter warships from extraterrestrial civilizations, and test them in advance.
