The pursuit is still going on, but the Nanzhou is not a soft persimmon to handle. It flies forward and fires back. Not only are artillery shells and missiles thrown back, but even fighter planes pop up from time to time to show off their presence.
, shoot a few missiles or something, and then get back into the battleship.
It can be seen that these warships do not fly out of the ship at all, but are held by the robotic arm and sent outside the ship. After firing, the robotic arm is used to take them back.
The robotic arm is usually only used to recover fighter aircraft, and rarely sends them out.
The aliens were already very angry, and now they were even more angry. The problem was that no matter how angry they were, they couldn't catch up.
At this time, Luo Qi raised his head and reported: "Commander, Nanzhou's communication."
"Turn around." Ye Han said.
The image of Nanzhou is displayed on the main screen, so this communication will not be displayed on the main screen.
Clicking on the file, a cheerful Gao Kai appeared on the screen: "Ye Han, I succeeded. All the targets on Ceres have not escaped. I want to see how they can capture Ceres... Okay, I won't follow you either.
Enough to say, please be careful, over."
Ye Han smiled slightly and replied: "Congratulations, the aliens have stopped for at least two months. It's a long time to buy. I suggest you drag the enemy ship and keep running. As long as you can, it's over!"
When the communication was sent, Luo Qi asked curiously: "Sir, I have a question, is it convenient for me to ask you?"
Ye Han smiled and said, "Ask me, I'm in a good mood today."
Luo Qi said: "Then what? You said the aliens have been dormant for at least two months. How did you know?"
"This is calculated." Ye Han said, "I know what you want to ask. This matter is actually quite simple... He Lu, do you know?"
"I know." He Lu replied immediately.
"Then you explain to him." Ye Han immediately kicked the ball out.
"Yes!" He Lu agreed, "I don't know if I am right or not. If I am wrong somewhere, please bear with me, Captain."
Ye Han waved his hand: "You can tell me what I haven't said yet. Maybe I got it wrong."
He Ludao: "I think there are several reasons. First, the aliens have not landed on Ceres for a long time. No matter where they go, the first thing they do is to dig holes. The project on Ceres must have just started, and most of the supplies
It’s still on the ground... Captain, do aliens have to consume materials when developing asteroids?”
"That's for sure."
"I understand, the Nanzhou has blown up all the alien supplies, and the project has to be stopped... No, what does this have to do with two months?" Luo Qi still didn't understand the connection.
"It's a big deal." He Lu said, "Would it be difficult for us to send supplies to the asteroid belt?"
Luo Qi nodded: "Is there any need to say that?"
"Wouldn't it be difficult for aliens to send things to the asteroid belt?"
Luo Qi suddenly realized: "I understand, the aliens don't care how many people die, the key is that there is no place to replenish supplies, right?"
He doesn't understand the solar system as well as Ye Han and Luo Qi, but he still has the necessary common sense.
Why is it difficult for humans to send supplies to the asteroid belt? The reason is only one word - far!
The semi-major axis of Ceres is about 2.7 AU. What does this mean? It means that the average distance between Ceres and the orbit of the Earth is about 1.7 AU, or almost 250 million kilometers.
And what about Jupiter?
Its semi-major axis is 5.2 astronomical units. In other words, the average distance between the orbits of Ceres and Jupiter is two astronomical units, nearly 300 million kilometers.
I didn’t know it, but I was shocked. It turns out that aliens are 0.5 astronomical units farther away from Ceres than humans are from Ceres, which is more than 70 million kilometers.
Therefore, don’t think that it is only difficult for humans to transport supplies to the asteroid belt, and that it is also easy for aliens to transport supplies to the asteroid belt.
He Lu nodded and said, "Yes, I think that's the reason."
"Can't we replenish it on the spot? Aliens rely on insects for everything, so it shouldn't be difficult to replenish it on the spot, right?" Luo Qi said hesitantly.
He Ludao: "I think the possibility of on-site replenishment is not high. The key is that the aliens entered the asteroid belt for too short a time. If they had occupied Ceres from the beginning, I would have believed how much supplies they could replenish. But
Except for Ceres, there are not many large-scale asteroids here. Even if there are, they are too far away. It would be more convenient to contact Jupiter directly and ask for a batch of supplies... Captain, what do you think?"
Ye Han smiled and nodded: "I thought so too. The straight-line distance between Jupiter and Ceres should be three astronomical units now, right? It's much farther than the Earth to Ceres. Even if Jupiter sends out supplies immediately, it will take two months to deliver them.
To Ceres."
Luo Qi suddenly became excited and punched his left palm: "Okay, if they dare to send it away, we dare to intercept it. Want to occupy Ceres? What a dream!"
Ye Han said with a smile: "If our guess is right, we must intercept this batch of supplies in the future. We are afraid that our guess is wrong, or that aliens have extra supplies."
"Probably not." He Lu said, "Even if there are supplies, where will the extra spaceships come from?"
What fell on Ceres were not battleships, but alien spacecraft including the Fat Ship... The Leishan was unable to kill the enemy ship after chasing it for so long, and the Nanzhou got the head by running away casually, thinking
Ye Han felt unbalanced when he woke up.
"This makes sense." Ye Han said in agreement, "Ceres is not that small. The materials used to develop Ceres will definitely be indispensable. Even if they are mobilized from several other districts, it will still take a month. Let's get behind enemy lines first.
It's not too late to go around and intercept again."
"Sir, are aliens interested in more than just Ceres? Aren't there several other suspected targets?"
"What do you want to say?" Ye Han asked.
"This is what I think. The aliens entered the asteroid belt to grab territory. They must be interested in more than just Ceres, and they must also need supplies. If we find all the remaining targets and blow them up, can we?
Destroyed alien supply lines?”
"It's a good idea." Ye Han praised, "Let's try to blow up the enemy's supplies later. If we can cut off the enemy's supply, we can find something for them to do if they can't, so that they don't have to worry about us.
"Yes, we must find something for them to do!" Luo Qi grinned.
He Lu asked: "Captain, do you mean to set a goal first?"
Ye Han smiled bitterly: "I would like to, but in this situation, we can't find a chance!"
There are no enemy ships in the front and rear of the Leishan, but there are quite a few enemy ships on the left and right sides. It is the only way to asteroids No. 3 and 4. If the enemy ships do not leave for a day, the Leishan will not be able to pass by.
"Then what should we do?" He Lu was also in trouble, "How about we go to one side first and see if we can get a chance?"
