The Battle of Ceres ended with the evacuation of humans, but the Nanzhou fleet only left Ceres and did not withdraw from the asteroid belt.
Since the expedition plan has separated the main force of the human fleet, the Nanzhou Fleet Group is the last mobile force of humanity in the asteroid belt and cannot be withdrawn at this time under any circumstances.
Fortunately, the main force of the alien fleet has gone to Mars, and the alien warships left in the asteroid belt are basically on Ceres. The combat pressure on the Nanzhou is not very great, and the two sides are evenly matched.
On the third day after the Battle of Ceres, the main force of the alien fleet arrived at Mars, but it would take another week for the expedition fleet to fly to Jupiter.
Those who heard the news first breathed a sigh of relief, and then inevitably thought of the few days of delay before departure. Many people had an idea: if Huo Qiang hadn't been hesitant, the fleet would definitely have reached the target before the enemy.
, at least they can arrive at the same time!
To be honest, the fleets of both sides are not in the same direction, and their goals are also different. There is no difference whether it is a few days earlier or a few days later, but some people just can't get over this hurdle.
Huo Qiang was very calm about this. He had no intention of caring about whether these things existed. If he had the time and energy, he might as well care more about the war on Mars.
After several months of intense construction, all projects on Mars were completed on time, and engineering personnel withdrew from Mars ahead of schedule, leaving only a small number of military personnel and 20,000 servants.
The orbital elevator was also withdrawn from Mars before the enemy troops arrived, leaving only the bare base and straight rails on the wasteland.
Can Mars do it?
This is a question lingering in the minds of many people.
It’s not that everyone is too pessimistic, it’s just that the strength between the enemy and ourselves is too different.
There are only two battle groups in the direction of Mars, the Xuzhou and the Enterprise. There are more than 20 battleships in total. It is better to leave one battle group in each of the two camps. Not to mention the combat effectiveness, just command and coordination is not a small problem.
The enemy is different. The first batch of enemy ships that have just arrived has more than a hundred ships, and there will be two more batches later, with a total of more than 200 ships. The ratio of enemy warships to ours is as high as ten to one. With such a disparity in strength, even if the four are
Even if all the super cannons are added, it will not be enough. No matter how you look at it, the defeat of Mars is only a matter of time. Once Mars is lost, the earth will be the enemy's next target.
The Earth's defense system is much more complete than that of Mars, but the expedition plan took away the fleet. Although the orbital factory has been operating at full capacity since the fleet left, there are not many new ships on the slipway, so they can barely form a battle group, but there is still no
Kind of like a space carrier.
There is not enough fleet near the earth. There are only super cannons and no battleships. It is like a lame leg. In addition, the aliens who have landed on the earth have been restless and jumped out from time to time to stir up trouble. If we cooperate with the alien fleet inside and outside,
, the consequences are not generally unimaginable.
Everyone is nervously waiting for the enemy's attack, but the aliens don't seem to be in a hurry to attack Mars, but are lingering near Mars, patiently waiting for the follow-up troops.
When everyone's attention turned to the second and third batches of alien fleets, they realized what the aliens were planning to do - these two fleets were carrying dozens of asteroids of varying sizes!
"Is this trying to copy the style of play on Ceres?" Luo Qi guessed in surprise.
Aliens do not smash the earth because they want to colonize it, but Mars does not have this problem. If an asteroid hits Mars, the consequences are completely conceivable.
"Eighty percent yes." He Lu said, "No wonder Ceres didn't give up even after the fight was so miserable. Feelings are just a rehearsal for fighting Mars!"
"That's not right!" Luo Qi still couldn't figure it out. "There is a lot of water on Ceres, and it would be useful if aliens snatched it away. But there is only so little water on Mars, and it is all buried underground. It would be useless to snatch it away, right?"
Now He Lu couldn't answer for a while and subconsciously looked at Ye Han. Others noticed He Lu's actions and also looked at Ye Han.
Ye Han felt bad: "What are you doing, why are you looking at me?"
He Lu gave Ye Han a look of help: "Boss, you never got any inside information?"
Ye Han glared at He Lu angrily: "What a damn inside information. Do I have an insider to break into the aliens or something?"
He Lu grinned awkwardly: "That's not what I meant. I just want to hear your opinions and learn from you!"
These words sounded so good that Ye Han thought for a while before saying: "Maybe aliens have a way to transform Mars... This possibility is not high; maybe they don't want Mars to fall into our hands... Or they may have other ideas... Hey,
The reason why aliens don’t occupy Mars is because there is nothing they want here. On the other hand, what if Mars is valuable?”
The resources aliens need are organic matter or water, not mineral resources. There is no shortage of minerals on Mars, but it is extremely difficult to find organic matter and water.
He Lu was a little confused: "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Ye Han said: "For example, what would happen if aliens need gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals?"
He Lu immediately said: "First occupy Mars, and then use giant insects to mine... Aliens are so good at digging holes, mining is a business without money!"
"That's it... eh, it would be great if we could get a batch of giant worms back to mine. We would definitely make a lot of money!" Luo Qi said yearningly.
"You only know about money!" Ye Han glared at Luo Qi angrily, "Don't you think about why aliens are mining?"
"What else could it be for? Either they are copying our technology, or they have some use for it. For these two reasons, for sure!" Luo Qi said confidently.
He Lu couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "You don't have to say it!"
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this." Luo Qi waved his hand casually, "If aliens had this ability, they would have snatched away Mars long ago. How can they wait until now?"
He Ludao: "I'm not worried about them copycats, I'm just worried that they will dig out those lost technologies again."
"Probably not." Ye Han said, "If nothing else, our own technology is not that simple. Let's talk about yourself. I give you a set of battleship blueprints. Can you build a battleship?"
"It's definitely not possible!" He Lu agreed very much with this point.
Ye Han spread his hands: "Isn't this the end? The alien must have been wandering for a long time. Even if he really retains his previous skills, it is not that easy to recover. He must try it bit by bit slowly. When will he try it out?
When do we think about it, if we have this spare time, we might as well continue to use the current technologies."
"That's right!" Luo Qi agreed in a very stupid way, and then added in a particularly wise tone: "If it's gone, it's gone. How can reverse engineering be so simple? Even if there is a physical object, it may not be able to be copied. Otherwise, you can see the wooden
Wei Ling, if aliens can still build planetary engines, why not wait until today?"
