1386 The Flaw of Mars

He Lu rolled his eyes: "You're in a hurry, have you forgotten? The brains of aliens are like hard drives. They can write things directly into their brains. What if they write the technology passed down from the past directly into their brains?

Here, what's the result?"

Luo Qi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, and he was willing to refute it, but in the end he had to agree with He Lu's hypothesis, because aliens do have this technology. If there is any ancient technology that has been preserved to this day, it would be much easier to restore than humans.

Luo Qi was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought of the flaw in He Lu's words: "No, no, that's not the case. If they could really do it, they would have occupied Mars long ago. They couldn't wait until today. How long has it been?

They first captured Jupiter and then explored the asteroid belt, but they never thought about Mars. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

This statement immediately won everyone's approval.

For aliens, Mars is a barren land, but for humans it is different. The aliens must know that humans have the ability to utilize Martian resources, and they also know that once Mars falls into human hands, it will become a human invasion

The bridgehead of the asteroid belt, this is not good news for aliens bent on occupying the earth.

To put it more simply and bluntly, hitting Mars is a long-term and steady approach; crossing Mars is a strategic adventure that seeks quick success and quick success.

Alien civilizations are indeed different from humans, but this does not mean that aliens do not have strategic vision... Well, the adventurous aliens are already on the earth, and those who do not like adventure are approaching the earth step by step.

Thinking of this, Ye Han said: "Okay, don't argue. We understand too little. It's pointless to argue about this. Let's just do whatever we need to do."

The debate is over and everyone continues to pay attention to the situation on Mars.

The aliens were not in a hurry to attack, and the defenders were even less anxious. While there was still some time, the defenders took advantage of the opportunity to adjust the fleet. The transport ships that were too late to evacuate, the transport ships that could not be evacuated, and the orbital elevators all flew towards Phobos.

, the super cannon there has been completed a long time ago, which can provide protection for these auxiliary warships. It is the best anchorage and shelter.

Since only the super cannon has been built on Phobos and other auxiliary facilities have not had time to be constructed, the warships that evacuate there can only fall into the craters on the surface of Phobos and then cover them with camouflage nets and the like. The camouflage nets are not enough.

Just dig some soil and bury the battleship.

Although the method is a bit crude, the effect is still very good. Even humans' own warships can be hidden without looking carefully. Hiding it from the enemy is not a big problem.

You have to be careful when burying it. The gravity of Phobos is too low. If you use a little more force, the earth and rocks lifted up can fly away from Phobos.

Because there were too many transport ships and there was a big thing like the orbital elevator, the crater was not enough in the end, so the extra transport ships could only park on the surface of Phobos.

As for Deimos, there is no need to mention it. No one wants to go there at all.

There are also super cannons on Deimos, which can also protect transport ships. The problem is that Deimos is small and there is not much room to place transport ships. Furthermore, Deimos' orbit is over 23,000 kilometers high, which is really far away from the relevant point.

——The super cannons placed on Mars and its satellites are of low level, with insufficient lasers and a maximum range of only 25,000 kilometers, barely bringing Deimos within range.

To put it simply, the three super cannons on Mars and Phobos, as well as the Mars defenders, can cover each other, but Deimos is alone outside, and dividing the troops will dilute the strength of the defenders, and the artillery array coverage is also a bit inadequate.

, so the defenders believed that aliens were likely to attack Deimos and open a path to Mars from here.

To this end, the defenders tried their best to strengthen Deimos and set up a large number of missile positions on Deimos, hoping that these missiles would allow Deimos to persist for a while.

Two days later, the second batch of enemy ships arrived at Mars, along with dozens of asteroids.

The alien fleet immediately launched an offensive and threw asteroids towards Mars. The asteroids were thrown at a very tricky angle, perfectly avoiding the shooting range of the super cannon.

In order to avoid the super cannon, the aliens worked hard and conducted long-term observations in advance. Not only did they determine the location of the artillery array, they also used the experience gained on Ceres to calculate the shooting range of the four artillery arrays.

Not only that, they also took the positions of the two satellites into consideration and deliberately waited for Deimos to move to the other side of Mars.

As we all know, the rotation angle of the laser transmitter determines the shooting range of the super cannon. The two cannon arrays on Mars are located at the north and south poles, controlling 68% of the sky on Mars.

The artillery array on Phobos can also control part of the sky, but the specific areas it controls must depend on where Phobos moves.

The same is true for Deimos. Since the positions of these two satellites are not fixed, the control range of the artillery array is also not fixed. It is not difficult for aliens to avoid the super cannon as long as they find the correct location.

If all the artillery arrays are placed on Mars and the positions are reasonably allocated, the four artillery arrays will definitely be able to control the sky of Mars 100%. The problem is that Mars has never been a good baby. Instead, it is known for its bad temper. Almost every year at the turn of spring and summer, this planet

The bad-tempered red planet will have a large-scale dust storm, and dust storms covering half of the planet are not uncommon at all.

The average duration of a Martian dust storm is a few weeks, but there are many that last longer. The largest recorded Martian dust storm occurred in 1971, lasting from late September to late December, lasting several months.

In the most severe month of October, except for the bright areas of the polar caps, the rest of the surface of Mars was covered by dust storms. The duration and scope of the dust storm were simply appalling.

Compared with Mars, sandstorms on Earth are simply weak.

Of course, global dust storms are not that common, but regional dust storms are commonplace.

Placing the artillery array in the polar regions can avoid the impact of dust storms to the greatest extent. On the contrary, if the artillery array is placed elsewhere, once a dust storm occurs, the dust raised by the strong wind will float thousands of meters into the air and completely submerge the artillery array.

Under the dust, even if the artillery array can determine the target direction through satellites, the beam will be greatly weakened by the dust in the sky.

Because of so many restrictions, the joint command had to place two artillery arrays at the two poles, and then place the other two artillery arrays on satellites.

Designers and construction personnel have mentioned more than once that Mars is really not a suitable place for super cannons. On the contrary, the atmosphereless environment of Ceres and satellites is more suitable for artillery arrays.

The placement of the artillery battery had to be adapted to the environment, leaving quite a few flaws. Now this flaw has been discovered by aliens, so they directly used asteroids to hit Mars.
