Brother Yi could already imagine the scene at that time. Io didn't have to fight back at all. He could be invincible by charging forward with his size, overwhelming the human fleet... He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and asked with an unprecedented solemnity:
"Lao Qiu, what is the yield of our largest nuclear bomb?"
"One hundred million tons." Qiu Tianning said without thinking.
"How big can it be made? I mean, what is the maximum yield it can make?" Brother Yi asked again.
Qiu Tianning said: "I don't know about this either. I have to ask the design institute. Three to five billion tons should be no problem, right?"
"Ask, ask the design institute to come up with the design drawings as soon as possible. We can build it with as much yield as we can. I don't believe it can't be destroyed!" Brother Yi banged his fist on the table.
Qiu Tianning sighed: "No matter how big you make it, it can't compare to an asteroid."
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't they hide in the end? It must have been a threat from No. 3, so they took the initiative to avoid it." Brother No. 1 analyzed, "What would be the equivalent of a collision with No. 3?"
"I haven't asked about this, but even if we can build a billion-ton nuclear bomb, its power cannot be compared with that of an asteroid." Qiu Tianning said, "The thrust of our super engine is too low, otherwise it would not be able to make Jupiter run away."
Already."
The size of the boulder cannot exceed the thrust limit of the super engine, otherwise even if the boulder is successfully separated from Phobos, it will miss the target because the speed is too slow. All boulders attacking Io have been carefully calculated and verified.
If the super engine couldn't push it, how could the military only choose a megaton fragment?
Brother No. 1 waved his hand: "The super engine is already our limit. Is it possible to bury a nuclear bomb in the satellite like in the novel?"
This time it was Qiu Tianning's turn to smile bitterly: "How can we have so many nuclear bombs? We can't make so many nuclear bombs even if we use all the nuclear materials in reserve. Can you imagine how big a mountain a pile of millions of nuclear bombs would be? Can you imagine making so many?
How long does it take to build a nuclear bomb?”
Brother No. 1 shook his head: "I only know that the global stockpile of nuclear bombs before the war was less than 20,000, and including those manufactured after the war, the total was less than 100,000." Before he finished speaking, he sighed to himself, "The more I think about it,
The more I can do it, what the hell, what the hell..." He banged the table again and again, his heart filled with helpless fragility.
Only now did he realize that in the face of the absolute strength of aliens, humans are just stumbling children and are not qualified to be aliens' opponents.
He had a hunch that if the aliens had no ulterior motives, the Second Fleet of the Expeditionary Force would have no chance of winning. It would be normal for the First Fleet to be annihilated and the Third Fleet to return without success.
Qiu Tianning blew out two puffs of turbid air from his nostrils, stood up and said, "I'll go make arrangements first."
Brother Yi nodded: "Go ahead and report the results immediately."
"Don't worry." Qiu Tianning turned and left, leaving the exhausted brother in silence.
He had tried his best to think the worst of the situation, but he didn't expect that the real situation was worse than expected. How could he find a way out among the aliens?
The only habitable planet in the solar system is the Earth. Humans are nothing without the Earth, and aliens are bound to acquire the Earth.
Leaving the solar system?
Human beings do not have the ability to build starships. How many people can be taken away with only a spaceship? Moreover, the effect of hibernation is limited. Injecting hibernin only slows down the metabolism, not the "freezing of time" that is similar to cryonics.
The more Brother Yi thought about it, the more disappointed he became. He could not find any hope of breaking the situation. He had a suffocating feeling of sinking to the bottom of the water, as if human beings had fallen into the water but could not see any hope of rescue.
After Qiu Tianning left, he immediately assigned the task. The design institute immediately mobilized elite troops and tried its best to design a super nuclear bomb. Tiangong immediately turned the space telescope aimed at Jupiter to Jupiter.
Not only that, Qiu Tianning also requested information related to Jupiter from Washington and other members of the base group through the intelligence cooperation mechanisms of various countries.
It is not difficult to obtain information about Jupiter, at least it is much simpler than designing a super nuclear bomb. After a while, Qiu Tianning received a reply from Tiangong and obtained the latest Galileo satellite photos.
Judging from the photos, there are traces of alien activities from Io to Callisto, of which Ganymede has the most and Io the least. The conditions inside the satellite cannot be seen just from the alien structures on the surface of the satellite.
There is no accumulation of debris or the like on the surface of the satellite.
Qiu Tianning didn't know the specific composition of those satellites, but the mineral deposits on both planets and satellites contained a large amount of impurities that had to be purified before they could be used, and aliens were no exception.
When purifying and smelting, there won't even be any waste residue, right?
But then I thought about it again and felt something was wrong. According to the information I had obtained before, aliens used insects to do whatever they did. They also used insects to make smelting problems. If they ate the ore here, they could pull out the purified metal there.
The waste and metal can be excreted separately, or you can get what you want by simply picking the metal out of the waste... The process is a bit disgusting, but the more Qiu Tianning thinks about it, the more likely it is.
In this way, the waste residue can be thrown directly into the mine and separated and processed on the spot without sending it to the ground at all.
There is no evidence based on imagination alone, and there is no way to prove the previous speculation. And judging from the situation at hand, no conclusive evidence can be found for a while. Qiu Tianning put away the photos in despair and issued an order to the intelligence department to pay close attention to Jupiter.
, and implicitly reminded the intelligence agencies to pay attention to whether aliens have any signs of building large-scale equipment.
The intelligence department that received the order was confused for a while. What does building large equipment count? Which of the things built by aliens on Jupiter's moons is small?
If the order was not followed accurately, it would be impossible to execute it. The top leader of the intelligence department could only bite the bullet and ask Qiu Tianning for clarification.
Qiu Tianning's answer is very simple. What you see doesn't count. What I said, you will definitely understand what I mean when you see it.
After thinking about it, I added, don’t just pay attention to Jupiter, also observe Saturn and other celestial bodies in the outer solar system to see if there are any alien activities, and try your best to get first-hand information about aliens.
The intelligence chief still didn't understand what was going on, so he could only convey Qiu Tianning's original words to his intelligence analysts.
Alien intelligence is hard to come by, and receiving such an ambiguous order made all the intelligence agents extremely helpless. If it weren't for the position, those impulsive intelligence agents would have wanted to rush to Qiu Tianning and ask him who this person was.
What a bullshit order.
But the intelligence agents are just thinking about it. How dare they speak nonsense in front of the Minister of Defense? How many white hairs does this courage have to grow?
