He Xingzhou didn't just do it on the spur of the moment. The space fortress is a type of space military weapon and they have built it before.
But most of them are small space fortresses. What He Xingzhou proposed this time is a large space fortress, which can even be said to be giant.
"Is there enough time?" He Hongwei worried, "In four years, the Pleiades fleet will come to the solar system. We still have to set aside a certain amount of time to sail and fight."
"Absolutely." He Xingzhou opened the star map and positioned the territory to Mars.
On the periphery of Mars, there is a satellite orbiting it.
That was the former Phobos. Because its mass was too small, Noah's Insect King smelted Phobos and Deimos together, and added materials transported from Mars to create a space insect nest.
During the Martian War, this space insect hive was destroyed.
Later, due to scientific research and military needs, He Xingzhou had people reconstruct it.
Today, some military facilities are built on it and become part of the outer space defense of Mars.
He Xingzhou said: "Build Phobos as a whole into a giant space fortress! Give it a thruster and launch it to the Kuiper Belt. It can attack Pluto or lurk in the Kuiper Belt as a support!"
"Such a big space fortress!" After hearing He Xingzhou's plan, the commanders couldn't help but sigh, "Then its size and mass are probably comparable to a Star Destroyer!"
The original Phobos had a diameter of 22,000 meters. After being recast by the Zerg, its diameter was as high as 30,000 meters, changing from an irregular body to a regular sphere.
Its mass is greater than all human L7-level battleships combined!
He Xingzhou said: "I have done the math, and now it is our most suitable target. If Phobos is built into a space fortress, it can accommodate five million soldiers and hundreds of millions of weapons."
"Mercury and Venus are too close to the sun, and there are no large-mass satellites, and the Zerg has not built a space insect nest. There is only one moon on the Blue Star, and the tidal interaction between the Moon and the Blue Star does not affect the ecological stability of the Blue Star. So that we can transform it and take it away.”
After hearing what He Xingzhou said, everyone was secretly shocked. It turned out that the commander-in-chief had actually thought about transforming the moon into a space weapon and driving it away!
"Phobos has been modified by the Zerg. The overall material strength is no less than that of our space battleships. Coupled with the modifications in recent years, if it goes well, we can complete its modification within two years and then drive to Pluto. Attack Pluto.”
"Space hydrogen bombs, electromagnetic guns, large electromagnetic rail guns, infernal rays, proton weapons, and resonance weapons are all arranged for it!" He Xingzhou said, "By then, except for its speed, which cannot reach L9, its firepower and defense are completely capable. Call it a Star Destroyer!”
No one stipulates what shape a Star Destroyer must be. The space fortress in He Xingzhou's imagination is a Star Destroyer with a speed defect!
"Absolutely!" Luo An said excitedly, "In a space war, except for pursuit and retreat wars, it is impossible for warships to maintain peak speed."
"So, as long as this space fortress is built and reaches the Pluto battlefield ahead of schedule, it will be our Star Destroyer!"
"Not bad! This is a great idea!" Everyone agreed. They knew that since He Xingzhou could come up with this thing, it meant that he already had the corresponding manufacturing method.
"This plan is called the 'Scarlet Moon' Battlestar Project."
"Okay, let's start discussing specific matters. Time is very tight, we must act immediately!"
…
After the meeting, He Xingzhou came to Mars.
He did not arrive on Mars, but in the outer space of Mars, where Phobos is located.
Phobos was originally wrapped in green vines, and the Zerg could absorb solar energy to replenish its energy.
That plant has been destroyed by humans, and the ones cultivated by humans cannot power technological weapons, so what currently powers Phobos is a nuclear fusion reactor.
"Commander He." Xie Wu, the commander of the Mars base, was wearing a space armor and inspected the interior of Phobos with him. Some features of the insect nest were still retained inside, and in addition, a human living space was built.
"If we transform it into a military weapon, we have no technical problems in terms of weapons and defense." Xie Wu said, "But in terms of power, it is a bit tricky at the moment."
"Its mass is too large. To push it, we must install enough thruster modules. Even if we add a large number of thrusters to it, another problem will arise. That is the energy supply problem."
"You said you want to drive it to the edge of the solar system, which is almost a light-year away from here! How much energy will it consume? This energy will also supply human life, work and military consumption on the fortress."
"Even if we carry enough nuclear materials, we will only consume 77% of the energy when we drive there. If we encounter enemies, such as Zerg attacks, the danger will be too great!"
"That's true." He Xingzhou was convinced. He looked at Xie Wu and said, "Old Xie, do you still remember the conditions for a planetary beast to evolve into a planetary overlord?"
"Of course I remember!" Xie Wu said, "How can I forget this? Planetary behemoths are nuclear energy behemoths. They have biological nuclear organs and can perform nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. When they evolve into planetary overlords, they can perform heavy nuclear fusion. , using materials such as stones and metals as raw materials for nuclear fusion!"
At this point, he understood what He Xingzhou was thinking, "Commander-in-Chief, do you mean to build a heavy nuclear fusion reactor to become the thruster of the Scarlet Moon Space Fortress?"
"That's right." He Xingzhou nodded, "There has been some progress in the research on the planetary overlord's biological heavy nuclear fusion organ. It is not impossible to transform it into mechanical technology."
"You immediately have people start modifying Phobos, and reserve space for the reactor and thrusters, waiting for installation."
"Okay!" Xie Wu immediately summoned people to handle this matter.
…
He Xingzhou came to the Mars city, the first biological research institute on Mars.
This place was built for the purpose of studying biological warships, and the research on Zerg biological organs is also here.
"Brother Zhou!" Jiang Chan has moved to Mars to work. Mars is a more suitable Zerg research area than Blue Star.
The Zerg on Mars evolved completely based on the different environment of Blue Star, as well as the existence of Zerg in space.
In the base, the temperature, air pressure, and humidity are the same as those on Blue Star, so Jiang Chan wears daily nano research clothes. After genetic modification, her appearance seems to have been fixed at the age of twenty, youthful and beautiful.
"Are there enough research materials on heavy nuclear fusion?" He Xingzhou asked.
"That's almost it." Jiang Chan said, "Through research on the nuclear organs of planetary overlord-level Zerg creatures, we have found the corresponding reaction methods and reaction structures."
She was wearing a smart watch, and when she pressed it lightly, a Zerg biological organ was projected on it.
"For planetary behemoths, the bionuclear energy organs of different planetary behemoths are also different." She said, "General nuclear energy behemoths, that is, the insect king-level Zerg, have bionuclear organs that can only perform nuclear fission, so these Insect kings often carry strong nuclear radiation. They also like nuclear radiation and nuclear materials."
"After evolving into planetary beasts, their biological nuclear organs can perform nuclear fusion reactions, and the temperature of their biological furnaces can fuse hydrogen into helium."
"As their evolution level continues to increase, the temperature of their biological furnaces also continues to increase. The elements that can be fused are also increasing."
"In elementary, intermediate, and advanced planetary beasts, they can gradually fuse helium into carbon, carbon into neon, and neon into oxygen."
"When it comes to planetary overlords, they can fuse these light elements into metallic elements and oxygen into magnesium..."
Jiang Chan refreshed the projection and turned into the Lord of Natural Disasters.
"Among them, the life core temperature of the Lord of Scourge is the highest. Based on the study of its body remains, we believe that its nuclear energy organ, or the juvenile planet devourer, is enough to fuse silicon into iron. This requires at least 300 million If it is a star, then the mass of the star must be at least twenty times the mass of the sun for such a fusion reaction to occur!"
He Xingzhou received all the information and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It is not easy to research these."
Jiang Chan smiled slightly and said: "It's not hard work. These technologies were all obtained from the Zerg for nothing. It is much easier than researching them ourselves!"
If it is a normal research, I don’t know when it will be developed. Heavy nuclear fusion technology can only be developed by at least level 1.7 civilization.
They can obtain it directly by deciphering the Zerg body structure.
"Misfortune depends on blessings." He Xingzhou said with emotion, "The research on Zerg has accelerated our scientific and technological progress countless times."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I am here these days. We are building a heavy nuclear fusion reactor at the Mars Research Institute."
"That's great!" Jiang Chan said in surprise, "I'll accompany you!"
…
After He Xingzhou read all the data, he opened the quantum optical brain, consumed tens of thousands of energy points, and unlocked the technology corresponding to heavy nuclear fusion.
Coupled with the research of Jiang Chan and others, he can directly design and manufacture heavy nuclear fusion reactors with the team.
With previous experience with the Zerg, we did not encounter any problems during the process.
A few months later, a stone was thrown into the reactor at the research base. At an ultra-high temperature of more than 300 million degrees Celsius, the silicon element underwent a heavy nuclear fusion reaction, producing iron element and releasing energy.
"Energy output is stable." Lumi reported the situation.
A hint of joy appeared on He Xingzhou's face and he said, "Now we can really burn rocks!"
"It's really unimaginable." Beside him, the teacher Zhang Boyan said, "We can do the ancient legend of turning stone into gold!"
After a stage of genetic modification, Zhang Boyan's lifespan was extended to about three hundred years.
Due to modification technology and human body quality, the number and duration of genetic modifications that each person can undergo are different. Zhang Boyan can only undergo one stage of genetic modification. For him, he is now in his prime.
"With this, we can make satellite thrusters." He Xingzhou said, "Not only that, we can even make asteroid thrusters and even planetary engines!"
Everyone couldn't help but fantasize about using this technology to make a planetary engine and using human power to push the entire planet to move. What a shocking scene it would be!
"Now that the test has been successful, let's build our asteroid thruster directly!" He Xingzhou said.
…
The construction of Scarlet Moon went on schedule, and two years later, Scarlet Moon was completed as scheduled.
He Xingzhou, He Hongwei, Xie Wu and other commanders attended the completion ceremony.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary satellite, even more "angular" than before.
This is a modified camouflage that makes it look like an ordinary satellite.
On the inside, it has already been completely renovated.
"We spent twenty years transforming the interior and exterior. After the Scarlet Moon Project was proposed, we spent another two years adding the latest weapons and asteroid thrusters to it."
"Today, the Scarlet Moon has become a super battleship. Although its sailing speed is only 70% of the speed of light of the L7 level, its firepower and defense have reached the L9 level, making it an unconventional star destroyer. Ship!"
Unconventional Star Destroyer is a definition in the virtual universe. Not all Star Destroyers built by civilizations can increase their speed to Level 19, so those warships that do not meet the speed requirements but meet the requirements in other aspects are called unconventional Star Destroyers.
"Congratulations on the successful completion of Scarlet Moon!" He Xingzhou announced, and millions of soldiers on site cheered in unison.
This scene has not yet been broadcast on the Blue Star Alliance, because today, when the Red Moon is completed, they will go on a mission.
The alliance will not announce this until the war begins. This is a surprise war and cannot be announced in advance.
"In the name of the Blue Star Alliance Command, I now appoint Meng Hai as the commander of the Scarlet Moon Battle Fortress." He Xingzhou said to the sturdy soldier in front of him.
Meng Hai was the captain of the Z-3 space battleship during the previous Battle of Venus. After pulling the Lord of Natural Disaster to the limit, the battleship was destroyed.
Because of his excellent military qualities, he was now appointed as the commander of the Red Moon.
"Thank you for your trust, Commander! Meng Hai will definitely fulfill his mission!" Meng Hai saluted.
Red Moon will carry five million soldiers and billions of robot soldiers to the battlefield.
He Xingzhou continued: "Red Moon will go to Pluto immediately."
"In addition, the first detachment of the Blue Star Fleet, the first detachment of the Mars Fleet, the Venus Fleet and the Mercury Fleet are all dispatched, led by the Scarlet Moon, to prepare to attack Pluto!"
Pluto is far away from Blue Star and Mars. Even at the speed of light, it takes 4.6 hours to get from Blue Star to Pluto.
The normal traveling speed of the battleship is maintained at 50% of the speed of light, and including the acceleration and deceleration process, it also takes about twelve hours.
The fleets have long been ready to attack Pluto. They have been preparing for two years, from reconnaissance intelligence to formulating tactics, preparing weapons and supplies.
"We have to be fast. We must capture Pluto before the Zerg from other planets come to help, so as not to be attacked by other planet devourers."
He Xingzhou issued an order, "Planetary orbital gun, launch in three minutes, target, Pluto!"
The planetary orbital gun will finally be put to use. It will destroy the largest surface insect nest on Pluto from a distance of 6 billion kilometers!
