After Li Longfang and Zhao Chengming also read this information, they also found it very funny. And Zhao Chengming said directly:
"It seems that these ancient Liao people have always worshiped their gods. But they may not know that their so-called gods are actually alien invaders. If they knew that their so-called gods released viruses in order to save the situation, etc. How do you feel when you try to poison the life of this planet?"
Li Longfang said:
"Maybe in their eyes, everything that comes from the sky is a god. After all, it is impossible for them to know. At least according to the current situation, it is impossible for them to understand enough space knowledge. And if the captain hadn't taken me to a Traveling to places like the moon, it’s hard for me to imagine that all of this is real.”
At this time, Zhao Chengming said again:
"But what tactics did those terrorists of the Galaxy Empire use? When we blocked the attack of Marshal Wangu of the Liaogu Kingdom, we also deployed all our air power, but we didn't see such an effect!"
Zhang Desen said:
"This is very simple, because our aviation force only has 8 aircraft, and they are not specialized bombers. How can we achieve such an effect? The tactics used by the Galaxy Empire to terrorize people are called carpet bombing tactics. This is required There are certain objective conditions.”
Li Longfang and Zhao Chengming were stunned and began to ask Zhang Desen about carpet bombing tactics. Zhang Desen saw that they wanted to know about carpet bombing, so he also explained carpet bombing to them in detail.
The so-called carpet bombing means that carpet bombing is a horizontal bombing method, that is, using a large number of aerial bombs to concentrate bombing on a specific area. Since during bombing, densely dropped bombs cover the entire target area like a carpet, it can maximize the damage and destruction of personnel and equipment in the area.
The targets of carpet bombing can be strategic targets such as population or industrial gathering areas, or tactical targets such as troop concentration areas.
Carpet bombing is mostly accomplished through large formations of bombers dropping bombs intensively, so it is extremely lethal. During World War II, the belligerent countries repeatedly used bombers to carry out carpet bombing of cities under enemy control, causing a large number of casualties and property losses.
As a tactical offensive method, carpet bombing has unique effects. First, carpet bombing can kill an opponent over a large area.
Secondly, the continuous sound of explosions is a panacea for dispersing the enemy's military morale and deterring the enemy. Thirdly, if a large number of outdated bombs are piled in a warehouse and require high storage fees, it is better to throw them into the enemy's positions.
Because of this, the seemingly old tactic of carpet bombing is still a trump card in modern warfare. As long as they have the ability to play this card, both sides of the war will not hesitate to try it.
After listening to all this, Li Longfang said:
"That's fine, let the Liaogu people and those fearful people fight against each other, and then we can slowly reap the benefits."
And Zhang Desen said:
"It's not necessarily a good thing. Although the people of Liaogu are in a hostile relationship with us, they are still human beings after all. So I always feel that I still feel very heartbroken."
And Zhao Chengming said:
"It is true that we humans are in constant civil strife. We now have many powerful enemies, from aliens and from our own planet. But we humans are not only divided into many countries, but there are also these powerful families in the country who are self-righteous. It is really chaotic. ."
At this time, Zhang Desen waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, there are some things we can't control. Let's get ready to participate in this weird stone gambling convention."
Li Longfang and Zhao Chengming immediately said at the same time:
"yes!!!"
However, at this moment, Zhang Desen suddenly saw a person appearing at the door of the trading house, dressed as a handsome young man. But looking at his appearance, he seemed a little too handsome, and Zhang Desen felt very familiar.
Zhang Desen recalled it carefully, but couldn't remember who it was for the moment, so he had to give it up and go participate in the stone betting first.
At this time, the Stone Gambling Conference Hall was finally full of people, but Zhang Desen was waiting because there were special arrangements. So I moved a few steps in the private room and faced the venue directly.
No need to talk to other people.
Immediately afterwards, the stone gambling conference began. But when Zhang Desen took a closer look, he unexpectedly discovered that they did not seem to be the main figures from those powerful families. But after thinking about it, maybe those powerful people like to have puppets to do these things, so Zhang Desen will no longer care about it.
At this time, Zhao Chengming seemed to see Zhang Desheng's doubts and immediately said to Zhang Desheng:
"I just received the news this morning and didn't have time to say it. Those powerful families
It seemed that they suddenly didn't want to directly participate in this stone gambling conference, so many of the people who came were the dependent forces of powerful families. "
After hearing this, Zhang Desen said:
"Then are they going directly to Xidu now?"
Zhao Chengming said:
"No, they seem to want to wander around now. Those people seem to be a little tired of gambling like this all day long, so they simply leave it to others and have some time to themselves. So there are very few truly powerful families here this morning. people."
Zhang Desen said:
"Forget it, it seems that people from these powerful families are not that good, and they all do things so carelessly, haha."
Zhao Chengming said:
"But please don't worry, Captain. Our people will pay attention to every move of those powerful families. Although they are powerful families, their private armed forces can even threaten certain countries. But they do not have the ability to completely ignore them. A country takes them seriously, so we are fully capable of competing with them."
Zhang Desen said:
"What weapons are they armed with?"
Zhao Chengming was stunned and immediately replied:
"For example, take the Huang family. Their private armed forces include 150,000 heavy infantry, 250,000 light infantry, 280,000 cavalry, and 100,000 longbowmen..."
At this time, Zhang Desen interrupted Zhao Chengming and asked:
"That means their weapons are completely cold weapons, right?"
Zhao Chengming said:
"Yes, to be honest, if the captain hadn't brought down the things left by the super ancient humans, how could we have the weapons and equipment we have now? It's just that they have a very large number of people, and they also have weapons such as cannons, plus They have a very intricate network of relationships with dignitaries from various countries, and some dignitaries even use them as their backers, so it’s very troublesome.”
Zhang Desen said:
"Okay, let's forget about them for now. Let's bet on stones now. I always feel that we may have to go to an alien planet again soon."
At this time, Li Longfang, who was observing the situation at the venue, couldn't help but ask:
"Captain, is it because of the disappearance case that happened in Hezhou City?"
Zhang Desen said:
"Yes. And it must be done before the Gomars arrive."
And causing Mingze to ask in confusion:
"But Captain, we still don't know how far away their planet is from us? In addition, our current spaceships are all leftovers from super-ancient humans, and we can't build them ourselves. It can be said that one of them is broken. One. In addition, our current astronauts have not been trained yet, and there are not even many pilots. In general, the only one who can really fight in space is the captain, which is another big problem ah!"
Zhang Desen replied:
"Don't worry, the place we are going to is not their home planet. Unless their mother is in our solar system, because I think if they want to rob our people, they must at least have a transit station in the solar system. It will make it easier for them to detain and transport our people. I even think that this transfer station should be on Mars, which is close to our planet."
At this time, Li Longfang asked again:
"Why isn't Captain on the moon?"
Zhang Desen replied:
"First of all, we have been to the moon. Then, if they have a base on the moon, the Terrorist Olme Empire will definitely react, just like they did to the spaceship I was on and the multiverse travel space channel. ."
Li Longfang suddenly realized and said:
"So that's it. We did even reach the far side of the moon back then. If it were true, they couldn't have even reached a little bit.
There was no reaction. "
At this time, Zhao Chengming said:
"Why is that transfer station most likely to be on Mars?"
Zhang Desen replied:
"Let me talk about the situation on Mars first..."
Then, Zhang Desen talked about the basic situation of Mars. The general content is:
Mars is the fourth planet from the inside of the solar system. The diameter of Mars is about half that of the Earth, its volume is 15%, and its mass is 11%. Its surface area is equivalent to the land area of the Earth, and its density is much smaller than the other three terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, and the Earth).
In terms of radius, mass, and surface gravity, Mars is about halfway between the Earth and the Moon; the diameter of Mars is about twice that of the Moon and half that of the Earth; its mass is about nine times that of the Moon and 1/9 that of the Earth, and its surface gravity is about that of the Moon. 2.5 times of the Earth and 2/5 of the Earth.
Mars is the fourth planet from the inside of the solar system (the first three are Mercury, Venus, and Earth). It is a terrestrial planet with a diameter about half the diameter of the Earth. Its rotation axis inclination and rotation period are similar, and it takes twice as long to complete one revolution. .
In the West, it is called Mars, the God of War, and in China, it is called Yinghuo because it is as bright as fire and its position and brightness change frequently. Its orange-red appearance is due to the fact that the surface is covered with hematite (iron oxide). The prefix areo- in English means Mars. Mars was once considered to be the most likely planet in the solar system to harbor extraterrestrial life.
Mars is basically a desert planet with sand dunes and gravels all over the surface. There is no stable liquid water. The atmosphere, which is mainly carbon dioxide, is thin and cold. Sand and dust are suspended in it. Dust storms often occur every year. Geologically inactive compared to Earth, another unique topographic feature is the clear difference between the northern and southern hemispheres:
There are ancient, cratered highlands in the south and younger plains in the north. Both poles of Mars have polar caps composed mainly of water and ice, and the dry ice covering them waxes and wanes with the seasons.
The distance from Mars to Earth is about 55 million kilometers at the shortest distance, and more than 400 million kilometers at the farthest distance. Close encounters between the two occur approximately every 15 years.
In 1988, the distance between Mars and the Earth once reached about 58.8 million kilometers, and in 2018, the distance between the two will reach 57.6 million kilometers. But on August 27, 2003, the distance between Mars and the Earth was only about 55.76 million kilometers, which was the closest in 60,000 years.
However, according to astronomers' calculations, during the 800 years from 1600 to 2400 AD, Mars was only the third closest to the Earth. According to the calculation results, by September 2, 2366, the distance between the two will be approximately 55.71 million kilometers.
By August 28, 2287, the two will be even closer, with a distance of about 55.69 million kilometers. Generally speaking, the years when Mars and the Earth are close are the most suitable times to land on Mars and observe Mars from the ground.
However, after hearing this, Li Longfang still asked with some doubts:
"However, these are the data from Captain's original universe, but they should not be much different from the actual situation in our universe. But why would an alien civilization set up a station there?"
Zhang Desen said:
"The main thing is that Mars may be closer to the earth. Although it is not as close as the moon, the distance is still relatively suitable. In addition, the Orme Empire has less control over the fear of aliens there, and there is also some atmosphere as a cover, which is conducive to those unknown alien forces. Conceal their whereabouts.”
However, when Zhang Desen and the others were about to continue their discussion, suddenly a huge roaring voice came from the venue, and they heard that voice say:
"Why hasn't it started yet? What are you doing at the Liu Family Trading Company?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, He Youcai, the president of Hezhou Branch of Liujia Commercial Bank, immediately walked out, stood on the stage, and said apologetically to everyone:
"I'm sorry, friends, we are just about to start. We will start now, please be patient."
As soon as these words fell, the stone gambling meeting began immediately.
…
However, at this time, east of Wulangumu, outside the eastern blockade of the Terrorist Galaxy Empire. Wanlu Tianbao, the emperor of the ancient human kingdom of Liao, looked at his retreating army and couldn't help but feel sad and angry.
At this time, Chiliewu ran over and said to Wanlu Tianbao:
"Your Majesty, please retreat quickly. The gods will definitely come back to us and bless us."
Wanlu Tianbao said:
"Where's Beiqiye? Did he find the path and find the god?"
Chilieu said with some sadness and anger:
"Your Majesty, Beiqiye's life and death are unknown now. Because I just saw that those demons also sent their things flying in the sky to rush to the direction of Beiqiye and launched a terrifying attack there. I saw it with my own eyes When I saw that direction, there were also flames blazing into the sky. So I’m afraid Beiqiye won’t be able to come back.”
Wanlu Tianbao shouted:
"Immediately send someone to retrieve Beiqi Ye. If he is alive, he will be seen alive, and if he is dead, his body will be seen."
And Chiliewu said:
"Your Majesty, leave it to your subordinates. I promise to get Beiqi Ye back. The country cannot live without Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please go back first."
Wanlu Tianbao thought about it and knew that the situation was urgent, so he agreed.
However, at this moment, a guard came to report that Beiqiye was back. When Wanlu Tianbao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and summoned Bei Qiye.
Soon, Bei Qiye came to Wanlu Tianbao and explained everything before. After hearing everything, Wanlu Tianbao immediately ordered some people to stay behind to break up the rear, and the remaining troops began to retreat to their capital.
