In Guanghan Base, an Earth-Moon sightseeing spacecraft launched from Saudi Arabia is performing landing procedures.
This spaceship, numbered SAVIP-1001, was specially customized in China to repay the support of old friends. Today is its maiden voyage. Therefore, a large number of rich people went down to the closed airport, and even took videos and photos of themselves on the spiral staircase to express their visit.
Of course, the main purpose is to highlight the large customized spacecraft modeled after Wenyue behind him.
Just as everyone was taking photos, the radio suddenly sounded.
"Dear passengers, please note that due to an emergency, please leave the site quickly." At the same time, the main control cabin of the SAVIP-1001 spacecraft also sounded an emergency takeoff and evasive prompt.
Upon hearing the prompt, tourists wearing traditional robes looked sideways at the sky. When no passenger flights were seen, some people immediately protested loudly.
"Why? What's the emergency?"
"We haven't finished it yet!"
"We still have a lot of luggage on the spaceship! According to the plan, we applied for a twenty-minute stay!"
"I want to complain!"
As everyone protested loudly, within a minute, the broadcast rang again.
"Sorry, passengers, please carry out the site tour as planned. I wish you a pleasant journey."
Hearing this, the tourists who were angry just now suddenly beamed with joy - it seems that the threat of complaint is indeed effective!
Everyone wasted time and continued to visit the newly built airport.
Many of these people have been here before, even more than once, but this is the first time they have had the opportunity to come here on their own country’s special plane... Therefore, the group photos mostly show them standing at the exit, with themselves and behind them. The spaceship with the national flag printed on it remains in the picture.
As a result, most people saw a small spacecraft passing through the transparent dome with a "swipe" and flying towards the outside of Guanghan Base.
…
Ye Ming did not take the gangway, but jumped directly from the port window more than two meters high wearing a thick down jacket.
His move frightened Director Niu and Su Zi, who were standing behind the closed door in front.
After a while, Ye Ming jumped into the closed passage.
After the closed door was closed, Director Niu and Su Zi quickly stepped forward to take off his spacesuit.
"Are you really jumping?"
"The gravity of the moon, why don't you dare to jump? I have wanted to jump for a long time." Ye Ming retracted his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Is Lao Qin presiding over the meeting? Which floor is it?"
"Yes, it's on the first floor."
"Okay, then let's go straight there. I think we can just catch up with the arrival of the rice grains."
Director Niu nodded without saying much.
After receiving the news, Ye Ming only took more than ten minutes to reach the moon from the space shipyard, and even staged a sudden stop, which could explain all the problems - he believed that along the way, Ye Ming had also been He was paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, so there was no need for him to say more.
After throwing off their space suits, the three people strode towards the conference room on the first floor.
"Academician Ye will arrive soon. At present, we mainly need to figure out the enemy's artificial wormhole technology..." General Qin's voice passed through the soundproof door, very quietly.
Ye Ming pushed open the door.
"Yes, we took it too much for granted before, thinking that the enemy's mothership has the same weight as the aircraft carrier in human war weapons. At worst, it is the same as our Xia-class aircraft carrier, which is responsible for the task of hyperspace teleportation."
Ye Ming kept talking and walked directly to the empty seat next to General Qin.
"I have already made this kind of mistake once, and I will never make it again in the future." After Ye Ming sat down, he made a very sincere self-examination.
Everyone looked at each other. Although there was worry in their eyes, everyone knew that this was not the time for anyone to make a self-criticism, and... it was not Ye Ming's turn to make a self-criticism!
So many generals immediately started fighting, saying that it would not happen.
Ye Ming waved his hand, then looked at General Qin: "I thought about it on the way here. The executor's technology should be the same as the idea used in our sky patching project, which is a patchwork mechanical mechanism."
"With this kind of design, or in other words, for a functional ship that can perform this kind of mission, the design of its head must be specially designed."
"We also discovered it." At this time, General Qin nodded and pointed to the virtual screen on the desktop: "This is the latest radar imaging."
Ye Ming hummed slightly.
He had seen this scene in his mind countless times.
In the picture, the enemy fleet has summoned twelve main battleships and seven destroyers through this artificial wormhole that appeared out of thin air!
And there are "constant" warships emerging at a rate of nearly one per minute.
And every functional ship has been shown to be locked by at least two grains of rice.
As for the rice grains, since the Auriga fleet is relatively close to the enemy, about a hundred light seconds - there is no way, the enemy fleet without the drag of the mothership is indeed faster than humans, plus the mission of the Auriga fleet Just following and charging, the remaining fleet of the Executor gradually distanced itself during the crazy escape in the past few days - the 23 rice grains of the Auriga fleet have accelerated to 20% of the speed of light, and will fly at the highest speed. At a speed of 30% of the speed of light, it hit the target one minute later.
As for Mi Li, the six Xinsong-class battleships of the Ursa Minor Fleet, because they are farther away, they will hit the target in two and a half minutes.
As for why the fastest rice grain, which can reach 30% of the speed of light, takes so long to run for one hundred light seconds, the main reason is the time it takes, most of which is used in early locking and acceleration.
"There is still one minute, but this is not the verdict of fate." Seeing everyone staring at Mi Li nervously, Ye Ming exhaled slightly and said softly: "Even if Mi Li cannot destroy the target, it is unlikely that the enemy can." Call for more.”
General Qin immediately turned his head: "Why?"
"Because of the energy, hypothetically the energy requirements of an artificial singularity would be huge."
Following Ye Ming's voice, the enemy fleet has begun to intercept on the screen.
For a time, the sky was filled with fireworks.
Ye Ming ignored the picture and scanned everyone's faces one by one. After making sure that everyone was looking at him, he said again: "I still want to review it. Although I reported the situation when the Blue Star left the post of Dali Si Muduo, Sir’s reminder, but personally, I still don’t want to believe it too much, or… I don’t really want to see humanity fall into such a level of war.”
On the screen, there are already rice grain marks showing that they have been shot down.
But Ye Ming still ignored it.
Everyone also looked at Ye Ming, ignoring the ongoing interception.
Ye Ming continued in a deep voice: "The reason is very simple, because it means... we will engage in an endless war for resources with an unknown enemy - until one side runs out of resources or technology is crushed. style improvement.”
Everyone was silent.
General Qin raised his brows, then frowned for an instant. In silence, he opened his mouth, but said nothing.
As the commander of Taiyue, he certainly knows what will happen when the war falls into a rhythm that has no technical content and relies only on the accumulation of troops.
Yes, human industrial capabilities are indeed very impressive. Everyone is even confident that humankind's industrial capabilities, with the help of Aita, will be recognized throughout the universe!
But...the enemy is unknown.
No one knows which civilization the executor comes from, how big the civilization is, and how many resources are available...
If we really continue to fight and fall into an endless war that can even be said to last for eternity...are we going to wipe out the entire solar system, Andromeda, and Triangulum?
Moreover, by that time, the life of human society will never be what it is now.
"But now it seems...the enemy didn't give us a chance, they just wanted to do this."
Ye Ming took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
But just a moment later, he opened his eyes: "In the next battle, we don't have much to rely on. We can only rely on the main gun and the rice grains that have reached their limit."
"Then... can we develop that technology?" A general pointed at the screen, but did not dare to look at it: "This kind of teleportation technology."
"able."
Ye Ming finally took a look at the picture, and a gorgeous firework came into his eyes. At the same time, the dense gravity source marked in the picture disappeared instantly.
Ye Ming blinked his eyelids and smiled for the first time.
"With this technology, you can get pregnant at a glance - but that's not the key, the key is..."
Ye Ming slowly looked at everyone, but did not finish his words.
At that moment, everyone saw out of the corner of their eyes that a grain of rice broke through the defense and destroyed one of the enemy's functional ships. Therefore, everyone's expressions relaxed at the same time!
As long as the enemy's "summoning spell" is interrupted, you can breathe a sigh of relief.
General Qin also exhaled softly and said those words for Ye Ming in a deep voice.
"The Wartime System."
Ye Ming nodded slowly, with a solemn expression on his face.
Yes, the wartime system.
Once this meat grinder mode of relying on the accumulation of troops to maintain the front is fully activated, mankind will have no choice but to activate the wartime system.
However...the human world, which has been peaceful for decades...can it accept it?
In other words, are mankind's technological breakthroughs so far only for space wars?
Moreover, it is a war that humans cannot see!
There was silence in the conference room. Even if two more enemy functional ships were destroyed, it still couldn't shake everyone's expressions.
…
S10 number.
Yang Wenzhi and others have returned to the conference table.
The twelve of them, as captains and temporary enemy headquarters, apart from controlling the spacecraft to release rice grains for long-range attacks, their more tasks or roles are from the perspective of the fleet they control, and even the entire imperial army. Let’s think about the problem on the battlefield in the Virgo Galaxy.
Although it was delayed by a few seconds compared to other places, they still received the message that the enemy's "summoning array" had been destroyed.
This information finally relaxed their tense heartstrings.
"3 out of 18, and the interception firepower this time is more intensive than last time, but this hit rate is enough. This means that our judgment is correct. When Mili reaches the maximum terminal speed, it really wants to intercept It’s very difficult.”
"But we can only get one out of six..."
"Didn't you see how many reinforcements came from the other side?"
"Twenty-one."
"Oh shit……"
Everyone pretended to chat, but their eyes were fixed on their own rice grains.
In thirty seconds, the six rice grains they released will arrive on the battlefield.
"Now the command center is determined not to care about us." Yang Wenzhi deliberately refused to look at the radiant scene and continued: "What about our six spaceships?"
"Cold salad!"
"..."
"Now the enemy fleet had twenty-nine ships left before, and now it has summoned twenty-one more, and it looks like they are all battleships and destroyers, which means there are fifty in total..."
A voice suddenly sounded: "Forty-eight!"
Yang Wenzhi's voice stopped suddenly. He looked at the screen suddenly and saw that two of the six rice grains hit the target directly.
"Well done!"
"Good guy!"
"Whose? So lucky?"
"My mine!"
Amid the commotion, they saw that there were only eight functional enemy ships left on the battlefield map.
Yang Wenzhi raised his eyebrows, and in an instant, his breathing became rapid. He stood up and said loudly: "Let's shoot out the last six rice grains and concentrate the target into ships - the enemy's summoning array requires eight ships! "
"good!"
A minute later, the missile commanders released the last grains of rice.
The result of the battle will not be confirmed until twenty minutes.
During this period, they naturally couldn't wait any longer.
Returning to his seat, Yang Wenzhi took a few quick breaths to calm down. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly said: "Everyone, there are only three ways before us now."
"First, we rely on our energy reserves to fight with bayonets at close range, just like we did a few days ago - if we can sink a ship, we will make a lot of money."
"Second, we will turn around now and meet up with the Auriga fleet that is making maneuvers, and then merge with them and act as a group."
Following his voice, all the commanders shook their heads.
Obviously, these two options are not very acceptable to them.
The former means that they will lose the battleship and then miss the next battle. And the latter means... they will disappear into the background.
Since the bosses selected them and gave them great authority, they naturally don't want to see them like ordinary people - otherwise, why send them to the spaceship?
"What about the third one?" Zeng Yuanhai asked immediately.
"That is, we keep a relatively safe distance, flank and hang the enemy."
Yang Wenzhi exhaled slowly: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue. The sixteen-character secret, I think, is no problem even in space battles."
"Have you not noticed? If you exclude Mi Li, our current firepower and speed are actually not comparable to the Executor's. Even now... our scale cannot compare."
"This situation is so similar to our army a hundred years ago!"
Zeng Yuanhai was stunned: "You mean, we fight guerrilla warfare in space?"
"Yes!"
