"What is the specific situation, have you confirmed the identity of the opponent and the number of warships, and how long will it take to reach the vicinity of the solar system defense ring?"

Wednesday, October 2055, 8.

imperial capital.

Alliance Headquarters Building.

As soon as Xu Lei walked into the meeting hall, he took the initiative to ask the representatives of the representatives present about the discovery of the unknown extraterrestrial civilization fleet in the Kuiper belt, and wanted to confirm the detailed information of the enemy first.

"This is the only picture recorded by the monitoring device. Let's take a look first." Yu Hongliang, who looked sad, finally relaxed his brows when he saw Xu Lei finally came, and quickly played the relevant picture on the virtual screen in the hall again.

It can be seen that there are six clear battleships in the picture.

Judging from the length, they are all medium-sized warships.

However, due to the limited coverage of the screen, it is not yet possible to determine whether there are other warships around the six medium-sized warships.

However, judging from past experience, the number of warships is probably not much more.

After all, there will never be only main battleships in the fleet.

But when Xu Lei saw the appearance of these warships, his pupils shrank suddenly.

I was very surprised.

Because although there is no obvious information mark on these warships, it is impossible to judge the civilization they belong to, but their body size is the standard baby cicada monkey style.

And this form of medium-sized battleship is very suitable for the medium-sized battleship of the pioneer empire.

You must know that the Alliance owns one.

But if it is really the fleet of the Herald Empire, according to the normal situation, they should definitely not appear in the Kuiper belt now.

At the beginning, the bishop-level pioneer Mesti, a member of the royal family, was captured.

The information about the pioneer star has basically been mastered from the other party.

far from the solar system.

Based on the sailing speed of a medium-sized battleship alone, it will definitely not be able to reach it in decades.

"What the hell, is it possible that these warships are equipped with curvature space engines?"

Faced with this situation, Xu Lei's heart was full of question marks, and he couldn't help murmuring softly. Although he boldly came up with a lot of ideas, he quickly rejected them all.

No exaggeration to say.

If the pioneer empire fleet wants to reach the solar system in such a short period of time, unless all their warships are equipped with space curvature engines to force the warships to speed up to the speed of light.

You must know that the length of a medium-sized battleship is as high as 2000 meters.

I don't know how many times bigger than the spaceship.

If you want to reach the speed of the light-speed spacecraft, you must carry a large number of curvature space engines.

The cost will be unimaginable.

It is even more wasteful to use it on a medium-sized battleship.

The key is that as far as he knows, the pioneer civilization has never mastered the light-speed curvature engine technology.

Otherwise, Moss would have taken over the solar system earlier.

So this assumption does not hold.

But the most urgent task now is to determine the identity of the enemy as soon as possible.

and develop a response plan.

Regardless of whether the other party is the pioneering imperial fleet or not, since it is possible to risk violating the rules of the Galactic Civilization Administration and force the fleet to enter the solar system, it must have a very firm determination.

For the solar system, this must be the most severe test in history.

If the prediction is correct, the enemy will definitely launch a crazy attack after entering the solar system, striving to occupy the solar system in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, the alliance will be under greater pressure.

The key is a total of six medium-sized battleships, and the three fleets of the alliance are absolutely irresistible.

In addition, he is also very aware of his own strength.

Although the body became very powerful after fusing so much living gold, it was still very dangerous to face the neutral particle cannon of the battleship.

Only one battleship can be pinned down at most.

There are five battleships left, which can still easily destroy various space defenses in the solar system.

Even directly implement long-range strikes on cities on the moon and Mars.

With the planetary defense system humans currently have, there is simply no way to defend.

It was not known how many casualties would result.

It can be said that in just one day, the solar system has changed from a stable and safe state to an extremely dangerous and urgent one.

No one knows what the final outcome will be.

And just when Xu Lei was deep in thought, thinking about why things turned out like this, he only heard the voice of Councilor Enoch in the conference hall: "According to our preliminary analysis, it is basically certain that this is the fleet of the Herald Empire, although I don't know Why can they reach the solar system in such a short period of time, but there is no doubt that the crisis has arrived."

These words also made the faces of the representatives present sink.

For the time being, no one can come up with a countermeasure.

Obviously the solar system has entered the right track of development, but now this kind of thing happens again.

It was like being poured a basin of ice water suddenly.

The entire venue was silent.

In fact, Xu Lei also believes in the judgment of the alliance.

I think Enoch is right.

The fleet currently in the Kuiper Belt should belong to the pioneer civilization.

It's just that he can't accept it.

There are more than 100 intelligent civilizations in the main galaxy, and the cultures of different civilizations can be clearly seen on the core strength of battleships.

No one would want to imitate other civilizations.

Therefore, the civilization that uses the style of battleship in the virtual screen can only be related to the pioneer empire.

Although this kind of sailing speed is very unreasonable, it is obviously useless to worry about these things at this moment.

After all, the enemy fleet will not stop advancing.

In this regard, Xu Lei's thinking was running quickly, and he immediately asked again: "Aside from these, is there any more detailed information about the enemy fleet?"

As the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy and win a hundred battles.

Now that the identity of the enemy is clarified, it is best to understand its strength first.

Know the number of their warships.

Only in this way can an effective response plan be formulated based on relevant data.

Facing this problem, Yu Hongliang next to him shook his head with a complex expression: "This time the enemy was very vigilant and destroyed all the monitoring devices after discovering the existence of them. The current situation in the Kuiper Belt cannot be grasped."

When Xu Lei asked about this, he also expected that such a situation might exist, but he still couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes when he heard it with his own ears.

This is equivalent to being unclear about the strength of the enemy.

It belongs to crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Perhaps because he was too worried about the safety of the solar system, Enoch was not idle at this time, and quickly continued to take up the conversation and added: "Based on the speed of the enemy fleet's sailing, at most half a month, they will Through the Kuiper belt to the vicinity of the solar system defense ring."

Everyone at the scene was very, very upset.

The three fleets relying on the Alliance are definitely not the opponents of the Herald Empire Fleet.

Can't even hold back for long.

The result that will be faced at that time is that the defensive ring will be destroyed.

The enemy drove straight in.

Attack Titan Star Mars Moon Earth Star.

Even if they don't intend to wipe out human civilization, I'm afraid they will become each other's slaves from now on.

This is something no one wants to see.

Seeing that the situation was in trouble and no one had a good solution, Yu Hongliang seemed to have thought of something at this time, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Then he turned his attention to Xu Lei, and asked excitedly: "By the way, Mr. Xu, didn't you say that our solar system will soon have three large star destroyers? It shouldn't matter if they are dealing with the fleet of the Herald Empire." Question?"

As soon as these words came out, it seemed like a chatterbox had opened up.

Even the representatives of other congressmen around them also responded one after another.

All focus on the Star Destroyer.

When Xu Lei just answered Earth Star's offline alliance meeting, he made it clear that the large Star Destroyer and the solar system would be supported by Seitan.

Although there is no way to contact Seitan right now, as long as there are large star destroyers, it will be very simple to deal with six battleships.

All crises will be resolved by then.

Thinking of this, everyone seemed to see light in the darkness.

His face was full of expectation.

"Representative Yu is right. Large warships should be far more powerful than medium warships, right?"

"So we don't need to worry at all."

"If that's the case, that would be great."

"Maybe this time we can make the fleet of the Herald Empire come and go, and let them understand that the solar system is definitely not so easy to bully."

……

Under the heated discussion among the crowd, Enoch couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and also asked, "Mr. Xu, when will these three Star Destroyers arrive in the solar system?"

I have to say that Enoch touched on the key points.

As a large battleship, the Star Destroyer is equipped with plasma main guns. Let alone a few medium-sized battleships, it will not be at a disadvantage when facing an entire fleet.

It is a real big killer in the galaxy.

It is no exaggeration to say that just one Star Destroyer is enough to destroy an intelligent civilization.

But the problem is that according to the sub-light speed of the Star Destroyer, it will take a little time to successfully reach the solar system according to the time distance.

It's too late for now.

Perhaps in the end, mankind can rely on the Star Destroyer to wipe out all the invaders, but by then the solar system may already be devastated.

This damage will be permanent.

Although Xu Lei is very unwilling to break everyone's hope, but in the face of cruel facts, recognizing the reality is the most correct choice.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei sighed first, and then replied in a deep voice: "What you said is indeed true. Relying on the Star Destroyer, we even have the strength and confidence to counterattack the Pioneer Stars, but the problem is that there is still a long way to go before the Star Destroyer arrives." A while ago."

"It can't keep up with the enemy's attack speed."

After Xu Lei's last sentence fell, everyone's hearts suddenly turned cold.

It was hard to see hope, but it was extinguished on the spot. This kind of huge gap is really uncomfortable.

But no matter how you say it, it is the most inadvisable to sit and wait for death right now.

Everyone was disappointed, and then they put forward their own suggestions one after another.

Some even set their sights on the Titan star shipyard.

"I remember that our new shipyard on Titan has been basically completed and will start operating soon. Can we hurry up to develop and produce medium-sized battleships?"

"If it can be realized, the fleet and space force can be dispatched to the defensive ring to support and buy as much time as possible."

When the representative of the congressman expressed his thoughts, although the others did not respond for the time being, Xu Lei frowned slightly, thinking that everyone was rushing to the doctor in a hurry.

Not to mention that the Titan star shipyard has not yet been fully completed.

The time it takes to produce a medium-sized warship alone is unbearable for humans at the moment.

It is completely impossible to rely on the fleet and space force to buy time.

In the war of galaxy civilizations, equipment level performance is the last word.

There is a gap that cannot be easily bridged. Even if the Space Force relies on its own mechanical life force to compete with the Herald Empire Fleet for a period of time, the price it will pay will be huge.

Seeing the situation getting more and more chaotic, Xu Lei thought it was necessary for him to stand up and make a decision.

After all, the Herald Empire Fleet is still in the Kuiper Belt, and humans can just use this time to make defense arrangements in advance.

How much can this occupy an advantage.

Otherwise, continue to delay, and wait until the enemy fleet reaches the solar system defense ring, it will be too late.

"You don't need to think about the Titan Star Shipyard, we don't have enough time." Regarding this, Xu Lei first denied the idea of ​​​​the representative of the congressman, and then said: "It's not like we haven't fought against the battleships of the Herald Empire before. , and also won the final victory, I believe it will be the same this time."

"And we're not alone."

"As long as we can hold on for a while, when our large star destroyer arrives, the enemy's fleet will collapse in an instant."

At this time, perhaps because of Xu Lei's self-confidence and the miraculous influence he created, the originally chaotic scene suddenly became calm.

After meeting Xu Lei's firm eyes, it seemed that the fleet of the Herald Empire wasn't so scary anymore.

It seems that as long as Xu Lei is there, everything is not a problem.

In the end, Yu Hongliang was the first to react, and said on the spot: "I recommend Councilor Xu to be the commander-in-chief of this solar system defense campaign."

"I don't have any opinion." Enoch echoed after him.

And as Yu Hongliang and Enoch, the representatives of the two veteran members of the alliance, spoke, other people naturally would not have any objections.

What's more, Xu Lei is the candidate for the commander in everyone's mind.

Others simply cannot resist this responsibility.

At this time, Xu Lei will definitely not refuse again, and said decisively: "I am willing to take over as the commander-in-chief."

Once the campaign commander has confirmed the candidate, the next step is to make tactical arrangements.

This is related to the outcome of the battle.

"Mr. Xu, you may wish to tell us what you think about this battle."

When Xu Lei heard that Yu Hongliang took the initiative to mention this issue, he no longer hid his thoughts, and simply told everyone directly.

"My idea is very simple."

"It still takes advantage of the space force as before."

"Take a tough fight."

"It's best to capture the enemy's battleship, and try to block the fleet of the Herald Empire beyond the orbit of Saturn as much as possible, waiting for the support of our large star destroyer."

The biggest advantage of the Space Army is that it has a strong individual combat capability and ignores the environment in space. This is something that even Pioneer Life cannot do.

If the space force can reach the enemy's battleship and use violent methods to enter the interior of the battleship to seize control of the battleship, then not only the safety of the space force members' lives can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, but it can also effectively prevent the fleet from marching towards the interior of the solar system.

As long as you persist for a while, when the Star Destroyer arrives, it will completely attack and defend the Yi type.

After Xu Lei finished speaking, everyone, including Yu Hongliang Enoch, was immediately impressed, and they all believed that this plan was feasible.

The key is that there is really no other better way right now.

Since Xu Lei is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the solar system defense campaign, he must follow his plan.

Therefore, the plan was finally implemented by unanimous approval.

At this time, three familiar figures appeared on the virtual large screen that originally played the transmission screen of the monitoring device, and they were the commanders of the three fleets of the alliance.

Due to the limited time left for humans, Xu Lei did not hesitate, and after connecting with the commanders of the three alliance fleets, he gave orders.

"Order."

"The First Fleet and the Second Fleet immediately rushed to the defensive belt for support."

"The Third Fleet is on standby on Titan."

……

"It's Commander Xu, I promise to complete the task." The three answered in unison after receiving the order.

Although these two commands are very brief, they represent the safety of the solar system, so no one dares to ignore them.

But in fact, Xu Lei still has an order that he did not say.

That is, if the defensive belt of the solar system falls and the Titan Fortress is destroyed by the enemy, then the mechanical life new humans on the moon and Mars must be prepared for a bloody battle with the enemy.

At this point in the matter, as the three major fleets began to execute orders, at this time Xu Lei should also leave the imperial capital and go to the front line to take command.

After all, he himself is sure to face a medium-sized battleship, which can relieve part of the pressure on the fleet.

But just when he was about to leave, Yu Hongliang's voice sounded beside his ears.

"there's one more thing."

"About the invasion of the solar system by the Herald Empire Fleet, do you want to announce it to all mankind?"

And as he raised this question, other representatives of the surrounding congressmen also started a discussion again. From the perspective of words, there are two viewpoints.

Continue to hide this from the public.

and a full announcement.

Although everyone gave very good reasons, since Yu Hongliang raised it at this time, it is obvious that the final decision-making power has been handed over to Xu Lei.

Xu Lei knew that he had gone to Seitan before, and the alliance hid the news.

It is claimed that it is conducting secret research.

Perhaps this is indeed done for the sake of the stability of civilization, but this situation does not apply at the moment.

Before the large Star Destroyer reaches the solar system, no one knows what the final result of the battle will be, and it is very likely that it will evolve into the participation of the whole people.

In this way, it is necessary to let the public know in advance and prepare for it.

In addition, Xu Lei also believes that facing the greatest enemy of human civilization again will only arouse the fighting spirit of the people.

Make morale more sufficient.

So after thinking of this, Xu Lei hardly hesitated, and made a decision directly: "The Pioneer Empire has caused us great harm and is the enemy of human civilization. Everyone should know about this and hold a press conference as soon as possible Announce it."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Seemingly satisfied with Xu Lei's answer, Yu Hong nodded his head.

And no one objected to this, and the solar system has once again entered a state of emergency combat readiness.
