Well, to put it further, without these accidents, it is estimated that these ship girls would not have come to this world.

Vesta still likes to hang around the company as always, she is very clingy, and the novelty of the universe and starry sky did not last long at all.After all, how can this empty universe have its own white hair that looks good and fun, right? White hair balls can also be rubbed and played.

After a lot of tossing, the Vesta, who replenished today's white-haired energy, finally went to work with peace of mind, and the company whose scalp was numb from the tossing finally entered today's working state.

A relatively important task is to arrange the scanning and scientific research work for the Jupiter system.Of course, due to the nature of this mission, there will not be too many stops and detailed surveys. However, even if you just pass by and scan it in a hurry with the existing technical equipment, the value of scientific research data obtained is much higher than that of Jupiter accumulated by humans in the past. Department of information.

After all, it can be said that I have almost never been there before, mainly relying on the limited data obtained by the astronomical observation system on the ground and a few deep space probes.

The outline of Jupiter is already clearly visible in the line of sight. Of course, in the universe, the distance is actually quite far away, still hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.At the same time, for the first time, the enterprise has an intuitive understanding of the astronomical system on the cosmic scale.

Specifically, it is different from the solar system models seen by ordinary people based on various scientific education. When actually observing the stars in the solar system in outer space, the main feeling is actually "empty".The distances between the main planets of the solar system and between the planets and their own satellites are actually quite far away.

The universe as a whole is actually very "empty", and the distribution of various substances in the interstellar space is actually quite rare. Except for all kinds of deadly cosmic rays, the enrichment of substances in the vacuum interstellar space is actually very low .

Not to mention that the soldiers are very excited, including companies that have seen various magnificent cosmic civilizations and interstellar war materials in the star road many times, and they are really exposed to such an environment. one side.Fortunately, there are generally no personnel on the hull of the enterprise, otherwise it would be really shameful.

"Guide, if you want to take pictures or even take pictures with Jupiter, I think it is understandable, but now you need to authorize to activate the scanning system on your ship immediately, our speed is very fast, and the observation time window is not too long At the critical moment, Cortana came out to remind Tu Meizi to do business, "Also, the focus of our observation this time is the Jupiter system. The value of planets in the far solar system other than Saturn is not great at present, so many satellites of Jupiter must Observe, please hurry up."

Although this fleet is currently mainly controlled by Cortana due to the shortage of personnel, based on the management regulations of artificial intelligence, the highest authority of all hardware and software is controlled by the enterprise.Not only this New Era class aircraft carrier, but also other destroyers and frigates in the fleet.

There is no way, although this cortana is mostly related to Star Road, not the original super queen who can destroy the galaxy for a man, but everyone is still a little panicked.In any case, artificial intelligence rebellion is a very real problem, especially now that artificial intelligence technology is developing rapidly, and relevant management measures and regulations are not perfect, which makes people have to be more careful.

After being reminded, the enterprise quickly found the planet observation and scanning system in the operating options of the ship, and then started it.In fact, if the time is not so urgent, it is entirely possible to send a few pelicans closer for further investigation, skipping the surface of the moon to do some detailed inspections, but there is really no such time at present.

But it’s all here, so of course they won’t just let this opportunity pass by. A fleet trip costs a lot. Surface ships can be said to burn money in their boilers, let alone interstellar ships.

So when the fleet skipped the orbit of Jupiter, the speed slowed down slightly, and a Paris-class frigate accelerated away from the fleet and approached Europa, where a series of artificial satellites were stored in the frigate's deployment port. It will be placed in orbits around Jupiter and Europa, and at least one of the other larger satellites will also be assigned.

Jupiter, the big brother of the planets in the solar system, is different from the earth. There are more than 60 satellites on the top of the list, of which Europa is the most valuable.Because its surface is covered with a thick layer of ice, and there may be a liquid ocean under the ice layer, the possibility of life cannot be ruled out.

Although it is only a petite satellite, the activity in the core of the planet itself is not strong, but due to the gravitational pull of Jupiter, its geological activities are very active, resulting in vigorous orogeny and geothermal phenomena. There's a big reason it might have liquid oceans.

In the current solar system, with the level of interstellar development and colonization technology mastered at this stage, Mars is of course a very good first outpost to develop a planet, and Jupiter's satellites are also of certain value.Mercury and Venus in the inner solar system can be called purgatory, while the far solar system lacks the energy supply of the sun. It is not worthwhile to rely entirely on its own nuclear fusion to supply the supply of the artificial ecosystem. It is better to jump to other star systems to find planets in the habitable zone.

For example, the nearest neighbor galaxy is only 4.22 light-years away, or the Trisolaran galaxy a little farther away, you can drive a fleet to try it.

In fact, it seems like a "coincidence" arranged by the pioneers. The first aircraft carrier provided here is the New Era class. Her biggest feature is that it has an advanced unmanned chemical plant, and it has a strong ability to break away from the planetary industrial system. Self-sustainability, including this scanning system, is also installed to detect the resources available on the planet. It may not be so easy to replace it with other aircraft carriers or battleships.

In other words, if a New Era-class aircraft carrier carries a Phoenix-class colony ship, it will be even more powerful for the current process of developing space colonization.

However, I thought it was just a random act of collecting scientific research data, but I didn't expect things to suddenly become twists and turns.

In the process of approaching Europa, the Paris-class frigate suddenly displayed a warning that a large number of heat sources had appeared on the surface of the planet.

PS: Two chapters tonight, adjusting the body, and three chapters a day to pay back what I owe _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 194 Zerg on Europa

"Confirm the attack threat and take evasive maneuvers immediately."

Cortana took over the frigate's control system immediately, just like the enterprise controls its own shipboard fighter at will. Er's height rose rapidly, drawing a long blue light band in the starry sky.

"Matching...the leader, the attack type has been confirmed, it is the US-made 'New Standard BlockⅢ' anti-orbital interceptor."

Of course, there will be no Americans here. They are still tinkering with their own space-time technology on the earth. They use a full set of American mechanical technology. Now, apart from Laomei himself, there are only Zerg.

And to a certain extent, these human technologies have been mastered, coupled with the integration of Zerg biotechnology and Zerg's own "well-informed" technological thinking, Zerg's use of many technologies is even better, such as the engine. Just play with flowers.Although the hypersonic engines manufactured by the Zerg and the engines of various ships, aircraft and even spacecraft, although the technical part was born out of the dedicated contribution of the United States, they have been optimized a lot.

Among other things, due to their special social form, they don't need to consider the economic cost. Compared with human beings, they are more numb than humans. Except for the hard limitations of technology and resources themselves, the use of their technology can be said to be unlimited.

The enterprise's radar also detected a large number of attacks from the surface of the planet, and the dense warning red dots made one's scalp tingle.

The lethality of these Zerg heavy-duty missiles is not the same as that of humans. The interior is full of plasma charges. The armor of the Paris-class frigate can probably handle a few rounds or a dozen rounds. The UNSC ship itself is still very good at sinking. , but if it is filled with a set, it will be G.

In the next second, Cortana activated the point defense array system equipped on the Paris-class frigate, and with the assistance of advanced fire control radar, it intercepted these anti-orbital weapons with high precision.

A large area of ​​light spots shot up from the ice-covered surface of Europa, and most of them returned in vain in the face of the dense defense of the interception system, exploding a large piece of fireworks in the starry sky.

There is one thing to say, in fact, the visual effect is quite beautiful. With the starry sky, frozen planet, and the surface of Jupiter as the background, it has a sense of space opera.However, considering that this is the first battle since the expedition, and it is an encounter, everyone is somewhat nervous.

This place is different from the earth. In naval battles on the earth, even if the ship is lost and falls into the sea, there is a certain possibility of survival. But in the universe, once the ship blows up, how many people on the ship will survive is really uncertain. One can only hope to be able to enter the escape pod in time and eject smoothly.

The frigate carrying out the mission of flying satellites has no name for the time being. It uses a five-digit hull number 11508. The five-digit number itself is different from the three-digit hull number of the surface fleet. The two 1s represent the current fleet. The large organization and the frigate detachment organization belong to, 5 is the ship classification of the frigate, followed by the serial number.

Due to the need to perform equipment use and release tasks, it carried a company of soldiers and some crew members of the technical team, so the big guys in the fleet were still very nervous.

However, as a company that owns starship hulls and is very familiar with these warships, and is no longer a rookie on the battlefield, it is not very nervous.

If they can be sunk by these "many years behind" anti-interception technologies, then it is recommended that these ships should be rebuilt, and remake earlier to save some resources.

"The interception is complete, the ship has left the dangerous area, and the alarm has been lifted."

Cortana reported very flatly that this interception was really not difficult, and it was easy for Baimao to do it by himself. There are too many things that are born out of American technology.

Of course, the soldiers below are still a little excited. Even though the intensity of this small interception is not as good as the exercise, it is the first actual combat in the universe conducted by humans, and they easily defuse the opponent's attack in the encounter. Still quite meaningful.

Moreover, this visual effect is indeed very gorgeous, and it looks completely different from the battlefield in the atmosphere on the earth.

However, after the company confirmed that its warship had left the battlefield, it immediately entered into thinking.

"How can there be Zerg here? Could it be that they have spread from Mars to the entire solar system?"

If this is the case, then the consequences will be serious, and this encounter is a very lucky discovery.This means that the date of counterattacking the moon and even Mars must be advanced as much as possible. The technological evolution of the Zerg is too fast. If you have the resources of a solar system, there is basically no need to fight. It is better to pack up and change your life in the galaxy. .

"Guide, according to the intelligence analysis of the surface scan, these Zerg may have just arrived here not long ago."

At the critical moment, Cortana's speech still pointed to the key point, giving the most important analysis at present.

"According to the preliminary scan of the surface of the New Era aircraft carrier, it can be found that there are a large number of impact crater marks on the surface of Europa. Comparing the surface differences inside and around the impact crater, it can be found that these impacts should have occurred not long ago."

"sure?"

"Artificial intelligence does not lie."

"..."

Baimao found out that maybe it wasn't just those ship girls who followed the sand sculpture netizens...

What they didn't know was that, just like the expedition fleet carried out reconnaissance missions in the outer solar system and collected scientific research data along the way, and put satellites and other scientific research assets in the planetary system, the Zerg also did two things on the road this time. Go to the outer solar system, and at the same time "sow seeds" along the way, release Zerg's nests or advance to the military station on each qualified planet along the way.

On the one hand, it is for the resources of the solar system, and on the other hand, it is for insurance.

Because they already feel threatened.

The world has been shocked by the progress of the Zerg over the past ten years. They are quickly recovering their strength as an interstellar race, but the Zerg is very afraid of the rise of the East Asian region.After years of heavy military campaigns, the Republic was unable to attack, but the Republic was rapidly improving its technological level, and even began to have the ability to mass-produce main starships.

Human beings have begun to walk out of their home planets, and at the same time they have the ability to interstellar wars, it means that Mars is no longer safe. They also need to make two-handed preparations and arrange the back road of "turning into the wind" in advance.

Anyway, what they need most is only one step away.

Now all they need to do is - procrastinate, procrastinate.

PS: Alright, that’s it for today, I have a headache, go to bed early, everyone has free tickets, remember to clear them at the end of the month~

Chapter 195 Intelligence Collection and Situation Changes

"Zergs were found on Europa, and the swarms are spreading to the entire solar system."

The value of this news itself is as important as the scientific research data of the Jupiter system, so the company immediately chose to send it back to Earth.

Although the Republic has not fully understood the UNSC's black technology of FTL communication, it does not need FTL communication in the solar system. Although the PING of normal electromagnetic wave information transmission is a bit high, it is not a big problem and can still communicate.It's just that the power loss for the distance from Jupiter back to Earth is astonishing. Therefore, although superluminal communication is not required, it does not mean that the communication technology that everyone on Earth is accustomed to can be used directly.

There are a large number of base stations on the earth for signal transmission and enhancement, but at the moment when humans have not built too much infrastructure in the solar system, this transmission is a one-shot deal. It can only be said that the communication level is very good, and it can be used without infrastructure. The fleet is good to use.

After that, the fleet will continue to move beyond Pluto as planned, and the Jupiter system is out of control now.

Not to mention that there are not many troops on hand, a thousand people will definitely not be able to control a planet, and the current level of information on the Jupiter system is not enough to support a large-scale battle.

The premise of all military operations is information, terrain information, weather information, political and economic organizational information of the enemy, etc. Without these, it is impossible to organize and implement a campaign plan.If we don't even know where to deploy our troops and whom to fight, of course we can't fight this battle.

This is also one of the purposes of the Republic Navy's large-scale ocean-going training at the same time as the shipbuilding industry was rising.Put in a country's territorial waters, this information can be classified as a national defense secret to some extent.

Just as foreigners are not allowed to test the terrestrial territory, this information is also something that affects the survival of the country.The high seas in the ocean are the "big maps" that everyone needs to master. If you don't have these things in your hands, and the United States is familiar with almost all sea areas in the world, you will definitely suffer a big loss if you go to war.

At present, the solar system is also such a problem for the republic that has just stepped out of the earth. It can be said that "there is almost no field of vision on the map". Even if the United States is willing to share the information they collected in the past, it will not be useful. Finiteness.

It’s okay to carry out the lunar campaign in the future. Once the Mars campaign starts, and the inevitable war with the Zerg in the major planetary systems of the solar system, intelligence and information issues will become very difficult.

This is also the disadvantage of too fast technological advancement. After all, according to normal technological development, a civilization must slowly leave the parent star, and then slowly leave the parent star system. This process will gradually explore and become familiar with the objective world.

Therefore, the launch of observation satellite equipment along the way for this mission is even more significant, which will directly affect subsequent military operations.

Completely eradicate the Zerg from the solar system, this strategic goal has been set at the last Central Plenary Session, and will not change.

In the expression of Yangma’s propaganda, it is——

"We must use the perseverance of Yugong to move mountains and the persistence of Jingwei to fill the sea, and take several generations or even a dozen generations to fight resolutely against the interstellar invaders to defend the justice and freedom of the people..."

After the No. 11508 frigate left the dangerous area, it quickly increased its speed and caught up with the large force.Although this kind of small encounter is actually not dangerous at all, the enterprise can still hear the cheers of the soldiers from the communication.

"High morale is always a good thing."

The company can only silently thank the No. [-] Zerg boss for this morale buff in his heart.

At this time, she could roughly understand why her military commander and instructor would repeatedly emphasize the fine tradition of the army that "start the battle carefully, and win the battle".

In a brand-new battlefield and field, even a small victory that cannot be too small will arouse everyone's collective positive response, and it will also reduce the unknown fear of the enemy in this new environment, which will be more difficult for the next Battles are great.

For example, after Europe’s disastrous defeat in Central Europe, and the subsequent battles of the Zerg, the frontline soldiers and grassroots commanders all felt inexplicable in their hearts. He got up still tied up.

In particular, the North African landing campaign on June 2028, 6 showed clearly that the troops sent by the various parties of the EU coalition forces always hesitated and hesitated when carrying out specific strategic and tactical tasks at the grassroots level.Everyone was staring at the advancement of the friendly forces on their two wings, for fear that they would take an extra step.The top urged the bottom, and the bottom looked at both sides, and then you looked at me and you, and refused to move forward. As a result, when the first wave of Zerg landed and suffered heavy losses, the depth of the battle was not opened in time, and two large-scale fronts broke out in the follow-up The war really took hold in North Africa.

The so-called "the army is not fully coordinated, hesitates and flies wild", is probably the case.

Of course, this is only one aspect of the impact of a small mistake made by the EU coalition forces in the North African campaign. The mistakes made by the EU in North Africa also included many direct command errors. There are also problems with the communication mechanism between the US military and the US military under the framework.

All in all, the fighting is hard to describe. The commanding staff of the army made various mistakes and then shirked responsibility.Not to mention the problem of cooperation between the armies of different countries, even the Central Army Group, which is in charge of itself independently in Italy, also had this situation, resulting in the encirclement and annihilation of six mechanized infantry divisions in one go, and none of the survivors survived. It also shocked the world at that time A major defeat that almost caused panic in Europe.

Later, the countries of the coalition forces jointly issued a firm order of "no retreat in one step", and punished a large number of high-level and low-level officers who commanded wrongly, and the situation improved.

Although the North African campaign finally succeeded in achieving its strategic goal, controlling North Africa and establishing this buffer zone, the price paid was far higher than expected.

It is only confirmed that there are more than 27.6 people killed and missing on the battlefield, and there are countless injured people. Originally, this number could be at least half. It can only be said that the coalition forces have made many mistakes from the top to the bottom. As a result, this bitter victory can only be enjoyed by the Europeans themselves.

In contrast, looking at the Mi Army, there are not so many things. From the Middle East battlefield to the Australian battlefield, although the United States did not play very well, it has been winning all the time.Anyway, regardless of whether a lot of land was actually lost, the battle itself was indeed won.

Then the soldiers of the rice army did not have the redundant "insectophobia" of their European colleagues. On the contrary, they still felt that they were awesome and the bugs were vulnerable.

So, human psychology is amazing.
