"It has been preliminarily determined that the approximate locations are within the Kuiper Belt, and that the exact locations require new data for further study, and that they may be hidden in one or more of these objects. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Kane said, "Although the exact location is unknown, knowing the possible location of the other party should also play a role in our actions, right?" ”

"Of course, at least we have a direction to investigate, and we won't still be confused and searching." Lin Hai clenched his fists and said with some excitement, "If we can find the space stronghold of the Sijing people in a short period of time and then destroy them, then even if that fleet is indeed their reinforcement, they will not be able to respond in the solar system, and their strength will be affected somewhat!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Liu Yan asked, "The Kuiper Belt is not a good place to search, so how can we search on such a large scale?" If you send a fleet, it will be easy to be killed if there are fewer of them, and if you send too many of them, it will reduce the combat power of the Earth's sphere. ”

"Unmanned detectors, plus-" Lin Hai said, pointing in the direction of the ground, "those Higra-class destroyers." We're planning to provide that many starships, but to be honest, there aren't many of them that can be of use in this part of the Earth's sphere, so of course we can let them do some other work. ”

"Yes." Kane said, "Until those Higra-class destroyers meet the demand, let's use unmanned detectors for the time being, maybe I need to redesign those detectors so that they don't be easily eliminated by the Sijing people." We also need to upgrade the engines of the unmanned deep space probes, otherwise we won't have much time left to use them after they fly to the Kuiper belt at their original speeds. ”

"The speed of the starship also asks the doctor to put more thought into it." Lin Hai hurriedly said, "At present, the speed of one hundred kilometers per second is not much of a concern in the earth's circle, but it will take more than two years for the survey fleet and the subsequent combat fleet to fly to the Kuiper belt at the current speed." This is absolutely not a no-go. ”

"Of course." Kane replied, "Actually, I'm currently working on a new Starship Engine System, a new product that combines our technology with the technology of the Sjer, and if successful, it should be able to meet our immediate needs, but it will take some time." Of course, if we can study the wormhole control technology of Sijing people in advance, it will be more convenient. ”

"Then, the focus of the current work can be set first." Lin Hai slapped his face and said to everyone, "Our main focus now will be on stabilizing the war situation on Earth in one to two years, at least not worsening, and it is best to maintain the battlefield in North America rather than the whole world." Although this probability is very low, in front of wormhole teleportation, anywhere will become a battlefield. So we have to take the initiative to attack, not to be passively defensive. When the UN GDI meeting begins, we will put forward this proposal, as an active defense organization, how can we defend without taking the initiative? The best defense is offense. ”

"Secondly, it is to expand the space force of mankind, not only our own, but also other people's, and we alone cannot accomplish anything. We need more troops. In addition," Lin Hai looked at Kane again, "that space fortress, I'm afraid that from now on, it needs to be built." Maybe we can add some super weapons to it, like described in science fiction movies and science fiction novels, such as super fortress cannons, which can provide us with more powerful fire support after the alien fleet arrives in the earth's circle. ”

"This may be a bit difficult," Kane replied, "and the fortress itself will take a long time to build, and with our current manufacturing capacity, it will take at least three years to complete it 100% as planned, and during this time, we will need to develop equipment such as fortress cannons and shields, and the time is a little tight." I can give it a try, though. ”

"The sooner the better, but I also know the practical difficulties, so it's enough for the fortress to be completed before the alien fleet arrives, and I don't expect more. You have a lot of work, and you can't put it all into one project, you just have to keep an eye on it and don't forget. Lin Hai continued, "The reconnaissance of the Kuiper Belt should also start as soon as possible, and the sooner we find the space stronghold of the Sijing people, the sooner we can clear them and reduce some of the pressure of possible war in the future." ”

"In other words, a three-pronged approach? Suppress the ground military power of the Sijing people, expand the human force, and explore and eliminate the space force of the Sijing people? Liu Yan asked.

"That's it, that's the basic general direction."

"The last two points are easy to do, but the first point is very troublesome." Liu Yan shook his head and said, "Your plan to expand the strength of GDI has just begun, and there are still many voices around the world that oppose the continuation of the war with the Sijing people, and there are even forces like Japan that plan to form an alliance with the Sijing people to get more benefits, and there are many people like those terrorists who don't care what the current situation is." Therefore, it is almost an impossible task to suppress the ground forces of the Sijing people or even defeat them within one to two years. ”

"That's almost, man." Lin Hai said without discouragement, "Could it be that we don't solve it because it's very difficult, and we have to give up?" When we founded Iron Eagle, it was much more difficult than it is now, but didn't we still persevere? ”

"I mean the factual problem, but I didn't say I had to give up." Liu Yan retorted, "In fact, we are facing many problems that need to be solved, but the time and resources are not completely on our side. Five years may seem like a long time, but building a space fleet large enough to deal with that alien fleet, suppressing the ground forces of the Sijing people, and clearing the strongholds of the Sijing people in the solar system are not easy tasks to accomplish. What I want to ask is, are you ready to fail. ”

"If you don't win, you will lose." Lin Hai smiled and raised his fingers, "That's how I've always prepared. Then he looked at the communications officer, "Contact the other officers, and I'm going to have a video conference right away to assign you all future tasks and my work arrangements." ”

"Sir, I have received a notification that signs of fighting have been found again in the Japanese region."

――――――――――

"Boom!" A ball of fireball exploded from the port side of the bridge of the Burke-class destroyer, and the huge breach was suddenly poured into the ship by a large amount of seawater before the flames disappeared, and soon, this combat ship with a full load displacement of more than 9,000 tons capsized, and if it were not for the rapid response of the ship's damage management team, the destroyer would have sunk directly into the sea, but even if it had not been blown up and sunk due to excessive flooding, this advanced combat ship of the M Army had also lost its combat effectiveness -- the explosion that had just been close to the bridge even deformed the bridge structure. It has already caused many members of the ship to be injured, and the position of entering the water has also rendered all kinds of weapons in the front of the hull useless.

However, the phalanx in front of the hull still fired fiercely in the left direction in the flames, and another fireball exploded fifty or sixty meters away from the hull, which was a missile successfully intercepted by the phalanx system.

And when this Burke-class destroyer lost its combat effectiveness, another destroyer of the same class of the M Army caught up from the rear and blocked the left side of the seriously injured friendly ship, covering the comrades-in-arms to withdraw from the battlefield at a speed of three knots, and their own also continued to fire at the left flank of the fleet with naval guns and missiles.

This is a fleet of four Burke-class destroyers, under normal circumstances, the fleet of four advanced Burke-class destroyers is enough to be proud of the navies of most countries in the world, but now, this fleet, which was originally tasked with performing ground attack missions, is being pressed and beaten by three warships with extremely strange shapes.

Three strange warships that suppress the four Burke-class destroyers of the M Army, two battleships with a three-body structure, the left and right attached hulls are quite small, and relatively rear, and the main hull in the middle is very long, which makes this warship not look very wide, but a bit of a weird sci-fi sense of thin front and thick back.

These two strange trimaran battleships, with two guns on the foredeck that are not small in caliber at a glance, constantly throwing shells at the M fleet as the ship advances, and the hull structure, such as the sides of the bridge, from time to time there are missiles on the sides of the bridge that take off in a vertical way and fly towards the M ship - one of the missiles that damaged the Burke-class was launched earlier.

The firepower of these two warships is fierce, and the defense capability is stronger, none of the Harpoon anti-ship missiles launched by the four Burke-class destroyers can successfully hit them, and all the missiles automatically explode at a distance of about a kilometer from the two trimaran battleships, and what intercepts them is a circle of several laser point defense systems around the bridge of the trimaran battleship, and all missiles with a speed not exceeding the speed of sound cannot break through the interception of these laser weapons.

It was also because of this that the four M destroyers had to shorten the distance between the two sides by approaching at high speed, intending to sink the opponent with the 127 mm naval guns of their four ships.

But when they got close to the range of the ship's guns, the huge figure of the third strange battleship also appeared in their field of vision at the same time, which made the soldiers on the four Burke-class destroyers a little frightened.

It was a huge ship with a towering body, looking down from the air, like a flower with five petals, the center position is a combination of the hull building and the bridge, and there are dense multi-component missile launchers everywhere above and below, and there are as many as eight of them that can be seen by the eye, and on the five petal-shaped hulls, in addition to the one that is used as the bow of the ship, on the other four petals, there is a four-group large-caliber naval gun on each of the other four petals, and there is no fire blind spot at all.

And such a huge warship, not to mention how it sailed on the sea with such a strange structure, the huge size alone had already brought a lot of pressure to those M troops.

If the M fleet can easily destroy the enemy with anti-ship missiles from a visual distance, then they may not have much feeling, after all, such an enemy is nothing more than a matter of launching a few more anti-ship missiles for them. It's a pity that because of the existence of the laser point defense system that exceeded the expectations of the M Army, the M Army could not solve the target with anti-ship missiles alone, and could only approach the decisive battle with the Israeli army, and the sailors of the M Army did not think that they could hold out for long -- the big guy's four-seat quadruple main gun did not look like a giant cannon less than 300 mm, and it was basically dead if he ate a cannon with a Burke-class body.

What's more, such a sea monster, so far, has not fired a single shot, and it has only allowed the two three-hull warships that obviously escorted it to engage the M fleet.

"Boom!" Another Burke-class destroyer was shot, but fortunately this time it was hit by the artillery shells of the opposing ships, and the guns of those trimaran battleships, which looked different from their whole strange appearance, did not exceed human imagination, and the shells only destroyed the hangar and helicopter deck of this Burke-class destroyer, and almost hit the missile vertical system behind the hangar - it didn't matter if it hit, all kinds of heavy missiles loaded inside had already been exhausted, and there was no martyrdom.

However, after being hit by this gun, the Burke-class also lost power and gradually slowed down - that shot did not directly sink the destroyer, but damaged the power compartment below - which made this destroyer even more unlucky than the first friendly ship to be shot, the former could still retreat at least three knots, and this ship could not even move. Especially now that they are still at war, it is also impossible to get friendly ships to help tow them off the battlefield.

Then, more shells flew towards the destroyer, which had completely lost power, and the water column continued to explode around it, and it was getting closer and closer to the hull, and finally, two shells hit the middle of the destroyer, making two large openings in the superstructure - fortunately, not below the waterline - and then an anti-ship missile that had broken through the phalanx rushed through one of the gaps and exploded directly inside.

"Boom!" The middle part of the entire Burke-class destroyer seemed to be pushed up by something, deformed and arched upward, and then that section of the hull instantly expanded and exploded, a large number of flames and debris sprayed out from various breaches, and the entire destroyer became two in a huge explosion, and then quickly sank into the sea, no survivors appeared, and the few crew members who could jump into the sea before the ship sank failed to escape the suction brought by the sinking of the hull in time, and disappeared into the sea with their own mothership.

The four Burke-class destroyers were sunk and seriously damaged, and their combat strength was directly reduced by half.

And their opponents, although the two trimaran battleships were also hit by the main guns of the Burke-class at times, but none of the shells successfully penetrated their armor and caused serious damage, the two trimaran battleships were against the design concept of modern warships without armor and structural resistance, and had a thick outer armor that was different from the design of warships in this era, and the main guns of the Burke-class could not penetrate the armor made of unknown materials, so they naturally could not cause damage to them. (The huge monster ship that followed behind the two trimaran battleships is not mentioned, it neither fired nor was hit anyway)
