The Outland city-states have not neglected to monitor alien creatures and the entire solar system.

In fact, since the war was suspended at the beginning of the new year in the second month, the outer city-states, under the orders of Xu Changqing, have arranged invisible monitoring devices with solar energy as the main energy source in the solar system.

This device is similar to the system of buoys that monitored hydrology in the age of the earth, and once the number is up, the solar system is equivalent to a map for humans.

Of course, the amount needed to achieve the desired effect is a bit dreadful.

Before the construction of the Bowel began, this kind of monitoring ball with a diameter of less than three meters and capable of casting a solar sail ten times the diameter was already on the production schedule, and a batch would be released every once in a while, so that it could wander according to the calculated orbit, and tens of millions of them had been built so far, but it was still far from achieving the desired effect.

But this time, it was they who did it, and in the Kuiper Belt, they found their target.

The region beyond Neptune, known as the Outer Solar System, ranges from 30 AU to 500 AU, and is the world of small celestial bodies, home to short-period comets, such as Halley's Comet.

So far, more than 100,000 objects larger than 50 kilometers in diameter have been discovered in this region.

Of course, even then, their combined mass is less than one-tenth that of Earth.

The structural composition of these small celestial bodies is mainly rock and ice. For the outland city-states, there was little value in mining, so they were left there.

To be honest, Xu Changqing likes the simple and easy-to-understand division brought by their existence.

Like the asteroid belt, it is a group of objects with a small diameter. The asteroid belt separates the inner and outer solar domains, while the Kuiper belt separates the inner and outer solar systems.

The orbital position of the baby star at a distance of nearly 600 AU from the Sun is not and is not on the ecliptic plane where the eight planets are located, but at an angle of about 5 degrees to the ecliptic plane.

Xu Changqing originally planned to cast the monitoring ball on the outskirts of the baby star, but later calculated, the heart was a bit big, with the coverage of the monitoring ball, a billion could not fill this hole, after all, the universe is three-dimensional, and monitoring not only has to take care of the ecliptic plane, but also includes the void area where few celestial bodies operate.

Theoretically, if an extrasolar civilization were to visit, it would be this kind of open space that would most likely jump.

So the monitoring ball was launched diagonally, and the final orbit was to take the periphery of the Kuiper Belt as the starting point, and Xu Changqing's purpose was to finally arrange a spherical monitoring network, similar to the planetary defense and communication satellite network.

Today, this project is still a little bit hot and has obvious loopholes. This kind of vulnerability can be selected as a large leak in the mesh, or a large hole in the field. Xu Changqing chose the latter, in this way, there is an area for monitoring the ball, and the monitoring is basically guaranteed, as for the loophole area, it can only be hoped for luck.

If an outsider happens to be in the area of the hole, then it will have to be in the orbital area of Neptune to be discovered.

As a result, the alien fleet appeared directly in the airspace between the sun and Mercury, making the monitoring directly useless, which made Xu Changqing very depressed.

This time the luck did not come home, it was in the outer solar system, and it was discovered very early, the straight-line distance is more than 1100 AU, and the angle to the ecliptic plane is 13 degrees. If the ecliptic plane is also divided into upper and lower planes, then the baby star is above, and the other side is below the plane, almost diagonally.

From an aesthetic point of view, the ships of this fleet are somewhat like grasshoppers, grasshoppers without legs.

They continued to emerge from the void until they surpassed fifty thousand.

These ships don't want alien ships, the size is the same, they are big and small.

The larger ones are larger than the biological warships of the alien creatures, and there are more than 500 of them, with a total length of more than 3 kilometers, which is larger than the Hercules-class, the largest of the outer city-states.

The Hercules-class transport ship itself is just a frame, which needs to be filled with containers or cargo to appear plump, while the other party's is a complete entity, which can be regarded as a mobile fortress.

The Oberon, which is more than 800 meters long, is already the longest combat ship in the outer city-state, and the newly built missile destroyer is slightly inferior in length and size. But the Oberon was like a shark and a blue whale in front of such a giant ship of the other party.

In addition to these five hundred giants, the most are ships of about 1.2 kilometers, and the bow of the ship is densely covered with cannon holes, which reminds Xu Changqing of the battleships of the alliance in {Yinying}, the grasshopper head is very similar to the shelling bow of the alliance battleship, with many gun ports and orderly.

Then there are some thin or fat ones, which are made of a standard shape as a whole, and then seem to be made by simple stretching and adjustment with drawing software in the computer.

"Perhaps, it was designed in a similar way."

The reason why Xu Changqing thinks so is that once the productivity reaches a certain limit, the battleship will also become mass-produced, just like the modern concept of bullets, one more, it is not uncommon, the same template, adjust it according to different needs, the design scheme will be there, and then frantically build ships at a faster speed than the foreign city-states he controls, and a large space fleet will be born soon.

He still has the heart to classify and name the ship, and people simply talk about it.

In any case, this time it was a good master, and after completing the jump, the ships began to exchange supplies, which he speculated was running out of fuel.

At the same time, a vehicle headed in the direction of the sun, which he speculated was a detection device.

Sure enough, not long after, a report of damage to the surveillance ball was received, and the cutting-edge video was also interrupted.

The monitoring balls are also arranged in depth, so before the monitoring balls along the way are destroyed, he still saw the cruising speed of this locust fleet.

At about 2,400 kilometers per second, this is 5.8 times the cruising speed of the ships of the outer city-states in the inner solar system, reaching a speed of more than 8 million kilometers per hour.

Due to the angle of entry into the solar system, there are very few obstacles along the way, and they can maintain this speed almost forever.

He also observed that the other party also uses a working fluid engine, which is good news, indicating that the other party's technology level is not too high.

And the crimson glow produced by the surface of the ship, he suspected that it was the energy shield technology.

240AU, which is about 36 billion kilometers per hour, divided by speed, is about 175 days.

I have to say that this time is really a bit of a coincidence, it is exactly the time when the three waves of warships arrived from Boimos, there will be 643 warships, the difference in number is extremely large, and what is more troublesome is that the speed of the other side means that the tactical strategy of kite flying cannot be done, even if the opponent's battleship shoots farther, it will soon be caught up.

According to the general guess, since the other side has protective shield technology, then high-energy laser weapons and directional super energy weapons (high-binding nuclear explosion directional irradiation) are also available.

Under the concentrated fire strike of such a weapon, the node energy shield or something can't be carried a few times.

There is no doubt that the situation is very serious, but Xu Changqing still chose to take the initiative, he has to test the water, see what the other party is, and then decide on strategy and tactics.

The information was delivered to the Martian Republic's higher-ups two hours later.

The Standing Committee members felt a deep sense of despair.

In their eyes, the new invaders' ships were at least as good as the capital ships of the outer city-states.

In this context, the warships of the outer city-states, at most, relied on the ultra-long-range of light spears, and killed slightly more enemy ships than themselves, and then they were crushed into slag by the overwhelming firepower of the other side.

And the warships of the Martian Republic, I am afraid that they will not even be able to change their lives, and they will be quickly annihilated in the face of concentrated fire.

Not to mention the ships of the Federation, which make no sense except to be happily targeted.

How is this broken?

Compared to the total number of more than 50,000 ships, destroying the opponent's 1,000 ships is not much point at all.

"Why don't we pay a visit? Coming for peaceful purposes, perhaps? ”

"Need a fleet of 50,000 ships for peace?"

"Do you want to beg for peace?"

"The difference in strength is so big, in the eyes of the other party, it is not yet known whether human beings have the value of being captured."

"So, exile?"

"This time, I'm really going to leave some seeds for humanity!" One of the committee members said: "Dayu No. 1-10 are all ready, let's implement the immigration plan, but not to BB, but to Proxima Centauri." ”

"Going to South Gate II (Alpha Centauri) is already part of our Tinder plan, and I think we can negotiate with Time, and I hope he can help us again."

"How can I help, BB Star is not going in the direction of South Gate 2 at all now."

"The ships of the outer city-states are faster, and they can meet on the way. If we can get further technical support, then in the next 100 years, we can concentrate on digesting this knowledge, and immediately start a higher level of production and construction after settling down, so that humanity will have more hope. ”

"Agreed."

"Agreed!" ……

So not long after, Xu Changqing received relevant official information from the Republic.

Xu Changqing thought about it for about a quarter of an hour and decided to respond to the Martian Republic's Tinder plan.

He replied to Wei Lingyun: "No matter what the victory or defeat of the solar system battlefield is, there will be a fleet of foreign city-states and the Republic Tinder fleet converging in the vast deep space. However, the production of the ships in question will be ranked lower, so the Tinder fleet will go first, and the fleets of the outer city-states will catch up later. ”

When the high-level leaders of the republic learned about it, they were naturally very pleased.

Although the situation is more tragic, the descendants of the Republic have inherited the technological heritage of the outer city-states, which is also a great success.

Soon after, Zhou Xiao corresponded with Xu Changqing, saying that she had been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Tinder fleet.

Xu Changqing smiled dumbly, the people of the Republic, when it came to such a time, were still thinking about it.

Is this a gesture of goodwill, or is it blackmail in disguise, afraid that he will change his mind, so he is qualified to divide the family property from a private perspective?

He didn't bother to think about this kind of thing, and directly stated: "You can be the commander-in-chief." This is also an explanation from me to you, anyway, between us, there is either life or death. ”

Zhou Xiao also said that she hoped to have a farewell shot with Xu Changqing, she wanted to conceive his child.

Xu Changqing simply refused: "National socialism doesn't need an empress, and it doesn't need a human emperor, you have to ensure the purity of the red faith during your term of office, and if you can't do it, I'll clean you up." ”

After the call, Wei Lingyun on the side walked over. said: "I'm relieved." Your Excellency Time has genuine feelings for the country and the nation. Nor is it the kind of person who disregards race for the sake of his own selfish desires. ”……

At this point, the evacuation plan on the side of the Martian Republic began to be officially launched.
