Chapter 664: Attack from both sides

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and in the astronomical telescope on Earth, the flames produced by the thrusters of the Trimaran Fleet when it slows down have become clearer and clearer, and a clear bright spot can be seen in space.

This is completely unexpected, and the technological explosion of the three-body civilization is something that human beings could not have predicted.

What's even more terrifying is that all this happened so suddenly that it was difficult to prepare mentally in advance.

Until recently, it was thought that the Trimaran Fleet was two light-years away from the solar system and would take a full century to reach Earth.

However, the Trimaran Fleet reached the speed of light, and by the time it was observed, it had already come to the vicinity of the solar system.

If it weren't for the need to slow down when entering the solar system, the Trimaran Fleet would have already hit the doorstep at the same time as humans observed!

Fleet International didn't want to report this matter originally, and the nine drops of water already made them anxious, not to mention facing the Trimaran Fleet.

But now that folk astronomy enthusiasts can observe the Trimaran fleet approaching the solar system, this matter must be hidden.

Considering that the Asian Fleet's initiative to attack has already caused rumors to fly all over the air, if this matter is concealed any longer, I am afraid that a rebellion will arise.

In desperation, Fleet International had no choice but to announce the imminent arrival of the Trimaran Fleet, and called on the people not to panic and to proceed according to the established plan.

Saying that if you don't panic, you won't panic, of course, it's not that easy, and this time the public reacted more violently, almost scared half to death.

What they originally thought was that after the Trimaran Fleet arrived in the solar system at least a century later, even if the nine water droplets arrived early, the size of the water droplets would only destroy the resistance of human beings at most, and now the living people would be able to spend their lives in peace.

But with the arrival of the Trimaran Fleet, it will not be the same!

In the eyes of human beings, water droplets are still just probes, but the Trimaran Fleet is a colonial spaceship, which will allow the Trisolarans to really land on the earth, and then billions of people on the earth will be lambs to be slaughtered, and it is unimaginable how to die.

The ultimate goal of the three-body civilization is to occupy the earth and even the entire solar system, as the so-called side of the couch will not allow others to snore, and human beings will inevitably be wiped out.

Even if they can't deal with the droplets, people still fantasize about a peaceful life for at least one generation, but this illusion is ruthlessly shattered.

Once the trimaran arrives, it's the end for all!

In such a panic mood, it is inevitable that something will get out of control.

Qiao Lu has already tried to stabilize the hearts of the people, but in the face of the great fear of the Trimaran Fleet, there is still no way to make everyone confident.

There are even some people who have rumored that he is a liar, and the construction of 10,000 high-energy accelerators is not to break through the blockade of Zhizi at all, and he has lost his money and money to the end of getting nothing.

A few people regard him as an ancient tyrant, driving the people to accomplish vast spectacles, just to satisfy their own selfish desires, just as Luo Ji once used his identity as a wall-facing person for pleasure.

In the face of these criticisms, Qiao Lu did not argue too much, there is no way to say clearly, only facts speak louder than words.

He came to Luo Ji's office, the former wall-facing man who had recently been in charge of the snow project without sleep or food, and did not even attend the hearing of Qiao Lu's return.

"How's the plan going?" Qiao Lu came in and asked Luo Ji.

"It's okay." Luo Ji replied, "Thanks to your guarantee, the snow project has received great support, and we have deployed enough stellar hydrogen bombs to ensure that water droplets entering the solar system can be observed. ”

"That's good."

Unlike the trimaran fleet, water droplets are difficult to observe directly, and if you want to lock them, you have to rely on snow engineering.

"On the contrary, are you really ready to face the Trimaran Fleet?" Luo Ji asked Qiao Lu, even he was worried about this.

"If the public finds out that the 10,000 high-energy accelerators you asked them to build are meaningless, they won't need the Trimaran fleet, and they'll stone you to death, just like someone I knew in the past."

Qiao Lu asked rhetorically, "Do you really think I'm going to do a meaningless face-saving project?" ”

"It's hard to say, not letting people understand their own minds is one of the jobs of the wall-facers."

Luo Ji has the deepest understanding of this, and he has experienced this feeling himself.

"But if you fail, I have my own plans." Luo Ji said meaningfully.

Qiao Lu smiled slightly and said disappreciatively, "I know." ”

You can't pin all your hopes on one person, so Qiao Lu also deliberately left a backup plan, that is, Luo Ji's snow project.

However, it is better to never need to use it, this is not the result that Qiao Lu wants.

As the two were talking, the curved white walls around them suddenly turned red, as if they had been burned through by the magma of hell.

This is the color of the highest alert. A line of large white letters appeared on the screen, and each word was like a scream of terror:

"Discover the Cosmic Probe of Strong Interaction Forces! A total of nine, divided into three formations of one, two, and two, have already crossed the orbit of Pluto and rushed towards the earth! ”

Around Luo Ji, 1 to 9 appeared, these nine suspended numbers, emitting a faint green light.

These are five holographic buttons, click any of them, and the corresponding information window will pop up in the air, showing more detailed intelligence content to varying degrees.

All the information comes from the early warning system established by the snow project, which detects the trajectory of water droplets through the oil film formed after the detonation of the stellar hydrogen bomb, which is currently the most reliable method.

Although the arrival of the water droplets had been predicted, Luo Ji frowned when he saw the news, which was completely different from what he imagined.

Immediately after that, the snow engineering warning system sent another message:

"Discover the Trimaran Fleet flight path! A total of 415 have successfully entered the solar system and are approaching the earth! ”

Unlike expected, the water droplets and the Trimaran fleet did not enter the solar system at the same time, but completely dispersed.

Nine water droplets entered the solar system from the opposite direction of the arrival of the Trimaran Fleet, forming a two-sided attack on the Earth from the point of view.

At this time, we have to make a judgment, which side to prioritize?

Judging from the current strength of human civilization, no matter which side is taken into account first, it is possible to take care of one side and the other, leading to the eventual fall of the earth.

If the forces are divided to fight, there is no chance of victory for either side, and it seems that letting the Asian fleet stay and stick to the earth is the best choice.

But there is another branch here, that is, the direction in which the water droplets arrive, which must first pass through the orbital base of Jupiter.

Due to the two-century-long construction of the three major fleets, there are also many defenses on Jupiter's moons, which can be exploited, provided that the Asian fleet goes to defense.

No matter how hesitating, in the end, you have to make a choice, Qiao Lu is not Cheng Xin, and she will not be at a loss at this time.

"Inform the Asian fleet, set off to intercept the droplets!"
