In charge of commanding this operation was Li Xin, the new commander of the Asian Fleet.

The previous fleet commander eventually chose to resign due to the defection of the Natural Selection. For the appointment of Zhang Beihai as the executive captain of the Natural Selection, he has an unshirkable responsibility after all.

So in this way, Li Xin actually served as the commander of the Asian Fleet for less than three years. However, to be able to be ordered at such an urgent juncture, he certainly will not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

The reason why the Asian Fleet still insisted on setting off to intercept the water droplets at a time when rumors were flying in the sky was because he tried his best to persuade the Fleet International to act according to Qiao Lu's plan.

Li Xin has always firmly believed in one thing: miracles will not happen by themselves, but must be created by their hands!

Without even the courage to make a last-ditch effort, humanity will lose hope forever.

At this moment, it is not a savior who can save mankind, but ordinary people who rely on thousands of ordinary people who have come forward, and the Asian Fleet is the true embodiment of this power.

They are not superheroes with special skills, nor are they confident time-travelers like Qiao Lu, they are countless mortals of flesh and blood, forming the only remaining space force of mankind.

There are even many who do not know what the secret weapon against the water drops is, and stick to their posts with the determination that they may be wiped out as much as the Combined Fleet.

After experiencing a doomsday battle in which a drop of water destroyed the combined fleet, it is absolutely false to say that there is no fear, everyone knows that more than 600 stellar-class warships are 600 firecrackers in front of the droplet, and it will not take long to blow them all up.

Even so, they still chose to stand here and fight to the end with the determination to die.

The combined fleet did the same thing in the past, but back then they were like bugs, desperate against opponents who were much stronger than themselves.

In fact, it is just because of arrogance and ignorance that I don't know what I am facing.

However, everyone in the Asian Fleet knew that the water drop was a much stronger opponent than themselves, and the stellar battleship was as brittle as paper in front of the water drop, but they still faced it unwaveringly.

Courage is to know and master fear, and their actions are the greatest hymns of mankind!

"It's coming!" Li Xin said silently.

Nine water droplets finally appeared in the field of vision of the Asian fleet, and at this distance, the water droplets no longer hid their tracks, and activated the thrusters with all their might, allowing the dazzling vortex ring to appear behind them.

On the background of the still starry sky, nine bright spots suddenly appeared, rapidly approaching.

As originally predicted, according to the trajectory observed by the Snow Project, water droplets will inevitably pass near Jupiter before reaching Earth.

Now the Asian Fleet has become the last line of defense between the earth and the water droplets, where there is no special person, only the Great Wall of flesh and blood composed of countless soldiers, and the steel torrent composed of more than 600 stellar warships.

I'm afraid that the Three-Body Civilization has no way to understand why Qiao Lu arranged it like this, the destruction of the first drop of water completely relied on the trap set by the Ark and the mysterious spiritual energy.

With such a painstaking effort to get rid of one droplet, and now that both don't even exist, how is the Asian fleet going to fight against the remaining nine droplets?

Even if humans master antimatter technology, it is impossible to easily hit water droplets, and the propulsion technology of water droplets is far beyond human comprehension, which is even more deadly than strong interaction force materials, and human astronautics cannot explain the sharp angle steering of water droplets.

The three-body text clearly believes that even if it is equipped with antimatter armor-piercing shells, the Asian fleet will only waste these valuable ammunition in vain, and the weapon system of the stellar-class battleship cannot be compared with the Ark, and there is basically no chance of hitting the water droplet.

No matter which way you look at it, the Asian fleet that sticks here is cannon fodder, and its only role may be to rely on loose formations to prolong the time of being annihilated by water droplets as much as possible, and buy time for the people on Earth at the cost of its own total annihilation.

Qiao Lu's letting the Ark stay on Earth proves this even more, in the eyes of the Three-Body Civilization, if it really wants to intercept water droplets, it is impossible for the Ark, which has mastered the mysterious alien technology, not to move.

It is impossible for human beings to defeat the water droplets with their own strength, so the three-body civilization is more certain that the Asian fleet is the outcast responsible for buying time, and the Ark left on the earth is the real threat.

Not to mention the three-body civilization that is four light years away, and even within the Asian Fleet itself, there are many people who think so.

Why didn't Jo Lu set off with them? The only Cybertron battleship Ark, which was able to destroy the droplets, was not in the queue for this operation?

The nearly 1,000 high-energy accelerators that have been built on the earth are not for breaking through the blockade of Zhizi, then what is the use of?

All these doubts can only be explained, Qiao Lu has other arrangements on earth, but it will take time for all this to be realized.

The point of the Asian Fleet is to gain the last time to slow down the advance of the water droplets at all costs.

Such speculation is not groundless, there was once a wall-facing Friedric Taylor, who tried to use macro-atomic nuclear fusion to launch a surprise attack on the human fleet to quantize it, and use the quantum ghost fleet to fight against the three-body civilization.

This plan ultimately failed, but it was enough to see that in the eyes of those who faced the wall, the space fleet could be sacrificed, or even the first to be abandoned.

However, such speculation is at least hopeful, because it shows that Qiao Lu has other ways to defeat the three-body civilization on Earth.

It's just that none of them will be able to see the day when the truth will be confirmed, and they will fall before the dawn of the final victory of humanity and use their lives to buy time for all this.

With this realization, the Asian fleet stood firmly in front of the droplets.

Everyone knows that there is a good chance that they will not be able to defeat the opponent in front of them, but if humanity survives for all generations, all the people in the future will shed tears at their graves, and the wreckage of the fleet will become their eternal monument.

"Come on, droplets!"

The nine droplets completely ignored the Asian fleet and stepped into range without hesitation.

At this moment, Li Xin, commander of the Asian Fleet, ordered:

"Fire!"

In an instant, more than 600 stellar-class warships of the Asian Fleet and all the satellite bases in Jupiter's orbit poured a dense rain of bullets into the water droplets.

When it saw that the barrage was so unusually dense, the Three-Body Civilization instantly made a judgment that with the human antimatter production capacity, it was impossible to produce such a large number of antimatter armor-piercing shells in a short period of time, which was completely contrary to common sense and absolutely unscientific.

Therefore, it should be conventional electromagnetic weapons metal shells, and since laser weapons will be reflected by the absolutely smooth mirror surface of water droplets, electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons are the only option for the Asian fleet.

At least according to the law of conservation of momentum, this slows down the water droplets a little, and further confirms that the Asian fleet is here to stall for time.

Evasion would only waste more time, so the water droplets let these shells fall on the strong interaction casing, which had long been proven impossible to penetrate anyway.

When one of the shells fired by the Asian fleet landed on the droplets, everyone held their breath, hoping that this time the situation would be different from the Battle of Doom.

However, this illusion was immediately and ruthlessly shattered, and the shells fired by the fleet were easily deflected.

The water droplets slowed down only a little, immediately adjusted their propulsion, quickly regained their speed, and flew towards the Asian fleet under a dense rain of bullets.

Suddenly, everyone's hearts were half cold, and sure enough, the Asian fleet was still going to repeat the tragedy of the Doomsday War, and their efforts were nothing but a meaningless struggle.

In the face of the three-body civilization like a god, ordinary people only deserve to be reduced to cannon fodder, maybe this is a cruel and ruthless, but indisputable fact.

But is that really the case?
