When the living Transformers Bumblebee appeared in front of everyone, there were a few fewer doubts about Qiao Lu, and now no one doubted the existence of Starship Earth, just worried about whether they were really on the side of Earth civilization.

"Sorry, we need to discuss it first."

Leaving this sentence aside, the representatives of the Asian fleet, the European fleet, and the North American fleet all temporarily disconnected long-range communications, don't forget that at this time they are also facing another problem - the probe to welcome the three-body civilization will definitely not be able to go as originally planned.

Jonathan invited Qiao Lu to sit in the lounge on the side first, and when the representatives of the three fleets reached a consensus, they would talk to him again.

This matter is not trivial, and of course the heads of the three fleets must sit down and discuss it carefully.

Less than an hour after the end of the meeting here, on the orbital base of Jupiter, the representatives of the three major fleets met again, and it was not a remote meeting, but a very formal personal meeting of the heads of the major fleets.

"What do you think about this?" The representative of the Asian fleet asked.

"Maybe what he said is true." The representative of the European Fleet replied, "But it is still not safe to let them stay on Earth, especially when the Combined Fleet sets out to meet the Trimaran probe." ”

According to the original plan, the three fleets will be equipped with stellar-class starships to meet the Probe Water Drops of the Three-Body Civilization.

But now that the Ark is docked on the earth, which is equivalent to being at the door of its own home, then the three fleets must not be able to come out like this again, and they must leave enough armed forces to prevent emergencies.

Who should stay and watch the door, that's the point of discussion.

While Qiao Lu was waiting in the lounge, the news was playing on the TV inside, and it read like this:

Five hours ago, the Ringer-Fitzroy telescope observed the Trimaran fleet passing through an interstellar dust cloud again.

This is the seventh time in the two centuries since they set sail that they have seen themselves through a dust cloud, and the fleet has lost its tight formation, and the shape of the "brushes" has long since changed beyond recognition compared to the first time they crossed the dust cloud.

However, this time is similar to the second crossing, and the first thing that is observed is a "bristle" that comes out of the front. But unlike that time, judging by the trajectory shape, this bristle is not a probe, but a battleship in the fleet.

During the voyage to the solar system, the Trimaran Fleet has completed the acceleration and cruising period. As early as fifteen years ago, it was observed that the trimaran battleships began to slow down one after another, and ten years ago, most of the warships entered a state of deceleration.

However, it is now known that the battleship has not slowed down, judging by its trajectory in the dust cloud, it is still in a state of acceleration, and at the current rate of acceleration, it will reach the solar system a century and a half earlier than the fleet.

Such a lone spaceship, alone intruding into the territory of the solar system with a powerful fleet, if it were to invade, would be tantamount to death, so one conclusion can only be drawn: it is here to negotiate.

Through two centuries of observation of the Trimaran Fleet, the maximum acceleration capacity of each ship has been determined, and according to this calculation, the forward ship lacks sufficient deceleration capacity to inevitably pass through the solar system in a hundred and fifty years.

Then there are two possibilities: one is that the Trisolarans want the Earth World to help slow down, and the other is that the spacecraft will drop a small boat that is easy to slow down before passing through the solar system, carrying the negotiation delegation of the Trisolaran. The latter is much more likely.

"The above is a special report on the movements of the Trisolaran Civilization Fleet, so let's focus on the mysterious spaceship that suddenly appeared over the Earth······

It is not difficult to see that people are generally optimistic about the war between the three-body civilization, and have even begun to imagine that the other side is here to surrender.

Qiao Lu said disdainfully: "If you really have the desire to negotiate, you should have told you through Zhizi a long time ago." ”

"This is very easy to explain, because of the difference in the way of thinking, the three-body people are transparent thinking, and we already know everything they think about what they think." Jonathan said with a smile on the side.

This explanation is obviously not convincing, at least not for those who wander the earth.

It's a pity that they are blinded by pride, thinking that human beings already have the strength to crush the three-body civilization.

Anyone with a modicum of sanity knows what a foolish thing this is!

At the same time, according to the original plan, all the stellar-class warships of the Asian Fleet, the European Fleet, and the North American Fleet, totaling 2,015, will form a joint fleet to make a unified sortie to intercept the Trimaran probe that has already crossed the orbit of Neptune.

After hearing the news, the people of the earth fell into a carnival, and people talked about what this would bring.

"More than 2,000 warships for a small probe?"

"This is killing a chicken with two thousand cattle slaughtering knives!"

"That is, 2,000 cannons to fight a mosquito! What is this? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should understand Fleet International, you know, this may be their only chance to fight with the Three-Body World."

"yes, if that's a war."

"It's okay, let's think of it as a demonstration parade of human civilization, what kind of strength is such a super fleet, it can't scare them to death! Scare their urine out, if they have one. ”

"Hahahaha......"

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that the three major fleets are not to be left behind in this interception operation, and they regard this as an important stage to show their fleet strength.

There are even people discussing how to deal with the Trimaran Fleet that finally reaches Earth, such as setting up a Trimaran Civilization Reserve on Mars to accept the defeated members of the Trimaran Fleet as a great project that embodies the humanitarian spirit.

New news kept coming, and the fleet joint was cautious at first, and the spokesman repeatedly stated that there was no conclusive evidence that the three-body world had the intention to negotiate.

At the same time, however, both the United Nations and the Joint Fleet Conference convened emergency summits to begin working out the procedures and terms of negotiations......

Because of this, the representatives of the three fleets quarreled about who would be absent from this doomsday battle in the end, staying to watch the Ark to avoid changes, and no one wanted to be left behind.

"I think it's better to let the Asian Fleet stay." The representative of the North American fleet proposed, "Didn't you have one more stellar-class battleship defected before you set out on the expedition?" ”

The so-called defection refers to the Natural Selection, which is undeniable to the representatives of the Asian fleet.

The representative of the North American fleet seized on this and forced: "In the battle of the end of the world, we will not allow such an obvious act of fugitivism, which will seriously affect the morale of the military and shake the confidence of the people." Therefore, I think it would be more appropriate to let the Asian Fleet stay. ”

"I agree." Representatives of the European fleet immediately stated their position.

"It's not fair! It was just an accident! ”

Although the representatives of the Asian fleet were still arguing with reason, after all, the North American fleet and the European fleet still wore the same pants from the root, and they always firmly held the right to speak, and the resolution was quickly passed by two to one.

So in the end, the fleet jointly revised the plan and decided to let only more than 1,300 stellar-class warships of the North American fleet and the European fleet set off, and the 695 stellar-class warships of the Asian fleet should stay to defend the earth, and more importantly, to guard against the Ark brought by Qiao Lu.

The representatives of the North American fleet and the European fleet were overjoyed that a competitor had been eliminated, and after that, the Asian fleet would seriously lose its influence in human society, and they would be able to better grasp the right to speak in the world.

Yet none of them knew what awaited them.
