At 3:15 p.m., I, Han Han, Titus, and other important officials all arrived at the confidential communications room of the Governor's Palace, and some of them who had received the notice late were rushing to this side. The current location of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Hongxiang is a belt of rocks at the central axis of the three-star zenith gate opposite Adams, which is marked on the star map as the most terrifying inaccessible area. The image he sent from us suddenly stopped our breath: in a normal optical camera screen of the starry sky, the universe was pitch black, and nothing could be seen at all. On the screen of the gravitational wave detector, countless disturbing waveforms can be seen. We looked at each other head-on, and suddenly the disturbance ripples quickly calmed down. Hongxiang explained: "Don't worry, the C360 reconnaissance satellite of the Space Administration is coming. After fifteen minutes, it was no longer able to detect it. That's when that happens. ”

"******, what is it?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"I don't dare to turn on the array radar, I will be discovered." Hongxiang covered his head and said in frustration: "But I can tell you with certainty: it is Feria's army. They measured the frequency and range of the scouts in this ghost place, and then hid behind the Zenith Gate to form a large stealth fleet. Taking advantage of the unguarded time in the reconnaissance relay room, about an hour and a half, they rushed frantically in this direction. When the time comes, it stops again...... All in all, it is indeed a well-planned covert operation, very beautiful and frighteningly perfect. ”

My brain was dizzy for a while, and I could barely support my body, and asked, "How much more do you know?" Say it together. ”

"I've measured the dissipation of gravitational waves here, and according to the diffraction theory, I can basically deduce the initial time when they broke through here. According to the size of the gravitational waves, the size of their army can be roughly calculated......"

I interrupted him and asked, "Just talk about the numbers, how much has passed?" ”

"They should basically come with a landing force, the most optimistic estimate, 100,000." Hongxiang paused slightly and said, "If you calculate according to the most pessimistic data, almost 200,000 have passed. There are about 100,000 people who are now passing through and have just come, lurking in the rubble belt and preparing to go to the main star. ”

"Is it possible to fight them in the air?"

"It's been far too long since they've stolen through the line, at least thirty hours. Although I am sure that most of them are landing ships, they must have also come over with a considerable number of air forces. Even if the Ovimas fleet, Alpha, and Relondo fleets were dispatched together, trying to stop them in the unobstructed place of the Moon Gate, the odds of winning should be low, and it would be no different from suicide. Moreover, we are already unable to stop their landing force in time. If I'm right, their first men have already reached the moon's orbit. ”

Oh, my God! There was a loud bang in my head, and my eyes blackened, and I almost fell to the ground. Looking around, I saw that everyone was like ashes. At this moment, the confidential officer said on the intercom: "Governor, Admiral Overmars is in a hurry. ”

After Admiral Ao's urgent telegram was received, he said in the first sentence: "Huang Er, the lunar base has found an abnormal situation near the lunar gate. Do you have any special circumstances there? ”

"Yes." I turned to Han Han and said, "Send the video of our conversation to the Admiral." ”

While waiting for the Admiral to watch the video, there was a deathly silence in the confidential room. I closed my eyes slightly, turning the pen in my hand as Titus gulped down a smoky cigarette. Basque Bing's eyes straightened, and his fists clenched in bursts. Han Han frowned, looking at the notebook and calculating something. This time passed extremely long, until the Admiral broke the silence and I realized that only ten minutes had passed. He was really calm, staring at me across the screen and asking: "Huang Er, I have also calculated it here, and there is no problem with the data, it seems that the situation is basically true." What do you have to do? ”

I took a deep breath and said, "That's the closest to Leilondo, and it only takes an hour and a half for the Yanagihara-class to sail at full speed. I'll take a trip. I hope that the maintenance of the Samsung fleet will be carried out at the same time. ”

The admiral nodded and said, "Okay, that's it for now." You go first, and we'll keep in touch. In addition, is it possible to gather all the leaders of Samsung for a meeting to discuss? The stakes are high, and it is by no means a matter for one party to decide at will. ”

"No problem, please let them know. As soon as my side was done, I rushed to the Great Cross. I hurriedly nodded goodbye to the Admiral and hurried out the door, immediately driving to the base of the Leilondo fleet. A Yanagihara-class frigate had already been prepared for me, and as soon as I got on board, it quickly took off into the air and sped away towards the Sanzhi Stone Belt.

From the Doge's Palace to the base of the fleet, I never said a word. It wasn't until the frigate flew out of the gravitational range of Leilondo that he turned on the communication channel, and asked Hongxiang in the first sentence: "What's going on?" ”

Hongxiang said: "I have made it very clear. It's like a guerrilla group that has escaped the sight of a patrolman, sneaking in little by little. This time, though, they're bigger. ”

I suppressed the anger in my heart and asked, "What the hell, isn't the three-star defense line airtight, how could there be such a big leak for them to get in?" ”

"This ...... I actually understand part of the reason. However, it's better to find out on your own and see what's going on. Hongxiang gave me a NASA website and said, "The information is there, you can see for yourself." ”

Anyway, it would be a while before I got to him, so I immediately checked it out online. That webpage is part of Samsung's defense program, the Skynet Watchman program, which was planned three decades ago. There are a lot of original materials here, from design sketches to official documents exchanged during the construction process, and you can quickly get a pretty deep inside story from them.

According to the plan when the three-star fleet was first established, since the fleet could not be built very large, it could only be maintained on a small and medium-sized scale, and it was impossible to patrol and wait near the three-star zenith gate all year round, and the establishment of an uninterrupted mechanical watch observation station there was a must. However, due to the debris in the airspace, the cost of stationary observation stations is extremely high, and the only way to detect them is to select a constellation of orbiting satellites with a large observation range.

This plan has been in place for a long time, but no money has been found to implement it. Since the beginning of '61, NASA has been making this expenditure plan in the budget every year, but it has always been unable to be approved. At the beginning of the sixth year, because of the encounter with Feria, this plan finally passed the financial review and was implemented. But because it was directly carried out by NASA, just like the space jump nuclear bomb program, although it is closely related to us, we don't know much about it.

At this point, there was a problem, and it could be described as a very useless problem. The three-star fleet has maintained more than 60% of its disposable power near the Zenith Gate all year round, cruising for decades, and is tired of it from top to bottom. If you don't patrol, you can't do it, and if you patrol, you have to pay a high subsidy to the crew on board, and you have to wear out the hull, which can be said to be motor and electricity. The three-star fleet did not want to do it for a long time, especially the opinion of Admiral Oku, who had a prominent personality (who was still a vice admiral at that time). When NASA's Skynet Program Department asked him for the right to monitor the Zenith Gate's airspace, he immediately handed it over to them. But before the plan was operational, the Skynet Planning Division came up with the idea of taking a slice of the pie in the three-star mine (which is really a manifestation of the poverty and madness of the space agency, shaving food in its own family's bowl). Although Overmars was not directly in charge of this work, he had to rely on this part of the income to fill the hole in the fleet at that time, and when he heard this, he was naturally very unhappy, and rebuked: "You are here to watch, or to ask for money?" "The tone in the official document is so strong that I, the audience, feel cold and stand on end.

As a result, the Skynet Planning Division fought many rounds of verbal battles with His Excellency Overmars, and even alarmed the General Commission for Discipline Inspection of the GDI Global Federation to investigate and fight the mud. But just before this matter was settled, Samsung suddenly changed, and Alpha was captured by Feria.

Seeing this, I began to feel that this matter was a little bit related to me. I can't remember what the connection is. As I continued to read, I saw that the next document read: Due to the needs of the Alpha Counterattack, two-thirds of the budget funds of the Skynet Warden plan have been cut. The original plan to complete the project in four months and to set up a total of 36 surveillance satellites has been completed in three phases over five years, with 12 satellites in each phase.

There are still very detailed reasons for setting this scale. Looking at the relevant information, it turned out that the Skynet Division did not get enough budget, so it was a little passive and slack, asking the Austrian fleet to patrol for another three or five years, and then build this system when they found enough money. Admiral Ao resolutely refused to agree, saying that the work had been handed over, so why should he stuff it back again, and that if he wanted the Skynet Division to build two more high-end dormitories, he would have the money to buy more satellites and accessories. The two sides argued for a long time, and it was not until last year that the General Administration of Space convened a meeting of relevant senior leaders to discuss the matter. At the meeting, the technical staff of the Skynet Division proposed a compromise solution:

1. The distance from the zenith gate to the monitoring track is x;

2. The monitoring radius of the surveillance satellite is y;

3. Let the Feria Air Force limit speed be s;

4. After they break through the zenith, the time to gather enough to resist our counterattack is t1;

5. The assembly time of the regular cruising detachment of the Austrian fleet is T2;

……

It's so familiar.,It seems that the other party is a guy who is obsessed with computer mathematical model programming like me.。 This guy collected a bunch of variables and made them up as complex as the calculus equations I was figuring out if they could beat Baert. This equation is useful most of the time. I picked up and read two lines, and I didn't think it was nonsense, this guy should be quite level, but I don't have time now, so I can read it slowly in the future, so I jumped over.

Anyway, according to this master's equation, it was calculated that with the speed of the Feria Air Force as currently known, combined with all the other additional conditions, only fourteen satellites would need to be deployed, and it would be seamless. Even if Feria had taken advantage of the blind spot where the satellite had passed by and his successor had not kept up, he would not have been able to muster enough forces during this time to immediately defeat the three-star fleet that had arrived after receiving the information - assuming they could make it.

Halfway through the installation of the system, it encountered a surprise attack by the striker general Odepig. It reflects the advantages of scientific and technological progress in the early warning effect, and if it can be installed completely, it can indeed provide considerable help to Samsung. However, not long after the system began to be built, the Samsung General Administration was established......

Now, the relationship between the two is delicate. Overmars asked NASA to hand over the Skynet Division to the Samsung General Administration, and list it as part of the theater or even part of the Overmars fleet, under his personal command. Naturally, the 250 million yuan of annual operating funds allocated by the GDI government will also be transferred together.

There are more than 20 links related to this topic, and they are basically scolding the team of the Space Administration for having such a white-eyed wolf who forgets his roots. Since the Samsung General Administration is independent, the Space Administration is basically unable to make further gains in the GDI fiscal tilt, and it has lost a series of oil and water that makes the difference from the mining industry over there, and it is already so poor that Admiral Ao still sprinkles salt on their wounds? In fact, I don't think Admiral Ao's current economic situation does not necessarily care about the more than 200 million funds, but only wants to stimulate his old boss, the General Space Administration, who has snubbed him for several years.

The Samsung General Administration is a newly established unit separated from the General Space Administration, and it is inevitable that any new unit separated from the old unit will always have some contradictions, antagonisms, and conflicts with the old unit for a period of time. Under the care of the masters of the main star, this contradiction has been reduced to a minimum. However, with regard to the Skynet Division, the external statement of the Space Administration is that "it has not been built yet, and we will talk about it when the construction cycle is over", and the internal statement is that "I will not hand it over if I am killed", so it dragged on.

After the failure of the Oderpig invasion, NASA stepped up construction and completed the first phase of the entire system at the end of April. During the acceptance process, the Overmars fleet sent a simulated ship to conduct on-site experiments, which proved that its defense density had met the design requirements. Feria's activities at the zenith had been closely monitored, and it was impossible to penetrate from theory to practice. However, the safety density calculated by the master of the Skynet Division should be more than fourteen, and only twelve were solved in the first phase of the project. The Skynet Division then asked the Overmars fleet to send a patrol group to keep more than four patrol ships alternating with the Skynet Watcher satellites at any one time to fill the gap. But Admiral O's refusal, he claimed that "whoever is responsible will be responsible to the end, otherwise I will be fully responsible for the transfer of funds and equipment."

This sentence once again ignited the fire of war between the Samsung General Administration and the Space Administration, and the two sides fought back and forth several times, until the senior leaders above saw that the trouble was not good and came to mediate, and the problem was initially resolved: the Overmars fleet sent out a patrol team of twelve frigates, and three ships per class joined the satellite patrol system. Until the second phase of Skynet Watcher was completed, this patrol was not needed, and the above allocated an additional 40 million yuan per year for the maintenance of equipment for the Overmars fleet. Seeing that the authorities had agreed to add so much money, the Skynet Division proposed that they simply shoot a few more satellites and forget it -- the money to buy satellites could first go to the World Bank to apply for a loan. Everyone can calculate this account: the annual loan interest and the extra operating expenses are less than 40 million, of which there is a lot of profit. However, the above is obviously tilting towards the Ovimas fleet, and the money can be given to the fleet, but not to the Skynet Division. As soon as the big boss made a decision, the matter was decided, and it ran as usual. (To be continued.) )
