"There's no better way?"

Hassabis's face is not very good-looking, and during this time, he and Lin Cheng and He Xinghui have been immersed in the research of making the next generation of neuronal chips with metamaterials, and they are very alienated from the current situation. When the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was pulled out of the research room, he was shocked to realize that human society had stepped into such a dangerous situation.

As the person who talked to Xia Ming and inspired the EI path, Hassabis was also brought into the path of evolution by Xia Ming. His level of consciousness activity is not very high, but his self-awareness in terms of thinking is quite strong.

Therefore, he also understands the current situation, to be honest, the contradiction between Starlink and the United States has only broken out today, and he is already a little surprised.

The sudden rise of the Star Alliance, coupled with the emergence of the Star Gate, has pushed mankind into a new era at an unconventional development speed. From the point of view of social development, there will inevitably be old interest classes that resist this progress, which in turn will cause the society to be torn apart, from which all kinds of ideological trends and violence will arise.

The United States is the leader of the old world and will inevitably play the role of a resistant, and it is only because of the threat of the Star Gate and the restrained attitude of the Star Alliance in the past that the contradictions have not intensified, but only friction. But the outbreak of Stargate Syndrome, the Star Network and the "Soul Charter" have accelerated the development of human society, and this day has finally come.

What's more, Xia Ming is not here, and Li Diluo, who has no experience in overseeing the overall situation, will preside over the decision-making, and he will only consider the problem from the perspective of the Star Alliance.

For Hassabis, the United States is his homeland after all, and it is emotionally difficult to accept the sacrifice of two or three million Americans. He also believes that if he is replaced by a Chinese, he will feel the same way about the plan of sacrificing two or three million Chinese.

"Chiyan's inference is that even a nuclear war will not bring the U.S. government to its knees, and they are ready for it, and this is exactly what they want."

"If we don't elevate the threat to a higher level, let the United States and all of humanity realize how serious the consequences of indulging in cracking the EI will be, and they will not bow their heads. The solution we are considering is the least harmful of all. ”

Li Diluo said lightly, and there was a kind of sarcasm in his words, of course, not aimed at Hasabis, but the US government: "But there are indeed less harmful options, such as changing the node, which will only cause a maximum of one million casualties, but the war provoked by the US government, why should others suffer for them?" ”

Hassabis was still a little unbearable, and Lilo said very unhappily: "The previous nuclear explosion, it is estimated that tens of millions of people will die from beginning to end, this is what they deserve!" ”

Hassabis sighed and nodded silently, this is the sin of the US government itself, if the American people really regard the values they sell around as their lives, they should stand up and resist this conflict, but they don't, and this is the price they have to pay for themselves.

Just when the Starlink executives were meeting, north of Madagascar, the peninsula where Antania is located, spread out along the coastline, scattered on the beach, like abandoned containers, and the upper lids were opened.

Around the coastline, dozens of large ships, cruise ships, cargo ships, oil tankers, everything, all tens of thousands of tons or even hundreds of thousands of tons of big guys, and the containers placed in the open air on the deck have also opened their covers one by one.

The perimeter strike circle composed of B-52 bombers, Ticonderoga cruisers, and Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines is deployed on a more than 1,000-kilometer arc centered on Antanya, and the "Halo" super-high-speed cruise missiles they launch, equipped with ramjet engines, have a maximum speed of Mach 6, and can reach Antania in more than 10 minutes.

About eight Wing Bear four-plane formations, as well as more than a dozen coast guard ships, formed a defensive circle within a radius of three to four hundred kilometers from Antanya. More than 100 Halo missiles penetrated the line from several directions, and the Ibetzawa fighters were still defending against the wheel-to-wheel battles of more than 300 F-35Cs and Super Hornets, and had no time to intercept them.

In the center of the war situation of the USS Bush, four-star Admiral White-Morro, who had been urgently transferred from commander of the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet command to commander of the strategic command, breathed a sigh of relief as he watched a circle of red arrows representing missiles fly rapidly toward Antanya.

Even if the morality of this operation is not considered, the military success or failure is too much. The reason why the commander of the Central Command refused this appointment was because of this, otherwise this position would not have been Moro's turn. As we all know, in this era, the formation of the Atlantic Fleet was a small role in the US Navy, and almost all the senior generals who were thrown here were retired for retirement.

The so-called "Strategic Command" was temporarily set up by the US Navy to attack Antania, and it gathered most of the combat strength of the Third and Fifth Fleets, as well as the support of strategic air force units deployed at bases in Europe.

Morro's military experience comes from the Gulf War, but he is not a stubborn person, over the years, the progress of the EI, the rise of the Star Alliance, the Star Gate War, the conflict between the United States and the Star Alliance, he has been paying close attention to the relevant news. He had also tried to get a candidate for the Younas fleet, but compared to the younger generals, his physical condition was obviously not suitable for commanding operations in space.

Now, fighting against the Star Alliance, which brought EI and a series of cutting-edge technologies, and also made great contributions in guarding the satellite gate, even if it was just attacking the opponent's hometown, he didn't dare to be careless. This is almost a battle with aliens who are decades ahead of humanity, and the real battlefield is not the set of a film and television drama, and the slightest contempt will lead to failure. The tens of thousands of lives under his command are still light, and the future of the United States is in a fog, how will he be commented on by future generations?

The initial stage of the battle confirmed his fears, and only about 30 fighters and a dozen civilian ships were able to steadily block the attack of the four carrier-based air wings. Every few minutes, he received the news that the fighter plane had been destroyed, which made him scratch the top of his head that had no hair left, and the only consolation was that each destroyed fighter plane consumed three or four missiles from the other side.

Now that the entire outer defense line of the Star Alliance and his carrier-based aircraft wing were in a state of weakness, he felt that it was time to launch a missile attack, and the other party should not have much spare strength to effectively intercept it at this time.

This was confirmed by the simulated combat situation in the air projection, where all one hundred and twenty-two Halo missiles penetrated the perimeter line and headed straight for Antanya, hitting the target in four to five minutes, calculated according to the speed of the missiles.

Antania is just a small place of dozens of square kilometers, and judging from the information collected, Starlink has not deployed any decent defensive measures here, and those lighthouses, electric towers, and radars are either civilian or scientific research equipment, and they do not pose any threat.

Before the war, the Star Alliance withheld a lot of weapons and equipment that were originally to be delivered to Huaxia and sent to Stargate, but Moro judged with his years of common sense that these equipment were neither manned nor supported by the corresponding platform, so they were not effective combat effectiveness at all.

The only thing worth noting is that Starlink has deployed a circle of equipment along the coastline with unclear details, and satellite reconnaissance has shown that they are all containers.

It should be the smart missile of Starlink, and the United States has not kept up with its technology in this regard. However, Moro believes that the intelligent missile is only an improvement of the guidance technology, and if the technology of the missile body does not make great progress, it will be futile to intercept the halo of Mach 6.

It's a pity that the Halo missiles are deployed too few, and if there are more than a hundred more, even if they are intercepted by the smart missile, it will be enough to destroy all the valuable targets in Antanyari.

Moro was lamenting that the Halo missiles were approaching the coastline of Antania, and then he saw the red arrows disappear one by one, yes, not at the speed of a whack-a-mole, but at the speed at which an entire swarm of bees was swallowed by something in an instant.

"What's going on!? Is there a problem with the relay communication? ”

The Halo missile is actively guided, but in order to observe the status and change the command, after launch, a relay platform will take over control, and then relay the information to the command, and the relay platform is served by the AWACS aircraft deployed in the air and the modified Burke-class destroyer and the Ticonderoga cruiser.

Moro subconsciously thought that there must be a problem with the relay communication, and it was very likely that Starlink was interfering with communication, and their technology in intelligence and electronic warfare far surpassed that of the US Navy.

"The channel is open! The signal is normal! ”

After the inspection, the operator answered with certainty.

What happened?

Moro is very puzzling......

On the coastline, on civilian ships on the sea, missiles rose into the air, spewing out clouds of white smoke, just like fireworks.

The speed of these missiles naturally cannot be compared with super-high-speed cruise missiles, but they do not go directly to cruise missiles, but shoot at somewhere empty.

At an altitude of about 100 to 500 meters in the air, balls of fireworks burst out, shooting out countless steel balls that sprayed in all directions with missile fragments. Almost at the same time, one Halo missile after another plunged headlong into the fireworks as if they were targets. The thin body of the projectile was torn apart in an instant, and the seeker, warhead, and engine turned into pieces of parts and joined the boiling light of the fireworks.

At the Starlink headquarters, the meeting continued, and in several scenes of Qianyan projection, the air defense situation map clearly showed the current battle situation.

"420 missiles were fired at the outer line of defense, 112 targets have been destroyed, 10 targets have not been intercepted, and the barrier has been activated."

Qianyan's state at this time was no different from that of ordinary GEI, and most of her computing power was invested in interception operations.

The coastline and the containers on civilian ships are just launch platforms for smart missiles, and more than a dozen terahertz radars deployed around Antania, as well as more than a dozen satellites in Earth orbit that make up the satellite network, temporarily serve as guidance platforms.

After the Halo missile was launched, Qianyan relied on her powerful calculation and thinking skills to formulate an interception plan for each Halo. Each solution is composed of a corresponding communication channel and three to four smart missiles. Through the collection of data in advance and the analysis of a few minutes of flight, the trajectory of the Halo missile was all within her grasp.

The next thing is very simple, the smart missile was launched ahead of schedule, exploded at the predicted trajectory point, and destroyed the Halo missile that came as scheduled.

However, because there were too many targets, the explosions were too dense, and the interference between them, Qianyan still couldn't fully calculate every change, resulting in a 9% error. This can only be attributed to her inexperience in her first game.

The remaining 10 missiles are still a great threat, even if only one of them falls on the headquarters building, and the executive committee members who are now meeting will be doomed. Hassabis was a little panicked, looking left and right, trying to ask if there were any special protective measures.

"Don't worry, the only chance we're going to be doomed is that those missiles have nuclear warheads on board and they detonate early."

Lin Cheng comforted his old partner, and Lou Xinghai on the side shook his head: "Every missile has been scanned by our terahertz radar, if there is a nuclear warhead, Qianyan will issue a warning and let us take refuge in the basement." ”

Li Diluo said coldly: "If the Americans really dare to drop nuclear bombs on Antania, don't blame us for moving the Rainbow Bridge to the earth's orbit and directly killing every city." ”

As he spoke, the 10 fish that slipped through the net were heading towards various targets in Antanya, such as the three huge electromagnetic launch orbits in the northwest, the Starlink headquarters, and the Secret Service Academy, which in the eyes of the US intelligence agencies must be destroyed in the first wave.

The missile is already close to these targets at a distance of twenty or thirty kilometers, and it only takes more than ten seconds to hit the target. At this time, with Antania as the center, surrounded by a circle of tall buildings built in the mountains and wasteland, which looked like electric towers, suddenly burst out at the top, and an invisible barrier of up to a thousand meters seemed to unfold, and small electric sparks continued to bloom in the air.

This scene was seen by the citizens and tourists of Antsiranana in southwest Antania, who were enthusiastically discussing and taking pictures with their mobile phones or pei.

One after another, the missiles penetrated this barrier, and their flight trajectories changed in an instant, either falling headlong to the ground or twisting upwards and heading straight into the sky. In the bodies of all missiles, the circuits were burned and the wires were burned.

Only one missile was still heading towards Antania, but looking at its gouse-like trajectory, it was clear that it was not still running towards the target, but a random movement after losing guidance.

On the edge of Antanya, an invisible laser shot from the top of the building, which looked like a radio tower, burning the missile into a cloud of black smoke, and the citizens of Antsiranana couldn't help but applaud and cheer as they watched it plunge into the sea.

"The Americans scratched their heads and couldn't imagine that the power towers originally used for wireless power transmission could hold up an EMP barrier in the air as long as they formed a superimposed loop, and unless the entire circuit system was made of fourth-generation semiconductors with space warfare standards, it would not be able to block such an EMP impact."

Lou Xinghai introduced to Hassabis with great interest that this set of technology was developed by the Starlink Academy not long ago, but because it had to use a medium, it could only be used in the atmosphere.

When Antania was created, Xia Ming mentioned to him the construction of a defense system. Of course, they would not be naïve to believe that no matter what conflicts occurred between the Star Federation and various countries on Earth, Antania would be a paradise and would not be attacked in any way.

Defend against a certain degree of saturation conventional attacks, as well as nuclear attacks, which are the objectives of the Antanian defense system. Of course, this is not to say that Antania is to be an impregnable fortress. If the United States pours its entire strength into pouring thousands of missiles on Antania, or directly detonating a high-yield nuclear bomb off the coast of Antanya, it will not be a threat that Antannia can and should deal with.

At that time, it will be a full-scale war between the Star Federation and the United States, or even a break between the Star Federation and the entire human society, which will already mean the defeat of the Star Alliance, and there is no need for Antania to exist.

The Halo missiles were all intercepted, but Antania was not without a price, at least for a month, the wireless transmission between Antania and Antsiranana was gone. Moreover, because some of the satellites supporting the satellite network were misappropriated, the satellite network also lag for the first time! Star-networked! Netizens are complaining that they are watching a live stream of the war.

None of the Halo missiles have made any achievements, and the two or three hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles behind them are even less threatening, and there are still two or three thousand containers in hundreds of intelligent missile defense lines arranged on the coastline, which is enough to exhaust the Americans' missiles. The order that was supposed to be given to Huaxia was withheld, so that Antanya's missile reserves were quite abundant.

"The Americans really use the strength to feed, and I agree with it...... Big roots! ”

"We can't always be passive on defense, we have to act as soon as possible, even if the defense of Qianyan and Antanya is very reliable, but if one is missed, it is not a trivial matter."

"Let's act, it's time for Americans to fully recognize reality."

The executive committee members expressed their stance one after another, and the counterattack plan proposed by Li Diluo was approved.

Liluo frowned and asked Lou Xinghai: "That big root...... It can't be that, right? ”

Lou Xinghai spread his hands: "What else will it be?" Of course it's that, hasn't anyone seriously considered that it's actually a more direct and effective weapon than the Rainbow Bridge? ”

On the USS Bush, Moro was extremely lamented by the fact that he had shot down two more Winged Bears, and so far the carrier-based aircraft wing had lost 37 Super Hornets and 18 F-35Cs, accounting for almost one-fifth of the entire aviation force. However, the result of the battle was only three winged bears and two coast guard ships, and they did not even tear a single hole in the coastal air defense line in front of the opponent.

Then he saw the information sent by the satellite, and he felt that his eyes were a little flowery, which was dizziness caused by cerebral ischemia.

Don't faint......

Moro gritted his teeth and thought as he tried to breathe deeply, making sure he wasn't knocked out by the cerebral hemorrhage that high blood pressure might bring.

Not a single Halo missile hit the target!

This is indeed fighting aliens, and this feeling in his heart is extremely strong at this time.

Not even the Halo missiles have made any achievements, what else can you do with a slow-swallowing thing like a Tomahawk?

After a few breaths, Moro wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, his eyes fell on the satellite images projected in the air, and his pupils shrank again.

Compared to the satellite imagery a few hours ago, something is different.

As a commander with actual combat experience, the study of satellite information is a basic ability, and even an intuition has been cultivated. He couldn't tell what was different, but he knew there was a change.

Asked the intelligence staff officer to release the images of the last satellite reconnaissance, and then used the computer to overlap and proofread, looking at the faltering progress bar, Moro secretly thought, if the GEI of the Star Link technology is used, this level of intelligence research and judgment should be done in an instant.

The U.S. government and military are trying to find their way out of the EI in an attempt to find their own way, and now it seems that the speed of this progress bar is as desperate.

After a few minutes, the progress bar was finished, and several obvious changes were marked by the machine intelligence.

Seeing one of the most obvious changes, Moro's eyes began to bloom again.

"It's impossible for them to carry out a space mission at this time, they must be launching some kind of weapon!"

The faces of the staff officers and deputies turned pale, and this conclusion can be seen from the video.

Moreover, such a launch must be final, and Moro suddenly had a feeling that the war was coming to an end.

In Antania, in Char Heavy Industries' cosmodrome, three tall electromagnetic launch orbits are adjusting their angles amid a roar. It was originally standing tall and upright, but now it is leaning.

"Those guys at UNOC are so afraid of the Rainbow Bridge, they shouldn't have thought that this thing can send 30 tons of material into the Earth's orbit, and as long as the angle is changed, it can hit anywhere on the Earth!? It's exactly three quality cannons! ”

Lou Xinghai introduced his "big roots" to the other executive committee members, which has been expanded to three electromagnetic launch orbits with greatly improved ejection quality.

"It's not important, it's important where it will hit and what the consequences will be," Li said. ”

Remembering the estimated image displayed by Qianyan just now, everyone was silent, this is not just a matter of three cannons, but a display that changes humanity's own situation.

Compared with the terrifying prospect shown by the three cannons, the millions of casualties caused directly and indirectly are completely negligible. (To be continued.) )
