Chapter 223: Arriving at Star B (Supplement)
Truth be told, α Centauri is larger than the solar system, and there are also planets in this three-star system.
It's just that with the technology that humans have mastered before, it is difficult to observe the specific situation here - although the two are only a few light years away, it is still difficult to observe the whole picture.
Now it is not a problem, as the Federation fleet and countless probes have been launched, the situation of the Centauri α has been continuously conveyed back one after another, and it has been expedited into a star map by the staff of the Space Agency.
This star map is much more detailed than the one given by the rules of the universe, including even the smallest meteorite. Moreover, even though the probes sent by the space agency and the probes on the warships have only detected less than a fifth of the area, they have also discovered two rocky perisolar planets, which are not far from the edge of the α Centauri.
Based on the positions of the two planets, NASA estimates that the three star systems of the α Centauri should have nine or more planets.
And these two planets were also named August and Ace by NASA, because today is August 24 of the earth calendar, so these two planets were so casually given names with the homonym of the date.
Fortunately, no one was bothered with this problem, and the fleet continued to move forward, and the probes gradually covered the farther area, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner
When the second, third, and fourth echelons, totaling 18 million warships, crossed the second rock-like planet, they encountered a second wave of attacks.
It was obviously the second defensive circle set up by the Three-Body Civilization - a planetary fortress.
It was supposed to be a moon orbiting the second planet, the smallest of the three moons orbiting the rocky planet, and the most inconspicuous, but the Federation fleet discovered its true colors before it could attack.
Even so, the planetary fortress brought a small loss to the expeditionary fleet.
Fortunately, the Federation fleet had been prepared for this situation for a long time, so this time only more than 2,000 warships were blown up by the planet fortress, and then it was reimbursed by the overwhelming attack.
However, although this battle was won by the earth civilization, there was no cheer in the Federation, on the contrary, the expression of every high-level person who paid attention to this matter was solemn with a touch of worry.
Can the Three-Body Civilization already transform an asteroid into a planetary fortress? Doesn't this mean that they also have at least the strength of a second-level late-stage civilization? This is not good news for the Federation fleet, especially a Late 2 civilization with three stars.
It is conceivable that their energy is much more abundant than that of the Earth Federation, and all kinds of resources must definitely crush the Earth civilization.
This is also a matter of no choice, who let the family stay in their native star system, if the Earth Federation also stays in their native star system, and completely controls the stars and other planets on which their home star depends, just like the three-body civilization, then even against the last third-level civilization, the Earth Federation will definitely have the power to fight.
It's a pity that now, the plot is completely reversed, and it is not the Earth Federation that has a star system, but the three-body civilization, which is a bit of a cheat.
No matter how strong the Federation fleet is, the energy that the warships can carry is limited, and it will be dangerous if the enemy deliberately delays it until it runs out.
Some high-level officials who wanted to invite credit even told Jarvis their views on this situation, and Jarvis passed it on to Meng Ke, which naturally resulted in a sneer.
These guys only see the surface, but ignore their own strength.
You must know that the Earth Federation now has good things that are no worse than the Three-Body Civilization.
Wang Xiaotian's expedition made one of the many rewards received by the Earth Federation include an energy device. This device is called the Battleship Core Energy Regeneration System, which is a technological product of a second-level peak civilization.
Different from conventional energy devices, this kind of device is more energy-efficient, it can not only avoid the meaningless consumption of the battleship's energy in the maximum range, but also allow every drop of energy to be used in the most suitable place. At the same time, it can absorb various particles in the surrounding space to achieve infinite renewable energy, although it is much slower than direct energy injection, but it can also provide a continuous supply of energy for the warship at a very large range.
Generally speaking, this energy supply can restore 10% of the battleship's energy in a day, which is enough to support the battleship to make a short super-light voyage at 4-5 times the speed of light, and even if it can't be defeated, it can't be used to escape.
Now that this technology has been thoroughly studied by scientists, it has been widely installed on warships and mechs, so the worries of those high-level federal leaders are simply unnecessary.
Moreover, all the warships of the Federation Fleet are all using the technology of the era of the intelligent brain, which is a completely different technology system from the current second-level civilizations, not to mention the intelligent system, the weapon system alone is much more powerful than the current second-level civilization.
Take the weapon system as an example, the more than 10 million warships that went out on the expedition were all equipped with an antimatter main gun, and each of these warships could exert at least three antimatter attacks with the shield running at full capacity.
After all, they are facing a rookie opponent who has not even found a way to use antimatter, so they can't win, so it is better to go home and feed.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the expedition did not know what their head of state was thinking, and if they knew, they would be extremely speechless, if only the war could be so simple.
At this moment, after three more resistances, they finally approached the core region of the α star Centauri, which is also the location of Star B in the Triad Star System - this is not the closest star to the Federation Fleet, the closest star is Star A, the reason why they want to come here in a big circle is because this is the base camp of the three-body civilization.
This is also the result of Meng Ke's instructions, and the wisdom brain brought him not only gold fingers and various black technologies, but also information about the three-body civilization, including their living environment, group location and weaknesses.
Not to mention the living environment, the group location is also known, B Star has more than 90% of their clansmen, and the weakness is that the body of this group of guys cannot withstand ultra-low energy.
The energy here naturally refers to heat, after all, it is a race that lives on the stars, and when the heat is lower than 3100 degrees Celsius, the bodies of these guys will freeze and die.
Think about it, the temperature on the surface of star B in the α Centauri is as high as 6500 degrees Celsius, and 3100 degrees Celsius is indeed ultra-low.
Even if they had an all-race evolution when they were advancing to civilization, the minimum temperature they could withstand would not be lower than 2,500 degrees Celsius.
It's a pity that knowing their weaknesses is still the same, and the Federation fleet can't let the temperature on the surface of the star be lowered, let alone lure the people of the three-body civilization to the low temperature zone, so they can only fight honestly. (To be continued.) )
