The terrible situation on Mars could not be concealed at all, and no commander had the ability to conceal this fact, and the rumors spread throughout the Orca fleet at flying speed, and the entire fleet fell into a kind of restlessness in a very short time.

People's hearts are floating, and the undercurrent is faint.

Especially the officers and soldiers like Jiang Yufei, they all can't wait to appear on Mars immediately.

On the one hand, the fleet command group tried its best to appease the emotions of the officers and men, after all, Mars is not a small base with a lot of horns, and although the fleet stationed there is only two battle groups of aerospace carriers, the aerospace battle groups are not necessarily more effective than the capital ships against the outer skeletons -- the two aerospace combat groups belong to China and the United States, but Russia is also stationed in a mixed formation without aerospace carriers, and its strength is not weaker than the other two.

In addition, the air defense on the ground should not be underestimated, and with a large fleet returning to Mars from the asteroid belt, Mars as a whole is at a disadvantage, but it is by no means without the ability to fight back.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, as the second home of mankind, the equipment level of the garrison of Mars is only slightly worse than that of Earth in the entire solar system, and it is amazing that the nuclear bomb will hit the damn damn.

After many aspects of work, the mood of the officers and men has finally stabilized, at least on the surface.

On the other hand, the command group racked its brains to increase the flight speed of the battleship, but the fleet, which was already in a state of overspeed, had no room to speed up again?

Don't look at Qi Xiaodong's command of the Dianguang to attack the outer Neptune region, and the voyage is close to three-digit astronomical units, but that is not that the fuel carried by the killer whale class is enough for the battleship to run so far, but a special situation in the universe, so that the battleship does not need to consume more fuel except for turning and accelerating!

The killer whale fleet has been in a state of acceleration, but after exceeding the design maximum speed of 1600 kilometers per second, the engine running at full power can no longer increase the speed of the battleship much, but quickly consumes a lot of valuable fuel, and what is more troublesome is that the engine that has been running in a critical state is likely to burn out!

The original engine system of the Dianguang has tended to be scrapped due to long-term overload, and in order to repair the battleship in time, a new engine system was directly replaced. Now the killer whale ships can be said to be all new ships that have not been run-in, and the prospects of several engines are worrying.

But in addition to the earth, human beings can only transform Mars, which is suitable for human habitation after more than a century, and losing Mars is tantamount to a great loss of vitality for the entire human race, and how can the benefits and disadvantages be compared with a few warships?

Even if the main engine is scrapped, the auxiliary engine and brake engine will be enough for the fleet to participate in the battle.

In the end, Kelong made a decision, and increased the speed at all costs!

In this regard, Qi Xiaodong has the most right to speak, but he can't think of a way other than to turn the hull of the ship and use the strong recoil generated when the reconnect gun is fired.

Ke Long was extremely remorseful, he knew that this was the case, how good would it be to hang a circle of rockets on the hull of the ship?

The optics of the four warships tried their best to find traces of the fleet of the Outer Skeletons, but before that, the Outer Skeletons had disguised themselves as comets to attack Jupiter, and now no one knew what they were disguised into, and the optics found nothing.

Two days later, Mars was in sight, the Orca fleet had overtaken the Combined Fleet, and it would be about six hours before it could reach Mars, and there was still nothing abnormal on the Martian side, and the Orca fleet was ready for battle just in case.

Time passed minute by minute, and every beat of the second hand was as long as a century.

The observation team suddenly reported to the command that it had found a group of meteorites flying towards Mars, which was very suspicious.

Ke Long immediately ordered the speed and direction of the meteorite group to be calculated, and soon concluded that the position of the meteorite group was the same as the position of the US attacked fleet, and at the current speed, it would arrive on Mars about ten minutes before the killer whale fleet.

There is a more than 90% chance that the meteorite group is the Outer Bone Man Fleet, Ke Long's blood is surging upward, and he can't sit still anymore, so he strictly orders to immediately report the situation to Mars.

On the battlefield, every minute and second can often decide the outcome of the battle, ten minutes, ten fatal minutes!

"Old enemy, how long will it take to enter the range of carrier-based aircraft?" Ke Long's fist clenched and let go, clenched and let go.

The old hatred in his mouth is Qiu Yu, the commander of the fleet aviation.

Qiu Yu frowned: "The combat radius of the F-440 is two light seconds, not considering return, and the fuel for maneuvering during the battle must be left, at least twenty minutes." "At this time, the fleet is still ten light-seconds away from Mars, and it is half an hour's voyage.

Ke Long's expression was grim: "Twenty minutes? By then, the Exoskeletons will all be on Mars......"

"Twelve minutes at most, and the Martian side will prepare to refuel the fleet." Qiu Yu said, "It can't be any sooner, otherwise it will ......"

He didn't say anything, but everyone understood what he meant.

The fighter plane has no advantage over the outer skeleton, and if it loses its mobility again, it is equivalent to letting the aviation force be sent to the door as a target.

Ke Long secretly calculated, and suddenly asked, "How much time can you grab?" ”

The speed of the fighter is faster than that of the battleship, but how far in advance it can arrive depends on the specific situation.

"Five to six minutes." Qiu Yu already had the answer in his heart, and immediately blurted out.

"Good!" Ke Long smashed his fist in the palm of his hand, "I order, the aviation force is ready to go immediately, and there is no need to ask for instructions to set off immediately after entering the departure position, old enemy, you are responsible for coordinating and commanding, and without affecting the speed, bring as many nuclear warheads as possible!" ”

The reason why the killer whale fleet changed its plan and rerouted to the moon is because it wants to load this batch of nuclear warheads!

The battle of the ironclad base made everyone understand the strength of the Outer Bone Man from one side, and in a head-on battle, the conventional fleet is not the opponent of the Outer Bone Man at all, and until now, there is only one kind of alien warship in the human field of vision, and no one dares to guarantee whether the Outer Bone Man has other more powerful warships.

In order to ensure strategic and even tactical superiority, the Ministry of Defense approved the use of tritium warheads stored in the lunar base.

The half-life of tritium is 12.5 years, it simply cannot be stored for a long time, and the moon base stores not the warhead itself, but an empty warhead without a charge!

Because the moon's tritium reserves are extremely high, and tritium is very harmful to people, a large amount of tritium stored in the lunar base will not be loaded into warheads, and tritium will only be loaded into it when ordered to use these warheads.

Tritium will be converted into helium-3 after decay, and there are abundant reserves of helium-3 on the moon that can be preserved for a long time, using helium-3 to make a nuclear bomb seems to be a very clever idea, but the fusion conditions of helium-3 are much harsher than tritium, and the technical and cost requirements for manufacturing helium-3 for nuclear warheads are much higher than those of tritium warheads, so until now, deuterium-tritium warheads are still the main charge of fusion nuclear bombs.

In this battle, the Heavenly Army can only win and not lose, and it has made a lot of blood!

Qiu Yu didn't delay for a second, and immediately replied: "Understood." ”
