Chapter 62: Combat Readiness
Chen Yue knows a truth deeply. Whether it is within or outside of humanity, one's own security can never be pinned on the benevolence of the other.
Only with the corresponding material resources can we win true peace.
"Then, it's time to expand the armament. Before the opponent reaches the solar system, do everything in your power to build more warships and have more powerful force. ”
Chen Yue made this decision solemnly.
After this decision, all previous development plans were suspended. All tasks give way to the requirement that takes precedence first.
Chen Yue even took back the computing power allocated to many scientific research centers to promote his scientific and technological progress.
Scientific research can be done at any time. Now, preparation comes first.
In just one day, Chen Yue made a plan to prepare for the war.
At this stage, I don't have the ability to defend the entire solar system. It's a pretty obvious thing. This means that the planets in the inner solar system must focus on themselves.
At present, the two most important planets for Chen Yue are naturally Jupiter and Mars. The rest, the five great planets of Venus, Mercury, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn, have a shallow degree of development on their own, and there are not too many sunk costs, so they can be abandoned for the time being.
In any case, stick to the two planets of Jupiter and Mars.
The Jupiter system, here, can provide a near-infinite amount of deuterium-tritium fusion fuel. Mars can provide huge mineral resources. As long as you can hold these two planets and ensure that the transportation lines are not cut off, then you can say that you are invincible.
Although giving up the remaining five planets in vain will definitely give the other party a chance to breathe, and even obtain a stable source of resources and energy, and will have the qualifications to fight a long-term war with itself.
But...... Speaking of a war of attrition, Chen Yue asked himself that he would not be afraid of anyone.
"Then it's decided."
After confirming the stubborn defense of Jupiter and Mars, Chen Yue began to formulate a specific defensive strategy.
Of course, this is just a strategic idea for now. How this war should be fought depends on the subsequent development of the situation, and it will be adjusted at any time. It's not okay to stick to the rules and make your own rules and regulations to limit yourself.
"Battleships must not be missing. But I'm afraid I don't have enough computing power to maneuver too many warships. But it doesn't matter, there are still more battleships, it's a big deal to reserve them first, and if you lose one on the front, you will add one to the rear.
Also, Mars is too far away for me to be able to manipulate the battle ship in real time, and it will be a disadvantage to fight. Not...... Then it will be necessary to develop an automated defense system. ”
After confirming the overall strategic goal and the specific defense strategy, Chen Yue immediately opened up all his firepower and invested all his huge computing power into the combat readiness of the whole army.
From this moment on, the factories that spread all over Mars, as well as on each of the larger moons of the Jupiter system, roared again after a temporary silence some time ago.
The silence for a while ago was due to the fact that the development of the planet has been largely completed, and there is no such high demand. Now it's roaring again, of course, because the demand is there again.
It's not just those factories. The mine, which was already in a semi-suspended state, is now flooded with a huge number of minecarts and robots. Numerous mining facilities are also up and running.
Iron ore, copper ore, lithium ore, gold ore, silver ore, rare earth ore, tin ore, nickel ore......
Hundreds of thousands of mines are roaring. The huge amount of resources produced has made hundreds of thousands of heavy-haul trains start to roar day and night on the criss-crossing railway lines.
In space, the heavy transport spacecraft that communicate Mars and Jupiter are almost lined up, densely traveling back and forth between the two planets.
The number of Jupiter's planes in Jupiter's atmosphere has increased to 10,000, and millions of tons of fusion fuel can be purified on average every day.
A large amount of fusion fuel is sent to Mars, sent to a fusion power station, and turned into the fuel that drives the entire planet to flourish.
A large amount of mineral resources came to the Jupiter system, entered various metal casting and processing plants, and became parts. The parts were sent to the shipyard and turned into spaceships.
At this moment, Chen Yue has already built ten space docks that can produce combat spaceships.
One of the ten dockyards is dedicated to the manufacture of the largest and most combat-ready Comet-class warships. Two dockyards were used to build the second-tier Nebula-class ships, and the remaining seven were all used to build the smallest Stardust-class ships.
On average, a hundred Stardust-class warships are built every day.
The construction of Nebula-class ships was much slower. It's too big and too high-tech in comparison. It took Chen Yue almost two days to build one.
Comet-class ships are even more difficult. It took almost eight months to build one.
In terms of building combat spaceships, Chen Yue has done his best, and his production capacity has been tapped to the limit.
But that's not all Chen Yue's combat readiness plan.
In addition to the spacecraft, Chen Yue is also building more combat readiness facilities.
The first is the interstellar battery.
The interstellar batteries are divided into a dozen different classes and models. One thing they all have in common is that they are not motivated. They cannot move, they can only orbit around a planet in a fixed orbit, such as Mars, such as Europa, two, three, four.
This kind of interstellar battery has a nuclear fusion reactor as an energy source inside, and depending on the model and grade, some are only equipped with electromagnetic guns, some are also equipped with laser cannons, and some are equipped with interstellar missiles. The rest is also the minelaying battery - it has numerous interstellar mines inside, ready to walk out as needed.
There are self-detonation batteries. When the time is ripe, the high-yield hydrogen bomb inside it will explode, sweeping through all visible and invisible existences around it.
There are also electromagnetic interference batteries. It can release extremely powerful electromagnetic interference signals, interfering with communications and the operation of the spacecraft's internal equipment.
A large number of interstellar forts, Chen Yue does not set a limit on the number of them at all, he can build as many as he can, the more the merrier, and it is best to wrap Mars and Jupiter in full.
Beyond the interstellar battery, there are ground and underground defenses.
This makes it impossible to use self-destruct weapons, and it is easy to interfere with the rest of the facilities. This is mainly dominated by electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons and interstellar missiles.
In addition to this, there are countless satellites.
Spy satellites, armed satellites, communication satellites, jamming satellites......
These satellites were all thrown into the vast space in the solar system by Chen Yue.
And one of the most important weapons.
Interstellar mines.
An interstellar mine is only the size of a palm, weighs only a few hundred grams, and there is no way to equip a nuclear bomb inside, so it is equipped with Chen Yue's latest research and development, the most powerful chemical among chemical explosives-all-nitrogen anionic salt.
They even have a weak power of their own, allowing them to move their position to a certain extent.
