MTL - Armor Frenzy-Chapter 1939 Chase into Uranus
After completing the mission, Ye Han calculated the fuel and ammunition reserves of the Lone Wolf, and submitted the application for the pursuit of the alien fleet to Beiyuezhou together with the mission report.
Although it has long been known that a group of alien warships have escaped into the Uranus region, whether to pursue or not is not a decision that can be decided by just touching one's lips, and it must be determined by the actual situation of the warships.
When the Lone Wolf leaves the port, the reserves are very sufficient, and it can roughly estimate the consumption required for the blasting mission, but before the mission is completed, no one knows whether there will be any accidents in the middle, so no matter how accurate the estimate is, it cannot be used. Estimated data hit the application.
Now that the mission is over, and the remaining fuel and ammunition are enough for the Lone Wolf to pursue the enemy ship, Ye Han then applied to Beiyuezhou.
While Beiyuezhou highly affirmed the results of the Lone Wolf, he agreed to Ye Han's application.
After receiving the reply from Beiyuezhou, Ye Han immediately ordered to set off, and the Lone Wolf immediately entered the Uranus area and pursued in the direction of the alien fleet's escape... Although it is indeed a bit late to start now, there is a belief in some people. , As long as the aliens are still in the solar system, the pursuit cannot stop!
When Ye Han left, the main force of the expedition army was still on the way, and it would take two months to reach Saturn. Duan Zhiyang was so depressed that he wanted to change positions with Ye Han.
At present, there are only two fleets of aliens left, one is the second foreign fleet on the way back to Saturn, and the other is the fleet that escaped into the Uranus region.
If you can't find a suitable base, these two fleets will be rootless duckweeds, the supplies will not be replenished, and the battle damage will not be recovered.
But as the old saying goes, a hundred-footed worm is dead and not stiff. Even if humans have already grasped the skirt of the Goddess of Victory, it still takes a long time to lift it.
The most important task of the space fleet now is to continue to maintain high pressure at the military level, and not to give aliens a chance to occupy Uranus or other planets, either to eliminate the remaining aliens in one go, or to drive the aliens out of the solar system in one go.
Since the annihilation of the aliens on earth, blind optimism has emerged among the people, and they feel that in a few years, mankind will be able to completely win this war.
But the high-level people are not so optimistic. There is Uranus outside Saturn, Neptune outside Uranus, and the Kuiper Belt beyond that, and there are countless small celestial bodies.
For humans, the solar system is really too big. Whether it is to annihilate aliens or drive them away, it is not something that can be done in a short time. It must be done well for another ten, twenty years or even longer. The preparation of time, even if it takes an entire generation, will not give the aliens a chance to resuscitate.
Based on this principle, Beiyuezhou's mission to the Lone Wolf is not only to hunt down and kill the fleeing enemy ships, but more importantly, to prevent aliens from occupying Uranus!
Uranus has twenty-seven satellites, of which Tianweiyi to Tianweiwu are more than 500 kilometers in diameter, and the largest is more than 700 kilometers. Although it is far inferior to Jupiter and Saturn, but for aliens who are not picky, These satellites are also good places to live.
Moreover, it is far away from the earth, and it is more than 18 astronomical units when it is closest to the sun. Even for a super battleship, it takes five to six months to fly from the earth to Uranus.
As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If aliens succeed in Uranus, it will not be so simple for human beings to destroy them. If the aliens escape to the farther Neptune or the outer Neptune region, the eradication of the aliens will become impossible.
The military has long anticipated this, and has organized personnel to conduct exercises many times, and several different opinions have been formed.
One is to eliminate aliens at any cost, even if they chase them to the horizon. This is the most mainstream opinion, and it is also a strategy that is being implemented by high-level officials.
The second is to adjust according to the situation. At present, the space fleet still has the power to pursue the enemy, but when the aliens escape to Neptune, or even into the outer Neptune area, the distance from the earth will be too far, and the cost of the space fleet to pursue is too high. , it is better to retreat temporarily and continue to strengthen the space fleet while repairing the wounds of war.
Such a point of view also makes sense. The war between humans and aliens has been fought for so long, and various countries that have been exhausted are in desperate need of recuperation.
The distribution of resources in the solar system has never been balanced. The closer to the sun, the more abundant it is, and the farther away from the sun, the poorer it is.
After the aliens escaped to the periphery of the solar system, they could not get sufficient resources, and the development speed was definitely not as fast as before.
And human beings can drive aliens to the periphery of the solar system at an absolute disadvantage, and the speed of development in the future will certainly not lag behind aliens.
In this case, a temporary truce to recuperate is a good option, so there are indeed many supporters of this view.
However, the hatred between humans and aliens is too deep. Almost everyone has a deep blood feud with aliens that cannot be resolved~www.novelbuddy.com~ Many people would rather eat bran than let go alien.
Fortunately, human beings have almost wiped out the aliens on Earth, the war is basically over, countries no longer have to resort to military force, and can already use their hands to develop people's livelihood.
With the current level of human technology, recovery is just a matter of time.
In mid-August 2038, more than half a month after the Lone Wolf entered the Uranus area, the Second Outer Fleet, which had originally returned to aid Saturn, suddenly turned around and abandoned Saturn to fly to the Uranus area. The destination is temporarily unknown.
During this time, more dirty snowballs flew towards Earth, propelled by the aliens.
At the end of August, the space telescope determined the approximate location of the alien fleet by observing the trajectory of the dirty snowball, and Beiyuezhou urgently ordered the Lone Wolf to the target area.
In mid-September, the Lone Wolf finally found the long-lost alien fleet.
At the same time, the main force of the expedition finally arrived at Saturn, and the Huo Qubing, who had been guarding Saturn's rings for more than two months, was ordered to enter the Uranus region to assist the Lone Wolf in chasing the alien fleet.
Beiyuezhou originally planned to order Huo Qubing to solve more and more dirty snowballs, but after thinking about it, although there are many dirty snowballs flying to the earth, after a long journey of more than ten astronomical units, they really pose a threat to the earth. There are not many small celestial bodies.
Moreover, the speed of dirty snowballs is not fast. It will take three to five years to fly to the earth. Humans have time to intercept them, so they don’t need to be concerned about them for the time being. It is more important to clean up the aliens first.
In this case, even the Chen Tang, which remained in the asteroid belt, was sent to the Uranus area by Beiyuezhou.
Beidu dispatched all three super battleships to the Uranus area. It can be said that they bet all their wealth. If the alien fleet is successfully eliminated, it will be fine. If there is an unexpected discount, the aliens will take the opportunity to make a comeback!
