Chapter 206 Contact with water droplets

Meanwhile, Space, Saturn Orbit

Not to mention Star Destroyers, the number of stellar-class battleships among the three major fleets alone is about ten times that of the three major fleets in the original book, and the lethality and size of each battleship are much larger.

Although it takes a little more effort for Shui Drop, it is enough to crush the original humans of the same period.

The Chang'an Deep Black Interstellar Guerrilla War proposed by Say is still an important course and research project of the Fleet International Military Academy, and is also an important policy for human interstellar warfare.

According to the provisions of Chang'an's Deep Black Guerrilla Law, within the scope that can be counted as fighting water droplets, no matter how dense the formation is, humans can only send a maximum of 2 Star Destroyer strike groups to contact.

This also made the three fleets want to break their heads, because this is the glory of capturing the Trisolaran detector, and no one wants to miss it.

Of course, some people have proposed that all fleets participate in the war through dense formations, but violating Chang'an's deep black combat law cannot be accepted by the fleet's top brass.

Because Say still has a relatively high prestige in the political circles, especially in the relatively centralized fleet international, Sayism is the core guiding ideology of all major fleets.

It is impossible for them to suddenly and directly violate Say's military theory, but the principle of fairness of opportunities to participate in the war is also an issue that everyone needs to consider.

Fortunately, the Trisolarans were considerate and sent 50 water droplets, which meant that 100 Star Destroyers could directly "battle" the water droplets.

Therefore, we only need to slightly violate the Chang'an Deep Black Guerrilla Law and compress the other 25 Star Destroyer strike groups, and all the battleships can be counted as participating ships.

Another reason for adopting a dense formation is that the Star Alliance hopes that the formation can produce a strong visual shock. This is not so much a display of the power of the Trisolaran world as it is for the human public to see.

This unprecedented visual impact is of great political significance to both countries. At present, the enemy's main force is still two light years away, and the dense formation of the fleet certainly poses no danger.

Yes, although there was no excessive violation of Chang'an's Deep Black Guerrilla Law, human civilization still foolishly sent all the star-class battleships and star-class destroyer battleships up.

It's just that humans did not adopt a super-dense formation like in the original work. Instead, they made the mountain-like Star Destroyers and Stellar-class battleships stretch for hundreds of thousands of kilometers in the endless starry sky, which looked very spectacular.

At the same time, in addition to the powerful interstellar fleet, humans also used the Saturn planetary defense system and nearby galaxy defense systems to mobilize a large number of space defense platforms and space fortresses.

In addition, due to extraordinary luck, the planetary fortresses of the United Earth Fleet and the Solar System Fleet happened to be near the water droplet during this period.

Soon, tens of thousands of defense platforms and hundreds of space fortresses were densely packed together, forming a giant three-dimensional network surrounding the interstellar fleet.

With the combination of Star Fleet and Star Wall, no one thought it was possible for the Trisolarans to win the war.

At this time, the Star Fleet was approaching Saturn, so the fusion engines of all battleships were facing forward.

Now the Star Fleet has approached the Trisolaran probe, and its speed has reduced to a negative value. It is adjusting the relative speed to the target to zero in order to intercept the Trisolaran probe.

The Quantum is located at the corner of the rectangular formation, so Ding Yi can see the fleet, as well as some of the defense platforms and space fortresses of the Great Interstellar Wall from here.

So Bai ICE looked out through the large portholes of the Quantum. Although the holographic image of the information wall could provide a better view, he still liked to see directly with his own eyes like this.

He saw that he was on a great plane made up of twenty thousand dazzling little suns, and their rays made his hair seem to be on fire.

In the days since Starfleet set sail, he has become familiar with this scene, but he is still shocked by its magnificence every time.

In fact, the fleet adopts this rectangular and flat formation, not just to show majesty and momentum.

If a traditional column of a naval fleet is adopted, even a staggered column, the strong radiation produced by each warship's engine will have an impact on the warships behind it.

In such a rectangular formation, the distance between warships is about three hundred kilometers. In Say's Chang'an Deep Black Guerrilla Method, this is called a dense formation, and it is an organization used for fire suppression and interspersed assaults.

Although the average volume of each stellar-class battleship is 15 to 20 times that of ancient giant aircraft carriers, the volume of Star Destroyers is 320 to 450 times that of giant aircraft carriers.

But from this distance, the space battleship is almost just a point, so what the battleship can show its existence in space is the light emitted by the fusion engine.

Before the interception work began, Bai ICE saw the image of the three-body detector. The size of the detector was similar to what humans expected, with a length of 3.5 meters.

When Bai ICE saw it, he had the same impression as everyone else, a drop of mercury.

The detector is in the shape of a perfect water drop, with a round head and a pointed tail. The surface is an extremely smooth total reflection mirror. The Milky Way reflects a smooth light pattern on its surface, making this drop of mercury look pure and beautiful.

The shape of its droplets is so lifelike that observers sometimes really think it is liquid, and there is no internal mechanical structure at all.

After seeing the images of the detector, Bai ICE fell silent and did not speak during the meeting, his face a little gloomy.

"Professor Bai, what seems to be on your mind?" the captain asked.

"I feel bad." Bai ICE whispered, pointing to the holographic image of the detector.

"Why? It looks like a harmless piece of art," one officer said.

"So I feel bad." Bai ICE shook his head and said, "It's not like an interstellar probe, but it's like a work of art. If something is too far away from the concept in our minds, it's not a good sign."

"This thing is indeed a bit strange. Its surface is completely enclosed. Where is the nozzle of the engine?"

"But its engine does indeed emit light. This has been observed before. However, the unmanned spacecraft did not have time to take a close-up image before it stalled again. I don't know where the light came from."

"What's its mass?" Bai ICE asked.

"There is no precise value yet, only a rough value obtained through a high-precision gravimeter, which is probably less than ten tons."

"Then at least it's not made of neutron star material."

Then the captain stopped the discussion among the officers and continued the meeting. He said to Bai ICE: "Professor Bai, the fleet has arranged your inspection like this."

"After the unmanned spacecraft completes the capture of the target, it will be observed for a period of time. If no abnormalities are found, you will enter the capture spacecraft in a shuttle boat and conduct a zero-distance inspection of the target."

"You cannot stay there for more than fifteen minutes. This is Major Lin XT from the Solar System Fleet. She will accompany you throughout the entire inspection on behalf of the Star Fleet."

A young female officer saluted Bai ICE. Like other women in the fleet, she was tall and slender, a typical new human in space.
