The Kuiper Belt is located outside the orbit of Neptune, about 30 astronomical units from the sun, and is a dense disk-shaped area of celestial bodies near the ecliptic plane.
Because it is twenty times wider than asteroids and has orbital resonance, it is relatively dangerous inside. Pluto also de-orbited from the Kuiper Belt and flew towards the Earth. Therefore, if a deep space probe rashly enters it,
There is a high probability that it will be destroyed by the celestial body inside.
Thus the detection function is lost.
The deep space probes launched by the Alliance mainly conduct observations near the orbit of Neptune.
Transmit the situation in the outer reaches of the solar system back in time.
In this way, due to the distance from Neptune to Mars, humans will have sufficient time to prepare for battle.
But now that the energy fluctuations of the antimatter engine have been discovered, it means that the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations have probably entered the Kuiper Belt and are flying towards the inner solar system.
If this information cannot be confirmed as soon as possible and the enemy's situation is known.
That would undoubtedly be very passive.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
It was precisely the lack of understanding of Pluto that caused the population of human civilization to be reduced by half.
This battle with extraterrestrial civilization must not repeat the same mistakes.
Even if all deep space probes are destroyed, as long as more information about the enemy can be obtained, this is a very cost-effective deal.
That's why Xu Lei asked the detector to enter the Kuiper Belt.
When it was mainly used to destroy Pluto, the energy fluctuations caused by its internal antimatter engine had already been recorded. Since it was detected from the Kuiper Belt, there was a high probability that there would be no error.
It can be said that the enemy that human civilization has been waiting for for a long time is finally coming.
As for asking Lei Zhan and the others to retreat to the orbit of Jupiter temporarily, it was just as a precaution.
There are a total of six cruisers and one transport ship performing the mission of the solar system defense zone. They have occupied most of the alliance's space power. If there is a conflict with the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations without preparation, it is very likely to suffer huge losses.
Let the originally balanced or even advantageous situation disappear.
After all, extraterrestrial civilizations use antimatter engines as battleship power devices, which shows that the overall performance of the battleship is better than that of the hammer cruiser.
In this case, strategy must be used.
No direct conflict.
Moreover, the solar system defense zone project is just in its infancy and does not have the ability to block extraterrestrial civilizations.
Naturally, we should retreat to internal security.
in addition.
Xu Lei temporarily chose to hide this news.
We decided to wait until we get the exact information about extraterrestrial civilization before announcing it.
Although humans are very angry and hateful towards this alien civilization that destroyed their home planet, and would like to personally go to the battlefield to avenge their compatriots and relatives, if the news is wrong, it will inevitably waste everyone's emotions.
And Xu Lei believes that this news will not keep him waiting too long.
Xing Tong knew how important this matter was to Xu Lei. After receiving these orders, he immediately turned around and left to execute them without any hesitation.
When Xu Lei was left alone in the room again, he decisively contacted the only two remaining heavy cruisers, the Shenzhou and the Future, asking them to prepare first.
As long as the existence of extraterrestrial civilization is confirmed, he will take these two battleships to the orbit of Jupiter to rendezvous with Lei Zhan.
According to the configuration of the Hammer cruiser's thousand-person crew, the number of people participating in the space battle this time will reach tens of thousands.
Perhaps not much compared to the entire human civilization.
But you must know that these tens of thousands of people are all core personnel of the Space Force. In addition to being mechanical life forms, they are also equipped with individual laser weapons such as laser guns.
When necessary, it can even break away from the battleship to fight.
I believe it will definitely bring a big surprise to extraterrestrial civilizations.
Victory must belong to mankind.
…
…
at the same time.
There is no life in the Kuiper Belt.
A large number of asteroids gather here, making it a dangerous place in the solar system.
But in this environment, a huge black object was seen driving, and its flight direction was exactly inside the solar system.
The reason why it is said to be huge.
It's because the length of this object reaches two thousand meters and the width is eight hundred meters. It looks like a cicada larvae golden cicada magnified countless times.
Very overwhelming momentum.
A total of six running anti-matter engines on both sides prove that this behemoth is a battleship, and its size is top-notch even among medium-sized battleships.
If you compare the heavy hammer cruiser, it is basically no different from a toy.
Even the Kunpeng transport ship, which barely reaches the level of a medium-sized battleship, cannot compare with it.
Although Xu Lei's prediction was correct, extraterrestrial civilization did not send much force to take over the solar system, but with such a powerful battleship and the space power of human civilization, the outcome is still unknown.
View through the battleship's armor into the interior.
You can see a strange-looking alien life form busy.
Their average height is about three meters, they look like aquatic insects, and they walk upright.
In addition, they have four arms in total, and there are translucent wings on their backs, just like the crustaceans on Earth, whose bones grow outside the body.
Especially the spindle-shaped crown on the head looks even more weird.
In the core control hall of the battleship, several alien life forms wearing light red light exoskeleton armor were seen standing respectfully in front of a glass-like transparent cylinder, and an alien life form with the same appearance could be seen inside.
body, but his fusiform crown is larger than anyone else's.
It seems to be a symbol of status and power.
Half a minute later.
When the alien life form inside the transparent cylindrical box opened its eyes, the people outside immediately lowered their heads.
And spoke a jerky and difficult-to-understand language.
If you translate it according to human language, you will find that it is a name.
"Mr. Bishop Misty!"
As the voice fell, the hatch of the transparent cylinder device opened automatically, and Misty stepped out and looked around at the familiar subordinates in front of him.
Finally, he focused his gaze on the person closest to him, and said in his own civilized language: "Uzi, how is this star system called the Solar System doing?"
"For your information, Your Majesty the Bishop."
"The civilization in this star system belongs to the first-level civilization."
"And it is a weak carbon-based life form."
"According to the information I stole, they call themselves humans and have never had contact or communication with other civilizations in the galaxy."
"It's a very suitable target for invasion."
"My subordinates use the powerful chemical technology of the Pioneer Empire to integrate elemental substances targeting carbon-based life forms into the asteroids here, and make them hit the planet where the other civilization lives."
"This so-called human civilization now probably no longer exists."
Perhaps it was because of the absolute hierarchy in their civilization that when faced with Bishop Mosti's question, the pioneer named Uzi did not dare to hesitate and quickly answered in detail what he had done during this period.
Thinking that these are all contributions to the Pioneer Empire, the translucent wings on his back couldn't help but tremble slightly with joy in his heart.
He comes from the Precursor Empire, which is light years away from the solar system.
Because the star system where they are located is short of resources, it is impossible to maintain the operation of an empire with a population of tens of billions. In order to ensure the development of civilization, members of the imperial royal family have to wander around the galaxy after they reach adulthood, looking for suitable galaxies to invade and plunder resources.
And their extremely long lives just ensure that this method can continue stably.
As a subordinate of Bishop Misty, a member of the pioneer imperial royal family, he was the first to discover the solar system and determine the existence of human civilization through his own unique method.
However, since Misty's fleet is not in this star field for the time being, in order to show that he drives a small warship to hide in the dangerous Kuiper Belt, he transforms asteroids into space kinetic energy weapons to attack the Earth.
After transmitting the location coordinates to Misty, he has been waiting here for the battleships of the Pioneer Empire.
As long as he can successfully capture this star system, as the greatest hero, his status in the empire will definitely rise.
Misty trusts himself as a subordinate.
After the fleet received the location coordinates of the solar system, he immediately set off there.
However, the location of the fleet was relatively scattered, and Uzi clearly stated in the message that the civilization in the star system was no longer capable of resisting. Therefore, in order to occupy the solar system as soon as possible and enhance his prestige in the empire as a member of the royal family, he finally took only one ship.
A medium battleship arrived.
Although there are not many battleships, his battleship is the latest generation of the empire's battleships, and its combat power is enough to wipe out a civilization.
What's more, according to Uzi's information, they were only facing a first-level civilization.
The two are not on the same level at all.
At this moment, after listening to Uzi's description of the solar system again, Misty was in a good mood.
He was not stingy in his praise at all: "You did a great job. Once you take over this star system, you will be a hero of the empire."
After speaking, he gave the final instructions to everyone.
"The battleship is advancing at full speed. We will plant the flag of the empire into this star system."
Whether in the Pioneer Empire or on this battleship, the royal family members have absolute power, and other ordinary Pioneers have no ability to resist.
Therefore, after the battleship was originally moving smoothly, after being given the order by the awakened Misti, its flight speed suddenly increased a lot. It was like a starry sky beast rampaging through the Kuiper Belt. If it continues like this, it will soon reach the orbit of Neptune.
.
Speaking of which, the Kuiper Belt is an extremely dangerous environment. If an ordinary warship enters, the result will only be a shipwreck and loss of life.
But Misty's battleship is able to ignore danger.
It is enough to prove the powerful performance of the battleship.
…
…
Friday, April 20th.
Guyu.
Nearly two months have passed since Xingtong first reported traces of extraterrestrial civilization.
In these two months, the deep space probe was almost overloaded.
Even in order to confirm the news of terrestrial civilization, most deep space probes have forcibly entered the Kuiper Belt, and even major radio telescopes are paying close attention to the situation in the Kuiper Belt.
Hope to capture the unknown pulse signal.
Facts have proved that the Kuiper Belt is indeed very dangerous. A relatively simple device such as a deep space probe cannot protect itself at all, so it lost contact with the Alliance not long after.
Fortunately, they sent back new energy fluctuation signals before losing contact.
It is enough to prove that they come from a powerful power engine.
And there is another more important information than last time, that is, this energy wave is moving at a high speed.
In other words, warships from extraterrestrial civilizations will soon enter the inner solar system.
"It's worth it that I waited patiently for nearly two months, and finally the fox's tail is revealed."
Binjiang City.
Longhu High-tech Park.
In the president's office of the Space Battleship Headquarters Building, Xu Lei looked at the last information transmitted by the deep space probe, and when he spoke, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly to reveal a sneer.
His judgment was not wrong.
Extraterrestrial civilization transformed asteroids and launched an attack on the Earth. It finally transformed the environment of the Earth into a big change. How could they just let it go?
The emergence of extraterrestrial civilizations is the best proof.
In addition, it needs to be briefly explained that the reason why Xu Lei still stays in Longhu High-tech Park is not only because it is the largest high-tech manufacturing base in the world, but also because he is a nostalgic person.
It just so happened that the company's space battleship-style headquarters building was more in line with the image of the Space Force, so he used it as the office location of the Alliance Space Force.
In addition to him and Xingtong, there are many core members who come and go from time to time.
Now that the existence of extraterrestrial civilization has been confirmed, the next step is to decisively attack.
They must be allowed to come back and avenge their fallen compatriots.
Even though Xu Lei has now become a mechanical life form, he still feels like blood is boiling in his chest at this moment, and he wants to go to the battlefield to fight immediately.
At the same time, this will also be a test of the space force's combat capabilities.
As this thought emerged in his mind, Xu Lei immediately stood up from the chair and ordered Xingtong in front of him: "Let the Shenzhou and the Future be ready to go to Jupiter, and arrange for other people on the Earth planet.
We will set off directly later."
"It's the boss."
Xingtong immediately responded, then turned and left.
After being born with self-awareness, she knew exactly what this matter meant to human civilization and the alliance.
If we cannot defeat extraterrestrial civilizations, then the entire human civilization will cease to exist, and slavery may not even exist.
After all, the purpose of Pluto's appearance was to clear away all life forms on Earth.
Therefore, Xingtong did not dare to hesitate at this time and must conscientiously complete every task assigned by Xu Lei.
He stared at Xing Tong until his back disappeared from sight. The next second, he saw Xu Lei sitting down again and slowly closing his eyes.
We all have to set out to fight extraterrestrial civilizations. It will definitely not work if we continue to hide this matter.
Therefore, Xu Lei decided to hold a virtual meeting of the alliance before leaving.
Announce the emergence of extraterrestrial civilization to the outside world.
After becoming a mechanical life form, he no longer needs to use a virtual helmet to enter the virtual world.
Although the whole person looks like he is dozing off at this time, in fact his consciousness has already been connected to the virtual world.
For other representatives of the alliance, based on past experience, as long as Xu Lei suddenly convenes a virtual meeting, something big must have happened.
In this case, no one dares to slack off. No matter what they are doing, they must wear a virtual helmet and go to the virtual conference hall to participate in the meeting as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.
Will be punished by the alliance.
In less than ten minutes, Xu Lei looked around at the seats in the virtual conference hall and found that everyone was already here.
Its efficiency and seriousness have improved many times compared to when the alliance was first established.
This also indirectly proves that Xu Lei's influence on human civilization has been deeply rooted in everyone's heart.
Since no one knew what had happened, they couldn't help but ask after seeing the people gathered.
"Congressman Xu."
"A meeting was held suddenly and urgently. What happened?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Mainly everyone is worried.
Human civilization has finally completed interstellar migration and stabilized society again.
Now is the time to seize development and enhance your own strength.
If another Pluto appears, it will be really unbearable.
Xu Lei is also very aware of the doubts in everyone's mind. Moreover, he held this meeting to announce the situation, so he will not beat around the bush at this time.
So then he directly talked about extraterrestrial civilization.
Although I don’t know if these people present can accept it.
"This emergency alliance meeting is mainly for one thing. According to the latest information obtained by deep space probes, we have discovered traces of extraterrestrial civilization warships in the Kuiper Belt."
"And they are coming towards us very fast now."
As Xu Lei finished speaking, the entire alliance venue suddenly became silent, and the silence lasted for a long time.
However, everyone has already known about the existence of extraterrestrial civilization before, which is equivalent to being vaccinated in advance.
So I quickly came to my senses after confirming the news.
Think about this question carefully in your mind.
There is no doubt that everyone present hopes to eliminate these extraterrestrial civilizations and avenge their dead compatriots.
Whether victory is possible is something that needs to be considered.
If this war ends in failure, it will be a very terrible situation.
After a slight hesitation, Yu Hongliang, the representative of Representative Yanfang, first asked a question: "Congressman Xu, I want to know what are you going to do next?"
Because all the congressmen and representatives in the alliance have been injected with Gene Optimization Solution Zero, Yu Hongliang's voice appears to be much richer and louder than before.
Xu Lei did not hide anything about this and directly told his arrangements.
"I have given instructions to the future Shenzhou docked at the space shipyard. Soon I will lead them to the orbit of Jupiter and form a fleet with the remaining warships. This war will be ended by the Alliance Space Force."
As this question successfully opened the topic, Enoch, who was next to him, quickly took over the conversation and said: "I wonder if you have determined the strength of the force sent by the extraterrestrial civilization this time?"
"The specific information about the enemy is currently unknown." Xu Lei shook his head and said calmly.
At this point in the meeting, everyone understood that the only people they could rely on now were Xu Lei and the Alliance Space Force.
No matter what, human beings must do their best to resist the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations.
All they can do is believe in Xu Lei.
Believe in a space force composed entirely of mechanical life forms.
"We will arrange things in the rear. On behalf of all mankind, I am waiting for your triumphant return."
Finally, when Yu Hongliang said these words with great affection, it was like a dynamite was lit, and the whole venue suddenly burst into exciting shouts.
"Humanity will win!"
"Destroy the invaders."
"Human civilization never gives up!"
…
In this atmosphere, Xu Lei took the initiative to disconnect from the virtual world, let his consciousness return from the conference hall, and then stood up and walked outside.
It is also worth mentioning that after the core members of the Alliance Space Force on Earth learned that they were going to fight extraterrestrial civilizations, they all expressed their willingness to participate in the battle.
During this period, everyone has passed various trainings and is considered an outstanding member of the Space Force.
Really good enough to participate in the battle.
But this is not a battle on land after all. Relying solely on the few warships that human civilization has today, the number of crew members it can carry is really limited, so we can only appease them and stay on Earth for the time being.
Let’s wait until there is a more suitable opportunity next time.
Although everyone felt very sorry for this, they also strictly obeyed the order.
that's all.
When Xu Lei and Xingtong drove the landing ship into the Shenzhou, the two warships immediately set off and headed towards Jupiter at full speed.
As for the alliance, after the virtual meeting, the representatives of each alliance jointly held a press conference for all mankind to announce the emergence of extraterrestrial civilization to the residents of the Lunar City on the Moon and the Mars City on Mars.
At the same time, it was pointed out that Xu Lei had led the space force to Jupiter to meet the enemy.
Within a very short period of time after this news was announced, it almost occupied the entire page of the Weilan website. Everyone was moved by Xu Lei and left messages in anticipation of the Space Force's return with a great victory.
"These aliens actually dare to come. The crisis they caused on Pluto has caused human civilization to lose so many people. This bloody debt will definitely come back this time."
"I believe there will be absolutely no problem with the Space Force."
"Today we are not fragile carbon-based life forms. A combat force composed entirely of mechanical life forms will definitely make extraterrestrial civilizations pay an extremely heavy price."
"My parents will also participate in this battle, and I am proud of them."
"I really want to upload my consciousness right now and turn it into a mechanical body to blast the heads of those extraterrestrial civilizations. If you dare to invade the galaxies of other civilizations, you must be prepared to have their heads blasted."
"Don't worry, everyone, Congressman Xu and the Space Force will complete it for us."
…
With Shenzhou and Future flying at full speed, it took them two months to arrive near the orbit of Jupiter and successfully reunited with Lei Zhan and others. The battleship of the pioneer civilization also successfully broke out of the Kuiper Belt and destroyed the detector near Neptune.
Then without making any stops, he headed directly to Earth Star.
Although the only remaining deep space detector had not yet had time to play its role, it successfully photographed the enemy battleship.
When this photo was sent back to the Shenzhou, everyone looked at the alien warship that was twice as long as the Kunpeng transport ship and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Unexpectedly, the technological level of extraterrestrial civilizations is far higher than they imagined.
