Vol 4 Chapter 1014: Stellar defense

After it was determined that the Monoceros fleet of the Palestine civilization had sent six warships back to defense, the situation changed significantly.
Of course, this change, on the surface, seems to be just the difference between how many more seconds the earth can hold.
Important departments such as the Supreme Council of Human Civilization, the Space Fleet Command, the General Staff, the Academy of Military Sciences, and the military scientific research team held planetary defense meetings to discuss new defense strategies.
The proton observer counter mechanism was activated at the meeting to prevent the prying eyes of the Palestine civilization.
"The Monoceros fleet of the Palestine civilization has already assigned six warships to defend against Monoceros v838. The number of warships we will face will be six..."
An elderly military staff officer, first analyze the situation:
"Among them, four of them are three-row cruisers, which are a heavy firepower of the Palestine civilization. The firepower is far more fierce than the Counterattack and the Hold.
"In addition, there are two triangular destroyers, which are high-speed ships that are responsible for breaking through the defense circle.
"The focus of today's meeting is to find the best defense strategy to deal with the offensive of the Monoceros fleet."
Ye Zheyu took the topic and spoke on behalf of the military research team: "Because the nearest hyperspace channel node is in the orbit of the asteroid belt, it is too close to the earth.
"Therefore, I think the defense strategy should not be limited to planetary defense, but should be more active and deploy defenses in the asteroid belt."
During the first hyperspace voyage, Ye Zheyu was the first to discover the wormhole in the asteroid belt.
That is the hyperspace node of the solar system in the hyperspace channel.
This hyperspace node is too close to the earth's orbit, which is a very dangerous signal.
The views that Ye Zheyu put forward were also the views discussed during the lunch time of the military scientific research class.
Humans have been emphasizing planetary defense, planetary defense.
All eyes are on defending the earth, but now it is no longer enough to defend the earth alone.
Times have changed.
During the war of star beast civilization, as long as you can defend the earth well, you can stabilize the battle.
Now it’s different. We are facing a higher civilization and we must focus on defense beyond the earth.
"Two months ago, we began to deploy the defense matrix of the asteroid belt. The relevant asteroid belt defense weapons have been produced in military industry and have been installed in batches on the defense matrix of the asteroid belt." Li Guihua, the head of the Weapons Research Institute, spoke out in response to the issue of the deployment of the asteroid belt.
As early as two months ago, humans had already noticed the movements of the Palese Monoceros fleet.
Therefore, the defensive measures did not start now, but started two months ago.
Since the hyperspace channel node of the solar system is in the asteroid belt? So the deployment of defense in the asteroid belt? Has been included in the overall planning very early.
"What is the main defensive weapon?" Admiral Rod asked in depth.
"Mainly kinetic energy weapons, supplemented by missile weapons? There are also a small amount of energy weapons." Li Guihua glanced at the documents in his hand? and answered.
At this stage of humanity, kinetic energy weapons are indeed the best choice.
The biggest advantage of kinetic energy weapons is their high cost performance.
Compared with missile weapons? The cost of missiles is too high.
Because missiles need thrusters, it is equivalent to every missile? A propulsion engine needs to be installed? And this propulsion engine is disposable.
The launching turrets of kinetic energy weapons can be reused.
In addition, energy weapons are not suitable for humans at this stage.
Because energy weapons need to consume a lot of energy, although mankind has mastered the technology of controllable nuclear fusion? But it is still difficult to provide large-scale use of energy weapons.
Therefore, the defense matrix of the asteroid belt is still dominated by kinetic energy weapons, supplemented by missile weapons and energy weapons.
Wait until the defense strategy of the asteroid belt is almost discussed.
Chu Xingyun of the General Staff stood up to make a report and gave a speech: "About defense strategy? I have a point to add.
"The defense strategy of the asteroid belt is indispensable, but I think? Apart from the asteroid belt, there is another defensive focus? And it may be the most important place."
When the participants heard this, they were more or less puzzled? Some talked in a low voice.
Chu Xingyun went on to explain: "The planetary defense strategy does not meet the current situation? It should be upgraded to a star system defense strategy.
"In the stellar defense strategy? I think the focus of defense should be on the stars.
"Yes, I think the sun needs protection most."
The most in need of protection is the sun.
In the history of human civilization, this view appears for the first time.
After all, mankind is still a planetary civilization so far, and after the technological advancement after the technological explosion, it can be regarded as a 1.5-level planetary civilization.
However, the current level of human civilization is a bit chaotic, especially after conquering curvature-driven technology, the civilization level is even more chaotic.
Because theoretically curvature-driven technology should be level 2.5 or even level 3.0 technology, it shouldn’t have appeared in a planetary civilization.
"Protect the sun."
Chu Xingyun continued to talk about his point of view: "I think everyone is very confused about this point of view. But from the perspective of energy-based theory, the sun is the focus of defense.
"When we reduce the complexity of the war to simplicity and regard it as an energy competition, the battle will be very clear.
"The Monoceros fleet wants to destroy the earth, no matter what method they use, they can't escape a little. They need energy, and it's huge energy.
"In the solar system, the place with the most majestic energy is the sun.
"Just like the situation where the Cleaner wants to destroy the earth, the Cleaner spacecraft is moored on the surface of the sun, absorbs the sun's energy, and launches the gamma star destroyer to attack the earth.
"Therefore, if the Monoceros fleet wants to destroy the earth, it also needs a lot of energy, so the sun should be their magazine.
"And it's the only magazine, because the closest star to the sun is 4.2 light years away.
"Therefore, it is impossible for the Monoceros fleet to absorb energy from other stars to destroy the earth. Their primary goal is only the sun."
After hearing Chu Xingyun's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.
War is a very complicated matter, but just like using the simplest theory to analyze complicated matters, you can see the essence of things.
In the universe, everything is inseparable from energy.
The sun is the largest source of energy in the entire star system.
After the analysis, Chu Xingyun made a final summary: "Therefore, I think the importance of stellar defense should be mentioned at the same height as the defense of the asteroid belt."
