Nine Hundred and Four Breaking News

The alien aristocrats do not need to build a starship with a length of 8,000 kilometers. They only need to build a few starships with a length of 180 kilometers, which is enough to wipe out the Earth's fleet and rule the entire solar system.

Zeng Rui turned back and asked a few more questions: "They don't know either. Judging from what the resistance organization knows, it shouldn't be possible.

Li Shili didn't want to hear what-if or what-if assumptions, but when he encountered such a strange group of servants, he really had no choice: "Is the news reliable?"

Zeng Rui's face twitched: "I don't know either, maybe. The nobles only limit the knowledge of the servants, but there are never restrictions on what the servants should know. The resistance organization has gone through all the knowledge that the servants have. No knowledge related to star-building ships was found.

Li Shili breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt uneasy: "Since aliens can't build a starship, why are they willing to release Europa?"

"Say something went wrong with Jupiter Zero..."

Li Shili's expression changed slightly: "You dare to release Jupiter without the ability to build a starship. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Zeng Rui opened his mouth and spat out a few words with difficulty: "Unreasonable."

Li Shili said solemnly: "The situation may be worse than we thought... By the way, do you know how the planetary engine is maintained?"

Zeng Rui quickly turned around and asked a few questions, then turned back in horror: "It is the nobles who are responsible for maintenance!"

Li Shili's heart sank and he sighed: "If you have the ability to maintain a planetary engine, why can't you build it? Even if you can't build it, don't you even know the principles and structure?"

Ye Han looked solemn: "In two years and nine months, if the alien nobles try their best to build starships... let alone several ships, just one will be enough for us, unless the diameter is less than ten kilometers!"

The Beiyuezhou fleet is equipped with a batch of 100-million-ton nuclear bombs. They cannot deal with Europa, but they will definitely have no problem taking down a ten-kilometer-sized starship.

"How is that possible?" Li Shili had a different view. "No matter how small it is, it's not only ten kilometers. One hundred or ten kilometers is about the same. It's not like they don't know we have nuclear bombs."

"One hundred and ten kilometers is not enough. Throwing a few more nuclear warheads will definitely solve the problem. The problem now is not only the starship, but also the alien fleet. If there are enough warships, even if we have nuclear bombs, we can't throw them on the starship." Ye Han Based on the military perspective, the most realistic difficulties are presented.

"This issue must be reported to the superior immediately!" Li Shili spoke urgently, "Xiao Zeng, tell the people behind you that we will talk about this for today. You tell them that there will be no problem in cooperation. We will discuss the detailed plan later!"

"Yes!" Zeng Rui agreed, but did not look back, "Chief, there is something else I must say."

"What's the matter?" Li Shili frowned.

Zeng Rui said solemnly: "I have learned a lot of information during this period. Many of the information is very fragmentary, but some of it can be connected. According to my understanding, aliens call nuclear weapons stellar weapons. They have no technology in this area at all." The comrades sent away by the aliens were all because they mentioned nuclear knowledge. I asked the resistance organization, but they didn’t know the news in this regard, and they didn’t have the concept of nuclear physics. I think the aliens wanted to know about nuclear weapons from us. manufacturing method.”

Li Shili frowned and nodded: "Is there more?"

"No more." Zeng Rui said.

"Okay, leave the communication equipment with you and keep in touch at any time. I will arrange for the resistance organization to discuss the details of cooperation later. That's it for today."

"Yes!" Zeng Rui agreed and took the initiative to cut off communication.

The main screen on the bridge flashed, and the picture from the surface of Jupiter Zero disappeared and was replaced by Jupiter Zero, which was slowly rotating directly in front of the battleship.

Li Shili turned around and floated towards the cabin door: "Captain Ye, can you come out for a while?"

"It's nothing inconvenient." Ye Han agreed, turned on the communicator and said, "Lin Yi, come to the bridge to take over immediately."

"Be there soon!" Lin Yi promised, and Ye Han immediately left the command chair and followed Li Shili out of the bridge.

Ye Han followed Li Shili as he drifted all the way. Neither of them spoke on the road until he drifted into Li Shili's dormitory.

He then said seriously: "Captain Ye, what do you think about the nuclear bomb?"

"I can't tell." Ye Han said truthfully, "I think the key lies in how much the captured personnel know about nuclear weapons. However, the principle of nuclear weapons is not a secret. You can find it by searching online. In addition, aliens can directly read If you think about it, it shouldn’t be difficult to crack nuclear weapons.”

Li Shili frowned deeply: "This is troublesome!"

"Not necessarily." Ye Han suddenly said.

"Oh? What should I say?" Li Shili had a sense of anticipation.

Ye Han said: "Take me for example. I know that nuclear bombs must use uranium and plutonium. I also know that plutonium-239 is an artificial isotope and must be produced in a nuclear reactor. I even know about gun-type structures and implosion-type structures... But I know this More, can I build a nuclear bomb?”

"How is that possible?" Li Shili twitched the corner of his mouth, wanting to laugh but not laughing.

"Yes, of course not!" Ye Han said, "What's the use of just knowing the structure of a nuclear bomb? I also know that explosives must be used in nuclear bombs, but I don't know what explosives to use, how much to use, and how to use them; I don't know about uranium ore I don’t know how to mine it, nor how to reduce uranium metal, nor how to separate uranium-235.”

At this point, Ye Han stopped and took a breath: "Do you think all these aliens know about it?"

"I don't know, but I think it shouldn't be difficult for aliens to solve these problems." Li Shili said.

"Well, even if aliens make an atomic bomb, what about a hydrogen bomb? A high school student can understand the principle of a hydrogen bomb, but what about its structure?"

Li Shili hesitated and said, "It shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"It's not difficult for those who don't know how to do it, but it's not difficult for those who know how to do it. There are not many people who understand the structure of a hydrogen bomb. It's hard to say whether there are a hundred people in the world... I'm not saying that aliens can't research it, but they don't understand nuclear weapons at all. It will take them several years to get results, right?"

Li Shili took a deep breath, "I know what you said makes sense, but I think we should never underestimate aliens. Do you understand what I mean? ? "

Ye Han pursed his lips: "I understand."

"That's good." Li Shili said, "In fact, I also know that even if the aliens have nuclear bombs, it doesn't matter. They don't have nuclear bombs, they can still destroy the earth, but for the fleet, whether there are nuclear bombs or not is a big problem."

"My opinion is just the opposite." Ye Han laughed, "Having nuclear bombs is only the first step. We must have means of delivery to be able to fight. Missiles are not simpler than nuclear bombs, and the speed of missiles is too slow. No matter whether it is anti-aircraft missiles or close-in defense guns, they can be effectively intercepted. To be honest with you, if it weren't for delivering nuclear bombs, our fleet would have stopped using missiles long ago."
